(see Attachment E)
Background
The Fiscal Years 2025-27 Budget & Work Plan and Fiscal Years 2025-36 Capital Improvement Program were adopted by the City Council on June 25, 2025.

City Administrative Policy 2.9 establishes the following policy related to the adoption of capital improvement programs:
“In order to assist with the long-term development of funding for major capital improvement projects on public property, an 11-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for “major capital improvements projects” shall be adopted as a part of each budget. To comply with Orange County Transportation Authority requirements for maintaining eligibility to receive Measure M2 (OC Go) funds, a CIP shall also be adopted at each fiscal year intervening biennial budget adoptions. The adoption of ITEM 9.2
CC  04-15-2026 Item 9.2 – Page 3 of 4
intervening CIPs may also necessitate amendment of adopted budgets. A “major capital improvement project” is any project that meets the definition of a “public project” in California Public Contracts Code Section 22002, including “construction, reconstruction, erection, alteration, renovation, improvement, demolition, and repair work” of facilities owned, leased, or operated by the City, as well as any nonminor “painting or repainting.” Maintenance is not considered a public project. A “major capital improvement project” also includes pavement management work included in the City’s 10-year Pavement Management Plan, work that is required to be included in the CIP for Measure M2 (OC Go) eligibility, and any other project sodesignated by the City Council.” Discussion
Today’s meeting is an opportunity for City Council action, as well as public input, on “midyear” adjustments to the Fiscal Years 2025-27 Budget & Work Plan and Fiscal Years 2025-36 Capital Improvement Program. Staff recommends that the City Council take the proposed actions to ensure resources are appropriately applied to the design and construction of capital improvement projects aligned with the City Council’s priorities.

Significant Proposed Adjustments
Project Adjustment
City Hall Refurbishment
and Safety Project: Phase 5
• Increase appropriations by $1,000,000, based on the
completion of design documents (Fiscal Year 2025-26)
Woods End Wilderness
Preserve Trail Drainage and
Improvement Project
• Increase appropriations by $25,000, based on change
orders approved and anticipated to date (Fiscal Year
2025-26). More than half of the existing $67,004.19
change order budget was used to remove and replace
additional trees, following an arborist’s assessment.

Most other change orders have related to re-routing
water lines and preventing conflicts with the El Toro
Water District’s below ground infrastructure.

City Hall Complex
Emergency Backup
Generator Project
• Fund design in the amount of $50,000 (Fiscal Year
2026-27)
City Hall Complex Parking
Lot Improvement Project
• Identify estimated construction cost at $821,414,
based on recently completed design documents and
construction drawings
• Staff is not recommending proceeding with
construction at this time, pending completion of
phases 5 and 6 of the City Hall Refurbishment and
Safety Project.

ITEM 9.2
Item 9.2 – Page 4 of 4 CC  04-15-2026
City Hall Refurbishment
and Safety Project: Phase 6
• Fund design in the amount of $150,000 (Fiscal Year
2026-27)
• Clarify that the scope includes:
o Remodel of the second-floor lobby and office areas
o Improvement of heating, ventilation, and air
conditioning systems;
o Replacement of the red tile roof; and
o Other work related to accessibility, functionality,
safety, and security.
(Phase 6 is anticipated to be the final phase of the City Hall Refurbishment and Safety Project.)
Pavement Management
Plan Project
• Align projects beginning in Fiscal Year 2026-27 with the Fiscal Years 2026-36 Pavement Management Plan
• Advance the Fiscal Year 2027-28 project to be
completed together with the Fiscal Year 2026-27
project, consistent with the City Council’s direction on February 24, 2026
• The net impact of Pavement Management Plan Project
changes on Fiscal Year 2026-27 is $196,003.

Transportation-related
Operations & Maintenance
• Identify budget estimates for Fiscal Year 2032-33, as required by the Orange County Transportation
Authority
Fiscal Impact
The proposed actions would result in net increased appropriations for fiscal years 2025-26 and 2026-27 of $1,025,000 and $396,003, respectively. Of those increased appropriations, $1,025,000 in Fiscal Year 2025-26 and $200,000 in Fiscal Year 2026-27 would be drawn from the unassigned General Fund balance, which currently totals approximately $4.0 million.

MID-YEAR UPDATE (4/15/26)
CITY OF LAGUNA WOODS FISCAL YEARS 2025-27 BUDGET & WORK PLAN PAGE 8.0-1

8.0. CITY CAPITAL PROJECTS
This chapter describes major capital improvement projects that are included in this budget, as well as projects that are currently unfunded, but may be considered in the future.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
The City Council adopts an 11-year Capital Improvement Program (“CIP”) on an annual basis in order to assist with the long-term development of funding for major capital improvement projects. The City is required to adopt an at least seven-year CIP in order to receive funding from Orange County’s Measure M2 (OC Go) half-cent sales tax, which voters approved in 2006 to fund transportation projects and activities. While the first two years of the CIP are included in this budget and work plan, the City Council retains the ability to modify the CIP at its discretion and no funding commitment is created by the inclusion of unfunded projects or projects planned for future years.

