Capital Improvement Program
Fiscal Years 2010-2015
Introduction
The Capital Improvement Program, or CIP, is a five-year planning instrument used to identify and
coordinate the financing and timing of public improvements. The first year of this five-year
program is the capital budget that appears in the annual budget. By considering all the projects
at a single time, a more comprehensive view can be taken of the community's capital needs and
the City's response. Projects slated for subsequent years in the program are for planning
purposes only and do not receive expenditure authority until they are allocated funding in a
future capital budget approved by City Council. The CIP addresses major public facility
improvements for the purpose of repairing, replacing or constructing new portions of the City's
physical infrastructure system; such as streets, sewers, buildings, parks, street lights and storm
drains and redevelopment. The CIP Committee reviews capital improvement suggestions from
both the community and City departments on a yearly basis.
The goals of the Capital Improvement Program are to plan for the City's long term capital
improvement needs and associated capital financing requirements. The program provides the
means for the City Council to determine capital priorities and a means to carry them out.
Categories
CIP projects are categorized by project type; Facilities, Redevelopment, Park & Recreation,
Infrastructure, and Information Technology.
Infrastructure includes such general purpose assets such as streets, storm drainage, sewer
lines, street -lighting, traffic signals, sidewalk, and curb & gutters.
Facilities include city offices, warehouses, police & fire stations, community centers and other
public -purpose structures.
Information Technology includes items that are large or costly, including computers,
communications equipment (e.g., telephones and emergency communications). In some
case computer software may be considered.
Administration
The CIP projects are administered by the Engineering Division of the Development Services
Group. Prior to submitting a request to the CIP Committee, the City Engineer is responsible for
determining if a project qualifies as a project for the program. If a project is determined to be an
ineligible project by the City Engineer, the project proponent has the option of taking the request
to the CIP committee for review. A capital project is defined as an undertaking wherein labor
and/or materials are used to construct, alter, append or replace a building or an item of
infrastructure or a component of a building or an item of infrastructure. Capital Project that has a
specific objective, is easily distinguishable from other work being performed, has a definite
beginning and end, does not occur annually (non -routine), and typically has a total cost in excess
of $100,000 and the expectant life is 10 or more years. Not considered as a capital project is
routine maintenance, for example, the periodic scheduled renewal of finishes or the replacement
of minor components or equipment. These items are sometimes considered a capital
expenditure - Charges for the acquisition of equipment, land, building, or improvements of land
or buildings, fixtures, and other permanent improvements with a value in excess of $5,000 and a
useful life expectancy of more than one year. Capital Expenditures are administered by the
responsible department. The City Engineer shall have responsibility and accountability for
implementation of all City of National City capital projects, including redevelopment projects. For
2 of 9
each capital project, there shall be a single delegated project coordinator, designated by the City
Engineer, who has delegated responsibility and accountability for the implementation of the
project. The project coordinator shall have full information about the project and shall be
responsible for its successful implementation. Each project shall be individually identified with a
title, a project number that is recognized by the City's automated financial system and a
specification number.
Project Priority Ranking
The CIP Committee members apply the City Council's criteria for establishing the priority for CIP
project. Each project is evaluated and weighted based on the criteria below:
Health, Safety, & Regulatory Requirements (40%) — These include Seismic regulations, ADA,
NPDES, Department of Health and other State or Federal Mandates, these have a high
consequence for failure to complete (unsafe roads, people could get hurt, legal
consequences).
Cost and Funding Opportunities (20%) — Return on investment from grants, considers grant
deadlines, fund availability, ratio of grant funds to total project cost, considers staff time to
administer grant requirements.
General Plan Compliance and Community Support (10%) — stimulation of local economy,
public pressure and direction, possibly identified through a survey, promotes neighborhood
livability.
Multiple Category Benefit (10%) — Projects that support multiple categories (for example
street, safety, pedestrian improvement, and drainage) would get a higher ranking.
Maintenance Needs (10%) — Projects that require high or new maintenance costs score
lower, projects that preserve existing assets and reduce maintenance costs score higher.
Readiness and Deliverabilitv (10%) — Degree to which a project is close to completing a
specific phase, work done to date that would be lost if project is deferred.
Funding Sources and Uses
CIP projects can be funded by grants, bond or other debt instruments issued, special
assessments on property owners benefiting from the improvement, current taxes, development
