Cities Association of Santa Clara County Agenda Report
To: BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Prepared by: Shali Sirkay, Executive Director
TOPIC: CASCC 2023-24 Membership Dues
SUBJECT: Vote on 2023-24 Membership Dues
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve keeping the CASCC membership dues the same in 2023-24 as they were in 2022-23.
BACKGROUND:
CASCC staff is currently working on developing a membership dues structure for the potential CASCC JPA which would take effect in the 2024 -25 fiscal year. While staff is thus engaged, staff is recommending that CASCC not change the current dues for one more fiscal year (2023-24). The current dues are as follows:
City Dues
Campbell $ 11,215.00
Cupertino $ 15,785.00
Gilroy $ 14,609.00
Los Altos $ 8,698.00
Los Altos Hills $ 6,523.00
Los Gatos $ 8,698.00
Milpitas $ 19,665.00
Monte Sereno $ 6,523.00
Morgan Hill $ 11,693.00
Mountain View $ 21,415.00
Palo Alto $ 18,314.00
San Jose $ 55,231.00
Santa Clara $ 34,044.00
Saratoga $ 8,698.00
Sunnyvale $ 40,292.00

RATIONALE: Extending the same dues schedule for one more fiscal year would: • Allow Staff to focus on developing a thoughtful, appropriate and equitable membership dues formula. • Minimize the disruptions caused by changing the dues twice in two consecutive years. • Align with the budget process that the cities undertake, which starts at the end of the calendar year for many cities. • Give CASCC board members ample time to discuss the proposed JPA dues structure with their city councilmembers and city staff. FISCAL IMPACT: Staff has confirmed with CASCC bookkeeper that CASCC will have enough money to operate for another year if the dues remain the same. Thus, there should be minimal fiscal impact on the CASCC budget. Staff will present the budget for 2023-24 at the May 11, 2023 board meeting. OPTIONS: The Board of Directors has the following options to consider on this matter: 1. Staff’s recommended action to approve keeping the dues the same in 2023-24. 2. Direct staff to return with more information. 3. Take no action, which would mean that the dues will be voted upon at the May 11, 2023 board meeting at the same time as the budget. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve keeping the CASCC membership dues the same in 2023-24 as they were in 2022-23.
