An electronic version can also be found on the City's website at httDS://www.citvofDasadena.neVpublic-works/engineerina- and-construction/capital-improvement-program/. On April 20, 2026, and May 4, 2026, the joint City Council/Finance Committee held workshops to review and discuss the Recommended FY 2027 - 2031 CIP Budget.

Changes to Printed Recommended FY 2027 - 2031 CIP
Below are the adjustments to the printed Recommended FY 2027 - 2031 CIP which have been reviewed and discussed by the joint City Council/Finance Committee and are incorporated into the budget and reflected in Attachment A - Exhibit B.
1. Annual Citywide Street Resurfacing and ADA Improvement Program FY 2027 (New Phase) - The Department of Public Works recommends appropriating an additional $1,600,000 in Gas Tax and $1,125,000 in Community Development Block Grant Funds to this project. This action will increase the FY 27 appropriation from $5,900,000 to $8,625,000. Staff also identified an additional $2.2 million of funding from FY 2026 completed or deferred projects that will be reallocated to this project on a future CIP Budget Amendment report bringing the total funding to approximately $10.8 million. This additional funding will allow staff to resurface 11 center line miles including completing the Rose Bowl Loop paving work in FY 2027.
2. Street Drainage Improvement Program FY 2027 - 2031 (New) - The Department of Public Works recommends increasing the FY 2027 recommended appropriation to this project from $440,000 to $1,000,000 in Sewer Fund and increasing the budget by a like amount. This project will provide for the construction of new or repair of broken and raised concrete curbs and gutters for drainage improvements along several City streets. Staff is requesting this increase due to volume of locations that need to be repaired in FY 2027.
3. Guardrail Program FY 2023 - 2027(73941) - The Department of Public Works recommends removing the requested FY 2027 appropriation of $100,000 in Gas Tax and moving the funding to a higher priority project. There are sufficient funds on the project to cover anticipated guardrail repairs in FY 2027.
Adoption of FY 2027 - 2031 CIP
May 4, 2026
4. Annual Sewer System Improvements and Capacity Upgrades FY 2027 - 2031 (New Phase) - The Department of Public Works recommends increasing the FY 2027 recommended appropriation to this project from $4,250,000 to $5,250,000 in Sewer Fund. This additional appropriation will allow staff to expedite the televising and lining on this project. Work includes thorough cleaning of the sewer lines to eliminate debris and blockages, followed by closed- circuit television (CCTV) inspection to evaluate the structural and operational condition of the pipelines, and installation of a liner inside select sewer line segments.
5. East Side Storm Drain (76540) - The Department of Public Works recommends increasing the FY 2027 recommended appropriation to this project from $1,000,000 to $2,000,000 in Sewer Fund. This appropriation will fully fund Phase II of the project to address repairs of the East Side Storm Drain channel.
6. Installation of Shade Structures at Citywide Parks Athletic Field Seating Areas (New) - Staff recommends increasing the total estimated project cost from $600,000 to $900,000 based on estimates received. There are no recommended appropriations. This project will begin when funds are identified.
7. Artificial Turf Replacement - Robinson Park and Villa Parke (New) - Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department recommends increasing the FY 2027 recommended appropriation from $975,000 to $1,125,000 in Residential Impact Fees. This appropriation will fully fund the turf replacement at Villa Parke.
8. Water and Power Office Consolidation (3285) - The Department of Water and Power recommends removing the requested FY 2027 appropriation of $650,000 in Power Fund from this project and moving the funding to a higher priority project. The goal of this project is to identify and purchase an existing facility to centralize PWP staff and to achieve cost savings associated with ownership and office space consolidation of multiple leased facilities. This project will begin when funds are identified.
9. Installation of 4 MW Municipal-Owned Solar - The Department of Water and Power recommends appropriating $650,000 in Public Benefit Fund to begin this phase of the project. This program helps maintain affordable energy rates and ensures that the costs associated with transitioning to carbon free electricity are shared equitably among customers. The resulting energy and environmental benefits will feed directly into PWP's electric system, providing collective value to all PWP customers.
In addition, PWP combined the four Municipal-Owned Solar projects under one master project. This reduced the total number of active and new projects in the FY 2027 CIP by three. The Municipal-Owned Solar project is now priority number 5 with four subprojects in the Electric Systems section.
