Measure X Oversight Committee Recommendations for FY22-23 <br />Presented to City Council May 12, 2022 <br /> <br />1. Favor one-time spending from Measure X revenue. <br />a. Remember, Measure X is temporary. <br />b. Focusing in on one time spending will reduce reliance upon Measure X revenue for future <br />minimum/expected service levels. <br /> <br />2. Consider the following pilot programs: <br />a. Community based professionals/specialists vs. sworn Police for non-violent response such as <br />substance abuse, mental health crisis and small neighborhood disputes in order to control costs <br />and improve results; and/or <br />b. Seed economic development such as community cooperatives to provide future revenue growth <br />and stimulate the local economy. <br /> <br />3. Explore establishing a Measure X Sunset Stabilization Fund <br />a. Revenue generated by Measure X has exceeded expectations that were utilized when approved <br />by the voters, <br />b. Despite efforts to focus on one time spending, the sunset period of Measure X will be hard felt <br />by our city and its residents through various spending reductions, <br />c. As such, we recommend setting aside a large portion of the incremental excess of Measure X <br />revenue generated each year into a stabilization fund to be utilized for during the sunset period <br />for use to maintain effective 9-1-1 response; retaining firefighters and police officers; addressing <br />homelessness; fixing streets; maintaining parks, youth and senior services, and unrestricted <br />general revenue purposes. <br />a. This would be similar to the Pension Stabilization Fund as discussed by council. <br /> <br />4. Prepare a long-term plan to prepare for the Measure X rate reduction. <br />a. Focus on the temporary nature of Measure X and prepare for the phase-out of such revenue on <br />service levels. <br />b. The plan should identify areas where Measure X is supporting recurring spending instead of one- <br />time use of revenue. <br />c. Have the Finance Department identify alternative revenue sources for any annual on-going <br />expenditures being funded by Measure X revenue or provide expenditure reduction plans to <br />match revenues post-sunset of Measure X. <br /> <br />5. Shift Measure X revenue to fixing streets. <br />a. This is one of the most visual items for the public. <br />b. This is one of the areas that has not been funded historically with Measure X. <br />c. This is one time use of funds. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
