Cassie Laaire, the city’s senior management analyst (with consultant David Muñoz on the panel), said the consolidated plan and annual action plan will guide investment of anticipated HUD CDBG funds over a five‑year period. Staff used last year’s allocation as a baseline because this year’s federal allocation had not been released; staff estimated roughly $1.4 million in CDBG resources across five years, with approximately $951,000 proposed for capital projects, about $219,000 for public services and about $292,000 for administration.

Council approved two separate motions that staff recommended after the public‑input phase. The first motion approved funding for People Self Help Housing Corporation’s supportive‑services proposal, the staff report showed the award is intended to provide clinical case management and housing‑stability services to about 253 households across five affordable rental properties in Goleta. The council approved that allocation by roll call vote (all members present voted aye).

The second motion approved a $26,968.50 award for Isla Vista Youth Projects’ Family Resource Center. Council member Kiriakou earlier said he would abstain from votes affecting an organization where his spouse serves on the board; the record shows Kiriakou abstained on the Isla Vista Youth Projects vote and the remaining council members voted to approve the award.

Staff also recommended that the city’s capital allocation for the one‑year action plan be applied to Matilda Park improvements, with contingency language that unused funds would be reallocated to the Goleta Community Center ADA improvements. Staff said the administration portion of the one‑year allocation would be approximately $53,000.

On federal funding uncertainty, Laaire said the city had not received formal notice of changes to the CDBG allocation and thus was proceeding on a “presumed status quo” basis while meeting HUD timelines.

The council’s actions finalize the city’s proposed consolidated and annual action plans for submission to HUD and set the subrecipient awards and capital priorities staff will include in the plan documents.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Goleta - City Council Meeting of April 1, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","After a public hearing, the Goleta City Council on April 1 approved proposed CDBG allocations including $984,050 for People Self Help Housing supportive services and $26,968.50 for Isla Vista Youth Projects’ Family Resource Center.","taxTitle","Goleta, Santa Barbara County, California","taxId",57867,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6617308,"Goleta council adopts Measure A five‑year program of projects",650,1936000,2586000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2842402-759dfd078d4dea24b4844777fea985d1&start=1936&end=2586","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2842402-759dfd078d4dea24b4844777fea985d1/thumbnail_1936000.jpg","/articles/6617308/Goleta/Santa-Barbara-County/California/Goleta-council-adopts-Measure-A-fiveyear-program-of-projects","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6617308-38f9af90f6f08fe307efe9fbd99da1eb/orig.mp4?Expires=1775541859&Signature=R8OnHD00WgYQwnT0E4Qg4ZvSwzDQ4qz8ThTN55z5TfShC0Syh1Uh3ae3UBAuIV~xwVOCkAaaCMhfkzMo6yz8S8FD8lHt3I1CUruSBB~3CHb4a0uU94XifmlhdvinFF0ohmhns4DPS6W7NevTat-HKaeSxsYyepeeoZ5gUy2S3pzz45P0T0qw-jg2o~iclRmHTi26lh2LzHfAGnyyJXKsk0nZ3a9qILhq0DAOo1Gk0-s7sTU6pDg0b5PJzYBLtTWL5UC4y8meE8-X7gsQIU1w90tY~qlhKjBWL3LR6ILTl-CLhulswVX3QvCqioCD04kFo3yO8CNIMDK-9LQ8V~Z82Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Goleta City Council on April 1 approved a resolution adopting the Measure A five‑year local program of projects for fiscal years 2025–26 through 2029–30, after a staff presentation on how the city intends to use its share of the countywide sales‑tax measure.

Measure A is a voter‑approved transportation sales tax ordinance. Teresa Lopes, the city’s senior project manager, told the council the countywide Measure A program is estimated to generate about $257 million over the next five years and described how the city proposes to allocate its portion. “Goleta is projected to spend approximately 60% of our Measure A revenues on alternative transportation improvements,” Lopes said, while noting Measure A includes a maintenance‑of‑effort requirement to prevent local agencies from shifting local pavement spending onto Measure A funds.

