In 2020, the City <br />Council discussed a request by NYFS to increase the City’s contribution by fourteen percent. <br />This was an effort to bring the cities that contribute to NYFS on par with each other in-terms of a <br />per capita funding ratio. The Council decided to split the increase over two years and do a seven <br />percent increase in 2021 and 2022. Based on that decision, the amount for 2022 would be <br />$19,883 (up from $18,583 in 2021); however, NYFS has requested an amount of $20,374, which <br />is closer to a ten percent increase. This is the seven percent increase and an additional three <br />percent increase due to inflationary pressures. Council should provide direction on the requested <br />funding amount, too. <br /> <br />Budget Impact <br /> <br />The budget impact will be based on Council’s direction this evening. <br /> <br />Attachment <br /> <br />Attachment A: Presentation