impact fees and the City's reserves.
001 - General Fund: is the primary operating fund of the City. It accounts for all financial
resources not required to be accounted for in a special purpose fund, and finances operations for
funds that do not have adequate dedicated revenues, such as the Library, Parks Maintenance,
and Nutrition Center Funds.
103 — General Capital Outlay Fund: This fund is used to account for funds set aside from the
proceeds of sale of and rental from, surplus real property for the City's five-year capital
improvement program.
3 of 9
109 - Gas Taxes Fund: Cities are allocated a share of the revenues derived from the State taxes
on gasoline to be used exclusively for street improvement and maintenance. The four types of
gas taxes are described below. Revenue estimates are based on the League of California Cities
Budget Bulletin and on historical trends. Under Section 2105 of the Streets and Highways Code,
cities receive an amount equal to the net revenues from 11.5 % of the highway users tax in
excess of the $.09 per gallon allocated based on population. The FY10 estimate is $343,000.
Under section 2106, each city receives a fixed apportionment of $400 per month plus an
additional per capita amount after counties are allocated their portion of the overall base. The
FY10 estimate is $227,000. Under section 2107, cities and counties receive a monthly allocation
equivalent to $0.00725 per gallon per capita. The FY10 estimate is $455,000. Under section
2107.5, cities receive a fixed annual amount based on population, ranging from $1,000 for cities
with a population of less than 5,000 to $20,000 for cities with populations over 500,000. National
City's allocation is $7,500. Interest earnings equivalent to the ratio of Gas Tax Fund cash
balances to the total pooled cash balances are required to be allocated to this fund.
115 — Parks and recreation capital outlay fund: This fund is used to account for revenues from
dwelling fees set aside for capital improvement expenditures of the Parks and recreation
department.
125 - Sewer Service Fund: This fund is used to account for the construction and maintenance of
City sewers. The primary revenue source is sewer service charges. Beginning in 2003, the City
began charging for sewer services on the property tax statements sent by San Diego County;
however, some properties are unique and require individual billing by the City. The FY10 estimate
of $7.1 million is the total of the property tax assessments and individual billings.
301 - C.D.B.G. Fund: The C.D.B.G. (Community Development Block Grant) Fund is used to
account for activities related to the annual grant from the Department of Housing and Urban
Development. The purpose of the grant is to assist with developing viable urban communities by
providing decent housing and a suitable living environment and by expanding economic
opportunities, principally for low and moderate income persons.
307 - Proposition "A" Fund: This fund is used to account for allocations received from the 1/2%
transactions and use tax imposed by Proposition "A" (San Diego Transportation Improvement
Program Ordinance) originally passed by the voters in San Diego County in November 1987 and
renewed by voters in November 2004. These funds are restricted for construction of
transportation infrastructure projects. In order to receive these funds, the City must spend local
discretionary funds for transportation infrastructure projects in an amount not less than the
average expenditures from FY 01-03, adjusted every three years by the Caltrans Construction
Cost Index. In FY09, the City entered into a five year Commercial Paper loan with SANDAG. This
Commercial Paper loan allowed the City to receive five years of future SANDAG (locations in
advanced to fund street projects throughout the City. The FY10 estimate is a one time funding of
President Obama's stimulus package. Future allocations of Proposition "A" funds will be used to
pay the debt service on the loan.
312 STP Local Transnet Highway Fund: this fund is used to account for funds received from the
San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) for TransNet projects.
323 Safe Routes to Schools Grant
325 Development Impact Fees Fund
326 Transportation Development Impact Fee Fund (TDIF)
4 of 9
345 Traffic Congestion Relief Fund; This fund is used for the maintenance, rehabilitation and
reconstruction of transportation related Capital Projects; specifically pertaining to local streets
and roads
346 - Prop 1B Fund
511 - Tax Increment Fund: This fund is used to account for the City's redevelopment and
economic development programs. The goal of these programs is to create vibrant, sustainable
districts by eliminating blighted appearance through strategic planning and implementing
revitalization programs in targeted areas. It is funded through a transfer of tax increment
revenues from the CDC Debt Service Fund.
629 - Information Systems Maintenance Fund: This fund is used to account for the costs
associated with maintaining the City's technology infrastructure. Costs are allocated based on the
number of personal computers assigned to each division.
630 - Office Equipment Depreciation Fund: This fund is used to account for the replacement of
computer hardware and software. Costs are allocated based on the number of personal
computers assigned to each division.
631 - Telecommunications Revolving Fund: This fund is used to account for the costs of
maintaining the City's telephone system. Costs are allocated based on the number of telephone
lines utilized by each division.