The City considers a “major capital improvement project” to be any project that meets the definition of a “public project” in California Public Contract Code Section 22002, including “construction, reconstruction, erection, alteration, renovation, improvement, demolition, and repair work” of facilities owned, leased, or operated by the City, as well as any non-minor “painting or repainting.” Maintenance is not considered a public project. A “major capital improvement project” also includes pavement management work included in the City’s 10-year Pavement Management Plan, work that is required to be included in the CIP for Measure M2 (OC Go) eligibility, and any other project so-designated by the City Council.

Major capital improvement projects are categorized as either funded, partially funded, or unfunded. Partial funding of projects is not unusual, as full funding may be developed over the course of several fiscal years, as grants and other federal, state, and county funds are obtained in order to reduce impacts to the General Fund. In other cases, funding from the General Fund may be set aside for projects over multiple fiscal years in the interest of fiscal prudence. The preparation of design documents and construction drawings may also precede the allocation of construction funding.

The term of this CIP is fiscal years 2025-26 through 2035-36.

FUTURE OUTLOOK FOR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS
Active Transportation Plan
Developing an Active Transportation Plan is included as a significant work plan item in this budget and work plan. Once adopted, it is anticipated that additional projects will be identified for inclusion in this CIP.

Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) Cameras at Signalized Intersections Members of the City Council have expressed interest in installing CCTV cameras at signalized intersections to allow the City’s traffic engineers to monitor and observe traffic flow in real time. The CCTV cameras would not serve an enforcement purpose (i.e., they would not be red light cameras or speed cameras). Staff agrees that the installation of CCTV cameras would improve the City’s traffic operations capabilities and anticipates identifying opportunities for installation as part of future CIPs. (Note: Staff consulted with the California State Controller’s Office and was informed that the installation of CCTV cameras cannot be funded using Fuel Tax monies. As such, it is anticipated that General Fund appropriations would be required.) Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
Updating the City’s Local Hazard Mitigation Plan is included as a significant work plan item in this budget and work plan. As a result of that update and the implementation of General Plan Housing Element Program H-3.2.3, it is anticipated that additional projects will be identified for inclusion in this CIP.

• Improved traffic flow – Fiber optic communication is more reliable than copper cable communication, and modern controllers have more features and faster processing speed than the controllers currently used by the City This will allow for more immediate real-time data transfer between traffic signals and the City’s traffic management system, enabling dynamic traffic signal timing adjustments and leading to smoother traffic flow and reduced congestion.
• Improved safety – Fiber optic communications and modern controllers can help improve safety by supporting advanced traffic management features that might be deployed in the future, such as adaptive/ responsive traffic signal timing and vehicle-to-infrastructure (“V2I”) communications. Advanced traffic management can help to reduce the risk of accidents.
• Scalability – Fiber optic networks and modern controllers are highly scalable, accommodating future growth and changes in traffic patterns.
• Support for emerging technologies – The improvements will pave the way for the integration of emerging technologies like connected and automated vehicles, which require robust traffic signal infrastructure. • Cost savings – The improvements will result in cost savings as some of the traffic signal equipment improvements are necessary in the short term even if grant funding had not obtained (in that case, the City would be responsible for all costs, as opposed to 20% of costs). Long-term operational savings are also anticipated due to reduced maintenance needs and improved traffic management.

Cost
The one-time cost of designing and constructing the Laguna Woods portion of this project is estimated at $549,727 (as of October 2023; subject to the completion of design documents, construction drawings, and competitive bidding). The City will be responsible for 20% of costs ($109,946).

City Hall Complex Emergency Backup Generator Project
Funding Status: Partially Funded (2026-27)
Healthy and safe Professionally and
efficiently served
Project Description
This project involves the addition of an emergency backup generator and automatic transfer switch to serve portions of the City Hall Complex (two buildings – City Hall and the Public Library). The generator will be capable of providing sufficient power to allow core functions and cooling center operations to continue for at least 24 hours of continuous use.

Purpose
This project is intended to ensure that the City Hall Complex remains accessible, functional, safe, and secure during power outages and Public Safety Power Shutdown (“PSPS”) events. The City Hall Complex contains the only public buildings in Laguna Woods that would be available for residents and other persons to obtain resources or respite during power outages and PSPS events. City Hall serves as the seat of government and offices for all City staff, as well as the City’s emergency operations center and cooling center.

