City presents $169.4 million five-year CIP; council reviews priorities for FY2025–26
Summary
Public Works presented the draft five-year Capital Improvement Plan totaling about $169.4 million; staff asked council for direction on projects to include in the FY2025–26 budget document.
Public Works Director Dr. Arlington Rogers presented the City of Carson’s draft five-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for fiscal year 2025–26 during a council workshop on May 6.
Staff described a proposed CIP portfolio of approximately $169.4 million and 53 projects across categories including roadways (18 projects), parks (13), traffic (7), buildings (6), bikeways (4), stormwater (4) and a single technology project (broadband). Funding sources cited included general fund reserves, grants and special revenues, lease-revenue bonds and multiple transportation and grant programs.
Director Rogers highlighted projects already in construction, projects in design and ongoing maintenance programs. Staff said roadway and pavement programs would continue and that park projects included resurfacing courts, aerating fields and adding pickleball courts; lighting upgrades (Musco lighting) were planned for multiple parks. A technology project for citywide broadband (first phase) was included.
Councilmembers asked about sidewalks, park maintenance, specific facilities such as Stephenson Park and Del Amo Park, restroom and kitchen upgrades at community buildings, and signage and lighting at various park sites. Staff said sidewalks are handled in the operating budget and outlined a multi-year schedule to complete park work; they agreed to provide a parks-by-parks timeline and to follow up on specific site concerns.
The workshop did not require a formal vote; staff asked for council direction to finalize which projects will be included in the FY2025–26 budget document.
