Lincoln council weighed sales tax ballot measure, bridge funding in recent meetings
The Lincoln City Council's June 24 regular meeting agenda included a possible one-cent sales tax ballot measure for the November 2026 election and more than $719,000 in funding tied to the McBean Bridge project. Minutes from that meeting and a July 1 special strategic planning session have not yet been published, so final outcomes are not confirmed in the available record.
Sales tax measure and November election
The June 24 agenda called for the council to discuss and potentially adopt resolutions declaring a November 3, 2026, election and placing a ballot measure before voters to approve a local one-cent (.01) sales tax for general city revenue. Because minutes are not yet available, the record does not show whether the council adopted the resolutions or what vote tally, if any, occurred.
McBean Bridge Project funding
The consent agenda listed acceptance of $569,248 in preliminary engineering funds and $150,000 in right-of-way funds for the McBean Bridge Project (CIP 353). The consent agenda also included a wildland fire protection agreement with CAL-FIRE and acceptance of park improvements. Consent items are typically approved in a single vote unless a member pulls an item for separate discussion, but the available record does not confirm the outcome.
Other agenda items
Additional items on the June 24 agenda included:
- A resolution to approve Annexation No. 29 (Stardust 78) into Community Facilities District No. 2018-1 (City Maintenance Services).
- A resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute an animal control contract renewal with Placer County for $170,779.
- A resolution accepting the Liberty at Lincoln Mabel Adams Ahart Park public improvements as complete.
A closed session was scheduled for existing litigation in the case of City of Lincoln v. The Gathering Inn. No details on the closed session are available in the public agenda.
Special meeting on strategic planning
On July 1, the City Council, Lincoln Redevelopment Successor Agency, and Lincoln Public Financing Authority held a special meeting for strategic planning and council-initiated business. The meeting was held at the Twelve Bridges Library and via Zoom. The agenda included public comment on non-agenda items and consent agenda items. Minutes have not yet been published.
Economic Development Committee meeting cancelled
The Economic Development Committee meeting scheduled for July 8, 2026, has been cancelled. The next regularly scheduled meeting is August 12, 2026, at 9:00 a.m.
