Public works asks for funds to fix storm‑drain outfalls; commission finds CIP consistent with general plan
Summary
Public works presented a capital improvement program addition to repair storm‑drain outfalls identified in a citywide report; the planning commission found the FY 2025–26 CIP consistent with the general plan and approved the resolution unanimously.
Cupertino public‑works staff told the Planning Commission that a citywide outfall study identified 51 storm‑drain outfalls needing repair and asked for $950,000 to address the three highest‑priority outfalls this fiscal year. The commission adopted a resolution finding the Fiscal Year 2025–26 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) consistent with the city’s General Plan and voted unanimously.
Public‑works Director Chad Mosley and CIP manager Susan Michael presented the request, explaining that “outfall” refers to the visible portion of a storm drain where it discharges to a creek. The staff presentation described the 51 outfalls found in the study, explained the emergency repairs performed last year at the Stevens Creek/Calabasas outfall, and sought authorization to program funding for three high‑priority repairs this fiscal year while returning in subsequent years to address additional outfalls.
The commission took no changes to the proposed CIP and voted to find it consistent with the general plan. The item will proceed to the City Council as part of the city’s budget process.
