Program Description
The Storm Water/NPDES program is necessary for compliance with the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board's NPDES Permit, for which the City is identified as a Permittee. The Permit requires the City to implement pollutant reduction measures for storm water discharges, eliminate non-storm water discharges, educate the public on impacts they have on protected waterbodies, conduct inspections at commercial/industrial facilities and public/private mitigation devices, and conduct water quality sampling and monitoring.

Budget Highlights
The FY 2026-27 budget has a reduction in Contract Services due to a portion of the cost for Catch Basin Maintenance shared in the Measure W Fund (18), as well as a new account for Drainage Facilities Maintenance moved from the Public Works (42) Program.

Program Description
The Lanterman House program provides funding to the City-owned Lanterman House. The Lanterman House, located at 4420 Encinas Drive, was presented to the City as a gift from the Lanterman Family in January 1985. The house was built in 1915 by the Lanterman family and still contains all of the original furnishings. Plans to remodel and refurbish the house into a museum and limited cultural center were completed in 1993 and can now be enjoyed by the entire community and local historians. The City recevied a grant from the State of California to aid in the restoration process. The City's annual funding supports the day-to-day management and operations of the facility as well as other elements consistent with provisions of the Lanterman Museum Foundation Agreement.

Budget Highlights
As a way of supporting the Lanterman House Historical Foundation's operations of the Lanterman House facility, the FY 2026-27 includes the annual contribution in the Professional Services account rather than the Contribution to Community Groups account to reflect the Foundation's professional services provided to the City. 178,123 178,227 196,240 182,480

Fund Description
The Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Fund (SLESF) grant from the State of California funds "front-line" law enforcement programs.

Budget Highlights
For FY 2026-27 budget, all monies received from the SLESF grant are being transferred into the General Fund to pay for the City's ongoing Sheriff contract costs, rather than budgeting a portion of these contract costs directly within the SLESF Fund. This will consolidate all of the City's Sheriff contract costs within the City's General Fund.

Fund Description
The Gas Tax Fund accounts for State of California Gas Tax receipts that are spent on the maintenance and improvement of roads and streets. To be eligible for certain Gas Tax funds, the City must maintain an adequate level of General Fund expenditures on street and road improvements.

Budget Highlights
Given the restrictive use of the Gas Tax fund (tied specifically to roads and streets), the year-to-year primary use has remained focused on County service requests used to repair and maintain the City roads.

Los Angeles County voters approved Proposition A in 1990, with no sunset date, which added an additional 1/2-cent to the sales tax collected in the county. Los Angeles County Metropolitan Authority (Metro) administers Prop A and distributes 25% of Prop A net revenues to local jurisdictions (Local Return). Prop A Local Return funds are restricted to transit-related programs.

Strategic Focus Areas
Technology as a Force Multiplier
A central theme of this year’s requests is the continued investment in technology-driven solutions that enhance deputy effectiveness without requiring proportional increases in staffing.

The expansion of Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) systems represents the highest priority.

These systems continuously scan and analyze license plates in real time, identifying stolen vehicles, wanted subjects, and other alerts. This capability significantly increases productivity by allowing deputies to focus on proactive policing while technology performs high-volume data processing in the background.

Similarly, the proposed Unmanned Aerial System (UAS/Drone) program provides real-time aerial situational awareness, particularly valuable given the City’s hillside geography and limited access routes. This capability improves response times and reduces reliance on more costly air support resources.

Together, these tools represent a shift toward scalable, cost-effective public safety enhancements that improve outcomes while managing long-term personnel costs.

Flexible and Rapid Deployment Resources
Several proposed items focus on providing the Sheriff’s Department with mobile, adaptable resources that can be deployed based on real-time conditions and community needs.

The Flock LPR Speed Feedback Trailer and Flock Mobile Security Trailer provide portable, solarpowered systems that can be rapidly deployed to areas experiencing crime trends, traffic concerns, or increased activity such as special events.

These tools allow the City to:
• Expand coverage without permanent infrastructure

VISIT THE CONNECTLCF PORTAL 
• Respond quickly to changing conditions
• Provide visible deterrence to criminal and unsafe driving behavior • Collect actionable data to inform future decisions
Additionally, the Traffic Analytics component (if approved as part of the Traffic Analysis CCI) provides valuable data on vehicle volumes, travel patterns, and roadway usage, supporting both public safety and Public Works planning efforts.

Enhanced Mobility and Community-Oriented Policing
The proposed E-Bicycle (E-Bike) program enhances the Sheriff’s Department’s ability to operate effectively in environments where traditional patrol vehicles are less practical, such as community events, parks, and congested areas.

E-Bikes provide:
• Increased mobility and faster response in dense environments • Greater visibility and approachability for deputies
• Enhanced community engagement opportunities
• A cost-effective alternative to traditional patrol vehicles This program supports both operational efficiency and community-oriented policing objectives.

Staff is also recommending the acquisition of an operational support vehicle to enhance the Sheriff’s Department’s investigative capabilities within the City. This unmarked vehicle will allow the Detective Bureau to conduct surveillance operations discreetly, improving the ability to gather intelligence, preserve case integrity, and support proactive enforcement efforts. By enabling deputies to operate inconspicuously and respond more effectively to evolving situations, the vehicle serves as a force multiplier that strengthens investigative outcomes and enhances overall public safety.

Emergency Response and Life-Safety Equipment
In addition to law enforcement-related enhancements, the City is also evaluating targeted investments that support fire and emergency medical response capabilities.

The proposed acquisition of a battery-powered rescue combi tool for Paramedic Rescue Squad 19 represents a focused investment in life-safety equipment that directly impacts emergency response outcomes. This tool integrates cutting and spreading functions into a single unit, allowing for rapid vehicle extrication in situations where individuals are trapped.

The battery-powered design significantly improves deployment time and operational efficiency by eliminating the need for hydraulic hoses and external power units, enabling a single responder to initiate rescue operations immediately. This enhancement is particularly critical in time-sensitive incidents where seconds can impact patient outcomes.

This request complements the broader public safety strategy by ensuring that fire rescue operations are equipped with modern, efficient tools, consistent with the City’s overall approach to leveraging technology to improve service delivery.

VISIT THE CONNECTLCF PORTAL 
Integrated Approach to Public Safety
The FY 2026–27 public safety budget requests reflect a strategic evolution in how the City approaches public safety, emphasizing technology, flexibility, and efficiency. The proposed items are designed to function as a comprehensive and integrated strategy, combining technology investments such as ALPR and UAS to enhance detection, awareness, and response; mobile assets to provide flexible, rapid deployment capabilities; mobility tools like E-Bikes to improve field operations and community interaction; and targeted fire service equipment to strengthen emergency rescue capabilities.

The Sheriff’s Department’s prioritization underscores the importance of investing in tools that strengthen real-time situational awareness and maximize the effectiveness of existing personnel, while the Fire Department's request highlights the City’s commitment to enhancing life-safety response capabilities.

Collectively, these investments represent a shift toward a modern, data-driven, and adaptable public safety model that improves service delivery while leveraging current resources.

Request Title E-Bicycles (E-Bikes) for Specialized Operations Department Policy and Executive Management Department
Requested Amount $22,000
Account Number(s) 01-21-7101
Background The Sheriff’s Department has identified a need for E-Bikes for specialized operations.

E-Bikes provide a highly efficient and flexible option, particularly well-suited for special events and densely populated environments where traditional vehicles are limited by congestion, restricted access, or parking constraints. Their compact size and electric assist capability allows deputies to navigate crowds, park areas, and event perimeters quickly and quietly, improving response times while maintaining a visible law enforcement presence. This mobility enhances situational awareness and allows for rapid engagement or de-escalation in dynamic environments, all while reducing fatigue compared to standard bicycles.

From a budget and operational standpoint, E-Bikes offer a cost-effective alternative to full-sized patrol vehicles, with significantly lower acquisition, maintenance, and fuel costs. They also support community-oriented policing by enabling more approachable, face-to-face interactions between deputies and the public, which is especially valuable during special events. Additionally, their low environmental impact and minimal noise contribute to a safer and more enjoyable atmosphere, while still providing deputies with the speed and range needed to effectively manage crowds, monitor traffic flow, and respond to incidents in real time.

