The ballot measure says this assessment will be added to the $9.5 million is budget that the departments had last year. He feels there have been. increases in revenues t6 from both sales tax and property tax. A 5 % increase in revenue, if distributed equally, ~~ would result in an additional $475,000 in the Police and Fire Departments' budgets. It is appears that increases in revenue will not be prorated and distributed to public safety, but t9 instead they will be given to the other departments. This is substituting the assessment Zo money for the General Fund. Zt For clarification one could state, "If there is any general, overall increase in available a2 funds distributed throughout the City's departments, the Police and Fire Departments will 23 get their proportion of such increase in addition to the assessment. " Please make that Za perfectly clear yourselves, not in a staff comment. I don't think the intent is really clear Zs how the assessment as well as increased revenues are going to be distributed in the future. 26 MINUTES 2~ The minutes of the March 21, 1994, meeting were not in eveyone's packet.
