County Ballot Measure
Should it pass, Measure G would extent the Contra Costa County Abandoned Vehicle Abatement Program and associated annual fee at a rate of $1 per vehicle registered in Contra Costa County and an additional $2 for certain commercial vehicles registered in Contra Costa County. This would generate an estimated $1,100,00 annually for removing and disposing of abandoned and wrecked vehicles until April 30, 2032.
Local Ballot Measure
Should this measure pass, the City of Martinez would levy a dedicated special tax to prevent development and acquire, create, and maintain 297 acres of permanent public parkland and wildlife habitat known as the Alhambra Highlands, at a maximum rate of $79 annually for single-family parcels and at specified maximum rates for other parcel types for 30 years, providing approximately $1.2 million annually, with exemptions for low-income property owners.
