Impact analysis
About $35.6 million in capital spending next fiscal year, funded without new general fund contributions but with $17 million total transferred from special funds to balance the general fund.
All residents benefit from repaired streets, upgraded water systems, and improved parks.
Projects that were deferred, including facility repairs, will wait longer for funding.

Park Planning and Community Events Commission — September 15, 2026
The commission was scheduled to review a proposed list of park improvement projects for Fiscal Year 2027-28 and recommend it to the City Council. Because the meeting was cancelled, that review — and any resident input — now waits until October 20.
Planning Commission — June 1, 2026
The city's five-year spending wishlist for infrastructure projects — 86 projects, 12 of them new — got a consistency check against the General Plan. This doesn't fund anything yet; it just confirms the projects fit the city's long-term plan.
