The San Mateo County Board of Supervisors at Tuesday’s priority-setting study session passed on accepting a recommendation that Measure A sales tax revenue be spent on new initiatives falling into one of five targeted areas, instead preferring to take a step back and review funding more holistically.
The San Mateo County Board of Supervisors on a 4-1 vote today approved approximately $5 million in safety renovations and upgrades at the Maguire Correctional Facility – changes that include an eventual move toward all-video visitation of inmates and alignment with the systems to be used at the soon-to-open new county jail.
With more than 300 requests seeking a portion of the county’s approximately $30 million in Measure A sales tax revenue available for new initiatives, the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday will discuss their funding priorities.
