CITY OF SANTA ANA NOTES TO SCHEDULE OF MEASURE X REVENUES AND USES/EXPENDITURES YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2022 NOTE 1 REVENUES AND USES/EXPENDITURES Measure X revenues consist of the 1.5 cent transactions and use (i.e., sales) tax approved by the voters of Santa Ana on November 6, 2018 and became effective April 1, 2019. Total revenue collected in fiscal year 2021-22 was $86,003,001. Measure X is a general-purpose tax, which means the revenues received from the tax go into the City's General Fund to maintain or enhance any lawful City program, improvement, or service such as maintain effective 9-1-1 response; retaining firefighters and police officers; addressing homelessness; fixing streets; maintaining parks; and unrestricted general revenue purposes. To determine Measure X expenditures, the City performs an analysis comparing expenditures between the current year and the base year. The base year has been identified as fiscal year 2018-19, representing the year of Measure X's passage. When completing the analysis, the City determines; (1) the amount of the increase of expenditures when compared to the base year, (2) significant contractual increases, and (3) increase in expenditures between cost centers or programs. The accompanying Schedule of Measure X Revenues and Uses/Expenditures presents the increase in expenditure by ballot category.
