Property Tax 8,864,000 Increases the FY 2022/23 Property Tax revenue estimate by $8,864,000 (from $75,261,000 to
$84,125,000) based on the latest estimates from
the County of Santa Clara. Of this amount,
$1,650,000 is recommended to be set aside in a
Property Tax Excess Education Revenue
Augmentation Fund (ERAF) Reserve. This amount
accounts for 30% of the projected excess ERAF
revenue the City will receive in FY 2022/23 that is at
risk. The California School Boards Association has
filed a lawsuit against the Controller of the State of
California regarding the disbursement of the ERAF
funds. Given this lawsuit, the County of Santa Clara
has estimated that approximately 30% of the
excess ERAF distribution is at risk (five affirmative
Council votes required to appropriate additional
revenue).

Revenue Augmentation Fund
Property Tax Contingency

6, 2022 meeting, $1,692,000 of the Education
Revenue Augmentation Fund (ERAF) Property Tax
revenue received in FY 2021/22 was set aside due
to a legal challenge from the California School
Boards Association regarding the distribution of
these funds. This action reallocates this funding
from the General Fund Non-Departmental budget to
a new Property Tax Excess ERAF Reserve
(majority affirmative Council votes required).

Property Tax Excess ERAF
Reserve
3,342,000 Establishes a Property Tax Excess ERAF Reserve in the amount of $3,342,000 to set aside the funds
that are potentially at risk due to the legal challenge from the California School Boards Association on
the distribution of these funds as discussed above.

This includes $1,692,000 from FY 2021/22 and
$1,650,000 from FY 2022/23 (five affirmative
Council votes required to appropriate additional
revenue).
