City of Carson CA. Carson Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District (Tuesday 10/13/26 10AM)

At its October 13, 2026, meeting, the City of Carson Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District (EIFD) board considered changes to the Victoria Golf Course funding framework. The board approved an amendment to the EIFD financing plan, which retains the existing allocation of 20% of revenues for affordable housing, up to $10 million (40%) for the golf course, and 40% for other eligible EIFD activities. The amendment permits up to $500,000 for predevelopment work—including community engagement, planning, and feasibility studies—and clarifies that the remaining $9.5 million will not be committed until the city and county agree on a memorandum of agreement. Staff also presented a reimbursement agreement for up to $500,000 in eligible predevelopment costs and authorization for the executive director to execute necessary documents; a motion to approve was made and seconded, but the transcript does not clearly capture the vote result. Staff reported annual EIFD revenue of about $800,000 last year and approximately $1.3–$1.4 million in total available after administrative expenditures.

The board discussed establishing a more workable meeting schedule, favoring one meeting per month on the second Monday at 10 a.m.; staff was asked to bring back a schedule/bylaw update, while the current schedule could remain in place in the interim. No vendor was selected or procurement contract awarded. The financing-plan amendment and predevelopment reimbursement authorization may enable future consultant-supported planning and project evaluation for the golf course.
