To preserve public safety, community programs and prevent significant cuts to essential services, by funding general City services including hiring additional police, maintaining anti-gang and graffiti efforts, youth and after-school parks and recreation services, expanding library and parks, fixing City streets, and other essential neighborhood improvements, shall the City sales tax be increased by one cent with annual financial audits, expenditure reports, and financial oversight?
If adopted, Measure “P” will amend the provisions of the Pico Rivera City Code to assess an additional one percent (1%) sales tax to fund general city services, such as the hiring of additional police officers, fix and repair the condition of neighborhood streets and major roads and highways, continue the effort to fight gangs and drugs by expanding neighborhood graffiti removal programs, and appropriate funds for the creation of youth anti-gang and anti-drug prevention programs and after-school tutoring and mentoring programs. If adopted, the funds generated will also be able to be used to be added to monies pledged by the County of Los Angeles to assist in the construction of a high-tech community library for the City of Pico Rivera. The financial impact of this Measure, if approved, would add a one cent increase for every dollar spent in Pico Rivera. Under California law, this one penny could not be charged on prescriptions or food purchased as groceries. A “Yes” vote on Measure “P” supports imposing a one percent (1%) sales tax to generate funds for general city services. A “No” vote on Measure “P” will maintain the current level of the sales tax and no additional revenues will be generated to continue or expand on existing public services.
