“Councilor, are you looking at slide five?”

“SO I'D LIKE TO IF WE COULD GET TO SLIDE TWO PLEASE. That's three. I'm looking for slide two, please. Thank you. So the question I had is, do we have an update to this particular map? Because I'm recognizing that Bessie Road here is still in the very poor condition, which now is one of the best roads in Tracy. And I also see that in front of West High along Lowell, that's all red, but that was also recently redone. So do we have an updated map on current conditions, including all the updates we've been making over the past couple years?”

“NEW SPEAKER PORTER OKAY. AND THE REASON I ASK IS FOR MY NEXT QUESTION IS IF WE COULD GO TO SLIDE FIVE. ONE MORE. FIVE. THERE WE GO. SO WHEN WE'RE LOOKING BETWEEN ZONES SIX AND ONE, SO I UNDERSTAND THAT THE ZONES WERE SELECTED OR ACTUALLY, CAN YOU DESCRIBE HOW THESE ZONES WERE SELECTED?”

“somewhere consistent on equity throughout the city understood and if i if i recall also that there was some economic benefits to clustering it in these particular ways um ms light word is that correct and my engineers can please correct me if i'm if i'm mistaken but this”
City Council · Aug 18, 2026

“Understood. Thank you. And then the reason why I was asking is because if we're looking at Zones 1 and 6, beyond Lowell Avenue in Zone 6, which is the large portion of red, the west portions of 1 and 6 are all appear to be in the blue and green mostly. But in Zones 1 and 6, it's the vast majority of red and yellow. So I was curious if we could potentially reconsider the zoning so that in order to maintain these economies of scale, would it be possible to do the eastern portion of one and the eastern portion of six into one zone, since those have the most need? Just something to consider. I…”

“Absolutely and I understand that I think what I think because it's going to be coming back to us for reconsideration and part of that will be a financing component but what I my ask would be is I don't I feel like I wouldn't be doing the public's due diligence if I'm not asking how do we get good roads and good being the condition of the bottom level of good so even if the council doesn't take that particular plan if we could have it as an option just so we can see the actual difference i think it'd be important for the public to be able to to evaluate for themselves saying is it worth 30…”

“Okay with that I'll go ahead and close the public comment period for item 6A. Before we have additional discussion I want to go ahead and ask staff. So we heard a question related to how does the prioritization become affected by the receipt of alternative funding sources. How does that change any particular plan.”
City Council · Aug 18, 2026

“Some of them are grants, some are state funding from state taxes. Every once in a while we get, we can get funding. So how would that affect these plans if we get additional funding?”
City Council · Aug 18, 2026
- Play at 3:06:09
“Understood. I have another question that will kind of go with that. So essentially, when there are particular funding opportunities, we reevaluate the priorities based on that economic opportunity to do additional work. I understand that. So I think the question that we have is, when we have additional funding that comes in, it sounds like the capacity we have to engage in the operations doesn't change. Is that correct? So essentially, if we got some, I think it was a hunk of ARPA funding, right?”
City Council · Aug 18, 2026
- Play at 3:06:42
“Yes, that's what it was. So we're utilizing that funding in lieu of public funding that we get locally as opposed to doing multiple simultaneous projects. So essentially, it's a financial prioritization versus an expansion of funding. and operations. Does that make sense? So do we ever consider expanding our potential operations or are we limited in capacity by staff capacity to do these particular projects in a certain way?”
