Emeryville council approves consent items; staff says $21,560 overrun will be handled at midyear
Summary
The Emeryville City Council approved two consent calendar items (5.1 and 5.2) on a 4-0 vote. City staff said an estimated $21,560 annual cost above the approved budget will be addressed in the midyear budget adjustment and that matching funds will come primarily from PBID assessments and contributions tied to the Emery Go Round shuttle.
Mayor Carr called a special meeting of the Emeryville City Council and the council approved consent calendar items 5.1 and 5.2 after brief questions from the dais.
Mayor Carr asked how an estimated annual cost "approximately $21,560" above the approved budget would be accommodated. Sharon, a city staff member at the podium, told the council, "we will bring forward an adjustment during our midyear budget adjustment for the current fiscal year" to reflect the differential for the approved PMA agreement and to accommodate related salary and benefit adjustments tied to forthcoming MOUs.
Sharon also said the application would not require new general fund commitments beyond the match identified in the staff report. She said the match "will be covered primarily by the tax assessment on the PBID, which council just took action last meeting to put on the tax roll," and by existing city contributions associated with the Emery Go Round shuttle program.
Vice Mayor Solomon moved approval of the consent calendar and Council Member Mora seconded. The clerk recorded votes of four ayes and one absence; the motion carried. Mayor Carr adjourned the special meeting at 6:08 p.m.
The midyear budget adjustment is the next procedural step to reconcile the unplanned cost differential; the staff report says the adjustment will be brought forward as part of the routine midyear process.
