Stormwater pollution is created when bacteria, organic matter, disinfectants, and suspended solids are transported by water or wind into the catch basins and storm drain system. The untreated urban runoff then flows directly into our lakes and rivers, contaminating our communities with high levels of bacteria, posing a threat to public health and wildlife.

TO THE CITY COUNCIL
DATE: August 12, 2025
FROM: Carlos Zamano, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Leticia Nava -Cruz, Director of Administrative Services/ City Treasurer Vol-, SUBJECT: Discussion of General Sales Tax Increase Measure RECOMMENDATION: The Public Safety Subcommittee recommends that the City Council discuss the consideration of a 1 % local transactions and use tax ( sales tax), and authorize staff to conduct additional research, community outreach, and polling related to the potential measure.
Staff would return to the City Council at a future date for consideration of placing the measure on a future general election ballot.
FISCAL IMPACT: To be determined subject to direction of the City Council to move forward with a ballot measure and approval by Highland voters.
PUBLIC NOTICE: The agenda for this item was posted at the three locations per Resolution No. 2011- 047 and on the City' s website.
BACKGROUND: The City of Highland has consistently adopted balanced two- year budgets, thanks to conservative fiscal management by past and current City Councils. The General Fund has remained balanced without implementing layoffs, furloughs, pay cuts, or reductions in service.
However, while revenues are anticipated to grow, driven in part by significant commercial development in the Golden Triangle Policy Area, including a new Costco, projected expenditures are expected to outpace revenues annually over the next 10 years and beyond.
Public Safety
The City' s public safety expenses continue to rise significantly due to annual increases in service contracts with the San Bernardino County Sheriff' s Department and Cal Fire. On June 3, 2025, City Council approved the Sheriff' s Department Schedule A with an overall increase of $826, 323 13, 866, 585 - $ 13, 040, 261) from the FY 2024-2025 amended Schedule A. The increase of
6. 33% in the contract for FY 2025- 2026 includes increases in service levels with the addition of one Office Specialist and 3 Deputy positions. The Deputies are currently in negotiations with the County. Therefore, the current approved Amended Schedule A for FY 2025- 2026 does not include any additional increases for salaries, those negotiations are anticipated to be completed in September of 2025. The adopted Budget for 2025- 2027 approved by the Council on June 24, Approved Motion Second Agenda Item No.

