Temple City unveils proposed $2.48 million FY2026 capital improvements budget
Summary
Staff laid out a proposed $2,479,500 capital improvements budget for FY2026 covering administration IT upgrades, senior center appliances, public safety equipment, sewer upgrades and economic development projects; no public comments were offered at the hearing.
Temple City staff presented the proposed fiscal year 2026 capital improvements budget, describing project lists and funding sources and noting that the city council will adopt the capital budget by ordinance following a second hearing on Dec. 1.
The presenter cited Article 6, section 6-20 of the Temple City Charter, which requires a proposed capital improvements plan at least 60 days before the fiscal year begins. Staff said the proposed FY2026 capital improvements budget totals $2,479,500 and identified funding from the general fund, the water fund and other sources referenced in the record (labels transcribed as "SPLAS 21" and "blue line"); those funding-source labels are ambiguous in the transcript and should be verified with staff.
Planned capital expenditures read into the record included: an administration server ($35,000) and a software transition ($79,000) for an administration total of $114,000; senior center improvements (approximately $70,000, including kitchen appliances); continuing parking-lot improvement projects for which an RFP has been issued; public works equipment and water infrastructure projects; public safety equipment and vehicle replacements (stated as $234,500); sewer system upgrades, including filter/cloth replacement, force main work and pump station upgrades (stated total $540,000); and economic development projects including beautification and community development office space ($320,000). The presenter stated these departmental totals add to the $2,479,500 capital total.
Staff invited public comment on the capital budget; none was offered at this hearing. The capital budget is expected to be considered for adoption by ordinance at a subsequent council meeting after the Dec. 1 follow-up hearing.
