LIVE COVERAGE Measure G Oversight Committee Meeting of October 15, 2026

The Measure G Oversight Committee meeting of October 15, 2026, reviewed the unaudited FY 2026–27 first-quarter financial report through September 30. The city’s Measure G revenue budget is $36.3 million; reported tax receipts reflected July collections, with 9% received and August revenue expected shortly. Citywide Measure G spending was 29% of budget before nondepartmental expenditures and transfers, while nondepartmental spending was 8%, largely because of the timing of debt-service payments and capital projects. The report listed major funded projects including the Alisal Vibrancy Plan, Sprung Shelter, fire-station renovations and apparatus replacement, street and sidewalk repairs, the District 5 Recreation Center, and community-center and park improvements. It also reported 117.1 Measure G-funded positions across several departments. No contract awards, bids, or new spending approvals were presented.

Committee members asked for more information on current and planned capital projects, recreation-program participation and outreach, and police staffing and community needs; staff agreed to provide follow-up information. The committee approved the 2027 meeting calendar and the January 15, May 18, and July 30, 2026 meeting minutes, with abstentions recorded on some minutes. No procurement action was identified.
