Mendota council emphasizes Measure C renewal, community center and street projects for 2026
Summary
Mayor Victor Martinez and staff outlined major capital projects and funding priorities for 2026, including a Measure C renewal, the Community Center Project, multiple street reconstructions and a Westside water tank and booster pump project. City engineers noted federal funding earmarks for road repairs.
Mayor Victor Martinez used the Dec. 16 Mendota City Council meeting to review the city’s top capital priorities for 2026, pressing for continuation of Measure C renewal efforts and progress on major infrastructure projects.
The mayor listed the Community Center Project, Divisadero Street Reconstruction, the 7th Street Rehabilitation Project and a planned housing development among the council’s priorities. He also identified the Westside Water Tank and Booster Pump Project as a critical water‑system upgrade the council intends to advance.
City Engineer Osborn expanded on those items, reporting updates on a subdivision map for Bass Avenue, the Citywide Railroad Improvement Project, the 5th and Quince Street Reconstruction Project, the Divisadero Street Reconstruction Project and the Amador and Smoot Extension Project. Osborn said WES had earmarked roughly $5 million in federal funding for road repair projects and noted the American Public Works Association recognized the Derrick and Oller Roundabout Project. He also reported a donation to the Mendota Community Corporation from Provost and Pritchard Consulting Group.
Why it matters: the projects target long‑standing needs in Mendota’s roadway and community facilities networks, and the council will rely on a mix of local ballot measures and external grants or earmarks to fund construction.
Council members framed the work as part of a carryover from 2025 into an active 2026 agenda. No formal vote on Measure C's renewal occurred at the meeting; council discussion focused on continuing planning and funding efforts. The council is expected to advance project design and funding steps in coming months.
