LCUSD Governing Board Special Joint Meeting with La Cañada City Council: October 27th @ 6pm

The La Cañada Flintridge City Council and La Cañada Unified School District Governing Board held a special joint meeting on October 27, 2026. The bodies amended and adopted a resolution revising the Cornish Corridor Joint Working Group structure: five at-large community members are to be appointed by the group’s voting members, and up to two honorary, non-voting positions may be appointed separately by the city mayor and LCUSD board president. The group also reported that it had received 31 applications for community membership and was reviewing candidates, with public interviews planned for November 13.

The main procurement item was approval to release an RFP for a phased Cornish Corridor feasibility study and implementation services. Phase one will assess feasibility, business considerations, legal and land-use constraints, property conditions, and potential rental revenue; later phases may cover concepts, design, and implementation. The RFP is not a budgeted item, and proposals will return for evaluation before any contract award; the agencies may reject bids, and bidders need not propose on every phase. The city will lead the solicitation through PlanetBids, with amendments addressing indemnification and insurance protections and clarifying that the study should consider residents and other community users. The motion to release the RFP passed. No contract award or spending amount was approved at this meeting.
