The City of Upland community update and Measure M informational presentation, dated November 13, 2026, highlighted capital work and the city’s finances. The city described a $14 million Foothill Boulevard rehabilitation, including roadway resurfacing and sewer, water, and utility upgrades, with Gentry Brothers identified as the contractor. The presentation also said the city had secured $4.7 million in state earmarks for four projects and was exploring roughly $1 million more for Foothill Phase 2. A pothole-repair truck was reported on order, and staff described revised landscaping-contract management intended to improve competition and value. No procurement-related motions or votes are reported in the transcript.

Officials presented Measure M as a proposed update to the business-license tax schedule, unchanged since 1994, with projected revenue of about $2.1 million annually. The proposal would phase in changes over two years, raise the minimum fee from $54 to $75, cap the fee at $28,000, and preserve discounts for smaller businesses; the transcript does not report an election result. The presentation cited a $5.7–$6.1 million budget deficit and substantial infrastructure needs, including an estimated $20 million annual gap between current street funding ($6.8 million) and the amount staff said would be needed to reach a pavement-condition target. No formal approvals or contract awards are documented.
