City Council Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: October 9, 2023
To: City Council
Through: Kat Sorensen, City Manager
From: Sully Jusino, Finance Director
Agenda Item: Resolution 2023-113: Accepting and Appropriating Community Assistance
Program Funds in the Amount of $107,070.85 for the Purpose of Capital
Projects Related to Fire, Public Safety, and Road Maintenance
Background and justification:
The 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 2022 we received $136,622.12. it was unknown if the program would
be funded for 2023. Because allocation of program funds was not anticipated, the City of Seward
FY23_24 operating budget does not contain budgeted revenue for the funds.
The State Revenue sharing funds have become 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 $107,070.85 will be appropriated to the General Fund and will be transferred to
the Capital Acquisition Fund in accordance with the City's budget policy.
