BACKGROUND:
Measure K is the half-cent general sales tax initially approved by San Mateo County voters in November 2012 and extended in November 2016 for a total of thirty years.
On February 12, 2019, the Board of Supervisors (Board) held a study session on Measure K expenditures and anticipated revenue for fiscal years (FY) 2019-21. The Board-appointed Measure K sub-committee, consisting of Supervisor Pine and Supervisor Canepa, convened the study session to, among other things; work with staff to facilitate the Board’s development of Measure K priorities and continuing initiatives for FY 2019-21. The Board approved $3.75 million in one-time loans for grants each fiscal year for FY 2019-21, divided equally among the five supervisorial districts, for district-discretionary needs and projects. District Five has submitted a request to use its district-discretionary Measure K funds as shown below and described in the Project Summary section of this memorandum.

This item is consistent with the criteria for district-discretionary Measure K funds approved by the Board in December 2018.
PROJECT SUMMARY:
This is a request to authorize a grant to Ariana Mae Hatami Foundation, and resulting grant agreement, in an amount not to exceed $50,000, to partially fund the production of an educational training film to recognize, prevent, and combat domestic violence. The County Manager’s Office will administer and manage the proposed agreement.
Domestic violence in our community is a disease and clearly underserved with respect to its recognition, prevention and remedy. There are multiple agencies addressing the victims’ needs after the fact. The Ariana Mae Hatami Foundation is focused on prevention through education and this project is designed for the most vulnerable members of our community, our youth population. The project is to produce two educational documentaries, shining a spotlight on many facets of this problem to the younger generation and to victims. The documentary will be made available to the Domestic Violence Prevention-Human Services Department of San Mateo County, as well as to all high schools and community colleges in San Mateo County.
