Press Release #1

WILDOMAR, CA – The City of Wildomar has been awarded the highest form of recognition in the area of governmental accounting and financial reporting by the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA).

You know you're jelly!

“The Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting represents a significant accomplishment by a government and its management,” the GFOA stated in a press release regarding the award.

The award specifically recognized Wildomar’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for the fiscal year ended 2018, which was judged by an impartial panel to meet the high standards of the program.

“This is a big deal to us because it shows transparency and readability of our financial report,” said Mayor Marsha Swanson. “Staff works diligently on our reports to ensure full, clear disclosure and we are proud to be recognized for this exemplary award.” 

Press Release #2

The Future is Bright: Wildomar’s Street Lights Getting an Upgrade


WILDOMAR, CA - Wildomar’s street lights are in the process of being upgraded to LED lights, which will provide a longer lifespan, lower maintenance, minimize light pollution and provide better visibility for our streets. The retrofit program is projected to save the City of Wildomar more than $2 million in reduced energy and maintenance costs over the next 20 years.

A look at the old LPS style lights.

The street light retrofit project began in Wildomar on July 19, 2019 at the east end of the city on Clinton Keith Road and will be moving west and then north throughout July and August (please see attached map).

The work will be completed in about a month.

Street closures will be minimal, with most work being performed in the shoulder.

Once retrofitted, each pole will have a unique pole identifier that will allow both city staff and residents to identify a light that requires service in the future.

This project is part of the Western Riverside Council of Government’s (WRCOG) Regional Street Light Program that will ultimately retrofit 55,000 streetlights across Western Riverside County.

Mayor Marsha Swanson

“This project was the right thing to do for Wildomar and for all of Western Riverside as part of WRCOG’s regional program,” said Mayor Marsha Swanson. “The cost savings for the reduced energy, reduced maintenance plus clearer visibility and less light pollution; it was just the right thing to do for our residents.”