This is the Sheriff’s Department’s second priority.

Justification The Sheriff’s Department is requesting the purchase of four E-Bikes to be utilized by deputy personnel in support of specialized operations within the city. The E-Bikes vary in size to accommodate riders of different heights. The Sheriff’s Department identified the Bulls Sentinel 750 which is the latest model developed by Bulls in collaboration with the Los Angeles Police Department where these E-Bikes are currently in-service. These E-Bikes travel up to 28 mph with pedal-assist and are capable of carry the equipment deputies need to conduct bicycle enforcement operations. The cost of each E-Bike is $5397.00 which includes upfitting the unit with lights, sirens, and other required equipment. There is an annual service cost of approximately $375 per E-Bike.

The full funding of this request is recommended if approved to provide up to two twodeputy E-Bike teams to be deployed during large events as well as providing more sizing options for E-Bike availability for proper fit to the rider based on height. If partially funded, the Sheriff’s Department will attempt to order the average size (height) of its personnel who regularly are assigned to city service.

FY 2026-27 BUDGET REVIEW
Request Title Enhance Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) Deployment Department Policy and Executive Management Department
Requested Amount $29,750
Account Number(s) 01-21-7101
Background In January 2023, the Sheriff’s Department notified the city that the ALPR system deployed on one patrol vehicle was at the end of its contracted five-year term and warranty period. At the request of the city, the Sheriff’s Department installed the legacy ALPR system into a newly purchased vehicle with an understanding from the city that hardware or software issues would not be covered and the city would replace the legacy system later. Currently, the Department and its vendor no longer support the legacy ALPR as hardware and software solutions have advanced in technology.

The Sheriff’s Department has identified the need to not only upgrade the single legacy ALPR deployment, but the need for additional ALPRs on vehicles assigned to patrol the city. The deployment of ALPRs on patrol vehicles represents a cost-effective, technology-driven enhancement to policing in the community, where traffic flow, commuter patterns, and residential safety are closely linked. Automated License Plate Reader systems automatically scan and analyze thousands of license plates per shift, comparing them in real time against databases of stolen vehicles, wanted subjects, and AMBER Alerts, significantly increasing deputy efficiency without requiring additional staffing. This automation allows deputies to focus on proactive policing while the system continuously monitors surrounding vehicles, acting as a force multiplier where a large percentage of crimes involve vehicle movement. From a budgetary standpoint, ALPR technology maximizes existing personnel resources by replacing manual plate checks with high-speed, continuous data collection, improving investigative capacity while minimizing long-term labor costs.

Beyond enforcement, ALPR-equipped patrol vehicles provide measurable benefits to driver safety and assist in reducing deputy-involved traffic collision auto liability. Additionally, real-time alerts allow deputies to quickly identify vehicles associated with reckless driving, suspended registration, or prior incidents, enhancing roadway safety through timely intervention. Automated License Plate Reader systems consistently demonstrate value in increasing stolen vehicle recovery rates and supporting investigations, reinforcing their role as a practical and scalable investment for improving both traffic safety and overall public safety in a fiscally responsible manner.

This is the Sheriff’s Department’s first priority.

Justification The Sheriff’s Department is requesting to upgrade the existing Vigilant ALPR deployed system on one Special Assignment Deputy vehicle and then to enhance the city’s deployment with the addition of four Vigilant ALPR systems. Two of the new units will be deployed onto the city’s 24/7 routine patrol deployed vehicles, one on the other Special Assignment Deputy vehicle, and the last additional unit will be installed on the Traffic Investigator’s vehicle who also conducts specialized traffic enforcement operations in the city.

Request Title Flock License Plate Reader (LPR) Speed Feedback Trailer & Traffic Analytics Package
Department Policy and Executive Management Department
Requested Amount $39,000
Account Number(s) 01-21-7101
Background The deployment of a Flock License Plate Recognition (LPR) trailer would provide the Sheriff’s Department with a flexible, rapiddeployment capability to enhance real-time intelligence and enforcement operations without requiring permanent infrastructure installation. As a mobile, solar-powered system, the trailer can be strategically positioned in response to evolving crime trends, special events, or community safety concerns. This adaptability enables immediate alerting for stolen or wanted vehicles while expanding surveillance coverage with minimal impact on existing staffing resources. Its portability and ease of redeployment make it a cost-effective and strategically valuable asset for both patrol and investigative functions.

In addition, the Flock LPR trailer generates valuable traffic data, including vehicle counts, travel times, and commonly used routes. This information provides an additional operational layer of situational awareness that can support both law enforcement and broader municipal traffic management needs.

This is the Sheriff’s Department fourth priority.

Justification The Flock LPR trailer offers significant operational and public safety benefits through both enforcement support and data collection capabilities. From a traffic enforcement perspective, the system helps identify high-traffic corridors, cut-through routes, and locations with recurring safety concerns. This allows for more targeted enforcement strategies and more efficient allocation of resources based on real-time and historical traffic patterns.

The visible presence of the trailer also serves as a deterrent to unsafe driving behavior, promoting improved roadway safety. The data collected can be used to support evidence-based decision-making for both patrol operations and traffic safety initiatives. Additionally, this asset may benefit the City’s Public Works Department by providing reliable traffic survey data useful for planning, infrastructure evaluation, and transportation analysis.

Request Title Flock Mobile Security Trailer
Department Policy and Executive Management Department
Requested Amount $50,000
Account Number(s) 01-21-7101
Background The Sheriff’s Department has identified a need for a Flock mobile security trailer to further enhance public safety operations. Similar to the LPR trailer, the mobile security trailer provides a highly adaptable and cost-efficient solution that does not require permanent infrastructure. These trailers are self-contained, solarpowered units equipped with high-definition cameras and automatic license plate recognition (ALPR) technology, enabling real-time situational awareness and recorded video documentation in areas where additional monitoring is needed.

The mobile nature of the system allows for rapid deployment to locations experiencing elevated safety concerns, including neighborhoods with identified crime trends, commercial shopping centers, parks, trailheads, and special event venues. This capability ensures that law enforcement can quickly respond to changing conditions while maintaining consistent visibility and monitoring in priority areas.

This is the Sheriff’s Departments fifth priority.

Justification The Flock mobile security trailer provides significant operational value by expanding the Sheriff’s Department’s ability to deter, detect, and investigate criminal activity without the need for permanent installations or extensive infrastructure investment. Its combination of high-definition surveillance and ALPR technology enhances real-time intelligence gathering, while also preserving recorded data for investigative follow-up and evidence collection.

The system’s flexibility allows resources to be strategically deployed based on emerging crime patterns, community concerns, or temporary increases in public activity such as events or seasonal gatherings. This adaptability improves overall resource efficiency and ensures coverage can be aligned with current public safety priorities.

Additionally, the visible presence of the mobile security trailer serves as a deterrent to criminal activity, contributing to improved safety in both high-traffic and vulnerable locations. Its solar-powered, self-contained design minimizes installation and maintenance costs while maximizing operational readiness. This technology enables the City and Sheriff’s Department to respond quickly and effectively to dynamic public safety needs while optimizing limited staffing and equipment resources.

Request Title Program Coordinator FT Position
Department Policy and Executive Management Department
Requested Amount $140,000
Account Number(s) TBD
Background Over the past three years, the City of La Cañada Flintridge has significantly expanded its efforts related to organizational coordination, community engagement, regulatory compliance, and citywide initiatives. These efforts have been driven by policy direction from the City Council, evolving community needs, and increased coordination requirements across departments and external partners.

