Title: City of Palo Alto Sales Tax Digest Summary for the Third (Calendar)
Quarter of 2020 (July-September)
From: City Manager
Lead Department: Administrative Services
Information
The City’s sales tax cash receipt of $6.5 million for the third quarter (July to September 2020) is $2.2
million (25.1 percent) lower than the same quarter of the prior year (see Chart # 5 of Attachment A).
This decline is not the same as an economic performance since there are timing differences in payment
receipts partially due to the state providing COVID-19 relief to some business that began in the prior
quarter. The economy declined 24.9 percent this quarter (see Chart # 6 of Attachment A). For the last
four consecutive quarters (October 2019 to September 2020), sales tax cash receipts for the City were
-22.5 percent compared to the prior four quarters.
The percent change in cash receipts for this report quarter was -4.1 percent statewide, -2.7 percent in
Northern California and -5.1 percent in Southern California. Palo Alto’s businesses were impacted more
than the state. The Long Range Financial Forecast, presented to the City Council on February 8, 2021
(CMR 11954), further discussed the future outlook of sales tax receipts. The FY 2021 Adopted Budget
was developed based on unknown length and depth of the public health emergency and uncertainty of
the economic impact of the pandemic. Mid-year adjustments to sales tax revenues are scheduled to be
presented to Council on March 1st (CMR 11872). While FY 2021 is trending above current FY 2021
Adopted Budget estimates, information from economists and the City’s sales tax consultant expect a 3-5
year recovery before this revenue returns to pre-COVID levels.
The following graphs illustrate the economic impacts of this quarter by geographic area and by industry
category. Attachment D contains details of these geographic areas for the third quarter of 2020 and
2019. The largest impacts are in the Greater Downtown (University Avenue) Business District, California
Avenue Business District, and Stanford Shopping Center, while General Retail and Food Products are the
most impacted industry categories. These charts, including comparison to 2019 Q3, can be found in
Attachment D.

California Overview
The percent change in cash receipts was ‐4.1% statewide, ‐2.7% in Northern California and ‐5.1% in
Southern California for the quarter ending in 3rd Quarter 2020. The period’s, cash receipts include tax
from business activity during the period, payments for prior periods and other cash adjustments. When
we adjust for non‐period related payments, we determine the overall business activity decreased for by
‐10.0% statewide, ‐11.3% in Southern California and ‐8.3% in Northern California for the year ending in
3rd Quarter 2020.
City of Palo Alto
For the year ended 3rd Quarter 2020, sales tax cash receipts for the City were ‐20.2% from the prior
year. On a quarterly basis, sales tax revenues decreased by 25.1% from 3rd Quarter 2019 to 3rd Quarter
2020. The period’s cash receipts include tax from business activity during the period, payments for prior
periods and other cash adjustments. Note: As a result of the extension program, some payments for 2nd
quarter economic activity were paid in the 3rd Quarter. It is important to recognize that the state
offered small businesses a 90 day extension to pay their 2nd Quarter 2020 taxes (to alleviate some of
the short‐term economic difficulties of the pandemic), and some businesses had partial or no payment
for the 2nd Quarter. Thus, the 32.5% decrease for the 2nd quarter includes decreases related to the
state 90‐day extension program and actual 2nd Quarter economic activity did not decline to this extent.
Regional Overview
The following Chart 1 shows benchmark year amounts which means that it shows a full year of calendar
fourth quarter Q4 2019 through Q3 2020 which is then compared to Q4 2018 through Q3 2019
(benchmark years are rolling annual comparisons through the current quarter).
The decrease is different between the state and Palo Alto because the sales tax from businesses in Palo
Alto were more impacted than those statewide. This chart and the ones on pages five and six also
exclude county pools and adjustments. The county pool is largely internet sales tax and other types of
use tax which are not ‘brick and mortar’ local businesses – the county pool revenue amounts are
generated through a formula based upon the city’s sales tax receipts for the quarter as a percentage of
the counties total sax tax receipts for all jurisdictions within the county. This is then applied to all the
outside of jurisdiction tax received for the entire county. Adjustments are cash adjustments for things
like late payments, audit adjustments, etc.

Unlike the chart on page 1 which showed a ‘benchmark year’ through Q3 2020, the chart above shows a comparison of one quarter only – Q3 2020 to Q3 2019.
Declines are more dramatic for the quarter because it was the one with the primary decline versus the full year. Again, this chart also excludes county pools and
adjustments.

