The Arcata City Council will adopt updated goals and priority projects for the 2026–2027 fiscal year (July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027).

Which of the following possible goals are most important to you, if any? (You can choose up to FOUR)




Which of these major City service categories would you prioritize for funding? (You can choose up to THREE)




Arcata’s “Measure G” is a ¾‑cent Transactions and Use Tax (“sales tax”) that was approved by voters in November 2008 and is set to expire in 2028. Since then it has generated approximately $36 million, which has funded $20 million in street and transportation projects and the addition of four police officers to the police department.

Which of the following, if any, describe how you feel about potentially renewing Measure G in November 2026? (Choose all that apply, if any)




Arcata voters approved “Measure H” in November 2024 which is an additional ¾‑cent Transactions and Use Tax (“sales tax”) generating about $2.75 million per year.

How would you allocate those funds across these possible priorities?




Any other comments or suggestions about goals, projects, services, or programs you’d like the City of Arcata to consider for the upcoming budget?
