Pleasanton General Plan Fiscal Impact Analysis <br /> Final Report 01/16/14 <br /> Role of State Budget <br /> Pleasanton's General Fund is affected by the State budget and how lawmakers in Sacramento <br /> address their fiscal challenges. In the past, State lawmakers have targeted cuts in a number of <br /> local (city and county) programs and revenues as well as a transfer of traditionally State <br /> responsibilities to local bodies (e.g., "realignment"). <br /> Over the last several years, State budget has been contracting. As a result, a number of cost <br /> cutting measures have been implemented. These measures include cuts to public schools, <br /> community colleges, libraries and certain social programs. In addition, recent run ups in pension <br /> costs have caused substantial increases in local government expenditures. <br /> Economic&Planning Systems, Inc. 11 P:\121000\121062Pleasanton\Report\121062Report_FINAL.doc <br />
