With the city currently receiving about 20 percent less sales tax revenue than it would in a normal year, and Measure C proceeds coming in more than $600,000 below where they were a year ago, the funding – which the city is still waiting to receive – will be used to backfill existing revenue shortfalls and expenditures that the city has already made for COVID compliance and protection.
