2.b FISCAL YEAR 2025-26 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM - STUDY SESSION NO. 2 Fiscal Impact:
The fiscal impact will be determined with final adoption of the Fiscal Year 2025-26 CIP Budget.
Recommended Action: It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Receive and file the staff report and presentation; and
2. Provide direction to staff regarding the proposed fuel storage tank options; and
3. Provide direction to staff regarding allocation of Measure U funding. (Approved 4-1, to take no action on the underground storage tank (UST) project and approve Measure U funding for Scenario 2 street rehabilitation, Yamaguchi voted no) Public Works Director Tanio provided a summary from the February 18, 2025, Study Session, which included projected funding and critical projects. City Council directed Staff to allocate Measure U funds to the Golden Avenue Bridge and requested additional information on the UST project and street rehabilitation priorities.
Public Works Manager Samantha Byfield outlined options for removing underground fuel tanks, required by State law by Dec. 31, 2025 (penalties up to $5,000/day; removal cost $222,000). Off-site fueling would avoid $880,000 in capital costs but add about $72,000 annually and reduce reliability. Installing a new 10,000-gallon split tank at the City Yard offers bulk fuel savings, secure emergency supply, and long service life. Staff recommended removal and installation of new tanks at the yard, with off-site options as backup.
Deputy Public Works Director Gabriel Guerrero‑Gabany presented options for the FY 2024–25 streets project (construction in FY 2025–26), focusing on Priority Area 3. Full treatment would cost $8.7M.
Scenario 1 uses external funds (SB 1, Measure M) for a $2.6M budget, rehabilitating about 350,000 sq. ft.
Scenario 2 adds $2.3M in freed Measure U funds for a $5M budget, enabling 400,000 sq. ft. of slurry and 650,000 sq. ft. of rehabilitation (estimated $4.3M). Staff recommended adopting Scenario 2 and incorporating it into the FY 2025–26 CIP budget.
A discussion ensued, City Council directed Staff to return with a full cost, risk, and emergency‑reliability analysis before making a decision on the underground storage tank.
City Council questioned whether deferring other CIP projects (e.g., city facilities, fire station, police improvements, and sewers) would create near‑term public safety risks and asked about timing for specific streets such as Palm Drive. Staff indicated all listed projects were needed but none were immediate emergencies.
Motion by Wanke, seconded by Smith, approved by a 4-1 vote, to take no action on the UST project and approve Scenario 2 on the allocation of Measure U funds for street rehabilitation, Yamaguchi voted no.
