3.125%
On March 31, 2017, the Mayor and City Council adopted Ordinance No. 184835 amending Sections 5.517, 22.801(p), 22.810.1 (g) and 22.815 of the Los Angeles Administrative Code to transfer administration of the Neighborhood Council Funding Program from the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment to the City Clerk. The Neighborhood Council Fund was also created and is administered by the City Clerk on behalf of Neighborhood Councils (NCs) as part of the funding program (C.F. 11-1020-S2).
The Neighborhood Council Fund provides funding to certified NCs for operation and neighborhood improvement purposes designated by each NC. In accordance with Administrative Code Section 22.810.1(g), money appropriated in the budget each year for certified NCs for costs related to the functions, operations, and duties of being a certified NC shall be placed in the Neighborhood Council Fund.
If an NC enrolls during a fiscal year, the appropriation is prorated based on the quarter during which the NC became eligible for funding and upon which its full Board has been selected. Any unspent funds remaining at the end of the fiscal year will not carry forward into NC accounts and will revert to the Neighborhood Council Fund.
There are currently 96 certified NCs and an appropriation of $4,032,000 is proposed for 2017-18 to provide each NC with an allocation of $42,000. “Other Appropriations” above reflects additional funding provided to the NCs through the 2016-17 Financial Status Report process, which increased the 2016-17 allocation by $5,000, from $37,000 to $42,000, for each of the 96 NCs. Also included in “Other Appropriations” are funds in the Unappropriated Balance in the 2017-18 Proposed Budget for NCs that are in the process of formation.
*The 2016-17 Adopted Budget amounts reflect appropriations that were previously reflected in the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment Fund. 822

ETHICS COMMISSION PUBLIC MATCHING CAMPAIGN FUNDS TRUST FUND
The Fiscal Year 2017-18 Proposed Budget for the Ethics Commission Public Matching Campaign Funds Trust Fund relates to current year funding as follows: Amount % Change

$ 3,220,424
Change from 2016-17 Budget
$ (30,431) (0.9%)
Charter Section 471(C)(1) requires an annual General Fund appropriation to the Public Matching Campaign Funds Trust Fund based upon the present day value of $2 million in 1991 dollars. The present day value is determined using the Consumer Price Index (CPI) (for all consumer items other than housing) for the Los Angeles-Riverside-Orange County metropolitan statistical area. The annual appropriation is subject to change each year adjusted by the CPI. Accordingly, the required appropriation amount for Fiscal Year 2017-18 is $3,220,424.
Charter Section 471(C)(1) provides that the City Council, by two-thirds vote, may reduce or withhold the Fund’s annual appropriation provided that: (1) the City Council has declared a fiscal emergency by resolution for that fiscal year; (2) the fund balance is at least $8 million in 1991 dollars adjusted to the CPI; and (3) the City Council has considered the Ethics Commission’s analysis on projected costs and public funding needs for the next four years. For Fiscal Year 2017-18, $8 million in 1991 dollars adjusted to the CPI is $12,881,695.
Charter Section 471(C)(2) provides that City Council, by two-thirds vote, may temporarily transfer funds to meet obligations of the City provided that: (1) the City Council has declared a fiscal emergency by resolution for that fiscal year; (2) the City Council has considered the Ethics Commission’s analysis on projected costs and public funding needs for the next four years; and (3) the funds transferred are limited to funds above the trust fund balance of $8 million in 1991 dollars adjusted to the CPI. The transferred funds shall be reimbursed to the trust fund upon determination from the Ethics Commission that the funds are needed or before the end of the next fiscal year, whichever is earlier.
The Ethics Commission projects payouts in Fiscal Year 2016-17 as it is an election year, which will result in a fund balance of approximately $10.5 million on June 30, 2017. Since the projected cash balance will be less than the minimum fund balance required per Charter Section 471(C)(1) to reduce or withhold the annual appropriation, the required appropriation for the Public Matching Campaign Funds Trust Fund for Fiscal Year 2017-18 is $3,220,424.

Funds are provided for the City's contribution to the hospital insurance portion of the FICA tax. Congress mandated participation of all state and local employees hired on or after April 1, 1986 in the Medicare system. Employers and employees are

An increase to this account reflects an increase in gross wage earnings and the projected number of employees subject to Medicare. 46,689,735 $ 2,793,573 $ 49,483,308 $ 4. Social Security Contributions. As of July 1, 1991, the City is required to pay the Social Security tax for all part-time employees who are not members of the Los Angeles City
Employees Retirement System (LACERS). As an alternative to Social Security for part- time, seasonal, and temporary employees, the Pensions Savings Plan was developed in 1993-94 (C.F. 91-2279) to save the City approximately $2 million each year as detailed in item No. 5 below. 1,618,968 -

Reconciliation Act

Individuals who become permanent employees, such as police and fire recruits, can transfer the contributed amounts into the City's Deferred Compensation Plan. The Personnel Department and the Deferred Compensation Plan Advisory Committee administer the plan with the assistance of an outside administrator selected through a competitive bid process. The cost of administration comes from investment earnings. 2,890,323
