Background On November 3, 2020, residents of the City of Lake Elsinore voted in favor of Measure Z, a locally controlled one-cent, or one percent, transaction and use tax to generate unrestricted general fund dollars to address City service, public safety, and local recovery needs. The Measure Z Citizen Committee's primary role is to independently review and provide advice and guidance concerning the expenditure of Measure Z revenues. The Committee is tasked with a meeting in a public forum at least twice each calendar year to ensure funding is being used consistently with the community's established goals and needs. Specifically, the Committee must annually review and report on the City's proposed and actual expenditure of proceeds generated by the transactions and use tax, along with reviewing the independent annual audit of those revenues and expenditures prepared by a Certified Public Accounting firm. The Committee's report shall then be submitted to the City Council for review and discussion at a public meeting. Discussion Before the passage of Measure Z, the City engaged residents and businesses as part of its Let's Talk Lake Elsinore campaign to identify the community's needs. Based on this effort and ongoing community opinion surveys, residents identified the following spending priorities:  Preparing for any public health or catastrophic emergency  Having adequate 911 emergency capacity  Continuing to address homelessness and supporting residents and families in transition  Improving fire protection and paramedic services  Keeping public areas safe, healthy, and clean  Continuing law enforcement services, including effectively staffed neighborhood patrols  Supporting residents and local businesses through our local recovery Fiscal Year 2022-23 Measure Z Budget Spending Plan October 13, 2022 Page 2 The City has identified Measure Z projects for the Fiscal Year 2022-23 as outlined in the attached Measure Z Budget Spending Plan based on the priorities identified by the community.
