When the process began in 2004, the City and County gave unequal amounts to this process, and separate contracts for City funds and County funds were utilized. Subsequently in 2005 and 2006, a Joint Partnership Funding Agreement was entered into by the City and County, and all agencies involved with the CSAC process currently receive an equal amount of funding from both government bodies. In both fiscal years, an amount of $854,000 from the City and County was allocated to the CSAC process for a total of $1,708,000 each year. At the City Council Budget Retreat held on April 12, 2006, it was discussed by the Council that a certain percentage of the General Revenue Fund should be allocated to the CSAC process. This Resolution will determine a percentage amount per Council's consensus and designation. Approval of the Resolution. FINANCIAL IMPACT For the fiscal year 2006, it is estimated that the City will collect $60,908,185 in general fund revenue. For the years 2004 and 2005, the City collected $57,671,566 and $60,168,010, respectively. As an example, if the Council were to designate 1.0% of the estimated 2006 General Fund Revenue to the CSAC process, the amount would be equal to $609,081.85.
