Financial Comments Funding for Street Maintenance comes primarily from the City’s share of State gas taxes and transfers from the wastewater and water enterprises reflecting their responsibility for wear and tear on the streets. Since gas taxes are collected based on gallons of gasoline, and not on the price of gas itself, the amount of gas tax revenue received by the City has, until recently, remained more or less flat, while the cost of street maintenance has increased over time due to inflation and increased traffic. The City is now receiving additional revenue from State Senate Bill 1 (2017) and Measure B (2016), which the City is dedicating completely to the Pavement Rehabilitation Projects within the Capital Improvement Program.

Included in this budget are salary adjustments and/or reclassifications of certain positions to address retention and recruitment issues that have been impacting the City.
