Subject: FISCAL YEARS 2020-2022 BUDGET TRANSMITTAL

Dear Honorable Mayor, Councilmembers, City Teammates, and the Community of Morgan Hill,

The Adopted Budget that I am submitting today reflects the ongoing realities of the impact of the COVID- 19 pandemic as the City is expecting significant revenue loss. The pandemic’s impact on the global and local economy, coupled with existing unfunded needs and the loss of revenues from the City’s Residential Development Control System (RDCS), has negatively impacted the City’s budgetary outlook in a substantial way, and a lot sooner than originally projected. As a result, requests for decision packages and service enhancements are not included in the adopted biennial budget. In addition, a hiring freeze has been implemented, with the exception of critical vacant Public Safety positions. Furthermore, the Adopted Budget includes deferment of some building maintenance projects, reduced contractual services, and a draw down on the General Liability Insurance Fund to supplement the expected increase in unemployment insurance claims. The City will evaluate the potential cost savings generated by these measures and will initiate a responsible service level reduction recommendation, as needed, that considers a wide range of opportunities and circumstances and minimizes the impact to filled positions. Staff will continue to monitor and analyze the effects on City finances from the COVID-19 pandemic and will bring to City Council additional proposals and adjustments to the budget to ensure the City’s fiscal sustainability.

The table below summarizes the projected revenue loss by major revenue sources over the three fiscal years from the current year FY2019-20 to FY2021-22:
