Measure MM is a special tax designed to fund Oakland's Vegetation Management Plan, aimed at preventing wildfires in high-risk zones.
The measure requires a two-thirds vote and specifically taxes only property owners within the Wildfire Prevention Zone, with exemptions for very low-income and elderly residents.
Estimate of $2.67 million generated in the first year will support vital initiatives including fire patrols, goat grazing, and public education on wildfire risks.
A community oversight commission will ensure accountability in how funds are used, mandating audits for transparency in managing the tax.
