SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION•
Accept this report and direct the County Administrator to continue to
monitor the budget and implement corrective plans where merited.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This report is presented for information only, so accepting the report has
no financial impact. However, the status of the 1985-1986 budget at the
end of the fiscal year has financial implications for financing the 1986-
1987 budget.
BACKGROUND: ,
Overview
For each of the past seven quarters, the County Administrator' s office has
prepared a report which analyzes the status of the budget and highlights
the budget units which deviate from the budget plan in terms of expendi-
tures and revenues. Actions which are necessary to ensure a healthy budget
by the end of the fiscal year are recommended as part of the quarterly
reporting process. Other items which have major fiscal impacts are also
reviewed as part of this periodic report.
Expenditures
Most departments and budget units were managed within the allocations
approved by the Board for the fiscal year. Some budget units required
additional allocations because expenditures exceeded expectations. These
are discussed in more detail in Attachment I:
Unless otherwise noted, those budgets which show overexpenditures as of
this report will be followed by appropriation adjustments which will
balance their budgets as of the time the books are closed.
Revenues
Most departments and budget units achieved their revenue estimates. Again,
these specific situations are described in Attachment I .

As 'was pointed out at the budget hearings, the Health Department did not
meet their revenue projections. One significant factor for the revenue
shortfall was that the Merrithew Memorial Hospital inpatient census aver-
aged about 116 compared to the budgeted level of 120 . Another significant
factor was an unexpected change in the payor mix, resulting in less than
anticipated revenue from third party payors. As a result, the department
finished the fiscal year with a shortfall of $447 ,806. This shortfall was
anticipated in earlier quarterly reports received by the Board. In fact,
the ending negative balance was less than expected and discussed in earlier
reports.
General County revenues exceeded the budget estimates as predicted in the
third quarter report. This revenue increase was primarily driven by motor-
vehicle-in-lieu monies. Motor-vehicle-in-lieu monies exceeded the budgeted
amount because of higher than anticipated new car sales, higher than
projected car registration renewals and elimination of the problem of
underreporting revenues by the Department of Motor Vehicles. It is expect-
ed that the high level of activity experienced in 1985-1986 will not be
matched in 1986-1987 .

1985-86 FOURTH QUARTER BUDGET STATUS REPORT
GENERAL FUND
* Budget Unit 0001 - Board of Supervisors
REVENUES: Budgeted $4,000 Percent Received: 620
Revenues from the sale of maps and documents were budgeted on the
basis of the high level of activity in the latter part of fiscal year
1984-1985. A similar level of activity did not occur this fiscal
year.
EXPENDITURES: Budgeted $1,016,304 Percent Expended: 100. 5%
Expenses are high because of high costs in building occupancy and also
because the cost of auditing services from Peat, Marwick and Mitchell
were erroneously left out of the recommended and adopted budget.
* Budget Unit 0003 - County Administrator
REVENUES: Budgeted $157,748 Percent Received: 124%
Revenue is received from trust funds and special districts as re-
imbursement for services provided by the office. Adjustments made to
the charge rates and a greater amount of staff time spent on the
reimbursable activities has increased revenue beyond the budgeted
amount.
* Budget Unit 0010 - Auditor - Controller
REVENUES: Budgeted $922,870 Percent Received: 121. 5%
Revenues were realized at a higher than budgeted amount because ( 1)
unanticipated supplemental roll administrative reimbursement from
prior years was received and ( 2) income received for accounting
services provided to the Mental Health Division of Health Services was
reclassified from costs applied to revenue. As a result of this
reclassification, costs applied in this budget unit appear to be
underrealized.
EXPENDITURES: Budgeted $3,349, 597 Percent Expended: 106 . 5%
The Auditor' s Office experienced significantly high expenses in Data
Processing Services this year. These expenses were incurred due to
retroactive payrolls, development of the supplemental property tax
system, mandated changes in the personnel system, and extraordinary
training costs. These expenses were unknown at the time of budget
preparation and were, for the most part, offset by savings elsewhere
in the budget.