City Hall also regularly hosts a vote center during public elections. • 82.2% of Laguna Woods residents are 65 or older, with an average age of 74.9 years (2020 U.S. Census) – Older adults, including persons who rely on electric life-sustaining equipment, are identified by the California Public Utilities Commission as particularly vulnerable to the effects of deenergization during PSPS events. Older adults are also considered to be access and functionally impaired, per California Government Code Section 8593.3(f)(1).
• Climate Change – Cooling centers are considered “local community resilience stations” established to mitigate the public health impacts of extreme heat and other emergency situations exacerbated by climate change (e.g., power outages/PSPS events) on local populations, per California Government Code Section 8593.3(f)(3)).

El Toro Road Green Street and Flood Relief Project
Funding Status: Unfunded

High in quality of life
Projected Funding Plan: Unscheduled
Project Description
This project involves making “green street” improvements and upsizing the existing storm drain and catch basins on eastbound El Toro Road between Laguna Woods City Hall and the Valencia Center (approximately 0.5 linear miles). As part of this project, the eastbound sidewalk will be reconstructed to include natural stormwater management approaches that slow, filter, and cleanse stormwater runoff from impervious areas.

Purpose
This project is based on the findings of a hydrologic/hydraulic study that was commissioned by the City in 2019 to analyze recurring instances of localized flooding that affect both vehicle travel lanes and the joint-use pedestrian/ bicycle/golf cart sidewalk. The work is intended to mitigate localized flooding resultant of a 10-year storm event.
• El Toro Road carries significant traffic – El Toro Road is an arterial highway identified on the 2024 Orange County Master Plan of Arterial Highways as “major” with a capacity of up to 45,000 average daily trips. • Climate Change – State agencies and academic institutions (including the University of California) have long held that, despite drought conditions, precipitation and flood risk is likely to increase as a result of climate change. The 2021 California Climate Adaptation Strategy projects that Orange County will see “increased frequency and severity of rain events” and increased oscillation “between dry and wet weather extremes.”

Funding Status: Planned

Projected Funding Plan: See table below
Estimated Useful Life: 15 years from each project’s completion date Project Description
This project involves the rehabilitation of deteriorated pavement along the specified street section(s), including asphalt concrete pavement cold milling and repaving. The work may also include the adjustment of utility covers and valves to grade; re-establishment of survey monuments, painted striping, and pavement markings; relocation of vehicle stop lines back from crosswalks; reconstruction of curbs, gutters, and sidewalks; installation of green-colored pavement in bikeways; and, replacement of traffic signal backplates, visors, and illuminated street name signs.

Purpose
This project is part of the City’s 10-year Pavement Management Plan to extend the useful life and improve the quality of pavement on street sections rated at a Pavement Condition Index (“PCI”) below 80. Ongoing pavement management helps to minimize the prolonged and more impactful work that typically accompanies projects involving significantly degraded pavement.

Relocating vehicle stop lines back from pedestrian crosswalks is intended to promote expanded clearance zones for pedestrians.

Reconstructing curbs, gutters, sidewalks and other concrete road elements is intended to serve a maintenance function.

Installing green-colored pavement in bicycle lanes is intended to further consistency with Chapter 9C of the 2014 California Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices, which calls for the consideration of the use of green-colored pavement in bikeways where appropriate.

Project Description
About the Pedestrian Accessibility Improvement Project
This project involves the improvement of pedestrian paths-of-travel, including elimination of gaps, lifts, and other uneven sidewalk surfaces; reconstruction of curb ramps; reconstruction of driveway crossings; and/or, replacement of detectable warnings. The work may also include the modification of right-ofway to increase navigable area and clearances.

Improvements are prioritized using factors including the following, which are identified in General Plan Housing Element Program H-3.1.1:
• The California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment’s California Communities Environmental Health Screening Tool (“CalEnviroScreen”) scores for individual census tracts, with an emphasis on undertaking improvements in and around Census Tract 626.47 due to its comparatively higher CalEnviroScreen score, as feasible and economical; and
• Education domain scores from the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee (“TCAC”)/HCD Opportunity Map, with an emphasis on undertaking improvements in and around Census Tract 626.22 due to its comparatively lower scores, as feasible and economical.

In addition to any unconstructed improvements identified for phases 9 or 10 of the Pedestrian Accessibility Improvement Project, the following improvements will be prioritized in future phases:

8.0. CITY CAPITAL PROJECTS
This chapter describes major capital improvement projects that are included in this budget, as well as projects that are currently unfunded, but may be considered in the future.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
The City Council adopts an 11-year Capital Improvement Program (“CIP”) on an annual basis in order to assist with the long-term development of funding for major capital improvement projects. The City is required to adopt an at least seven-year CIP in order to receive funding from Orange County’s Measure M2 (OC Go) half-cent sales tax, which voters approved in 2006 to fund transportation projects and activities. While the first two years of the CIP are included in this budget and work plan, the City Council retains the ability to modify the CIP at its discretion and no funding commitment is created by the inclusion of unfunded projects or projects planned for future years.

