Analysis:
The FY 2020/21 Budget was adopted by the City Council on June 29, 2020, for the fiscal year beginning
July 1, 2020. The Finance Department has compiled recommended budget adjustments to cover
additional costs and/or provide appropriations necessary to expend funds that have been received for
specific purposes. The requested adjustments will be funded by available revenue or fund balances
within each distinct Fund.
Inter-Fund Transfers and Budget Adjustments Technical year-end budget adjustments to the FY
2020/21 Revised Budget are requested to align appropriations in certain funds with actual expenditures
incurred through June 30, 2021, as actual expenditures cannot exceed the appropriation amounts
contained in the Revised Budget. Adjustments are also required to ensure compliance with GAAP,
GASB, and other regulatory, contractual or legal requirements. Please note any appropriation increases
are fully offset by commensurate amounts of revenues, available cash, or fund balances in each Fund.

The City's Financial Policy requires adequate reserves to fund unforeseen litigation losses exceeding the
amount budgeted in a year. Due to recent unfavorable legal judgements against the City related to the
Kennedy Commission and SB35, staff is recommending that we also set aside S3.65 million in the
General Fund for Litigation Reserves, to supplement the $350,000 that we previously assigned to the two
cases. City Council approval is requested to assign $3.65 million in the General Fund for Litigation
Reserves to adequately fund the general liability claims.

Huntington Beach Is In A Terrific Financial Position!
• As difficult as it is to believe given where we were a year ago. the City is
now in an exceedingly strong fiscal position as we are transitioning into a
post-COVIDI9 world
• The City Council made difficult decisions during the past year to pave the
way for sizable projected surpluses in FY2020/21 & FY 2021/22 as the
economy continues to recover from COVID
• We are currently projecting a $10.7M surplus in FY 2020/21 primarily due to
increased sales tax and hotel tax
• Our FY 2021/22 budget is structurally balanced and with improvements in the
local economy we are conservatively projecting a $7.2M surplus for the
current fiscal year
• The General Fund transfer into the Infrastructure Fund for the FY 2021/22
adopted budget-which has historically been set at -55 million in prior years-
includes a 130% increase to $11.5 million
• The adopted CIP budget which typically runs at around -525M /year is set at
539 3M for FY 2021/22 an increase of greater than 57%.