Budget Unit 0015 - Treasurer - Tax Collector
REVENUES: Budgeted $455,256 Percent Received: 72. 20
Revenues were realized at a significantly lower level than budgeted
because ( 1) charges were not made to Special Districts for Treasurer
services and ( 2) costs for publishing the delinquent taxes report were
credited in Budget Unit 0005 instead of this budget.
EXPENDITURES: Budgeted $1,637,206 Percent Expended: 88. 20
The Treasurer-Tax Collector has operated at a conservative expenditure
level because of the anticipated underrealization of revenues. The
low level of expenditures is a result of holding vacant positions open
and savings in specialized printing.
* Budget Unit 0016 - Assessor
REVENUES: Budgeted $54,900 Percent Received: 399%
Revenues were realized at a higher than budgeted amount because of the
receipt of unanticipated supplemental roll administrative reimburse-
ment from prior years.
* Budget Unit 0026 - Revenue Collection
EXPENDITURES: Budgeted $831,511 Percent Expended: 77%
Because the planned purchase of an automated collection system was not
realized, operating and leasing funds were not expended. Also, staff
to operate the system were not added, resulting in salary savings. A
portion of the unexpended monies will be rolled over to purchase the
system in fiscal year 1986-1987 .
* Budget Unit 0035 - Personnel
REVENUES: Budgeted $2,517 ,227 Percent Received: 80%
Revenues are underrealized because expenditure levels are low.
Expenditures in the benefits program did not increase during the last
quarter as anticipated.
EXPENDITURES: Budgeted $2,382,141 Percent Expended: 84%
Expenses are low because the costs for the benefits program are
lagging behind a straight-line projection. This situation is normal
for the benefit programs since contracts for disability and workers'
compensation are paid at the end of the fiscal year.

1985-86 FOURTH QUARTER BUDGET STATUS REPORT
* Budget Unit 0036 - Personnel Merit Board
EXPENDITURES: Budgeted $103,022 Percent Expended: 810
Expenditures are below the anticipated level because the temporary
salaries account was not utilized. A temporary employee was to have
been hired in March to train for the replacement of the Executive
Secretary of the Merit Board. However, due to selection delays, the
temporary employee was not hired in fiscal year 1985-1986. There was
also considerable savings in professional and specialized services.
* Budget Unit 0043 - Elections
REVENUES: Budgeted $519,050 Percent Received: 116.70
Revenues were realized at a higher rate than anticipated because more
elections were held among cities, resulting in higher reimbursement.
* Budget Unit 0062 - Equipment Garages
REVENUES: Budgeted $12,000 Percent Received: 160
When this budget unit split from Public Works to become part of
General Services, an accounting change was made so that most of the
revenue formerly credited to this budget unit is now credited else-
where. This change occurred after the fiscal year 1985-1986 budget
was adopted.
* Budget Unit 0063 - Equipment Operations
REVENUES: Budgeted $331,070 Percent Received: 74%
An accounting change involving charges to the County Superintendent of
Schools moved a large portion of revenue to expenditure transfers.
* Budget Unit 0077 - Miscellaneous General Property
REVENUES: Budgeted $620,376 Percent Received: 90%
Rental income at two locations representing a significant amount of
revenue was not realized as budgeted. Income. was budgeted at each
location for 12 months but was realized for only six and eight months
respectively.
* Budget Unit 0111 - Plant Acquisition
REVENUES: Budgeted $4,403, 208 Percent Received: 73%
Typically, revenues for capital projects do not follow straight line
projections. The revenue is primarily a result of State funds re-
ceived for the Southern Pacific right-of-way project. The revenue
will increase as further claims are processed by the State.

