Negotiated wage increases compounding to 21.5% growth over four years, contributing to a $94.2M net position cost increase; b. Higher mortgage rates suppressing real estate transactions and property tax growth; c. Sluggish Measure X sales tax growth projected at 1.6%. 3. Necessary technology replacements for Property Tax and Assessment systems and personnel and payroll systems. 4. Risk of reduced or no FEMA reimbursement after major emergencies. 5.