During this period, the City has implemented or expanded a number of initiatives, including:
• Establishment of new commissions and committees
• Formation of various working groups and coordination bodies between the City and the La Cañada Unified School District to address joint-use, planning, and community matters
• Expansion of community programs, including the annual Emergency Preparedness Event and other outreach efforts • Increased coordination with regional agencies, utilities, and partner organizations
• Implementation of new regulations and compliance requirements across multiple operational areas
• Ongoing coordination of special projects and citywide initiatives Despite this growth, the City Manager’s Office—which serves as the central coordinating body for these efforts—currently operates with only two fulltime staff positions supporting these functions: the Assistant City Manager and a Senior Management Analyst.

In addition to these expanding responsibilities, these same positions are also responsible for:
• Supporting and staffing multiple City commissions and committees • Managing the City’s citywide communication efforts, including public information, outreach, and consultant management • Managing the consult for the Citywide grant management • Leading interdepartmental coordination on special projects and City initiatives
• Supporting risk management and organizational coordination efforts As a result, the increasing workload across these areas has begun to impact the City’s ability to effectively implement and sustain expanding programs.

Justification The continued expansion of the City Manager’s Office responsibilities has created a gap between program expectations and available staffing resources.

CM 10

The City Manager’s Office is responsible for coordinating a wide range of administrative, operational, and strategic functions across the organization.

While emergency preparedness and interagency coordination remain important components of this work, the broader need is for dedicated administrative and programmatic support across multiple functional areas.

The proposed Program Coordinator position is intended to provide flexible, high-level generalist support to assist with:
• Lead and coordinate public safety measures, programs, and initiatives, including coordination with public safety personnel with the County Sheriff and Fire.
• Coordination of City programs, initiatives, and special projects • Support for commissions, committees, and interagency working groups
• Assistance with citywide communication efforts, including outreach and public information
• Administrative coordination of emergency operations training and preparedness activities
• Support for implementation and tracking of City initiatives, including AAR-related items
• Development of reports, documentation, and internal coordination processes
This position is designed to provide operational and administrative capacity across the City Manager’s Office, rather than being limited to a single functional area.

Currently, these responsibilities are being absorbed by existing staff, which limits the City’s ability to proactively manage programs, maintain continuity across initiatives, and respond efficiently to emerging priorities.

The addition of this position will allow the City Manager and Assistant City Manager to maintain focus on policy, leadership, and strategic oversight, while ensuring that day-to-day program coordination and administrative functions are effectively managed.

Request Title Operational Support Vehicle
Department Policy and Executive Management Department
Requested Amount $40,000
Account Number(s) 01-21-8231
Background To enhance investigative operations, the Sheriff’s Department has identified the need for an unmarked patrol support vehicle. This vehicle will provide the station’s Detective Bureau with increased surveillance capability and operational flexibility, allowing personnel to operate discreetly and blend into the surrounding environment. Such capability is critical during intelligence-gathering activities, where overt visibility could compromise investigations. .

Justification The ability to conduct surveillance without alerting subjects helps preserve the integrity of cases, increases the likelihood of obtaining actionable evidence, and promotes safer outcomes for both deputies and the public.

In addition to its surveillance advantages, the vehicle will improve overall investigative efficiency and responsiveness. Detectives will be able to move between locations quickly and inconspicuously, enhancing coordination with other units, supporting mobile surveillance, and responding effectively to evolving situations.

This resource will also support a broad range of investigative efforts, including narcotics enforcement, burglary suppression, and other theft-related operations where anonymity is essential. By expanding the bureau’s capabilities while maintaining a low profile, the unmarked vehicle will serve as a force multiplier – strengthening case development and improving the likelihood of successful prosecutions.

The Sheriff’s Department is looking to acquire a 2022-2024 SUV or Van as a patrol support vehicle. The vehicle may be new or used. After conducting research and looking at vehicle availability, the Department is requesting up to $50,000.00 for the identification and purchase of a vehicle. If approved, the city will work with the Sheriff’s Department to identify and purchase a vehicle for this purpose. Once purchased, the Sheriff’s Department will initiate a bailment process wherein the city will enter into a bailment agreement with the Sheriff’s Department wherein the Sheriff’s Department will assume liability, maintenance, and operational responsibility regarding the vehicle for the term of the agreement.

For reference related to cost:

Request Title Unmanned Aerial System (UAS/Drone)
Department Policy and Executive Management Department
Requested Amount $16,000
Account Number(s) 01-21-7101
Background The Sheriff’s Department is committed to modern, forward-thinking policing that emphasizes efficiency, innovation, and the responsible use of technology.

As service demands evolve, the Department continues to identify tools that streamline operations and enhance overall effectiveness. In April 2026, the Sheriff’s Department announced revisions to its unmanned aerial systems (UAS), or drones, policy that will significantly enhance patrol operations in the city by expanding situational awareness and improving response efficiency. The city’s unique geography comprised of hillside neighborhoods, winding roads, and nearby wildland areas, can make rapid ground-based assessment challenging. A drone provides real-time aerial visibility, allowing deputies to quickly evaluate incidents such as traffic collisions, missing person searches, or suspicious activity without waiting for the more costly airship (helicopter) response. This capability not only reduces response times for aerial support, but also enables more informed decision-making, helping deputies allocate resources more effectively and safely.

This is the Sheriff’s Department third priority.

Justification Drones are a cost-effective resource that can reduce operational strain on personnel while enhancing public safety outcomes. For example, they can assist in perimeter searches, warrant services, crowd monitoring during community events, and documentation of crime or accident scenes. By integrating drone technology into patrol operations, the city can achieve greater coverage and capability without the substantial expense associated with manned aircraft, ultimately delivering a high return on investment while maintaining a strong commitment to community safety and fiscal responsibility.

The Sheriff’s Department is currently working to roll out UAS programs at patrol stations. Crescenta Valley Station has two pilots trained with their Part 107 license and is actively working on expanding training deputies who will become pilots assigned to the station and specifically those who serve the city.

This request is for the hardware appropriation to be budgeted and, if approved, realization of a UAS program would likely occur mid-budget year based on the Sheriff’s Department phased roll out and the standing up a of centralized UAS unit within the Department to ensure compliance with all required policies, laws, and regulations.

Request Title Citywide Evacuation Plan – Consultant Services Department Policy and Executive Management Department
Requested Amount $150,000
Account Number(s) 01-21-6061
Background The City Council previously authorized the release of a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the development of a Citywide Evacuation Plan, consistent with Council direction and in alignment with State requirements and the City’s ongoing emergency preparedness efforts.

The RFP solicits proposals from qualified consultants to develop a comprehensive evacuation plan that evaluates the City’s roadway network, identifies constraints, and provides actionable strategies to improve evacuation efficiency and public safety under a variety of emergency scenarios.

This project was not previously budgeted; as such, funding should be considered as part of the current FY 2026–27 budget process. Identifying and appropriating funds at this stage will ensure the City can proceed with consultant selection, contract award, and project implementation without delay once the RFP process is complete.

Justification Development of a Citywide Evacuation Plan is a critical component of the City’s broader emergency preparedness and resilience strategy. The plan is also a requirement under State law. The plan will:
• Evaluate evacuation routes, constraints, and traffic flow under emergency conditions
• Analyze key factors such as the Interstate 210 corridor, local roadway limitations, and access points
• Consider evacuation scenarios during peak periods, including school hours and full General Plan buildout conditions
• Provide data-driven recommendations to improve evacuation planning, coordination, and response
This effort also builds upon findings from the Eaton Fire After-Action Report (AAR) and supports the City’s ongoing efforts to strengthen emergency planning, coordination, and community safety.

Establishing funding at this stage ensures that once proposals are received and evaluated, the City can move forward efficiently with consultant selection and contract execution.

Request Title Battery-Powered Rescue Combi Tool for Paramedic Rescue Squad 19 Department Policy and Executive Management Department
Requested Amount $15,000
Account Number(s) 01-21-8231
Background The City of La Cañada Flintridge’s fire protection and emergency medical services are provided through the Los Angeles County Fire Department (LACoFD). As part of this partnership, the City periodically considers targeted equipment investments that enhance the operational capabilities of personnel assigned to serve the community.

Paramedic Rescue Squad 19 provides specialized rescue and emergency response services within the City, including vehicle extrication during traffic collisions and other incidents requiring technical rescue.

