# City of Santa Rosa City Council 10-27-26

The October 27, 2026, City of Santa Rosa City Council meeting included a capital improvement program update and approval of wastewater revenue bond financing. Staff reported roughly $100 million in projects completed over the prior 18 months, about $110 million currently under construction, and approximately $70 million bid for construction. Upcoming procurements include bids for the Bennett Valley Golf Course irrigation system and LTP secondary clarifiers; Martin Luther King Jr. Neighborhood Park renovations and Oakmont pavement maintenance are planned for design-build procurement. A council member also reported that a construction management team had been selected for a new hazardous-waste disposal site; the vendor name was unclear in the transcript.

The council voted 7–0 to authorize the Series 2026A wastewater revenue bonds, with borrowing capped at $55 million. The financing is expected to support a $35 million wastewater project and refinance about $25 million in prior debt; staff said approximately $50 million would be borrowed after releasing $7 million in reserves. Restructuring is expected to reduce near-term annual debt service by about $3 million, or roughly $12 million over four years, compared with prior projections. The council also voted unanimously to schedule a future study session on automatic license plate readers; no contract decision was made on that item.
