Rob Leonard, Director Economic Development and Intergovernmental Affairs
Sacramento County is unique among 58 Counties:
◦ Largest “City” in the County◦ Serves urban/suburban population of over
500,000 residents◦ Even with three recent incorporations and another
on the November ballot the County will continue to be largest service provider
◦ Without changes the service delivery model is not sustainable under current economic realities
Sacramento County provides full range of municipal services:◦ Planning◦ Animal Care◦ Regional Parks (local parks are provided by
Special Districts)◦ Transportation◦ Waste Management (both landfill and collections
and recycling)
Sacramento County municipal services provided (continued)
◦ Engineering Services (Building Inspections etc.)◦ Code enforcement◦ Neighborhood Services◦ Environmental Review◦ Water Supply and Drainage◦ Law Enforcement (both patrol and investigative
services)
County is in the urban development business
Currently updating 1993 General Plan which is proposed to open thousands of acres for new development
Without substantial change in direction the County will be in the development and municipal services business for a long time
Competition with cities for development and associated revenues
Existing funding model not sustainable County General Fund support for Animal
Care, Regional Parks, Neighborhood Services, and Planning
Nearly all other services dependent on some development fee or fee revenue for support.
Need to be more creative looking to the future
Service Delivery Models: Functional Consolidation – County and Cities Nonprofits Contract Services
Funding Models: Complete fee review Complete review of development
standards Looking again at funding mechanisms
such as:◦ CSA’s◦ CFD’s◦ Maintenance Districts◦ JPA’s◦ Open Space Districts
Revenue Sharing Annexations and Incorporations
Sacramento County is in transition Current service delivery and funding models
are not sustainable This is a long term issue -- economic
recovery not the answer Must make fundamental shift in business
models Never let a good crisis go to waste
