File Number: 17-610 <br />On July 7, 2014, City Council approved ballot language on the November 4, 2014 ballot that <br />replaced the Measure Z ordinance, which was expiring in March 2018, and extended a ½ cent <br />rate for 30 years. The basis of this initiative is the provision of services and infrastructure which <br />will deteriorate unless additional funds are available to the City. A scientific survey conducted by <br />Godbe Research predicted the strong support for the new initiative as long as it supports the <br />following services provided by the City: <br />·Maintain 9-1-1 emergency response times <br />·Maintain neighborhood patrol officers <br />·Maintain library programs for children, adults & families <br />·Enhance anti-gang and law enforcement efforts <br />·Maintain fire prevention services <br />·Repair potholes/cracks, maintaining residential streets <br />·Maintain investigation & gang suppression officers <br />The Committee endorsed these taxes which are expected to generate an additional $1.5 million <br />per year. The services listed above have all been maintained or enhanced with the support of <br />Measure OO, PP, and NN. <br />Committee Review and Action <br />The Measure HH, OO, PP and NN Citizens Oversight Committee met on September 19, 2017, to <br />review the performance, the adopted budget and to advance the report for City Council approval. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />Attachment 1, Tables and Chart <br />Attachment 2, Ballot Measure <br />PREPARED BY: David Baum, Director of Finance, Finance Department <br />Page 6 City of San Leandro Printed on 10/30/2017 <br />119
