Lawsuit over 2004's Measure Y

Alameda County Superior Court judge Frank Roesch ruled in February 2009 that Oakland's use of $7.7 million of proceeds from Measure Y, approved by voters in 2004, is an "impermissible" use of funds. Roesch's ruling came in response to a lawsuit filed by Marleen Sacks after the Oakland City Council approved a plan of Mayor Ron Dellums to use $7.7 million of Measure Y money to help the Oakland Police Department reach full staffing by the end of 2008.[1]

Measure Y was meant to provide 63 additional police officers and $8 million annually to fund specific types of violence prevention programs in Oakland.[2]

As a result of the court ruling, Oakland must repay approximately $15 million to the Measure Y fund, and perform annual audits of the Measure Y fund going back to when it first started.[2]

Courtney Ruby, city auditor, issued an audit in September 2009 subsequent to the court order. The audit says:

  • Measure Y funds were disbursed by the city without following the required Request for Proposals procedure.
  • Measure Y grantees were not monitored by the city for compliance.
  • There were no safeguards in place to ensure that Measure Y funds only provided services for Oakland residents.

Oakland may appeal the court ruling.[2]
