• Sales Tax -this revenue is responsive to the ups and downs of the economy and not <br />surprisingly is falling short of projections. More specifically, San Leandro is <br />experiencing declines in the major economic categories of Transportation, Construction, <br />Business to Business, Food Products and Retail Sales. Based on collections through the <br />quarter and estimates by the City's Sales Tax consultants, staff is reducing this revenue <br />from $19.5 million to $18.3 million, an additional revenue shortfall of approximately <br />$1.2 million. <br />• Utility User Tax - this revenue includes Electricity & Gas, Cable and <br />Telecommunications. The City is experiencing a decline in revenue in the Electricity & <br />Gas account due to diminishing volumes experienced specifically by PG&E. These <br />declining volumes may be attributed to' the overall economic stress communities are <br />experiencing throughout Northern California. Therefore, staff is reducing this revenue <br />from $10.5 million to $10.1 million which is commensurate with the actual revenues <br />experienced in 2008-09, thereby producing a shortfall of $400,000. <br />Together the reductions noted above indicate an additional revenue shortfall for the General <br />Fund of approximately $2.0 million. The July 2009 estimated shortfall of $1.055 million plus <br />the current estimated short fall of $2.0 million equals a $3.055 million shortfall from the adopted <br />budget. <br />Mid-Year Budget Review for 2009-10 <br />Staff plans to present to the Finance Committee amid-year budget review in January/February of <br />2010. The mid-year budget review will look at both revenues and projected expenditures for the <br />fiscal year, including the revenue revisions discussed above. <br />The 2009-10 adopted budget indicates a deficit of approximately $2.9 million. If only the <br />revenue revisions noted above were realized, then the budgeted deficit would increase to about <br />$5.9 million. Fortunately, the City anticipates expenditure savings in 2009-10 which will help <br />mitigate this potential revenue shortfall. <br />For example, the hiring freeze implemented last year and continuing this year will produce cost <br />savings for 2009-10. In addition, the City's Golden Handshake program was completed in <br />October of this year and will generate additional cost savings for the fiscal year. This expenditure <br />information will be incorporated into the mid-year review and will provide the Finance <br />Committee with an updated projected net deficit for 2009-10. <br />Staff will continue to monitor all revenue sources in the upcoming months, particularly for the <br />General Fund, and assess any impact both to the current year and the upcoming budget year, <br />2010-11. <br />Please let me know if you have any questions. <br />
