Item No. 3. City Council Agenda Staff Report Meeting Date: 8/16/2016 AGENDA ITEM: Consider/Discuss/Act on an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Anna, Texas calling a special election to be held within the City on November 8, 2016, to submit a proposition to abolish the local sales and use tax imposed by the City for the benefit of the Anna Economic Development Corporation, to increase the municipal sales and use tax from one percent to one and one-quarter percent, and to increase the local sales and use tax imposed by the City for the benefit of the Anna Community Development Corporation from one-half of one percent to three- quarters of one percent; making provision for the conduct of the special election; providing for other matters related thereto; and providing an effective date (Philip Sanders) SUMMARY: One of the goals identified in the City’s strategic plan is to “focus on improvements to major transportation corridors emphasizing functionality, aesthetics, efficiency, and impact on adjacent development.” During the budget workshop earlier this spring, the City Council reviewed various road projects and discussed the need to find additional sources of funding for transportation and road projects. During the May 24 Council meeting Staff presented a concept for consideration that would reallocate a portion of the local option sales tax in order to increase funds available in the General Fund for transportation and road projects. House Bill 157 passed in the 2015 legislative session enables cities to re-allocate the 2% local option sales tax provided the local option does not exceed 2%. The current allocation provides 1% to the General Fund while the Community and Economic Development Corporations each receive 0.5%. Staff is recommending that the City Council seek voter approval during the November 2016 general election to reallocate the local option sales tax providing 1.25% to the General Fund and 0.75% to the Anna Community Development Corporation as illustrated in the table below. The operations of the Economic Development Corporation would be merged with the Community Development Corporation. The Community Development Corporation has the ability to perform all functions and activities of an Economic Development Corporation so the functions of the Economic Development Corporation would continue. Local Option Sales Tax (2%) Current Allocation Proposed Allocation % Sales Tax Estimated Revenue* % Sales Tax Estimated Revenue* General Fund 1.00% $750,000 1.25% $937,500 CDC 0.50% $375,000 0.75% $562,500 EDC 0.50% $375,000 -- TOTAL 2.00% $1,500,000 2.00% $1,500,000 *based in FY 2017 budget estimates If the sales tax reallocation is approved, sales tax revenue in the General Fund that would be available for transportation and road projects would increase by an estimated $187,500*. The additional sales tax revenue in the General Fund would continue to grow as sales tax revenue increases. From 2008 through 2015, the City experienced average annual sale tax growth of about 11%. Should the election pass, staff will prepare a budget amendment for Council approval recognizing the additional sales tax revenue in the General Fund. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the attached Ordinance calling for an election to reallocate the local option sales tax.
