I. GENERAL PURPOSE FUND Q3 REVENUES
This section of the report provides an assessment of the City's revenue condition in the current fiscal year as compared to the FY 2023-24 Adjusted Budget based on actual performance during the first nine months of FY 2023-24, quarterly trends established in prior fiscal years, and external data sources such as the State of California (State), the County of Alameda (County), the City's Sales Tax and Property Tax consultant HDL Companies (HDL), and revenue consultants Blue Sky Consulting Group. Based on this analysis, the GPF tax revenue is projected to end the year with a net shortfall of $89.01 million. The Adjusted Budget also assumes $30.12 million in use of fund balance and $55.24 million in prior year carry-forwards.
Without accounting for the before mentioned one-time use of available funds, the GPF revenues forecast to come in at $715.70 million, which is $174.37 million lower compared to the Adjusted Budget of $890.07 million.
Overall, the external effects of persistent high inflation, high gas prices, high interest rates, decreased consumer confidence, and well-publicized theft and vandalism at local businesses will continue to pose risks to City revenues. The biggest impact is felt as a consequence of high interest rates, which continue to negatively affect Real Estate Transfer Taxes by reducing demand and price of properties on the market as well as Sales Tax as it affects the cost of financing a car for prospective buyers and consequently affect the sales of automobiles. For these reasons, the Administration will continue to closely monitor economic conditions and the performance of all City funds.

Q3 REVENUE HIGHLIGHTS
Property Tax: The largest revenue source for the City is now estimated to end the year at $294.36 million, exceeding the adjusted budget of $294.17 million by $0.19 million or 0.1%. In comparison FY 2022-23 ended the year at $281.28 million. The projected year over year increase is driven by the overall increase in taxable values in the City of approximately 6.6% according to the most recent County Property Tax Rolls, which result in an increase in the amount of property tax assessments. The adjustment based on the increased property valuations is partially offset by projected revenue loss resulting from pending property assessment appeals.
The largest secured roll increase was reported on a developing vacant property owned by CVOW Parcel J Owner LLC at 37 8th Avenue with growth of $116.6 million in valuation. This is an 8-story residential building under development as part of the Brooklyn Development in the Brooklyn Basin of Downtown Oakland. The second largest increase in property value comes from an office building in Uptown Oakland owned by 300 F Ogawa Plaza LP at the same address on Frank Ogawa Plaza, which reported an increase in value of $94.1 million between FY 2022-23 and FY 2023-24 after this property was revalued after the current owner purchased the property in 2021. The third highest increase in property value comes from a vacant site developing into a mixed use site in downtown Oakland. Owned by 19 Bdwy Tower Development LLC, at 1920 Broadway, the added improvements resulted in an increase in property value of $62 million.
Overall, residential use values increased 7.9% for a total of $4.2 billion in value and represented 79% of all growth experienced in the City. The annual growth in this use type was $2 billion lower this year than last year. Commercial properties posted an increase in value of $599 million or a year over year increase of 5.2%. Industrial properties posted gains in property value of
9.6% or $302.3 million and was $80 million higher than last year.
Business License Tax (BT): The second largest revenue source is projected to end the year at $120.98 million, which is $4.27 million or
3.4% under the FY 2023-24 Adjusted Budget of
$125.25 million. However, this would represent an increase of $5.60 million compared to the FY 2022-23 year-end total of $115.38 million. BT actuals include payments made by businesses in the second year of operation, for which the BT for years one and two are both due in year two, it also includes late payments made by Businesses that had outstanding amounts owed from prior years, and payments captured through the City's assessments, collections, and lien processes.
Payments attributed to the 2024 BT year to date account for $95.12 million which represents
84.9% of the total Business Tax collected to date in FY 2023-24 of $112.08 million. This falls in line with the FY 2022-23 year-end actuals, in which $98.58 million or 85.4% out of the overall BT total collected of $115.38 million corresponded to the 2023 BT year. In years prior to the Measure T BT implementation, the ratio of YTD totals corresponding to that same year in which the Tax was paid was consistently lower. In FY 2019-20 the amount corresponding to the 2020 Jestin D. Johnson, City Administrator

