Council adopts five‑year CIP listing 36 projects, about $39 million in needs

City engineering presented the five‑year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) covering fiscal years 2026–27 through 2030–31 and asked the council to find the CIP in conformance with the general plan. Jordan Santos said the draft includes 36 projects approximating $39 million in total, funded through development impact fees (AB 1600), enterprise funds, grants, SB1 road funds and the general fund where appropriate.

Santos highlighted four projects newly added to the CIP this year: the final phase of downtown streetscape improvements, a Northwest Park shade structure, Hall Park barbecue/shade renovations, and a Northwest Park agricultural well to supplement water supply. He explained that year‑one projects are funded in the current adopted budget and later years are funded by rates, fees or grants as available. The council adopted the CIP by roll call vote.
