Fairfield City Council Meeting October 20, 2026

At the October 20, 2026 Fairfield City Council meeting, the council approved Resolution 2026-213, adding EMS positions and amending the FY 2026–27 budget to administer the Solano County Exclusive Operating Area ambulance contract. Fairfield would become the county contract holder while Medic Ambulance continues providing transport services; the staffing and budget changes take effect only after the county contract is executed. The estimated FY 2026–27 cost is just over $496,000, including startup costs, with ongoing costs projected from FY 2027–28; identified funding sources mean no net General Fund impact is projected. The council also approved resolutions 2026-215 and 2026-216 setting priorities for the 2027–2032 consolidated plan and updating the CDBG participation plan. Future CDBG funding priorities include affordable housing, homelessness prevention, and non-housing community development; public-service applications will have a $25,000 minimum, with no limit on how many times a program may receive funding.

The council approved declaring 2.98 acres at 3365 North Texas Street surplus so the city can begin the formal process to market and sell the property, and approved the annexation of Horizon Self Storage into the city’s CFD for public safety, open space, and park maintenance services. Residents urged a moratorium on data centers; council discussed holding a November 10 study session to consider the issue and provide direction to staff, but no moratorium action was taken at this meeting. The consent calendar also passed, though its individual items are not specified in the transcript.
