Financial planning will also be a main focus of the meeting. The third series of Measure A Bond sales—a $48.3 million measure passed in 2007—is scheduled to begin in March for $12.8 million.

A poll concerning bond measures and parcel taxes was reviewed at a Jan. 27 meeting, and while a parcel tax has been taken off the table, a bond measure placed on a June or November ballot remains a possibility.
