SUMMARY

 

In 2014, the voters of the City of Hayward approved a ½ cent district sales tax (Measure C), which is a general tax that can pay for any services within the City’s General Fund.  However, when the Council placed the measure on the ballot in 2014, they identified several priorities for the use of these funds based on issues identified by the community:  police and public safety services; illegal dumping; litter control; graffiti abatement; and capital infrastructure projects.  The prioritized capital projects identified were the construction of the City’s new 21st Century Library and Community Learning Center, completion of fire station retrofits and improvements, rehabilitation and expansion of the existing fire training center located at Fire Station 6, as well as extensive street improvements.  This report outlines progress made on Measure C projects to date as well as current financial projections for the funds.
