The Manteca City Citizens Oversight Committee convened on October 1, 2025, to discuss the allocation of funds for street and road repairs, as well as updates on various city projects. The meeting began with a review of the streets budget, which totals approximately $4.5 million. This budget is intended to address both existing services and new projects, with $2.5 million allocated to backfill revenue losses and $2 million earmarked for additional street and road initiatives.

Committee members sought clarification on which specific roads would benefit from these funds and whether any contracts had been established for future expenditures. City officials confirmed that a pavement project schedule has been approved by the city council, but specific projects and funding details have yet to be finalized. Future updates will be provided as more information becomes available.

The discussion also touched on ongoing projects, such as those on Louise and Shasta Streets. Officials clarified that these projects are funded through different budget items, including federal and state grants, and are not directly tied to the current budget discussions.

Additionally, the committee addressed the procurement of two new fire engines, which have been approved under Measure Q funding. Officials confirmed that the funds for these engines are earmarked and included in the fiscal year 2026 budget.

The meeting concluded with a commitment to keep the committee informed about future funding allocations and project developments as they arise.
