Woodland adopts FY26–27 spending plans for Measures F and R, including aquatic-center operations and solar purchases
Summary
Council approved the FY26–27 spending plans for local sales-tax Measures F and R, allocating roughly $11.7 million from Measure F for parks, roads, public safety and partial operations of the new aquatic center and approving $4 million of Measure R programming for youth, library and crime-prevention items.
The Woodland City Council on May 19 approved the FY26'27 spending plans for Measures F (half-cent) and R (quarter-cent).
Kim McKinney, Administrative Services Director, told the council Measure F is projected to generate just under $91 million over the 12-year life of the measure; FY27 allocations total about $11.7 million. The FY27 Measure F plan includes parks projects, road maintenance and capital, public-safety staffing, partial operations for the newly opened Woodland Aquatic Center and two one-time allocations planned to purchase solar arrays at the community and senior center and at the police department (approximately $2.0 million and $2.5 million respectively). McKinney said applicant fees from aquatic-center users will help offset operating costs.
Measure R spending was presented as largely consistent with the advisory measures voters approved: youth programming, the library and crime-prevention/utility assistance. The city currently programs nearly all projected Measure R revenues, including partial funding for aquatic operations. McKinney said Measure R anticipates just under $4 million in revenues next year and a fund balance of roughly $2.6 million.
Council moved and approved the Measure F spending plan and subsequently approved the Measure R spending plan by voice votes.
The spending-plan approvals are part of the budget process and will be revisited with the final budget adoption; McKinney noted the city had previously adjusted allocations after a revenue downgrade and had restored about $2 million in projected revenues compared with earlier projections.
