body
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 3 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:

District 3 (Supervisor Don Horsley) - Transfer district-specific Measure K funding to the Department of Public Works for street-end waterfront access improvements in Princeton. |
$60,000 |
This item is consistent with the criteria for district-specific Measure K funds, which were developed during the initial round of district-specific allocations and approved by the Board in April 2015.
PROJECT SUMMARY:
This is a request to authorize a transfer to Department of Public Works, in an amount not to exceed $60,000 towards design, permitting and construction of continued waterfront access improvements at the street-end of Columbia Avenue and Vassar Street in Princeton. The Director of Public Works, or his designee, will oversee the project design and implementation.
One of the goals of Plan Princeton, the County’s effort to update the Princeton land use plan, calls for enhancements to coastal access, recreation, research, and education opportunities. Plan Princeton identifies a number of street-ends, including Columbia Avenue and Vassar Street, as opportunities to improve beach access from the street. Currently, the street-ends consist of unpaved right-of-way.
The pilot Princeton Street-end Waterfront Access Improvement Project will include beach access improvements at the end of Columbia Avenue and Vassar Street in Princeton. The Midcoast Community Council will review the conceptual plans and County staff will gather Council and public input during the project development phase. Adjacent property owners will also be notified in advance of project implementation.
On June 6, 2017, the Board approved an initial allocation of $40,000 for the pilot street-end of Columbia Avenue and West Point Avenue in Princeton. The additional funding will support the completion of Columbia Avenue with the inclusion of Vassar Street.
The Department of Public Works will oversee the permitting, design and construction of street-end improvements in Princeton. The Department of Public Works will receive an addition of $60,000 of Measure K funds towards the pilot Princeton Street-end Waterfront Access Improvement Project.
Total Measure K Request: Not to Exceed $60,000
