Revenues: <br />• Property tax shows a decrease of $4.7 million compared to the 2011-12 fiscal year mainly due to the <br />$5.3 million loss in Incremental Property Tax from the dissolution of the San Leandro <br />Redevelopment Agency in January 2012. As discussed in the General fund section, property tax <br />increased by $1.8 million (11.6%) from fiscal year 2011-12. <br />• Sales tax revenue continues to increase. Compared to the 2011-12 fiscal year, sales tax grew by $2.2 <br />million (9%) which can be attributed to the continued growth of consumer confidence in the city. <br />Largest sales tax increases came from new and used vehicles and the parts to repair automobiles. <br />However, manufacturing, sales of construction equipment, agricultural equipment and diesel truck <br />engines were contributors as well. <br />• The overall decrease of $24.8 million (18.5%) in 2012-13 is largely due to the prior fiscal year extra- <br />ordinary items accounted for the former Redevelopment Agency dissolution in the amount of $21 <br />million. <br />• Charges for services in Governmental activities are primarily fees for recreation, building, fire, <br />planning and engineering. The overall increase of $1.5 million is mainly due to the increase in <br />building permits for community improvements which includes the new permit for Preferred Freezer <br />with 247,462 square feet freezer storage to be used as a cold storage food warehouse. <br />• Operating grants, capital grants and contributions include Federal and State grants and other <br />governments and private contributions, including impact fees. Capital grants and contributions were <br />lower by $4.2 million in 2012-13 for engineering projects. <br />Ii <br />
