Request Title New Permit Technician - Full Time - Permanent Department Community Development - Building and Safety Division Requested Amount $114,050
Account Number(s) 01-26-5001 (Salaries Full Time - Building & Safety) 01-11-6061 (Information Technology - Administration)
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.

The costs for salary and benefits, IT (hardware & software licensing) as well as a one-off cost for furniture modification are:

Request Title Increase Contract Amount for Sustainability Analyst Consultant Department Community Development Department – Planning Division Requested Amount $80,000
Account Number 01-25-6061 (Professional Services)
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.

Fiscal Impact $80,000 (to be added to the budgeted amount of $100,000 for a total of $180,000)

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.

Request Title Sustainability & Resilience Commission (SRC) Community Outreach & Engagement Implementation
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.

PW 14

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.
