# City of Upland

This City of Upland presentation, identified in the metadata as October 12, 2026, is primarily a 2025 State of the City update; the transcript does not record formal meeting deliberations or votes. Procurement- and budget-relevant topics included the ongoing $14 million Foothill Boulevard rehabilitation from Benson Avenue to Reading Way, covering pavement and sewer, water, and electrical infrastructure. Mayor Bill Velto identified Gentry Brothers as performing the work. The city also described a roughly $210 million backlog for streets, parking lots, and alleys, a streamlined capital improvement program, and plans to develop water, sewer, and facilities master plans to guide future projects and help secure grants.

The presentation reported more than $12 million in one-time funding for various projects and a pension-management strategy projected to save $67 million over 20 years. Upland has adopted biennial operating budgets and a three-year capital-project planning horizon, and said it will continue seeking outside funding. Other initiatives mentioned included planned downtown cameras and consideration of a police drone-first-responder program, but no procurement decision, contract award, motion, or spending approval for those initiatives was stated. The city also described business-assistance and façade programs and ongoing organic-waste collection; no specific vendor selection or new purchasing action was identified.
