SUMMARY:
The County Executive Office requests that the Board of Supervisors conduct the FY 2020-21 Public Budget Hearings in accordance with California Government Code 29080 (b) whereby, "On the date stated in the public notice, not fewer than 10 days after the recommended budget documents are available, and at a time and place also stated in the notice, the board will conduct a public hearing on the recommended budget."
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
As a result of the uncertain economic conditions resulting from the ongoing novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the FY 2020-21 Recommended Budget process was altered. As such, on June 2, 2020, the Board of Supervisors (Board) approved a base FY 2020-21 Recommended Budget, which set base Net County Cost (NCC) limits for departments and included transfers, essential technical adjustments such as position realignment and funding for in-progress, ongoing capital and information technology projects. The approval of the Recommended Budget permitted the County to make payments in accordance with the approved appropriations after the start of the fiscal year on July 1, 2020, until adoption of the FY 2020-21 Annual Budget.
In accordance with Government Code section 29080, the FY 2020-21 Recommended Budget was made available to the public on or before August 19, 2020. In addition, a public notice stating the public availability of the Recommended Budget documents to members of the public and the time and place of the public hearing on the budget was published on or before August 19, 2019.
The following FY 2020-21 budget documents are available on the County Executive Office (CEO) Internet web page at: http://ocgov.com/gov/ceo/deputy/finance/budget/fy2021:
OC Recommended Budget FY 2020-21
Budget Augmentation Requests FY 2020-21
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The County of Orange FY 2020-21 Recommended Budget includes total appropriations of $7,538,994,090, which represents a 4.23 percent increase when compared to the FY 2019-20 Modified Budget. Total appropriations are comprised of $4,085,243,752 General Fund and $3,453,750,338 Non-General Fund appropriations.
In addition, the FY 2020-21 Recommended Budget includes total revenues, excluding General Purpose Revenues (GPR), of $6,648,904,480, which represents a 5.52 percent increase when compared to the FY 2019-20 Modified Budget. Total revenues consist of $3,195,154,142 General Fund revenues, excluding GPR, and $3,453,750,338 Non-General Funds revenues.
Total NCC contained in the FY 2020-21 Recommended Budget is $890,089,610, which is a 4.46 percent decrease from FY 2019-20 Modified Budget. Funding sources include $6.5 million in one-time reserve draws for new and continuing capital and IT projects and a $2.2 million repayment to OC Waste and Recycling for the Animal Care Center loan; $11.4 million transferred from the Teeter fund; and $10 million drawdown from the Orange County Employees Retirement System Investment Account.
If the Board were to approve all of the CEO's recommended Restore and Expand Augmentation requests, Countywide appropriations would increase to $7,569,419,686, Countywide revenues, excluding GPR, would increase to $6,679,330,076 and NCC would remain at $890,089,610.
STAFFING IMPACT:
As of June 30, 2020, the authorized position count was 18,477. The FY 2020-21 Recommended Budget includes a net deletion of 1,063 positions related to Technical and Reduce Augmentations, as well as the Board-approved deletion of vacant positions included in the June 2, 2020 adoption of the base FY 2020-21 Recommended Budget. The CEO is recommending addition of 585 positions associated with Restore and Expand Augmentation requests, which are pending Board approval. Should the Board approve all of the CEO's recommendations, the FY 2020-21 position count would be 17,999 (see table below), a net decrease of 478 from the June 30, 2020, authorized position count.