tax year was $78.74 million out of $98.04 million collected, or 80.3 %, in FY 2020-21 the amount corresponding to the 2021 tax year was $79.54 million out of $104.11 million collected, or
76.4%, and in FY 2021-22 the amount corresponding to the 2022 tax year was $78.90 million out of $101.15 million collected, or 78.0%.
Real Estate Transfer Tax (RETT): The third largest revenue source for the City is projected to have the largest decrease in the GPF, by an estimated $57.19 million from the adjusted budget of $110.41 million, now projecting to end the year at $53.22 million The significant reduction of
51.8% is attributable to rising interest rates that impact the affordability factor and consequently the number of property sales subject to RETT. Through Q3, the number of properties sold through the first nine months dropped by 11.2%, or 303 less properties, compared to the number of properties sold during the same time period in the prior year. The amount decreased is amplified when considering that the gross sales fell by 24.8% when accounting for the sales prices.
Recent trends do not indicate that a rebound is to be expected for the remainder of the year. In previous years, 73% of the year-end totals for RETT had been collected through the third quarter of FY2021-22, and 72% through Q3 of FY 2022-23. The Federal Reserve is not expected to begin lowering the Federal Funds Rate until the summer months at the earliest.
Therefore, the fourth quarter is expected to perform similarly to the first three quarters of the year during which $38.54 million has been collected so far. The high budget dollar amount adopted in the FY 2023-25 Biennial Budget was assumed coming off FY 2021-22 during which RETT ended the year at $138.40 million. This was followed by a huge drop in FY 2022-23 which ended the year at $78.05 million. The decline has continued during the first three quarters of FY 2023-24, which has realized even lower figures than FY 2022-23 had through Q3. Table 2 Below summarizes the year over year variance in gross sales and volume, comparing the performance of RETT through Q3 of the current year to that of FY 2022-23.

Sales Tax: The fourth largest revenue source for the City is projected to come in below the FY 2023-24 adopted budget of $67.69 million by approximately $4.97 million, and is now estimated to end the year at $62.72 million. Detailed Sales Tax data is available through the Second Quarter (Q2) of FY 2023-24. Per data provided by the City's Sales Tax consultant HDL, Oakland’s receipts from July through December (Q2) were 6.4% below the Q2 period in 2022.
Through Q2, modest sales improvement occurred in the food delivery, catering, and fast casual segments, and as a result restaurants and hotels overall rose 1.0%. Autos-transportation’s also shows a year-over-year improvement of 1.5% resulting from new vehicle dealerships which had growth thanks to new openings over the past year. Categories with year over year decreases in sales tax are led percentage wise by fuel service stations. Expected reductions in petroleum prices provoked a 20.7% drop-off by fuel-service stations. Further analysis of taxpayers selling jet fuel products revealed lower transaction volumes as airlines looked to refuel at locations outside of the Bay Area. Cannabis has another downward outcome, more so than regional and statewide trends. This sectors’ decrease was the primary cause of the food-drugs group’s weaker returns of 17.8% lower compared to the same period in FY 2022-23. On average, the Sales tax categories dropped by 5.5% overall. Table 3 below compares the Sales Tax totals received by category through Q2 of FY 2022-23 and Q2 of FY 2023-24.

