5. MATTERS FROM CITY MANAGER & STAFF
A. 2016.2017 Budget Outlook
The Council will be provided with a forecast of the upcoming 2016/17 Fiscal Year Budget.
An early look at revenues for 2016 -17 shows signs of modest growth due to flat inflation and
a slightly lower Consumer Price Index (CPI). Sales tax revenues are projected to show
moderate growth in the upcoming fiscal year bolstered by the opening of a new Boiling Crab
Seafood restaurant, the projected opening of a new Lucille's Smokehouse BBQ, as well as a
Grocery Outlet neighborhood market. Property tax revenues will continue to be the City's
largest revenue source and limited increases will rely heavily on residential sales as the CPI
increase is projected to be less than the previous fiscal year. Expenditures will increase in
concert with the rising cost of providing services. Projected financial resources will not
support any additions to full -time staffing levels in the 2016/17 Fiscal Year.
Recommendation: That the City Council receive and file the 2016/2017 budget forecast
report.
B. CDBG and HOME Programs FY 2016.17 Annual Action Plan
On February 23, 2016, the City Council conducted a public hearing to receive input on the
development of the City's Annual Action Plan for the period of July 1, 2016 - June 30, 2017.
Under federal regulations, no more than 15% of the Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) allocation can be used for social service activities. In addition, under the HOME
Investment Partnership (HOME) program, at least 15% must be set aside for a Community
Housing Development Organization (CHDO). Two organizations (Family Promise of San
Gabriel Valley and Santa Anita Family Service) that are current recipients of CDBG funds
Page 6 of 8
ROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL, HOUSING DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND THE SUCCESSOR AGENCY TO THE
ROSEMEAD COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION JOINT MEETING AGENDA
MARCH 22, 2016
made presentations at the public hearing as well as the one CHDO (Rio Hondo Community
Development Corporation) funded under the HOME program.
The City has been notified by HUD that Rosemead will be receiving $631,009 in CDBG
funds for FY 2016 -17, which is a 2.528% cut from its FY 2015 -16 allocation, and $217,225 in
HOME funds, which is a 7.99% increase from its FY 2015 -16 allocation. When combined
with projected carryover funds and anticipated program income, the City anticipates having a
total of $681,742 of CDBG funds available and $752,244 in HOME funds available for the
2016 -17 year.
Recommendation: That the City Council review and finalize the CDBG and HOME funding
recommendations under the City's FY 2016 -17 Annual Action Plan.
