A City of Oakdale Sales Tax Extension, Measure Y ballot question was on the November 4, 2014 election ballot for voters in the city of Oakdale in Stanislaus County, California. It was approved.

Upon its approval, Measure Y was designed to allow the city to continue for five years an existing 0.5 percent sales tax. At the time the measure was approved, this tax was bringing in about $1.5 million per year to the city's general fund. The total sales tax rate in the city of Oakdale at the time was 8.125 percent. Since Measure Y was approved, this rate will continue in the city for five more years. If Measure Y had been rejected, this rate would have decreased by half a percent to 7.625 percent in April of 2015.[1]

Of this total, 7.5 percent was imposed by the state and 0.125 was levied by Stanislaus County.

This tax was a general tax, which meant money could be used by the city for any governmental purpose.

This sales tax was first approved in 2011 under the name Measure O.

### Impartial analysis[edit]

The following impartial analysis was prepared for Measure Y:[1]

“  |

California Revenue and Taxation Code requires voter approval to extend a transactions and use tax for general purposes. In 2011 voters in the City of Oakdale approved Measure “O” to institute transactions and use tax within the City of one-half cent. This tax had a sunset date of April 2015. The proposed measure will extend the sunset date of the tax for an additional five (5) years. If passed, this measure, placed on the ballot by the City Council, will allow the City of Oakdale to collect approximately one million five hundred thousand dollars annually in sales tax revenue that can be used for general services within the City. The measure will result in individuals continuing to pay a one-half cent tax for transactions within the City. If the measure does not pass, the transaction and use tax implemented through Measure “O” will expire in April 2015, and the City will no longer be able to collect the revenue.[2]