Utility Consumption Tax: This fifth largest revenue source for the City is projected to come in with a projected increase in the GPF. It is now estimated that it will end the year above the FY 2023-24 adopted budget of $61.90 million by approximately $0.95 million or 1.5%, at $62.85 million. Collections through Q3 in FY 2023-24 lag in comparison to the same period in FY 2022- 23 but the second half of the year is expected to outperform prior periods due to an approval from the California’s Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) of a 12.8% increase to consumer utility rates which became effective in the second half of this fiscal year.
Interfund transfers & Transfers From Fund Balance: The adjusted budget assumes $30.12 million in use of fund balance to balance budgeted expenditures and $55.24 million in use of Jestin D. Johnson, City Administrator

II. GENERAL PURPOSE FUND Q3 EXPENDITURES
GENERAL PURPOSE FUND EXPENDITURE HIGHLIGHTS
The GPF expenditures are forecasted to come in at $870.97 million, which is a decrease of $19.09 million, when compared to the Adjusted Budget of $890.07 million. The Adjusted Budget required a use of fund balance in the amount of $30.12 million to balance the expenditures as budgeted. This follows a trend in recent years, during which one-time funding was needed in the balancing of the FY2019-20, FY2020-21, FY2021-22 and FY2022-23 expenditures in the budget by programming CARES dollars ($36.99 million), ARPA dollars ($188 million), and use of VSSF ($14.65 million) for a total of $239.64 million, which would equal 27% of FY 2023-24 GPF budgeted expenditures. The budgeted personnel expenditures also assume a vacancy factor of
8.00%. Overall, the increase in the appropriations level compared to previous years merits further consideration as it reflects the current global inflationary trend affecting the economy.
Table 5 below reflects the GPF expenditures forecasted to come in at $870.97 million, which is $19.09 million or 2.1% over the adjusted budget of $890.07 million.

The Oakland Police Department (OPD) was allocated $24,075,587 in overtime for Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-24. Since July 1, 2023, OPD has consistently spent an average of $4,603,148 per month in overtime.
Based on Quarter 3 (Q3) payroll data, the Department is projected to exceed its overtime budget by approximately $31,162,194. However, the Department anticipates receiving $5,073,292 in reimbursable overtime funds, which will offset the projected overage to $25,918,002.
The Department’s primary objectives are to reduce violent crime and improve public safety.
Achieving this objective necessitates overtime by sworn personnel and increased spending in the Homicide Section, Special Operations Division (SOD), and Areas 1, 3, and 5.
Homicide Section: The Homicide Section plays a crucial role within OPD, serving as its primary investigative unit tasked with a range of responsibilities, including investigating homicides, unexplained deaths, cold cases, in-custody deaths, officer-involved shootings, and other Level 1 uses of force incidents. These investigations often involve complex and sensitive matters that demand meticulous attention and urgency.
Overtime in the Homicide Section is often essential due to the unpredictable nature of these investigations, which often require round-the-clock attention. Callout activations, such as homicides and Level 1 investigations, can occur at any moment, requiring investigators and assisting units to work beyond regular hours to gather evidence, interview witnesses, and follow leads for a thorough investigation. Additionally, collaboration with specialized units, outside agencies, forensic specialists, the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office, and other investigative partners often demands scheduling flexibility, further contributing to the need for overtime.
During Q3 (January to March 2024), the Homicide Section was exceptionally busy, responding to 20 homicides, investigating 223 unexplained deaths or suicides, and conducting 20 cold case reviews, resulting in four closures. Additionally, the Section investigated three Level 1 incidents, including an officer killed in the line of duty and an officer-involved shooting investigation, both requiring intensive, around-the-clock efforts to meet stringent time deadlines as per established protocols and procedures.

