Top issues during term (20)
Two-Way Stop Signs at Main Street and North Plaza
Modest cost for signage, with the city spending time and effort on installation this week.
Assault Reported During Public Comment
Cattle Call BBQ Street Closure and Alcohol Service
About $38,343 in city costs, including the already-budgeted $10,000 sponsorship.
Tropical Storm Rachel Local Emergency
Repair costs are still being tallied; ratification preserves potential state reimbursement.
Building Inspection Authority Cleanup
Repeated requirement changes have driven up construction costs and delayed rental housing for the family's project.
New Finance Director Appointment
$143,000 annual salary, already budgeted for FY 2026-27.
Regional Lifeguard Training Partnership
Free to participants, funded through El Centro's Red Cross centennial funds.
Highway 86 Corridor Safety Improvements
$231,411 total authorization, roughly half offset by grant funds.
Opportunity Zone Designation for Brawley
Feasibility could cost $25,000-$45,000 with another $40,000-$50,000 to form a district; ongoing management would run roughly $7,000-$15,000 a year, paid from district revenue after formation.

The contract starts at $153,500 a year, with potential 5% raises in years two and three.

About $6.59 million in fees collected later rather than upfront; city still recoups full amounts as homes sell.

$35,000 in grant funding with no local match required.
Best Road Reconstruction Funded Through SB 1
About $2.5 million in SB 1 funds committed over the next two to three years for the reconstruction.

Unknown, but residents worry data center demand could drive up water and electric rates for everyone.

Avoids election costs; no new spending attached to the appointments themselves.
City Workforce Vacancies and Compensation
The open labor fight over wages will shape the delayed FY 2026-27 budget.
2026 Imperial County Public Safety Citizens Initiative
Would add a half-cent sales tax countywide dedicated exclusively to public safety.
Main Street offsite improvement burden on small businesses
Saco has spent about $75,000 on partial concrete improvements so far; remaining Main Street work is deferred two years.