The City considers a “major capital improvement project” to be any project that meets the definition of a “public project” in California Public Contract Code Section 22002, including “construction, reconstruction, erection, alteration, renovation, improvement, demolition, and repair work” of facilities owned, leased, or operated by the City, as well as any non-minor “painting or repainting.” Maintenance is not considered a public project. A “major capital improvement project” also includes pavement management work included in the City’s 10-year Pavement Management Plan, work that is required to be included in the CIP for Measure M2 (OC Go) eligibility, and any other project so-designated by the City Council.

Major capital improvement projects are categorized as either funded, partially funded, or unfunded. Partial funding of projects is not unusual, as full funding may be developed over the course of several fiscal years, as grants and other federal, state, and county funds are obtained in order to reduce impacts to the General Fund. In other cases, funding from the General Fund may be set aside for projects over multiple fiscal years in the interest of fiscal prudence. The preparation of design documents and construction drawings may also precede the allocation of construction funding.

The term of this CIP is fiscal years 2025-26 through 2035-36.

FUTURE OUTLOOK FOR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS
Active Transportation Plan
Developing an Active Transportation Plan is included as a significant work plan item in this budget and work plan. Once adopted, it is anticipated that additional projects will be identified for inclusion in this CIP.

Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) Cameras at Signalized Intersections Members of the City Council have expressed interest in installing CCTV cameras at signalized intersections to allow the City’s traffic engineers to MID-YEAR UPDATE (4/15/26)
PAGE 8.0-8 CITY OF LAGUNA WOODS FISCAL YEARS 2025-27 BUDGET & WORK PLAN monitor and observe traffic flow in real time. The CCTV cameras would not serve an enforcement purpose (i.e., they would not be red light cameras or speed cameras). Staff agrees that the installation of CCTV cameras would improve the City’s traffic operations capabilities and anticipates identifying opportunities for installation as part of future CIPs. (Note: Staff consulted with the California State Controller’s Office and was informed that the installation of CCTV cameras cannot be funded using Fuel Tax monies. As such, it is anticipated that General Fund appropriations would be required.) Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
Updating the City’s Local Hazard Mitigation Plan is included as a significant work plan item in this budget and work plan. As a result of that update and the implementation of General Plan Housing Element Program H-3.2.3, it is anticipated that additional projects will be identified for inclusion in this CIP.

Pavement Management Plan
The City’s 10-year Pavement Management Plan will undergo its next biennial update in Fiscal Year 2025-26 for a term spanning fiscal years 2026-27 through 2035-36. As a result of that update, it is anticipated that additional pavement management plan projects will be identified for inclusion in this CIP.

Statewide Water Quality Control Plans for Trash
The City is in the process of refining its strategy for complying with the State Water Resources Control Board’s Statewide Water Quality Control Plans for Trash. As a result of that refinement, it is anticipated that additional projects will be identified for inclusion in this CIP.

Woods End Wilderness Preserve Detention Basin
During the design of the Woods End Wilderness Preserve Trail Drainage and Improvement Project, returning the detention basin located in Woods End Wilderness Preserve to a more natural condition was identified as a potential project to be added to this CIP in the future. To assist with the scoping of such a project, an engineering study to evaluate the hydrologic function and need of the detention basin should be completed.

PAGE 8.0-20 CITY OF LAGUNA WOODS FISCAL YEARS 2025-27 BUDGET & WORK PLAN  Fiber communication upgrades – installation of fiber optic communications cables and peripheral communications equipment along the project corridor spanning the five signalized intersections listed below and at City Hall. This is anticipated to require a combination of boring and trenching within public street and sidewalk areas.
o El Toro Road/Avenida Sevilla
o El Toro Road/Church Intersection
o El Toro Road/Moulton Parkway
o Moulton Parkway/Laguna Woods Village Gates 12 & 16
o Moulton Parkway/Santa Maria Avenue
 Traffic signal equipment upgrades – signal controller/cabinet modifications at the five signalized intersections listed above.

Purpose
Benefits of this project include:
 Enhanced traffic management – Fiber optic cables have a higher bandwidth than copper wires, which means they can carry more data at the same time. This is important for traffic signal communications, as it allows for the transmission of high-resolution video images and realtime traffic data for proactive traffic management.  Improved traffic flow – Fiber optic communication is more reliable than copper cable communication, and modern controllers have more features and faster processing speed than the controllers currently used by the City This will allow for more immediate real-time data transfer between traffic signals and the City’s traffic management system, enabling dynamic traffic signal timing adjustments and leading to smoother traffic flow and reduced congestion.
 Improved safety – Fiber optic communications and modern controllers can help improve safety by supporting advanced traffic management features that might be deployed in the future, such as adaptive/ responsive traffic signal timing and vehicle-to-infrastructure (“V2I”) communications. Advanced traffic management can help to reduce the risk of accidents.

