WHEREAS, the City Council has provided direction that 15% of General Fund expenditures be
held in a designated reserve for emergency contingencies; and
WHEREAS, in addition, one-time General Fund monies have been accumulated for specific uses;
and
WHEREAS, as of June 30, 2024, a total of $344,673 was committed for various uses; and
WHEREAS, as of June 30,2025, $120,609 is committed for turf replacement program, $369,053 is

WHEREAS, as of June 30,2025, after balances of $120,609 are committed, $465,282 are released,
the General Fund Committed Fund Balance as of June 30, 2025 totals $0; and
WHEREAS, Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) number 54 requires that those
revenues be committed and released by formal Council action; and
WHEREAS, environmental analysis for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) was already completed with each adjustment, transfer, and encumbrance, and this action is exempt
from CEQA because it is not a project which has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in
the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, pursuant to CEQA
Guideline section 15378, because this action merely amends the City’s annual appropriations ordinance in
accordance with Section 60 of the City Charter.

1. Declares that the above recitals are true and correct and are incorporated into this resolution as findings of the
