- Coronado’s Fire Rings, Beach Fire Rules: As summer approaches, the City would like to remind the community and visitors about its simple fire rings and beach fires rules. Coronado has eight fire rings at North Beach available on a first-come, first-served basis. The rules, which can be found online and at the beach, are simple: The City requires beachgoers to use only clean wood or charcoal; no burning of pallets; no fire materials should be higher than 12 inches above the upper edge of the fire ring; hot coals are to be placed in the proper receptacle; and anything brought on to the beach must be removed when leaving the beach. For more information, visit the Fact or Fiction: Answers to Rumors and Questions page online. Those who witness any beach rule violations are asked to call the non-emergency Police Department line at (619) 522-7350. To report any damage, illegal fire debris or trash that requires clean-up, call Public Services at (619) 522-7380.
- Fiscal Year 2017-18 Financial Plan and Budget: The draft Financial Plan and Budget for Fiscal Year 2017-18 has been released and is available online. The budget anticipates “All Fund” expenditures of $87 million over the 12-month budget period, which begins July 1. The General Fund, which is the City’s discretionary and largest fund, anticipates $53.59 million in revenues and $53.18 million in expenditures with an end of the year surplus of $411,500. All city services are proposed to be fully funded with a specific emphasis on long term financial stability. The budget provides for an elective additional contribution of $1.2 million toward future pension costs; $1.5 million toward future major facilities replacement; and $1.2 million toward future vehicle replacement. Major Capital Improvements proposed include irrigation and turf replacement at Sunset Park and a perimeter sidewalk along its south side; ongoing street preventative maintenance; and major repair of Bridgetown Bend and Port Royale in the Cays. The budget provides $200,000 in seed money to begin to explore the citywide undergrounding of overhead utilities. The City Council has scheduled a budget workshop for Tuesday, May 9, at 3 p.m.