MID-YEAR UPDATE (4/15/26)
CITY OF LAGUNA WOODS FISCAL YEARS 2025-27 BUDGET & WORK PLAN PAGE 8.0-21  Scalability – Fiber optic networks and modern controllers are highly scalable, accommodating future growth and changes in traffic patterns.
 Support for emerging technologies – The improvements will pave the way for the integration of emerging technologies like connected and automated vehicles, which require robust traffic signal infrastructure.  Cost savings – The improvements will result in cost savings as some of the traffic signal equipment improvements are necessary in the short term even if grant funding had not obtained (in that case, the City would be responsible for all costs, as opposed to 20% of costs). Longterm operational savings are also anticipated due to reduced maintenance needs and improved traffic management.

Cost
The one-time cost of designing and constructing the Laguna Woods portion of this project is estimated at $549,727 (as of October 2023; subject to the completion of design documents, construction drawings, and competitive bidding). The City will be responsible for 20% of costs ($109,946).

Funding
General Fund monies will be used to fund the City’s portion of project costs ($109,946). Grant funding from a 2024 Orange County Transportation Authority Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Program (Project P) award will fund the balance of this project. The City of Laguna Hills, as the lead agency for this project, will account for and appropriate the grant award.  Fiscal Year 2024-25: General Fund/Capital Projects Fund ($109,946) – satisfies the 20% match required by the 2024 Orange County Transportation Authority Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Program (Project P) award

Purpose
This project is intended to ensure that the City Hall Complex remains accessible, functional, safe, and secure during power outages and Public Safety Power Shutdown (“PSPS”) events. The City Hall Complex contains the only public buildings in Laguna Woods that would be available for residents and other persons to obtain resources or respite during power outages and PSPS events. City Hall serves as the seat of government and offices for all City staff, as well as the City’s emergency operations center and cooling center.

City Hall also regularly hosts a vote center during public elections.  82.2% of Laguna Woods residents are 65 or older, with an average age of 74.9 years (2020 U.S. Census) – Older adults, including persons who rely on electric life-sustaining equipment, are identified by the California Public Utilities Commission as particularly vulnerable to the effects of de-energization during PSPS events. Older adults are also considered to be access and functionally impaired, per California Government Code Section 8593.3(f)(1).
 Climate Change – Cooling centers are considered “local community resilience stations” established to mitigate the public health impacts of extreme heat and other emergency situations exacerbated by climate change (e.g., power outages/PSPS events) on local populations, per California Government Code Section 8593.3(f)(3)).

Purpose
This project is part of the City’s 10-year Pavement Management Plan to extend the useful life and improve the quality of pavement on street sections rated at a Pavement Condition Index (“PCI”) below 80. Ongoing pavement management helps to minimize the prolonged and more impactful work that typically accompanies projects involving significantly degraded pavement.

As of October 20232025, the specified El Toro Road street section had a blended PCI of 80.3 for all segments; the lowest segment PCI was 7860.4 and the specified Moulton Parkway street section had a PCI of 68.55.

Relocating vehicle stop lines back from pedestrian crosswalks is intended to promote expanded clearance zones for pedestrians.

Reconstructing curbs, gutters, sidewalks and other concrete road elements is intended to serve a maintenance function.

Installing green-colored pavement in bicycle lanes is intended to further consistency with Chapter 9C of the 2014 California Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices, which calls for the consideration of the use of green-colored pavement in bikeways where appropriate.

This project involves the addition of an emergency backup generator and automatic transfer switch to serve portions of the City Hall Complex (two buildings – City Hall and the Public Library). The generator will be capable of providing sufficient power to allow core functions and cooling center operations to continue for at least 24 hours of continuous use.

Purpose
This project is intended to ensure that the City Hall Complex remains accessible, functional, safe, and secure during power outages and Public Safety Power Shutdown (“PSPS”) events. The City Hall Complex contains the only public buildings in Laguna Woods that would be available for residents and other persons to obtain resources or respite during power outages and PSPS events. City Hall serves as the seat of government and offices for all City staff, as well as the City’s emergency operations center and cooling center.

City Hall also regularly hosts a vote center during public elections.  82.2% of Laguna Woods residents are 65 or older, with an average age of 74.9 years (2020 U.S. Census) – Older adults, including persons who rely on electric life-sustaining equipment, are identified by the California Public Utilities Commission as particularly vulnerable to the effects of de-energization during PSPS events. Older adults are also considered to be access and functionally impaired, per California Government Code Section 8593.3(f)(1).
 Climate Change – Cooling centers are considered “local community resilience stations” established to mitigate the public health impacts of extreme heat and other emergency situations exacerbated by climate change (e.g., power outages/PSPS events) on local populations, per California Government Code Section 8593.3(f)(3)).

