Have you heard of Solana Beach's Measure S? The Solana Beach Municipal Election ballot includes Measure S – the Solana Beach Streets, Parks, Beaches and Services Measure – a proposed local one cent sales tax. Currently, 87% of the sales tax generated in Solana Beach goes to the State, County or SANDAG. If approved by voters, all revenues from Measure S would remain in the City of Solana Beach and would provide Solana Beach with additional local funding for City services that would address priorities identified by City residents in a community survey conducted earlier this year. These include maintaining local streets and repairing potholes, storm drains, and other infrastructure, keeping trash and pollution out of local waterways and off our beaches and keeping neighborhoods, parks, and other public areas safe and clean.

Community Advisories
Daylight Saving Time
It's almost time to “fall back” the clocks as Daylight saving time comes to an end this Sunday, November 6, 2022. Remember to set your clocks back an hour before going to bed this Saturday night (or at 2:00 AM on Sunday). This means you get an extra hour of sleep that night!
Fletcher Cove Park Walkway Repairs & Restoration
The restoration and repair of the concrete walkways at Fletcher Cove Park began on Monday, October 31st. Please be advised that this is a labor-intensive project requiring several weeks of manual work. While the contractor will be working in the park regularly, there will be short periods where segments of the walkways may be closed. The park will remain open and alternative access paths will be established. Please avoid construction areas while using or navigating through the park.
Community Events & Programs
City Hall Gallery Opening Reception
Come and explore the City's newest City Hall Gallery exhibition "3 Artists. 3 Points of View." Please join us this Sunday, November 6th, from 4:00 to 6:00 PM, for the opening reception and to meet the artists. Artist Jacqueline Bridge is a native New Yorker who came to California 10 years ago where she has evolved into the fine fixed glass artist she is today. Ms. Bridge adds other natural elements like clay to her work. Self-trained painter and Solana Beach resident Judy Moffson loves to work in oils and acrylics and is at her happiest discovering new subjects, colors and materials. Clay Maker Ingrid Hoffmeister is committed to following her inner visions and imagination, which seek actualization through her medium of clay.