Report Summary
Updating the Records Management and Retention Program and the resulting disposal of
hundreds of boxes of outdated unnecessary documents as well as the introduction and
expansion of technology as a records management tool all combine to maximize limited
resources in manpower and space while expanding and speeding up record retrieval
capabilities and limiting potential future liability and retrieval cost. It also allows for the
off -site storage of vital records and documents to protect against natural and man-made
disasters; the benefits of which could prove immeasurable.

Report Summary
The Development Services Department provides comprehensive land use and
development services to both the public and to the City. The Department is organized
into three administrative divisions: Planning, Building and Engineering. In July 2009 the
Planning & Building Departments was merged with the Engineering Department to
create the Development Services Department. The merging of the three Departments
allowed for streamlining the development activities as well as implementing a "one -stop"
permitting counter for development services. This merge has resulted in substantial cost
savings by
• Reducing the number of department directors from three to one
• Eliminating duplicate and inefficient activities
• Providing cross training to staff where it is possible to reallocate resources where
they are most needed and therefore increasing the overall efficiency of the new
department.
• Promoting cost recovery: since the department merge, all department staff
submits a labor distribution with their timesheets. This allows the department to
insure staff charges are made to proper sources (other than general fund) such as
capital projects, CDBG, T&A, CUP, etc. and as such relieving General Funds of
staff charges.
Partnership with Chula Vista
In 2007-2008 the City took on the $8million resurfacing program. This was a tremendous
undertaking as the City had never done such a program before. Staff was aware that they
needed to bring in additional assistance to manage the delivery of the program. At that
same time the City of Chula Vista was going through layoffs and staff reductions. It
appeared that the two cities could help each other. Therefore, City of National City
Engineering Department invited the Chula Vista staff to also provide proposals to provide
staffing for our construction projects. City of Chula Vista provided winning proposals
and through the effort of the attorneys of both cities, cooperative agreements were drafted
that allowed Chula Vista staff serve as consultants to National City. This was a very
successful program and Chula Vista staff continued to serve as consultants through 2010
on a variety of construction projects for National City. The collaboration of the two cities
continues to serve as a model of cooperation and win -win programs for the County and
the State.

