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 March 9, 2021, and March 23, 2021, the Board of Supervisors (Board) held study sessions on Measure K expenditures and anticipated revenue for fiscal years (FY) 2021-23. The Board-appointed Measure K sub-committee, consisting of Supervisor Pine and Supervisor Canepa, convened the study sessions to, among other things, work with staff to facilitate the Board’s development of Measure K priorities and continuing initiatives for FYs 2021-23. The Board approved $5 million in one-time loans or grants for the FY 2021-23 budget cycle, divided equally among the five supervisorial districts, for district-discretionary needs and projects. District 2 has submitted a request to use their district-discretionary Measure K funds as shown below and described in the Project Summary section of this memorandum:

PROJECT SUMMARY:
This is a request to authorize a grant to the San Mateo County Commission on Disabilities (CoD), in an amount not to exceed $10,000, to support the Annual Inclusion Festival in 2022 and 2023.
The CoD and City of Redwood City host the Annual Inclusion Festival to promote the inclusion of all individuals regardless of ability, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, or age. The CoD plans to use the proposed Measure K funds to serve approximately 450 people with lunch as an incentive for joining the festival. Lunches will be provided by Catering Connection, San Mateo County’s Vocational Rehabilitation Services. The City of Redwood City, Redwood City Parks and Arts Foundation, and Magical Bridge Redwood City handle event set up, logistics, and entertainment.
