City * Redevelopment Agency
In 1978 the voters of the State of California passed Proposition 13 which limited property taxes to a total maximum rate of 1% based upon the assessed value of the property being taxed. Each year, the assessed value may be increased by an "inflation factor" (limited to a maximum of 2%). With few expectations, property is only reassessed as a result of new construction activity or at the time it is soldto a new owner. At that point, the property is assessed based upon the added value of the construction or at the purchase price (market value) or economic value of the property sold. The assessed valuation data shown above represents the only data currently available with respect to the actual market value of taxable property and is subject to the limitations described above. * Due to a Revenue Neutrality law, the City has entered into a contract with the County, whereby the County will keep all of the City's property tax revenue through June 2022. Numbers above represent estimates provided by the County. 142

5 Total Direct Rate is the weighted average of all individual direct rates applied by the City/Agency preparing the statistical section information and excludes revenues derived from aircraft. Beginning in 2013/14 the Total Direct Rate no longer includes revenue generated from the former redevelopment tax rate areas. Challenges to recognized enforceable obligations are assumed to have been resolved during 2012/13. For the purposes of this report, residual revenue is assumed to be distributed to the City/Agency in the same proportions as general fund revenue. 4 Redevelopment Rate is based on the largest RDA tax rate area and only includes rate(s) from indebtedness adopted prior to 1989 per California State statute. RDA direct and overlapping rates are applied only to the incremental property values. The approval of ABX1 26 eliminated Redevelopment from the State of California for the fiscal year 2012/13 and years thereafter. 3 City's Share of 1% levy is based on the City's share of the general fund tax rate area with the largest net taxable value within the City. The ERAF generalfund tax shifts are unknown and may not be subtracted from the City's share.
2 Overlapping rates are those of local and county governments that apply to property owners within the City. Not all overlapping rates apply to all city property owners. 1 In 1978, California voters passed Proposition 13 which set the property tax rate at a 1.00% fixed amount. This 1.00% is shared by all taxing agencies for which the subject property resides within. In addition to the 1.00% fixed amount, property owners are charged taxes as a percentage of assessed property values for the payment of any voter approved bonds. 143

The City does not have any outstanding general obligation debt subject to the limit.

Notes: The Government Code of the State of California provides for a legal debt limit of 15% of gross assessed secured tax valuation. However, this provision was enacted when assessed valuation was based upon 25% of market value. Effective with the 1981-82 fiscal year, each parcel is now assessed at 100% of market value (as of the most recent change in ownership for that parcel). The computations shown above reflect a conversion of the assessed value for each fiscal year from the current full valuation perspective to the 25% level that was in effect at the time that the legal debt margin was enacted by the State of California for local governments located within the state. 149

2). PROGRAM PURPOSE: Describe which of the following program objective your project meets. More than one project objective may be identified.

• Increase Job Base: Through the Chamber’s programs, committees and activities, the Chamber supports business growth and expansion. The Chamber provides networking, education and business-to-business opportunities through its luncheons, breakfasts, and mixers. The Chamber hosted its first Job Fair and plans for another in the Spring of 2022. Hosted a Drive-In Concert and raised almost $20,000 to give back to the businesses in Citrus Heights.

• Increase tax base: Through our Government Issues Committee, the Chamber supports local and state legislation that is business friendly and opposes measures that would provide obstacles to a business’ success. Through the Economic Development Committee, the Chamber partners with the City to attract new business and retain existing business in the City. The Committee provides an open forum for elected officials, utilities, and service providers to update and share upcoming initiative and activities in the government arenas.

• Promote/Market specific commercial areas of the City: The Chamber continues to support the local business associations; Auburn Boulevard Business Association., Antelope Crossing and Sunrise MarketPlace. When the Chamber and City’s Annual Business walk occurs, the Chamber targets specific commercial corridors each year. The Chamber works with the City to address concerns and issues affecting the business community and follows-up with the businesses it visits to resolve issues. In 2022, the Chamber plans on hosting a “Taco Tuesday” event on Auburn Blvd.

