Why will Measure C generate debt?
FAQ's
For how long will Measure Cs tax run? Thirty years. Until 2042. How much tax revenue would be raised? An estimated $54 million from taxpayers over 30 years.
Expected future tax revenue (that $54M) from Measure C will be used to purchase bonds today for money today so our city can build now, pay later. And pay we will: bonds nearly double the cost of any project.
Can tax revenue be used on salaries and/or benefits for city employees?
Not directly. Indirectly, the General Fund will be better-positioned to afford the current, exorbitant employee salaries/benefits (because some projects, specifically fire buildings and equipment, will be paid for by Measure C and not out of the GF). Measure C provides for one job position to head up Emergency Services.
