Development News from the latest meeting
City of Calexico, CA - Regular City Council Meeting - July 1st, 2026
Published: Jul 1, 2026
Collelexico City Council Adopts Code of Ethics and Conduct
The city council adopted a Code of Ethics and Conduct for elected officials and members of appointed boards and commissions. This code establishes principles and standards for public service and is intended to guide the actions and behavior of officials. The adoption of this code follows discussions prompted by resident concerns about online behavior, censorship, and public trust, particularly in relation to social media interactions and perceived unethical conduct. The code aligns with state laws and is seen as a formality to uphold ethical standards.
Collelexico Voters to Decide on New Public Safety Sales Tax Measure
The city council voted to place a resolution on the November ballot for a special tax measure to fund public safety, specifically police and fire departments. The measure proposes a 0.5% sales tax, increasing to 1% after the sunset of Measure H in 2030, remaining in effect for 20 years. Funds will be split 50/50 between fire/emergency response and the police department, with an oversight committee to be established. This initiative aims to provide a dedicated, restricted funding source for public safety following concerns about the allocation of funds from Measure H.
Collelexico Enhances Alley Improvements with APCD Grant Funding
The city council authorized the Public Works Director and City Engineer to sign Change Order Number One with Rove Engineering for alley improvement projects, Phase 3. This change order, in the amount of $1.6 million (estimated, as the exact amount is not clearly stated but implied by 'stretching the dollars' and improving scope), will upgrade the alley improvements from Class 2 base to asphalt payment. This upgrade, funded by an Imperial County Air Pollution Control District (APCD) grant, is expected to increase longevity and further abate dust pollution. The city is not contributing its own funds for these improvements.
Collelexico Explores Payment Installment Program for Business Permits
The city council is considering establishing a payment installment program for qualified applicants facing financial hardship, particularly for high-cost city permits and fees like grading permits. The goal is to encourage investment and economic growth by assisting small to medium-sized businesses. This program would not waive fees but offer payment plans, similar to programs in other cities. One resident expressed the need for such a plan for their business's grading permits, which total $21,000 per acre.
Collelexico City Council Considers Data Center Moratorium to Study Impacts
The city council is considering establishing an interim urgency ordinance for a moratorium on data centers to allow for further study of their potential impacts. The moratorium would last 45 days, with the possibility of extension, to evaluate zoning regulations and planning policies related to data centers. This action is a response to community concerns about the environmental, health, and resource impacts of data centers.
