A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SAN RAFAEL ADOPTING THE MEASURE'S'
COMMITTEE REPORT COVERING THE PROPOSED
FISCAL YEAR 2013-2014 GENERAL FUND BUDGET
WHEREAS, on November 8, 2005, the voters of San, Rafael approved a
Transactions and Use Tax ("Measure S"). This measure amended the San Rafael
Municipal Code to establish a 0.5% retail transactions and use tax within the City of San
Rafael; and
WHEREAS, the enabling ordinance required the appointment of an independent
citizens' oversight committee that is required to review the collection and expenditure of
tax revenues collected under the authority of this ordinance; and
WHEREAS, the Finance Director reported to the Committee on the status of the
2012-2013 budget and the economic trends and fiscal policy direction that impact the
development of the General Fund Budget for fiscal year 2013-2014; and
WHEREAS, on May 16, 2013, the Committee met and reviewed the City's
Proposed General Fund Budget for fiscal year 2013-2014 and submitted a report dated
May 28, 2013; and
WHEREAS, the Committee finds that Measure S revenues are being spent
consistent with the Transactions and Use Tax Ordinance; and the Committee noted that
even with Measure S funding, it was necessary to reduce some essential service levels
due to General Fund revenues not keeping up with increased costs.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the San Rafael City Council adopts the report
from the Measure 'S' Committee, which is attached to this Resolution as EXHIBIT I.
I, ESTHER C. BEIRNE, Clerk of the City of San Rafael, hereby certify that the foregoing
