# Calabasas City Council Meeting October 28, 2026

The Calabasas City Council meeting on October 28, 2026, included substantial public comment on Southern California Edison’s multi-day Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS), including outages affecting electricity, communications, and traffic signals. Council members discussed coordinating with neighboring cities and the Council of Governments, advocating to state regulators and legislators, seeking circuit-by-circuit improvement plans, and examining backup power for traffic signals and communications infrastructure. Staff said it would assess traffic-signal backup needs and contact telecommunications providers; a further community meeting with Edison was also anticipated. No formal vote on the proposed PSPS advocacy measures was recorded. The council also received the Helen Putnam Award recognizing the city’s EPIC emergency-preparedness program.

The council unanimously approved resolutions authorizing an amendment to the city’s energy-savings performance contract with Willdan Energy Solutions and related financing documents. The approximately $8.78 million project includes about $2.5 million in city funds and roughly $6.28 million financed through Webster Bank at a fixed 4.89% rate for a term of just over 20 years. Work includes approximately 607 kW of solar across three sites, HVAC and roofing improvements, LED lighting upgrades, and EV chargers; the city expects about $1.37 million in federal tax credits and projected first-year utility savings of approximately $261,000. The consent calendar, including an open-space ordinance requiring four-fifths council approval for certain development, was also approved unanimously; agenda items 9 and 10 were continued to November 10.
