Resources
Additional General Fund Savings

The May Revision proposes to shift $13.5 million from the General Fund to Proposition 84 bond funds for Colorado River water management projects. Existing law committed $235 million General Fund for various water management projects, including the lining of the All American Canal, to reduce California's annual use of Colorado River water. The Governor's Budget proposed $13.5 million General Fund for this purpose. This amount represents the remaining balance of the state's commitment toward completion of the projects. Proposition 84 provides $1 billion for integrated regional water management projects. The Colorado River water management projects are eligible for these funds.

The May Revision also proposes to shift $20.4 million of the required annual transfer to the Habitat Conservation Fund from the General Fund to Proposition 1E bond funds. Proposition 117, approved by the voters in 1990, requires an annual transfer of $30 million to the Habitat Conservation Fund for the acquisition and restoration of habitat. The Governor's Budget proposed $20.4 million General Fund toward this purpose, with the remaining amount funded from various other funds. Proposition 1E provides $290 million for the enhancement of flood protection corridors, including projects that preserve the wildlife value of the properties. These funds are eligible to meet the Habitat Conservation Fund transfer requirement.
