Adelanto City Council Reviews Draft Budget and Considers New Transaction and Use Tax Measure
The City Council reviewed the draft budget for fiscal year 2026-2027, which has been developed with input from financial consultants and council members. Staff is incorporating feedback, and the final budget will be presented at the next meeting. The council also considered a proposed transaction and use tax measure to provide a stable, locally controlled revenue source for essential city services like public safety, infrastructure maintenance, water systems, and economic development. This measure is designed to be partially funded by non-residents making purchases within Adelanto, aiming to preserve city financial stability and quality of life for residents. Further discussions on the budget and the tax measure are anticipated, with a workshop scheduled for July 13th at 6 p.m. to gather community input.
Adelanto Residents Voice Strong Concerns Over Fireworks, Urge Action on Public Safety and City Housekeeping
Residents expressed significant concerns regarding the excessive use of fireworks, particularly during the July 4th holiday. Multiple residents reported that fireworks were out of control, causing disturbances and debris. Suggestions for addressing the issue include returning to fireworks being set off at the base, or implementing a complete ban, as some neighboring cities have done. The council acknowledged these concerns and announced a workshop specifically dedicated to discussing fireworks policies and solutions on July 13th at 6 p.m. There were also mentions of general housekeeping issues within the city, including weeds posing a fire hazard and the need for road repaving and pothole repair, which are seen as contributing to a general sense of neglect or lawlessness by some residents.
Emergency Repairs on Al Mirage Road Underway; Air Expressway Rehabilitation Project Nears Construction Start
Repairs are underway for significant erosion damage along Al Mirage Road, which exposed a high-pressure Kinder Morgan gas line following last year's severe rainstorm. The emergency repair is being managed by High Desert Underground (HDU) in coordination with Kinder Morgan and city engineers. The Air Expressway Rehabilitation Project is also progressing, with pavement markings and traffic signage being installed. This two-mile roadway improvement project from Highway 395 to Raccoon is expected to begin construction this weekend and conclude by mid-August. Residents have been notified of potential traffic impacts, and the project aims to provide a safer, smoother, and more reliable roadway.
Adelanto Advances Water Infrastructure Projects with Filtration System Upgrade and Smart Meter Installation
The city is making significant investments in water infrastructure. The replacement and upgrade of the water filtration media system at the city water treatment plant is underway, ensuring safe and reliable drinking water and improving system efficiency. Additionally, the Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) or Smart Meter Reader Project is progressing, with smart meters being installed throughout residential neighborhoods. These meters will improve billing accuracy, provide real-time usage data, enhance customer service, and enable early leak detection, thereby conserving water and improving system reliability and efficiency. The project also aims to reduce manual labor for meter readings and allow water operations staff to focus on preventive maintenance.
Marconi Park Parking Lot Rehabilitation Approved Amidst Cost Discrepancy Questions; Playground Needs Highlighted
A discussion was held regarding the parking lot rehabilitation project at Marconi Park, with a proposed professional services agreement with Blue Builders Incorporated for $120,000. Concerns were raised about a discrepancy between the initial proposal amount ($180,000) and the current bid, and about whether field striping was included in the original RFP. City staff committed to investigating these discrepancies. Council members highlighted the project's importance in improving access, safety, and convenience at the park, which is undergoing a broader renovation including new turf and seating. Residents also raised concerns about the condition of playground equipment and the need for shade at Marconi Park, suggesting these be addressed in future improvements. Additionally, a resident mentioned that the city's own equipment might be capable of handling tasks like parking lot maintenance and pothole repair.
