The measure increases San Mateo's transient occupancy tax by 2% on hotel and lodging guests to generate approximately $1.5 million annually for general city services including street repairs, police patrols, parks, business attraction, and disaster response. The tax increase will remain in effect until ended by voters and includes provisions for citizen oversight and independent audits.
