Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District Budget Approved for FY 2026-27; Fees Decrease in Some Zones
The Healdsburg City Council adopted a resolution approving the annual engineer's report and budget for the Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District for fiscal year 2026-27. Councilmember Kelly noted that fees in several zones are proposed to decrease, which she appreciated given affordability concerns for residents. Other zones will remain consistent. The presentation included a map of the seven zones within the district and a table comparing current and proposed assessments. Councilmember Hagley recused himself from this item due to living within the affected district.
State Budget Cuts Pose Threat to Transit and Transportation Funding, Councilmember Reports
Councilmember Mitchell reported on attending the California Coalition of Governments meeting in Sacramento, where legislative policy and budget issues were discussed. She highlighted significant proposed budget cuts to transit and transportation funding at the state level, which could impact the ability to fund projects like the Healdsburg Avenue project and SMART rail. Agencies across the state are concerned about these potential cuts. Mitchell also noted her positive experiences attending the 'Tuesday in the Plaza' event and local high school graduations, emphasizing the community's caring nature and unique traditions.
City Approves Agreement for Railroad Quiet Zone Analysis
The Healdsburg City Council authorized a professional services agreement with RailPros for $148,909 to conduct a quiet zone feasibility analysis for the city's railroad crossings. This analysis is a crucial step in establishing a 'no regular use of the train horn zone,' as required by the Federal Rail Administration (FRA). The city must lead this effort because only public entities can authorize quiet zones. RailPros will assess safety measures at each crossing to determine eligibility. The process is iterative and involves working with SMART and the city. The council will review the findings and proposed quiet zone establishment in future meetings. SMART is aiming for final design by year-end 2026, with potential construction start and December 2028 passenger service commencement.
