Dear Board Members:
RE: Adoption of Funding Levels for Budget for
1978-1979 in Accordance with Provisions of
Proposition 13
In accordance with your instructions, submitted herewith is
a tabulation of the proposed 1978-1979 budget showing the funding
levels for all county appropriations established in accordance
with the provisions of the constitutional amendment known as
Proposition 13. It is to be emphasized that the attached document
is not a proposed budget nor the annual budget message in accordance
with provisions of the government code and applicable county ordi-
nances. It is a tabulation of the funding levels under Proposition 13
and sets forth the budget requirements and estimated financing for
the 1978-1979 budget. This tabulation does not contemplate funding
from the State of California which may be available for allocation
by your Board before June 30, 1978 .
The tabulation is arranged to show the proposed budget as it
would have been recommended by this office in accordance with your
guidelines established April 25 , 1978. These amounts are then
reduced by the applicable revenues for each department and expend-
iture categories which also follow the mandated services over which
your Board has little or no control. The remaining amount to be
financed by general revenues of the County, including property tax,
has then been reduced in accordance with our best understanding of
the provisions of Proposition 13.
You will note that the overall reduction in the gross figures
for the two proposed budgets is 23% . You will also note that the
necessity to fund the mandates in accordance with applicable state
and federal laws results in a situation in which certain county
operations remain at approximately 100% of the recommended budget
levels prior. to Proposition 13 while others are reduced to a
Board of Supervisors -2- June 20, 1978
retention level as low as 48%. This is a clear demonstration of
the amount of the county budget which is controlled by mandates
and funding from other sources and those services which are not so
mandated and therefore are a matter of discretion of the Board of
Supervisors.
You will note further that the mandates and the revenues
flowing to support them do not necessarily coincide with the general
public views as to which services should be retained at a high level
of operation and which should be reduced. This will and has caused
some substantial alarm within the community, but it should be pointed
out to your Board that you are bound by the constitutions and the
statutes of the federal government and the State of California for
operation of county services, and your discretion is extremely limited
in many of these areas.
In another report we will attempt to apply any assistance
received from the State of California by legislative action to those
non-mandated areas which have suffered such major reductions. This
will be done in accordance with the priorities which your Board
has established over the last few days and will be available to
you as soon as we have information that the State Legislature has
acted.
If the attached information is satisfactory and meets with your
approval, it is recommended that the following actions be taken:
1. Establish funding levels for each department in
accordance with report of the County Administrator
dated June 20, 1978 .
2. Instruct departments to reconcile retention plans
to the established funding levels and file with
the Board by June 22, 1978 at 12 noon the lists of
classifications and numbers of positions to be
eliminated and a separate list of the classifications
and numbers of positions to be retained.
3 . Instruct each department head and County Administrator
to issue warning notices and layoff notices.
4. Instruct Personnel Director to continue meet and confer
sessions in accordance with Employee Relations Ordinance.
5. Instruct CAO and County Counsel to complete issuance
of all notices for cancellation and/or revision of
contracts, leases and other instruments.
Board of Supervisors -3- June 20 , 1978
6. Establish minimum staffing through September 1,
1978 which will be required for implementation
of Proposition 13 in the following departments :
. Clerk of the Board
County Counsel
Civil Service
Treasurer-Tax Collector
(including Retirement Administrator)
Assessor
Auditor-Controller
County Administrator
Board of Supervisors
In addition, provide minimum additional staffing for
conduct of November election.
