Dear Santa Monica Citizen
The new City budget calls for a broad range of
programs and services designed to make your neighborhood
and the entire community -- a safer, healthier place
to live and work.
At the same time, we are spending less money
~e are targeting government services to respond more
effect~vely to community needs. We are recovering
development-related service costs from those who use the
services. And we have launched an innovative management
improvement program that will help us gain greater financial
indep endence .
Financial highlights of the adopted budget include
- Elim~nation of the General Fund deflcit.
The General Fund is balanced for the first time
~n three years.
- Reduced spending by more carefully monitoring costs
and reflning spending projections. Spending has been
reduced from $86,998,000 in the last fiscal year to
$85,496,000 in the fiscal year Just beg~nning.
- Increased revenues through better enterprise
management, recovery of costs for services and
l~proved financial management techniques.

What kinds of serv~ces, programs and protections can

. Specialized training for fire fighters in handling
hazardous materials;
Expansion of adult fire safety education programs;
Stronger enforcement of laws on noise pollution
and other public nU~sances.
4-4-4
CO~llilliNITY SERVICES
Programs to combat child abuse,
Shelter for battered women and runaway children,
Legal services and family counseling,
Adult day care for the frail and elderly,
Youth employment opportunities,
Senior crime resistance and expanded senior
nutrition programs;
Arts projects and pier restoration
Mediation services to help resolve problems

business/consumer without resort to la~ryers,
The Farmerst Market
BASIC MUNICIPAL SERVICES
Street improvements in targeted areas including
new street lights and traffic signals,
New water well to decrease dependence on
Metropolitan Water District,
Library ~mprovements including easier to use
reference serv~ces and more Spanish language materlals
In branches serving the Spanish-speaking community,
Improved traffic and pedestrian safety including
new crosswalks and better vislbility at traffic stODS,
More synchronized trafflc signals,

5-5-5
BETTER MANAGEMENT
Improved municipal enterprise management,
Energy conservation at City facilities;
Improved management systems and accountability
for greater staff efficiency,
On-going analysis of City f~nances to reduce
excess spending,
~mputerized revenue forecasting for greater
financial flexibility,
New program development to expand f~nancial resources
Proposition 13, tax cuts and the budget problems of the
Federal government are hurting all of us. The City faces
mounting uncertainty about how much money we w~ll receive
from the state. Depressed economic conditions compound
th~s uncertainty and its ultimate impact. (See Figure B).
We have been forced to make some hard decisions. Rather
than reduce police spending, library hours or street
ma~ntenance, we have decided to increase the number of
metered parking spaces on commercial streets, raise refuse
collection fees and establish a street lightin~ ~nd park11ay
maintenance district. The refuse collection rate w~ll go
up by about 15 percent. We anticipate new assessment district
charges will be approximately $10 a year for single family
homeowners.
However, our commitments to consumer protection, tenant
protection and other act~vities will cont~nue to result ~n
direct savings to City res~dents, as well as to the City itself.
6-6-6
For example
,
we are seekine restitution beyond what state
?,uidelines nrovide for losses suffered bv victims of violent
crime.
In the future..
Many of the programs and goals outlined in this year's
municipal budget reflect major new directions and POllCY
shifts for the city. Our goals can be sumnarlzed as follows
- Maintain the current ethnic and income diverslty
of our City by supporting a range of affordable
housing opportunities.
- Promote economic growth that supports the needs of
our neighborhoods, our residents and our businesses.
- Expand the revenue base for City operations while
carefully monitoring and controlling spending.
- Maintain and enhance the City's unlque physical beauty
and natural environment.
- Continue our commitments to programs which respond
to human needs -- particularly the needs of women, senlor
citizens, the vlctims of discrinination -- and which
support famllies in crisis.
We welcome your comments.
Sincerely,
THE SA~TA MONICA CITY COUNCIL

HUMAN SERVICES FUNDING
Stepping Stone Youth Crisis Shelter serves runaway
youth between the ages of seven and 17. These kids are
frequently victims of child abuse or other forms of
domestic violence. On the streets they fall prey to
violent crime, becoming criminals as well as victims
Help for the frail and disabled elderly and their
families is provided through the Olive Stone Center, the
only adult day care center in Santa Monica. Olive Stone
serves seniors 60 years of age and over who need help
in day-to-day living It also provides education and
support for family members dedicated to maintaining
the~r relatives in the coomunity
The existence of both of these much needed programs
was threatened by federal and state funding cutbacks.
Support from the City of Santa Monica will maintain the
services these projects provide to our community.

potential impact on Santa Monica range up to a $1.5 million
reduction in state subventions. When the state budget is f1nally
adopted, we will propose any needed revisLons to the CounCll.