Justification LACoFD has identified the acquisition of a battery-powered rescue combi tool as a high-priority operational need for Squad 19.

A combi tool integrates the functions of a hydraulic spreader and cutter into a single unit, allowing firefighters to perform vehicle extrication more efficiently when rescuing trapped victims. The proposed Genesis E-Force battery-powered system represents a significant advancement over traditional hydraulic tools, which require external power units, hoses, and multiple personnel for deployment.

Key operational benefits include:
• Reduced deployment time: A single rescuer can immediately deploy the tool without staging additional equipment
• Improved life safety outcomes: Faster extrication improves response effectiveness in time-critical incidents
• Increased operational efficiency: Eliminates the need for separate hydraulic systems and additional crew support
• Enhanced mobility: Battery-powered design allows direct deployment to the patient in confined or difficult-to-access areas
The Genesis E-Force series meets NFPA 1936 standards, has been evaluated through the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s SAVER program, and is widely utilized by fire agencies nationwide as a leading extrication platform.

This equipment would directly enhance the rescue capabilities of Paramedic Squad 19, improving emergency response outcomes for the community.

Request Title Housing Element Update Consultant Services Department Community Development - Planning
Requested Amount $250,000
Account Number(s) 01-25-6065 (Professional Services)
Background State law mandates the General Plan Housing Element must be revised and updated every eight years. The 6th Housing Element Cycle runs from October 15, 2021- Ocotber 15, 2029. The 7th Cycle will run from October 15, 2029 through October 15, 2037. Given the 6th Cycle took approximately 2.5 two years to complete and undertake the necessary implementation action, 2.5 years prior to the next deadline is April 2027.

A Request for Proposals (RFP) will be prepared to advertise the request for these consultant services. The selected consultant will work with City staff to confirm a proposed detailed schedule with tasks and milestones for achieving Housing Element certification by the state-required deadline.

Justification The selected consultant will be tasked with:
• Reviewing and evaluating the City’s progress in implementing the 2021-2029 Housing Element.
• Community outreach during preparation of the Draft Housing Element. • Preparation of housing assessment, needs analysis, assessment of Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing requirements, consistent with State Housing Element Law.
• Identification of appropriate parcels to be included within the Sites Inventory demonstrating compliance with the Regional Housing Needs Allocation. • Developing timeframes for implementation of specific objectives contained in the updated 2029-2037 7th Cycle Housing Element.
• Participation in public hearings.
• Presentation of the Draft Housing Element to the Planning Commission for recommendation to the City Council for their review and adoption. • Submittal of the approved Housing Element to California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) for state certification. • Participation in environmental review and preparation of California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) related notices.
• Identifying amendments to the City’s Zoning Code necessary for implementation.

It is essential for the City to comply with all state requirements related to Housing Element preparation and approval in order to avoid penalties. Also, when applying for state grants, having a compliant Housing Element better positions a local jurisdiction to receive funding. Finally, a compliant Housing Element also reduces exposure to certain implications that can occur when a “Builder’s Remedy” project is submitted for city review and approval.

Background Back in 2022, “Wedge Data Analysis” was performed as part of the work program under the Climate Action and Adaptation Plan (CAAP).

Wedge data breaks big climate goals into smaller, measurable actions. It shows that reaching targets requires scaling up many existing solutions like clean energy, efficiency, electrification, and green infrastructure.

Wedge analysis shows which actions reduce the most emissions and tracks progress over time.

Justification An updated Wedge Analysis is meant to address gaps in current data.

Recalculating the Green House Gase (GHG) study could provide more accurate assumptions for planning and further CAAP implementation measures. The expanded scope would also cover ongoing outreach and coordination with third parties, such as the City of Glendale, to incorporate regional insight.

Request Title Independent Consultant Services for Early Preparation for the 7th Housing Cycle (RHNA+)
Department Community Development
Requested Amount $100,000
Account Number(s) 01-25-6061
Background The Planning program already carries significant responsibility for administration of the General Plan, Municipal Code, planning entitlements, zoning updates, CEQA compliance, and support to the Planning and Design Commissions. The budget also notes that Planning anticipates substantial ongoing work related to continued implementation of the General Plan.

The Council Consideration Items section also includes an example of consultant support for required General Plan element updates, showing that outside planning assistance is already a recognized and appropriate tool when the City faces major policy and state-mandated planning work.

The next housing cycle is expected to begin in 2028. This request would authorize the City to begin early preparation now, rather than waiting until the statutory process is underway and deadlines narrow the City’s options.

Specifically, this item would fund an independent consultant, separate from the City’s current consultant team involved in housing-cycle-related work, to provide early analysis, alternatives, and outreach support before the next cycle begins.

The consultant’s scope should include:
● lessons learned from the current cycle,
● review of likely 7th-cycle constraints and assumptions, ● identification of potential housing strategy options and land use implications,
● community outreach and feedback collection before formal cycle deadlines,
● evaluation of policy options available to the City, and ● a roadmap for Council decision points between now and 2028.

The intent is to ensure the City enters the next cycle better informed, with alternatives already evaluated and with resident feedback gathered early.

Justification The City should not wait until the next RHNA/housing-element cycle is already underway to begin thinking about its strategy. Starting early gives the Council and the public time to understand likely requirements, pressure points, land use implications, and legal or policy options before the City is operating under compressed deadlines.

Using a consultant who is not the same consultant currently assisting the City on related housing-cycle matters is also important. The purpose is to obtain fresh analysis, additional options, and more independent evaluation rather than simply continuing the same assumptions and approach. This would help the Council:

CD 3

● receive a second set of eyes on risks and alternatives, ● gather community feedback before positions harden,
● avoid rushed decision-making later, and
● improve the City’s readiness for a highly consequential state-mandated process.

Account Number(s) 01-25-6030 (Planning – Materials and Supplies) 01-27-6030 (Code Enforcement – Materials and Supplies)
Background There are a number of situations where employees are required to work within areas that have the potential for safety issues or during situations where clear identification of City employees is necessary. This includes staff inspecting active construction sites and inspections within the public right-of-way. Reviewing improvements that could be implemented after the Eaton Fire, resultant evacuations and damage from the wind event, it was noted that providing City staff with Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) would be beneficial to ensure employee safety and limited City liability. The anticipated enforcement of the anti-encampment ordinance would also benefit from the use of body cameras to prevent or address any legal challenges as to the actions of the City.

Furnishing Community Development Department staff with PPE when working in such situations is advisable. PPE can be utilized both during an emergency situation and/or during daily inspection work that takes place out in the field or when a potential difficult situation arises in the field that could necessitate the use of a body camera.

Justification PPE, which would include hard hats, high visibility safety vests, eye protection, gloves can be utilized both during an emergency situation and/or during daily inspection work. Though it will likely be utilized by Code Enforcement Officer staff during difficult field inspections, body cameras can also be useful for other department staff when they do their field work which can occur in the public right-of-way or in an area where a reflective vest, for instance, would make them better visible and better projected. Given that emergency situations have to be anticipated, having an available supply of PPE, including hard hats, safety vests, safety glasses, and gloves, can assist in keeping employees safe.

01-27-6030 (Materials & Supplies)
Background The City has contracted for Code Enforcement Officer Services for over 18 years with two different consulting firms. Over the last 10 years five different Code Enforcement Officers have staffed the position, and the current officer has been with the department for three years.

In addition to full-time Code Enforcement Officer services of 40 hours per week, in 2023 the City Council authorized Part-Time services allowing a maximum of 20 hours per week to take place primarily Friday through Sunday each week and occasionally during the week after regular business hours when needed.

Staff estimate that it will take approximately six to nine months to recruit, hire and transition between the current contract and a new full and part-time City Code Enforcement Officer. The existing Willdan Engineering contract for Code Enforcement Services may be terminated with 30-day notice from the City.

Justification Code Enforcement Officers investigate complaints and enforce all regulations contained within the City’s Municipal Code. In addition to zoning and building code violations, Code Enforcement also addresses potential violations of ordinances that are typically under the purview of Public Works and Administration and Public Services departments.

