SDCTA SUPPORTS the Oceanside Sales Tax (November 2018)
The City of Oceanside faces a structural deficit despite maintaining healthy reserve levels, implementing a wide variety of cost-cutting measures to address increasing service costs, and proactively implementing pension reform. This sales tax proposal includes a variety of measures that will help ensure transparency and accountability to Oceanside residents, including identified needs, a specified time limit, and an independent oversight committee which must make a finding that the City has spent funds in accordance with the measure before any renewal of the tax is considered.
