Juan Rivera, interim director of asset management, presented a high‑level master plan for the 85‑acre Civitan Service Center that houses multiple city departments. The plan is intended as a strategic framework to manage limited space, improve security and modernize facilities over a 10–15 year horizon.
Rivera described crowding across departments, the need for additional warehouses for CCW and Parks & Recreation, improved parking and circulation, and opportunities to consolidate administrative space and add training and conference facilities. He highlighted specific near‑term projects already in CIP design for FY25–26, including public works administrative and operations improvements and animal‑care facility upgrades; he also said a proposed CCW warehouse is under consideration.
Council members praised the plan’s strategic value but pressed staff for more detail on funding sources, sequencing and costs. Council asked staff to produce a one‑stop CIP mapping that links each project to funding sources (bond, CO, revenue bonds) and a clearer timeline for capital budgeting. Staff said the master plan is the initial step and that more detailed funding and project packaging will be provided in the upcoming capital budget process.
Council additionally endorsed including resilience measures where feasible (security, stormwater planning, drought‑resilient landscape) and noted the need to prioritize projects given other city obligations such as street repairs and debt.
