# City Council Meeting - October 6, 2026

The City of San Clemente City Council meeting on October 6, 2026, included approval of the Strategic Implementation Program (SIP) for fiscal years 2026–27 and 2027–28 by a 5–0 vote. Public comments and council discussion focused on whether to advance digital wayfinding and historic-preservation work ahead of the 2028 Olympics and the city’s centennial. Staff said an updated historic resources survey is estimated to cost about $100,000–$200,000, with two related projects estimated at $20,000–$50,000 each; the SIP schedules the work for 2028–2030, while staff continues to monitor grant opportunities. Council discussed accelerating these items but did not make a specific amendment before adopting the SIP. The consent calendar was also approved.

The city manager read several contract items into the record: CJC Construction for Victoria sidewalk stabilization and safety maintenance ($35,000); a Historical Society MOU for maintenance and beautification along Avenida del Mar ($15,000); Griswold Industries, doing business as Cal-Val, for a pressure-reducing station pipe train and valve assembly (not to exceed $65,929.53); and The Code Group, doing business as VCA Code, for professional code-compliance consulting ($45,000). The transcript does not identify separate votes on these individual items. The council also approved, on second reading, an ordinance amending municipal building and construction enforcement regulations.
