Dominguez, Administrative Services Director APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION TO ENACT AN AGREEMENT FOR FUNDING FIRE PROTECTION SERVICES DURING FISCAL YEAR 1995/96 BACKGROUND As the City Council is aware, the Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District has experienced a substantial reduction in its property tax revenues. This is primarily a result of reassessments which have taken place countywide. For 1994/95 it is projected that the District will have an estimated deficit of approximately $400,000. Compounded by continuing reassessments through fiscal year 1995/96, it is anticipated that the District will need an additional $650,000 in order to balance its general fund budget. The District is unable to raise its general fund revenues by the mount of $650,000. FINDINGS The City of Rancho Cucamonga desires that the level of its fire protection services be maintained at its current level. The City also finds it has the ability to provide a general fund payment to ensure continued provision of those fire protection services. The City Attorney has prepared an agreement which will enable the City to transfer up to $650,000 in general fund dollars to the Fire Protection District. This will ensure fire protection services continue at their current level. The exact mount paid will be based on District revenue projections as determined on or before June 30, 1996, and will not exceed $650,000. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution and authorize the Mayor to execute the agreement on behalf of the City. Administrative Services Director RCD/dah RESOLUTION NO. 95-*'*'* C)Q / A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, AUTHORIZING ENTRY INTO AN AGREEMENT FOR FUNDING OF FIRE PROTECTION SERVICES WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga, has determined that it is necessary for the efficient operation and management of Fire Protection Services within the City to make up a shortfall in District revenues, and; WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga, recognizes that it has sufficient funds available to provide to District to maintain existing service levels within the City's boundaries, during fiscal year 1995/96, and; WHEREAS, the attached agreement for funding of fire protection services provides authorization for payment of said funds for fire protection services. NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved that the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga authorize the Mayor to enter into an agreement for funding of fire protection services within the city limits of the City of Rancho Cucamonga during fiscal year 1995/96. PASSED, APPROVED, and ADOPTED this __ day of June, 1995. 7 AGREEMENT FOR FUNDING OF FIRE PROTECTION SERVICES WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA DURING FISCAL YEAR 1995-96 This Agreement is made and entered into by and between the City of Rancho Cucamonga ("City" hereinai~er) and Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District ("District" hereinafter). WITNESSETH A. Recitals. (i) District provides fire protection and related services within City's boundaries. City desires that the level of services so provided by District during fiscal year 1994-95 ("the service levels" hereinafter) be maintained by District during fiscal year 1995-96. (iii) District projects a budget shortfall of $650,000 for fiscal year 1995-96 which jeopardizes District's ability to provide the service levels within City's boundaries during fiscal year 1995-96. (iv) Rather than City directly supplementing District's provision of services within City's boundaries during fiscal year 1995-96 City is willing to fund District's operations during that fiscal year to insure that the service levels will be maintained within City. (v) California Constitution Article XIIIB, Section 3 (a) provides as follows: "In the event that the financial respomibility of providing services is transferred, in whole or in pan, whether by annexation, incorporation, or otherwise, from one entity of government to another, then for the year in which such transfer becomes effective the appropriations limit of the transferee entity shall be increased by such reasonable amount as the said entities shall mutually agree and the appropriations I limit of the transferor entity shall be decreased by the same amount." B. Agreement. NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows: 1. On or before June 30, 1996, City shall pay to District an amount not to exceed $650,000. The exact sam to be determined by the City Manager based upon currently available data at the time payment is made. 2. In consideration of City's payment provided for in paragraph 1 above, District shall maintain the service levels within city's boundaries during the entirety of the 1995-96 fiscal year. 3. On or before July 31, 1996, District shall supply to City financial statements and any and all other documents deemed necessary by City to indicate that the funds be paid pursuant to paragraph 1 have been utilized by District to maintain the service levels within City during fiscal year 1995-96 rather than being put to another use such as supplementing District's reserves. Any portion of said sum not so utilized in the prescribed manner shall be refunded to City within 30 days of notification by the City. 4. In considering subsequent year's allocation to the District, the City will utilize the Utility Users Tax Reduction Formula adopted pursuant to Resolution No. 5. In accordance with California Constitution Article XIIIB, Section 3 (a), City's appropriation limitation for fiscal year 1995-96 shall be increased and District's appropriation limitation for fiscal year 1995/96 shall be decreased by the amount paid to the District pursuant to paragraph 1, above based upon the transfer of financial responsibility of providing fire protection and related services provided for herein. Said adjustments to appropriation limitations shall be modified promptly to reflect any retired which occurs in accordance with paragraph 3, above. 2 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have entered into this Agreement on the dates set forth below opposite the name of each such party. CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA Dated: By: William J. Alexander Mayor ATTEST: Debra Adams, City Clerk, City of Rancho Cucamonga RANCHO CUCAMONGA FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT Dated: By: William J. Alexander, President f CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA STAFF REPORT DATE: June 8, 1995 TO: Mayor and Members of the City Cotmcil Jack Lam, AICP, City Manager FROM: Robert C. Dominguez, Administrative Services Director SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION TO ADOPT A UTILITY USER TAX REDUCTION FORMULA BACKGROUND The City ordinance enacting the utility user tax was adopted on April 7, 1993. At the time it represented a stop gap revenue source to supplant funds taken away by the State of Califomia, as well as revenue eroded by the economic downtum. The tax was established at 4.66% and was applied to water, electric, gas, and telephone service within the City of Rancho Cucamonga. FINDINGS The City Council has been on record desiring the reduction and ultimate elimination of the utility user's tax. Staff has recognized the City Council's desire and feels confident that a systematic process for reduction and ultimate elimination of the utility tax can be enacted. This oppommity is available because for the first time in five years, the City's budget for 1995/96 will be self-sustaining and be devoid of one time reimbursements which bolstered the City's revenues during the last five years. The concept behind the utility tax reduction is that as the five major general fund revenue sources increase from year to year, a portion of this net general fund increase shall be used to reduce the utility user's tax and cap. The City's general fund revenue indicators represent nearly 70% of the total and include: sales tax, property tax, motor vehicle license fees, franchise fees, and any utility user tax revenue in excess of the base year. The model ensures a systematic and proportionate reduction in the utility user's cap rate of $50,000 and tax rate of 4.66% based upon growth trends of the major revenue indicators. Specific projections as to how long it will take are indeterminate because it is based on revenue growth, which in a City which has a substantial amount of undeveloped property could yield substantial growth periods at any time. If, however, the revenue sources do not increase, there is no change in the utility user's tax or cap rate. Further, if for some reason revenues decrease the formula does not provide for any increase in the utility user's tax or cap rate. The formula only provides for reductions. Mayor and Members of the City Council Jack Lain, AICP, City Manager APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION TO ADOPT A UTILITY USER TAX REDUCTION FORMULA June 8, 1995 Page 2 RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution enacting the formula for reduction and ultimate elimination of the utility user's tax and cap rate for the City of Rancho Cucamonga.