1 2025 includes a Police Department increase of $1, 484, 530 ( 10. 8%) in Fiscal Year 2025- 2026 and 717, 005 ( 4. 7%) in Fiscal Year 2026- 2027. It should be noted that the proposed Amended Schedule A for FY 2026-2027 includes the additional of two more Deputies at an estimated increased cost of $ 653, 000. Without increases in Deputy salaries, the overall increase in the Sheriff's Department contract in the next two fiscal years will be nearly $ 1. 5 million.
On the fire services side, the Paramedic Department is projecting operating deficits of $2. 1 million in Fiscal Year 2025- 2026 and $ 2. 5 million in Fiscal Year 2026- 2027 compared to $ 370,000 and 375, 000, respectively in Paramedic Tax Revenue. These shortfalls are currently being covered through transfers from the General Fund — a practice that is not sustainable over the long term. On June 24, 2025, the City Council approved a new five- year Non -Municipal ( Traditional) Staffing contract for fire services that began in Fiscal Year 2025- 2026, introducing significant changes including a reduction in work hours from 72 to 66 hours perweek, as negotiated in a recent MOU.
It also includes the creation of a third platoon due to the reduced workweek hours. The staffing levels will increase from 24 positions to 31. The seven new positions are: 1 Battalion Chief, 2 Engineers, 2 Firefighter Ils, and 2 Firefighter/ paramedics. The contract also included reclassifying of Engineer Paramedic position to a Fire Captain/ Paramedic. The overall increase in the next 5- year contract is $ 16, 110, 477 ($ 46, 437, 819 - $ 30, 327, 342). This is a significant increase for the City for FY 2025-2026 through FY 2029-2030).
Infrastructure
Highland is facing major infrastructure challenges that require significant local investment to maintain public safety, support regional mobility, and meet future growth demands. Several high - priority projects, including bridge replacements, freeway interchanges, and a new fire station — either lack full funding or require substantial local matching funds to leverage state and federal grants. Without a new source of revenue, such as a local sales tax, the City will be unable to meet these infrastructure needs within a reasonable timeframe, delaying critical improvements and putting added pressure on existing facilities.
Key Infrastructure Projects:
Bridge Replacements:
o Base Line Bridge over City Creek and Orange Street Bridge over Plunge Creek are partially funded through federal Highway Bridge Program grants. o Total combined cost: approximately $ 107 million
o Local match required: $ 15 million, with a current shortfall of $ 12. 2 million Freeway Interchanges:
o SR- 210/ Victoria Avenue Interchange: Estimated at $ 145 million, with no funding secured for engineering, right- of-way, or construction. o SR-21015th Street Interchange: Estimated at $23. 4 million, with a funding shortfall of $9 million
Fire Station Replacement:
o Construction of a new facility to replace Fire Station No. 1, including a training center, is estimated at $20 million
o The City has been placing funds in reserve, but without new revenue, construction is not feasible within the next 20 years
The City' s adopted 5- Year Capital Improvement Program ( CIP) for FY 2024- 2025 through FY 2028- 2029 includes an overall expenditure of $ 224.9 million for 40 projects with $ 51. 4 million
22. 9%) being partially or fully unfunded for 5 projects. For grant -funded infrastructure projects, at a cost of $ 104. 8 million, the City must cover the full cost of work before receiving reimbursement.
This requires sufficient cash flow and reserve. Additional revenue would ensure delivery of the City' s 5- Year CIP and avoid delays of important projects that will benefit residents. 2 Transactions and Use Tax (Sales Tax)
In California, the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration ( CDTFA) is responsible for collecting both sales and use taxes. These taxes apply to the sale or use of tangible personal property purchased from in -state or out- of-state retailers. Under the Bradley -Burns Uniform Local Sales and Use Tax, cities currently receive 1 % of the total sales tax collected within their jurisdiction. This 1 % is unrestricted and deposited into the City' s General Fund to support essential municipal services.
Highland' s total sales tax rate is currently 7. 75%, distributed as follows:
1 % to the City of Highland ( Bradley -Burns)
6% to the State of California
0. 75% to San Bernardino County, primarily for transportation improvements under Measure I California law allows cities and counties to adopt additional local sales taxes —known as transactions and use taxes —on top of the Bradley -Burns tax, up to a combined maximum of 2%.
Currently, only 0. 5% of that allowable 2% is being utilized in San Bernardino County for Measure I, leaving 1. 5% of capacity still available.
If approved by Highland voters, a 1 % local sales tax measure would remain well within the legal limit and would be entirely retained by the City. These funds would provide a dedicated revenue stream to address Highland' s growing needs in public safety and infrastructure, supporting longterm fiscal sustainability without cuts to essential services.
Comparison of Local Sales Taxes
The proposed 1 % local sales tax measure would bring Highland' s total sales tax rate to 8. 75%, aligning it with many neighboring and comparable cities in the region. Maintaining a competitive tax rate is important for ensuring Highland can invest in community priorities without falling behind other jurisdictions in terms of service levels or infrastructure improvements.
Most surrounding cities have already adopted similar local sales tax measures, generating millions in annual revenue to support public safety, road repairs, and essential city services. These additional revenues have enabled those communities to fund long-term improvements and maintain a higher level of service for their residents.
In March 2024, voters in the City of Chino Hills approved a 1 % sales tax increase — from 7. 75% to 8. 75%— through their Public Safety, Road, and Essential Services Measure. This is projected to generate approximately $28 million annually.
In November 2024, voters in both the Town of Apple Valley and the City of Fontana approved similar 1 % sales tax measures, increasing their rates from 7. 75% to 8. 75%. These measures are expected to generate approximately $ 9 million and $ 46 million annually, respectively.
These actions reflect a growing regional trend, with cities securing local funding to invest directly in community priorities — something Highland now has the opportunity to do as well. 3 Current Sales Tax Rates in Neighboring Cities:

Bernardino

Impact and Applicability
If approved by Highland voters, the proposed 1 % sales tax measure would provide a new and ongoing source of unrestricted revenue directly to the City' s General Fund. These funds would be used to support essential services, including Public Safety and Infrastructure improvements, such as road maintenance, fire services, and law enforcement. The specific revenue amount is expected to be determined through an independent financial analysis by a qualified consultant.
For shoppers, the cost of the proposed tax is modestjust one cent per dollar on taxable purchases, or ten cents for every $ 10 spent. The tax would not apply to essential items such as groceries, medical and dental services, rent, real estate transactions, utilities, education, or labor - based personal services.
Importantly, as new commercial development continues to expand — particularly in areas like the Golden Triangle Policy Area, Highland is expected to attract more visitors and shoppers from surrounding communities. A portion of sales tax revenue is already generated by non- residents, and that share will only grow as new businesses open. This creates a valuable opportunity for non - Highland residents to contribute to the cost of maintaining Highland' s roads, emergency response services, and overall quality of life, all while they enjoy the City' s amenities and retail offerings.
By capturing more of this regional spending through a local sales tax, Highland can invest directly in the services and infrastructure that benefit both residents and visitors, ensuring our community stays safe, accessible, and well -maintained as it grows.
Next Steps
The City Council does not have the authority to enact a new tax directly, only the voters can approve a new local tax. Under the California Constitution ( Proposition 218) and Revenue and Taxation Code Section 7285. 9, the City is authorized to place a general- purpose local sales tax on the ballot, subject to approval by a majority of voters in a municipal election.
To do so, the City Council must first vote to place the measure on the ballot. In accordance with Proposition 62, this action requires a two-thirds vote of the City Council, meaning at least four affirmative votes are needed.
4 Recommendation
On April 23, 2025, the Public Safety Subcommittee received and reviewed this information. The Subcommittee requests approval from the City Council to move forward with the analysis, engage a consultant to assess the proposed ballot measure, and bring this item back to the City Council to consider placing a sales tax measure on a future general municipal election ballot to put this item to a vote of the residents of the City in order to let the residents decide.
