Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council FISCAL YEAR 2026–2027 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM STUDY SESSION (Public Works Director Joe SanClemente)
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council:
1. Review and provide comment on the proposed Fiscal Year (FY) 2026–2027 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) including proposed project scopes of work, project funding, sequencing and priorities, and the deferred and unfunded future project list (Attachment 1, Attachment 2, Attachment 3, and Attachment 4);

Executive Summary:
As part of the budget development process, this Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Study Session is being held to provide an opportunity for City Council to review and provide staff with recommendations on the proposed CIP, including the project scopes of work, project funding, sequencing and priorities, for next fiscal year. The FY 2026-27 CIP was reviewed at the May 5, 2026 Joint Parks and Recreation and Public Works Commission meeting, where Commission unanimously approved staff’s recommendations for further consideration by City Council.
With the exhaustion of many one-time funding opportunities, fewer resources are available for capital investment, increasing competition between operating and infrastructure needs. The CIP is structurally underfunded, and projects are now being completed at a rate faster than the CIP fund can be replenished – with annual spending now averaging approximately $8M – $12M, but only approximately $4.7M in new funds for FY 2026-27. The City can no longer rely on one-time or external funding to sustain its capital program, and identifying stable, ongoing funding solutions will be critical to maintaining infrastructure and long-term fiscal sustainability.
Meanwhile, the Public Works Department CIP workload is completely full for the next two years and is primarily focused on critical infrastructure and time sensitive projects, with no capacity to take on new projects. Many projects on the CIP are not fully funded, and
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 2 of 24
each year staff makes recommendations to allocate available funds to advance necessary phases of projects that align with staff workload for the year so that critical projects can continue to move forward. With constrained staffing and funding resources, that means the City will have to make tough choices each year regarding what can be reasonably delivered while considering the highest priorities and future needs.
Background:
This meeting provides an opportunity for City Council and the community to discuss and provide feedback on proposed Fiscal Year 2026–27 CIP. Project discussions assist staff in refining individual project scopes, funding allocations, priorities, and aligning staff capacity with agreed upon priorities.
Fiscal Environment and Implications for the CIP
The City’s CIP has historically been funded through one-time resources and external funding rather than ongoing, dedicated revenue. Unspent General Fund balances, postCOVID carryforwards, American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds (approximately $4.6 million), and vacancy savings have been used to advance capital projects and address infrastructure needs. While this approach allowed the City to maintain investment without establishing a permanent funding source, it was not sustainable.
These one-time resources are now largely depleted or declining. Year-end surpluses have diminished, ARPA funds have been fully expended, and vacancy savings are decreasing and unreliable as a long-term strategy. As a result, the funding model that has historically supported the CIP is no longer viable.
The CIP has also relied on State and County funding. While important, these sources are limited, competitive, and subject to changing requirements and funding cycles. Often the eligible uses for these funding sources do not align with the City’s greatest needs and can be time-consuming for staff to administer. They cannot be scaled to meet the City’s full infrastructure needs and do not provide a consistent or predictable funding stream, creating uncertainty in project delivery.
At the same time, cost pressures are increasing and significant capital needs remain unfunded. Deferred maintenance is driving higher long-term costs, construction inflation continues to escalate project expenses, and major projects—including the City Yard replacement and future Pier repair or reconstruction—remain unfunded.
These challenges are compounded by a structural imbalance in the General Fund, with expenditures outpacing revenues.
The CIP is structurally underfunded under the current model. Projects are now being completed at a rate faster than the CIP fund can be replenished. The City can no longer rely on one-time or external funding to sustain its capital program, and identifying stable,
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 3 of 24
ongoing funding solutions will be critical to maintaining infrastructure and long-term fiscal sustainability.
Key Challenges for Project Delivery
In addition to funding constraints, there are a number of factors that should be considered for the programming and delivery of the FY 2026-27 CIP and beyond:
Public Works Department CIP workload is completely full for the next two years with no capacity to take on new projects. Most of the projects currently programmed in the CIP are necessary to ensure public safety, are under strict grant or regulatory timelines, or are addressing deferred maintenance needs. Several projects have reached a critical stage and simply can no longer be deferred – for example, the Pier, City Yard, and the Dry Wells project, to name a few. With constrained staffing and funding resources, that means the City will have to make tough choices each year regarding what can be reasonably delivered while considering the highest priorities and future needs. Some projects may only be able to receive partial funding each FY to keep them advancing in a timely manner. The Public Works Operations and Maintenance (O&M) team plays a critical role in the planning and advancement of all CIPs. The O&M workload remains heavy (and over capacity) due to high demand for work orders (10–12 per calendar day), special event support, special projects, as well as regular maintenance activities. O&M workload demands directly impact capacity to deliver the CIP. The workplan for FY 2026-27 remains highly sensitive to staffing levels and changes in that workplan based on a wide range of demands (planned and unplanned) placed on our small engineering team and evolving complexity of each project as it advances through the process. The engineering department currently has one engineering vacancy, with hiring and retention remaining challenging in what continues to be a competitive market for engineers across the public and private sectors. Outside consultants are often used to help advance complex projects in a timely manner, and fill vacancies, but must be done in an efficient and responsible way given constrained funding resources. Any vacancy, or new project(s), or infrastructure emergency, will delay the projected schedule for programmed projects.
