Measure 2C would have increased the local property tax by 10 mills over five years with six mills in year one, and one additional mill each of the next four years. The levy would support the city's community centers, pools, parks, transit services and police and fire departments. Without it, city leaders have said that transit services would be slashed including 65,000 hours funded solely by the city.