While staff desire to bring more long-term consistency and stability to the City in the area of Code Enforcement, the current use of contract employees versus City employees does result in some limitations. Under the current arrangement, no City employee supervises the Code Enforcement officers, no employee can provide direction to the officers, and there is no control over the work and how it is completed. Contract employees also cannot utilize City vehicles, cannot use City business cards or use the City logo on their own vehicles to identify themselves as working under contract with the City. Additionally, while addressing implementation of the anti-encampment ordinance, the contract employees are limited by their employer as to how the City can use them. Hiring a full and part time Code Enforcement Officer employees would provide these positive benefits, as well as save an anticipated $46,000 - $73,000 annually, based on the current $240,000 Code Enforcement contract.

If approved, policies and procedures specific to Code Enforcement will be adopted, as well as state mandated safety plan. After coordinating with CJPIA, required trainings will include but not be limited to safety and mandatory reporter.

Background The City has budgeted one Planner, one Associate Planner, one Assistant Planner, and one part-time Planning Intern. The proposed Planner position would participate in both long range planning (General Plan, Zoning Code, specific plans, preparation of ordinances) and current planning (development projects and environmental compliance), as well as undertake special projects and requests from the City Council and City Manager. They would provide support for the Planning, Design and Sustainability and Resilience Commissions.

Justification The department’s workload has increased significantly over the past several years. This included transitioning all business licensing from Finance to Community Development in 2022, the significant number and complexity of public records requests, the majority of which are associated with the Community Development Department, transitioning Film Permit Review from Administration in FY 25-26, the establishing and staffing of the Sustainability and Resilience Commission in 2025, the adoption of new state laws that mandate amendments to the General Plan and Zoning Code, and the numerous changes to state housing laws that have created additional workload while mandating shorter review periods.

The Planning Division is mandated to comply with numerous provisions of state law that severely limit the review periods for various types of Planning entitlements. This includes the Permit Streamlining Act and California Environmental Quality Act, each of which requires certain actions within specified timeframes, and more recently, the review and approvals of most ADUs, which is required to occur within 60-days. Even more time sensitive response times are associated with public records requests.

The proposed request would result in one additional full-time Planner, for a total of four full-time planners at various levels. A Planner with the knowledge and capability of managing high profile development projects, long range plans, and special projects requested by the City Council and City Manager. The requested increase in staffwould enhance customer service,improve processing timelines within the Planning Division.

01-05-8231 (Furnishing & Equipment - Community Development) Background The City has budgeted two full-time Permit Technicians and one part-time Building Permit Technician at 30 hours per week. The Building Permit Technician is responsible for the intake and screening of permit applications to ensure all required information and plans are submitted, coordinating the routing of plans among applicants, City staff, and outside plan check consultants and the majority of interaction with applicants on their permits. Duties also include invoicing and collection of permit fees, verifying that all required approvals from responsible agencies have been obtained, and providing general assistance to the public at the permit counter and via telephone.

Justification The permit processing workload has continued to increase year over year, and this has created a resultant backlog of permit applications. Over the past 3 fiscal years, the following number of permits were submitted:

FY 23-24 = 1915, FY 24-25 = 1945, anticipated for FY 25-26 = 2075 Additionally, surges in applications in 2025 were experienced based on expiring credits for solar projects and the transition to the newly adopted Building Code on 1/1/26.

With the transition from LA County Public Works to m6 Consulting in October 2024, several areas were identified where improvements to the development review process could be made to increase efficiency and reduce timeframes while minimizing costs. This includes moving the basic screening of permit applications and materials from the plan checker to the permit technicians, increasing the capacity of the plan checkers.

The department has been monitoring permit and plan check activity for the past 2.5 years, and has found that there is consistently at least 25-30 permits within the “submitted” queue waiting to be processed and that uncollected building permit and plan check fees (projects waiting to be processed or issued) are consistently over $3.75 million dollars.

The proposed request would result in one additional full-time Permit Technician, for a total of four full-time City Building & Safety Division staff. This increase in hours would enhance customer service within the Building and Safety Division by providing additional staffing capacity to eliminate the backlog of permit applications awaiting initial screening and to minimize processing delays for applicants.

Background On October 21, 2025, the City Council approved a 9-month contract with Cascadia Consulting Group Inc. for a consultant Sustainability Analyst, which would provide support to City staff and the Sustainability and Resilience Commission (SRC) through June 2026. In March, the City Council authorized a contract increase of $40,000, for a total contract amount of $102,750 through June 2026.

Justification The establishment of the new commission has taken more resources than initially anticipated, as acknowledged through the mid-year increase in the contract. An increase in the contract was required to account for the additional consultant services required as a result of additional SRC meetings above the once monthly meeting identified within the resolution establishing the Commission and five unanticipated subcommittee meetings. Additionally, the Commission has requested numerous agenda items that are loosely related to the Climate Action and Adaptation Plan, but not one of the identified implementation actions, that have necessitated additional research hours over and above the number anticipated for the year.

As staff do not have technical expertise in the sustainability realm, there is a need for the consultant Sustainability Analyst to attend all meetings and to undertake the additional research requests asked by the Commission. It is anticipated that the Commission will continue in the upcoming year to request subcommittee meetings between the Commission’s regular meetings to further explore topics. In this effort, additional funding for consultant costs is requested for the upcoming fiscal year to cover the work identified by the Commission as part of their ongoing workplan.

Request Title Professional Services for Sustainable Mobility and Mode Shift Pilot Department Community Development – Planning Division
Requested Amount $100,000
Account Number(s) 01-25-6061 (Professional Services)
Background Request from the Sustainability and Resilience Commission:

The Climate Action and Adaptation Plan identifies transportation emissions reduction as a primary strategy to meet climate goals, with a focus on both reducing vehicle miles traveled and transitioning away from internal combustion engine vehicles. Expanding sustainable mobility options, including active transportation, micromobility, and electric vehicles, is essential to achieving these targets. These efforts directly support CAAP strategies related to mode shift, active transportation, and zero-emission vehicle adoption, including reduction of city-wide vehicle miles traveled, increasing EV infrastructure, and promotion of anti-idling benefits to reduce green house gas emissions.

The Sustainability and Resilience Commission recommends advancing a Sustainable Mobility Pilot to evaluate infrastructure, programs, and policies that support mode shift and reduce reliance on single-occupancy vehicle trips.

Justification Achieving meaningful mode shift requires a coordinated approach that integrates infrastructure, access, and user behavior. A pilot-based framework allows the City to test and refine strategies in a controlled and cost-effective manner before pursuing broader capital investments.

This effort will evaluate opportunities to improve pedestrian and bicycle connectivity, enable micromobility solutions, and support increased electric vehicle adoption. A key component of this work will include testing light, quick -build infrastructure such as temporary protected bike lanes, designated pedestrian corridors, signage, and shared mobility hubs near schools, parks, and employment centers. These installations allow the City to observe real-world usage, safety outcomes, and community response prior to permanent investment.

The pilot will assess how residents interact with different mobility options, identify barriers to adoption, and evaluate performance across different locations and user groups. Findings will inform a scalable approach to improving accessibility, safety, and connectivity across the City’s transportation network.

The outcome will be a comprehensive mobility framework outlining priority corridors, infrastructure typologies, and phased implementation pathways. This approach provides the City Council with a clear basis to evaluate opportunities before committing to capital expenditures while aligning future investments with demonstrated community needs.

This work will position the City to pursue external funding opportunities, including grants from the Southern California Association of Governments, California Air Resources Board, Los Angeles County Metro, and Clean Power Alliance, which support active transportation, zero-emission mobility, and community-based transportation programs.

Consultant support is required to conduct technical analysis, coordinate outreach, design pilot installations, and establish performance metrics for evaluation and scaling.

