City of Upland

The City of Upland City Council meeting was held October 26, 2026. The council received a presentation recognizing $2.685 million in California state funding secured with Senator Eloise Reyes for three city projects: Bodenheimer Neighborhood Park, Cabrillo Park, and Upland Public Library modernization. The mayor cited $1.2 million for the two park projects; the library amount was garbled in the transcript. The funding supports park improvements and library upgrades, but the presentation did not include a contract award or purchasing decision. A council committee report also noted a proposed $4 million regional Housing Trust budget and updated guidelines for awarding housing grants; no council action on that budget was reported.

The council unanimously approved the consent calendar, introduced an ordinance changing the land-use designation for the privately owned former City Hall property at 177 East D Street to allow a broader range of office and commercial uses, and introduced an ordinance establishing objective design standards for multifamily housing. It also unanimously ratified the San Bernardino County Fire Protection District’s fire-code ordinance, including provisions for fire-safety permits and a higher maximum penalty for dangerous-fireworks violations. No RFPs, vendor selections, or contract awards were identified in the meeting.
