Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Indio public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
TCC Grant Reapplication Strategy
The commission's TCC grant application didn't win, but Commissioner Jimenez wants the city to take nearly a full year to rebuild a more transformative application, attend Strategic Growth Council events to build relationships, and possibly use the city's on-call grant writing firm to spot opportunities early.
Measure X revenue performance and allocation
The half-cent sales tax brought in about $19 million — more than the $18.2 million projected. Most of it is committed to streets, the police headquarters, and bond debt service, but revenue is flattening, so future budgets may be tighter.
Utility users tax (Measure S) performance
The utility users tax collected $11.3 million, a bit better than the $11.1 million budgeted. It funds general city operations, and a detailed allocation report is coming later.
Growing capital projects list
Commissioners pressed staff on a capital projects list that keeps getting longer, asking how many projects actually get completed. Staff agreed to bring completion numbers back at the next meeting.