Request Title Professional Services for Transportation Demand Management and Shared Transit Department Community Development - Planning Division
Requested Amount $100,000
Account Number(s) 01-25-6061 (Professional Services)
Background Request from the Sustainability and Resilience Commission:

The 2024 Climate Action and Adaptation Plan identifies transportation as the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for approximately 60 percent of total emissions. Reducing vehicle miles traveled and transitioning to lower-emission transportation systems are core strategies to meet the City’s climate goals while improving air quality and public health. These efforts directly support CAAP transportation strategies related to vehicle miles traveled reduction, transportation demand management, and mode shift, including Transportation Goals (T1, T2, and T3) strategy groupings.

The Sustainability and Resilience Commission recommends advancing a Transportation Demand Management and Shared Transit Pilot to evaluate targeted strategies that reduce single-occupancy vehicle trips. This includes electrified shuttle services, employer- and school-based commute programs, and improved connectivity to regional transit systems including the Los Angeles Metro network.

Justification Effective VMT reduction requires strategies tailored to local travel behavior, land use patterns, and community needs. A structured pilot approach allows the City to test targeted solutions at a limited scale while generating local performance data to inform future investment decisions.

This effort will focus on identifying and reducing high-frequency trip patterns by key user groups, including commuters, students, and families. The pilot will evaluate shared and electrified transit options, including coordinated shuttle routes, first- and last-mile connections to regional transit, and partnerships with major employers and schools to reduce peak-period vehicle trips.

In addition to service design, the pilot will assess route efficiency, scheduling, ridership demand, and connectivity to existing transportation networks. This approach reflects best practices used by comparable communities to improve mobility access while reducing reliance on single-occupancy vehicles.

The outcome will be a targeted implementation framework identifying priority corridors, service models, and partnership opportunities to support shared transit solutions. This framework will provide the City Council with a clear basis to evaluate next steps before committing to larger-scale capital or operational investments.

This initiative also positions the City to compete for external funding, including programs through the Southern California Association of Governments, California Air Resources Board, Los Angeles County Metro, and Clean Power Alliance, which support transportation demand management, zero-emission transit pilots, and regional mobility integration.

Consultant support is required to conduct technical analysis, develop pilot program design, coordinate stakeholder partnerships, and establish performance metrics for evaluation.

Request Title Professional Services for Greenways Coalition and Concept Planning Initiative Department Community Development – Planning Division
Requested Amount $25,000
Account Number(s) 1-25-6061 (Professional Services)
Background Request from the Sustainability and Resilience Commission:

The City’s Climate Action and Adaptation Plan identifies Green Community as a focus area, with goals to expand green space and improve resilience through nature-based solutions. Relevant supportive strategies include improving transportation network connectivity and reducing sources of vehicle miles traveled, as well as increasing, preserving and enhancing biodiversity in green spaces.

As part of the ongoing General Plan updates, including the Open Space and Recreation Element and Conservation Element, the Sustainability and Resilience Commission recommends advancing a Greenways and Resilient Infrastructure Concept Planning Initiative. This effort will evaluate opportunities to preserve and expand green space while integrating stormwater management, heat mitigation, and recreational access.

Justification This request funds a focused preliminary planning effort to evaluate the feasibility of transforming existing stormwater infrastructure into multi-benefit greenways. Much of the City’s drainage system was designed for rapid conveyance and does not reflect current best practices for stormwater capture, groundwater recharge, and heat mitigation. The 1934 infrastructure may be insufficient to manage peak flows associated with atmospheric rivers and more frequent storm events. Modern hydrological approaches favor living systems that attenuate flow, capture runoff, and support groundwater recharge, turning excess water into a resource that enhances resilience and reduces heat impacts.

This initial phase will focus on the Winery Canyon Channel and a 22 -acre utility easement site parallel to the Trail Loop to identify opportunities, constraints, and high-level design concepts for transitioning from single-use flood control to a multi-benefit greenway corridor. The effort will include preliminary technical review, site assessment, and identification of feasible approaches for further study.

The outcome will be a high-level feasibility summary and concept framework outlining potential design directions, implementation considerations, and funding opportunities. This will provide the City Council with a clear basis to evaluate whether and how to proceed with more detailed planning before committing to capital expenditures.

This phased approach is intended to position the City to pursue external funding for further study, feasibility, and design visioning, including approximately $500,000 from the Los Angeles County Safe Clean Water Program (Measure W), $250,000 from the Arroyo Verdugo Subregional Program (Measure M), and up to $1,000,000 from State climate and infrastructure funding sources. These programs are designed to support development of shovel-ready plans and would enable the City to advance this concept without reliance on the General Fund for future phases.

The effort will be led by a consultant with oversight from the Sustainability and Resilience Commission to ensure alignment with City priorities and CAAP goals. Consultant support will focus on targeted technical analysis, coordination with relevant stakeholders, and preparation of a concise deliverable to inform next steps and potential implementation phases. The consultant will also engage relevant agencies and utility partners to identify requirements and build early alignment, helping establish a viable pathway for future project development and funding.

Department Community Development – Planning Division
Requested Amount $36,840
Account Number(s) 01-25-6061 (Professional Services)
Background Request from the Sustainability and Resilience Commission:

The Climate Action and Adaptation Plan identifies community education and outreach as necessary to achieve emissions reductions and strengthen resilience. Key topics include available rebates and incentives such as AQMD and Clean Power Alliance programs, PACE financing, home energy audits, and building electrification including heat pumps; mobility strategies such as active transportation and antiidling awareness; community engagement efforts including workshops and pilot programs to support new initiatives; and resilience measures such as composting, stormwater capture, native landscaping, and home hardening for wildfire risk reduction. These efforts directly support energy, climate resilience, built environment, transportation, and resource conservation goals (Strategies E3.5, E3.6, E1.1, CR3.1, BE2.1, T3.2, and RC6.2).

The Sustainability and Resilience Commission has prioritized development of a centralized, web-based CAAP hub to provide residents and businesses with clear and actionable information. The CAAP also identifies interdepartmental coordination as a foundational strategy. A centralized platform supports consistent communication across departments and improves alignment as new programs and policies are introduced.

Justification This request establishes a durable communication asset that reduces reliance on higher-cost, one-time outreach methods. A centralized web-based hub allows the City to update and distribute information in real time at minimal marginal cost. It also provides a consistent platform to support Council-adopted programs, policy changes, and ongoing community engagement, including surveys and feedback.

Implementation falls within the current Sustainability Analyst scope and requires coordination with Communications, IT, and the City’s website vendor. Timing will align with federally mandated ADA compliance updates currently underway through the website redesign. Implementation will occur in two cost-effective phases:

Phase I (Q3/Q4 2026): Use existing communication channels to share information on rebates, grants, sustainability practices, and home hardening. Channels include the City newsletter, social media, email distributions, existing web page updates, local media, and partnerships with community organizations and the Chamber of Commerce. Concurrently, staff and the consultant will develop the content and materials for the CAAP hub within the redesigned website.

Phase II (Q1/Q2 2027): Launch the CAAP hub with program information, implementation tracking, and community feedback tools.

Consultant will support and assist with content development, feedback and input surveys, City communications, and reporting on SRC initiatives. (Estimated time for consultant completion - 154 hours)

Background The Public Works Department annually assembles a list of proposed street segments for the next resurfacing project as part of the recurring Capital Improvement Program. The first criteria in the selection process is a review of the latest Pavement Condition Report prepared by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works. The basis for the selection of streets is the Pavement Condition Index (PCI). A street with a PCI below 58 is rated as poor; below 40 is rated as failed. Streets within those two categories are ranked in numerical order from lowest to highest.

From the recommended streets, four additional factors are then considered to further prioritize the list: (1) condition of the concrete curb, gutter, cross gutters, and sidewalk; (2) need for additional sidewalk; (3) need for drainage improvements; and (4) groupings of streets to allow formaximum efficiency and more competitive pricing. The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (SB 1) is an eligible source of funding for this project as long as the City meets its Maintenance of Effort (MOE) funding.

For FY 2026-27, Public Works is recommending the following 3.53 centerline miles of streets at an estimated cost of $2,800,000 for the design and construction of the Project. The overall PCI for these streets is 60, just above the rating of poor.