Cost & Funding
The one-time cost of designing and constructing this project is estimated at $425,000 (as of April 2025; subject to the completion of design documents, construction drawings, and competitive bidding). Funding has not yet been identified; the City will seek grant opportunities.

Project Description
This project involves making “green street” improvements and upsizing the existing storm drain and catch basins on eastbound El Toro Road between Laguna Woods City Hall and the Valencia Center (approximately 0.5 linear miles). As part of this project, the eastbound sidewalk will be reconstructed to include natural stormwater management approaches that slow, filter, and cleanse stormwater runoff from impervious areas.

CITY OF LAGUNA WOODS FISCAL YEARS 2025-27 BUDGET & WORK PLAN PAGE 8.0-63 Purpose
This project is based on the findings of a hydrologic/hydraulic study that was commissioned by the City in 2019 to analyze recurring instances of localized flooding that affect both vehicle travel lanes and the joint-use pedestrian/ bicycle/golf cart sidewalk. The work is intended to mitigate localized flooding resultant of a 10-year storm event.
 El Toro Road carries significant traffic – El Toro Road is an arterial highway identified on the 2024 Orange County Master Plan of Arterial Highways as “major” with a capacity of up to 45,000 average daily trips.
 Climate Change – State agencies and academic institutions (including the University of California) have long held that, despite drought conditions, precipitation and flood risk is likely to increase as a result of climate change. The 2021 California Climate Adaptation Strategy projects that Orange County will see “increased frequency and severity of rain events” and increased oscillation “between dry and wet weather extremes.”

CITY OF LAGUNA WOODS FISCAL YEARS 2025-27 BUDGET & WORK PLAN PAGE 8.0-65 pavement markings; relocation of vehicle stop lines back from crosswalks; reconstruction of curbs, gutters, and sidewalks; installation of green-colored pavement in bikeways; and, replacement of traffic signal backplates, visors, and illuminated street name signs.

Purpose
This project is part of the City’s 10-year Pavement Management Plan to extend the useful life and improve the quality of pavement on street sections rated at a Pavement Condition Index (“PCI”) below 80. Ongoing pavement management helps to minimize the prolonged and more impactful work that typically accompanies projects involving significantly degraded pavement.

Relocating vehicle stop lines back from pedestrian crosswalks is intended to promote expanded clearance zones for pedestrians.

Reconstructing curbs, gutters, sidewalks and other concrete road elements is intended to serve a maintenance function.

Installing green-colored pavement in bicycle lanes is intended to further consistency with Chapter 9C of the 2014 California Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices, which calls for the consideration of the use of green-colored pavement in bikeways where appropriate.

Replacing traffic signal backplates and visors is intended to serve a maintenance function. The new traffic signal backplates will include a retroreflective border strip around the outside edge of the front surface.

Replacing illuminated street names signs is intended to serve a maintenance function and improve wayfinding.

Cost & Funding
Over the course of fiscal years 2025-26 through 2033-34, the one-time cost of constructing these projects is estimated to be at least $2,294,408535,000 (as of April 2025February 2026; subject to the completion of design documents, construction drawings, and competitive bidding). It is anticipated that Road Maintenance & Rehabilitation Program Fund monies will be used to fund these projects.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAGUNA WOODS, CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING A NEW 11-YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM FOR FISCAL YEARS 2025-26 THROUGH 2035-36, IN CONFORMANCE WITH APPLICABLE

CITY POLICIES AND DISCRETION
WHEREAS, City Administrative Policy 2.9 establishes the following policy related to the adoption of capital improvement programs:
“In order to assist with the long-term development of funding for major capital improvement projects on public property, an 11-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for “major capital improvements projects” shall be adopted as a part of each budget. To comply with Orange County Transportation Authority requirements for maintaining eligibility to receive Measure M2 (OC Go) funds, a CIP shall also be adopted at each fiscal year intervening biennial budget adoptions. The adoption of intervening CIPs may also necessitate amendment of adopted budgets. A “major capital improvement project” is any project that meets the definition of a “public project” in California Public Contracts Code Section 22002, including “construction, reconstruction, erection, alteration, renovation, improvement, demolition, and repair work” of facilities owned, leased, or operated by the City, as well as any non-minor “painting or repainting.” Maintenance is not considered a public project. A “major capital improvement project” also includes pavement management work included in the City’s 10-year Pavement Management Plan, work that is required to be included in the CIP for Measure M2 (OC Go) eligibility, and any other project so-designated by the City Council.”
; and
WHEREAS, the Fiscal Years 2025-36 Capital Improvement Program (“CIP”) was adopted by the City Council on June 25, 2025; and
WHEREAS, the City Manager presented a proposed update of the Fiscal Years 2025-36 CIP (“Mid-Year CIP”) to the City Council on April 15, 2026; and WHEREAS, the Fiscal Year 2025-26 expenditures identified in the Mid-Year CIP are consistent with the City Manager’s proposed amendments to the Fiscal Year 2025-27 Budget as presented to the City Council on April 15, 2026; and WHEREAS, the Fiscal Year 2026-27 expenditures identified in the Mid-Year CIP are consistent with the City Manager’s proposed amendments to the Fiscal Year 2025-27 Budget as presented to the City Council on April 15, 2026.

