2026 Special Meeting - City Council / Lincoln Redevelopment Successor Agency / Lincoln Public Financing Authority - Jun 24, 2026
Published: Jul 1, 2026
City Council Approves Placing One-Cent Sales Tax Measure on Ballot
The city council unanimously approved placing a one-cent sales tax measure, designated as Measure F, on the ballot. This decision follows two years of discussion and data collection regarding revenue generation options. The measure aims to provide additional revenue for city services. The campaign committee and advocacy efforts will be community-driven. The city is preparing for the election by filing necessary paperwork with the reporter's office and will receive proofs of ballot language for verification. This measure is considered a significant step that could change how the city provides services.
City Prioritizes Affordable Power Options, Exploring Community Solar and Partnerships Beyond Municipalization
Council expressed a desire to explore affordable power options beyond municipalization, which is considered a high-lift A priority. The city is investigating community power initiatives, such as solar farms, and potential partnerships with existing providers. The goal is to provide more affordable power to the community, potentially through various avenues rather than solely focusing on municipalization. The city is also looking at leveraging existing resources, like the solar farm project at Pipeline Road, to offset energy costs. The city plans to monitor and identify other opportunities for cost savings and affordable power options.
Master Event Calendar Advanced, New Ideas Emerge for Commercial Development, Animal Control, and Downtown Signage
The city's initiative to develop a citywide master calendar for events has been moved to an ongoing status, as the initial steps have been taken, and the IT department is working on the system. Councilmember Peterson suggested considering the development of a commercial campus, potentially integrating it into green belt areas, due to regulatory restrictions hindering his business in Lincoln. This idea was added to the 'Revenue Generation Options' for staff and council review. Councilmember Peterson also proposed exploring a year-round animal control service, possibly in partnership with other cities or high schools, due to rising costs of current services. A low-priority item regarding enhanced downtown signage and wayfinding was also discussed, with a potential for a comprehensive signage program in the future.
Fire Department Pursues ALS Accreditation, Strengthens Prevention Program, and Enhances Operational Capabilities
The fire department is pursuing accreditation for Advanced Life Support (ALS) services, a process expected to take four to five months. They are seeking equipment funding through SSV and AMR, aiming to be a top contender for pooled funds. Training plans are being developed, potentially through partnerships with surrounding departments. The department is also focused on enhancing its prevention program, aiming to meet state-mandated inspection requirements for apartments, schools, and target buildings by 2027. Operational improvements include expanding training grounds, implementing a joint program with the Police Department, and solidifying mutual aid contracts with the county and Cal Fire. Communication infrastructure, including radio dead spots and equipment standardization, is also being addressed.
City Revises Open Space Policies to Incentivize Community-Valued Developments
The city is revising its 40% open space rules and policies to encourage more valuable open space implementation and projects that benefit the community. The initiative stems from a desire to move from rules to incentives for developers. Council held a workshop, and the Planning Commission also discussed the topic. Feedback is being compiled into policies for council review in July or August. Concerns were raised that the 40% open space rule is not always applied effectively, with some areas having unusable space due to topography or lack of trails. The focus is on creating open spaces that offer community value beyond just views for adjacent homeowners, such as trails for public access.
