| Moraga Stormwater Fee Measure
failed |
| The property-related fee was proposed to generate revenue to address deteriorating storm drain pipes, infrastructure, and sinkholes; protect drinking water sources from pollutants; and, prevent local flooding due to insufficient capacity or condition. There was strong voter participation with 58.6% of parcels voting. The measure, however, was defeated with 52% (or 1,744) of the votes against and 48% (or 1,607) in support. This item has been placed on the Town Council May 23, 2018 agenda.

Yes on L is best option
Yes on Measure L is Lafayette's best option. It's the safest way to protect against high-density development and unbearable traffic gridlock at Deer Hill and Pleasant Hill Road across from Acalanes High School.

leaders are NOT engaging in scare
tactics. If Measure L is defeated, the