Major planned, unplanned, and potential projects in the coming year will require significant staff resources and present risk to the delivery of the overall CIP in the coming year:
o The City Yard Project will require a substantial time commitment from Public Works across the department – including both engineering and O&M staff – to advance planning and design and eventually the preparations required to potentially relocate off-site to facilitate environmental remediation and construction;
o Maintaining staffing levels across the department;
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 4 of 24
o Grant funded projects schedules are less predictable, and can be constrained, with some anticipated to start in FY 2026-2027 (e.g., CIP 143 PCH/ Aviation);
o Major contract negotiations and readvertisement of soon-to-experience maintenance services will impact O&M and Engineering staff (i.e., County Beaches and Harbors beach maintenance, landscape services, trees care, storm drain cleaning, janitorial, sewer cleaning). These efforts require deep evaluation of scopes of work and updates to better meet the service needs of the community and timely advertisement to ensure service continuity; o Roll-out of online permitting will require significantly dedicated staff time in coordination with other City Departments to develop, advance, and troubleshoot;
o Large upcoming third-party projects will require substantial coordination and oversight, including: LA County Sanitation Districts Sewer Rehabilitation Project, Caltrans’ Resurfacing of PCH, and Cal Water’s main replacement along Hermosa Avenue from 25th Street to 35th Street, and potentially other unplanned utility projects;
o Other non-CIP Special Projects requiring Public Works oversight and support (e.g., Hermosa Beach Little League improvements to Clark Field, dog park, etc.);
o Unplanned special events;
o Major storms, natural disasters, or other infrastructure emergencies; and o Other unplanned work.
Joint Commission Meeting
On May 5, 2026, the Parks and Recreation and Public Works Commissions (Commissions) held a Joint Meeting to discuss the FY 2026-2027 CIP. Following a detailed staff presentation, public comment, questions, and discussion, the Commissions unanimously approved staff’s recommendations for the CIP including proposed scopes of work, project funding, sequencing and priorities, and deferred and unfunded future project lists.

City of Hermosa Beach | Page 5 of 24
11 CIP projects, with an estimated construction value of $13.7M, are earmarked for completion by the end of this FY, including 8 projects complete as of May 19, 2026, and 3 projects in the close-out phase; in addition, 3 projects are also under construction and expected to either be complete or reach substantial completion prior to the end of the FY and 2 projects (CIP 107-Slurry Seal and CIP 504- Playground Equipment Improvements) were advertised for construction on April 30, 2026;
Prepared a comprehensive structural assessment and detailed cost-benefit analysis for the Municipal Pier and currently finalizing permitting and design for the current round of high priority structural repairs;
The Greenwich Village North Underground Utility Assessment District project went out to bid, awarded a contractor, issued bonds, assessed the district, and put shovels in the ground to underground utilities long sought to be removed by the community; and
Substantial advancement on numerous other CIP projects.
These projects were also completed amidst other unplanned emergencies that diverted staff time to address – such as urgent removal of 26 trees in City Parks to protect public safety in July 2025, removal of the Vetter Windmill assembly on July 24, 2025 following a structural inspection and assessment that identified safety concerns; emergency sink hole repair on Valley Drive near Valley Park in August 2025; emergency full closure of Parking Structure C in November 2025 due to structural concerns; and partial closure of the end of the Pier in January 2026 due to safety concerns.
The Public Works Department remains committed, and focused, on delivering critical high priority projects in the CIP. Historically, Public Works delivered about 4 CIPs per fiscal year—the completion rates have nearly tripled since FY 2023–24.

CIP 605 Facilities Conditions and Needs Assessment (Civic Center)—the Civic Facilities Project Advisory Group presented to Council the Consideration and Direction on Recommendations from their findings based on regular advisory group meetings at the July 22, 2025, City Council meeting. Council voted to receive and file recommendations from the City Manager’s Civic Facilities Project Advisory Group.
CIP 617 Civic Center Charging Stations—Staff coordinated with Southern California Edison to install 20 new level 2 charging stations at parking locations along Bard Street.
The project was completed in June 2025, with project close-out through July 2025.
CIP 633 Base 3 Electrical Repairs and Upgrades—This project included the upgrades to the building’s electrical system, including removal of existing electrical service panel and replacing it with a new 120/240V, 3W, 400A main service board, installation of 4” galvanized rigid conduit and weather head per SCE requirements, installation of new receptacles, extend existing conduits to new receptacles, remove existing light fixtures and install new ones, coordination with SCE for inspection and final connection in response to urgent needs at those facilities. The project was completed in December 2025, with project close-out through January 2026.
CIP 603 South Park Slope and Irrigation Repairs— The project included the demolition of existing irrigation system, shrubs and ground covers and installation of new irrigation system, approximately 4,400 square feet of new turf-sod, approximately 3,000 new shrubs, and 2 new trees. The contract was awarded to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder in the amount of $393,273 and well below the engineer’s estimate for the project. Staff also successfully applied for, and received, a reimbursable grant in the amount of $99,145 from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD) through its turf removal program and $189,849 from the State of California as a part of its 2018 Parks Bond Act Per Capita Grant Program. The lower than anticipated construction costs, combined with the grant funding, allowed for significant cost savings on the project and the release of $1,242,184 from the CIP fund balance. The project's construction phase began on April 14, 2025 with substantial completion taking place in October 2025. The project remained in closeout through May 2026 largely related to the grant administrative requirements and reimbursement process.
CIP 689 Clark Building Renovations—The project completely renovated the existing facility including a new commercial kitchen and new bathrooms and was opened on August 19, 2025, with project close-out completed in December 2025.
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 8 of 24
Projects for which construction was completed in FY 2025–26 and are currently in the close-out phase, include:
CIP 421 Annual Sewer Improvements—The $3.7M project constructed approximately 5,000 linear feet of new sewer pipe, installed 25 new maintenance access holes, installed 50 new maintenance access hole frames and covers, and reconstructed approximately 20,000 square feet of pavement, and performed other related sewer maintenance work throughout the City. Construction was completed under the original budget in April 2026 and is under project close-out.
CIP 630 Community Center Gas—This project includes replacing an existing 4-inch gas main line and extending the new gas lines through the roof into different areas of the building to feed and connect to various existing appliances and equipment along with abandoning existing gas lines. During the course of construction, additional environmental testing and remediation was required at some roof penetration locations.
The project has also required extensive coordination with SoCalGas. The cost for the project including added scope through change orders is $319,038. The anticipated completion date is May 2026 with project closeout through June 2026.
