This Measure added an additional one cent to Atascadero’s sales tax rate. The new amount became effective April 2021. Twenty public meetings were held between January 2021 and June 2021 in order to stimulate robust dialogs regarding the priorities of the community and how these funds should be best spent. Over 130 community members attended at least one of the nine related budget study sessions, and over 150 pages of input were recorded from those meetings. From there, the Council held a series of priority setting sessions and along with community members, created four organizational priorities and supporting focus areas. City staff worked with a consultant to develop an Action Plan to advance the key focus areas of each of the four priorities. The Council adopted this plan at their April 27, 2021, meeting. Staff developed the budget to fund those activities that were adopted in the Action Plan, and reviewed them with the Finance Committee. The Council adopted the final 2021-2023 budget on June 8, 2021. The list in this report details those specific items in the adopted budget that will use the Measure D-20 funds.
