Mr. Penman advised that at the Study Session on February 3rd it was reported that the General Fund revenue will be approximately $2 million dollars below estimates from the adopted budget assuming 100% of all appropriations were expended. At that time, the City Council directed staff to analyze a number of alternatives on how to close the budget shortfall which included a review of all vacant positions to determine the impacts on services and programs should those positions be frozen for the remainder of the fiscal year and to look at other operating expenses that could be reduced to address the shortfall. Mr. Penman advised that after further analysis, the City could achieve an estimated General Fund expenditure savings in the current fiscal year of $1,010,107 which represents approximately 2.2% reduction in the operational budget. He noted the cancelation of the July 4th fireworks show by the City Council will represent $49,000 revenue transfer, a transfer from the Water Fund to the General Fund of $150,000 for the leasing of City property for water purposes and with an additional $8,000 to be paid to the City from Methodist Hospital for reimbursement of legal expenses the City incurred for work on their bond financing and other miscellaneous revenue will result in additional revenues of $207,000. He further noted the City has not received fourth quarter sales tax figures that show holiday sales and should be available in early April. He advised that with the $1 million dollars savings, $200,000 in new revenue which has been identified, the shortfall would be approximately $756,000. He reported that if the 17 vacant positions remain vacant or frozen for the remainder of the fiscal year the cost savings would be approximately $366,312 making the shortfall about ' $389,000. He suggested that the City Council consider directing staff to continue to explore cuts and expenses without dramatically affecting programs for about $1,000,000 and approve the transfer from the Water Fund to pay the City property which houses water facilities. He noted that the City will likely face similar or greater fiscal challenges next fiscal year and recommended that staff commence working on developing alternatives for program cuts that the 02-17-2009 51:0025 City Council can consider as part of the 2009-10 budget process. He further noted that ' reserves would be needed to address the shortfall this year, but would allow for a more deliberative process of weighing options for balancing the budget.

Recommended Action: Adopt 02-17-2009 51:0032 Adopt Resolution No. 6667 providing for the filing of rebuttal arguments for Citv Measures submitted at Municipal Elections. Recommended Action: Adopt Mr. Penman provided an update on the proposed utility users tax ballot measure relating to telecommunications. He explained changes in Federal regulations, litigation and potential legislation that may cause the City of Arcadia, along with other cities, to lose a portion of utility users tax money. Mr. Penman reported that cities have not kept up with the changes in technology and as a result telecommunication companies have been challenging the validity of utility taxes on telecommunications. He further reported that there are court cases pending that could invalidate portions of existing taxes on telecommunication services. He noted that last year ten California cities took ballot measures to their voters to modernize their ordinances to cover new technology, without a rate change and they all passed. He advised that the City currently collects $704,000 in utility tax revenue for land-line use and $922,000 in wireless. He reiterated this is existing revenue that the City currently receives based on an existing 5% rate and not a new or increased tax. Mr. Penman noted that there is currently a proposal before Congress to create a moratorium on changes cities may want to take and if passed could go into effect in 2010 which would prohibit cities from submitting a ballot measure to the voters to modernize utility users tax as it relates to telecommunications. He also noted that cities with voter approved modernized ordinances would not be affected by this Bill if a ballot measure were approved by the voters in 2009. He explained that a subcommittee was appointed by the City Council, consisting of Mayor Harbicht and Council Member Kovacic to work with staff to consider options and provide recommendations on a possible ballot measure before the voters to modernize and update the ordinance on telecommunications. He advised that the City Council consider placing this ballot measure before the voters at a June 9, 2009 Special Municipal Election and adopt the appropriate resolutions and appropriate $115,000 for the special election and an additional $15,000 for public information mailers. He explained that consolidating this election with the school district, which is run by the County, would cost the City an additional $50,000. Jim Priest of the City Attorney's Office (Best Best & Krieger) explained the City's current utility users tax is outdated to deal with modern telecommunication technology. He explained the legal loopholes which could put upwards of $1 million dollars in revenue to the City at risk for loss. Mr. Priest further explained the purpose of each Resolution as they relate to the proposed Special Municipal Election to be held on June 9, 2009. Mr. Kovacic proposed that the word "Ordinance" be added in the ballot text after the words Utility User's Tax. In response to questions raised by Council Member Amundson, Mr. Priest responded that the City is proposing this measure because the language for telecommunication is outdated and should be updated and modernized to reflect text messaging, voice over internet protocol (internet phone) and other emerging technologies which can mean a loss of revenue. He further responded the intent of the ordinance is not to add new elements i.e. cable television, it will not tax internet access charges and its only intent is to tax the telecom services that the ordinance should already reflect because of modern technologies. 02-17-2009 51:0033 A motion was made by Council/Agency Member Chandler, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Wuo ' and carried on roll call vote to adopt Resolution No. 6664 declaring an emergency under Proposition 218 and calling for the placement of a General Tax Measure on the ballot at a Special Municipal Election to be held on Tuesday, June 9, 2009 for the submission to the qualified voters of a proposed ordinance updating the telephone/telecommunications provisions of the City's Utility Users Tax including revisions to the language as recommended.