1985-86 FOURTH QUARTER BUDGET STATUS REPORT
* Budget Unit 0111 - Plant Acquisition (Continued)
EXPENDITURES: Budgeted $10.,446,914 Percent Expended: 52%
Expenditures in this budget are for various capital projects. Funds
are accumulated year-to-year for certain projects and expended as
project schedules proceed. The allocation includes major sums for the
new jail and for the continuation of the purchase of the Southern
Pacific right-of-way property. The expenditures will increase as the
projects proceed to construction during the year.
* Budget Unit 0146 - Retiree Health Benefits
REVENUES: Budgeted $12,000 Percent Received: 114. 30
Revenues in this account are the retirees' shared premiums. It is
estimated that there will be a surplus of approximately $1, 250. The
surplus is a result of an increase in the premiums of most plans.
* Budget Unit 0148 - Central Services
REVENUES: Budgeted $92,000 Percent Received: 72%
The major reason for underrealization of revenue has been inadequate
rates. A rate study has been done, and new rates took effect July 1.
Also, inadequate staffing for much of the year made it more difficult
to complete revenue producing work.
* Budget Unit 0161 - Survey Monument Preservation
EXPENDITURES: Budgeted. $143,818 Percent Expended: 9%
Low expenditures reflect level of a attention devoted to this func-
tion. Maintenance of historical land division lines is of low prior-
ity given many other responsibilities of Public Works which have
higher priority.
* Budget Unit 0200 - Superior Court
REVENUES: Budgeted $1,045,336 Percent Received: 98%
Revenue is slightly underrealized because some budgeted SB 90 reim-
bursement was not received during this fiscal year.
* Budget Unit 0210 - Mt. Diablo Municipal Court
REVENUES: Budgeted $1,065,443 Percent Received: 1120

* Budget Unit 0211 - Bay Municipal Court
EXPENDITURES: Budgeted $2,729,967 Percent Expended: 1030
The Court' s salary account is overspent at the end of the fiscal year
because the cost of using assigned judges during the long absence of a
regular judge has exceeded the budget. Services and supplies are also
overspent, primarily due to the expense of preparing an unanticipated
number of court reporters' transcripts. The cost of using contract
help also exceeded the budgeted amount.
* Budget Unit 0214 - Walnut Creek - Danville Municipal Court
REVENUES: Budgeted $1,366,405 Percent Received: 99%
.The Court' s revenue receipts are slightly below expectations at the
end of the 1985-1986 fiscal year, primarily because Vehicle Code and
General fines are underrealized. Also, the jury fee reimbursement
from the State was less than expected.
* Budget Unit 0235 - Law & Justice Systems Development
REVENUES: Budgeted $140,226 Percent Received: 980
Driver Education fees have been less than estimated by the Municipal
Courts, thereby reducing the amount of computer equipment which could

The Department appears underspent because computer equipment purchases
which have been encumbered have not yet been paid out.

Revenues materialized at a much higher level than projected due
primarily to the new fee related to the change of ownership statement.

estate market which has generated a large number of transactions. The
larger volume of documents being recorded has also led to higher
revenues.

outside agencies causing a lag in reporting of expenditures. Except
for identified County projects, all other projects are offset by
revenues.
* Budget Unit 0359 - Coroner
REVENUES: Budgeted $14,000 Percent Received: 87%

* Budget Unit 0363 - Hazardous Materials Management
REVENUES: Budgeted $55,888 Percent Received: 770

to correct the errors, however, an excess amount was left in this
budget.
* Budget Unit 0364 - DA - Public Administrator
REVENUES: Budgeted $23,000 Percent Received: 1430
Revenue is greater than expected because several large estates were
settled early in the fiscal year.
* Budget Unit 0366 - Animal Services
REVENUES: Budgeted $1,686,500 Percent Received: 860
Revenues for this budget unit consist of fees received from animal
licenses, spay clinic, sale of animals, city contracts and miscel-
laneous humane services. All revenue sources, except city contracts,
are falling short of budget projections. Part of this shortage is
related to staff vacancies experienced by the department during the
first half of the year. Although revenues are not being realized at
the budgeted level, the underexpenditure is resulting in a net County
cost below that budgeted.
EXPENDITURES: Budgeted $2,273,801 Percent Expended: 89%
The underexpenditure occurring in this budget unit is mainly the
result of staff vacancies which were experienced during the first half
of the fiscal year.
* Budget Unit 0450 - Health Services - Public Health
REVENUES: Budgeted $4, 320,962 Percent Received: 840
Revenues for this budget unit are mainly attributable to State money,
most of which is submitted on a quarterly basis. The current revenue
figures reflect State reimbursement for only the first three quarters
of the fiscal year. Receipt of fourth quarter revenues, mainly from
Medicare, will bring the actual revenues close to the budgeted amount.

