Measure Q
About
In response to the feedback the City received from the community, on July 27th, the Daly City Council unanimously placed Measure Q - The Daly City Local Recovery and Relief Measure on the November ballot for voter consideration.
Measure Q includes tough fiscal accountability by requiring annual independent financial audits, public review of expenditures and ensures that all funds remain in the City of Daly City and cannot be taken by Sacramento. These fiscal safeguards will ensure funds will be used for Daly City's services and our own local recovery and relief plan.