CIP 699 Parking Structure (Lot C) Improvements—The project included elevator refurbishment and high priority structural repairs originally identified a 2021 structural assessment of the facility. Due to staffing constraints at the time, the design of repairs advanced slowly and required supplemental structural inspections and testing to ensure the project addressed all high priority concerns. The project’s construction documents were updated and advertised for construction in January of 2025 and awarded at City Council on May 13, 2025, for a total authorized construction budget of $2,002,542.
Construction commenced in October of 2025.
The updated scope of work for this project focused on addressing the parking structure’s structural deficiencies, aged lighting fixtures, and included concrete repairs, crack sealing, waterproofing and traffic coatings, replacement of guardrails and barrier systems, electrical upgrades, sump pump replacement, and other necessary repairs to maintain the facility in optimal condition. During construction, additional structural deficiencies were identified, including compromised post-tensioning tendons, which required further investigation, temporary closure of the facility, and implementation of additional repairs.
To minimize future disruptions, staff incorporated additional structural repairs originally anticipated for a future phase into the current project.
Staff also took advantage of the temporary closure to complete a comprehensive repainting of the structure through a contract change order in the amount of $240,873, which was presented to the City Council on January 13, 2026, bringing the total authorized construction amount to $2,243,415. Construction was completed in April 2026 and is under project closeout.
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 9 of 24
Projects under construction and anticipated to reach completion or substantial completion prior by the end of FY 2025–26 include:
CIP 164 Hermosa Avenue Green Streets—The Enhanced Watershed Management Program identifies installation of distributed National Stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) as a requirement of the 2012 Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System permit. The project was advanced to bring the City toward compliance with requirements for trash and bacteria Total Maximum Daily Load.
The project includes installation of approximately 4,500 linear feet of permeable concrete gutter in the southern part of the City and planting of 37 trees on Hermosa Avenue. The project was designed through a contract managed by the City of Torrance for work in Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, and Torrance. The project was advertised for construction on January 16, 2025, bids were received on February 19, 2025, and the City of Torrance City Council awarded the contract at their May 2025 meeting with a total contract award of $7,738,584, shared between the cities. Construction for the overall project began in July 2025, with construction within Hermosa Beach commencing on February 9, 2026. Project completion, including punch list items is expected by late May 2026 with final project close-out and grant funding reports are anticipated by the end of September.
CIP 619 Kelly Court Renovations—The project was originally proposed to renovate and resurface the pickleball courts; however, during the design phase, the scope was expanded to include upgrades to the adjacent tennis and basketball courts to meet current clearance, safety, and accessibility standards. Planned improvements include relocating light poles and fencing, expanding the concrete slab to accommodate proper spacing, and replacing aging court equipment such as posts, nets, and backboards. Under the implementation of CIP 619, all courts will be resurfaced and restriped to meet current recreational design standards. As of April 16, 2026, the basketball courts have been resurfaced and re-opened to the public. Staff anticipates awarding a completion contract at the May 26, 2026, City Council meeting for the completion of the tennis and pickleball courts resurfacing which had unforeseen existing pavement conditions that required additional specialized repair prior to resurfacing; construction is anticipated to be completed by August 2026.
CIP 626 CDBG Improvements—CIP 626 is a critical project for the department due to requirements related to CDBG funds as the City’s receipt of future funds is contingent upon timely completion of projects. The project includes construction of 12 ADA-compliant curb ramps and approximately 500 square feet of new sidewalk along Monterey Boulevard between 2nd Street and 8th Street. The Engineering Division completed the design for the project in- house and advertised it for construction in January 2026. The construction contract was awarded in April 2026. Construction started on April
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 10 of 24
27, 2026, and is anticipated to be completed in May 2026 with close-out ongoing through September.
Projects which have progressed significantly in FY 2025–26 include:
CIP 106 Annual Paving and CIP 115 City Sidewalks Improvements—This project includes pavement rehabilitation, reconstruction of damaged concrete improvements, and re-striping along approximately 1.5 miles of roadways, including Aviation Boulevard (from Harper Avenue. to Pacific Coast Highway), Monterey Blvd (from Pier Avenue to Manhattan Avenue), 2nd Street (from Valley Drive to Hermosa Avenue), and various residential segments.
The City Sidewalk Improvement project (CIP 106) is being combined with CIP 115 for greater design, bidding, and construction efficiencies and will consist of reconstruction of damaged sidewalks, curb and gutter, as well as upgrading of curb ramps to current accessibility standards at various locations. The project will also include crosswalk striping and the installation of Rectangular Rapid-Flashing Beacons (RRFBs) at the intersections of Ardmore Avenue at both Longfellow Avenue and 25th Street.
Anticipating significant impacts on businesses, traffic flow, and parking, staff will phase the project construction to minimize impacts. The City will also implement a comprehensive project communication plan using various methods to raise awareness.
The project is currently in the design phase by the City’s engineering staff and is expected to go out for bid in August 2026.
CIP 107 Slurry Seal—This project involves crack and slurry sealing approximately 230,000 square feet across various city streets. For cracks between ¼ inch and 1 inch wide, sealing material will be applied. Cracks exceeding 1 inch will be patched with asphalt. Following the crack seal, an asphalt slurry seal will be applied to bond with the aged surface to extend the overall lifespan of the city’s roadways. The Project was advertised for construction on April 30, 2026, and the construction is anticipated to begin in summer 2026. The total project budget is $450,000. Slurry seal has not been performed by the City for many years and was reintroduced to the CIP in FY 2025-26 as a preventative maintenance treatment to extend the lifespan of the asphalt pavement.
CIP 111 Electronic, Gateway, and Wayfinding Signage—The project includes the evaluation, and potential installation, of gateway signage, downtown wayfinding signage, and a digital monument sign in front of the Community Center. Recommendations will include potential locations, preliminary design, and order of magnitude cost estimates for final design, sign fabrication, and installation for final consideration by City Council. The electronic sign will also require approvals by Caltrans and the Planning Commission. The project is largely funded by a donation of $500,000 from former Mayor Chuck Sheldon and his wife Missy, which are intended for the design and installation of the digital
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 11 of 24
monument sign, while any unused funds may be directed towards the gateway signage.
