BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
On November 3, 2015, South San Francisco voters approved a half-cent sales tax by an overwhelming majority. The adoption of Measure W ensures that the City of South San Francisco will be able to maintain and enhance locally controlled City services that the community cares about and has come to expect - including neighborhood police patrols, 911 response, programs for seniors & disabled residents, crime and gang suppression programs, street maintenance and pothole repair, youth/teen educational and recreational programs, a police operations center that meets earthquake safety codes, and other essential city services.
The voter-approved half-cent sales tax (Measure W) went into effect on April 1, 2016. Since that time, the sales tax proceeds have been accounted for separately from the City's General Fund to track the commensurate revenues and expenditures.
Major projects currently funded by Measure W are:
1. Community Civic Campus Program - (completed)
