Calabasas City Council Meeting 1/16/26

The Calabasas City Council meeting on January 16, 2026, included a detailed crime report from the Lost Hills Sheriff Station, highlighting various incidents such as robbery, vehicle burglaries, and thefts. The council also discussed a significant amendment to the contract with the California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS), proposing a two-year additional service credit to encourage eligible city employees to retire early.

The council unanimously approved the resolution of intention and the first reading of the ordinance to amend the CalPERS contract. Additionally, updates were provided on community events, economic alliances, and ongoing litigation matters. The city manager reported on successful public works efforts during recent storms and the rollout of new agenda and financial management software, including a large RFP process underway for an unspecified project.
