Ballot Measure(s)
Measure J
On August 5th, the Milpitas City Council unanimously placed Measure J – the City of Milpitas Public Services Reauthorization Measure – on the November 2024 ballot. If reauthorized, Measure J does not raise tax rates and continues the existing voter-approved 1/4-cent sales for 8 years, to maintain Milpitas’ local services and quality of life.
By law, Measure J funding is locally controlled, cannot be taken by Sacramento, and is required to be spent to benefit Milpitas residents.
Measure J Presentation
Vote Yes or No.
City of Milpitas Public Services Reauthorization Measure.
To maintain fiscal stability and essential City services, including 911 emergency response, police and fire protection; repairing streets/fixing potholes; tracking/investigating crime; addressing homeless encampments/affordable housing needs; natural disaster/emergency preparation; maintaining neighborhood parks/public infrastructure, shall the measure continuing the existing voter-approved ¼-cent sales tax be adopted, providing approximately $7,000,000 annually for eight additional years, requiring independent audits, public disclosure, and all funds controlled locally?
Measure Q
MUSD is facing a $2 million deficit due to cuts in state and federal funding. Programs that were created with COVID resources and one-time funding, such as advanced college prep and technology courses, support for struggling students and those with special needs and healthcare professionals – such as health clerks and mental health counselors – are in jeopardy of being discontinued.
