# Pasadena Finance Committee Meeting: October 13, 2026

The Pasadena Finance Committee met on October 13, 2026, and unanimously approved amendments to the FY2027 capital project and operating budgets. Discussion of capital work focused on $5 million for undergrounding on Raymond Avenue, bringing that project’s total cost to $21 million. Staff said work on Mountain Street is expected to begin in 2027, while the Public Works portion is anticipated around 2030 or 2031. Members also discussed sidewalk funding and coordination with the county on paving; no vendor selection or contract award was identified.

The committee also unanimously approved an operating-budget amendment that included $55,000 for the bad-weather shelter. Members discussed the kitchen’s food-service requirements: a councilmember raised concern about a proposed $300,000 upgrade, while Public Health clarified that it does not require that specific expenditure, but the facility must meet applicable state standards when serving the public. The committee unanimously approved the FY2026 general-fund emergency item after staff clarified that changing amounts reflect revenue collections rather than a change in policy. No RFPs, procurement awards, or vendors were mentioned.
