Planning Commission finds FY2025–26 Capital Improvement Program in conformity with general plan
Summary
The commission unanimously adopted a resolution finding the City of Cerritos’ proposed $23 million FY2025–26 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is in conformity with the Cerritos General Plan; staff described projects across facilities, parks, streets, water and sewer.
The Cerritos Planning Commission voted 5-0 to adopt a resolution finding the proposed City of Cerritos Capital Improvement Program for fiscal year 2025–26 in conformity with the Cerritos General Plan.
Assistant City Engineer Jared Lee presented the CIP overview and said the proposed program carries a budget of approximately $23,000,000 and spans categories including government buildings, parks and open space, sewer, streets and highways, traffic signals, and water improvements. Lee reviewed projects tied to General Plan elements — circulation, conservation, growth management, housing and open‑space recreation — and described individual items: an annual citywide LED conversion, accessibility and roof replacement work at the Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts (CCPA), a citywide facility condition assessment, Civic Center HVAC and interior improvements, library room upgrades, an asset management program, Del Amo Boulevard bridge replacement (design ongoing), annual playground resurfacing and refurbishment, sewer lift station rehabilitation, arterial and residential street rehabilitation, and multiple water and reclaimed‑water projects.
Lee explained several projects that will improve pedestrian and bicycle safety as part of larger street projects and noted the Del Amo bridge project includes signal interconnection and school corridor improvements. He described the asset management program as a citywide effort to catalog and plan maintenance of buildings, parks, and infrastructure to shift from reactive to proactive maintenance.
A single public comment was received on the CIP item. Vice Chair Reyes moved to adopt the resolution finding the CIP in conformity with the general plan; Commissioner Gaveri seconded. After activating electronic voting (brief technical difficulty), the commission proceeded with a roll‑call vote: Au, Chauhan, Jabari, Vice Chair Reyes and Chair Polito voted yes. The chair announced, "Motion passes by a vote of 5 to 0."
Why it matters: The commission’s finding is a statutorily required step under California Government Code procedures before the City Council adopts the CIP; staff emphasized projects addressing accessibility, safety, and deferred‑maintenance needs across city facilities and infrastructure.
