SUMMARY:
On February 3, 2026, the Board of Supervisors approved a list of Measure AA projects to proceed for FY 2025-26. The recommended action items are to approve the budget related appropriations and revenue transfers required to effectuate that Board approval and receive an update on the early successes of some of those projects. In addition, the Department of Public Works, Facilities and Parks (PWFP) is recommending approval, with support of the Measure AA committee, the expansion of two previously approved roads projects and the inclusion of design work for a Scenic Road protection structure.
DISCUSSION:
In August 2025, the Board affirmed its FY 2025-26 Budget Priorities for Measure AA funding and directed that emphasis be placed on highly visible community-impacting projects, including roads, parks, and homelessness initiatives. The Board also directed that projects should not be approved until funding has actually been received. In December 2025, the Measure AA committee reviewed eligible projects and developed project priority recommendations aligned with those priorities. The recommendations were organized in two tiers: (1) projects that are recommended to proceed based on funding available and anticipated for completion within the fiscal year, and (2) projects to proceed as additional funding becomes available.
On February 3, 2026, the Board approved $10,100,000 in Tier 1 projects with funds previously received from Measure AA and when funding became available $4,250,000 in Tier 2 projects. Funds have now been received to support both Tier 1 projects and Tier 2 projects.
On April 23, 2026, the Measure AA Committee received an update on the early successes of the Tier 1 Roads projects from the PWFP. During that update PWFP identified two of the Measure AA roads projects that should be expanded. The two Roads projects were identified as the Vierra Canyon Road and San Benancio Road. The Vierra Canyon Road should be extended by an additional 1.1 miles for an increased cost of $1,200,000, leaving no gaps from State Route 156 to the end of the County-maintained road. San Benancio Road project should be extended from milepost 1.0 to milepost 2.0, as well as an additional 0.5 miles to the East for an increased cost of $800,000. PWFP also requested Measure AA funding of $500,000 for planning efforts for a Scenic Road Protection Structure (SRPS).
The Board is being asked to receive an update on the early successes of the Measure AA projects, approval of expansion of two projects and planning efforts for a SRPS and adopt a resolution authorizing related budget amendments, intrafund reimbursements, and operating transfers to implement the recommended funding allocation of Measure AA dollars.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
This report was reviewed by Public Works, Facilities and Parks.
FINANCING:
Approval of the recommended action would increase appropriations totaling $16,200,000 in the FY 2025-26 Adopted Budget for various Roads and Parks projects in the Public Works, Facilities and Parks (PWFP) department and projects for the Housing and Community Development department.
