Paramount City Council Meeting November 10, 2026

The Paramount City Council meeting on November 10, 2026, included two significant spending-related items. The council approved Resolution 26042 to begin the Proposition 218 process for a proposed five-year water-rate schedule, with a public hearing set for February 23, 2027. The proposal calls for annual revenue adjustments of 11% beginning April 2027, phases out base-minimum water allotments over four years, and addresses approximately $6.8 million in planned water-system capital improvements over five years. The council also considered an agreement with Southern California Precision Concrete, Inc. for sidewalk inspection and maintenance services. The reported annual cost is approximately $62,000, funded in the current Public Works operating budget; the proposed term is two years with two optional two-year extensions. A motion to approve was made, but the available transcript ends before the vote or outcome is recorded.

Other business included an informational presentation on possible commercial drone deliveries connected to Walmart and Wing (an Alphabet company). No ordinance or vendor approval was taken; staff plans further outreach and council education before any future action. The council also postponed consideration of Ordinance 1223, concerning mobile-home-park rent stabilization, until December. The meeting included discussion of elevated hexavalent-chromium air-monitor readings and coordination with South Coast AQMD, but no related procurement action was identified.
