1 TO: FROM: SUBJECT: OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER Honorable Mayor and City Council Alan Tandy, City Manager AT General Information April 14, 2017 Notable Items Preliminary information from the League of California Cities estimates that Bakersfield will receive $2.6 million from the recently enacted State transportation funding bill in Fiscal Year 2017/2018 and $6.9 million in 2018/2019. The difference is due to the fact that collection of the new revenues does not begin until November of 2017 and the collection is for the entire FY 2018/2019. The money will be used for specifically identified road projects. However, this information is preliminary. Legislative and other rules and policies will need to be established before final numbers become available. Given the circumstances, it is likely that any appropriation of funds would become available midyear in FY 2017/2018. Attached is a copy of the Sales Tax Quarterly Summary Report by Industry, summarizing and comparing the top 10 industry categories in the 4 th quarter results of 2016 to the 4 th quarter results of The general categories of used car dealers, heavy industrial equipment, service stations, grocery stores, family apparel stores and new car dealers display above average results. The City saw a small increase of 1.07%. As we mentioned previously, two of the biggest positives are no additional budget cuts are necessary at this time and the slight increase will likely cover any unexpected special election costs for Ward 5. Please see the attachment for additional information. Public Works Department staff is in the process of mailing Proposition 218 notices to all commercial sewer customers to make them aware of proposed sewer surcharge increases as outlined in the Wastewater Revenue Program Update, adopted by Council in June Not all commercial customers will see an increase, as surcharges are based on each user s water consumption. Customers can determine if they have a
