Meausure O Oversight Committee meeting: April 30, 2026

The City of Walnut Creek's Measure O Oversight Committee convened on April 30, 2026, to review the third quarter fiscal year 2026 budget update related to Measure O revenues and expenditures. The committee received a detailed report highlighting that Measure O revenues and use of reserves are projected at $23.16 million, exceeding the budget by approximately $440,000, with expenditures slightly under budget by $80,000. Key allocations include $9 million annually set aside for the Heather Farm Park aquatic and community center project, with $9.88 million appropriated for phase 2 construction. The committee discussed the impact of recent changes in auto sales tax distribution and confirmed that Measure O-funded positions, such as police officers and library hours, remain unaffected by these changes. The committee also heard from the Walnut Creek Downtown Association on how Measure O funding supports local events and beautification efforts. The meeting concluded with a motion to refer the fiscal update report to the city council for acceptance, which was approved by roll call vote.
