• Additional homeless services (Shelter Solano beds, outreach services, ServPro remediation and temporary assistance in the form of hotel beds)
• Increased connections between the Police Department youth through converting a Police Activities League (PAL) Program Coordinator from part time to full time along with program supplies
• Additional program needs and software for the Family Resource Center. 
• Funds to implement the Downtown Specific Plan. The plan will provide a framework for creating and maintaining a vibrant and healthy downtown.

6 new programs are included in the Measure M budget.

• Equity, diversity, and inclusion.  This comprehensive program will involve City staff and leadership, the Police Department, City Council, the community, and collaboration with the school district.
• Installing adaptive/sensory equipment in parks. This new equipment will allow visitors of all ages and abilities to enjoy our parks.
• Property abatement opportunities for property owners.
• Neighborhood cleanup efforts to keep our community safe, enjoyable and clean.
• Youth scholarships for low-income families.
• Grant matching pool, so the City is prepared to apply for competitive funding opportunities.

Each district and one at-large (Mayoral) will receive $50,000 to use for a project or service that benefits the community.  Allowable uses would include park or facility improvements, and community programs or services.

Eight park projects are included in the Measure M budget. Most of these parks have an estimated completion date within two years.  Based on the newly adopted Park and Recreation Master Plan, one park in each district is slated for improvements. Improvements may include new shade structures, additional seating, updated play equipment, and improved walking paths.  Funds to complete Phase I of the Play4All Park and light two ball fields, one at Centennial and one at Arlington Parks are also included.

We are excited to put Measure M to work for you, our community. And, we’re committed to regularly sharing how and where we are spending these funds. Vacaville is truly a great place to live, work and recreate. This is largely due to our great community members.  The City takes great pride in serving Vacaville and we believe in good stewardship and transparency of City finances.  Please check back for updates on Measure M projects and programs – past, present, and future.

The Street Task Force, funded by Measure M, was created to provide additional funding to catch up from the great recession and restore streets to a higher PCI. 

This is an ongoing multi-year project, funded in part by Measure M and part by the General Fund. Additional details on current street associated projects can be found here and completed projects here.