The City previously received a $50,000 contribution for the electronic sign from the Chamber of Commerce in 2014; the Chamber has since indicated that these funds could be redirected towards the downtown wayfinding signage. Staff is preparing preliminary designs, and further evaluating permitting requirements, and anticipates bringing an item to Public Works Commission in mid-2026.
CIP 113 City Wide Multi-Space Meters Deployment (Pier Avenue and Lot D)—The project includes the installation of multi-space meters along Pier Avenue and Parking Lot D. The CIP will include the purchase of new multi-space meters, engineering drawings for ADA and vehicle code compliance, demolition, and construction activities. During the December 9, 2025, City Council meeting, a contract with Flowbird America was approved to provide replacement meters for the Beach Parking Lots and provide meters as needed for ongoing parking projects, including CIP 113. Public Works engineering staff is actively preparing the design plans and anticipates advertising the project for construction in Summer 2026 with construction starting in Fall 2026.
This CIP is part of the City’s larger efforts to modernize the City’s parking system and best utilize the limited parking available in Hermosa Beach. Most of the existing infrastructure is at least 10 years old and rated in poor or very poor condition during a citywide evaluation in June 2023. The newer equipment will yield ongoing operational cost savings due to the reduction in number of parking meters, elimination of transaction fees paid by the City, and preparation for citywide automated license plate reader (“ALPR”) enforcement. Recent updates to the Parking 2.0 Roadmap presented to City Council at the January 14, 2025, meeting include the citywide rollout of mobile payment options as of August 2025, electronic parking permitting, and electronic citation issuance and payments as of April 2025.
Staff are preparing to rollout the new Community Service Officer (“CSO”) vehicles equipped with ALPR equipment in May 2026 in order to better manage the Beach Parking Lots, permits, time limited zones, and data collection to continually improve the parking system in Hermosa Beach. CIP 113 will be the test case for how the City will remove single space meters and replace with multi-space meters citywide in an effort to make parking easier to use, more efficient, and reduce operating costs for the City long term.
CIP 114 - Greenwich Village Underground Utilities project—This project, valued at approximately $4M consists of undergrounding the existing overhead utility lines located along Hermosa Avenue from 25th Street to 35th Street. The project is under construction.
CIP 143 PCH / Aviation Mobility Improvement Project—This project would advance conceptual designs for complete street project elements to improve mobility, accessibility, and safety along the Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) and Aviation Boulevard corridors in Hermosa Beach. The Project builds off the 2014 PCH-Aviation Beautification Final
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 12 of 24
Concept Plan and the 2015 Project Study Report (PSR) that was prepared by the City and Caltrans in 2015 and would advance the project to the next phase: the Project Initiation Document (PID) and Project Approval & Environmental Document (PA&ED). The PSR includes various options for enhancing landscape along PCH, potential utility pole undergrounding on PCH, pedestrians and bicycle enhancements (possible bike lanes on Aviation and enhanced bike crossings across PCH), intersection safety enhancements, and other safety improvements along the corridors.
The City applied for additional grant funding from the South Bay Cities Council of Governments (SBCCOG) to cover the initial project costs for the planning and environmental review phases of the project. Grant funding for the project was approved, now approximately $4.8M in total and will be administered through Metro. Metro staff is developing the funding agreement in coordination with Caltrans and City staff is anticipated to bring an item to City Council in Summer 2026 for consideration of approval of the funding agreement. While the project is being administered through Metro, it will require significant staff resources over a multi-year period and will need substantial additional funding for design and construction should it continue through the process.
CIP 193 Hermosa Ave Safety Improvements Project—This project consists of implementing various roadway safety improvements along Hermosa Avenue between Herondo Street and 25
th Street. The City has been approved by the South Bay Cities Council of Governments (SBCCOG) for $482,000 in grant funds for the planning and design phase of the project pending completion of a funding agreement with Metro. The agreement is being prepared and staff anticipates bringing an item to City Council in Summer 2026 for consideration of approval of the agreement. Should the project move forward, it would include evaluating options to enhance pedestrian safety at 5 intersections by constructing curb extensions and parking daylighting to enhance pedestrian visibility, accessibility improvements at intersections and bus stops, modification to the center median, such as median closure and restriping spaces to enhance/add parking as well as conversion to multi-space meters, and consideration of bicycle accommodations along Hermosa Avenue. These items would be discussed at Public Works Commission and brought to City Council for approval before advancing design.
CIP 438 Stormwater Dry Wells—This project will install a number of dry wells to help capture and infiltrate storm water runoff. The project is required per the City’s Watershed Management Plan (WMP), approved by the State Water Resources Control Board (Water Board). Failure to complete the project would likely result in significant fines and increased regulatory oversight. A formal request for a time extension on pollutant reduction goals has been submitted by the Beach Cities Group to the Water Board which, if approved, would extend the City’s compliance deadline to 2031.

The City’s original MWP had a total estimated cost range of $12.5M - $27M for the Greenbelt Infiltration project, which was cancelled by City Council due to objections from community members living in the vicinity of the proposed project. The City’s current WMP recommends using dry wells as they are more cost effective and logistically manageable than a large regional infiltration project and allow much greater flexibility for siting. It is anticipated that a revised project may cost approximately $4M in order of magnitude. In March 2026, Council approved a contract for the City to retain Geosyntec to assist the City with a revised feasibility analysis to help find the most efficient way of implementing the project, further define costs, and assist the city with submitting a grant application for Safe Clean Water (Measure W) funds to pay for design costs in partnership with City of Redondo Beach in Summer 2026. Should the City not be successful, when a potential award is announced in early 2027, staff recommends that the City expeditiously advance with a phased project to work towards compliance with whatever stormwater funding the City has available.
