ATTACHMENT A <br />May 28, 2019, Meeting – Item 4 <br />Ordinance - Page 6 of 6 <br /> Section 3. The purpose of the payroll tax is to raise additional revenue to be able to <br />increase community safety services beyond what the City was able to fund in FY18 (before the <br />$8.6 “bridge” funding). Therefore, the Council intends to use the payroll tax revenues to <br />supplement, and not replace, funding used in FY18 for community safety services. <br /> Section 4. Notwithstanding Section 3, the Council intends to use payroll tax revenues to <br />replace $840,000 of downtown police services funding that is currently coming from the parking <br />fund. <br /> Section 5. In FY27, the Citizen Advisory Board established by section 3.738 of this code <br />shall conduct a comprehensive review of the city’s use of the payroll tax revenues and prepare <br />and deliver a report to the city manager no later than March 31, 2027. The city manager shall <br />provide the Citizen Advisory Board’s report to the council and make the report publicly available. <br />After receiving the report, the council shall hold a public hearing to hear citizen input regarding <br />whether the payroll tax is accomplishing the objectives specified in this Ordinance’s findings and <br />the purpose specified in section 3.720. After reviewing the Citizen Advisory Board’s report and <br />public testimony, the City Council shall determine whether the payroll tax should continue. If the <br />Council concludes that the payroll tax should continue, the Council shall adopt a motion not later <br />than June 30, 2027, stating that the payroll tax will continue after FY28. If the Council fails to <br />adopt such a motion by June 30, 2027, then the payroll tax shall automatically terminate with <br />respect to wages earned on or after July 1, 2028. <br /> Section 6.