WHEREAS, the City of Laguna Woods (“City”) seeks to maintain its eligibility to receive apportionments of Measure M2 (OC Go) sales tax revenues that can be used to fund transportation-related projects and programs; and
WHEREAS, a prerequisite of such eligibility for the City is the annual filing of a Measure M2 (OC Go) eligibility package for review and approval by the Orange County Transportation Authority (“OCTA”); and
WHEREAS, a required component of the Measure M2 (OC Go) eligibility package is an adopted seven-year Capital Improvement Program that includes, at a minimum, all programs and projects which are needed to meet and maintain adopted levels of service and performance standards, in addition to all projects and programs proposed to receive Measure M2 (OC Go) funding; and
WHEREAS, the Capital Improvement Program, for the purpose of Measure M2 (OC Go) eligibility, is recognized as a program and project finance and planning tool to assist the City in the long-term development and funding of transportation-related programs and projects, and not a budget commitment beyond the fiscal year(s) for which budgets have been adopted by the City Council; and
WHEREAS, the City updates the Capital Improvement Program annually to include adjustments to funding and project schedules; and
WHEREAS, the City has identified the development and adoption of an 11-year Capital Improvement Program that includes both transportation and non-transportationrelated programs and projects as a prudent action to assist with long-term financial planning; and
WHEREAS, OCTA requires that the City Council adopt a statement of the transportation-related projects and Measure M2 (OC Go) budgets included in the next seven years of the City’s 11-year Capital Improvement Program in the format generated by the OCTA’s OCFundtracker database.

Item 9.3 – Page 2 of 3 CC  04-15-2026
The City is represented by Assemblymember Diane Dixon (District 72) in the California State Assembly and Senator Choi (District 37) in the California State Senate.

Discussion
Today’s meeting is an opportunity for City Council action, as well as public input, on various legislative proposals currently being considered by the California State Legislature. Staff recommends that the City Council take the proposed actions to be apprised of and advocate for legislative proposals with the potential to affect the City.

California Senate Bill 897 (Choi; Vehicles: abandoned vehicles.) (“SB 897”) (see Attachments A and B)
SB 897 would authorize the City of Laguna Woods to use the amount of abandoned vehicle abatement funds received from the fee imposed by the service authority that formerly operated in the County of Orange, and the interest accrued thereon, for purposes of enforcing provisions of the Vehicle Code on public highways. • SB 897 is sponsored by the City.
• SB 897 is on the consent calendar for the Senate Transportation Committee’s hearing on April 14, 2026. City Manager Macon will report on the hearing and the status of SB 897 at today’s meeting.
• SB 897 is a “receive and file” item only. No action is proposed.

California Senate Bill 1135 (Blakespear; California Wildlife Coexistence Act.) (“SB 1135”) (see Attachment C)
SB 1135 would require the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (“department”), upon appropriation by the California Legislature, to establish the Wildlife Coexistence Program to manage and promote wildlife coexistence by conducting specified activities, including maintaining a statewide wildlife incident reporting tool. SB 1135 would rename the California Wolf-Livestock Compensation Pilot Program to the Wolf-Livestock Coexistence and Compensation Program and would require the department, upon appropriation by the Legislature, to establish the program to provide resources to eligible participants for purposes relating to wolves and livestock. SB 1135 would authorize the department, upon appropriation by the Legislature, including the cost for implementation, to provide resources to wildlife coexistence partners, as defined, to support efforts required for the Wildlife Coexistence Program and the Wolf-Livestock Coexistence and Compensation Program. SB 1135 would require the department, upon appropriation by the Legislature, to establish the Wildlife Coexistence Technical Advisory Committee to provide technical guidance, public input, and programmatic recommendations related to the department’s wildlife coexistence efforts. SB 1135 would require the department, on or before July 1, 2028, to include specified information on its internet website, as provided. [emphasis added]
ITEM 9.3
CC  04-15-2026 Item 9.3 – Page 3 of 3
• Staff recommends the City Council adopt a position in support of SB 1135. SB 1135 would establish a framework for additional state resources related to human-coyote interactions, as well as enhanced information sharing.
• SB 1135 was introduced by Senate Blakespear. Staff from Senator Blakespear’s office will make a presentation regarding SB 1135 at today’s meeting.

