?T#e growth in Facilities Management is primarily attributed to the expansion of Beach Maintenance operations to provide enhanced levels of services,additional resources for Asset Management to effectively oversee the City's portfolio of properties,leases,and
concession agreements,and the realignment of costs associated with the Submerged Land Lease from the Citywide Accounts budget to Facilities Management,since it is managed by Asset Management.
(JI The growth in the Economic Development Department is primarily attributed to the creation and implementation of several programs and services designed to strengthen the local economy,support job creation,and expand opportunities for small businesses.
(l The growth in the Environment and Sustainability Department is primarily attributed to the expansion of several environmental and resiliency programs dedicated to managing,maintaining,and preserving the City's urban tree canopy.
(5I Citywide Accounts are a category of budgeted expenditures related to the City's overall operations that are not readily identifiable to any specific department.The decrease is primarily due to the realignment of expenditures that were previously budgeted under the
Citywide Accounts budget to the appropriate department budgets and one-time actuarial pension costs that were included in the FY 2017 budget.
(l The Adopted FY 2026 General Fund Budget for Non-Public Safety of $165.8 million is approximately $57.9 million,or 53.6%,higher than the Adopted FY 2017 General Fund Budget for Non-Public Safely of $107.9 million.In comparison,the FY 2026 General Fund
budget for Non-Public Safety,if it were to be indexed to CPI since FY 2017,would be $153 .0 million,or 41.7%,higher than the Adopted FY 2017 General Fund Budget.It is important to note that each year,several enhancements have been added to the current service
level budget (CSL)as part of the budget process.
