Council approves $3.7M facilities master‑plan update; asks for fuller Prop L reserve review
Summary
Staff said 12 of 15 FY25–26 projects are complete and proposed 21 FY26–27 projects costing roughly $3.7 million; council approved the updated facilities master plan and asked staff to return with a holistic Prop L reserve plan.
Public Works Director Chris Hary and operations manager Aldo Hernandez updated the council on the Citywide Facilities Master Program. Staff said the program — designed to address aging and deteriorating city facilities such as park restrooms, fire stations, and community centers — identified 15 projects for FY25–26 (12 complete, three pending) and proposed 21 additional FY26–27 projects.
Key priorities identified for the next fiscal year included lighting upgrades across multiple sites for energy efficiency, alarm and roof repairs at Moonlight and other facilities, and renovations to the JP Recreation Center. Staff estimated the total FY26–27 cost at approximately $3.7 million and recommended funding the projects using a mix of Proposition L funds and redevelopment reserve funds; staff noted that some elements are already in the capital program and that fiscal impacts will be incorporated into the FY26–27 midcycle update.
Council members asked for a clearer consolidated presentation of available Prop L reserves and how proposed uses align with long‑term capital planning rather than piecemeal spending. The city manager agreed to return in June with a fuller review of Prop L reserves and a holistic funding strategy.
The council approved the updated facilities master plan and project list unanimously.
Ending: Staff will return with Prop L reserve and capital‑planning detail; projects will be prioritized and incorporated into upcoming budget adjustments.
