City Council to Weigh Major Infrastructure and Legislative Investments on Monday

The Pasadena City Council will convene for a regular meeting on July 14 and consider several major infrastructure and policy initiatives, with a particularly notable $40.9 million power cable replacement project in the agenda.

The item involves authorizing a contract with Anixter, Inc. for cables to replace power subtransmission lines between Santa Anita and Glenarm receiving stations. The project, valued at $40,952,000, represents a major investment in the city’s electrical infrastructure, with the contract allowing for up to two years of work.

The council is also scheduled to evaluate proposed amendments to the city’s transportation impact fee structure. The proposed ordinance would update fees for various land use categories, including residential, industrial, retail, and office spaces. New fee categories would be introduced for medical offices, hospitals, lodging, and research and development facilities.

Additional important agenda items include:

• Renewing the Old Pasadena Management District Property-Based Business Improvement District for a 10-year period at an annual cost of $669,050
• Authorizing contracts for heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning services
• Supporting two state legislative bills (Senate Bill 627 and Senate Bill 805) related to law enforcement and criminal justice
• Approving municipal appointments to various city commissions, including new appointments to the Senior Commission, Human Services Commission, and Urban Forestry Advisory Committee

The meeting will be held in the City Council Chamber at Pasadena City Hall, 100 North Garfield Avenue, Room S249. The closed session begins at 5 p.m., with the public meeting starting at 6 p.m.