The resolution formalizes the city’s Program of Projects (POP) submitted to the regional agency and maintains the city’s emphasis on active‑transportation projects. City staff said a large share of the city’s Measure A allotment is earmarked to help pay for construction of the San Jose Creek multipurpose path; staff also identified annual Safe Routes to School line items of $25,000 per year for restriping and crosswalk markings. Council members asked questions about how Measure A dollars are categorized on the SBCAG submittal form and how local pavement work is tracked under the Measure A maintenance‑of‑effort rules.

Mayor Perotti, who represents Goleta during regional Measure A discussions, said the city is working with Santa Barbara County Association of Governments (SBCAG) as part of planning for an eventual Measure A renewal and urged staff to highlight to residents the benefits the city has received from Measure A funding.

The council adopted the resolution by roll call vote; all members present voted in favor.

The vote completes the city’s required annual POP submission to SBCAG for Measure A funding allocation and sets the spending priorities staff will pursue over the next five years. The council may revisit the POP in future annual updates or if project funding needs change.","The Goleta City Council on April 1 adopted a five‑year Measure A program of projects for fiscal years 2025–26 through 2029–30, committing local shares of the county transportation sales tax to active‑transportation projects including the San Jose Creek multipurpose path.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6617293,"Goleta council adopts Public Works FY2025–26 annual work program; major pavement and bike projects highlighted",4372,5569000,9941000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2842402-759dfd078d4dea24b4844777fea985d1&start=5569&end=9941","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2842402-759dfd078d4dea24b4844777fea985d1/thumbnail_5569000.jpg","/articles/6617293/Goleta/Santa-Barbara-County/California/Goleta-council-adopts-Public-Works-FY202526-annual-work-program-major-pavement-and-bike-projects-highlighted","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6617293-99343866e32b291c23871a3025b7b834/orig.mp4?Expires=1775541859&Signature=a1~DUk6nnd1CcEu16ZjbxMARujPLzt2R9YEpVfpWlRoQyk1oPAh9Tj4SEycOCbKB4FHq7ghzM3N6~g0Xvz3gVGd3V9bQCqhwkpOJrt472NDYv~glIzOW~CWmxsqGnivA9ShnvHOGPPC6n6Pn69wUrE3g8aP7cW5dtcVlXVaz-Lt2-pMFOkumuBHdYAMUY9zwFToJ~zS107B-nDr6Ipd~PCpiOUSP0CaO9DcIvC071elkun7LNC8niMxehCtu4K~hqrwBYJ4qvUavyUmIWsQ~fgmUL4XEzCQM5dZA~1Uo2hul2WKyiaMa1L9U0Po2Z2Y1KIBZQTm6VAj84zoGB6Xc2Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Goleta City Council on April 1 adopted the Public Works Department’s annual work program for fiscal year 2025–26 following a detailed presentation of accomplishments, active projects and near‑term priorities.

Public Works Director Nina Buena and division leads reviewed the department’s recent year, citing nine completed construction projects, staffing changes (16 hires with 12 promotions), and grant‑funded accomplishments including a $3.9 million Coastal Conservancy grant used for Butterfly Grove improvements. Assistant Public Works and project staff described Project Connect as one year into construction with the northern side of the bridge complete and the contractor preparing to swap traffic to finish the southern side.

Staff said the San Jose Creek multipurpose path is out to bid and that award is expected in summer 2025; they also noted a $11.1 million Reconnecting Communities grant for that project had been delayed earlier in the year and that a federal webinar on grant status had been rescheduled. Staff described the city’s 2025 pavement program as two parts: an arterial project (3.1 center lane miles) and a residential program (22.1 center lane miles). The staff estimate shown in the presentation listed a base bid of about $13 million and a base plus additive alternates total of about $21 million for the arterial work, with construction scheduled to begin in August–September 2025 depending on bids.

Park and open space work highlighted included phase‑1 implementation at Elwood Mesa Monarch Butterfly Habitat, irrigation and planting work funded through the Coastal Conservancy grant, field renovations at Johnny D. Wallace Park and preparations to operate the new splash pad. Staff said it had secured a $1 million urban forestry grant that is currently on hold and that the department will continue to pursue funding to complete tree inventory and risk assessments.

