Argument in Favor of Measure ___
Our community faces critical infrastructure challenges that demand our immediate attention.
Despite our efforts to reduce overall costs, including eliminating non-essential functions and services and reducing staffing costs, we need to raise additional funding to address these specific urgent needs. This measure provides essential funding exclusively for:
• Storm-Drains and Flooding: Our storm drains are over 100 years old, putting us at risk of failure, flooding, and water pollution.
• Potholes and Streets: Our roads are deteriorating, causing damage to vehicles and hindering emergency response. Measure G has provided additional dedicated funding for streets, but it is not enough to address the full need. • Fire Stations and Safety: Our aging fire stations are at risk of failure in earthquakes and natural disasters. Upgrading them is crucial for maintaining our readiness.
The bonds can generate up to $3.3 million annually. No funds will go to administrators, and the State of California cannot touch this money. A citizen oversight committee will ensure transparency and accountability. This measure is supported by a broad coalition of city leaders and residents.
It’s time to invest in our future. Vote YES for a safer, more resilient San Bruno.
