Cities estimate impacts of I-1033

Impacts Using the assumptions outlined in the Office of Financial Management’s (OFM) fiscal impact statement, in addition to some of our own, AWC developed a spreadsheet for cities to use to estimate their individual jurisdiction’s impacts. In building this spreadsheet, AWC worked with a group of finance directors to interpret the language in I-1033 and test the model. The impact model is to intended to provide cities with an idea of the magnitude of change under the initiative, rather than a specific dollar amount.

Cities should note that neither OFM nor AWC is a regulatory agency, and this impact model outlines assumptions for estimating fiscal impacts only. It does not serve as an implementation guide should the initiative pass. Other entities may have differing interpretations of the initiative.

Cities that have estimated the impacts of I-1033 are encouraged to forward that information to Sheila Gall at sheilag@awcnet.org to be included this website.
