Submit quarterly reports to the CAO listing labor expenditures, non-labor expenditures, and encumbrances, with an accounting of the Opioids Settlement Trust Fund monies provided. 6. AUTHORIZE the CAO to make technical corrections as necessary to implement the above instructions. Fiscal Impact Statement: The CAO reports that approval of the report will have no impact on the General Fund as sufficient funds are available within the Opioids Settlement Trust Fund No. 66E to pay for the proposed staffing recommended in this report for a total of $552,569 ($167,913 direct and $384,656 indirect). The recommendations in the report will increase the DOD’s 2026-27 operating budget by $167,913 and are anticipated to reimburse the General Fund for related costs of up to $384,656. Should California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) subsequently determine that any portion of the City’s related costs are ineligible for reimbursement, the General Fund will be required to absorb these costs. Financial Policies Statement: The CAO reports that the recommendations in the August 6, 2026 report comply with the City’s Financial Policies.
