Measure P and S Oversight Committee Meeting

On October 19, 2026, the Measure P and S Oversight Committee met in council chambers with Vice Chair Rick Hoyer participating remotely from California. The committee reviewed financial reports, street rehabilitation updates, and sales tax data, and approved several items unanimously.

Public Comments & Testimony

  • No members of the public provided comments, either in person or via Zoom.

Discussion Items

  • Approval of Minutes (July 20, 2026): The committee unanimously approved the minutes from the previous meeting.
  • Review of Periodic Reports and Unaudited Expenditures: Rafaela presented two reports: the annual report for FY2025-26 and the first quarterly report for FY2026-27 (July 1 – September 30, 2026).
    • FY2025-26 Annual Report: The PCI remained at 79. Cumulative revenues from inception totaled $121.5 million, expenditures $90.9 million, and the fund balance was $30.6 million. For the year, revenue was $13.5 million ($12.6 million in tax revenue, $868,000 in interest), expenditures were $3 million, and the fund balance increased by $10.4 million. Tax revenue was up 2% from the prior year and exceeded projections by $690,000.
    • Q1 FY2026-27 Report: Cumulative revenues reached $122.7 million, expenditures $91 million, and fund balance $31.8 million. Quarterly revenue was $1.2 million ($1.113 million in tax, $115,673 in interest), expenditures were $72,270, and the fund balance grew by $1.156 million. Tax revenue was up 15% compared to the same quarter in the prior year.
    • Andrew provided context for lower expenditures, noting several projects in the pipeline, including the Wave Street project (resumed after summer suspension), Cemetery roads, 2026 road resurfacing, and ADA improvements. Specific projects discussed: Via Esperanza storm drain (permits obtained, bidding soon), Canary Road garage pavement (stormwater tree box tied to pavement work), and Iris Canyon sediment removal (ongoing mitigation reporting).
    • Committee member Carol Trebajian questioned the appropriateness of a $62.38 expenditure for “ADA lumber for traffic study signs,” suggesting it may not qualify under Measure P/S. Andrew explained it was related to evaluating the Taylor and Prescott traffic signal for removal. Similarly, a laptop adapter expense was clarified as necessary for field survey equipment. The committee approved both reports unanimously.
  • Street Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Reports for 2026: Andrew presented the street segment report showing PCI scores and treatment history. Upcoming projects include Cemetery roads, the 2026 road resurfacing, and Cass Street/El Dorado (expected spring 2027, pending Cal Am water main replacement). The PCI is currently 79 and fluctuates with major rehab projects. Rick Hoyer requested a future report detailing plans for segments with very low PCI scores (e.g., Antler Place at 18, Aguajito at 14). The committee voted unanimously to receive the report.
  • Sales Tax Update for Q1 2026 (January – March 2026): Rafaela presented data from HDL. Citywide sales tax was up 3.5%, compared to 1.3% for the county and 4% for the state. Measure S receipts totaled $2.8 million, up 0.6% from the prior year, excluding aberrations. The top 25 producers were listed in alphabetical order. Committee members noted the importance of distinguishing hospitality’s share of the increase. The report was accepted unanimously.
  • 2027 Meeting Dates: Elizabeth proposed quarterly meetings on Mondays at 10 a.m. in council chambers: January 25, April 19, July 19, and October 18, 2027. The committee approved the dates unanimously.

Committee Member Comments

  • Members discussed the upcoming Measure P renewal campaign, noting support from firefighters, contractors, and vendors. One member cautioned against electioneering during the meeting. Another mentioned that Councilmember Jeff Whitmoore opposes the measure. The committee also noted that the annual report will be presented to the city council at its first December meeting.

Key Outcomes

  • Approved minutes of July 20, 2026 (unanimous).
  • Approved the FY2025-26 annual periodic report and the Q1 FY2026-27 periodic report (both unanimous).
  • Received the 2026 street rehabilitation and reconstruction report (unanimous).
  • Accepted the Q1 2026 sales tax update (unanimous).
  • Approved 2027 meeting dates: January 25, April 19, July 19, and October 18 (unanimous).
  • Directed staff to provide a future report on low-PCI street segments and their planned treatments.
  • The meeting adjourned at 10:46 a.m.
