DISCUbSION:
The p rpose and intent of Ordinance 1803 was to provide sufficient utility
user' taxes to insure a reasonable level of revenue for the necessary operation
of th City of Chula Vista. Additionally, the City Council wished to retain
the p ogram of basing the taxation of gas and electricity on units of energy
thus rotecting taxpayers from increases in the tax brought about by rate increases
grant d by the Public Utilities Commission.
Actua utility user's taxes collected in the 1980-81 fiscal year were $1,334,459.
The f'nal projection for 1981-82 is $1,422,980 representing an increase of $88,521.
The p esent tax rate on telephones is 5% and the consumption factor for electricity
is .0 25 and for gas .00919. The recommended rates would be 52% for telephones
and t e consumption factor for electricity would be .00275 and for gas would
be be .01011.
Exhib'ts A & B, attached, show the summary of utility user's tax consumption
and d llar amounts collected for the current fiscal year 1981-82.
