Street Lighting and Landscape Assessment District funding shortfall

San Pablo Community Foundation grant program awards
The council awarded $120,000 in one-time grants to local nonprofits for programs, events and services in FY 2026-27, funded by the general fund, corporate sponsors and the senior advisory board.
