ADOPTING THE FISCAL YEAR 2018-2019 BUDGET AND THE ANNUAL
APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT
WHEREAS, the City Council has given careful consideration to the proposed budget
recommended by the City Manager for the Fiscal Year 2018-2019.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY DOES
HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. That the budget for the City of Downey for fiscal year 2018-19, is hereby
adopted as set forth in the statement of Summary of Resources and Requirements by Fund.
The City Manager is hereby authorized to expend, in accordance with the laws of the State of
California, the Charter of the City of Downey and its ordinances, on behalf of the City Council,
an amount of $262,021,127 for City operations as per Exhibit "A".
SECTION 2. That staff is directed to prepare and publish a final budget document
incorporating those changes approved by Council.
SECTION 3. In accordance with Article XIII -B of the State Constitution, and using data
furnished by the State Department of Finance and the Los Angeles County Assessor, the
appropriations limit for Fiscal Year 2018-2019 has been calculated.
The calculations indicated below, are computed by adjusting the appropriations limit for
Fiscal Year 2017-2018 for the percentage change in either California's per capita personal
income (3.67%) or the City's total assessed valuation due to new non-residential construction
(8.88%); and the percentage change in population of either the County of Los Angeles (0.51%)
or the City (0.42%). Since the percentage change in the City's total assessed valuation due to
new non-residential construction will provide greater benefit to the City, these factors have been
selected to compute the fiscal year 2018-2019 appropriations limit. Using these factors, the
appropriations limit for 2018-2019 is $196,472,846, which basically means that certain aspects
of the budget cannot exceed this amount. The proposed budget, currently under consideration,
has appropriations subject to this limit of $66,961,481.
SECTION 4. The appropriations specified herein shall constitute the maximum amounts
authorized for each department in each fund. The City Manager is hereby authorized to make
budgetary transfers between departments in a fund if, in his opinion, such transfers are
necessary and proper to the effective operation of the City; provided, however, that:
(a) Appropriations for personnel costs cannot be transferred to supply and service accounts.
(b) Any non -budgeted equipment, new or replacement, which_ costs more than $10,000,
requires prior City Council approval.
(c) The City Manager will informthe City Council of the purchase of non -budgeted
equipment, new or replacement that costs less than $10,000.
(d) Authorized manpower levels as specified in the Budget document are neither increased
nor transferred without prior -approval of the City Council. However, the City Manager
may exceed authorized manpower levels on a temporary basis to provide for the
effective training and orientation of new employees.
