Measure Z 5-Year Spending Plan

Measure Z took effect April 1, 2017, and helped to restore many critical services eliminated in June 2016, and enhance other critical unfunded needs, such as first responder staffing and vehicles, road and tree maintenance, and building repair and maintenance. By increasing the City’s sales tax rate by 1%, Measure Z generated more than $83.6 million in revenues in Fiscal Year 2024/25. Funding from debt (with payments scheduled to be paid by Measure Z) provides additional resources for immediate unfunded needs, including safety vehicles and building construction.
