Q Why does the City have to purchase Black-
berry Farm and the school site?
Blackberry Farm
is for sale and the city wishes
A Measure T will be based on 2.4 percent of your
PG&E and telephone bills. No other utility
will be taxed. To find out what your individ-
ual cost will be, multiply the total of those bills
by .024. For the average Cupertino residential
user, the PG&E bill is $75 per month and
telephone is $25. Using these figures, the total
taxable amount is $100. Multiplied by .024,
Measure T costs approximately $2.40 per
month. For one year, the cost is $28.80. (Out
of state telephone calls are not subject to the
tax.)
Q How much will Measure T cost
dent of Cupertino?
me as a resi-
On Tuesday, Nov. 6, Cupertino voters will
decide whether or not they wish to pay a
modest 2.4 percent utility tax (seniors 65 and
older exempted) that will provide funds for the
purchase and preservation of Blackberry
Farm as open space. The measure also will
generate funding to acquire Fremont Older
Elementary School, which would be used as a
large youth sports complex and family park.
Following are answers to commonly asked
questions about Measure T.

to preserve it as open space. The measure
prevents residential developers from build-
ing on the site. By law, the city of Cupertino
has the first right to buy Fremont Older Ele-
mentary School for recreation and open
space. If the City does not purchase this
property, state law requires it to be sold to
the highest bidder and the city has no legal
authority to prevent its development.
Q How will Measure T affect Cupertino
business owners?
A Businesses will pay the same rate (.024) as
residences. Because they are high users of
utilities, large companies will pay the largest
share of the tax. Several nearby communi-
ties have higher utility tax rates, so no
competitive disadvantage for Cupertino
businesses will result.
Q Would Measure T apply to everyone in the
City of Cupertino?
A Measure T contains a built-in exemption for
residential utility users 65 and older (senior
citizens).
Q This measure doesn't address upgrading
other youth playing fields at school sites
and in the city. Since that is a community
concern, how would Measure T help those
areas?
A Yes, you're right. Measure T does not
specifically address youth sports fields.
However, the City Council has already
unanimously adopted a resolution establish-
ing a youth sports fund of $1.1 million to
begin refurbishing about 40 acres of playing
fields.

Q
A
A
Measure T will "sunset" or end after 25
years, or sooner if the properties can be paid
off sooner.
How
The City is planning to continue the facility
as it is currently operated. Revenues coming
from Blackberry Farm would go toward
paying for the property.
If the City were to acquire Blackberry
Farm, what would happen to it?
long will I have to pay for Measure T?
Q
A
Q
The City has agreements with the owners of
Blackberry Farm and the Cupertino Union
School District that requires $25 million of
new revenue to purchase these properties.
The cost of the 2.4 percent tax will naturally
increase if the rates go up. As a resident,
you may choose to lower your monthly bills
by controlling consumption. In addition, the
City Council has stated its intent to lower
the tax rate if there are unusually high
increases in utility rates. (Only a negligible
portion of PG&E energy source comes from
oil; rates are not dependent on oil price
fluctuations.)
How much
is
the City trying to raise?
A
What if PG&E and the telephone company
raise their rates?
