Summary
The City Council approved a balanced 2025-2026 budget addressing a $35.6 million shortfall by reallocating Measure E funds primarily to homelessness efforts and reducing council office budgets. Key priorities include community safety, homelessness reduction, neighborhood cleanliness, and economic investment. District 9 secured funding for park sports court improvements and safer school crosswalks. The Council updated the Encampment Code of Conduct to require shelter acceptance and launched new outreach and enforcement programs to improve public safety and support unsheltered residents. Dumpster Days will shift to digital notifications to increase frequency, and community events like National Night Out and Viva Parks continue to foster neighborhood engagement.
