MINUTES Page 13 <br />City of San Leandro City Council, San Leandro Hillside Geologic Hazard Abatement District, and San Leandro <br />Redevelopment Agency Joint Meeting~Tuly 21, 2008 <br />Councilmember Souza asked for clarification regarding when the measures could be <br />considered for approval Mr. Jermanis replied that revenue measures can only be <br />considered when Councilmembers are standing for election. If not considered this <br />November, the next opportunity would be in June 2010. Ms. Williams noted that, if the <br />Council declared a fiscal emergency, it could hold a special election. <br />Councilmember Grant commented that the Council needs to have a discussion on the <br />Police Services Parcel Tax, and requested a presentation by the staff. <br />Mr. Jermanis provided background on the Police Services Parcel Tax measure which, <br />unlike the other two measures, would be a new source of revenue for the City. Mr. <br />Jermanis commented on the projected budget deficit for the upcoming year; the <br />preference of the ad hoc committee not to place a competing revenue measure on the <br />same ballot with one from the San Leandro School District; and the Police <br />Department's development of a strategic plan to meet the long-term needs of the <br />community, which will be presented at a future work session. He noted the concerns <br />expressed by some members of the Council of placing three revenue measures on the <br />ballot, and added that staff's recommended priorities would be those measures that <br />preserve existing revenue. <br />Councilmember Prola expressed concern that the groundwork has not been done to <br />ensure success of the parcel tax; however, he commented that he did not want to wait <br />two years to put it on the ballot. <br />Mayor Santos commented on the many other revenue measures on the November ballot, <br />and that it may be problematic if the City added three more. <br />Councilmember Souza asked if the Ad Hoc Committee had discussed placing only the <br />Police Services Parcel Tax measure on the ballot, since the other two are existing <br />revenue sources. <br />Councilmember Grant recalled that the Ad Hoc Committee had not had that discussion. <br />The Committee had viewed the 9-1-1 Fee as a way to preserve an existing revenue <br />source, and the UUT as a way to tap into a new revenue source without an initial <br />increase. She commented on the need to proceed with the parcel tax measure, due to the <br />anticipated budget deficits in the coming years, and noted that the Council would have <br />to do some work to get people behind the measures. Councilmember Grant stated that <br />she is in favor of going forward with all three measures. <br />A motion was made by Councilmember Grant, seconded by Councilmember Prola, to <br />direct staff to prepare ballot language for the 9-1-1 Fee, Utility Users Tax, and Police <br />Services Parcel Tax. <br />A substitute motion was made by Councilmember Starosciak, seconded by Vice Mayor <br />Stephens, to direct staff to prepare ballot language for the 9-1-1 Fee and Utility Users <br />Tax. <br />
