LI Meeting Date: May 13, 2003 CITY COUNCILAGENDA REPORT l�r�kPOSa�� reS°+ TO: Honorable Mayor and Memberl of the City Council VIA: Linda C. Lowry, City Managerj��u TITLE: Consider Approval of Resolution No. 2003 -XX Opposing AB 1221 (Steinberg and Campbell), the Balanced Communities Act RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council approve Resolution 2003 -XX opposing AB 1221, the California Balanced Communities Act of 2003. ANALYSIS: AB 1221 enacts the California Balanced Communities Act of 2003, which would reduce city and county sales and use tax revenue and use property tax revenue from counties' Educational Revenue Augmentation Funds (ERAF) to backfill the sales and use tax revenue lost by cities and counties. The City is concerned with the following provisions of the proposed legislation: ■ This bill would take locally generated revenues (sales tax) that are currently distributed to cities and redirect that revenue to the State and backfill that lost revenue with property tax without constitutional protection guaranteeing property tax revenue would continue to be distributed to cities in the future. ■ The proposed legislation sets the property tax backfill amount based on 2003-04 sales tax revenue level. There is no language in the bill to account for future increases in sales tax revenue. In other words, the City would lose a portion of all future increases in sales tax revenue to the State. For example, If Diamond Bar receives $3 million in sales tax effective January 2004, the sales tax revenue would be reduced to $1.5 million and the lost sales tax revenue would (theoretically) be replaced by backfill from property tax revenue via the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund. Once the initial shift is done, let's hypothetically say the property tax revenue grows from $2 million to $3.5 million. In order to make up the $1.5 million from the taken sales tax revenue, the percentage of property tax revenue received would grow from 5.3% to 8%. Theoretically, going forward, Diamond Bar would now receive .5% sales tax revenue and 8% property tax (2.7% back filled by ERAF). ■ Sales tax revenue represents a major source of income which Diamond Bar has been able to rely upon to provide many of its services. Changing this funding will be unhealthy for local governments and places delivery of public services and our municipal fiscal integrity at great risk. If enacted, this legislation would transfer one of the City's primary sources of revenue to the State. Cities would have to rely on the State to appropriate property tax revenue to cities to offset the lost sales tax revenue. When the State again overspends and must balance its own budget, there is no guarantee that the State will continue to provide this much needed revenue to cities. If approved by the City Council, copies of the Resolution will be distributed to the following: Assembly Appropriation Committee members; Assemblyman Bob Pacheco; Senator Bob Margett; the authors and co-authors of the bill; California Contract Cities; and the League of California Cities Attachment: Proposed Resolution Opposing AB 1221 Hinderliter AB 1221 Calculator Examples, Chart, and Analysis RESOLUTION NO. 2003- A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR OPPOSING AB 1221 (STEINBERG AND CAMPBELL) — CALIFORNIA BALANCED COMMUNITIES ACT WHEREAS, AB 1221 enacts the California Balanced Communities Act of 2003; reduces a city's allocation of sales and use tax revenue; substitutes property tax revenue from the county's Educational Revenue Augmentation Funds (ERAF) to backfill the sales and use tax revenue lost by the city; and provides for an additional allocation of 0.5% of sales and use tax to the state in order to replace the lost ERAF money, and WHEREAS, the intention of AB 1221 is to create a positive incentive for local government to address housing, it instead penalizes cities by depriving them of dependable sales tax revenue, and WHEREAS, AB 1221 proposes to give the State more control over the distribution of local sales tax revenues placing the delivery of public services and municipal fiscal integrity at risk, and WHEREAS AB 1221 could in effect strip the City of Diamond Bar of its only local allocated tax revenue, and WHEREAS the future development of the City of Diamond Bar, will be more retail commercial based rather than residential according to the current general plan, and WHEREAS cities such as Diamond Bar are harmfully discriminated against by the use of a single base year formula prescribed in AB 1221 having made longer term land use decisions based on existing revenue sources which emphasize future retail commercial development, and WHEREAS the City of Diamond Bar will have a growing sales tax base anticipated to be more than its property tax base, and WHEREAS the City of Diamond Bar realizes that the state budget crisis needs to be solved and the state tax revenue system must be completely overhauled. THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR DOES HEREBY OPPOSE AB 1221 (Steinberg and Campbell) and RESOLVE: SECTION 1. AB 1221 is not beneficial to the City of Diamond Bar since potential loss of additional city revenues may lead to a reduction in essential public services. SECTION 2 The City Council recommends that the state budget office and the state legislature hold a series of town hall meetings with local elected officials around the state in order to accumulate more localized ideas to reach an equitable resolution to the state budaet crisis. SECTION 3. The City Council opposes AB 1221 and asks all elected officials to oppose AB 1221. SECTION 4. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of the Resolution. PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 13th day of May, 2003. CAROLHERRERA Mayor I, LYNDA BURGESS, City Clerk of the City of Diamond Bar, do hereby certify that the foregoing Resolution was passed, approved and adopted at a regular meeting of the City council of the City of Diamond Bar held on the 6th day of May, 2003, by the following Roll Call vote: AYES: COUNCIL MEMBERS: NOES: COUNCIL MEMBERS: ABSENT: COUNCIL MEMBERS: ABSTAIN: COUNCIL MEMBERS: Lynda Burgess, City Clerk City of Diamond Bar AGENDA ITEM NO. 2. 1.1 - NO REPORT AVAILABLE AGENDA HILA BLE REPORT / Ix LU zo o o u L 0)U)w�2wz z■� 1 03 - IL L) Lu Z�J�� Ul ■zz z o w o« Q MQUULL■ © �CA U) �a. £ E{ © c coc .

