BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
Danielle Schmitz, the Director of Capital Development and Planning with the NVTA, will give a presentation on the Measure T extension and Measure T projects within Napa County.
Measure T is a $0.50 sales tax expected to generate roughly $500 million over a 25-year period. Funds generated under Measure T are for the reconstruction and rehabilitation of local streets and roads and related transportation improvements such as sidewalks, ADA ramps, curbs, and gutters.
Napa County, the Town of Yountville, and the Cities of American Canyon, St. Helena, and Calistoga received the first Measure T revenue disbursement in January 2019.
The 2012 ballot measure also created an Independent Taxpayer Oversight Committee (ITOC), a citizen oversight committee that helps ensure transparency of local sales tax revenues.
Danielle Schmitz is a transportation professional with over 16 years of experience and currently serves as the Director of Capital Development and Planning at the Napa Valley Transportation Authority. In this position Danielle is responsible for managing NVTA's day-to-day development and implementation of general activities involving programming, planning, funding and grant activities, marketing and public outreach. This includes oversight of the Vine Transit system and Measure T, the county's 1/2 cent transportation sales tax that generates approximately $25 million a year for Napa County's local streets and roads.
