Council approves weed‑abatement liens, adopts five‑year CIP and initiates two annexations
Summary
In a joint session, the council voted unanimously to adopt a resolution imposing spring 2025 weed‑abatement liens (removing one invoice from the list), approved a five‑year capital improvement plan for FY2025–2030 and initiated proceedings to annex two new tracts into landscape and streetlight assessment districts.
The Loma Linda City Council unanimously approved several administrative actions at a joint meeting with the planning commission.
Weed abatement liens: Staff presented the spring 2025 weed‑abatement accounting and told the council an invoice (No. 25109) had been mailed to the wrong address; staff recommended removing that parcel from the lien list. The council voted to accept the spring 2025 weed‑abatement report, approve the accounting of costs and adopt Council Bill R‑2025‑23, a resolution establishing the statement of expenses and imposing liens for unpaid abatement costs. The transcript records the council’s action as "Motion carried unanimously." (staff recommended removal of invoice number 25109).
Five‑year CIP adopted: Council adopted Council Bill R‑20225‑18, approving the city’s five‑year Capital Improvement Plan for fiscal years 2025–26 through 2029–30. Staff presented a list of project categories and examples: fleet purchases (a planned skid‑steer loader listed at $155,000), park and recreation projects including additional pickleball courts at Linda Bailey Park, sewer and storm‑drain improvements informed by a recently completed sewer master plan, pavement rehabilitation schedules and water‑system upgrades. Council members asked about funding sources — development impact fees, sewer fees, the general fund and potential grants were discussed — and the motion passed unanimously.
Annexation proceedings: The council initiated annexation proceedings for two new subdivision tracts (tracks 20403 and 20404, identified in staff materials as Covenant Point and Haven at Covenant). The council adopted resolutions (Council Bills R‑20225‑27, R‑20225‑28 and R‑20225‑29) beginning proceedings under the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 and the Right to Vote on Taxes Act, and set public hearings for September 9, 2025. The motions carried unanimously.
Consent calendar and other procedural votes: Council approved the consent calendar after brief staff clarifications on two pulled items related to hardscape maintenance and fire‑department software. No individual roll‑call vote totals were provided in the transcript; multiple motions are recorded as carried "unanimously."
What’s next: The staff schedule shows the annexation hearings for Sept. 9, 2025; other CIP and capital work will proceed through budget allocations and grant pursuit noted in staff presentations.