CIP 504 Playground Equipment Replacement Project– This project budgeted at $450,000 will provide playground enhancements in three City Parks. Work will include a full replacement of the two-to-five-year-old play structure with a new unit that has integrated shade and a new rubberized mat at Valley Park. Repairs will also be made to the existing 5- to 12-year-old structure and incorporate an integrated shade sail. Seaview Park will receive a full replacement of the existing play structure with a new unit with an integrated shade sail and rubberized mat. South Park will receive a replacement rubberized mat at center playfield area. City has utilized a cooperative purchasing agreement to procure the playground equipment and has advertised a bid package for the installation of the equipment on April 30, 2026, with installation in mid- to late-August 2026 after students return to school.
CIP 615 City Yard Renovation—This project is for the design, permitting, and construction of a new City Yard facility at 555 6th Street. The existing facility has far exceeded its useful life and is in poor condition with a growing urgency for extensive repairs and renovation to ensure continued use and efficient delivery service. Staff is actively working on advancing the project and retained the services of an experienced Owners Representative (OR) in January 2026, that will be responsible for coordinating the advancement of the overall project and assisting the City with developing a clear schedule and budget and advising the City on a project delivery method. Advancement of architectural programming and environmental assessment is necessary to determine an order of magnitude cost for any potential renovation and the necessary environmental remediation. Working with the OR, staff engaged the services of one of the City’s on-call architects (IDS Group) to lead the architectural programming effort and held a kick-off meeting on April 6, 2026. IDS is actively working on evaluating existing operations. The City team issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for CEQA and environmental services on February 19, 2026, received proposals on March 16, 2026, and anticipates bringing a contract to City Council for consideration at the May 26, 2026, meeting. Staff anticipates
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 14 of 24
bringing an item to City Council in Summer 2026 to further discuss the project including, but not limited to, project delivery options.
CIP 623 Municipal Pier Structural Inspection and Evaluation—CIP 623 includes the full detailed inspection of the Pier structure and the design and construction of the high priority repairs that must be completed by 2027.
At the May 13, 2025 CIP Study Session, staff provided Council with a preliminary update on the findings of the assessment report that indicated the need for substantial repair work with a rough order of magnitude cost of $6.7M over the next 5 years, including $3.7M of high priority repairs within the next 1 to 2 years to address high priority repairs; however only $3.7M was available at the time to fund the first phase of improvements. These initial results were used to identify and advance the design and permitting of the high priority repairs, which are now at the 75% design level and staff is actively working to finalize the design package, which may be subject to special conditions following the conclusion of permitting efforts with the Coastal Commission. The project scope includes replacement of 4 concrete deck panels, structural strengthening of 14 deck panels, and crack injection and spall repair for approximately 35% of deck panel soffits. Pending receipt of final permits, staff is anticipating advertising the project by Spring or Summer 2026, with start of construction targeted to begin as soon as October 2026 as the repairs must be completed as soon as possible. Concurrent with design development efforts, staff also applied for several grants but were not successful due to a high volume of competitive applications and limited funding availability.
At the March 24, 2026, City Council meeting, staff presented the results of the final structural inspection report and cost-benefit analysis to guide the City in near- and longterm decision making. The assessment determined that the Pier is in poor to serious structural condition and will require reinspection and repair every 5 years for the foreseeable future as the structure continues to age in a highly corrosive marine environment. A new Pier is estimated to cost approximately $58.6M (in 2032 dollars) and would save the City more than $100M in lifecycle costs if replaced. Due to the extensive planning, environmental review, and permitting requirements, the replacement process is expected to take at least 6 to 8 years before construction could begin. Council would need to provide direction on the potential for replacement by the end of 2026 to possibly break ground by 2032 or provide direction by no later than 2030 to break ground by 2036. The timing of the decision would impact whether the City will need to start reserving funds for the next round of repairs slated in 2030 that would need to be budgeted in the FY 2027- 2028 budget. Council directed staff to bring the proposed pier replacement project options to the Public Works Commission for further analysis.
CIP 635 Community Center Windows—This project includes evaluation of windows replacement for the entire facility to address deferred maintenance needs. The existing windows present safety and security concerns due to poor conditions. The City’s
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 15 of 24
architectural design consultant completed a preliminary needs assessment study with an order of magnitude cost estimate for budgeting purposes. This project is currently funded for design and permitting only; additional funding will be required for installation once costs are further defined. Staff will continue working on developing a scope of services for the design and permitting phase.
CIP 685 Real Time Crime Center—This federally-funded project consists of the installation of various security cameras and associated infrastructure throughout the City to enhance and augment the Police Department’s existing security cameras and viewing software. The City has entered into a Funding Agreement with the Federal government and is currently in the process of receiving approval to ensure its materials meet the terms and conditions of said Agreement. Given recent changes to the federal government’s staffing levels and recent federal government shutdowns, coordination with the City’s federal counterparties remains a challenge.
Proposed FY 2026–27 CIP
As part of the annual budget cycle, staff conducts a detailed review of each CIP project to refine project scopes and cost estimates. Staff also evaluates the CIP as a whole, including new project requests, grant- and funding-related timelines, public safety needs, and/or regulatory requirements against available funding and staffing levels. The resultant holistic and careful review is necessary to properly sequence and deliver the projects in a timely manner.
While staff made significant progress on many of the projects in the CIP this past year, staff identified several high priority projects that require funding in the upcoming fiscal year and beyond – as they were either not fully funded (e.g. previously funded only for design and no construction funds) or deemed underfunded as a result of rising costs and/or greater understanding of the scopes of work following design development. With limited funding for FY 2026-27, staff is recommending numerous funding transfers across the CIP to free up general fund dollars as much of the CIP utilizes various restricted funding sources. Notable changes to CIP funding include, but are not limited to, the following:
CIP 106 Annual Street Improvements - $1.16M increase (continued need to enhance pavement conditions)
CIP 113 Citywide Multi-space meter deployment - $150k increase (additional construction funding required; previously underfunded.) CIP 193 Hermosa Avenue Safety Improvements - $372k transfer (formerly CIP 193 Pedestrian Crossing Safety Improvements and has been renamed and merged with CIP 102 Bus Stop Safety Improvements. This funding is anticipated to be replaced with Measure MSP funds through Metro).
