Isaac Kos-ReadInside Oakland-Oakland's New $20 Million Public Safety Measure
Background: For the last 10 years, through a per parcel tax that is currently just under $100, Measure Y has provided around $20 million annually to fund fire, police, and violence prevention programs in the City of Oakland, around 5% of the total cost of these services. At the end of this year, Measure Y expires, potentially blowing a $20 million hole in the City’s already challenged budget.
Councilmember Lynette Gibson McElhaney (District 3) has stepped up and led a diverse coalition of stakeholders through a process of developing a stronger success measure, which will go before Oakland voters this November.
Come hear from Councilmember McElhaney herself about the new public safety measure and related efforts to address pervasive public safety challenges in Oakland.
