Council orders $11.2 million street bond measure for November ballot
Summary
The council voted to order an $11,200,000 general obligation bond measure to fund street projects and to present the ordinance for public hearing and a second reading; staff said the bond aims to get ahead of planned street work.
The Needles City Council voted to waive full reading and order Ordinance 684‑AC, submitting an $11,200,000 general obligation bond measure to qualified voters on the Nov. 3, 2026 municipal ballot to finance street projects.
City Manager explained the measure is intended to allow the city to get ahead of street projects and cited an estimated parcel tax impact in staff remarks. "As you recall, it's $11,200,000 bond to be able to get ahead of our street projects," the City Manager said during the presentation. Council then moved, seconded and approved placing the ordinance on the ballot by roll call vote. The ordinance will require any further procedural steps required by state election law, including a second reading and a public hearing prior to final adoption if the council chooses to proceed to formal adoption.
