The City was allocated its Measure HH sales tax starting April 1, 2015 but did not budget a full year of receipts until FY 2015-16. The first receipts were received in the fall 2015. Use of the tax revenue and the impact on the City operating budget including a statement on the impact of the revenue in reducing the amount of cuts resulting from addressing the budget shortfall The Measure HH revenue is available for any legal expenditure by the City. In the context of public safety, the annual revenue represents about 33% of the police department's FY 2016-17 budget, which is $32.7 million, and 44% of the fire department budget, which is $24.4 million. Without Measure HH in FY 2016-17, the sworn police officers totaling 93 could be cut by as much as 29 positions (if $10.3 million was removed from the police department budget). Similarly, the fire department 63 firefighters could be down 27 positions (if all $10.3 million was eliminated from its budget). The ballot also indicated that Measure HH would sustain 9-1-1 emergency response times, neighborhood police patrols, investigation and gang suppression officers, library hours/programs, street and pothole repairs, youth after-school and senior programs, and other general City services. The City preserved funding for these programs and projects due to Measure HH. 3
