City Council Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: September 12, 2022
To: City Council
Through: Janette Bower, City Manager
From: Sully Jusino, Deputy Finance Director
Agenda Item: Resolution 2022-098: Accepting and Appropriating Community Assistance
Program Funds in the Amount of $136,622.12 for the Purpose of Capital
Projects Related to Fire, Public Safety and Road Maintenance
Background and justification:
he Community Assistance Program, formerly known as Community Revenue Sharing, provides
funding to municipalities that provide services such as fire protection, water and sewer, public road
maintenance, and solid waste management.
The program is funded by state budget appropriations. Program funding decreased from $141
million to $30 million and in 2021 it was unknown if the program would be funded for 2022.
Because allocation of program funds was not anticipated, the City of Seward 2022 operating budget
does not contain budgeted revenue for the funds.
The State Revenue sharing funds have became more uncertain over time and to avoid factoring
one—time uncertain revenues into the City's operating budget,the City has operated under a policy
of utilizing one-time revenues to fund capital needs. Community Assistance Program Funds in the
amount of $136,622.12 will be appropriated to the General Fund and will be transferred to the
Capital Acquisition Fund in accordance with the City's budget policy.
