LOS ALTOS (BCN) — Two measures on Tuesday’s ballot for voters in parts of Santa Clara County will determine the future of a proposal for a Los Altos community center and park and funding for a San Jose school district.

Measure A in Los Altos would provide $65 million in bonds to replace the Hillview Community Center, which is nearly 70 years old, and make improvements at Hillview Park.

The City Council voted unanimously on July 28 to present the measure to voters, according to City Attorney Jolie Houston.

The new center would create needed areas for recreation and activities, meeting spaces and community pool facilities, according to proponents. It would also be built to meet handicapped and earthquake safety codes.

The park is in need of upgrades to its open space and sports fields.

Residents have called on the city to prioritize improvements to the center and park, according to measure supporters including Mayor Janis Pepper and Los Altos School District trustee Sangeeth Peruri.

The measure comes at a time of low interest rates and even lower construction costs, the supporters said.

The improvements would be beneficial for residents, seniors and children, according to the supporters.

Residents opposing the measure have said the project’s plan takes up a space three times larger than other community centers in neighboring cities such as Saratoga and the estimated cost for the project is around $87 million.

In West San Jose, Measure B would renew a 10-year parcel tax of $96 to benefit the Union Elementary School District’s eight campuses to support academics, retain teachers and keep small class sizes.

The existing tax expires on June 30 and if approved, the renewed tax go into effect on July 1, said Danielle Goldstein, Santa Clara County deputy counsel.

Seniors, people living on Supplemental Security Income and those receiving Social Security Disability Insurance would be exempted from the tax, she said.

Proponents, including Silicon Valley Leadership Group President and CEO Carl Guardino, said the measure won’t raise taxes and the money would not be used to pay administrators.

In an argument against the measure, Silicon Valley Taxpayers Association president Mark Hinkle said the district doesn’t need the funds noting voters approved last year $125 million in bonds for the district through Measure J for building repairs, updated classroom technology, teacher training, renovations, science labs and reducing overcrowded classrooms.

Both measures require a two-thirds majority vote to pass.
