The City of Chula Vista is developing the Fiscal Year 2018 budget that funds important City services including public safety, public works, library, recreation, parks, economic development, conservation, maintenance, and more. The budget also includes the proposed Measure P allocations. Two workshops will be held to present elements of the draft Fiscal Year 2018 budget. Come hear about the Chula Vista General Funds budget and proposed funding for services and capital projects (Capital Improvement Program or CIP).

Open to the public, the workshops will be held on Wednesday, May 10, at 5:30 p.m. in Chula Vista City Hall, Executive Conference Room 103, 276 Fourth Avenue, and on Thursday, May 11, at 5:30 p.m. at the Otay Ranch Town Center Library HUB Community Room, 2015 Birch Road, Suite 409 (near the Food Pavilion).

Staff will present an overview of funding resources, a ten-year financial forecast, and describe the process for developing a balanced budget that will be presented to the City Council on May 23. The same information will be provided at both workshops. This is the first budget to include Measure P half-cent sales tax funding since the measure was approved by 68 percent of Chula Vista voters in November 2016. Measure P funds will support repairing or replacing infrastructure in the City including streets; parks; public safety equipment, vehicles and buildings; recreation centers; libraries; storm drains; and other infrastructure.
