General Observations and Comments
1. Original projections were to repave 420 miles of city streets utilizing 49% of Measure T funds
• 516 miles have actually been repaved
• An additional 163 miles are slated to be repaved before Measure T funds are exhausted in 2027 • This outperformance has been achieved through operational efficiencies and leveraging other funding sources

o Emergency Operations Ctr
• Four projects are under construction and are expected to be completed utilizing currently allocated Measure T funds o Fire Station 8
o Fire Station 32
o Police Dept. Training Ctr
o Police Dept. Hangar
• The remaining public safety construction projects are in the design phase with a total of $14.5 million in unallocated reserves available to cover any and all future shortfalls o 911 Call Center Upgrades (awarded in December 2025)
o Fire Station 36
o Police Admin Bldg. Upgrades
• Fire Station 23 - land only; acquisition pending
• DPW indicated that project(s) will not proceed if insufficient funds are available to fully fund the project (seeking alternative funding)

Specific Recommendations
• City Council should consider establishing rank-ordered priorities for the three public safety construction projects still in the design phase
• Four COC seats are currently unfilled as of the date of this presentation: D10, Citywide Public Safety, Citywide Environmental Issues and Citywide Finance and Accounting; filling these remaining seats lowers the risk of not being able to achieve a required quorum to conduct COC meetings and, more importantly, ensures representation on the COC by all city stakeholders
