Summary
The Pasadena City Council voted to amend final readings for Red Bluff Terrace Phase 1 and 2 work authorizations (fees set at $300,000 and $345,000) and approved several contract appropriations and grant applications, including a nearly $4 million WWTP sludge project appropriation.
The Pasadena City Council on Jan. 20 approved amendments to two final-reading ordinances for Red Bluff Terrace work authorizations and moved forward with multiple contract appropriations and grant applications.
Council members adopted an amendment to Ordinance 20260005 updating the title page and fee schedule for the Red Bluff Terrace Phase 2 work authorization, with the total fee remaining $300,000. A separate amendment to Ordinance 20260006 replaced the attachment for the Red Bluff Terrace Phase 1 work authorization, keeping the total fee at $345,000. Both amendments were seconded and carried after brief procedural motions.
The council also read several first-reading items and approved contract appropriations. The secretary read an ordinance authorizing a contract with JTR Constructors Inc. for the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) sludge dewatering systems improvement project (CIP WW098) with an appropriation of $3,985,380 to be funded from Harvey CDBG-DR/RRP accounts and the system fund account cited in the record. Council members discussed project timelines, and Mayor Pro Tem Van Howe and others said they expect the related projects to be completed within approximately 18 months.
Other approved items included an agreement with JC Stonewall Constructors LP for an animal shelter generator project (CIP M062) with an appropriation of $414,575 from the general CIP fund balance and contracts for demolition and reconstruction of single-family homes at specific addresses with appropriations recorded in the minutes. The council also approved an inspection-services agreement with an appropriation of $750,000 from system fund contingency and CIP funds and authorized the acquisition of property at 2815 Lilac Street with related closing costs not to exceed $345,557 from the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) mitigation account.
Those motions were passed during the final-reading and first-reading portions of the meeting after the council moved through routine confirmations. Mayor Pro Tem Van Howe presided over the finance items when the mayor turned over that portion of the meeting.
The council likewise approved resolutions accepting donations from Chevron ($10,000) and Occidental Chemical Company ($2,500) to support volunteer food drives, and authorized Pasadena Police Department grant applications to the Office of the Governor Criminal Justice Division for two grants (one for $81,340.98 and another for $100,000).
The approvals complete the council’s action on the listed ordinances and appropriations for this meeting; several first-reading ordinances were deferred as noted in the record.
