3 <br /> <br /> <br /> Analysis <br />Amounts of Transaction and Use Tax revenue generated by Measure HH <br /> <br />The adopted Budget approved on June 1, 2015 anticipates $10.3 million Measure HH <br />revenue for FY 2015-16. The City is allocated its Measure HH sales tax starting April 1, <br />2015 but did not budget a full year of receipts until FY 2015-16. The first receipts are <br />received in the fall 2015. <br /> <br />Use of the tax revenue and the impact on the City operating budget including a <br />statement on the impact of the revenue in reducing the amount of cuts resulting <br />from addressing the budget shortfall <br /> <br />The Measure HH revenue is available for any legal expenditure by the City. In the <br />context of public safety, the annual revenue represents about 33% of the police <br />department’s FY 2015-16 budget, which is $30.8 million, and 47% of the fire department <br />budget, which is $22.1 million. Without Measure HH, the sworn police officers totaling <br />93 could be cut by as much as 31 positions (if $10.3 million was removed from the <br />police department budget). Similarly, the fire department 63 firefighters could be down <br />47 positions (if all $10.3 million was eliminated from its budget). The ballot also <br />indicated that Measure HH would sustain 9-1-1 emergency response times, <br />neighborhood police patrols, investigation and gang suppression officers, library <br />hours/programs, street and pothole repairs, youth after-school and senior programs, <br />and other general City services. The City preserved funding for these programs and <br />projects due to Measure HH. <br /> <br /> <br />Statement of expenditures funded by Measure HH <br /> <br />
