The Long-Range Financial Plan With and Without Measure A The Long-Range Financial Plan (L-RFP) projects the City’s financial state over the next twenty years. Measure A tax revenues contributed an average of $36 million per year to the General Fund since 2014. These revenues and the use of the funds are part of the financial projections in the L-RFP. The chart below shows the projected ending General Fund balance with Measure A revenues continuing to the end of the model.
As can be seen in the graph below, without Measure A revenues the City would quickly start operating at a deficit, consuming General Fund reserves by FY 2027-28, and quickly returning the City to a state of insolvency. Extensive cuts to vital City Services would become necessary for the City to remain solvent.
