All of the revenue from the local sales tax is spent locally for the benefit of the Sonoma community. Measure T revenues will into the City’s General Fund, which provides basic city services including 911 emergency response, fire and ambulance services, police services, emergency preparedness, street and parks maintenance, planning and building services, housing programs, climate initiatives, and service contracts with local nonprofits serving youth, seniors, and the homeless, among other priorities set by the City Council such as the creation and expansion of a Parks and Recreation Department.
The largest share of the General Fund budget pays for fire, ambulance, and police services (over half the total budget), followed by maintenance of local streets and parks (including the Plaza).
