ATTACHMENT A
Fund Department(s) Description
FY 2023-24
Increase /
(Decrease)
FY 2024-25
Increase /
(Decrease)
General Fund Non-Departmental
Represents reductions in Sales and Transaction and Use
Taxes (TUT) primarily due to corrected allocations of
Santa Monica’s share of the Countywide use-tax pools,
the continued impact from the consumer shift from brickand-mortar purchases toward online sales, and a shift in consumer spending away from tangible goods and
towards services that are not subject to sales tax.
$ (677,829) $ (623,744)
General Fund Non-Departmental
Represents a reduction in Transient Occupancy Tax
(TOT) primarily due to the delayed reopening of the
Regent Hotel and the impact of the hotel worker strikes.

FY 2024-25 increase reflects greater than projected TOT revenues from the delayed closure of the Fairmont
Miramar for renovation and gradual recovery in the
tourism sector.
$ (201,105) $ 4,209,734
General Fund Non-Departmental
Represents a reduction in Parking Facility Tax reflecting changing behavior patterns of parkers, including the
prevalence of telecommuting and hybrid work schedules
and use of alternative modes of transportation by visitors to Santa Monica.
$ (45,000) $ (110,000)
General Fund Non-Departmental
Represents an increase in Property Taxes to align with
Proposition 13's CPI adjustment and robust revenues
derived from the former redevelopment project areas.
$ 1,489,546 $ 1,198,764
General Fund Non-Departmental
Increased Business License Tax revenue represents
greater than projected gross receipts reported by
businesses in FY 2023-24. This trend is anticipated to
continue throughout the forecast. Additionally, the
revenue increase is also attributed to the focused
compliance efforts by the Business License Inspector, a position that was added in FY 2022-23.
$ 3,380,500 $ 2,649,200
General Fund Transportation
Represents changing behavior of parkers, including the
increased use of free 90 minute parking in the structures, prevalence of telecommuting and hybrid work schedules
and use of alternative modes of transportation by visitors to Santa Monica.
$ (195,000) $ (70,000)
General Fund Non-Departmental
Decrease is primarily due to delay in the first
supplemental payment of $2.0 million from the Miramar
Project. Per the terms of the Developer Agreement, the
first supplemental payment was to be issued with filing of the plan check application for the project’s first building permit. Due to project delays, the initial payment is now projected to be received in FY 2024-25 with the additional supplemental payments projected for future years.
