Top issues during term (20)
Child safety safeguards after Robert Wolfe contract controversy
The suspended contract may result in a payout to the company; the financial terms were not disclosed at the meeting.
Financing for new Police Department building and Fire Station No. 6
$554,054 design contract; station construction funded largely by Measure Q.
MTSSA Labor Agreement and Salary Schedules
Wage increases will affect the city budget; proposed offers start at 2% versus roughly 3.8% inflation.
Fire department Standards of Coverage
Station 6 is already funded through upcoming bond sales; Station 7 and the second ladder truck will require future budget commitments.
Measure M-funded police staffing levels
Requires a budget appropriation to support additional personnel costs.
FY 2026-27 budget
About $8 million a year — nearly half of Measure Q's projected revenue — would go to debt service starting in FY 2026-27.
Sedan Annexation Project — 305 new homes
A development agreement with the builder typically sets city-builder terms like fees and infrastructure; no dollar figures are stated in the agenda.
Fire Station Number 6 Land Exchange
Land swap instead of purchase; station projected to open in 2028.
Speed lumps on Crom Street
Costs of sign changes and speed lump installation come from existing traffic calming program funds.
Disposal of city-owned property at 1403 W. Atherton Drive
The sale price wasn't discussed at the meeting; proceeds from former redevelopment property sales typically go toward paying off the agency's enforceable obligations.
Red-light camera enforcement and traffic engineering
Camera citations represent over $4.8 million in annual penalties; roughly 80% goes to courts and the state.
Trash can sizes
Small households pay the same standard rate as large ones; a senior rate is available on application.
Downtown-area development hearings postponed
Expect some cash to be spent to make downtown pop, but it could bring in more business later.
ADA sidewalk and curb ramp compliance
Potential remediation costs and legal exposure if grievances proceed.
Fueling Station Moratorium and Zoning Standards
No direct cost to residents; it shapes what can be built on commercial corridors for decades.
School capacity and development fees
The developer will pay state-mandated school fees; MUSD's CFD annexation request, worth over $1 million over 35 years, was declined.
Measure Q use and oversight questions
Measure Q is expected to bring in $10-13 million a year and is being planned around a 17-year facilities bond.
Fueling Stations Zoning Standards (ZTA 26-62)
Not stated in the published agenda.
Skate Park Improvement Project funding
$135,000 from the Park Acquisition and Improvement Fees Fund.
Water meter and endpoint replacement contract increase
One-time inflated bills during meter switchover, e.g., a bill covering 43 days versus 20.
