The City Council meeting of Cerritos on July 27, 2026, included several procurement and budget-related discussions. The council approved a $153,800 change order for the C4 well redesign and water treatment project to address long-term deterioration and improve water production capacity, with an estimated two-year construction timeline. They also discussed a significant retail development project involving the transformation of the former Sears building into a 142,000 square foot Dick's House of Sports store, with plans to open by spring 2028. Additionally, the council considered a reserved parking program for veterans at city facilities, approving the installation of signage at eight locations with a budget of $2,654.20. A curb address painting program was proposed to be outsourced to third-party providers on a voluntary donation basis, with fees for permits and business licenses discussed. Lastly, the council reviewed the financial sustainability of the Ironwood 9 golf course, which operates at a loss, and directed staff to study potential rate adjustments and operational efficiencies rather than outsourcing its management. Public comments addressed various community concerns, including budget priorities and public safety.