Proposed Streets
• Starlight Crest Drive (from Burning Tree Dr. to Gleneagle Place) • Gleneagle Place (from Starlight Crest Dr. to Cul-De-Sac) • Tondolea Lane (from Palm Drive to Lone Pine Lane)

Request Title Citywide Bulk Street Repaving Strategy and Accelerated Pavement Program Department Public Works
Requested Amount $150,000
Account Number(s) 01-42-6061
Background The current budget includes a standard annual resurfacing request for 2025-26 Citywide Street Resurfacing in the amount of $2.5 million, covering 2.6 centerline miles of streets selected using Pavement Condition Index data and other prioritization factors, including grouping projects for efficiency and more competitive pricing.

That annual resurfacing model is logical as an ongoing maintenance practice, but it also means the City is addressing street deterioration incrementally, a few miles at a time, over many years. This request would direct staff to step back and evaluate whether a much larger one-time or limited-phase paving strategy would make more financial and operational sense.

Specifically, staff would be asked to return with an analysis of scenarios for resurfacing or rehabilitating approximately 50%, 75%, and up to 100% of the City’s paved street network over a compressed time period rather than continuing with the current pace of roughly one annual paving package at a time. It may even include discussions and estimates with vendors.

The requested study/plan should evaluate:
● the approximate cost of each large-scale paving scenario, ● whether larger bundled construction would reduce unit costs through economies of scale,
● how such a program would affect the City’s overall pavement condition baseline,
● financing options, including cash, reserves, grants, and/or debt, ● project phasing options,
● operational impacts on neighborhoods and traffic,
● which streets should be grouped first, and
● whether the long-term maintenance burden would be reduced by resetting a larger share of the network at once.

Justification The annual paving program is useful, but it may not be the most efficient longterm strategy if the City is perpetually trying to catch up. A larger bulk paving approach could potentially:
● lower mobilization and procurement costs per mile,
● improve contractor pricing through larger bundled work, ● reduce deferred maintenance exposure,
● improve resident satisfaction more quickly, and
● reset the City’s pavement network to a healthier baseline in a shorter timeframe.

Before continuing indefinitely with a slower annual model, the Council should understand whether a more ambitious catch-up strategy would actually save money over time and deliver better results.

Importantly, this request is not yet asking Council to approve a massive paving contract. It is asking for the work needed to give Council real options: what 50%, 75%, or 100% accelerated paving would cost, how it could be phased, how it could be funded, and whether it would outperform the current incremental approach.

Request Title Eliminate Solid Resource Fee on Residential Refuse Service (Reduce from 10% to 0%)
Department Public Works/Finance
Requested Amount $776,300
Account Number(s) 01-00-4420
Background The City’s Solid Waste program manages three authorized waste haulers and oversees refuse, recycling, and related contract administration, regulatory compliance, and community education. The adopted budget also reflects that the City maintains a dedicated Solid Waste program with staffing and operating costs for these services.

In addition to the underlying cost of refuse service, residents currently pay a City-imposed Solid Resource Fee through their waste hauler bills.

Because this charge is embedded in the customer bill rather than levied directly and separately through the normal tax-setting process, many residents do not understand that a portion of what they are paying is effectively a City surcharge.

This request would direct staff to return to the City Council with all actions necessary to reduce the Solid Resource Fee from 10% to 0%, including analysis of the revenue impact, any franchise agreement implications, implementation timing, and any related ordinance, resolution, or contract amendments required to carry out the change.

Justification This item is intended to eliminate what many residents experience as a hidden tax on a basic household service. Trash service is not optional for most residents, and the fee is paid broadly regardless of household circumstances. If the City wishes to collect revenue for general governmental purposes, that revenue should be discussed transparently and justified openly rather than embedded in a utility-style bill.

Eliminating the fee would:
● provide direct cost-of-living relief to residents,
● improve transparency in City revenue practices,
● reduce the amount residents are required to pay through mandatory waste-hauler billing, and
● force a more transparent discussion of whether this revenue is truly necessary and, if so, how it should be collected.

This request is not intended to disrupt core solid waste services or staff’s contract-management role. Rather, it is intended to remove the surcharge layered on top of those services.

Fiscal Impact Eliminating the Solid Resource Fee on Residential Refuse Service by reducing the fee from 10% to 0% will eliminate this revenue source. The FY 2026-27 projected revenue of $776,300 would no longer be received.

Account Number(s) 01-43-6061
Background In April 2025, Public Works, in partnership with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), held a town hall meeting with the residents to learn about future improvements on Angeles Crest Highway (ACH) that control speed and enhance safety for motorists, cyclists and pedestrians. Discussion about the possible relinquishment of ACH between I-210 On/Off-Ramps and Northern City was explored at the meeting, which would allow the City to have control on the operation of the road and implementation of future improvements.

On November 6, 2025, the City Council discussed the subject of relinquishment and authorized staff to send a letter to Caltrans expressing the City’s interest in pursuing the relinquishment. On January 21, 2026, Caltrans responded to the City’s letter informing us that they will start the development of a Relinquishment Assessment Report (RAR) to determine the feasibility of transferring the road to the City.

Staff is requesting $250,000 to hire a consultant to evaluate the existing condition of ACH and provide recommendations for any improvements required for the road to be undertaken by the City to enhance safety for the traveling residents.

Requested Amount $75,000
Source of Funding General Fund
Account Number(s) 01-42-8231
Background On October 21, 2025, the City Council received a presentation that outlined the draft Red Flag No Parking Program that was developed in coordination with the Los Angeles County Fire Department and traffic engineers. The proposed program would restrict parking on designated streets during a National Weather Serviceissued Red Flag Warning to allow emergency vehicle access while facilitating resident evacuation. Restrictions included:
• Major Collector streets: No parking on both sides, regardless of street width
• Streets under 30 feet wide: No parking on both sides
• Streets with a single point of access: No parking on one side (ingress or egress)
• Potential evacuation routes requiring two-way traffic: No parking on one side (ingress or egress)
The City Council directed staff to separate its discussion of the proposed Red Flag Program into two distinct options:
• Option 1 — Staff’s recommended Selected-Street Program, focusing on specific streets identified as critical for emergency access and evacuation. • Option 2 — The Public Safety Commission's Citywide Concept, which would apply restrictions on all public streets during Red Flag Warnings.

On November 18, 2025, the City Council held a public hearing, received public testimony, discussed the proposal, and adopted the “No Parking During Red Flag Warning Policy”.

Staff is requesting $75,000 in FY 2026-27 to install approximately 105 “No Parking” signs, as shown in the attached sheets, at the intersection of each streets that were designated based on the above criteria. This will minimize the pollution of signs along these designated streets.

Request Title ADA Compliance – PDF Remediation for Archived City Council Agendas, Minutes, and Staff Reports
Department Administration
Requested Amount $200,000
Account Number(s) 01-04-6061
Background The City Clerk’s Office maintains an archive of City Council agendas, agenda reports, and minutes that are currently available in PDF format. While accessible for general use, these documents do not meet current ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) accessibility standards. As a result, individuals using screen readers or other assistive technologies may not be able to fully access the content.

Recent laws and best practices for public agencies emphasize the importance of ensuring digital records, including historical documents, are fully ADA compliant.

By April 24, 2026, cities with a population of 50,000 or more must ensure that web content and mobile applications comply with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, an international standard for web content accessibility. Cities with populations less than 50,000 must comply by April 26, 2027.

Staff has identified three possible options:
(1) $50,000: Remove all non-compliant documents from the City’s website and approve funds to begin remediation of the City’s most recent documents. This includes funds to comply with accessibilityrelated public records requests. (2) $300,000: Remediate the last three years of agendas, minutes, and staff reports as funding allows. Remove all non-compliant documents from the City’s website.
(3) $1,200,000: Immediately remediate all public facing non-compliant documents.

