Special City Council Meeting – Council Annual Work Plan, June 17th, 4:00 p.m.
This Special City Council meeting is a review of the draft Fiscal Year 2026–2027 City Council Annual Work Plan. This is the document that helps set the Council’s priorities, focus areas, goals, and objectives for the year ahead.
No final project approval is listed with this item. Instead, Council will review the draft work plan and give direction to staff. This is a good meeting to watch if you want to understand what issues may receive Council attention in the coming year, and what may not.
San Dieguito Water District Board Meeting
The San Dieguito Water District Board meets Wednesday, June 17 at 5:00 p.m., with the main item focused on adopting the District’s Fiscal Year 2026–27 Operating and Capital Budget.
Most of the agenda is routine consent business, including waiving the full reading of ordinances and resolutions, approving the minutes from the May 20 meeting, approving the warrants list, and beginning the required biennial review of the District’s Conflict of Interest Code.
The key item is 10A, where the Board will consider two resolutions: one adopting the District’s operating and capital budget for the coming fiscal year, and another adopting position titles and pay ranges for FY 2026–27.
In short: this is primarily a budget and administrative meeting, but it matters because water district decisions affect infrastructure, staffing, spending priorities, and the long-term reliability of a basic public service.
Regular City Council Meeting:
This week’s Encinitas City Council meeting has a packed agenda, with major items covering parking, infrastructure, the city budget, public meeting rules, and the future of the Leucadia-Encinitas Farmers Market.
Several consent items involve city operations and infrastructure, including emergency sewer manhole repairs on San Elijo Avenue, final engineering work for the Leucadia at-grade rail crossings, acceptance of the citywide Leading Pedestrian Intervals project, and design approval for the La Costa Avenue Pedestrian Path Project. Council will also receive the final citywide Facilities Condition Assessment report, which looks at the condition of public buildings and facilities.
The action items are where the meeting gets more substantive. Council will hear an appeal of the conditional approval to relocate the Leucadia-Encinitas Farmers Market from Paul Ecke Central Elementary School to Oak Crest Middle School. Staff recommends denying the appeal and upholding the permit approval with conditions.
Council will also consider updates to the city’s permit parking program and parking enforcement rules, review the Urban Forest Advisory Committee’s accomplishments and proposed work plan, and adopt the Fiscal Year 2026–27 Operating Budget along with the five-year Capital Improvement Program and financial plan.
Other notable items include a proposed Memorandum of Understanding with The Encinitas Project, final adoption of a CalPERS classification change for Fire Marshal positions, and updates to City Council meeting policies related to time donations and digital speakers.
In short: this is a long and consequential meeting, with decisions that touch neighborhood parking, public infrastructure, city spending priorities, public participation, and one of Encinitas’ most visible community markets.
Bottom line takeaway: the biggest items to watch are the farmers market appeal, permit parking changes, FY 2026–27 budget/CIP adoption, UFAC work plan, The Encinitas Project MOU, and changes to public meeting speaker rules.
