    State Propositions

    Proposition 98 Government Acquisition, Regulation of Private Property
    Bars state and local governments from condemning or damaging private property for private uses. Prohibits rent control and similar measures. Prohibits deference to government in property rights cases. Defines "just compensation." Requires an award of attorneys fees and costs if a property owner obtains a judgment for more than the amount offered by the government. Requires government to offer to original owner of condemned property the right to repurchase property at condemned price when property is put to substantially different use than was publicly stated. Summary of estimate by Legislative Analyst and Director of Finance of fiscal impact on state and local government: Increased costs to many governments due to the measure's restrictions. The fiscal effect on most governments probably would not be significant.

    Proposition 99 Eminent Domain. Acquisition of Owner-Occupied Residence
    Bars state and local governments from using eminent domain to acquire an owner-occupied residence, as defined, for conveyance to a private person or business entity. Creates exceptions for public work or improvement, public health and safety protection, and crime prevention. Summary of estimate by Legislative Analyst and Director of Finance of fiscal impact on state and local government: The measure would likely not have a significant fiscal impact on state or local governments.

    Local Measures

    Measure F Utility Users Tax Extention -- Alameda County (Majority Approval Required)
    Shall an ordinance be approved to extend until 6/30/2021 the existing Utility Users Tax, collected only in the unincorporated areas (e.g., Ashland, Castro Valley, Cherryland, Fairview, San Lorenzo, Sunol), which may fund County services, including services to unincorporated areas (e.g., Sheriff, Library, Planning and Code enforcement), establishing the rate of 6.5% and further amending the tax to include video and cable services, repeal limitations on taxes paid by nonresidential users, and making clarifying and administrative changes.

    Measure H Temporary Emergency 4-Year Parcel Tax -- Alameda Unified School District (2/3 Approval Required)
    To offset severe state budget cuts to Alameda schools, minimize school closures, and protect the quality of education, student safety, class sizes, excellent teachers and staff and to restore prioritized cuts to music, athletics, advanced placement courses, shall Alameda Unified School District levy a temporary, 4-year emergency tax of $120 per residential parcel and 15 cents per square foot for commercial/industrial parcels (see the voter pamphlet), with exemptions for seniors, citizen oversight and all funds staying local?

    Measure I School Safety and Construction Bond Measure -- Hayward Unified School District (55%)
    To improve safety and learning by construction, furnishing and equipping school facilities; reconstruction, rehabilitating, or replacing deteriorating schools; providing security systems, new or modernized permanent classrooms, land for construction, wireless technology, access for individuals with disabilities, and to qualify for state matching funds, shall the Hayward Unified School District issue $205 million in bonds not to exceed maximum legal interest, with independent citizen oversight, annual audits, and no money for administrators' salaries.

    Measure J Telephone Utility User Tax Modernization -- City of Oakland (Majority Approval Required)
    Without raising current tax rates, shall Oakland's existing telephone utility user tax be modernized so that tax payers are treated equally regardless of technology used?

    Measure K Public Safety Services Tax Extension -- City of Union City (2/3 Approval Required)
    Shall the existing Public Safety Services Tax be extended and enhanced to expire in twenty years, with adjusted tax rates and an annual adjustment cap of 3%, in order to fund current and expanded police and fire protection services, youth violence prevention and intervention programs and services, and emergency preparedness supplies and services, in Union City?
