Becker, Chief Financial Officer DATE: May 14, 2021 CITY COUNCIL MEMO SUBJECT: Approval of a resolution to approve a budget amendment in the amount of $20,000 to pay for a special election for the purpose of continuing the one percent City Sales and Use Tax on August 10, 2021. RECOMMENDATION: Approval of a resolution to approve a budget amendment in the amount of $20,000 to pay for a special election for the purpose of continuing the one percent City Sales and Use Tax on August 10, 2021. BACKGROUND: As you are all aware, the Arkansas Statutes provide enabling legislation for a levy of a one percent City-wide Sales and Use Tax if approved by the voters. In 2011, the citizens of Fayetteville elected to continue the one percent City-wide Sales Tax which was then scheduled to expire in June 2013. The Sales Tax will continue until June 2023 pursuant to the authorizing ordinance voted on. As we approach 2023, it is extremely important that adequate lead time be provided for consideration of the request for continuation of this tax. It is also important that the citizens consider the continuation of this tax before they are presented with any request for new sales taxes proposed by other jurisdictions. The continuation of the City Sales Tax must again be authorized by the voter; therefore, the administration is requesting a special election for that purpose be held on August 10, 2021. DISCUSSION: As your Chief Financial Officer, it is my responsibility to identify issues and potential ramifications associated with the loss of the City Sales Tax revenue if not continued via voter approval. I will try to do this as simply and clearly as possible. The City collects approximately $22,500,000 annually from the City-wide Sales and Use Tax. That amount is split in a 60-40 ratio between General Fund Operations and Sales Tax Capital Improvements respectively. In dollars this is $13,500,000 for operations and $9,000,000 for capital. In percentage terms this is 27.25% of the General Fund Revenue and 100% of the Sales Tax Capital Improvements Program. A revenue loss of that magnitude could not be replaced by other sources. It is also important to note that other revenue sources are currently Mailing Address: 113 W. Mountain Street www.fayetteville-ar.gov Fayetteville, AR 72701 experiencing downward pressures in the short run due to coronavirus and related issues; therefore, we would have to cut operating expenses and related services dramatically. The ongoing Sales Tax Capital Program of $9,000,000 would disappear. A quick review of the General Fund expenditures budget will indicate that 81.6% of that budget is for personnel services. That is approximately $40,400,000. If we cut each category in the budget in direct proportion to the revenue loss (27.25%), the personnel services category would have to be reduced by about $11,000,000. There are 498.25 authorized FTEs in the General Fund. Twenty-seven and one -quarter percent of authorized FTEs is 136, but the loss of jobs in number would be larger than that and could be as many as 150. Since Public Safety is about 60% of the numerical total, that could mean 81 job reductions in that sector alone. The Capital Improvements Program funds many very important programs such as: • Street Overlay • Trails • Library Materials • Information Technology • Fire Apparatus • Sidewalks/Drainage Equipment Upgrades & Replacements Amounts currently provided from the Sales Tax Capital Fund for these programs would be eliminated. The current amount funded is approximately $9,000,000 per year. SUMMARY: The above discussion should not be construed as a plan of action if the City Sales and Use Tax is not continued. However, I believe that the facts shown above indicate both the magnitude and potential service reductions that the loss of the City's largest single revenue producing tax would cause. The citizens of Fayetteville have shown themselves to be thoughtful and intelligent voters. I am confident that after being shown the facts, they will overwhelmingly vote to continue this tax, which provides funding for many vital programs. BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT: The cost of the requested special election is estimated to be $20,000 and a budget amendment for that amount is attached.