Use of Rubberized Asphalt Concrete (RAC)
The Engineering Division has begun utilizing Rubberized Asphalt Concrete (RAC). It
offers a number of benefits compared to conventional asphalt concrete paving. These
benefits include longer service life, dark color retention, and significantly reduced road
noise due to vehicular traffic. RAC is more resistant to cracking and lowers maintenance
costs. It is also safer by providing superior wet traction and greater skid resistance.
Moreover, RAC is a far superior product from an environmental stand point as it uses
used recycled rubber as a primary material source and as such contributes to the recycling
effort. National City has been one of the pioneers in San Diego County for the use of
RAC and continues to benefit from the long term cost savings of this product while
helping the environment.
Street Resurfacing Program
Since 2007 with the support of Mayor and council, the City of National City has taken on
a very proactive resurfacing program. The nature of pavement maintenance is such that
the cost of maintenance goes up exponentially as pavements begin to deteriorate. By
being proactive about pavement resurfacing the City is making a prudent long term
investment while allowing the residents to enjoy the benefits of good roads. In order to
put together the program, the City has taken advantage of available financing means (
burrowing against SANDAG Transnet streams, participating in SANDAG commercial
paper program, etc.) to put together and implement the program. Also since 2007, due to
economic downturn, there has been a remarkable decline in bid costs. In summary, by
taking a long term approach to pavement management, and by taking advantage of low
bid environment and financing tools, the City of National City was able to achieve cost
savings by maximize the befits of every dollar that was spent on the pavement
resurfacing program for the benefit of its residents.

Report Summary
In 2006, the Community Development Commission operations merged with the City of
National City. As part of the merger, CDC Finance staff was absorbed with the City's
Finance Department and the staffing level increased from 13 to 18. With the merger,
finance has successfully integrated the City and CDC's financial systems and we are
working towards consolidating funds to promote workload efficiencies. To further
promote efficiencies, the purchasing function was moved to the Finance Department and
the Purchasing Agent position was left vacant and unfunded.
In 2010, the Finance Department has worked with the Development Services Depaitinent
to refinance its commercial paper loan with SANDAG. With that refinance, the street
program's cash flows increased by a minimum of $723,600 up to $1,621,380 annually.
We have also refinanced the Certificates of Participation for the Police Facility and it
allowed for a savings to the General Fund of $137,000. Finance is continuing to evaluate
the City and CDC's debts to ensure that we realize the savings.

The Housing and Grants Division of the Community Development Department was
created on July 1, 2008 to serve the citizens of National City by addressing a variety of
housing and community needs. Housing and community development programs are
implemented through the administration of the Federal Section 8 Rental Assistance
Program (1,044 Vouchers), HOME Investment Partnerships Program, and the
Community Development Block Grant Program. The City of National City also utilizes
20 percent of the Redevelopment Agency's annual tax increment to facilitate the creation
and preservation of affordable housing units. Other federal, state, and private funds are
also leveraged to further develop and preserve affordable housing and provide for
services to low and moderate income residents, neighborhoods, and targeted
redevelopment areas of the City. These programs assist in securing National City's fiscal
sustainability for the future as well as creating jobs and revenue for the region and state.
Currently entitlement grant revenue from Housing and Grants Division activities yield
the CDC and City more than $11.08 million annually. Since 2006, grant revenue has
allowed the City of National City to continue to invest in affordable housing programs
and projects such as:
Plaza Apartments — In consideration for a $3,422,000, Willows Partners developed a
four-story senior only property consisting of eighty units located at 1535 East Plaza

in the amount of $810,000 in favor of the CDC.

Report Summary
When National City voters approved a 1 % sales tax increase in 2006, National City Public Library
had reinstated its business hours - which were cut down to 4 days — to 6 days. In August 2008, the
library expanded its hours to include Sundays, allowing residents to prevail of library services 7
days a week. In addition to expanded hours, the library has also implemented new programs,
making it a thriving community place buzzing with activities, where residents from all walks of life
can come every day to learn, use resources, or just simply enjoy programs. As library usage has
been soaring due to the economy crisis, libraries nationwide unfortunately have been forced to face
cutbacks and closures. National City Library, through transformative measures targeting process
streamlining, staff reallocation and cross -training, volunteer recruitment, and network building, has
managed to stave off layoffs and closures — until very recently - to maintain its vitality and protect
its most requested services. Through its entire budget squeeze, National City Public Library
continues to offer high quality service, and best of all, FREE service across the board. Being named
as one of the 16 California's "Star American Libraries" simply tells its own story and achievements.

