Budget Challenges and Revenue Options
At its April 1 meeting, the Town Council received a presentation summarizing the Town's General Fund revenue challenges and community feedback gathered during recent public meetings on potential solutions. The adopted 2025–27 budget included over $6 million in operational reductions—including reducing three police positions, holding vacancies open, and deferring more than $5 million in road and park maintenance. Even with those cuts, nearly $8 million in reserves was needed to balance the budget, an approach that is not sustainable long-term.
Over the past three months, staff conducted 17 presentations to community groups, service organizations, and residents to explore all revenue options and hear directly about community priorities. These conversations helped shape the information presented to Council, including feedback on the services residents value most—such as public safety, road maintenance, and parks.
After hearing from staff, taking questions, and receiving public comments, the Council directed staff to continue educating the community on a potential 1% local transaction and use (sales) tax measure for the November 2026 ballot. Windsor is currently the only city in Sonoma County without a local sales tax, and its 9.25% rate is the lowest in the county. Revenue from a local sales tax would stay in Windsor, could not be taken by the state, and would help protect services like police, streets, parks, and community programs. Staff will develop draft ballot measure language and present the potential ballot measure documents to Council for review in June. Residents can learn more and share their input at townofwindsor.ca.gov/future.
The Town is pleased to announce that Town Council has adopted the Windsor Active Transportation Plan (ATP). Adopted on March 18, 2026, the ATP replaces the Town’s 2014 Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan and establishes an updated vision for walking, bicycling, and other forms of active transportation in Windsor.
The plan expands on the previous framework by incorporating emerging micromobility options such as e-bikes and scooters, while emphasizing safety, connectivity, and accessibility for users of all ages and abilities. It also reflects current policies, updated design standards, and community changes, including the introduction of SMART rail service.

What is WES?
The Water, Environment and Sustainability (WES) Division, is part of the Town of Windsor’s Public Works team – and they’re the people working behind the scenes to keep our community healthy, clean, and ready for the future.
“WES leads programs that protect public health, safeguard natural resources and advance sustainability and climate resilience across the community, says William Nahas, Deputy Director of Water and Environmental Management. “From protecting our drinking water to caring for the environment, WES brings together experts in water quality, environmental compliance, laboratory science, and sustainability to make sure Windsor stays a great place to live, work, and play.”
They help keep our water safe, make sure we meet important environmental standards, and lead projects that prepare our town for challenges like climate change. In short, WES is all about protecting what we have today while planning for a stronger, more sustainable Windsor tomorrow.
