District 2 Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District (EIFD)

Spoke in strong support of the EIFD for District 2, emphasizing that it will fund essential infrastructure like sidewalks and street lights without raising new taxes.

Supported studying the EIFD further, noting that doing business in North Sacramento is challenging due to aging underground infrastructure.

Urged the council to adopt the EIFD as a strategic investment since the private sector cannot shoulder the high off-site infrastructure costs alone.

Raised concerns that EIFD revenue projections could fall short and jeopardize the general fund, and noted that neighborhoods like Robla are often left out.

Expressed support for the EIFD as a targeted approach to ring-fence taxes for vital community infrastructure investments.

Voiced support as a District 2 resident and Measure U Commission representative for moving forward to study the EIFD.

Spoke as a Del Paso Boulevard business owner in favor of the EIFD to improve lighting, sidewalks, and commercial growth.
