Dear Rancho Cordova Resident,

In response to recent events and the community’s feedback, the Rancho Cordova City Council has placed Measure R, a local recovery and relief ½ cent sales tax, on the November ballot for voter consideration. If enacted, Measure R will provide an estimated $8 million each year to fund community priorities identified by Rancho Cordova residents, including:

Keeping public areas healthy, safe and clean; Repairing city streets and potholes; Ensuring the city is prepared for any natural disaster or health emergency; Supporting programs to attract new businesses and jobs to Rancho Cordova; Helping address homeless issues; Removing blight and revitalizing vacant buildings along commercial corridors.

Funds generated by Measure R would only be used in the City of Rancho Cordova, and Measure R would require annual audits and citizen oversight. 

During these challenging times, Measure R would ensure funds for infrastructure projects, including repairing streets and potholes. Also, this Measure would allow the city to support existing businesses, as well as attract more retail, restaurants and recreation opportunities, to continue making our city a place where all generations want to live and put down roots, even after the crisis is over. For more information about Measure R, visit CityofRanchoCordova.org/MeasureR.

Also on Rancho Cordova’s November 3^rd Municipal ballot, residents will have the opportunity to vote for three City Council Members. The Rancho Cordova City Council is comprised of five Council Members, who serve four-year terms. These terms are staggered, and so are the elections of the Council Members. This year, residents will vote for three City Council Members. In the next general election, residents will vote for two City Council Members.

This November’s election will be the first time all registered California voters will receive a mail-in ballot. To check your voter registration status, visit: voterstatus.sos.ca.gov/. For more information about the General Election, voter registration, and a list of Ballot Drop Boxes and Vote Centers, visit elections.saccounty.net or call 800.762.8019.

 

Sincerely,

Cyrus Abhar
City Manager
