10509 Vista Sorrento Parkway project appeal

critical↑Jan 2026[29]

high↑Jan 2026[27]

Affordable Housing Fund performance and volatile fee collections

Up to $8.5 million in developer-paid Neighborhood Enhancement Fees redirected to buying and preserving affordable housing.

critical↑Jan 2026[26]

Fiscal Year 2027 budget and rising costs

The city says every one-cent gas price increase adds $10,000 a month to its fuel bill.

high↑Oct 2026[25]

El Niño emergency preparedness

The declaration itself has no price tag, but it unlocks faster spending and contracting when storms hit.

high↑Oct 2026[25]

Temporary moratorium on data centers

Residents fear data centers would drive up already-high SDG&E bills and consume water in a drought; the city says the pause itself costs nothing.

critical↑Jan 2026[23]

Future water rate increases of roughly 5-15% per year are baked into the outlook, and the June election carries a $1.76 million budget.

medium↑Oct 2026[22]

La Jolla Cove sea lion protection

medium↑Oct 2026[22]

Domestic Violence Awareness Month

The city funds domestic violence programs and interim housing for survivors through its annual budget.

medium↑Apr 2026[21]

Chief Operating Officer appointment of Bethany Bezak

Bezak's starting salary is $460,000 — about $541,000 in total compensation — which some residents criticized given budget strains.
