The City of Santa Maria came in under budget for the second quarter, as it sees increased revenues and staffing shortages.
A combination of increased revenues and staffing shortages has left the city of Santa Maria with about $2 million more than anticipated at the end of the second quarter.
Sales taxes, as well as licenses and fees also increased to the tune of more than 10%, according to the report. Officials credited that increase to more people continuing to return to pre-pandemic business levels — purchasing more fuel, eating at more restaurants and buying more consumer goods. According to Financial Director Mary Harvey, the Police Department accounts for the largest number of vacancies. Through December, the Santa Maria Police Department has saved $1.2 million in salary and benefits from what was projected. The city jobs website lists openings for both trained officer and trainee positions, as well as a dispatcher position.
The so-called Great Designation, a wave of low- to middle-income workers leaving for more money, has impacted employers around the country, with 6.3 million Americans quitting jobs in November 2021, alone, according to the city's budget report.
