1. Find that the proposed actions are not "projects" as defined in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Public Resources Code Section 21065 and Section 15378(b)(4) and (5) of the State CEQA Guidelines and, as such, are not subject to environmental review; and
2. Approve Amendments to the Fiscal Year 2026 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Budget as detailed in Attachment A of this report.
BACKGROUND:
Throughout the fiscal year, the Department of Public Works in conjunction with other impacted departments reviews active CIP projects to determine if budgetary changes are needed. Staff has completed this report detailing needed budget adjustments as detailed on Attachments A. The budgetary changes to the projects are listed below.
1. Pedestrian Crossing Enhancements Program FY 2021 -2028 (75112)-The Department of Public Works recommends appropriating $268,958 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to this project and increasing the budget by a like amount.

Approve Amendments to FY 2026 CIP Budget
February 9, 2026
2. Alkebulan Cultural Center Improvements (71921) - The Department of Public Works recommends appropriating $300,000 in CDBG funds to this project and increasing the budget by a like amount. These funds were awarded to the City by HDD as part of the Substantial Amendment to the 2024 CDBG Annual Action Plan and was approved by City Council on August 18, 2025. This project was originally created in FY 2022 for repairs to this city owned building's clay tiles and torch down roof system, and ADA upgrades to the restroom. This work was completed in FY 2024. The project was removed from the CIP budget in FY 2025 but was not officially closed. This appropriation will reactivate this project and fund the replacement of the roof on the main building to ensure a complete and watertight roof system, and water damage repairs to one of the interior offices in the building. This work will be completed in FY 2026.
3. Miscellaneous Sidewalk Repair Program FY 2026 - 2030(73950) - The Department of Public Works recommends appropriating $78,110 in Private Capital to this project and increasing the budget by like amount. These funds have been collected from property owners and developers as conditions of development or sales of the property. The program provides for replacement of damaged sidewalks along property frontages; these repairs will help maintain pedestrian accessibility along the City's sidewalk network.
4. YWCA Building Preservation (71935) - The Department of Public Works recommends transferring $969,062 in General Fund from the Building Maintenance FY 2021 - 2025 (71903) to this project. The YWCA Building Preservation project was originally created as a subproject and fully funded under the Building Maintenance project. In FY 2025, the YWCA Building Preservation project was removed from 71903 to create a standalone project. However, when the project was created, the funding was not officially transferred.
This transfer will correct both project budgets.
Proposed New Project
The following project is recommended to be added to the FY 2026 - 2030 CIP Budget.
This project was presented to the Planning Commission on January 21,2026,and was found consistent with the General Plan.
5. Police and Fire Training Facility Reconstruction Design (71936) - The Police Department recommends this project be added to the FY 2026 CIP budget with a total estimated project cost of $300,000 and recommends appropriating $300,000 in Public Safety Augmentation Fund to this project.
DESCRIPTION: This project provides for the design of the firing range and training facility at the Civil Defense site to include the layout, structure and building systems to make the space functional, safe and meet all required building standards.
JUSTIFICATION: The firing range and training facility at the Civil Defense site was lost during the Eaton Fire in 2025. This phase will ensure that the proposed rebuild meets all applicable structural, architectural, and safety standards. The reconstructed facilities will provide dedicated training, storage, and office space for both the Pasadena Police Department and the Pasadena Fire Department, enabling each to meet stringent California Approve Amendments to FY 2026 CIP Budget

training requirements and continue delivering best-practice public safety services to the community.
SCHEDULE: Design will begin in FY 2026.
The City does anticipate receiving insurance proceeds to fund the construction cost. See Attachment B for the full project page.
COUNCIL POLICY CONSIDERATION:
All of the above projects and actions address City Council's goals to maintain fiscal responsibility and stability and improve, maintain, and enhance public facilities and infrastructure.
E NVIRONM ENTAL ANALYSIS:
CEQA excludes from environmental analysis those actions that are not "projects" as defined by State CEQA Guidelines Section 15378. That section excludes from the definition of "project" the creation of government funding mechanisms and fiscal activities which do not yet commit the lead agency to any specific project and excludes organizational or administrative governmental activities that do not result in physical changes to the environment. The actions proposed herein are budgetary and part of the City's normal administrative process as it takes early steps to prepare for the possibility of undertaking a project, and therefore they are not yet "projects" as defined by CEQA. As the City becomes more certain it will undertake one of the projects, and before it commits itself to the project, the appropriate environmental analysis will be conducted and brought to the appropriate City body for approval.
Approve Amendments to FY 2026 CIP Budget
February 9, 2026
FISCAL IMPACT:
The cumulative results of the budget amendments will increase the FY 2026 CIP Budget by $947,068. The specific funding sources for the budget amendments are listed on Attachment A. There is no net change to the General Fund.
