Brentwood council reviews $323 million draft Capital Improvement Program, directs park timing changes
Summary
City staff presented the draft 2026–27 to 2030–31 Capital Improvement Program, including $323 million in proposed projects. Council directed staff to add a Heron Park restroom, adjust playground timing, and pursue options for new pickleball courts.
City staff presented the draft 2026–27 to 2030–31 Capital Improvement Program at a special workshop, laying out more than $323 million in proposed capital projects and seeking Council direction before returning the final CIP for adoption on May 26.
Accounting Manager Sonya Augustini told the Council the five‑year plan funds enterprise projects as the largest category and covers multi‑year projects that will be brought back annually for updates. The presentation reviewed recent accomplishments — the 2025 pavement management program (rehabilitating over 1 million square feet of roadway), completion of the Stonehaven Park playground replacement, a 600‑foot 12‑inch waterline on Kent Drive and upgrades to city facility audio‑visual systems — and described projects in design or construction, including smart signals, Lone Tree Way widening, and the Innovation Center at Brentwood infrastructure.
Engineering Manager Anju Pillai summarized several major upcoming initiatives: a countywide OBAG‑funded smart signals project to upgrade 15 traffic signals along Lone Tree Way and Brentwood Boulevard; the Lone Tree Way/Union Pacific at‑grade widening to add travel lanes, bicycle lanes, sidewalks and green infrastructure; and the Innovation Center at Brentwood utilities extension (projected completion October 2026).
Council members pressed staff on park timing and amenities during a lengthy Q&A. Members noted differences between the CIP slide schedule and dates in the meeting binder for several playground replacements and asked about restroom needs at Heron Park and the city’s shade program. Parks staff said the Parks & Recreation Commission had moved Lake Park earlier in response to resident attendance and work‑order history, and that shade structures are part of an existing but not always CIP‑funded program.
During deliberations, a Council member moved to accept the CIP update with three specific directions: add a Heron Park restroom project (no immediate date), revise the parks timing to align with the binder (move Walnut Park to FY26–27 and delay Lake Park), and pursue relocating pickleball courts from Creekside to the city‑owned land east of the treatment plant. The motion passed unanimously.
Next steps: staff will incorporate the Council’s direction into the final CIP for consideration at the May 26 meeting, provide cost estimates for restroom and shade options at identified parks, and return with follow‑up information on the pickleball site concept and funding options.
