Funding Model 5 - Share of Tax Revenue Growth

Model five uses a fixed proportion of total property taxes to determine Police funding. Police funding would increase by a portion of the property tax volume increase. Under this model, Police funding would typically decrease in most years.

The Police budget would have been lower by $5.6 million if this method was used.

Example

• 1% tax volume increase for the City = $6 million
• Police Budget is around 25% of the total City Budget
• Police would be allocated 25% of tax volume increase