Budget Unit 0452 - Health Services - Environmental Health
REVENUES: Budgeted $924, 000 Percent Received: 1350
The overrealization of revenues is the result of implementation of the
new underground licensing inspecting program during the fiscal year.
The source of inspection fees was not known at the beginning of the
fiscal year. The large amount of revenue derived from this source
issue will not be realized each year inasmuch as the license fees are
good for a five year period.
* Budget Unit 0453 - Toxic Waste Spill Cleanup
EXPENDITURES: Budgeted $ 0 Percent Expended: 1000
Since it is not feasible to determine the amount of funds required for
toxic waste spill cleanup, no appropriation was budgeted for 1985-
1986. The funds expended represent the County cost incurred for toxic
waste cleanup. Identified parties responsible for the spill are
required to reimburse the County for incurred costs. In the event
that no responsible party is identified, the cleanup remains a County
cost. To date, $43,249 has been expended under this budget unit.
* Budget Unit 0460 - California Children' s Services
REVENUES: Budgeted $1,670,377 Percent' Received: 75%
Revenues for this budget unit cannot be projected on a straight line
basis since over 95% of the revenues are attributable to State reim-
bursement received on a quarterly basis. The revenues to date reflect
receipt of State reimbursement for the first three quarters of the
fiscal year. Upon receipt of fourth quarter revenues, it anticipated
that the total amount of revenues budgeted for this year will be
realized.
* Budget Unit 0467 - Alcohol, Drug Abuse, Mental Health
REVENUES: Budgeted $19,151,402 Percent Received: 92%
Revenues are running 8% below the budgeted level.- However, State
reimbursement for the County' s cost for alcoholism, drug abuse and
mental health programs lags behind expenditures by several months.
Receipt of additional revenues attributable to 1985-1986 fiscal year
will bring total revenues received up to a slightly below the budgeted
amount.
EXPENDITURES: Budgeted $21,476,864 Percent Expended: 102%
Expenditures are slightly higher than budgeted. The overexpenditure
result from slightly higher salaries and employee benefit expenditures
but mainly from the cost of County Hospital services provided to
clients served by this budget unit.

EXPENDITURES: Budgeted $750,000 Percent Expended: 73%
Expenditures for this budget unit are incurred and included in Mental
Health claims within Budget Unit 0467 - Alcohol, Drug Abuse, Mental
Health. The Auditor-Controller' s Office transfers the State Hospital
cost to this budget unit. The fact that expenditures are indicated
running below budgeted amounts reflects the delay in the transfer of
these costs to this budget unit. It is anticipated that final year
end adjustments will bring expenditures up to the budgeted level.
* Budget Unit 0472 - General Sewer Planning
EXPENDITURES: Budgeted $430,000 Percent Expended: 48%
The budget unit includes support funds for staff services of the
Conservation Program Division of the Community Development Department.
This staff provides technical and administrative services related to
water, sewer and other environmental issues. There has been some
delays in billing total costs of staff time to this budget unit.
* Budget Unit 0473 - Solid Waste Management
REVENUES: Budgeted $189,700 Percent Received: 110%
Revenues show an increase over budgeted levels. The additional
revenue is generated from increases in tipping fee based on antici-
pated volume of solid waste.
EXPENDITURES: Budgeted $170,400 Percent Expended: 110%
Due to several issues involving landfill projects, more than antici-
pated staff time devoted to these issues have caused the unit to
expend more than projected costs. However, all costs are offset by
revenue.
* Budget Unit 0500 - Social Services Department
REVENUES: Budgeted $24,489,123 Percent Received: 78%
Revenues for this budget unit are down due to a combination of fac-
tors. Many of these revenue accounts are experiencing an on-going lag
of six to twelve months in revenue reimbursement primarily because the
State has been slow in the processing and release of funds: Addition-
ally, some revenue accounts are down due to a decrease in activity.
Activity needed to generate higher revenue. The department is contin-
uing to aggressively pursue avenues toward corrective action with
regards to the lag in reimbursement.

* Budget Unit 0540 - Health Services - Hospital Enterprise
REVENUES: Budgeted $54,059,693 Percent Received: 90%

budgeted level. This reflects a lower than anticipated average daily
inpatient census and decreased revenue from Medicare and private pay
patients.
