What is the Issue? ― Over the last six years alone, Wildomar lost over $12,500,000 from Sacramento. This has caused the City to: ― Cut back on neighborhood police patrols ― Cut back on maintenance and upgrades of local streets ― Cut back on maintenance and upgrades of local infrastructure ― Wildomar does not have enough fire stations, firefighters and emergency paramedics to address the needs of our growing city. ― A majority of responses to 911 calls don’t meet emergency medical time standards.
What is the Issue? ― State takeaways has caused the City to reduce neighborhood patrols. ― More than 30% of Wildomar’s streets are rated ‘poor’, ‘very poor’, or ‘failed’ by independent pavement management engineers, with many additional streets still unpaved. These essential repairs and safety improvements may become more expensive over time.
