位于加利福尼亚州圣迭戈县的圣迭戈市市长 Todd Gloria，在11月9日致居民的市长通讯中通报：市政府每年秋季发布的《五年财政展望》二十年来首次呈正向，显示该市普通基金收支已经平衡，下一财政年度将以预算平衡开局。
Gloria 表示，这是市政财务的一个重要里程碑。他说，其政府多年来不得不作出艰难抉择、削减开支并重组市政运作，才走到普通基金恢复平衡这一步；他称自己当选市长时接手的是积攒数十年的财政难题与基础设施欠账，今后市府将量入为出、提前规划，并把支出与可用资源对齐。

通讯还汇总了多项市政动态：救世军 Rady 中心破土动工，将增加收容床位与永久支持性住房；Grantville 社区 Twain Avenue 超过半英里路段完成修复；市府为市警察局争取到150万美元州资金用于人口贩运防治（州众议员 Tasha Boerner 促成）；圣迭戈河公园基金会年度大清理累计从河中清走超过20万磅垃圾；市府与 MAAC Project 合作的垃圾与回收服务费用援助计划，本轮申请截止日期为2027年4月30日。

San Diego's Five-Year Financial Outlook Turns Positive for the First Time in 20 Years; Mayor Gloria Says the City Will Open the Next Fiscal Year With a Balanced Budget
Mayor Todd Gloria of San Diego, a city in San Diego County, California, told residents in his November 9 mayoral update that the city's Five-Year Financial Outlook, published every fall, is positive for the first time in twenty years. The outlook shows that the General Fund is in balance and that San Diego will begin the next fiscal year with a balanced budget.
Gloria called it a major milestone. He said his administration had to make difficult choices for years, reduce spending and restructure city operations to reach more stable financial footing. He said he inherited longstanding financial challenges and infrastructure needs that had been piling up for decades when he was first elected mayor, and that the city will now plan responsibly, keep spending aligned with its resources and address problems early.
In the same update, the city announced El Niño preparations: a community preparedness and sandbag distribution event on November 14, from 9 a.m. to noon or while supplies last, at Neal Petties Community Park in Mountain View (641 S. Boundary St., 92113). Each San Diego household can pick up ten free filled sandbags and learn how to prepare for high tides and potential heavy rain. The city said it has been preparing for months.
The update also rounded up other city business: the Salvation Army's Rady Center broke ground, bringing more shelter beds and permanent supportive housing; more than half a mile of Twain Avenue in Grantville was repaired; $1.5 million in state funding was secured for the San Diego Police Department's work against human trafficking, with Assemblymember Tasha Boerner credited for securing it; the San Diego River Park Foundation's Great River Clean Up has removed more than 200,000 pounds of trash from the river; and the deadline to apply for the city's Financial Assistance Program, run with the MAAC Project for customers of city trash and recycling services, is April 30, 2027.
