Measure A:

Measure A was a general transaction and use (sales) tax ballot initiative introduced by the City of Stockton and passed by 51.85% voter approval. The three-quarter (3/4) cent tax increase became effective on April 1, 2014. A citizen’s oversight committee was established to review the use of tax proceeds.

The Ordinance states that the proceeds of the taxes imposed by this ordinance may be used for any lawful purpose of the City, as authorized by ordinance, resolution, or action of the City Council.

Measure B:

Measure A was accompanied by Measure B, a non-binding
advisory measure to communicate the priorities and opinion of the voters. The voter-approved Measure B advises that 65% of the new revenues should be cumulatively prioritized for law enforcement and crime prevention services over 10 years, such as those described in the City’s Marshall Plan on Crime. This 65% portion funds three initiatives: 120 approved sworn positions, an expanded Office of Violence Prevention, and Neighborhood Betterment Teams. The remaining 35% is advised to prioritize funding the City’s efforts to end the bankruptcy and improve services for residents, businesses, and property owners.

The Measures A and B Implementation Plan approved by Council on February 25, 2014 introduced an expenditure plan for law enforcement and crime prevention authorizing 163 new staff positions including 120 police sworn, 31 Police civilian, 7 Office of Violence Prevention, and 5 administrative positions to be phased in over four fiscal years.

Effects of Measure A on Crime
In 2013, the Mashall Plan was initiated and the OVP was formed in response to one of the City’s worse years of violent crime. Since that year, violent crime in Stockton has not returned to pre-2013 levels. Homicides in Stockton have significantly decreased over the past decade, with 2019 seeing a 52% reduction compared to 2012, thanks to initiatives like Measure A, which supports the Police Department, violence prevention, and bankruptcy recovery. While these efforts have improved community safety, ongoing investment is essential to ensure Stockton's continued progress toward a safer and thriving city.

Independent Audit and Attestation
The Ordinance requires that the proceeds of the tax imposed, as well as the expenditure thereof, shall be audited by an independent accounting firm. The City submits to a months-long audit of all General Fund Revenues and Expenditures according to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles using Generally Accepted Auditing Standards, performed by a team of independent Certified Public Accountants as part of its annual processes. This audit satisfies the requirements of the Ordinance and the ballot measure. At the Committee’s recommendation and the Council’s direction, a second auditing firm has been engaged to attest to the City’s compliance with the Agreed Upon Procedures (AUP) concerning Measure A, performed to the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ (AICPA) attestation standards.

The revenues collected under Measure A and the expenditures these revenues contributed toward are accounted for as an item in the audited financial statements found in the Annual Financial Report under “Sales – Levied by City” and “Expenditures, Current” on page 24 of the FY 2018-19 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR). In addition, specific audited Measure A and B financial statements are found on page 150 of the ACFR.

The COVID-19 pandemic brought about significant changes in daily life, leading to unforeseen statistical outcomes, including increased domestic violence. While the pandemic reduced staffing, essential city employees, such as Police and OVP, continued to serve and protect the community.

Despite pandemic-related hiring challenges, the city's recruitment efforts continued. Furthermore, OVP engaged in community outreach throughout the pandemic, responding to acts of violence and providing essential household supplies, such as Personal Protective Equipment (Such as masks and hand sanitizer), COVID tests, masks, gloves, hand sanitizer, and necessities like toilet paper and food.

In 2013, the Mashall Plan was initiated and the OVP was formed in response to one of the City’s worse years of violent crime. Since that year, violent crime in Stockton has not returned to pre-2013 levels.

Police Equipment and Infrastructure
Additionally, Measure A funds were used during the year to improve facilities and equipment for Police Officers. As of June 2021, a total of 342 portable and 70 mobile radios have been put into service; the Police Department office space has been renovated to make more room for operations; the police records and dispatch systems have been upgraded; and an additional upgrade had been programmed to link the police records and dispatch systems to the Fire Department’s system.

Neighborhood Betterment Teams
During the Fiscal Year, Neighborhood Betterment Teams completed three missions, resulting in 1,266 inspections, 346 enforcement actions, 4 property clean-ups or abatements, 5,730 square feet of graffiti removal and 11 Abandoned Vehicle Abatement (AVA) Citations.

Office Of Violence Prevention
A critical component of the Marshall Plan, the Office of Violence Prevention (OVP), manages several initiatives to prevent and reduce violent crime in the City. In Fiscal Year 2020-21, the OVP had 14 authorized positions, with two (2) vacancies. Seven of these positions are funded through Measure A.

The OVP works strategically and directly with high-risk community members to prevent violence before it occurs.

During 2021, the OVP highlighted the following services that were provided to the community:
• 75 Employment Placements
• 43 Social Services
• 36 Educational Advancements
• 53 Housing Assists
• 33 ID & DMV Issues
• 10 Family Relocations

Mission Critical Project Expenditures
At June 30, 2021, 3 Mission Critical Projects remain active, including the Police Communications System Upgrade, the IT- Enterprise Resource Planning System, and the Parks Irrigation Controller Upgrade. Since the start of Measure A, 20 projects were partially or fully funded with Measure A funds. There were no expenses related to mission critical projects in the General Fund during FY 2020-21.

As of June 30, 2021, the funds used from Measure A revenues for the City's Mission Critical Projects have been exhausted. 456

Effects of Measure A on Crime
In 2013, the Mashall Plan was initiated and the OVP was formed in response to one of the City’s worse years of violent crime. Since that year, violent crime in Stockton has not returned to pre-2013 levels. Homicides in Stockton have significantly decreased over the past decade, with 2021 seeing a 45% reduction compared to 2012, thanks to initiatives like Measure A, which supports the Police Department, violence prevention, and bankruptcy recovery. While these efforts have improved community safety, ongoing investment is essential to ensure Stockton's continued progress toward a safer and thriving city. Calendar year 2020 was an outlier year due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The revenues collected under Measure A and the expenditures these revenues contributed toward are fully accounted for as an item in the audited financial statements found in the Annual Financial Report under “Sales – Levied by City” and “Expenditures, Current” on page 23 of the FY 2020-21 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR). In addition, specific audited Measure A and B financial statements are found on page 143 of the ACFR.
