| Information |
| SUBJECT |
| Consider the appointment of a FY 2024/25 Annual Work Plan and Draft Budget ad hoc subcommittee |
| RECOMMENDED ACTION |
| Appoint one city member and one county member to work with staff to develop the recommended FY 2024/25 Annual Work Plan and Draft LAFCo Budget for the April meeting. |
| FISCAL IMPACT |
| None. |
| REASONS FOR RECOMMENDED ACTION |
With the planned retirement of our LAFCo's Administrative Specialist II/Commission Clerk on December 31, 2024, and the future retirement of the Executive Officer tentatively in 2028, succession planning is a Commission priority. Converting the administrative position into a management analyst position in the upcoming fiscal year would train a potential future leader and generate institutional memory before the Executive Officer retires in four years or so. A management analyst also would help LAFCo with the potential increased workload associated with the Commission’s long-term goals and projects.
As previously discussed during last year's budget process and again at the February Leadership and Priority Setting Session, this change is going to increase LAFCo's salary/benefits budget in the coming fiscal year. The apportionment of LAFCo’s budget among the cities and County helps mitigate this impact, but LAFCo recognizes this comes at a difficult budget season for our funding agencies. Hence, the need for this subcommittee.
Staff recommends the Commission appoint a subcommittee (comprised of one city and one county member) to work with staff to consider the draft Annual Work Plan, several budget scenarios, and make a recommendation to the full Commission at the April meeting. The Draft LAFCo Budget will be considered at the April meeting and the Final LAFCo Budget at the May meeting (separate draft and final budget public hearings are required for LAFCos to give adequate notice to funding agencies).
Staff anticipates the time commitment will be 1 or 2 one-hour meetings via Zoom sometime during the first three weeks of April. |
| BACKGROUND |
For discussion context and framing, attached are the following items:
- Feb 29, 2024 Leadership and Priority Setting Session Summary Report (documenting the results of our session).
- Draft FY 2025 and 2026 Annual Work Plan priority summary (the six left columns are new from the priority setting session and three right columns are required tasks)
- Preliminary budget increase scenarios (rough numbers to provide the range of possible salary/benefits budget increases to be considered)
