Measure P:
Delivering on
the Promise
-DAVID GARCIAS, CHAIR
CITIZENS OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE
Chula Vista voters approved Measure P
– a temporary, ten-year, half-cent sales
tax to fund high priority infrastructure
needs. Collection of the sales tax began
April 1, 2017. As of March 2023, the
sales tax has raised $140.1 million in
revenue which has been reinvested into
our City's future.
The City's Infrastructure, Facilities and
Equipment Expenditure Plan has guided
implementation of Measure P sales tax
funds and has been successfully used
to upgrade police, fire, paramedic and
9-1-1 equipment, vehicles and facilities;
fund streets and sidewalks; replace
storm drains to prevent sinkholes;
improve parks; repair recreation
facilities; and repair and replace other
city infrastructure.

funded infrastructure projects that have
benefited our community.
"By successfully leveraging and
investing our Measure P revenue to fund
our priority infrastructure needs, the
City has delivered on their promise to
maintain a stronger, safer Chula Vista
and improving the quality of life for our
residents and visitors. "

Major Projects
FUNDED BY REVENUE GENERATED FROM MEASURE P
$30 million in Measure P funding has facilitated major
rehabilitation of Fire Stations throughout the City-
Including the design and construction of new Fire
Stations 3 and 5 and reconstruction of Fire
Station 1, improving emergency services and
response times in the community.
The Loma Verde Community Center is currently undergoing a $22.5 million renovation. When complete, it will have a new multi-purpose gymnasium, dance rooms, crafts room, fitness room, game room, restrooms, two new pools and splash pad, shower/changing rooms, and classrooms. (Summer 2023)
PUBLIC FACILITY RENOVATIONS
Measure P has funded a multitude of much-
needed upgrades and repairs at Chula Vista's largest
park, covering nearly 60 acres, including reconstruction of the basketball courts, bleachers, picnic benches, and drinking fountains; expansion of ADA access; and new restroom facilities (in progress).
Over 300 residential street segments were in failing condition and required major rehabilitation and repairs at costs
significantly more than typical preventative
maintenance. Measure P funding allowed for
major asphalt replacement and rehabilitation
on these streets placing them into a
sustainable cycle of preventative
maintenance for years to come.
