MEASURE K FUND – Voter Approved ½-Cent General Sales Tax

In November 2016, City voters approved a twenty-year ½-cent general sales tax to invest in the on-going maintenance, upgrade or replacement of the City’s infrastructure. While there is technically no restriction on the use of Measure K funds because it is a general sales tax, the City Council and City voters have expressed strong support for the utilization of Measure K funds for the construction and operation of a new City library, as well as the on-going enhancement of City streets, storm drain facilities, and bike/pedestrian facilities. Over the next 2-year budget period, a total of $5,535,000 in Measure K funds or Measure K financed bond revenue are planned to be expended, including $1,991,089 programmed for the City’s Street Resurfacing Program, $968,000 for Storm Drain Improvement Program, $940,100 for the Pedestrian and Bicycle Program, $940,811 for the Contra Costa Boulevard Improvement Project (Viking to Harriet) and $695,000 in Library Maintenance.  .  ​​​​
