Measure I Survey
Measure I Survey
Thank you voters for approving Measure I!
We are in the process of planning how to use Measure I funds to address important priorities in our community. These funds will help us maintain services in areas such as public safety and park maintenance—some of the key areas that our residents have already identified as priorities.
While the majority of these funds need to go to resolving our deficit and maintaining services, if the sales tax performance meets expectations, we anticipate a possibility of up to approximately $500,000 for additional projects in the coming years starting in 2026. We would like to begin identifying community priorities so that we can work this into our budget planning process, and Council can be aware while approving the budget. While the final costs may vary, we’ve outlined general estimates. We are also continuing to look into grant funding and other funding sources to help support projects.
Survey Instructions
1. Review each of the project descriptions.
2. Using a fixed budget, select the top projects you wish to see completed.
3. Rank each project in order of importance.
Carefully read each of the project descriptions below, then scroll down to answer the survey questions.
While the City does not have the resources to complete every special project idea, it is important that we know which projects matter most to residents so that we can incorporate key projects into our budget planning. Please note that the projects below are NOT planned projects. They are potential Measure I projects for the purpose of budget planning. Learn more.
