Calabasas City Council Meeting - 6/24/2026

The City of Calabasas City Council held a meeting on June 24, 2026, which included several procurement and budget-related discussions. The council approved contracts for guardrail replacements funded by a Highway Safety Improvement Program grant and awarded landscaping and tree service contracts, noting concerns about contractor qualifications and contract amounts exceeding initial bids due to contingencies and emergency work provisions. The council reviewed and adopted the fiscal year 2026-2027 budget, addressing a projected $621,000 deficit to be covered by reserves, and discussed grant program funding and community event support. Additionally, the council authorized a pre-construction amendment for a solar energy infrastructure project, securing a $1.2 million federal tax credit by committing to a $526,671 equipment purchase before a July 4 deadline. The meeting also included a high-level discussion on potential additional freeway signage for auto dealerships, with council members favoring non-digital, multi-tenant monument signs and exploring coordination with Caltrans for freeway wayfinding signs. Finally, the council adopted a policy to comply with Senate Bill 707 regarding hybrid meeting disruptions. No votes opposed these procurement and budget actions, and several action items were set for future follow-up, including grant program guidelines and signage investigations.
