The first quarter 2023 sales tax results showed minimal growth for Santa Clara County (+0.2%) and reductions for the City of Morgan Hill (-1.1%) and California statewide (-1.1%). When compared to first quarter 2022, Morgan Hill’s Autos and Transportation State and County Pools, and Restaurant and Hotel industry groups all experienced growth, while it’s Fuel and Service Station, Business and Industry, and Building and Construction groups showed losses. Significant nationwide decreases in the price of gas (20%) and the price of lumber (60%), in addition to a decline in citywide electronic sales, are the main factors behind the City’s negative first quarter sales tax results. However, the top 25 sales tax generating businesses citywide continue to be largely represented by auto dealers, big box retailers, grocery stores, and gas stations.
Statewide, California sales tax results for the 2022/2023 fiscal year are projected to yield a 2.2% growth, where it’s 2023/2024 fiscal year is projecting a 0.7% decrease.

You may have noticed that more and more retail shops have merchandise under lock-&-key and security guards manning the door. A shoplifting epidemic that began as random smash-and-grabs, has now morphed into organized retail crime that is sweeping the nation. According to the National Retail Federation, retail theft is an estimated $100 billion problem, and growing. The challenge, how to fight organized retail crime while keeping consumers and employees safe.
In an effort to stop sales associates from escalating shoplifting instances to violent and potentially fatal situations, the Senate passed SB 553 which prohibits retailers from requiring staff to confront shoplifters. The Bill requires that all employers regardless of size meet workplace violence standards that are even more aggressive than those applied to hospitals. Although many retailers have strict anti-confrontation policies already in place, SB 553 will require employers to provide active shooter training, maintain logs of violent encounters, and manage workplace violence restraining orders.