We are pleased to share our analysis of the Governor’s Proposed Budget for
FY 21/22. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
Fran Mancia, Vice President of Government Relations
Fran.Mancia@AvenuInsights.com
Governor Gavin Newsom introduced his $227 billion 2021-22 Budget Proposal on Friday,
January 8, 2021 with fairly positive news. Although California’s revenues have
experienced a moderate slowdown, thus far it has impacted the State’s revenues far less than anticipated by the
2020-21 Budget Act. The difference in projections is the result of a less severe economic downturn than
expected, wage losses in large part impacting low-wage earners, and a stronger stock market than projected.
California’s tax structure leans heavily on high income earners for revenues, and as a result is quite volatile,
however, so far, the structure has helped to maintain state revenues during the pandemic. The Department of
Finance estimates that revenues from the three largest sources, personal income tax, sales tax, and corporation
tax, will grow from 2019-20 through 2024-25 by about 1.9% annually, much lower than the 6.4% growth over
the last ten years. In addition, the amount of risk in projections is much higher than normal, with the trajectory
of the pandemic, falls in the stock market, more widespread job losses, additional businesses closing, failure to
address structural inequality, extreme weather events, wildfires, rising sea levels, and droughts among the
uncertainties listed in the budget summary. The Administration is estimating a structural deficit of $7.6 billion
in 2022-23, which is expected to grow to over $11 billion by 2024-25 due to program costs far outpacing
revenues. That said, the better than anticipated revenue picture prompted the governor to delay $2 billion in
scheduled program suspensions primarily in health and human services programs.
The Budget Proposal contains $34 billion in Reserves and Surplus
●$15.6 billion in the Proposition 2 Budget Stabilization Account (Rainy Day Fund)
●$450 million in the Safety Net Reserve
●$3 billion in the Public School System Stabilization Account
●$2.9 billion in the State’s operating reserve
Gann Limit: For the second time since its passage in 1979, the Gann Limit is projected to be exceeded, which
requires funds above the limit to be allocated evenly between schools and a tax refund. Currently the estimate is
that the Gann Limit has been exceeded by $102 million, however estimates will be updated as part of the May
Revision.
Highlights: Notably absent from the Budget Proposal is funding for broadband expansion and direct public
health funding. In addition, although funding is not included in the Budget Proposal to directly assist local
governments in backfilling lost revenue resulting from COVID-19, there are several proposals that are likely to
be of interest: $750 million to expand Homekey, $500 million for grants to local governments and developers to
spur housing construction through the Infill Infrastructure Grant Program, $500 million in low-income tax

credits to fund affordable housing projects, $1 billion to reduce wildfire risk and improve forest health, and $82
million to support the Parks for All initiative.
City Reaction: In a statement released by the League of California Cities, Executive Director and CEO Carolyn
Coleman praised the governor for his new investments to address homelessness and strengthen the State’s
wildfire resiliency and emergency response efforts, but criticized the proposal for its lack of funding to address,
“the billions of dollars in budget shortfalls that cities have experienced due to COVID-19, while working on the
front lines for months, protecting our communities and delivering services throughout the pandemic.” The full
statement can be found here.
Below is an outline of items included in the governor’s January Budget Proposal (Budget Proposal) broken
down by category. These proposals will be discussed and vetted by the Legislature through budget
subcommittees, balanced with the Legislature’s proposals and priorities, and incorporated into a final budget in
June after the May Revision of revenues and spending is also considered. The governor’s Budget Proposal
includes a number of items he is requesting that the Legislature adopt prior to passage of the budget in June to
address the economic struggles of residents and businesses resulting from the pandemic.
Immediate and Early Action
Below are the Administration’s charts showing both immediate action and early action requests of the
Legislature. The goal is for the Legislature to act on immediate action items this month and follow up in early
spring with approval of the early action items.

Golden State Stimulus, Renter Relief, and Eviction Moratorium
The governor also previewed the following proposals prior to the release of the Budget Proposal with the
request that the Legislature act immediately to move them forward.
Golden State Stimulus Program: This program would provide $600 to roughly four million low-income
Californians. The funds would be distributed to all 2019 taxpayers who received a California Earned Income
Tax Credit (CalEITC) in 2020, as well as to 2020 taxpayers with Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers
(ITINs) who are eligible for and receive the CalEITC in 2021. Payments would begin rolling out in February
2021 for individuals who filed in 2020 and later for those who won’t file their taxes until this year.
Renter Relief: $2.6 billion in federal renter relief is proposed to be allocated as quickly as possible to assist
struggling renters and stabilize small property owners.
Eviction Moratorium: The governor is requesting that the State’s eviction moratorium, which expires on
January 31, be extended for renters able to pay 25% of their rent obligation.
Homelessness and Housing
Homelessness: $1.75 billion in one-time General Fund for homelessness initiatives is included in the
governor’s Budget Proposal:
● $750 million in one-time General Fund for the Department of Housing and Community Development