Special Operations Division: The Special Operations Division (SOD) plays a critical role in our law enforcement efforts, currently staffed with 11 sergeants, three lieutenants, and a Captain.
Significant administrative responsibilities, including preliminary investigations, division-level inquiries, use of force investigations, and risk management related tasks contribute to increased overtime expenditures.
SOD is responsible for supporting Area commanders during potential demonstrations, civil unrest, and unforeseen large-scale events. In Q3, SOD was actively involved in managing various unforeseen events, particularly due to the Palestinian and Israeli conflict.
The Air Unit within SOD is essential to the Department’s crime reduction strategies and operates nearly seven days a week. Despite having six members, one member is currently on long-term modified duty, unable to pilot. The limited number of trained pilots mean that qualified personnel must operate on overtime to meet the Department's demands, with their overtime expenses being covered by the "Restore" fund shared with Traffic. Additionally, the Crime Reduction Teams, now part of SOD, are instrumental in apprehending known violent felons.
Given the rise in criminal activities like robberies, car jackings, shootings, and commercial burglaries, these teams engage in targeted violence suppression operations based on Department intelligence, often requiring overtime expenditures for arrests, evidence processing, and reporting.
Furthermore, the Unhoused Unit has been actively involved in numerous large-scale encampment closures due to safety concerns for City employees. Overtime is frequently requested by Oakland Public Works (OPW) to provide sufficient police presence to safely complete these tasks, especially with the implementation of new City ordinances and deployment policies, along with California Assembly Bill (AB) 481.
While many overtime expenditures within SOD are unavoidable, the Division remains committed to diligently balancing labor costs with operational needs to minimize expenditures while achieving the Chief’s strategic goals.
Area 1: In Q3, Area 1 experienced a 33% decrease in shootings, dropping from 12 incidents in 2023 to eight in 2024, with a total of five homicides in 2024. To address this trend, violence suppression officers were deployed on overtime to hotspots such as Acorn, Ghost Town, and Campbell Village, focusing on proactive car stops and visible deterrence.
The Area 1 Violence Suppression Detail was discontinued on March 23, 2024, with anticipated savings expected to be reflected in the next quarter. Additionally, the overtime Chinatown Detail was temporarily understaffed for approximately three weeks from the end of March to April 2024 but was subsequently reinstated with overtime officers. Despite these efforts, this quarter has seen an increase in violent crime other than shootings, traffic congestion, illegal vendors, and nightclubs operating beyond their permits.
Previously, a strategy involving barricades in the Broadway and Telegraph areas successfully led to a reduction in reported violent crimes. However, a decision was made in October 2023, to discontinue the use of barricades, resulting in a resurgence of crime, traffic congestion, and illegal vendors in the area. Moreover, there has been a rise in Sideshow activity around 1900 Broadway, and incidents of violence at nightclubs to include Mr. Fabs Night Club (1770

Broadway), New Karibbean City (1408 Webster St), and Lux Pub and Club (1100 Franklin St).
Until a more permanent strategy is developed for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights, overtime officers will continue to maintain a presence in the downtown area.
Area 3: Overtime in Area 3 is primarily driven by various initiatives and deployments, including the deployment of Violence Suppression officers working overtime in the San Antonio/Saigon Area and operations targeting Human Trafficking along International Boulevard.
In Q3, Area 3 experienced an 80% increase in robberies and "blipping" style car burglaries, as indicated in the March 10th Weekly Crime Report. These incidents were widespread across the city. Analysis of crime statistics revealed that the "blipping" crew initiated their activities early in the morning. Consequently, a burglary operation was deployed concurrently, resulting in the arrest of two individuals. This intelligence was then leveraged to further investigations and suppressed larger organized criminal organization. As of April 28th, the robbery rate in Area 3 has decreased to 28%, as reported in the April 28th Weekly Crime Report.
The Violence Suppression unit, coded as the San Antonio Special Assignment, has maintained staffing levels with one sergeant and four to five officers, operating seven days a week. The majority of violence in Area 3 is associated with Human Trafficking activities. The stretch from the 500 to 2300 blocks of International Boulevard has earned a longstanding reputation as Oakland's "Track" or "Blade" for street prostitution, often leading to incidents of violence, including shootings, murders, and robberies. To address this issue, the Vice Unit conducts two to four operations monthly, focusing on rescuing juveniles and apprehending both buyers and exploiters. Five of the FBI Human Trafficking Task Force Officers, who work for OPD, are reimbursed by the FBI.
Area 5: In Q3, Area 5 faced significant challenges, leading the city in homicides (7) and recording 95 aggravated assaults. To counteract this trend, Area 5 consistently deployed violence suppression teams, primarily funded by the Area itself, to address rising crime rates.
These teams also provided valuable assistance to the Bureau of Field Operations 2. The effectiveness of the violence suppression units is evident in the reduction of assaults with a firearm by 4% year-to-date, and two homicides, a 71% reduction.
Area 5 has implemented five violence suppression overtime assignments, with each unit assigned to one of the five sectors. These teams are instructed to remain in their designated sector, maintaining a high visibility presence and conducting enforcement and security checks as required. The selection of these sectors was based on statistical data analysis, identifying areas with the highest concentration of violent crime and ShotSpotter activity. The sectors are reviewed weekly, allowing for adjustments to align with evolving crime trends. While Area 5 utilizes more violence suppression units than Area 4 or Area 6, the presence of these units enables Crime Reduction Team (CRT) East to allocate minimal time to Area 5, focusing instead on Area 4 and Area 6.
The Department remains committed to addressing violent crime while managing overtime expenditures and administrative burdens across different areas and units.

