Measure Cs opponents are saying Measure C would increase pools maintenance costs by $3.5 million per year, with a further annual increase for inflation. Is this true?
It’s completely false. Measure C provides $980,000 annually for programs, staffing, hours and maintenance, adjusted for inflation, largely to offset projected budget cuts. Measure C’s total expenditure by 2040 is capped at $3.5 million, most of which is the normal repayment of bond principal and interest.
