SUMMARY:
The County of Monterey adopted the Fiscal Year 2026-27 (FY 27) Capital Improvement Program, 5-year Plan (CIP) and Proposed Budget. The Department of Public Works, Facilities and Parks (PWFP) is submitting Public Works Roads requests for FY 27, for projects to be considered for support and recommendation by the Measure AA Committee.
DISCUSSION:
In November of 2024, voters in unincorporated Monterey County approved “Measure AA”, authorizing a general sales tax increase of 1%. This levy is presently being collected - and only in unincorporated county areas. When set for the ballot, it was projected to raise a total of approximately $29 million annually. The funds collected from this increase in the transactions and use tax may be used to provide funding for essential County services, including but not limited to programs for: street maintenance and pothole repair; enhanced public safety, emergency services and disaster response, prevention, and recovery; programs to reduce homelessness; libraries, parks, and recreation facilities; water and sewer infrastructure; healthcare; clean and affordable drinking water; and other services. Please see Attachment A for a list of road priorities that staff is aware of from the Board.
