The Salinas finance committee voted to recommend the City Council approve a 2.8% increase to development impact fees (effective July 1, 2026) and a 2.2% CPI increase to the citywide schedule of fees and service charges for FY 2026–27; members cited the need to plan for infrastructure while noting an unusually large one-time boost to impact-fee balances from an Amazon project.
The Salinas Finance Committee voted to recommend that the City Council increase development impact fees by 2.8% effective July 1, 2026, and to adopt a 2.2% CPI-based increase to the citywide schedule of fees and service charges for fiscal year 2026–27.
