Measure F

By Irene M. O'Connell

Candidate for City Council member; City of San Bruno

This information is provided by the candidate
The passage of Measure F is important to the vitality of San Bruno.
The City Council has placed a general-purpose 1/2 cents sales tax measure on the November 6, 2007 ballot. The proposed tax would support general municipal purposes such as maintaining police, fire, paramedic, and disaster preparedness; building a new public library with access for the disabled and space for children's programs; maintaining and improving streets and sidewalks; maintaining and improving recreational facilities and the senior center; and other City needs as designated by the City Council. In a recent community survery, 75% of a representative sample of residents expressed support for the sales tax increase.

The City has successfully dealt with balancing difficult budgets, but faces challenges with the changing needs of the community and aging infrastructure.

The measure calls for a five-member citizen committee to review the expenditures of the tax revenue. If the measure is approved, a committee would be creted by March 18, 2008.

I urge you to vote for Measure F so we may continue to improve and upgrade our aging infrastructure.
