Other business included approval of a certified survey map combining two lots, and conceptual review of a proposed storage building and vintage-car preparation and sales use; the latter received generally favorable feedback but must return for rezoning and detailed site-plan review.

Ventura Unified School District Board meeting, October 13, 2026 (the metadata timestamp is October 14 UTC). The board unanimously approved, 5–0, a resolution authorizing an option for Ventura Housing to purchase the former Avenue Elementary School site at 2647 North Ventura Avenue, approximately 7.44 acres, for a proposed affordable housing development. The option allows time for site review, project approvals, and financing; the district retains ownership unless and until the option is exercised and escrow closes. Homecomings would have nine months for due diligence, with a possible three-month extension, and the overall project timeline was estimated at about 60 months. Ventura Housing’s representative said the development would provide units affordable to households below 80% of area median income, with the exact mix dependent on financing.
The board also reviewed a workforce-housing survey of about 900 district employees; staff and the board discussed housing needs, possible rent tiers, and sharing findings with the city, but no related spending or procurement decision was made. The board voted 5–0 to receive the school-closure advisory committee report, while requesting further analyses—including financial impacts, facilities and bond costs, boundaries, enrollment, and program access—before future deliberations. Staff explained that replacement of a district van damaged in a total loss would use insurance proceeds; the transcript does not clearly establish a separate vote on that purchase.

The Fluvanna County Planning Commission’s October 13, 2026 work session and meeting reviewed the FY2028–2032 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), with proposed project totals of $30.5 million, $47.9 million, $28.3 million, $25.2 million, and $6.2 million by year, respectively. Staff said the requests would require about $12.3 million from unassigned fund balance, while a major Pleasant Grove Park/Commons Boulevard water and sewer project could require debt; the system was estimated at $15.4 million. The county administrator said the proposed county budget would not include all requested fund-balance projects, so priorities will need to be selected. Requests discussed included county and school vehicle and bus replacements, school paving and building work, emergency-services equipment, a 911 radio-system upgrade, and park improvements. No CIP spending approval was recorded; the plan is expected to return for a public hearing in December or January.
The Commission also reviewed a proposed 4.65-megawatt shared-solar facility by CSG1 LLC/Dimension Energy on about 21 acres of a 140.98-acre parcel. It found the project substantially in accord with the comprehensive plan and recommended approval of the special use permit; the SUP passed 5–0 subject to conditions, including a buffer around the inverters. The applicant cited a $15,000 one-time county contribution and annual payments of $1,400 per megawatt, estimating about $460,000 in county revenue over 35 years. The Commission discussed a draft data-center zoning amendment that would remove data centers as SUP-eligible uses in industrial districts and regulate accessory data centers; members raised concerns about whether the accessory-use provisions were sufficiently developed. No final action on that amendment is shown in the transcript.

The board approved a bid from Bear Construction LLC for Montezuma Creek housing; no contract amount was stated. Separately, staff presented preliminary facility-improvement estimates for La Sal Elementary, including approximately $500,000 in potential repairs, with estimates described as rough and not based on vendor quotes. No decision was made on closing the school, and public commenters urged the board to consider alternatives and provide more financial analysis before any closure decision.

The October 14, 2026, City Council meeting of the City of Atascadero approved a wastewater capacity-charge deferral program for eligible commercial projects in designated commercial and mixed-use zones. The one-year program is capped at $300,000, with 25% due when a permit is issued and the remaining 75% paid over three years with interest; repayment is secured by a promissory note and deed of trust. The council approved it unanimously, with direction that it benefit smaller businesses rather than large corporate entities. Staff said the program is intended to support commercial development while the city prepares for major wastewater-system investment, estimated at more than $100 million.
The council also unanimously approved the three recommendations for the wastewater treatment plant project, including selecting the moving bed bioreactor (MBBR) process, proceeding with Phase 2 preliminary design and cost estimating, and advancing interim improvements to extend the existing plant’s service. Proposed near-term work includes repairing the aeration pond liner, creating a controlled overflow path, and replacing or adding pumps. Separately, the city manager reported that F-14 pavement rehabilitation is underway, covering about four centerline miles, and that the El Camino Real culvert-replacement contract with Sousa Construction has been executed; construction was scheduled to begin October 19, subject to permits.