IV. RESERVES
On December 9, 2014, Council Ordinance No. 13279 amended the City’s Consolidated Fiscal Policies to include designated reserves for both the Vital Services Stabilization Fund and for the acceleration of long-term obligations, in addition to the mandated 7.5% GPF Emergency Reserve (refer to the City of Oakland Consolidated Fiscal Policy, Section I, Part C: Use of Excess Real Estate Transfer Tax). It is important to note that while these balances are designated each fiscal year, reserve appropriations adopted in subsequent fiscal years may include any prior year true-ups.
Emergency Reserve
The City’s GPF Emergency Reserve was calculated by multiplying 7.5% by the FY2022-23 Adopted Budget amount of $872.07 million and carried forward on to FY 2023- 24. The reserve is approximate to one month of FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget in the GPF. This reserve will be held in Fund 1011 as directed by Council in Resolution 88717 C.M.S. The reserve requirement, pursuant to the CFP , has been met.
However, the emergency reserve policy level of 7.5% is inadequate to sustain city services in an economic downturn, as evidenced by the events of the last 2 years. The recommended policy level is 16.7% or two months of operating expenditures. This recommended level is supported by best practices outlined by the Government Finance Officer's Association (GFOA).
Vital Services Stabilization Fund
The Vital Services Stabilization Fund (VSSF) was established in 2014 by the City Council after the Great Recession to serve as the City's "Rainy Day" fund. Per the Consolidated Fiscal Policy, 25% of excess RETT revenue is intended to go into the VSSF. The FY 2022-23 ending available balance of $10.27 million was assumed in its entirety in the FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget to balance expenditures as the City Council declared that the City is experiencing a severe financial event and state of extreme fiscal necessity. The target funding level per the City's Consolidated Fiscal Policy is $125.22 million, or 15% of the GPF revenues.
Table 11 below shows the estimated FY 2023-24 year-end reserve balances.

All other funds are summarized in Table 41.
Measure HH - Sugar Sweetened Beverage Distribution Tax (SSBT) Fund (1030)
Measure HH - SSBT Fund (1030) is a City of Oakland ballot initiative approved by voters on November 8, 2016, that established a general tax of one cent per fluid ounce on the sugar sweetened beverage products. The tax is imposed upon the first non-exempt distribution of sugar-sweetened beverage products in the City. While this revenue is not restricted by State statute, City Council has elected to restrict it by policy and separate it into its own fund because the primary purpose of the tax is to raise revenue to support programs designed to discourage sugar consumption and to reduce the growing burden of obesity and non-communicable diseases.
The measure formed a nine-member Community Advisory Board, appointed by the Mayor, and approved by City Council. The Board is responsible for:
1. Making recommendations to the City Council on the use of funding/programs that will reduce the health consequences of consuming sugar-sweetened beverages (final allocations are still determined by the City Council).
2. Publishing an annual report regarding the implementation of the Board's recommendations and the impact on the use of these funds.

