2:10

And then next to me is our senior engineer Hojana.

2:14

2:24

So uh we can with that we can start.

2:43

Uh so this is uh I put this slide on every time just because we only meet twice a year and this is a reminder to the advisory committee.

2:52

The duties of the committee, which is to review and evaluate the measure I annual reports in general scope of associated audit work, uh that uh we give reasonable assurance that the money is being properly spent on and reported on.

3:08

So uh today we'll go over those results.

3:20

Um okay, so uh this is the bar graph showing where measure I audited fund balance has been.

3:30

Uh you can see that uh inception was in a fiscal year 2016 to 17 when we started collecting on measure I in April of 2017, and then through the years that's how the fund balance uh looked like year over year.

3:47

Now you're seeing uh that it's uh built up over the past uh three years or so, and then this latest fiscal year uh we saw that the fund balance has dropped.

3:57

That only means that uh we were able to deliver projects right that we're spending the fund balance on a street improvements because all of measure I uh uh funds as council uh has continued to direct is towards street improvements.

4:16

So it just means that during this most recent fiscal year, uh public works has been uh able to deliver on more projects.

4:27

Okay, so uh here's a look at the detail in uh numbers.

4:33

So the last column, the rightmost column 2024-25, uh that's where we see uh the latest uh results.

4:43

We began measure I balance.

4:44

We have about a 4.5 million total revenues in on leisure I uh sales tax is about 2.4 million, and then um we spent about 3.3 million towards capital improvement uh projects.

4:58

Most notable one is uh about a three million on pavement reconstruction and um uh another 300,000 or so common uh pavement slurry projects.

5:14

We'll probably go break on that slide that the 2021, uh the pandemic, we were about that two million dollars in balance came from when that one year when project delivery went down sharply and then came back out.

5:33

Okay, so uh we just finished our audit.

5:37

It was officially completed last Friday, so you guys are really like have requests and all uh knowing our audit results.

5:47

Uh we have received an unmodified opinion, so that's the cleanest opinion from our auditors.

Measure I Committee Meeting Summary - November 18, 2025

The Measure I Advisory Committee met on November 18, 2025 to review the fiscal year 2024-25 audit results, receive an update on capital improvement projects, and approve the draft annual report. Committee members Girovich and Call were present; member Tupo was absent.

Consent Calendar

  • Approved the minutes from the June 9, 2025 meeting by unanimous vote.

Discussion Items

  • FY 2024-25 Audit Results: Staff presented the audit results, which received an unmodified (clean) opinion. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, Measure I generated $2.4 million in sales tax revenues and spent $3.3 million on capital improvements (primarily pavement reconstruction and slurry projects). The ending fund balance was $3.6 million, all committed to street and storm drain projects.
  • Pavement Condition and Capital Program Update: Senior Engineer Bajana Baladnik reported that the city's current Pavement Condition Index (PCI) is 71, with an expected increase of about 3 points after completion of the 2025 pavement project. Remaining 2025 paving includes Middle, Monte Cresta, Coronet, and Pullman streets. The five-year pavement plan includes 2.6 centerline miles in 2025, 1.2 miles in 2026, and a larger slurry seal program in 2029. In-house crews performed extensive utility markouts and crack sealing. The combined five-year Measure I revenue forecast is approximately $13 million, with $10 million planned for capital projects in the current CIP (FY 2026-30). Staff noted that ADA curb ramp upgrades and drainage improvements add significant costs to pavement projects.
  • Discussion on Funding and Paving Strategy: In response to a question about remaining Measure I life (21 years left), staff explained that maintaining PCI at a high level requires less investment over time. They also noted construction costs are expected to increase slightly in 2025-26. Expenditures reported are on an accrual basis including June work.

Key Outcomes

  • Motion to Approve Draft Annual Report: The committee moved to approve the draft annual report, with an amendment to replace the absent member's name with Patrick's as the signer. The motion passed unanimously (4-0). The report will be transmitted to the City Council at the November 26, 2025 meeting.
  • Next Meeting: The committee scheduled its next meeting for spring 2026, which will include a budget forecast update and chair assignment/rotation.

Note: There were no public comments during the meeting.
