Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Vacaville public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Choosing a Path — Possible Sales Tax Measure
The city manager reported 450+ responses to a survey about a possible November 2026 revenue measure, with a community meeting set for March 19 at Three Oaks Community Center. No council decision has been made yet.
Centennial Park Bike Park via Landify Partnership
A French-backed company is building the Centennial Park bike park at zero cost to the city by importing clean construction dirt — but the timeline stretches to 2033, which disappointed commissioners.
Youth Baseball and Softball Capacity Crunch
The council approved exclusive negotiating rights with a local group to study developing city-owned Nut Tree Park land near Browns Valley Parkway and Allison Drive. Neighbors and Solano County raised concerns about airport safety zones, traffic, and county involvement; any actual project would still require full entitlements and public hearings.
Police Budget Cuts
Vacaville's police are cutting a unit that helps the homeless to save cash and deal with fewer officers. This is part of a bigger city budget cut, and the police chief says more cuts could be coming.
