(BCN) – Campbell devotes millions of dollars to improve the quality of life for residents despite the lack of budget.
The Campbell Planning Committee unanimously agreed on Tuesday that more than $ 100 million of public projects are in line with the city’s goals during the next five years, including a $ 12 million proposal to restore the community center. Campbell can give priority to these projects during financial uncertainty due to various sources of financing, although the city faces about $ 3.2 million in the budget deficit for the fiscal year 2025-26.
The billiard project, which employees say has long been late, will be largely funded by the garden fees that the city brings the city to developers. Other large ticket elements, including the police headquarters of $ 27.3 million and a library worth $ 13.6 million, are funded through the OM – $ 50 million of voters approved in 2018. bond projects have been underway for more than a year and must be built entirely at some time between August and September.
Campbell City Council will review projects in June when the deficit is analyzed, along with the budget of approximately $ 67.6 million. This deficiency is due to an expected loss of $ 650,000 in sales tax revenue, as well as an increase of $ 558,000 in employment costs such as retirement funds and an increase of $ 45,800 in fire management contract in Santa Clara Province. City employees recommend the implementation of a temporary freezing of employment, or to reduce temporary workers in the coming fiscal year and postpone employment and purchase requests to address uncertainty. Campbell implemented a 1 % decrease in operating costs for all departments.
The city director, Brian Lovental, said that Campbell could not work on the largest possible number of public projects without financing through grants and state dollars. To enhance efforts, the city aims to attract companies that generate sales tax revenue.
“These sources of financing allow us to do all those things that keep Campbell, Campbell: filling the pits, repairing streets, and repairing the infrastructure,” said the tongue of Jose WWT. “These are all important things and may become more expensive over time if you don’t keep them.”
The new proposed projects also include about $ 3.6 million for annual maintenance maintenance and $ 950,000 to expand VTA’s ability to accelerate the measuring light of stopping to help buses move faster through traffic, as well as the reshaping of billiards. The pool, created in the fifties, is the most batch proposal. Campbell conducted a scrutiny on the pool in 2017, which was found to be fully renewed. It generates 1,100 visits every week during the school year and 2200 every week during the summer, according to the city’s data.
Instan residents buy swimming rolls in the swimming pool three days a week. She wants to restart tank rooms, but she said she was concerned about the effects of the pool re -gathering.
“I don’t want to see the price rises (to swim) because it is fictional,” Buyse told San Jose Spotlight. “I don’t care about imagination, and I care about the end result – it can be accessed for everyone, at reasonable prices.”
Campbell faced a deficit before the work management in community projects. Last year, the city set about 5 million dollars a deficit while the police station and building was under construction.
Matt Kamkar, head of the Planning Committee, said that it will help if the city can use money from Measure K, a half -year sales tax 72 % of approved voters last year. This procedure is expected to bring $ 7 million annually, but the city cannot reach its money because the Silicon Tax Association is challenging it in court.
“The city’s job is to serve its residents,” Kamkar told San Jose Straiz. “You must be optimistic. We hope this challenge will be overcome.”
