SHERIFF’S SERVICES
Program Purpose
The City contracts law enforcement services through the Los Angeles County Sheriff ’s Department. The purpose of the Sheriff ’s Service program is to provide Santa Clarita’s residents with law enforcement, traffic enforcement,
crime prevention, and a variety of specialized public safety services.

Primary Activities
The primary activities of the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff ’s Station include round-the-clock neighborhood patrol,
traffic enforcement, detective functions, Crime Prevention Unit (CPU), helicopter patrol, Juvenile Intervention Team, special investigations, parking enforcement, community
policing services, and supplemental service during special City events. One of the ways the Public Safety division maintains Santa Clarita’s position as one of the safest cities of its size in the nation is through the CPU. The CPU develops long-lasting relationships with the communities it serves and acts as community engagement ambassadors for the
Sheriff ’s Station. The J-Team combats gang-related and juvenile crimes and drug use with implemented intervention programs and informational workshops, such as the Drug
Free Y outh in the Santa Clarita program. This division continues to increase resident safety and awareness through ongoing community outreach programs and events.

FIRE PROTECTION
Program Purpose
The purpose of this program is to provide fire prevention, protection, and suppression within City boundaries.

Primary Activities
The Fire Protection program responds to various
emergencies, provides fire prevention and public
education programs, and responds to public and City
assistance calls. Fire protection and prevention services are provided to the City by means of the wildfire
protection district. Costs associated with services are deducted from property taxes prior to distribution to the City. The appropriated budget is the cost for services in an area within the City but not within the district. Given this amount is not paid through property taxes, the City must remit fees directly.

Capital Improvement Program

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Budget is a decision-making tool that provides the City Council, staff, and residents with an opportunity to identify and prioritize significant infrastructure needs for the community.

Santa Clarita’s CIP budget is a component of the annual budget process that addresses the City’s short-term and long- term capital needs. The CIP budget includes potential capital projects that reflect the desires of the community, as well as projects that address operational and maintenance needs.

As the budget process unfolds, the City Engineer analyzes each potential project in order to develop cost estimates for each project, while the City Treasurer reviews the City’s financial position in order to determine potential revenues available to fund proposed projects. Once the fiscal analysis is completed by the City Treasurer, the Budget Review Team meets for further discussion and review of the proposed projects. Subsequent to these initial recommendations, staff forwards the recommended CIP Budget to the City Manager for presentation to the City Council for their review, consideration, and approval.

Throughout this entire process, several key factors are utilized in prioritizing projects including:
• Relation to goals and other significant development and/or planning efforts. • Projects previously budgeted in the City’s Capital Improvement Program. • Projects that reduce ongoing operational costs.
• Projects that have committed outside grant funds that are specifically tied to a particular proposal.

The City of Santa Clarita finances its capital projects through a combination of revenues. The proposed resources that will be used to support the Fiscal Y ear Budget are outlined in the CIP Summaries section of this document.

The proposed CIP budget consists of improvements and projects distributed among the following project categories:
• Beautification & Landscaping $230,000
• Circulation 1,193,000
• Facilities & Buildings 32,256,647
• Maintenance 22,479,000
• Parks 38,216,000
• Resource Mgmt. and Conservation 786,000
• Streets and Bridges 1,380,081
• Trails and Transit 192,000

Magic Mountain Parkway
between Tourney Road
Avignon Drive
This project will construct Phase I of the beautification improvements along Magic Mountain Parkway between Tourney Road and Avignon Drive. Identified improvements for Phase 1 include continuation of landscaped median along the length of the project, edge curb and gutter, and overlay for a six-lane roadway on Magic Mountain Parkway (to McBean Parkway). Phase II of the project will include sidewalks, parkway landscape and irrigation, a Class I Bike Lane, lodge pole fencing, and street lighting.

This project supports the Santa Clarita Pathway Forward theme of Environmental Conservation and Beautification. This final segment of roadway between Tourney Road and Avignon Drive will complete the needed improvements for Magic Mountain Parkway in Santa Clarita.

This project will replace sixteen existing cameras at nine railroad crossing locations that have reached the end of their operational life. To minimize camera failures and maintain system reliability, this project will install new cameras utilizing the latest technology with expanded viewing range and improved image quality. These upgrades will enhance monitoring coverage at signalized intersections with intersecting railroad crossings to improve situational awareness.

Upgrading the City’s existing cameras at railroad crossing locations is essential to improve monitoring, documentation, and City response to train-related incidents. Current camera units have reached their operational life and diminished resolution has hindered the City’s ability to accurately assess conditions before, during, and after an incident. New cameras will provide higher-quality video, improved night-time visibility, and expanded coverage areas. These upgrades will significantly enhance the ability of Traffic Engineering, Sheriff's Department, and other public safety agencies to investigate collisions and other incidents. This project supports the Santa Clarita Pathway Forward theme of Sustainable Public Infrastructure.

The City of Santa Clarita currently utilizes 80 blank-out signs at various intersections to improve pedestrian safety and enhance motorist awareness. The blank-out signs have reached the end of their useful operational life and need to be replaced. To minimize sign failures and maintain system reliability, the program will be implemented in five phases, starting with Phase I, to replace the outdated signs to new electronic matrix signs.

Blank-out signs address several safety concerns such as right-of-way violations at intersections with dual right-turn lanes, vehicle-train conflict risks near railroad crossings, turn restrictions, and increased driver awareness at high-use pedestrian crossings. Over the years, these installations have significantly improved driver compliance and contributed to safer intersection operations. Many of the existing blank-out signs have been in service for more than 15 years and are now experiencing operational failures due to age, weather exposure, and outdated technology. Upgrading these signs is essential to maintain the safety benefits they provide and support the City’s ongoing commitment to safer, more efficient intersections. This project supports the Santa Clarita Pathway Forward theme of Sustainable Public Infrastructure.

The parking structure will expand public parking capacity, support the economic vitality of Main Street, and improve parking access for nearby residents and businesses while preserving the district’s walkable character. This project supports the Santa Clarita Pathway Forward theme of Sustainable Public Infrastructure.

The existing building was originally constructed in 1963. After several renovations and additions from 1980 to 2007, the building has fallen into substantial disrepair. The City acquired Hart Park in 2025 and the building within it. The total footprint of the building is 11,460 square feet and includes 46 parking spaces.

Fremer Associates prepared an investigative report to evaluate the current condition, and found a large number of physical issues regarding roofing, waterproofing, site drainage, environmental, ADA, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing. After consideration of the cost to bring the building up to code while repairing the many problems, it has been decided to demolish the building and site improvements, along with two office trailers, while protecting the existing oak trees in place. A temporary parking lot will replace the existing building.

The building is in substantial disrepair and would need a significant cost to bring the building to the City's standard. This project supports the Santa Clarita Pathway Forward theme of Sustainable Public Infrastructure.
