Citywide Parks, Landscape and Lighting Assessment District funding

Summary

The new citywide park assessment — about $1.9 million a year that voters' property owners approved in 2025 — is now becoming a real fund. Council members talked priorities: fix health-and-safety issues and failing irrigation first, shiny new amenities later, with an all-weather field costing an estimated $4-5 million still under discussion.