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 16 of 24
CIP 423 Annual Sewer - $2.29M increase (to address construction funding needs.
This amount also includes $300k in paving funds to enhance paving conditions on certain road segments beyond simple trench repair).
CIP 438 Stormwater Drywells - $1.18M increase (should staff not be successful in securing Safe Clean Water program grant funds for this project, this partial funding will allow the city to advance a first phase drywell design and construction to meet state stormwater mandates and avoid potential fines. It is anticipated that approximately $ 5M - 7M is needed for the overall construction cost). CIP 610 Fort Lots of Fun Park Wall and Gate Improvements - $175k increase to more adequately cover construction; previously underfunded. CIP 611 Parking Structure C Phase 2 Improvements - $25k increase (required to more adequately fund design; previously underfunded).
CIP 615 City Yard Renovation - $1M increase (to cover anticipated costs in the coming FY as the project remains underfunded).
CIP 623 Pier Structural Repairs - $975k increase (to cover anticipated increase in costs for construction).
CIP 625 Citywide ADA Improvements - $77k increase (to cover anticipated cost to design the project; the project remains underfunded with no construction funds). CIP 635 Community Center Windows - $76k increase (to cover anticipated cost to design and permit the project; the project remains significantly underfunded with no construction funds - $2.3M additional is required).
With limited funding and staffing resources to deliver projects, staff recommends moving two projects to the Deferred and Unfunded Future Project list:
CIP 621—Comprehensive Downtown Lighting – this project only has $142,284 available to advance conceptual design only and remains underfunded to advance any final design of construction.
CIP 618 —Tsunami Siren – the funding is tied to a FEMA grant which is largely insufficient to advance the project or at the desired location.
The adjustment to the CIP would allow staff to focus on delivery and necessary funding for numerous high-priority projects, while adding two new projects that have grown in urgency to address deferred facility maintenance:
CIP 636 —Civic Center Roof Repairs
CIP 637 —Lawn Bowling Roofing
The proposed FY 2026–27 CIP Budget would include 24 projects, of which 22 are carried over from FY 2025–26 and 2 projects are new. The new projects, and other recommended project deferrals and budget adjustments, would result in a CIP budget of $23,227,292 (Attachment 1).
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 17 of 24
While the CIP budget has grown significantly in recent years, it was largely a function of projects being added faster than they could be completed. FY 2026-27 is anticipated to show a marked decrease in overall funding as staff has been aggressively working to eliminate CIP backlog and CIP funding is no longer keeping up with the rate of expenditures. The Public Works Department is now spending approximately $8M to $12M on CIPs, but is only anticipated to have approximately $4.7M of new funds for FY 2026- 27; the majority of those new funds are restricted to specific uses. $-

The CIP is one of many components of the City’s overall budget and staff is working through department budget requests and will have a full picture of available funding, and whether further adjustments to the CIP are necessary, in advance of Budget adoption; therefore all estimates provided in this report are preliminary and subject to change.
Attachment 2 details an estimated schedule and sequencing for the delivery of the proposed FY 2026–27 CIP considering projected engineering project management staff capacity in labor hours versus the time commitment required to advance each project through design and construction. Several projects have fixed schedules in order to meet grant-specific and/or regulatory timelines and other high priority safety needs.
With 24 projects in the FY 2026-27 CIP, staff workload will remain extremely heavy for the next two fiscal years, and beyond, with no capacity to take on new projects as staff continues to work through a backlog of projects carried over from past years, address urgent deferred maintenance needs with other priority projects likely to be identified in the future.
The dates in the schedule are tentative and subject to revision depending on any future unplanned work, staffing levels, or as other Council priorities are identified throughout the year. Requests to advance one particular project over another will have a direct impact on the timing of other projects. Staff recommends a continued focus on prioritizing deferred maintenance and safety projects such as building maintenance, sidewalks, sewer, storm drains, and paving during FY 2026–27 over enhancement projects. Continued investment in basic foundational areas will help reduce future maintenance and capital costs.

Attachment 3 details the Five-Year CIP for FY 2026–27 through FY 2030–31 and the Deferred and Unfunded Future Projects list. This includes over nearly $60M in unfunded needs for currently programmed or recurring projects identified on the 5-year CIP, plus an additional $90M to $221M for projects not currently programmed but listed on the Deferred and Unfunded Future Projects list – notably this list was amended to include potential future reconstruction costs of the Pier roughly estimated at $58.6M (in 2032 dollars).
Project Summary Sheets are provided in Attachment 4 for projects recommended to be programed for FY 2026-27 and the Deferred and Unfunded Future Projects.
Additional Matters for Council Consideration:
1. Projects recommended to be moved to the Deferred and Unfunded Future Project list:
CIP 621 Comprehensive Downtown Lighting – the FY 2025-26 CIP set aside a $142,284 budget to cover preliminary design only and remains underfunded for any resulting final design and construction, which could be substantially higher for lighting upgrades or new lighting. Therefore, staff is recommending deferral of this project and replacement with 2 lower cost supplemental budget requests for further consideration:
i. LED Streetlight Conversion – replacement of the existing induction lights at the 28 street light poles along Pier Avenue with a light emitting diode (LED) retrofit lights. The new lights can be purchased for approximately $15,000 and installed by City crews. The new lights will enhance lighting levels, save on energy costs, and allow City crews to more readily address street light outages as the existing induction lights are essentially obsolete and difficult to source replacement parts. Staff is currently testing an LED light in front of 439 Pier Avenue (Stecca Taverna) and has ordered 2 additional test lights to further evaluate different color temperatures.
ii. Palm Tree String Light Installation – installation of string lights on the palm trees within the center median of Pier Avenue. In recent years the lighting on the center palms has been limited to during holidays, but this supplemental would keep them installed year long. Staff has identified LED rope lighting that are capable of different color settings. The lights could be purchased for approximately $14,000 and installed by City Crews. Based on prior efforts lighting these Palms, staff anticipates that this will require a recurring funding commitment to replace lights and address work orders associated with lights not functioning properly. The installation of these lights could also be considered by City Council to proceed as a publicPage 22 of 94 City of Hermosa Beach | Page 20 of 24
private partnership, through an agreement with the City and another nonprofit entity, such as the Chamber of Commerce. The Private Partner would determine and install the lighting and ensure proper maintenance with a licensed and insured contractor.