Other operational points included the city’s diversion rate (staff reported a 70% diversion rate and roughly 17,200 tons diverted), a department vacancy level of about 20% (39 full‑time employees, eight vacancies), and plans to shorten street‑tree trimming cycles to a three‑year rotation for better tree health and public safety.

Council members asked detailed questions about nexus and fee studies that will inform development impact fees, Vision Zero planning and how the pavement and bike projects interact with future development. After deliberation the council adopted the work program by roll call vote; staff will incorporate council direction as it scopes budgets and grant applications for the coming fiscal year.","The council adopted the Public Works Department work program for FY2025–26 after a department presentation that highlighted Project Connect construction progress, the San Jose Creek multipurpose path (out to bid), proposed pavement projects, and a move to a three‑year tree‑trimming schedule.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6617299,"Goleta approves pilot Fourth‑of‑July drone show at Dos Pueblos High School",1589,3407000,4996000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2842402-759dfd078d4dea24b4844777fea985d1&start=3407&end=4996","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2842402-759dfd078d4dea24b4844777fea985d1/thumbnail_3407000.jpg","/articles/6617299/Goleta/Santa-Barbara-County/California/Goleta-approves-pilot-FourthofJuly-drone-show-at-Dos-Pueblos-High-School","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6617299-3449cbe21fa989a610c215ebdbd9cc2d/orig.mp4?Expires=1775541859&Signature=K2V8sFZqHP-l42VyJqHYJb2nnXM8QNMl6ERMqy3KGIeNXyMBbjYIKZDHU4U~qS6ZNBdiACLFMHyZs1xMQX1VUajpwg1C0k1Mwdn8CuJ8sGhWHRp0LeEwovrgQjyrvtrG7cHFeZICMs2EhEhy1E03VT63bELLivCYoCc~BOTmFn5j7g~rNHjNJGYX2Z39~Ln2aA~PIJMP6WiGLfEGbQCiTik4vo5wwZWRZIk~HKCqPZSWR3A31ISDD-3KISkF3gtcXiFoeGpKYgeH6sMiQS4SbFpTPwfbuE5lOVB-laZLxdIXt16H8nHZEPH9QbK3RhxzaneF3AIys6h3Iha8UZzbcw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Goleta City Council on April 1 authorized the city manager to enter into an agreement with droneshow.com LLC for a pilot Fourth‑of‑July community drone show at Dos Pueblos High School, with a contract amount not to exceed $50,000.

Kelly Hoover, the city’s community relations manager, told council the proposal is a pilot event intended to provide a community alternative to fireworks. The core drone‑show fee — the vendor price for the choreographed 14‑minute performance — is $50,000, Hoover said; as of the council meeting the city had raised $43,500 in private donations, including a $25,000 lead gift from Yardi Systems. Staff estimated the full event cost (security, custodial, entertainment, AV, promotion, on‑site staffing) at $65,000–$70,000 and said additional fundraising of about $20,000–$25,000 would be needed to cover operating costs.

Hoover described the show as a roughly 14‑minute animated light presentation using about 50 drones capable of flying to 400 feet and visible on a clear night up to 7–10 miles away. The city has the support of the Santa Barbara Unified School District and Dos Pueblos High School to use the stadium; staff said the home stands seat about 2,000 and the visitor side would be closed for safety during the display. Santa Barbara Airbus has offered shuttle support if needed.

Council members probed logistics including parking, neighborhood impacts along Cathedral Oaks, capacity plans and insurance. City staff said the drone vendor carries commercial general liability and aircraft insurance (staff cited $2 million) and that a facilities use agreement with the school district would define facility liability and responsibilities. The city will coordinate with the Sheriff’s Office on patrols and crowd management; staff noted that people often seek alternatives to city‑sanctioned fireworks and that a city event could reduce illegal firework activity.

Council approved a motion to authorize the city manager to execute the vendor agreement not to exceed $50,000. The vote was unanimous. Staff said the event is a one‑year pilot: if it is successful the city will explore community groups or partners to assume operations in future years.","The council authorized the city manager to enter an agreement with droneshow.com LLC not‑to‑exceed $50,000 to stage a pilot, free Fourth‑of‑July drone show at Dos Pueblos High School; staff said the city has raised $43,500 and will continue fundraising to cover estimated event operating costs.","actionData","errors"]
