City Manager Bludau stated that the proposed budget amendment shows revenue projections for the January 1, 2002 to June 30, 2002, period as being $18,579,720. He stated that $15 million of this total would come from a first -time payment from the Irvine Ranch Water District (IRWD). City Manager Bludau stated that the budget amendment also authorizes additional expenditures totaling $5,274,294 for the same period. He noted that there is a net impact of a negative $260,085 on the 2001.2002 fiscal year budget. City Manager Bludau stated that he directed the department directors to prepare their budgets to provide the same level of service to the Newport Coast area that is already provided in Newport Beach and Volume 54 - Page 597 INDEX BA -023 Newport Coast Annexation Budget (21/40) City of Newport Beach City Council Minutes November 27, 2001 INDEX that all additions should strictly be for the Newport Coast area. City Manager Bludau noted that approximately 91% of the proposed expenditures are for Police, Fire and General Services. He, additionally, noted that of the $2,328,052 for maintenance and operations, $1.2 million is for a payment to the Newport Coast residents toward their assessments. Council Member Heffernan asked for an explanation of how the sequencing of events would occur, specifically referring to the start date of the annexation and when the first property tax payment is received. City Manager Bludau stated that the first property tax prepayment from the County would be made on December 1st. He noted that the City is not currently on the tax assessor's roll, but that there are agreements with the special districts and the County to split the annual property tax. Mayor Pro Tem Ridgeway asked for a clarification of when the tax payments for this year would be received by the City. Assistant City Manager Kiff stated that a certification of the annexation by November 30th would allow the City to collect property tax revenues in the 2002 -2003 fiscal year. He noted that the payments would not be received until July, but that the agreements with the agencies require them to split the January to June period. Council Member O'Neil asked when the annexation would become cost neutral. He stated that the City Council decided not to annex areas that did not pay their own way. City Manager Bludau stated that there are some onetime startup costs and equipment purchases. Assistant City Manager Kiff stated that the breakeven period would begin with the City's 2002 -2003 fiscal year. Council Member Glover recalled that it was already known that the annexation would operate in the negative for the first fiscal year. Assistant City Manager Kiff confirmed that the initial years are expected to show a deficit. Mayor Pro Tem Ridgeway stated that he's excited about the annexation. Motion by Council Member Glover to adopt a pre- annexation budget for the Newport Coast; and approve Budget Amendment (BA -023) increasing revenue estimates and expenditure appropriations related to annexation activities. Mayor Pro Tem Ridgeway stated that he believes that the I.AFCO certification will occur later in the current week. He stated that the agreement with Newport Coast is fair. Council Member Glover noted that much of the funding is due to an agreement with IRWD that was put together by Council Member O'Neil when he was the City Attorney. Volume 54 - Page 598 City of Newport Beach City Council Minutes November 27, 2001 Mayor Pro Tem Ridgeway noted that the 1972 agreement with IRWD gave the City the right to serve water to the downcoast area.