CIP 618 Tsunami Siren – The City was originally awarded an approximately $75,000 FEMA grant through CalOES as a passthrough to install a tsunami warning siren at the Community Center (this includes $75,000 from FEMA and a $25,000 City match for a total of $100,000. This location was originally identified as it was anticipated that Los Angeles County would implement the Beach Emergency Evacuation Lights System (BEELS) system along the beach and this location would provide expanded capacity. Staff learned from the County that installation of the BEELS system in Hermosa Beach is facing significant delays and there is no clear timeline for implementation. Staff also determined that the cost of installation of the BEELS system at the Community Center would likely cost more than $400,000 and is not fully covered by the grant. The Community Center is also not the ideal location for a standalone siren given its distance from the beach – installation of a secondary system, would not meet the greatest need.
As part of the FY 2025-26 budget process, staff had identified an alternative siren system, independent from BEELS, at three locations along our beach in an effort to deploy warning devices on a faster timeline until a more robust BEELS system could be deployed, but would cost upwards of approximately $160,000 for equipment and installation plus ongoing wireless communication costs – this option would not be able to use the current FEMA funding.
Staff recommends removing this project from the CIP and continue efforts to coordinate with CalOES on future plans to deploy the BEELS system and possible outside grants to cover the cost of a future project.
2. New Project Added to Deferred and Unfunded Future Project List:
Vetter Windmill – In July 2025, staff completed a comprehensive structural inspection and evaluation of the windmill, which identified serious structural concerns. On July 24, 2025, the City used a crane to address the immediate hazard by removing the windmill assembly. The engineering report found that the support holding the approximately 1,800-pound windmill unit atop the wooden tower is corroded, posing a serious risk that high winds or land movement could cause it to detach. Additional structural issues were also identified. Staff have since contacted experts familiar with the restoration and construction of windmills and obtained costs estimates for that work. The windmill assembly, which largely dates back to the early 1900’s, aside from some more recent refurbishments, could be fully restored, but the existing wooden structure and foundations would need to be
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 21 of 24
fully replaced. The restoration, design, and construction for this effort is estimated to cost between $400,000 and $500,000 to complete. Staff is recommending that this item be deferred given the high cost for replacement and constrained workload.
3. High Priority Projects Remain Underfunded:
Staff is proposing to advance high priority projects while funding critical phases to keep projects moving; however, several projects remain underfunded and the Deferred and Unfunded Future project list continues to grow each year. While staff will continue to actively pursue grant funding to advance critical projects, grants cannot be relied on to advance the City’s highest priorities. Grant programs are generally very restrictive and often do not align with the City’s greatest deferred maintenance need. Staff has applied for several grants in the past year, but were not successful due to a high volume of competitive applications and limited funding availability. The City is also at a competitive disadvantage as many grants give preference to disadvantaged communities for which the City of Hermosa Beach generally does not qualify. Grants can also be time intensive to administer and generally extend the delivery period for a project, especially when federal funding is involved.
There are several underfunded projects in the CIP that will require additional funding; however, staff recommends giving priority to the following in the nearterm:
i. City Yard – The full cost of the City Yard project is not well defined and is very roughly estimated in the order of magnitude of around $20M but is subject to change. Staff is actively advancing architectural programming and environmental work so that a more defined scope of work and budget can be determined for the project for consideration by City Council. Staff is recommending $1M increase to the FY 2026-27 budget for the CIP to cover ongoing costs to advance these efforts and reserve funds for future abatement needs. The City yard has far exceeded its useful life and is in poor condition with a growing urgency for extensive repairs and renovation to ensure continued use and service delivery and must move forward in a timely manner.
ii. Paving – the CIP includes 2 paving projects and staff is recommending an increase in funding levels for those projects by $4.3M for FY 2026-27. Staff anticipates creating a new paving project(s) in FY 2027-28 which will require at least $3.1M in construction (excluding design and inspection costs) just to maintain current pavement condition levels based on the most recently Pavement Management Program (PMP) plan (2024) or a higher amount to enhance condition. Continued investment in roadways will be critical to
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 22 of 24
reducing long-term deferred maintenance costs. Staff has two projects this FY and also recommending an increase in the Public Work maintenance budget to allow for enhanced efforts to perform crack sealing by city crews.
Resurfacing will require a continued funding commitment each year.
Staff recommends creating a new resurfacing project in FY 2027-28. iii. Community Center Windows – The Community Center Windows throughout the facility are in very poor condition and presents an ongoing safety concern. Staff has completed a preliminary needs assessment and determined that project could cost upwards of $2.5M to complete; however, due to limited funding resources is only recommending funding to advance the design and approvals process for the windows during FY 2026-27, with a goal of returning either at mid-year or as part of the FY 2027-28 budget cycle to request construction funding once the costs and design are more clearly defined. This project is growing in urgency and cannot continue to be deferred.
iv. Pier – The current round of repairs is slated to begin in 2026 and will only address the highest priority structural needs that must be addressed by 2027. The Pier is in poor to serious condition. Replacing the pier could save the City more than $100M in lifecycle costs but will require approximately $58.6M and take at least 6 to 8 years after a decision is made to advance before construction could begin. A decision would need to be made by the end of 2026 to advance with planning efforts, otherwise, the City will need to begin reserving funds in FY 2027-28 for the next round of repairs that would need to be completed by 2030. Continued dedication of funding for the Pier will be required in the near-term regardless of any decision to reconstruct or replace the Pier in the future. v. Dry Wells – This project is required per the City’s Watershed Management Plan (WMP), approved by the State Water Resources Control Board (Water Board) and must be advanced to avoid potential fines.
