New City Budget Provides for High Quality Services The City of Vista continues to benefit from both the State and national economic climate. The current national expansion entered its 11th year in July, becoming the longest expansion in U.S. history. While a slowdown is inevitable at some point, the City is well positioned financially with healthy emergency reserves to better weather future fluctuations in the nation’s economy.

The City has set its annual spending plan for Fiscal Year 2019/20, which runs from July 1 through June 30. The $83 million operating (General Fund) budget covers everyday important services, such as fire and law enforcement protection, road and park repairs, recreation services, and youth and senior programs. This balanced budget keeps the focus on protecting city investments and providing high-quality services to Vista residents.

The Capital Improvement Budget, which funds long-term infrastructure projects such as street improvements, traffic signals, sewer infrastructure, park upgrades, and the Paseo Santa Fe downtown improvements, will fund almost $20 million in projects across the city during the 2019/20 fiscal year. i

Not Every Hero Wears a Cape: Plan & Practice Your Escape Not Every Hero Wears a Cape. Plan and Practice Your Escape is this year’s theme for National Fire Prevention Week, October 6-12. “We are celebrating people of all ages who learn about home fire escape planning and practice, bring that information home, and spur their families to action,” said Jeff Hahn, Vista Fire Chief.

“From students who learn about fire prevention at school, to parents who attend a community event such as a fire station or open house, all are heroes because they are taking steps to make their households much safer from fire.”

A home escape plan includes working smoke alarms on every level of the home, in every bedroom, and near all sleeping areas. It also includes two ways out of every room, usually a door and a window, with a clear path to an outside meeting place that’s a safe distance from the home. Home escape plans should be practiced twice a year by all members of the household.

The Vista Fire Department will host an Open House during Fire Prevention Week on October 12.

First of Its Kind: Film Hub Debuts Downtown

Be In the Know: Vista News Updates

About three years ago, Lauren Fehlhaber pitched the idea of a film coworking space in Vista to her father Jim Ellis and his business partner at Inspired Images Studios. However, this wouldn’t be the usual coworking space - it would include a video and audio production facility under the same roof.

Sign Up for Monday News Alerts

Fast forward to June, 2019, where the Film Hub, the first-of-its-kind coworking space specifically geared toward the film and TV industry, opened its doors in downtown Vista. The 12,500 square-foot facility is expected to not only be a boon for the local film and TV industry but also for the community and surrounding businesses.

“The Film Hub is a fully accessible high tech office where residents can work individually or in teams,” said Kevin Ham, Vista’s Economic Development Director. “This will reduce vehicle trips and increase downtown foot traffic to support surrounding businesses.”

The Film Hub will also attract businesses that serve the film industry, as well as radio, television, advertising companies, creative shops, graphic designers, casting companies, and post-production companies. All creatives are welcome.

To learn about Vista’s Economic Development and business opportunities, call 760.643.5243.

Voter Approved Measure Z Medical Cannabis Storefront Retailers VOTER APPROVED MEASURE Measure Z, a citizen’s initiative that qualified for the November 2018 ballot, was passed by Vista voters with 53.81% voting in favor of the measure. As required by law, the City was unable to make changes to the measure presented to the voters, and is now in the process of implementing the measure as approved.

Measure Z allows for up to eleven medical cannabis storefront retailers to operate in the city of Vista. The businesses may only be located in commercial, mixed-use, industrial park, or light manufacturing zones as designated in the Vista Municipal Code. The retail storefronts are prohibited in residential zones and within 600 feet of a pre-existing sensitive use areas such as a day care center, school, youth center, or playground.

ANTICIPATED TAX REVENUE The City will collect seven percent tax on each business’ gross receipts. Initial revenue estimates from the tax could exceed $1 million annually - if all eleven dispensaries are in operation. These funds will be placed in the City’s General Fund and may be used for any city-related purpose.

WHAT IS HAPPENING NOW?

The City issued eleven medical cannabis businesses “Notices of Completed Registration” as of this publication date. This means the businesses are eligible to apply for a license from the California State Bureau of Cannabis Control. Once a business has received its State license, a certificate of occupancy, and business license from the City, it is eligible to open. A map of businesses, with Notices of Completed Registration, and a spreadsheet tracking the progress of these businesses in the licensing process, is available on the City website. i
