BUDGET MESSAGECITY OF SAN DIMAS BUDGET MESSAGE 2003-04 GENERAL FUND REVENUE As in the past, the State's handling of its deficit has put a cloud of uncertainty over future subventions to cities. The Motor Vehicle in Lieu Tax or other local revenue sources are under threat to be i:aken by the State. The State has been successful in reducing and eliminating subventions to cities in the past and the cities have suffered loss of revenue needed to provide services to the citizens. The City is keenly aware of the uncertainty surrounding the effects on the City of any State budget action. With that in mind the City's priority is to present a well balanced budget, maintain a high quality of services to the community and set aside a prudent amount of reserves. General Fund revenues for 2003-04 are projected to be $13,656,833 an approximately 3.79% increase over last year's projected revenue. The revenue projections include modest increases in sales tax, property tax, franchise tax, transient occupancy tax, and motor vehicle fees. In FY 2002-03 revenue for building permits and plan checks continued to be higher than projected due to continued building activity. In FY 2003-04 revenues are projected to return to historic levels. The downward trend in investment earnings continued this year, consequently the interest revenue is estimated lower than prior years. After careful consideration the City implemented increases to a number of service related fees. Recreation, facility use, engineering and planning fees were adjusted effective July 1, 2003. Engineering, planning and zoning fees are designed to recover the costs of the specific service provided by the City. By State statute the fees cannot exceed the actual cost of providing the service the fee is designed to cover. The last adjustment to these fees was in 1994. The City determined 1:hat the new fees are still below the actual cost of providing the service. Business. License fees were also adjusted effective July 1, 2003. The prior Business License fees were adopted by Ordinance in 1991. The Ordinance allows for an annual increase in the amount of tl-ie annual Consumer Price Index beginning in 1994. Business License fees had not been increased since 1994. The City adopted the new Business License fees which increased by a 3% CPI. GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURES As was mentioned in the revenue discussion, the City is keenly aware that the State legislature, in attempting to solve the State budget crisis may take actions that may have a detrimental impact on City revenues. In anticipation of a potential loss in revenue, the City in mid FY 02 - 03 placed a number of projects on hold. A number of those projects have been rebudgeted for this year. However, a number of projects, even though budgeted will remain on a hold list until the full impact of the State budget is clear. General Fund expenditures for 2003-04 are projected to be $13,156,340 approximately 4.16% more than last year's projected expenditures.
