Milpitas seeks to extend a quarter-cent tax measure to secure $7 million annually for city services until 2037, addressing budget deficits and public safety needs.
A city committee advises on tax funding, ensuring that locally controlled funds enhance services like 911 emergency response, parks, and infrastructure maintenance for Milpitas residents.
Survey results showed half of Milpitas residents support tax extension, prioritizing funding for public safety, street repairs, and maintenance of the city’s parks and facilities.
Firefighters and police associations emphasize that extending the tax is vital to maintain rapid response times for emergencies, which are crucial for protecting the community.
