Measure K oversight committee reports $55.5M in revenue to date; committee praises public‑safety allocations
Summary
The Measure K oversight committee presented its FY24‑25 annual report, saying the 1% sales‑tax measure has generated about $55.5 million to date with $11.1 million spent in FY24‑25 and highlighting law‑enforcement and fire‑district staffing and enforcement results supported by the funds.
The Measure K Citizens Oversight Committee presented its fourth annual report to the Yuba County Board of Supervisors on Sept. 23, detailing revenues and expenditures from the 1% public‑safety sales tax and concluding the board’s allocations are consistent with the measure and county ordinance.
Fred Morozinski, the oversight committee’s continuing chairman, told the board Measure K has generated approximately $55,500,000 to date and that $11,100,000 was expended in fiscal year 2024–25. He said roughly $8.4 million of that went to county programs and another $2.7 million to nine independent fire districts. “While Measure K is a general tax measure, the board’s continued commitment to public safety…is reflected in the allocation of these funds,” Morozinski said.
Morozinski highlighted law‑enforcement results the committee reviewed, including growth in METU (marijuana eradication) seizures and narcotics‑enforcement figures. He told the board METU seized approximately 111,000 marijuana plants in 2024 and that narcotics‑related enforcement supported by Measure K produced hundreds of arrests and large drug‑seizure quantities.
Board members thanked the committee for its work, noted local impacts such as more deputies on patrol in hill areas and improved equipment for fire districts, and encouraged filling a current vacancy on the oversight committee. The board accepted the report.
