City Council - Regular Meeting - October 28, 2026 5:30 PM

The Cathedral City City Council regular meeting was held October 28, 2026. The council approved the consent agenda, including Proposition 64 grant authorizations to purchase forensic and crime-scene lighting and cellphone analysis/unlocking software, and authorization to purchase Axon Enterprise Taser devices for the Police Department. No purchase amounts were stated. The council also received preliminary FY 2025–26 financial results showing a general fund surplus of more than $2 million and reserves exceeding $41 million (53% of the following year’s budget), and approved carryforwards, including approximately $81,000 for a DRD pool invoice. The finance presentation cautioned that one-time storm-related reimbursements contributed to the surplus.

The council approved the Foothill Cove Planned Unit Development and tentative tract map for 75 townhomes, with revised development conditions and standards; this was a land-use approval rather than a city contract award. It also adopted a legislative and intergovernmental relations policy authorizing staff to respond to qualifying legislative, grant, and funding requests consistent with an annual council platform, with significant or sensitive matters returning to the council. No competitive bids or contract awards were identified.