Measures BB & F Funds (2215, 2217, 2218, 2219, 2220)
Measure BB and F Funds are administered by the Alameda County Transportation Commission (Alameda CTC), which manages the following local fund sources:
1. Measure BB, passed by voters in November 2014, authorized the collection of the initial half-cent transportation sales tax by the Board of Equalization.

Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District (LLAD) Fund (2310)
The Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District (LLAD) Fund (2310) revenue is generated through a direct benefit assessment, or special assessment and is restricted by statute to be used for street lighting, landscaping, and public parks and recreation facility maintenance, and multi-use fields.
Revenues - The FY 2023-24 year-end revenues project to come in at $19.45 million, which is $0.17 million below the FY 2023-24 Adjusted Budget of $19.62 million, The actual Local tax is projected to come in at the Adjusted Budget amount of $19.08 million. the overall discrepancy is mainly due to FY 2023-23 carryforwards in the amount of $0.26 million that will be supported with the use of the fund balance. There is an ongoing deficit in the District which can no longer be sustained without significant reductions in service levels. In order to address the difference between revenues and expenditures, the City has reallocated costs to align District-eligible costs to the revenue source paying the landscape and park costs. As an example, some costs are paid from non-assessment revenues, like Gas Tax Funds and the Measure Q Parks Fund, to maintain service levels and fund the historical District shortfall associated with landscape and park costs.

False Alarm Reduction Program Fund (2411)
The False Alarm Reduction Program was implemented by OPD in November 2003 by Ordinance No. 13015 C.M.S., and amended in 2010, to address the large number of false alarms that OPD was responding to each year. The revenue generated by these fees is to offset a portion of the expense that OPD incurs as a result of false alarm response. Fees also assist in encouraging residents and businesses to properly use and maintain their alarm systems, thus reducing false alarms.
Revenues - The FY 2023-24 year-end revenues in the False Alarm reduction Program Fund project to come in at $1.07 million, which is $0.38 million lower compared to the FY 2023-24 Adjusted Budget of $1.44 million, inclusive of the $0.06 million in use of Fund Balance assumed to support FY 2022-23 carryforwards. Through Q3 only $0.40 million or 27.7% of the Adjusted Budget had been collected but it is typical to book some of the revenues for this fund at year end. Over the last three Fiscal Years, on average, the final month of the Fiscal Year has averaged approximately $0.33 million in service charges revenues booked.

Fund Balance - The large fund balance, $27.76 million at the end of FY 2022-23, has accumulated over the life of the fund due to revenues exceeding the budget as well as longstanding underspending or delays in expenditures attributed to a high number of vacancies within the Planning and Building Department. This fund is required to keep a minimum 7.5% reserve of annual budgeted revenues for its balance, which would be $5.48 million in FY 2023-
24. FY 2023-24 revenue projects to end the year at $52.98 million. Expenditures project to end the year at $109.92 million. As a result, the estimated available fund balance in the Development Service Fund (2415) projects to decrease from $122.38 million to $65.44 million in FY 2023-24.

Transient Occupancy Tax (Measure C) Fund (2419)
The Transient Occupancy Tax (Hotel Tax) Fund (2419) is a City of Oakland initiative approved by voters in July 2009 that imposed a 3% special transient occupancy tax on the privilege of renting a hotel room in the City. The revenue generated by this special tax is allocated as follows: 50% to the Oakland Convention and Visitor’s Bureau for its expenses and promotion of tourism activities, and 12.5% each to the Oakland Zoo, the Oakland Museum of California, the Chabot Space and Science Center and the City’s Cultural Arts Programs and Festivals.
Revenues - The FY 2023-24 year-end revenues project to come in at $5.45 million, which is $1.23 million or 18.4% under the Adjusted Budget of $6.68 million. Declining volume in travel, which correlates to lower occupancy rates, has improved from the Pandemic era lows but is still not at the pre-pandemic levels.
