TRANSPORTATION AGENCY FOR MONTEREY COUNTY Memorandum | |
| | | | | | | | | To: | Board of Directors | | From: | Theresa Wright, Community Outreach Coordinator | | Meeting Date: | December 7, 2016 | | Subject: | Measure X Election Debrief |
| |
| | | | | | | | | RECOMMENDED ACTION: | | RECEIVE presentation on the November 8, 2016 election results for the Measure X Transportation Safety and Investment Plan and 3/8% sales tax placed on the ballot by TAMC. |
| |
| | | | | | | | | FINANCIAL IMPACT: | | Measure X would raise an estimated $600 million for local transportation improvements over its 30 year lifetime by levying a 3/8% sales tax. This local money would also allow the region to leverage additional state and federal matching funds. |
| |
| | | | | | | | | DISCUSSION: | | Election results were not final by the time the Board agenda was published. As of the latest available reports from the Registrar of Voters, as of November 18, Measure X had 66.95% of the votes counted, just over the required 2/3rd vote necessary for passage; however, over 41,000 votes remained uncounted. Agency staff will present final Measure X election results at the Board of Directors meeting, and information on the relevant next steps. |
