Adelanto Council Agendas Include $1.9M Road Contract and November Sales Tax Measure; Outcomes Not Yet Confirmed
The Adelanto City Council faced a packed agenda over the past two weeks, with items ranging from a $1.9 million road rehabilitation contract to a proposed 1% sales tax measure for the November ballot. However, minutes from both the June 24 and July 1 meetings have not yet been published, so it is not yet possible to confirm which items were approved, rejected, or continued.
June 24: Air Expressway Contract, Budget Extension, and Utility Agreements
The council's June 24 agenda listed several significant financial items:
- **Air Expressway Rehabilitation Project**: A proposed $1,895,875 construction agreement with Sully-Miller for road rehabilitation along Air Expressway.
- **Budget Deadline Extension**: Resolution 26-36, which would extend the deadline to adopt the FY 2026-2027 budget by 30 days.
- **Water Treatment Filter Media Replacement**: A $1,029,094 agreement with Layne Christensen for replacement of filter media at the city's Water Treatment Facility, considered by the Adelanto Public Utility Authority.
- **Assessment District Public Hearings**: Public hearings and proposed resolutions for levy and collection of FY 2026/2027 assessments for Landscape Maintenance Assessment District No. 1, Streetlight Maintenance Assessment District No. 1, and Drainage Benefit Assessment District 2025-1.
- **Third-Party Claims Administration**: A proposed agreement between the City and Carl Warren & Company, LLC.
The Adelanto Public Utility Authority also considered a resolution to collect water and sewer standby fees via county tax rolls.
July 1: Sales Tax Measure Heads Agenda
The July 1 meeting centered on a proposal to place a 1% transactions and use tax before voters on November 3, 2026. Specifically, the agenda included:
- **Resolution No. 26-37**: To submit the City of Adelanto Services Measure (1% sales tax) to voters.
- **Ordinance No. 666**: Introduction of an ordinance adding Chapter 3.70 (Transactions and Use Tax) to the municipal code.
If approved by voters, the tax would generate revenue for city services, though the specific allocation was not detailed in the agenda summary.
Additional July 1 agenda items included:
- **Cannabis Compliance Agreement**: Amendment No. 1 to an agreement with HOsequio LLC (also referenced as Hosei LLC in one agenda version) for $300,000 over two years.
- **Marconi Park Improvements**: A $120,000 professional service agreement with Blue Builders, Inc. for parking lot rehabilitation, plus Change Order No. 1 adding up to $108,000 for seating and field striping.
- **Warrant Demands**: Approval of warrants totaling $2,506,047.92.
- **League of California Cities**: Designation of voting delegates for the League of California Cities conference.
What Residents Need to Know
Because minutes have not been published for either meeting, the status of every item listed above remains unconfirmed. Residents who want to verify what was actually decided should check the city's official meeting records at meet.adelantoca.gov or contact City Hall directly.
The proposed 1% sales tax measure, if placed on the ballot and approved by voters, would affect purchases throughout Adelanto. The Air Expressway rehabilitation, if approved, represents nearly $1.9 million in infrastructure spending along a major city roadway.
Coming Up
No upcoming meetings are listed for the next 14 days. Residents should monitor the city's website for newly posted agendas and for publication of minutes from the June 24 and July 1 meetings.
