STAFF REPORT
To: City Council
From: Tyler Salcido, City Manager
Prepared by: Tyler Salcido, City Manager
Subject: Resolution No. 2024- – Approval of Sales Tax Ballot Measure for General Municipal Election on November 5, 2024
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2024 -, authorizing the submission of a ballot measure for a one percent (1%) sales tax increase to be voted on at the General Municipal Election to be held on November 5, 2024.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The Fiscal Year 2024-25 General Fund Operating Budget reflects a $237,433 deficit, which is projected to increase in the coming years. Despite the City's fiscal prudence, rising costs in the public sector have necessitated additional revenue sources to meet the growing needs of our community.
Furthermore, the City's 10-year financial projections indicate a concerning trend where expenses will consistently outpace revenues, resulting in an annual average shortfall of $1.8 million over the next decade. This structural deficit poses a significant threat to the City's ability to maintain current service levels and fund critical infrastructure projects.
To address the budget deficit and ensure the continued provision of essential services, the City Council proposes a one percent (1%) sales tax increase. This increase is projected to generate approximately $3.8 million annually, significantly bolstering the City's general fund. The additional revenue will be exclusively utilized within Brawley, ensuring that funds are directed toward local initiatives and are not subject to state-level redistribution.
Key Areas of Impact:
1. **Public Safety:**
- Enhancing 911 fire, police, and medical emergency response capabilities. - Retaining police officers and supporting fire safety equipment.
2. **Community Services:**
- Repairing roads, potholes, and other infrastructure.
- Increasing youth programming and addressing homelessness.
3. **Economic Development:**
5c
26 - Supporting local small businesses and attracting new enterprises. - Investing in infrastructure to improve property values.
4. **Health and Safety:**
- Combating fentanyl distribution and other drug-related issues. - Supporting life-saving paramedic services.
The proposed measure includes provisions for independent audits and public spending disclosure to ensure transparency and accountability. All generated funds will remain within Brawley, dedicated to addressing the specific needs and priorities of our community.
Adopting Resolution No. 2024 - and approving the sales tax ballot measure is a critical step toward securing the financial stability of Brawley. The additional revenue will enable the City to maintain and enhance public safety, infrastructure, and community services, thereby improving the quality of life for all residents.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The implementation of a one percent (1%) sales tax increase is estimated to generate $3.8 million annually, which will provide a pivotal increase to the City’s overall budget and enable the funding of essential services and infrastructure projects.
ALTERNATIVES:
The Council may consider implementing a different sales tax percentage for the measure, ranging from
0.25% to 1.5%, or may choose not to submit a sales tax ballot measure at all.
