The next regularly scheduled meeting is Tuesday, November 3, 2026.

No agenda items were listed for the cancelled meeting.

What the records show — and don't

An agenda lists items a body may take up; it does not establish that an item was heard, voted on, or approved. Because minutes for these meetings have not been published in the supplied material, the status of the Fourth Street contract, the Well No. 53 funding acceptance, the PlaceWorks agreement, the school district land exchange, and the vehicle incentive program is not established here. Readers should consult the official agendas and any subsequently posted minutes for the record.

Coming up

The supplied data lists no upcoming meetings in the next 14 days. The only forward-looking date in the records is the next regularly scheduled City Council/Housing Authority meeting on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, cited in the cancellation notice. An agenda for that meeting was not included in the supplied material.

What the records do and do not show

Every item above comes from an agenda. Because minutes have not been published for any of these meetings, this roundup cannot report what was decided, how anyone voted, or whether an item was pulled, continued, or amended. The dollar figures are the contract amounts and not-to-exceed ceilings written in the agendas; they are not payments made. The absence of minutes is not evidence that an item failed or was withdrawn.

Coming up

No upcoming meetings were listed in the data provided for the next 14 days. Readers should check the City of Ontario's official meeting calendar and posted agendas for scheduled sessions.

Ontario City Council to Set Special Taxes for 49 Districts; Planning Commission Weighs 71.6-Acre Logistics Plan

Ontario's City Council is scheduled to consider resolutions establishing annual special taxes for Fiscal Year 2026-27 across 49 Community Facilities Districts (CFDs) at its July 21 meeting.

City Council/Housing Authority — July 21

The agenda centers on the set of resolutions that would levy special taxes for the coming fiscal year across 49 CFDs. CFDs are special districts cities use to fund infrastructure and services, with costs typically passed to property owners within each district. No vote tallies or dollar amounts are available because minutes have not yet been published; the agenda only indicates the items are scheduled for consideration.

Planning Commission/Historic Preservation — July 24 and July 28

The Planning and Historic Preservation Commission is scheduled to hold public hearings on two land-use items:

• **Specific Plan Amendment (PSPA25-006):** Would reintroduce 71.6 acres at the southeast corner of Eucalyptus Avenue and Campus Avenue into the South Ontario Logistics Center Specific Plan, to conform with The Ontario Plan 2050. The amendment was continued from the June 23, 2026 meeting and ultimately requires City Council action. The agenda states a previous Environmental Impact Report would be used.
• **Tentative Parcel Map (PMTT23-001 / TPM 20328):** Would subdivide a 0.49-acre lot at 1325 and 1329 South Euclid Avenue into three parcels. The agenda states the project is categorically exempt from CEQA.

Both projects are within the Airport Influence Area of Ontario International Airport and were found consistent with applicable land use compatibility plans. Item PSA25-006 is also within the Chino Airport Influence Area and was found consistent with that plan. The consent calendar includes approval of the June 23, 2026 commission minutes.

Minutes have not yet been published, so no outcomes or votes can be confirmed.

Readers should consult the official minutes once posted for final actions and vote tallies.

City Council/Housing Authority — July 7

The City Council/Housing Authority agenda for July 7, 2026 listed several consent calendar items tied to the Ontario Grand Park project and other city functions:

What This Means for Residents

The Grand Park-related contract amendments and the cultural resource monitoring agreement represent scheduled spending tied to a major city park project. The California Office of Traffic Safety grant and the Kimberly-Clark Foundation donation to the Fire Department, if accepted, would bring outside funds into city operations. The Community Facilities District tax resolutions, if adopted, would set the annual special tax rates property owners in those districts pay for fiscal year 2026-27. The Library Board items are largely administrative, covering routine approvals and staff presentations on library services.

Coming Up

No upcoming meetings are listed for the next 14 days. Residents should check the city's official meeting calendar for any newly posted agendas.