Summary Report
National City Public Works has been working diligently to reach our goal of fiscal
sustainability. We have taken several steps to cut operations and maintenance costs,
improve efficiency and increase of productivity. We have reorganized our staff as well as
lessen the levels of management by combining supervisor positions saving the general
fund tens of thousands of dollars each year. We have work with our vendors, contractors
and consultants to keep the cost of doing business the same with no increase as well as
not increasing sewer and trash rate to our citizens. Public Works consists of Street
Maintenance, Wastewater Maintenance, Facilities Maintenance, Equipment Maintenance
and Parks Maintenance and our mission is to maintain and manage the City's
infrastructure, parks, street trees and open spaces, all City owned public buildings and
rolling stock including general purpose vehicles, police units and fire apparatus. We
provide for public safety by developing and managing the Refuse Enterprise Budget,
maintaining and sweeping streets and alleys, drainage ways, and maintaining our sewer
collection system as well as providing for transportation and treatment of sewage at San
Diego's Point Lorna treatment plant.

• Work with San Diego and the Navy to have San Diego bill them directly and
return sewer capacity of 0.782 MGD, (Million gallons per day) back to National
City at a value of $1,000,000. (Audit for 04,05,06,07 & 08 funds received 2010)
• Work with San Diego to review Sewer billing formula saving the National City
approximately $500,000 per year in sewer transportation fees. (2008 to present)
Significant programs:
• Comprehensive energy retrofit program to upgrade aging facilities which
includes, but not limited to energy -efficient lighting, boiler and chiller
replacement, cooling tower, HVAC retrofit, solar thermal installation for
municipal pool, building automation system and streetlight retrofit. This will
lower operating cost and improve energy efficiency. Estimated savings for the
first year is $116,499. See attached. (March 2010)
• Sanitary Sewer Management Plan, (SSMP) and State Discharge Requirement,
(WDR) to comply with State of California Water Resources Control Board Order
No. 2006-003 and R9-2007-005. (November 2007)
• Sanitary Sewer Master Plan to perform an inflow and infiltration analysis and
update the City's Sanitary Sewer System Master Plan. (March 2009)
• Sewer Service Rate study and Sewer Reserve Policy in process and scheduled to
be completed this fiscal year. (scheduled to be completed June 2011)
Significant achievements:
• Replace aging street sweeper with Regenerative Air Sweeper which fully
complies with air quality standards by decreasing emissions, capturing and
recycling contaminated air created during street sweeping, and lowing our carbon
footprint. (April 2009)

Significant achievements continued:
• Replacing 4 older inefficient pool vehicles with hybrid type vehicles. (May 2008)
• Consolidation of both the Civic Center vehicle fleet and the Public Works fleet
into a single pool for each area. The result were overall savings in fuel and
maintenance costs, extending useful life of the fleet, lowering our carbon foot
print and making more vehicles available to every employee. (March 2009)
• Improve fleet by replacing or retrofitting our out dated, gross polluting vehicles to
comply with State and County air quality standards bring National City into full
compliance. (December 2009)
• Complete retrofit of sewer and storm drain pumping stations. (May 2008)
• Re -permitting Emergency Generator in City Hall saving replacement costs of over
$100,000,000. (December 2007)
• Manage Sewer Service Fee Tax Roll administration with annual revenue of
approximately $800,000,000. (yearly since 2004)
• Sewer Service Fees for National City citizen have remained the same since 2005.
Working directly with the Metro Wastewater Joint Powers Authority and the City
of San Diego auditing their billing formula and flow amounts used to calculate the
fees charged to National City by San Diego for the treatment of our sewage we
have managed to avoid rate increase. (June 2005 to present)
• As part of the Honeywell energy retrofit we have changed our street lighting from
sodium to induction lighting saving the city approximately $40,000 a year in
electricity costs. We have also applied for $38,600 in Energy efficiency rebates
from SDG&E (January 2011)

