City Council approves Toro Enterprises' use of C Street site for pavement project

The Fillmore City Council meeting on April 8, 2025, focused on key infrastructure developments and agreements related to ongoing construction projects in the city. The primary discussion revolved around a license agreement with Toro Enterprise Inc. for the use of city property at the southern end of C Street. This agreement will facilitate the staging of materials and equipment necessary for the city's pavement preservation project, which includes concrete work and asphalt paving scheduled for later this month.

City officials confirmed that the agreement allows Toro Enterprise to utilize the old abandoned sewer plant site, ensuring that the area will be restored to its original condition upon project completion. The license agreement is set to expire on June 30, 2025, by which time the street work is expected to be finished. Council members clarified that the construction activities would not impact the adjacent bike path, as only a portion of the site will be used.

In addition to the license agreement, the council addressed bond exoneration related to the Heritage Valley Park's specific plan area. This involves the gated communities in the area, which have private streets and landscaping. The council noted that while public utilities have been accepted and previous bonds exonerated, there are still outstanding bonds for private improvements that will be reviewed in future meetings.

The council's decisions reflect ongoing efforts to enhance local infrastructure while ensuring minimal disruption to residents and public spaces. Further updates on these projects are anticipated in upcoming meetings.
