Under public safety are options for police and fire department financing options including assessment district, parcel tax or utility tax. Also to be considered is exploring issues associated with contracting such services with another jurisdiction or consolidating police and fire with another jurisdiction.Utility services could see the creation of a joint power authority or another Santa Paula controlled public agency to operate water and refuse operations. Commercial refuse contracts should be negotiated and appropriate fees imposed. All city utilities should have a long-term financing-operation plan and refuse would be the first priority. Citywide electrical cost savings must be explored.When it came to economic development, Bobkiewicz said the council should consider reestablishing the Santa Paula Economic Development Corporation as well as a special events financing/operations plan.“I honestly think we’re very film unfriendly right now and it’s time to reevaluate,” the city’s motion picture and television filming policy and stiff fee structure, noted Bobkiewicz.The council should also evaluate spending of Gas Tax funds and conduct a study for street impact use fees.“We must begin financial planning,” to balance increased costs with lower financial resources, said Bobkiewicz. “Economic revitalization is critical to the future health of the city budget.”
