Volunteer subcommittee urges board to adopt 2% escalator on Measure G, projecting $238,738 in revenue
Summary
A school support tax advisory subcommittee recommended the board levy Measure G at its maximum for 2026–27, invoking a 2% annual escalator that staff estimate would add about $238,738 to the general fund and raise the per‑parcel levy by roughly $61.
A volunteer advisory subcommittee presented its executive summary and recommended that the district levy Measure G at the maximum authorized level for 2026–27, using the 2% annual escalator the measure permits. The subcommittee’s executive summary summarized staff calculations: using a base of $11,936,901, a 2% escalator would generate approximately $238,738 in additional revenue for 2026–27 and increase the per‑parcel levy by about $61.01, from $3,050.58 to $3,111.59.
The presenter read the subcommittee’s recommendation in the meeting packet and noted the subcommittee urged that the full amount of the increase be allocated to the district general fund. Trustees acknowledged the value of community oversight of parcel taxes and described the subcommittee work as an important accountability step. This item was treated as a first reading and public hearing; no board action was taken at this meeting.
Next steps: because this was a first reading/public hearing, trustees said the item will return for a vote at a future meeting after staff and board review. The board did not adopt the escalator at the meeting.
