Atascadero approves FY24 Measure F14 roads report; city to mail project brochure to residents
Summary
Council accepted the annual report on the half‑cent Measure F14 sales tax: FY24 revenue about $3.2 million, expenditures $4.1 million, year‑end fund balance $3.3 million; staff will mail a community brochure outlining F14 and non‑F14 road projects.
The Atascadero City Council approved the fiscal-year 2024 annual report on Measure F14 — the city’s half‑cent sales tax dedicated to roads — and authorized mailing the report/brochure to residents.
Key financials and outcomes - Revenue (July 2023–June 2024): approximately $3.2 million from Measure F14 retail collections. - Interest earned (reported): about $120,000 (an accounting fair‑market adjustment of roughly $75,000 was noted as a non‑cash paper change in the financials). - Expenditures: about $4.1 million in FY24 (including completion of 2022 pavement rehabilitation and work on the 2023 rehabilitation program). - Fund balance at year end: ~$3.3 million.
Program accomplishments and selection method Director DeMar summarized program results: over the life of F14 the city has paved more than 50 centerline miles (about 39% of city‑maintained road miles), completed more than 80 neighborhood road segments, and improved the share of roads rated “excellent” by about 15 percentage points. DeMar explained the project selection process is data‑driven: every five years the city performs a Pavement Condition Index (PCI) inspection and uses a critical‑point management model to prioritize treatments that avoid costlier future reconstruction.
Public comment Resident David Matson raised concerns about a specific collector, San Lucia Road between Portola and San Gabriel, describing ongoing deterioration and urging more near‑term work; staff noted Santa Lucia (sic) was in design and that some collector projects are funded outside F14.
Action and next steps Council voted unanimously to approve the annual report and the outreach brochure that will be mailed to all residents; staff said the brochure will be posted online once finalized.
