<br />Use of the tax revenue and the impact on the City operating budget <br />including a statement on the impact of the revenue in reducing the amount <br />of cuts resulting 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 30% of the police <br />department’s FY 2017-18 budget, which is $37.7 million, and 47% of the fire <br />department budget, which is $23.9 million. Without Measure HH in FY 2017-18, <br />the sworn police officers totaling 93 could be cut by as much as 28 positions (if <br />$11.2 million was removed from the police department budget). Similarly, the fire <br />department 63 firefighters could be down 30 positions (if all $11.2 million was <br />eliminated from its budget). The ballot also indicated that Measure HH would <br />sustain 9-1-1 emergency response times, neighborhood police patrols, <br />investigation and gang suppression officers, library hours/programs, street and <br />pothole repairs, youth after-school and senior programs, and other general City <br />services. The City preserved funding for these programs and projects due to <br />Measure HH. <br /> <br />Statement of expenditures funded by Measure HH <br /> <br />132
