ITEM TITLE: National City Sales Tax Update Newsletter — Fourth Quarter 2013 PREPARED BY: Ed Prendell, Budget Analyst DEPARTMENT: Finance �- PHONE: 619-336-4332 APPROVED BY: EXPLANATION: BACKGROUND National City has an on -going contract with Hinderliter, de Llamas & Associates (HdL) for revenue management. Staff meets with a representative of HdL on a quarterly basis to review sales tax data & trends within the City & Statewide. NEWSLETTER SUMMARY Receipts for National City's October through December sales were 6.1% higher than the same quarter one year ago. Actual sales activity was up 3.1% when reporting aberrations were factored out. Autos and transportation posted a strong quarter from car sales and leases; however, the overall gain was inflated by payment anomalies. General consumer goods experienced a strong sales quarter from multiple categories including family apparel, electronics, and specialty stores. Receipts from restaurants were lifted, in part, by the addition of a new eatery. The food and drugs group also posted positive results. The sales decline from service stations was partially offset by double payments that inflated the current quarter. Correspondingly, onetime payments that boosted the comparison quarter were responsible for temporarily depressing the building and construction sector. Measure "D" generated an additional $2,656,974 in revenue for the quarter, an increase of 6.6% over the same quarter last year. Adjusted for aberrations, taxable sales for all San Diego County increased 3.3% over the comparable time period, while the Southern California region as a whole was up 2.7%.
