Measure "S" was passed by voters in 2006.  The purpose was to repair city streets that were in bad condition.  The measure passed with an 80% vote.  Measure "S" allowed for a 1/2 cent sales tax increase to fund street overlays and improvements.  It was estimated that the cost would be approximately $7 million dollars to pave all streets identified as needing repair.  As of August 2009, the city has spent $1.5 million on street work.  The 1/2 cent sale tax increase has a sunset clause in 2022.