California Assembly Bill 2517 (Calderon; Fire hazards: fire hazard severity zones.) (“AB 2517”) (see Attachments D, E, and F)
AB 2517 would require the State Fire Marshal to, no fewer than 180 days before finalizing the designation of local responsibility areas as moderate, high, and very high fire hazard severity zones, post specified information on its public internet website, conduct regional public workshops to receive oral public comments and consider those comments, host a 30-day public comment period to receive written comments from interested stakeholders and respond to all written comments by local agencies within 30 days of the end of the public comment period, and coordinate with other state agencies to help educate the public during the public workshops, as specified. AB 2517 would also require, on or before January 1, 2030, and every 5 years thereafter, the State Fire Marshal to review the local responsibility area lands designated as moderate, high, and very high fire hazard severity zones and to recommend changes. AB 2517 would no longer require this review to, when possible, fall within the timeframes for each county’s general plan update. AB 2517 would authorize a local agency to, at its discretion, increase the level of fire hazard severity applicable to a parcel in its jurisdiction if a parcel contains 2 or more designations, so that the higher level of fire hazard severity would apply to the entire parcel. AB 2517 would require the State Fire Marshal to publish within 60 days the local ordinance transmitted to the board, as described above, on its internet website.
• Staff recommends the City Council adopt a position in support of AB 2517. AB 2517 would make the process for designating fire hazard severity zones more transparent. • AB 2517 is sponsored by the League of California Cities (“Cal Cities”). Staff from Cal Cities will make a presentation regarding AB 2517 at today’s meeting.

Fiscal Impact
Sufficient to support this item are included in the City’s budget.

SENATE BILL No. 897
Introduced by Senator Choi
(Coauthor: Senator Strickland)
(Coauthor: Assembly Member Dixon)
January 16, 2026
An act to amend Section 22710 of the Vehicle Code relating to vehicles.
legislative counsel’s digest
SB 897, as introduced, Choi. Vehicles: abandoned vehicles.

Existing law authorizes a county satisfying specified conditions to establish a service authority for the abatement of abandoned vehicles and to impose a $1 vehicle registration fee for the abatement of abandoned vehicles. The fees imposed and the moneys received by the service authority from the Abandoned Vehicle Trust Fund, a continuously appropriated fund, can only be used for the abatement, removal, and disposal of abandoned, wrecked, dismantled, or inoperative vehicles from private or public property. The service authority is authorized to adopt an ordinance establishing procedures for the abatement, removal, and disposal, as a public nuisance, of an abandoned, wrecked, dismantled, or inoperative vehicle and for the recovery of costs.

This bill, notwithstanding these provisions, would authorize the City of Laguna Woods to use the amount of abandoned vehicle abatement funds received from the fee imposed by the service authority that formerly operated in the County of Orange, and the interest accrued thereon, for purposes of enforcing provisions of this code on public highways.

This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the City of Laguna Woods. 99 ITEM 9.3 - Attachment A

SUBJECT: Senate Bill 897 (Choi) Vehicles: abandoned vehicles.

SPONSOR (As introduced on January 16, 2026)
Dear Chair Cortese:

The City of Laguna Woods is pleased to sponsor SB 897, which would authorize the City of Laguna Woods to use the amount of abandoned vehicle abatement funds received from the fee imposed by the service authority that formerly operated in the County of Orange, and the interest accrued thereon, for purposes of enforcing provisions of the Vehicle Code on public highways.

The City of Laguna Woods has a fund balance of approximately $43,000 that has accumulated over time in its Service Authority for Abandoned Vehicles (SAAV) Fund. SAAV funds were generated by a $1.00 vehicle registration fee that was charged in connection with the now defunct Orange County Service Authority for Abandoned Vehicles. State law restricts the use of SAAV funds to abandoned vehicle abatement and requires that interest be accrued on unspent funds.

Abandoned vehicles have not historically been an issue in Laguna Woods, leaving the City of Laguna Woods with SAAV funds collected long ago that cannot be spent. For at least the past 17 years, it has not been necessary for the City of Laguna Woods to abate even a single abandoned vehicle.

SB 897 would give the City of Laguna Woods the authority to spend its SAAV fund balance in a manner that creates clear public benefit. Specifically, since the original purpose of the SAAV funds was to enforce provisions of the Vehicle Code related to abandoned vehicles, SB 897 seeks only to allow the City of Laguna Woods to use its SAAV fund balance to enforce other provisions of the Vehicle Code (e.g., reckless driving, running red lights, speeding, and other moving violations). SB 897 would make use of the City of Laguna Woods’ SAAV fund balance possible while ensuring that such use remains both vehicle and public safety focused.

If you have any questions or would like any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me by telephone at (949) 639-0525 or via email at [email protected]. Thank you for your time and consideration.
