Vote YES on MEASURE G! 1024 AUG 19 PM 12: 36
Vote YES to keep Palm Desert Safe and Strong.
Even with Palm Desert's history of top ratings from the State Auditor and careful fiscal management,
rising costs and inflation have strained our city's budget. We face significant budget issues and cuts to
essential services.
Measure G will:
Protect Our Emergency Services:
Measure G will be used to update existing fire stations, build anew fire station in the north area,
and increase our sheriff deputies and firefighter staffing. It will also help ensure 911 emergency
response times do NOT increase.
0 Ensure Economic Stability:
These funds stay in Palm Desert. Measure G will strengthen financial reserves and protect public
services for everyone.
• Guard Public Safety:
Our public safety teams must be equipped with the most current tools and technology to keep our
neighborhoods safe.
• Improve Infrastructure:
This revenue will fund regular maintenance, repairs, and upgrades to roads, community centers,
parks, and more — ensuring safety and services for all neighborhoods.
• Plan for Extreme Weather:
The extreme heat and storms we continue to experience require advanced coordination of
emergency response plans. We must invest in new storm management plans and infrastructure,
and strengthen emergency budget reserves.
Palm Desert's visitors make about 70% of all purchases in Palm Desert. This means that visitors enjoying
our city will help fund our essential services, easing the weight on residents. Please note that Measure G
does NOT impact groceries, medicine, or rent.
One added cent for every dollar spent will provide an estimated $25 million annually.
Vote Yes on Measure G for a safe and strong Palm Desert and a bright future for all residents. it's a small
change for a big impact!
Vote YES for PALM DESERT'S FUTURE.
