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, since 2005, 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 2006, the City Council designated 1.5% of General Fund revenue, which amounted to $900,000 for the 2007 fiscal year. At the City Council Budget Retreat held on August 14, 2007, it was discussed by the Council that a fixed dollar amount, instead of a percentage amount, of General Revenue Fund should be allocated to the CSAC process. This Resolution will designate a fixed amount per Council's consensus for the 2008 fiscal year. None. FINANCIAL IMPACT For the ending fiscal year 2007,-it is estimated at this time, the City will collect $64,528,435 in General Fund Revenue $800 will be designated in the General Fund for the CSAC process if Resolution is passed.