• Attract new shoppers and visitors to the City: The Chamber partners with other Chambers in the area to provide venues for members to engage other members from outside the City limits. The quarterly Sunrise Corridor Chambers’ Power Luncheon brings members from the Rancho Cordova, Carmichael, Fair Oaks, and Orangevale Chambers together. Selecting a City restaurant to host the event provides local businesses opportunities to showcase their services.

Agenda Packet Page 277

• Create or enhance a sense of place: The Chamber will continue to work with the CHPD and City on managing those issues that concern and impact our businesses; homelessness, graffiti, illegal signs, and other quality of life issues. The Chamber will work closely with the Navigator Program and HART to help with the City’s homeless issues. Executive Director is a Board member on Citrus Heights HART and volunteer with the Citrus Heights Police Department.

• Improve perception and promote the City as business friendly: The Chamber invites the City and CH Police department to be guest speakers at a monthly Chamber Luncheon so that the business community can hear about updates, ask questions and have access to the City’s Mayor, City Council Members and City Manager. The Chamber also hosts an annual Elected Officials Reception which allows businesses to network directly with local, county and state officials. In summary, our active committees, regular and special events, along with established programs help make this an attractive location for regional businesses.

3) PROJECTED OUTCOME / BENEFIT. What is expected to result from this project? Describe how accurate record of this was obtained and will be maintained. Also, using the objectives listed in #2 above; describe how the proposed program, project or event is providing a benefit to the City / community? (No more than 1 page, typed).

In addition to the services outlined above, the Chamber will provide a strategic plan for 2022 Economic Development efforts to meet the overall goal of providing relevant and useful training and information to business owners. The Chamber commits to continue to be active with A.B.B.A. Every Friday, a newsletter is sent to over 800 email addresses with Classes listed and offered by SBA. Continue to meet with and work with SBDC – Small Business Development Center. The Chamber commits to continue Semi- monthly communication with the City and staff.

4) LEVERAGING OF FUNDS. What is the total project cost? How much of this is the City being asked to fund? Does your organization have any other funds or funding commitments to assist in the funding of the project?

The Chamber has a current operating budget of $210,000. The Sponsorship requested is a small percentage of the overall funding sources. The Chamber receives a regular stream of revenue from membership dues, event sponsorships and luncheon fees.

The Citrus Heights Chamber of Commerce should not be holding our monthly lunches outside of Citrus Heights. We prefer to use the Community Center and we are asking the City of Citrus Heights Economic Development Department to sponsor this location. By using the Community Center –
• It shows a strong partnership with the City
• It gives us the opportunity to use different restaurants and caterers in Citrus Heights • We will bring people into the Center and the area
Agenda Packet Page 278
We are asking for $10,000 for the Diamond sponsorship, and $4,848 for the South Room ABC at the Community Center. We will list the City of Citrus Heights Economic Development Department as the lunch sponsor each month, in addition to the City’s Diamond sponsorship.

5) SUSTAINABILITY. In almost all cases the City’s support of an outside organization should be considered a temporary or one-time commitment. Does your organization or event have a plan to become financially self-sustaining?

The Chamber activity pursues new corporate sponsorships (Chairman Circle Program) to fund special events and provide services to its members. The Chamber leverages the City’s support as an example to the value of partnerships for a stronger business economy within the City.

The sponsorship is evaluated each year to meet the City’s and Chamber’s changing needs and priorities. The City / Chamber partnership has been productive since the incorporation of the City of Citrus Heights. The Chamber anticipates that this mutually beneficial partnership will continue and indeed expand through the future years.

The Chamber hosts different fundraising events each year to help offset our operation cost.

6) SCHEDULE. Provide a schedule indicating when funds will be needed, when the project is to be implemented, and when it will be completed.

Funding is requested within the next month so that the Chamber can begin to prepare and allocate assets for the City.

By signing this document, I certify that I will only use the City funds for what has been outlined in this application.

All businesses accepting a grant will be required to sign a non- negotiable Affidavit, Waiver, and R elease form requiring the applicant to declare that all information contained in their application is true and correct.