Staff recommends continued focus on advancing this project in a timely manner.
4. Special Projects Impact on CIP Delivery:
The Public Works Department CIP workload is completely full for the next two years with no capacity to take on new projects and the workplan for FY 2026-27 remains highly sensitive to staffing levels and changes in that workplan. The addition of projects outside of the CIP, such as Hermosa Beach Little League Improvements at Clark Field, or a potential dog park, or evaluation of new special events, directly reduce the availability of Public Works staff (both engineering and operations and maintenance) to work on other projects and limit overall service delivery. While the advancement of these types of projects by non-profit groups may reduce the City’s capital investment for the project, it does not
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 23 of 24
eliminate the design review and oversight role and will compete with other needs. The actual impact on overall CIP delivery will largely depend on actual timeline for advancement, completeness of design prepared by third party designers, fund raising, and Council direction on priority versus other projects. The addition of these projects, or others in the future, may require reconsideration of priorities in the CIP.
Ongoing Budget Process
As a reminder to City Council and the community, there are several upcoming meetings in which the CIP and Preliminary FY 2026–27 Budget will be discussed prior to final adoption; these meetings are in addition to the City Council Budget Study Session that was held on April 28, 2026, the Joint Parks and Recreation Commission review of the FY 2026-27 CIP held on May 5 ,2026, and Department Budget Presentations at the May 12, 2026 City Council meeting. The community is invited and encouraged to provide feedback in advance of each meeting:
May 26, 2026—City Council Budget Discussion
May 28, 2026—City Council CIP Study Session
June 9, 2026—City Council Budget Hearing
June 16, 2026—Planning Commission – CIP General Plan Conformance June 23, 2026—City Council Final Budget Hearing / Adoption of the FY 2026–27 Budget
Fiscal Impact:
The proposed FY 2026–27 Capital Improvement Program identifies an overall budget of $23,227,292 which includes $8,020,170 of requested additional funds for the CIP for the 2026–27 Fiscal Year. Of the $8,020,170 of requested additional funds, $4,703,618 is new revenue funds that the City is receiving with the remaining funds being carried out over the prior fiscal years or released of CIP project budgets in the current fiscal year. A majority of the new funds are from restricted use funding sources.
The funding is allocated in the following project categories:
Street + Highway Improvements: $8,074,820
Sewer + Storm Drain Improvements: $5,378,296
Park Improvements: $863,789
Public Building + Ground Improvements: $8,910,387
Staff also identified several other future projects and subsequent phases of current projects and added them to the Deferred and Unfunded Future Project list, including more than $60M in unfunded needs for currently programmed or recurring project needs, as identified on the 5-year CIP, and an additional $90M to $221M of other unfunded needs
City of Hermosa Beach | Page 24 of 24
for projects not currently programmed but identified on the Deferred and Unfunded Future Projects list.

1315 Valley Drive, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 | hermosabeach.gov | HermosaBeachCity HermosaBchCity CIP 106 Annual Street Improvements
Scope of Work
This project includes pavement rehabilitation, reconstruction of damaged concrete improvements, and re-striping along approximately 1.5 miles of roadways, including Aviation Boulevard (from Harper Avenue. to Pacific Coast Highway), Monterey Blvd (from Pier Avenue to Manhattan Avenue), 2nd Street (from Valley Drive to Hermosa Avenue), and various residential segments.
Justification
Hermosa Beach’s street network currently has a Pavement Condition Index (PCI) 68, which is a decline from 2021's PCI of 70. A minimum of $3.1 million in construction (excluding design and inspection costs) is needed on an annual basis to maintain or improve the City's roadway conditions. Current priorities focus on major arterials and collectors with the lowest PCI score roadways to improve overall pavement conditions. Continued investment in paving will reduce City’s long-term deferred maintenance costs and improve PCI.
Maintenance
Regular resurfacing is necessary to reduce recurring maintenance needs and long-term costs.

CIP 107 Slurry Seal Improvements
Scope of Work
This project involves crack and slurry sealing approximately 230,000 square feet across various city streets and restore street striping. For cracks between ¼ inch and 1 inch wide, sealing material will be applied. Cracks exceeding 1 inch will be patched with asphalt.
Justification
Following the crack seal, an asphalt slurry seal will be applied to bond with the aged surface to extend the overall lifespan of the city’s roadways. These improvements provide a protective surface layer that will last for approximately 5 to 7 years. Slurry sealing, including crack sealing, will help reduce long-term maintenance costs and increase the street’s Pavement condition Index (PCI) value.
Maintenance
Extends the lifespan of roadway surface reducing lifecycle costs.

This project will consider replacement of existing gateway signage and/or installation of new gateway signage at other prominent entry points to the City. The Downtown Wayfinding component would consider appropriateness of pedestrian/vehicle wayfinding in the Downtown (Pier from PCH to Hermosa Ave from 10th to 14th Street). Recommendations will include locations, preliminary design, and order of magnitude cost estimates for final design, sign fabrication, and construction. The current funding may only cover a portion of the project; however, staff is recommending to work within the existing budget.
Justification
Part of the Economic Development Strategy approved by the Economic Development Committee to improve the City's Downtown district.
Maintenance
The addition of new monument, gateway, and wayfinding signage will require maintenance.
Status
Conceptual Planning
Total FY 26-27 Project Budget
$603,845 (The project is largely funded by a $500,000 donation from former Mayor Chuck Sheldon and his wife, Missy, which are intended for the design and installation of the digital sign, with any unused funds maybe directed towards Gateway signage. A $50,000 donation from the Chamber of Commerce is intended for use on the downtown wayfinding signage).
