MEASURE K APPEARS TO BE PASSING

Delta College’s push for a $598 million bond to fund infrastructure projects,
including permanent buildings in Mountain House, appears to have passed by a
slim margin.

While the bond measure didn’t meet the threshold in Sacramento and Alameda
counties, collectively it appears to have received more than the required 55
percent of the overall vote.

“We’re really encouraged by the outpouring of support we’ve received,” said
Measure K campaign spokesperson Stephen Reid. “It’s clear how important Delta
College is to creating opportunities for local students and lifting up our local
economy. There are lots more votes to count, but the trend is very positive and
we can tell the community stands with Delta College.”

As of Wednesday morning, voters in San Joaquin County selected 58.24 percent yes
and 41.76 percent no. 

Delta College Districts 4 and 5 covers a small portion of Sacramento County, in
Galt and Herald areas. Voter support for Measure K was 43 percent for and 56
percent against.

A small part of Alameda County’s in District 6, next to the city of Mountain
House. Poll results were updated at 1:03 a.m. on Nov. 6, where only seven votes
were counted, five voted nay. 

School bond measures need 55 percent of the vote, whether the ballot measure
fails in multiple counties. If totaled and averaged, Delta College appears to
have garnered a 57.4 percent pass rate for the bond as of the last ballot count
update.

A bond survey conducted in Spring 2024 showed that 57 percent of community
support was in favor of the potential bond, according to Collegian reporting.

If Measure K moves forward, property owners will see increased property taxes
$16 per $100,000 assessed value, annually costing taxpayers $49.

Just 20 years ago, Delta College proposed Measure L to voters in five counties:
San Joaquin, Alameda, Sacramento, Solano and Calaveras. The voters approved the
bond measure. The $250 million Measure L funded projects including the DeRicco
Student Services Building, the Science and Mathematics Center, renovation of the
Goleman Library, and an extension to the Shima Center. Measure L money is also
currently being used a second time for renovation of the athletic fields. Also
promised in that bond, but not completed: permanent structures at South Campus
at Mountain House and an establishment of a North County campus.

Measure K’s website and campaign materials focus on securing a “Strong Delta
College” through development of the local workforce, particularly in the health
sector, and a push to “maintain and upgrade the classrooms, labs, and vocational
equipment, technology and facilities for training the first responders, nurses,
and other professionals who protect and serve our community every day.”

The deadline for San Joaquin County to certify the election is Dec. 3, according
to the Registrar of Voters office.

This year, Delta puts Measure K on the ballot for three of those counties: San
Joaquin, Sacramento and Alameda.

UPDATE: As of Nov. 13 at 6 p.m., 205,456 ballots have been counted and voters in
favor of Measure K is 59.32 percent. Sacramento County votes no by 55 percent,
where yes votes are 44 percent. Ballot counts in Alameda County remain the same
since Nov. 5.
