§ 219.07 - FISCAL IMPACT STATEMENTS

In order to effectively consider the short- and long-term effects of initiatives on City expenditures and revenues, all ordinances, resolutions, and executive orders shall be presented with an attached fiscal impact statement.

a.                     Each initiative must include a thorough analysis of its financial and operating impact, including, but not limited, to the following:

1.                     Whether the initiative will have an associated one-time (current year) or recurring impact

2.                     A five-year impact analysis, if the associated cost is recurring

3.                     The identified funding source(s), including organizational unit, subclass, account number, and year. General Fund expenditures shall also include the corresponding item number, if applicable.

4.                     Staffing implications and costs

5.                     Non-personnel operating costs

6.                     Capital budget requirements

7.                     The impact on City revenues

b.                     All grant-related legislation must clearly indicate the impact on the City’s General Fund. This shall include any matching requirements and whether the grant involves adding personnel-related costs which may require a General Fund subsidy once the terms of the grant are fulfilled. Personnel-related costs should include provisions for benefits.

c.                     Fiscal impact statements for legislation sponsored by City Council and the City Clerk’s Office shall be prepared by City Council’s Budget Office. Fiscal impact statements for executive and legislative action that originate in the executive branch or any other agency shall be prepared by the Office of Management and Budget.
