In November 2018 residents of Fair Oaks Recreation & Park District (FORPD) passed Measure J, a $26 9 Million Dollar General Obligation Bond which will help fund major projects that will improve and expand the services provided by FORPD.
Progress continues throughout the Village as suitable weather allows construction to continue into the winter months Some major milestones have been hit on several key areas of the renovation
The foundation of the new Amphitheatre and Community Center building is laid out and layouts have begun for utilities to service the building.
Retaining walls, including on the rear of the bandshell in Village Park, have or will soon be poured and pass through inspections with the County.
Within the Clubhouse, rough framing, plumbing and electrical are being completed throughout the renovated restroom areas both upstairs in the Auditorium and downstairs in Village Hall
Parking space paving in Village Park is progressing, with curbs and sub bases readied for the arrival of permeable pavers to complete these tasks
The District has received approval from Sacramento County’s Department of Environmental Review to begin construction on several key accessibility features being funded by Congressman Ami Bera’s office
The District and Bobo Construction remain on schedule for the overall project As is the case with many projects across the country, there are minor delays to smaller portions of the project due to supply chain issues; however, the agility and creativity of Bobo Construction has been paying off by allowing the overall project to continue while weathering these issues.
The BOC is responsible for the overview of bond expenditures and certifies that all bond funds will only be spent on allowable bond projects as identified in the ballot language of Measure J. Members provide a valuable link between FORPD and the citizens of Fair Oaks in regard to the bond projects

Measure J was a first ever General Obligation Bond Measure that was passed by the Voters of Fair Oaks in November 2018 for $269 million dollars to do Park renovations and improvements
To sell the Bonds, the Fair Oaks Recreation & Park District (FORPD) needed to obtain a Bond Rating, which is very similar to a credit score FORPD sought a Bond Rating from Standard & Poor’s (S&P) which is the oldest credit ranking agency and one of the three Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations accredited by the US Securities and Exchange Commission The company covers more than one million credit ratings on government and corporate bonds, structured finance entities, and securities
Bond ratings are representations of the creditworthiness of government bonds The rating is published by S&P and provide evaluations of FORPD’s financial strength and capacity to repay the bond’s principal and interest
This October, S&P Global Ratings assigned it’s “AA “ long term rating to Fair Oaks Recreation & Park District for the third and final issuance of Bonds from the 2018 Measure J General Obligation Bond.
An AA rating is given to entities that have a very high capacity to repay their loans due to their financial position and attitude towards repaying debt. FORPD’S Board of Directors currently led by Chairman Raymond James Irwin, Vice Chair Darren Mounts, Director Ralph Carhart, Director Delinda Tamagni, and Director John O’Farrell have practiced sound financial management that has created the opportunity to receive such a high credit rating. The AA rating is estimated to save the taxpayers of Fair Oaks $900,000.
S&P says this about FORPD:
Very diverse tax base in the Sacramento region with very strong incomes and extremely strong property wealth indicators
Record of maintaining strong to very strong available general fund reserves Strong financial position that is supported by predictable tax revenues The stable outlook reflects our (S&P) expectation of continued balanced operational results, despite rising expenditures over the next few fiscal years
A Measure J mailer was sent via USPS to Fair Oaks residents This mailer included completed, current, and upcoming projects, Measure J financials, and how the bond is being overseen You may view the digital publication by clicking here or you may pick up a printed copy Monday Friday, 9am 5pm, in the District office
Visit us online forpd.org/352/Measure J for additional details.
In September of 2022, the Fair Oaks Recreation & Park District’s park employees were recognized by the Board of Directors with an Excellence in Safety Award. This award was granted to the staff due to an exemplary record of safety throughout the calendar year which resulted in zero workplace incidents, accidents or injuries At the time of the award, staff had maintained an incident free workplace for over 300 days; at the time of this writing, staff has continued with their excellent habits and surpassed a full year without incident! This is not only an integral part of maintaining an effective workforce with high morale, but the incident free workplace is also a considerable savings to the taxpayers of Fair Oaks Bravo, parks staff! Keep up the good work!
