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. The Board of Supervisors (“Board”) and County staff have conducted study sessions and community outreach efforts to inform priorities for Measure K spending for FY2017-19.
On May 16, 2017, the Board approved the FY 2017-19 Measure K allocation plan in which the County anticipates Measure K receipts of approximately $81.6 million annually. The plan included $7 million in one-time loans or grants during FY 2017-19, divided equally among the five supervisorial districts, for district-specific needs and projects. District 5 has submitted a request to use its district-specific Measure K funds as shown below and described in the Project Summary section of this memorandum:

North Peninsula Food Pantry and Dining Center of Daly City was formed in 1989 as a collaboration between community leaders seeking to provide a food pantry program to those in need of nutritional assistance with a goal of avoiding duplication of services and expenses. The food pantry is primarily funded by donations from the community. Food pantry clients receive a three day supply of nutritionally balanced food products. Food is distributed Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays by appointment. In FY 2016-17, the food pantry provided groceries to 6,500 individuals.
The Dining Center opened in 1992 and averages 70 guests each Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday evening. Meals are purchased primarily from Samaritan House in San Mateo and supplies and beverages are purchased locally. North Peninsula Food Pantry and Dining Center of Daly City is the only evening hot meal site in North San Mateo County.
In 2016-2017, the Dining Center served a total of 15,872 individuals through both programs.
Female: 6,455
Male: 9,417
Under 18: 982
Ages 18-59: 7,845
Ages 60 and over: 7,045
