TAKEAWAYS:
TOTs remains resilient following a
decline in fiscal year 2024-25.
Sales and Use Tax is grew modestly
and may grow close to 0-1% in fiscal
year 2025-26.
Property Taxes remain strong, as
increased valuations have offset the
impact of lower median prices.
Revenue from Cannabis taxes are
decreasing due to business license
transfers and late payments.
Personnel costs were lower in the first
quarter due to vacant positions, but are
likely to end the year higher as compared
to the previous year.

to end the year at $6.6m.
7 LONG TERM FORECAST:
• Unassigned or discretionary balance expected to continue downward • Rainy day reserves expected to remain fully funded in FY 2025-26 with continued challenges ahead amid rising personnel and pension costs • Development projects are likely to have an overall net positive fiscal impact on City finances in the years to come
Economic uncertainty remains as inflation shows signs of reacceleration, complicating the Federal Reserve’s efforts to support growth and increasing recession risk.
Sales and use tax growth remains modest and uneven,
with continued volatility in the autos and transportation sector.
Construction and capital project costs remain elevated, with bids exceeding historical norms.
Pension costs and PERS unfunded liabilities continue to increase, constraining long-term fiscal flexibility.
Geopolitical unrest.
