Milpitas to survey residents about extending quarter-cent sales tax past 2029 expiration

MILPITAS IS HOPING to hold on to a revenue stream dedicated toward city services and keep its budget from falling into the red.

The Milpitas City Council on Tuesday unanimously approved a resident survey to gauge support for a ballot measure this November that would extend Measure F, a citywide quarter-cent sales tax which sunsets in April 2029. Officials don’t want to lose this reliable revenue stream, which supports multiple municipal programs, while they explore other funding sources.
