Over that period, the event was offered free to the public, with outside sponsorships, contributions, and other program fees being collected to offset the costs of the annual event. These outside contributions help to recover the majority of event costs. However, the program is presently in a negative cash position of approximately $83,560. This amount applies to the last two years. The majority of the overage is attributed to City labor costs charged back to the Founder's Day program. The increasing costs of the program, as well as the deficit position must be addressed. During the 2015 budget approval process, the City Commission had begun to address the program's increasing costs by increasing its contribution by $20,000 to $95,000. Properly funding the event remains a challenge due to numerous sponsorship checks being received after the event has ended. Finance will address any remaining deficits related to Founder's Day in the budget for the following fiscal year. Issue: Proposing a sustainable financial solution to address the existing deficit as well as assuring adequate policies and controls in place to ensure the event operates at a balanced budget level. Recommendations: The Commission has addressed as part of the current year's budget increased funding for the 2015 event. Staff recommends further: 1) $44,153 be transferred from department's overtime, or salaries per the attached spreadsheet; and 2) the remaining shortfall ($39,407) be funded from general fund contingency. These actions will result in a balanced program. Attachments: 1. Labor costs by City Department Financial Impact: Contingency will be reduced by $39,407 as well as the personnel services budgets of Maintenance Operations, Police, Building, Fleet, Parks, Recreation, Water Operations, Sewer Operations and Solid Waste by their respective amounts.
