Hayward sets May 27 public hearing on budget amendment; staff previews $12.6M revenue increase
Summary
Council scheduled a May 27 public hearing to consider a budget amendment that staff said would increase revenues by $12.6 million and expenditures by $11.02 million, primarily due to adjustments related to the city-owned hospital and several unbudgeted expenses.
The Hayward City Council set a public hearing for May 27 to consider a proposed budget amendment after staff previewed major adjustments on May 13.
Staff said the amendment would increase the city's revenues by $12.6 million and raise expenditures by $11.02 million. Staff explained the large figures reflect the city-owned hospital’s revised spending (including a clinic not previously in the budget) and several unbudgeted expenses: an engine repair for Fire Department Engine One, flood-project costs (roughly $355,000 mentioned for shelter-house work and FEMA funds), and pool painting that carried into the current fiscal year. Staff said an EMC dividend and other revenues offset some overages.
Council voted 4-0 to set the public hearing for the next meeting; staff invited residents to review the one-page overview that will appear in the public notice and to contact the city for clarification about specific line items.
