The <br />City will need to enter into a local sales tax agreement with the California Department of Tax and <br />Fee Administration to collect and remit the local tax back to the City. This process simplifies <br />collection and reporting to business operators that collect and remit sales tax to the State. In order <br />to complete the agreement, the City Council must also adopt Resolutions that will be presented at a <br />future Council Meeting prior to February 1, 2019. <br />Although the tax will become effective April 1St, we expect there will be a transition period for <br />collection of the tax. Therefore, the impact on FY 18-19 revenue is expected to be relatively <br />insignificant. Moving forward, starting with Fiscal Year 2019/20, the full estimated revenue from the <br />19E-1 <br />
