Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: In 1978, the City of Sacramento and the County of Sacramento executed a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement (“JPA”) establishing the Sacramento Employment and Training Agency (“SETA”). Pursuant to Paragraph 21 of the JPA, the budget process requires the SETA Governing Board to approve the revised budget and submit it to the signatories of the JPA for final approval.
As approved by the SETA Governing Board, Sacramento City Council and County of Sacramento Board of Supervisors, SETA’s original budget for FY2018/19 totaled $87,584,548. Changes to grants and allocations received after the final budget was approved and the under-spending in Personnel and Fringe Benefits cost categories for the Head Start Program necessitate the revision of the Operating Budget for FY2018/19 to more accurately reflect the anticipated revenues and expenditures by cost categories.
The revised budget reflects an increase in the Fixed Assets category in the amount of $230,000 for the additional costs incurred on the Hopkins Park ELC modular construction project. Underspent funds in the Personnel cost category are being reallocated due to various vacant Head Start positions not being replaced during the program year.
The revised budget was presented and approved before the Governing Board of the Sacramento Employment and Training Agency on April 25, 2019.
Policy Considerations: SETA has been an effective force in connecting people to jobs, business owners to quality employees, education and nutrition to children, and assistance to more than 45,000 customers annually.
Economic Impacts: None.
Environmental Considerations:
California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”): This action is not a project that is subject to CEQA as it is an administrative activity and relates to government fiscal activities that do not involve any commitment to any specific project that may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment. (CEQA Guidelines § 15378(b)(2) and (b)(4).)
Sustainability: Not applicable.
Commission/Committee Action: Not applicable.
Rationale for Recommendation: City Council approval is required in accordance with the JPA which requires review and approval by the signatories to the JPA before the revised budget is considered final and authorized.
Financial Considerations: SETA’s FY2018/19 revised operating budget of $87,584,548 is financed by federal grants ($81,309,540), state grants ($5,772,469), and other contracts and miscellaneous revenues ($502,539). Approval of SETA’s budget will have no fiscal impact on the City’s General Fund.
Local Business Enterprise (LBE): Not applicable.
