Davis’s Measure Q: 1-cent sales tax

Davis voters have approved Measure Q, which would indefinitely extend an existing 1 percent sales tax that was approved in 2014, based on early returns.

As of last Wednesday, Measure Q had won about 80 percent of the vote in early returns.

Isleton’s Measure D: 3/4-cent special sales tax

As of Tuesday afternoon, Measure D — a special 3/4-cent sales tax in Isleton that would go towards funding its fire department — had about 62 percent support, a few percentage points short of passing.

The sales tax would replace an existing half-cent sales tax intended to fund equipment and training for the Isleton Fire Department, a mostly volunteer-operated group.

Under Measure D, the new sales tax would remain in effect for five years and is expected to generate $110,000 annually for the city of Isleton. Because it’s a special sales tax that would be used for a specific purpose, it needs two-thirds of the vote to pass.

The existing sales tax funding the fire department has come under fire in recent weeks, with some residents questioning the lack of accountability over how the half-cent sales tax is being tracked and spent.

The ballot language for Measure D also failed to include key information about the sales tax as required by state law. Isleton later sent out a notice to voters last month after being notified of the omissions by The Sacramento Bee.
