Fiscal Year 2024-25 Supplemental Budget
Local Revenue Measure
The Local Revenue Measure (LRM) is a 1.5 percent local sales tax approved by City voters in November
2020 that went into effect on April 1, 2021. It replaced the previous .5 percent local sales tax approved
by City voters in November 2006. The revenue provided by this measure has become instrumental in
maintaining public infrastructure and delivering critical operating programs to address emerging needs
identified by the community.
Local Revenue Measure Ballot Language (G-20)
“To protect City of San Luis Obispo’s financial stability; ma intain fire/community safety, health
emergency/disaster preparedness; protect creeks from pollution; address homelessness; keep public
areas clean/ safe; retain local businesses; maintain youth/senior services, streets, open space/natural
areas, and other general services, by extending voter- approved funding at a 1.5¢ rate, providing
approximately $21,600,000 annually until ended by voters; requiring audits/ all funds used locally ”
Table 5.1. Budget by Priority
The table above represents Local Revenue Measure contributions to each priority. These priorities also
receive funding from other sources including the General Fund and certain enterprise funds.
Changes from Financial Plan
The priority allocations above reflect the community ’s feedback from development of the 2023-25
Financial Plan. Changes to recommended operating budget allocations since plan development are
driven by typical year to year changes in salaries and benefits and employee turnover. Changes to Capital
Improvement Program (CIP) budget allocations are based on a true-up of programming to a realistic level
based on available financial and staff resources.
Detailed changes to budget allocations are listed in the tables below.

Table 5.2. Changes from Financial Plan
Note: Negative numbers in the “Supplemental Budget” column below represent re-allocations of prior
year budget. This happens either when projects can be delivered under budget or when staff have made
the assessment that a project won’t move forward in the next fiscal year and those resources are better
allocated elsewhere.
