# 11.10.26: City Council

The City of Ventura City Council meeting of November 10, 2026 (the title date; the metadata timestamp is November 11 UTC) included a major update on Main Street Moves. Staff reported approximately $575,000 spent on corridor improvements and operations in FY 2025–26, with about $2.2 million cited as available, including a recently secured $2 million state allocation and roughly $24,000 in city funds. Safety bollards and planters were underway, street furnishings were being sourced for planned spring 2027 installation, and staff expected to return in spring 2027 with eligible projects and a proposed scope for the state funding. Larger concepts remain unfunded: corridor extensions were estimated at $10–21 million, and intersection bulb-outs at $250,000–$500,000 per corner. The city also has a three-year general services agreement with Downtown Ventura Partners approved in 2025. No street-configuration decision was made: a motion asking staff to return with hybrid-operation options failed, and the Main Street report was received and filed.

The council also approved, by a 7–0 vote, staff’s recommendation on a water-use measure intended to satisfy a state mandate; discussion included outreach to affected institutions and potential rebate or direct-install assistance. The close-session report stated there was no reportable action. A youth environmental group presented beach-litter findings and recommendations, but no related purchase or contract action was identified. No new Main Street contract award was announced during the meeting.
