City of El Cajon City Council - 4/28/2026

The El Cajon City Council held a special and regular meeting on April 28, 2026, addressing several community and administrative matters. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval of a resolution to update the SANDAG Regional Transportation Congestion Improvement Program fee, increasing it to $3,109.88 per new single-family dwelling unit to fund street improvement projects. The council also authorized the city manager to support the formation of a new downtown Community Benefit District (CBD), which will replace the expiring Property-Based Improvement District (PBID) to enhance downtown economic development and capital improvements. Additionally, the council introduced an ordinance to regulate e-bikes and motorized scooters in city parks to prevent damage and enhance safety. In closed session, the council voted 3-2 to initiate litigation and subsequently approved hiring special counsel for the case, with no fiscal impact to the city. No direct contract awards or vendor selections were reported, but the discussions on the CBD and transportation fees indicate ongoing procurement and capital improvement activities.
