Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: The FY 2019/20 Proposed Budget (Budget) for the Department of Youth, Parks, & Community Enrichment (Department) includes $39 million in funding and 702.34 full-time equivalent positions (FTE) with the following organizational and budget adjustments in the General and Measure U Funds:
Staffing Changes - A new position (1.0 FTE Staff Aide - Management) was added to the new community engagement team in the City Manager’s Office, partially offset through the elimination of a position (1.0 FTE Neighborhood Resources Coordinator II) in the Department.
Measure U - Measure U includes $13.9 million and supports 188.78 FTE in the Department. These resources have allowed the Department to restore and support:
• Park Safety - increase in homeless camp clean-ups
• Older Adult Services - extend programming and hours at center
• Youth Programs - provide at-risk youth and teens safe haven
• Community Center - programs for youth and older adults
• Aquatics - 17 aquatic facilities are open
• Park Maintenance - increase mowing cycle in parks
Post-Budget Release Change - A one-time funding for the 4th R program will be eliminated as the California Department of Education will be able to transfer all the affected children to child care subsidies provided by Child Action, Inc.
Policy Considerations: This report is consistent with Council’s direction and adopted budget principles to use one-time resources strategically, maintain a fiscally sustainable balanced budget, and keep the Council informed on the fiscal condition of the City. The Budget includes funding to address initiatives that will provide or enhance services and programs for the residents of Sacramento, as well as provide the opportunity to implement efficiencies and address critical needs.
Economic Impacts: None

California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA): The proposed activity is not a “project” as defined in CEQA Guidelines as it is a continuing administrative or maintenance activity and is not subject to the provisions of CEQA. (CEQA Guidelines Sections 15060(c)(3) and 15378(b)).
Sustainability: Not applicable
