On November 4, <br />2014, Measure HH, a half-cent sales tax was approved by more than 60% of City voters, to <br />extend Measure Z at the new half-cent rate for 30 years. The ballot language assured voters that <br />Measure HH receipts, which expire March 31, 2045, would provide revenues to cover vital City <br />services (see table below), be subject to annual audits and reviewed by a citizens oversight <br />committee, see Table 1 on Attachment 1. <br />Measure HH replaced Measure Z effective April 1, 2015. The attached table reflects pre-Measure <br />Z cost cutting proposals, which were avoided due to the passage of Measure Z and Measures <br />HH, OO, PP and NN.