Currently tax revenue and grant receipts from Redevelopment Division activities yield
the CDC and City more than $1.4 million annually. Operational costs are $408,000
annually. This positive cash flow from Division operations allows us to invest in
redevelopment and economic development projects even beyond CIP allocations. These
projects assist in securing National City's fiscal sustainability for the future as well as
creating jobs and revenue for the region and state.
Significant cost cutting or savings:
Five Year Operations cost-cutting: 43-percent
• Salaries**: 35-percent reduction
Division personnel reductions have been as follows:
➢ FY06: 7.2 fulltime employees

Significant cost cutting or savings continued:
• Expert and Consultant Services:
These are project -based costs. Efficiencies have been created by the Division
through increased use of in-house resources post -merger and more vigorous
consultant negotiations based on economic conditions. As prior to the merger, we
continue to competitively recruit all services. Recent reductions in these costs are
not reported as they are not "cost-cutting" but rather a reflection of a slow real

Significant cost cutting or savings continued:
* Reorganization accounting changes highly affect this category, however the
summary savings over the five year period is believed to be "real": Note: A
small amount of these savings are related to the merger, such as Public Works
Department maintaining CDC properties. Most of these savings reflect actual
cost-cutting within the Division.

• Auto Allowances:
Middle managers in the CDC, prior to merger, were provided an auto allowance
of $200/month. I am unable to track through the budgets the auto allowance costs
allocated to the Division, however the estimated annual savings from removing
this benefit is at least $4,800 per year based on Division middle managers. There
are additional savings in Redevelopment and CDC -wide due to the attrition of the
Deputy Director positions and Economic Development Division.

excluded from this report.
Significant Revenue Enhancement Efforts: Project specific revenue:
The Redevelopment Division exists for four primary purposes:
1) Improve the community (economically, environmentally, and socially)
through real estate projects;
2) Increase municipal revenues through real estate projects;
3) Improve community image and encourage private investment; and
4) Be an integral part of the City team, supporting efforts of the City
Manager and Executive Director through the use of talents, resources,
and professional practices.
Due to risks inherent to real estate development, some redevelopment efforts will
fail. Most costly in this regard over the past five years are the foreclosure of the
Centro condominium project ($2.5 million) and the withdrawal of the Home
Depot project (no actual loss, but loss of projected revenue). Both of these
projects were lost due to the national recession. It should be noted that a
significant property tax increase from the Centro project has been realized despite
the foreclosure. (This number has been requested from HdL but was not received
in time to submit with this report.)
Marina Gateway (including Pier 32): A $2.4 million net investment in property
tax increment yielded a $61 million project, now complete, that is generating
$772,000 annually in redevelopment and municipal tax revenues beginning in
Calendar year 2010, impacting FY 2011 and the future.

Proposition D
(This proposition will appear on the ballot in the following form.)
PROP D
Shall an ordinance be approved imposing a one
percent Transactions and use tax (a sales tax) for up
to 10 years for City services, facilities and
programs?
This proposition requires approval by a simple majority (over 50%) of the voters.
Full text of this proposition
follows the arguments.
CITY ATTORNEY IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS
Ballot Proposition "D" proposes to raise revenue for general purposes for the City of National City
by authorizing a one percent transaction and use tax (commonly referred 10 as a "sales tax")
within the City of National City. The one percent tax would be paid in addition to current sales
taxes and would be collected at the same time and in the same manner as existing sales taxes.
California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 7285.9 authorizes the City Council to levy a
transaction and use tax at a rate of 0.25 percent or a multiple thereof, provided the tax is
approved by a majority of the voters voting in an election on that issue. If approved, the tax would
go into effect October 1, 2006 (the "Operative Date").
Proposition 'D" states that the one percent sales tax is to be used "for City services, facilities and
programs." Because this sales tax would be a 'general tax,' the tax would go into the City's
general fund and could be used for any legal municipal purpose. The City would not be legally
bound in any way to use the tax monies for any special purpose or for any particular services,
facilities or programs.
The authority to levy the tax imposed by Proposition "D" would expire ten years from the
Operative Date, unless the City Council prior to that date determines that the levy and collection
of the tax is no longer necessary, in which case the City Council has the authority to reduce the
rate of tax, or terminate the imposition of the tax.
Proposition "D" provides that every five years the Mayor, with the approval of the City Council,
shall appoint an independent committee comprised of three experts in financial matters, who will
report their recommendation to the Mayor and City Council as to whether the transaction and use
tax should remain in effect at the rate of one percent, or whether the City Council should reduce
the rate of tax or terminate the imposition of the tax.

ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF PROPOSITION D
• Proposition "D' is to raise the sales tax to cover the City General Fund $6.7 million shortfall
• Every resident from senior citizens, students to infants would be affected by the outcome of
this proposition
• The sales tax will automatically expire in ten years
• National City residents have continually stated that public safety is their number N1 priority
• 72% of the total National City General Fund budget is given to the police and lire department
WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE "YES" ON D
• If Proposition 1D" does not pass the following will happen:
• The City will be required to reduce their general fund budget by 20%
• The Police Department and Fire Department will be required to terminate employees to
reach the 20% cut
• The Fire Department will not be able to adequately man the Euclid Street Fire Station
• The response time by the Police and Fire Department will be greatly reduced
• The new Public Library will be required to terminate employees and be forced to close more
days
WHAT IS TAXED AND WHAT IS NOT TAXED
• No tax on medicine, non -prepared food (groceries), rent, mortgage, utilities or properly tax
• Per Slate Law no new tax on car, motorcycle, boat or plane sales made 10 consumers from
outside the city, but residents pay
• Car dealerships will pay taxes on all vehicle repair and pans sold
NATIONAL CITY RESIDENTS WILL NOT BE REQUIRED TO COVER 100% OF SHORTFALL,
• Projections show that one-half to two thirds of the tax will be paid by non -National City
residents who purchase merchandise in the City
WHY THE SHORTFALL
• The Stale of California keeps millions of dollars in revenue (to help balance their budget)
that should be returned to the City
• Larger mandatory employee pension contribution than expected

ARGUMENT AGAINST PROPOSITION D
What?! Another tax increase?
We've already voted down this lax once before. But the politicians won't listen,
They're trying AGAIN to raise taxes, and this lime we're being told that essential police and fire
services may be cut! But we're ALREADY paying for public safety!
In 1993 we voters approved Prop. 172, a sales tax tor public safety funding. According to the
Union -Tribune, National City collects about $7.75 MILLION annually in sales tax for ''local public
safety protection and improvement." Where's THAT money, now that we need it??
Much of this regressive tax will fall on the backs of our poorer citizens. That's unfair!
If this tax passes, National City will charge the Jtiohest sales tax in the county. To avoid this tax,
National City citizens will tend to buy goods outside their own city, and county consumers will
lend to avoid National City as a place to shop or visit. That means more closed local businesses
and more lost jobs.
Citizens of National City will pay an additional one percent on any taxable item they buy locally.
But the National City car dealers' customers who live outside National City will NOT pay the
higher lax, due to slate law. That's unfair!
Read the measure carefully. Though the tax hikers claim that the tax increase will be used for
vital city services, there is NO LEGAL REQUIREMENT that the money be spent that way. None!
Voters are supposed to trust National City politicians to do the right thing. And not only today's
politicians, but all the city politicians for the next 10 years while the fax is being collected. Bad
idea!
If you think that your saxes are already too high, or even just high enough, you should vote NO on
this tax increase,
Reject This tax!