Justification Engaging a professional PDF remediation service will ensure that archived agenda materials and minutes are accurately converted into ADA-compliant formats. These services provide manual tagging, document structuring, and quality assurance that automated tools cannot reliably achieve.

This effort will:
-Ensure compliance with ADA standards
-Reduce legal risk and potential complaints
-Improve transparency and equitable access to public records -Align with the City’s commitment to inclusivity and accessibility Admin 1

Fiscal Impact $200,000
- The cost to remediate original (born-digital) PDFs ranges from $5 to $8 per page.
- The cost to remediate scanned PDFs ranges from $8 to $13 per page.

For a typical agenda packet, which includes two separate agendas (one for a special meeting and one for a regular meeting), along with agenda reports and minutes, the estimated one-time cost is $3,000 - $5,000 per meeting.

The final cost for each agenda packet will depend on the total number of pages and the type of PDFs contained within the packet. The City Council may choose to only initially remedy agendas and minutes to reduce the number of pages and cost.

Recurring Annual Cost If necessary, these costs may be spread over multiple fiscal years. Should this be completed in phases, the City Council can consider a dedicated amount of funds each fiscal year until the remediation is completed.

Ongoing compliance for new documents can be integrated into existing workflows or managed through separate tools and processes.

Background In 2021, the City Council established an Age-Friendly Community Project Team. This Project Team did work over multiple years and summarized its research and recommendations in an Age-Friendly Master Plan. The Project Team identified and studied seven domains of livability which include (1) Outdoor Space and Buildings, (2) Transportation, (3) Housing, (4) Communication and Information, (5) Health Services and Community Supports, (6) Public Safety, and (7) Community Engagement.

Throughout this process, the overarching themes included support for improved communications, accessibility improvements to City infrastructure, more health and wellness activities, more resources for aging in place, and more community engagement opportunities.

Staff have worked both internally and with community partners to improve communications and broaden emergency preparedness efforts, including a focus on incorporating age-friendly projects whenever possible.

Request Title All-Weather Track Conversion at FIS Lower Field Department Policy and Executive Management / Joint Operations Team Requested Amount $310,000
Account Number(s) 01-32-7107
Background FIS Lower Field and Track is a joint use facility under an agreement with the La Cañada Unified School District. FIS Lower is one of the most popular fields in the community. It is home to youth sports groups such as soccer, baseball and football, as well as district tenant programs, summer camps, and Community Center programs. Many residents also use the track and outdoor fitness equipment for regular exercise.

Justification The FIS Lower Field facility in the past has been topic of discussion to implement major enhancements to increase the use time and durability of the field, including the conversion of the dirt track to a rubberized surface.

A rubberized all-weather track provides significant advantages over the existing dirt track for people utilizing the track as well as for staff maintaining it. It would provide shock absorption to protect runners’ joints, year-round usability, consistent traction, and durability for up to 20 years, if well maintained. Current maintenance involves redistributing the dirt,filling in holes, dragging and nailing (scarifying) as needed to improve the safety of those using the track.

The track is about 3,110 square yards, and resurfacing is expected to be about $99.03 per square yard. In addition to the cost of the resurfacing, the track would require installing a concrete curb around the field and may require installation of an asphalt base, similar to how the LCHS Track & Field track is built. An estimate for those costs will be requested if City Council would like to move forward with this budget request.

In February 2026, the Parks and Recreation Commission recommended that the City consider the project.

Background California SB 707 (2025-2026) passed in October 2025, and it significantly amended the Ralph M. Brown Act. It updated open meeting laws to include mandatory hybrid meeting options, strict teleconferencing rules (including video for disability accommodations), permanent social media use rules for officials, and translation requirements for eligible legislative bodies in certain jurisdictions. SB 707 applies to La Cañada Flintridge City Council Meetings and will take effect on July 1, 2026. SB 707 does not currently apply to City Commissions and other City legislative bodies, such as the Joint Operations Team and Emergency Preparedness Coordinating Committee meetings. While the mandatory hybrid meeting options are not required of the Commissions, staff do receive requests regularly for remote participation from both Commissioners and members of the public.

Currently, only City Council and Planning Commission utilize onsite AV staffing. The City Council could consider funding for additional AV staffing to provide hybrid meeting options for other Commissions/bodies.

Justification While SB707 currently does not apply to Commissions and other bodies, the legislature may amend that in the future. In addition, staff do receive regular requests for remote participation.

About $750 per meeting ($15,000 for 23 meetings)
Fiscal Impact Contracted AV staffing costs approximately $750 per meeting, or $9,000 annually per Commission (assuming 12 meetings).

The City Council could choose to allow hybrid meeting options to all Commissions/bodies or phase them in one by one.

The Community Development Department would use Citizen Connect to display its planning entitlements and building permits. Members of the public would be able to view the projects on a map and click for limited information about the permit. The portal would permit the public to view the status of projects through all stages of development, from initial submittal through the end of construction.

The City already uses Tyler’s permitting and licensing software so would be working with the same team from Tyler on implementation.

Request Title Geotechnical Investigation of Cornishon Tennis Courts Department Policy and Executive Management / Joint Operations Team Requested Amount $100,000
Account Number(s) 01-32-7107
Background The Cornishon Tennis Courts are a joint use facility under an agreement with the La Cañada Unified School District. These courts are regularly permitted to user groups throughout the year, as well as district tenant programs, summer camps, and Community Center Programs. Residents also utilize these courts for recreational tennis on a first-come, first serve basis.

Justification The City maintains eight tennis courts at 4490 Cornishon Avenue, La Cañada Flintridge. For the past several years, the foundation under the Cornishon Tennis Courts shifted, causing cracks to appear on the courts.

As a minimally invasive remedy, the courts have undergone multiple rounds of crack repairs and resurfacing to maintain the integrity of the courts on a surface level.

To determine what is required to safely repair or replace the foundation, a geotechnical investigation is needed to evaluate the subsurface soil, rock and groundwater conditions at this site. The investigation also determinesthe engineering properties of the ground to guide safe, costeffective foundation design, and reduce structural risks like settlement, landslides and ground water issues.

The geotechnical investigation would be a necessary first step to determine the estimated construction cost related to perform major repair or completely replace the foundation of the tennis courts. The estimated costs for the geotechnical investigation for the preparation of the design plans would be about $100,000.

In February 2026, the Parks and Recreation Commission recommended that the City consider remediation of the Cornishon tennis courts.

Request Title Playground Equipment at Memorial Park
Department Administration / Public Works / Joint Operations Team Requested Amount $1,000,000
Account Number(s) 01-31-8231
Background Memorial Park is the City's most used park. Community members reserve the picnic area and the gazebo area for private parties, and several community events take place at the park, including the City's Summer Music in the Park concert series. The park includes the largest playground of the City’s parks spanning various ages.

Justification The Memorial Park playground structure is used daily. During major events, the playground offers an area for kids to be active with parents close by to watch over them but still be part of the event taking place at the park.

The City installed the current play equipment over 26 years ago according to the historical data available. Based on manufacturing guidelines, playgrounds are recommended to be redone every 20 years. Over the last seven years, the City has noticed an increasing number of failures with parts and equipment requiring increasing maintenance needs. The tire swing was recently removed from the playground when it was deemed beyond repair and could not be replaced with a similar product due to ADA-accessibility issues.

As the equipment is reaching its end of its useful life, the City should consider replacing the equipment. The City previously reached out to a vendor to discuss possible revitalizing the playground equipment options. The City has two possible options:

Option 1 Play Equipment Replacement: approximately $800,000 This option would include replacing the old play equipment with newer, more ADA-friendly, play-friendly equipment. With this option, the new equipment would be confined to the existing area and limit the flexibility and options that are available and limit the play area. The layout and feel of the playground would remain the same.

Option 2 (Play Equipment Replacement and Resurfacing): approximately $1,000,000
This option is the redesign and rebuild of the playground and to build an entirely new playground footprint, as well as resurfacing the entire play area. This option would redesign the playground from scratch, optimize the space, and introduce new features unavailable 26 years ago and resurface the play area that would make the site accessible under ADA guidelines.
