Description

Facing the sunset of Proposition D in 2016, National City requires solutions to mitigate a potential revenue deficit. This report assesses the options available to National City to address this situation. Though the problem is of a very specific and definite nature, the solutions possible are disperse and many times mutually compatible with other solutions. With any budgetary solvency issues, there are multiple methods to correct imbalances. This report is divided into groups of recommendations that provide a broad range of possible actions the City can take to correct potential revenue shortages. The solutions presented in this document can be viewed as increasing revenues, decreasing expenditures, or a combination of both. However, solutions are segregated further into four groups: Revenue, Expenditure, Administration, and Community Improvement.