Lowry, City Manage—ry— TITLE: Consider Approval of Resolution No. 2003 -XX Opposing AB 1221 (Steinberg and Campbell), the Balanced Communities Act RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council approve Resolution 2003 -XX opposing AB 1221, the California Balanced Communities Act of 2003. ANALYSIS: AB 1221 enacts the California Balanced Communities Act of 2003, which would reduce city and county sales and use tax revenue and use property tax revenue from counties' Educational Revenue Augmentation Funds (ERAF) to backfill the sales and use tax revenue lost by cities and counties. The City is concerned with the following provisions of the proposed legislation: ^ This bill would take locally generated revenues (sales tax) that are currently distributed to cities and redirect that revenue to the State and backfill that lost revenue with property tax without constitutional protection guaranteeing property tax revenue would continue to be distributed to cities in the future. ^ The proposed legislation sets the property tax backfill amount based on 2003-04 sales tax revenue level. There is no language in the bill to account for future increases in sales tax revenue. In other words, the City would lose a portion of all future increases in sales tax revenue to the State. ^ For example, If Diamond Bar receives $3 million in sales tax effective January 2004, the sales tax revenue would be reduced to $1.5 million and the lost sales tax revenue would (theoretically) be replaced by backfill from property tax revenue via the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund. Once the initial shift is done, let's hypothetically say the property tax revenue grows from $2 million to $3.5 million. In order to make up the $1.5 million from the taken sales tax revenue, the percentage of property tax revenue received would grow from 5.3% to 8%. Theoretically, going forward, Diamond Bar would now receive .5% sales tax revenue and 8% property tax (2.7% back filled by ERAF). ^ Sales tax revenue represents a major source of income which Diamond Bar has been able to rely upon to provide many of its services. Changing this funding will be unhealthy for local governments and places delivery of public services and our municipal fiscal integrity at great risk. If enacted, this legislation would transfer one of the City's primary sources of revenue to the State. Cities would have to rely on the State to appropriate property tax revenue to cities to offset the lost sales tax revenue. When the State again overspends and must balance its own budget, there is no guarantee that the State will continue to provide this much needed revenue to cities. If approved by the City Council, copies of the Resolution will be distributed to the following: Assembly Appropriation Committee members; Assemblyman Bob Pacheco; Senator Bob Margett; the authors and co-authors of the bill; California Contract Cities; and the League of California Cities Attachment: Proposed Resolution Opposing AB 1221 Hinderliter AB 1221 Calculator Examples, Chart, and Analysis RESOLUTION NO. 2003 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR OPPOSING AB 1221 (STEINBERG AND CAMPBELL) - CALIFORNIA BALANCED COMMUNITIES ACT WHEREAS, AB 1221 enacts the California Balanced Communities Act of 2003; reduces a city's allocation of sales and use tax revenue; substitutes property tax revenue from the county's Educational Revenue Augmentation Funds (ERAF) to backfill the sales and use tax revenue lost by the city and provides for an additional allocation of 0.5% of sales and use tax to the state in order to replace the lost ERAF money, and WHEREAS, the intention of AB 1221 is to create a positive incentive for local government to address housing, it instead penalizes cities by depriving them of dependable sales tax revenue, and WHEREAS, AB 1221 proposes to give the State more control over the distribution of local sales tax revenues placing the delivery of public services and municipal fiscal integrity at risk, and WHEREAS, AB 1221 could, in effect, strip the City of Diamond Bar of its only local allocated tax revenue, and WHEREAS, the future development of the City of Diamond Bar will be more retail commercial based rather than residential according to the current general plan, and WHEREAS, cities such as Diamond Bar are harmfully discriminated against by the use of a single base year formula prescribed in AB 1221, having made longer term land use decisions based on existing revenue sources which emphasize future retail commercial development, and WHEREAS, the City of Diamond Bar will have a growing sales tax base anticipated to be more than its property tax base, and WHEREAS, the City of Diamond Bar realizes that the state budget crisis needs to be solved and the state tax revenue system must be completely overhauled. THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR DOES HEREBY OPPOSE AB 1221 (Steinberg and Campbell) and RESOLVE: SECTION 1. AB 1221 is not beneficial to the City of Diamond Bar since potential loss of additional city revenues may lead to a reduction in essential public services. SECTION 2. The City Council recommends that the state budget office and the state legislature hold a series of town hall meetings with local elected officials around the state in order to accumulate more localized ideas to reach an equitable resolution to the state budget crisis. SECTION 3. The City Council opposes AB 1221 and asks all elected officials to oppose AB 1221. SECTION 4. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of the Resolution. PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 13th day of May, 2003. CAROLHERRERA Mayor I, LYNDA BURGESS, City Clerk of the City of Diamond Bar, do hereby certify that the foregoing Resolution was passed, approved and adopted at a regular meeting of the City council of the City of Diamond Bar held on the 6th day of May, 2003, by the following Roll Call vote: AYES: COUNCIL MEMBERS: NOES: COUNCIL MEMBERS: ABSENT: COUNCIL MEMBERS: ABSTAIN: COUNCIL MEMBERS: Lynda Burgess, City Clerk City of Diamond Bar AGENDA ITEM NO. 2. 1.1 - NO REPORT AVAILABLE AGENDA ITEM NO. 2.1.2 - NO REPORT AVAILABLE NO. 2.2 CITY COUNCIL GOALS AGENDA NO LIST OF ONGOING OBJECTIVES FOR FY 2002-2003 GOAL ONGOING OBJECTIVE FINALIZE PLANS FOR Community/Senior Center The construction of this facility is proceeding.