million of this proposed allocation is designated for early action by the Legislature.
● $750 million in one-time General Fund over three years for competitive grants to counties to acquire and
rehabilitate real estate to expand behavioral health treatment resources. The Administration estimates
1264 Hawks Flight Court #270, El Dorado Hills CA 95762 | 559-288-7296 | www.avenuinsights.com
that this funding will provide at least 5,000 beds, units, or rooms. Counties will be required to provide a
local match to draw down funding. Relinquished adult jail bond financing is being considered to help
finance this effort, as there is currently $202 million available for allocation.
● $250 million in one-time General Fund for the Department of Social Services to acquire and rehabilitate
Adult Residential Facilities and Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly to preserve and expand
housing for low-income seniors who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless.
Local Accountability: $4.3 million General Fund is proposed for HCD to provide assistance to local
governments in meeting planning and zoning requirements. In addition, the Budget Proposal creates a Housing
Accountability Unit at HCD to assist in the facilitation of affordable housing production. Promulgation of pro-
housing regulations is targeted for early this year.
Infill Infrastructure Grant (IIG) Program: $500 million through the IIG Program is included in the Budget
Proposal to local governments and developers to defray the infrastructure costs of sewers, roads, and site
preparation, paving the way for 7,500 affordable housing units. $250 million of these funds are proposed for
early action by the Legislature.
Low-Income Housing Tax Credits: $500 million is proposed for a third round of low-income housing tax
credits.
Housing Financing Process: $2.7 million General Fund is included in the Budget Proposal to implement AB
434, Chapter 192, Statutes of 2020. AB 434, supported by Orange County, aligns six rental housing programs
with the Multifamily Housing Program, to enable HCD to implement a single application and scoring system
for making coordinated awards under all seven programs, starting on January 1, 2022. Additionally, the
Business, Consumer Services, and Housing Agency, in conjunction with the Treasurer’s Office, has established
a working group to examine and align housing finance programs.
Federal Relief: $2.6 billion in federal rental assistance is anticipated to be directed to California, split between
state and local governments. The funding will be used to support low-income tenants under 80% of Area
Median Income (AMI), with a priority for those under 50% AMI.
Excess State Land Development: The Budget Proposal includes statutory changes to encourage development,
including authorizing market-rate and commercial development that will provide flexibility and financial
feasibility to subsidize affordable housing production on excess lands. Three excess state land developments are
currently underway and nine additional sites are in the pipeline.
Construction Apprenticeships: $8.5 million is allocated in one-time General Fund through the California
Workforce Development Board to expand access to construction apprenticeships.
Fair Housing Enforcement: $2 million General Fund is included in the Budget Proposal for the Department of

Criminal Justice and the Judicial Branch
Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR): The average daily adult inmate population in the
budget year is now projected to be 97,950, 20% fewer than the 2020-21 Budget Act. The average daily parolee
population is estimated at 45,924, a decrease of 4% from the 2020-21 Budget Act.
COVID-19: CDCR has spent $408.3 million in 2019-20 and 2020-21 so far on COVID-19 activities. Current

Proposal provides $281.3 million in one-time General Fund in 2021-22 for pandemic related expenses.
COVID-19 Workers' Compensation Presumption: $51 million General Fund in 2021-22, growing to $77.6
million in 2024-25 for increased workers’ compensation costs associated with the measure is allocated in the
Budget Proposal. SB 1159, Chapter 85, Statutes of 2020, created a rebuttable presumption that illness or death

Department of Justice roster of not unsafe handguns be equipped with chamber load indicators,
magazine disconnect mechanisms, and microstamping technology.
Prison Capacity: The Budget Proposal assumes closure of the final in-state contract correctional facility by
May 2021. In addition, CDCR plans to close Deuel Vocational Institution by September 2021, saving $113.5
million General Fund in 2021-22 and $150.6 million General Fund beginning in 2022-23.
Criminal Fines and Fees: The 2018 Budget Act established a pilot program allowing indigent and low-income
individuals to apply online to have their fines and fees from traffic infractions reduced. The Budget Proposal
includes $12.3 million General Fund in 2021-22, increasing to $58.4 million ongoing General Fund by 2024-25
to expand the program statewide for both traffic and non-traffic infractions. Ongoing costs contained in the
