Spring Hearings Set on Housing Plan, Capital Budget, and Municipal Fees

The Pasadena City Council has scheduled a series of major public hearings for April and May, offering residents formal opportunities to weigh in on the city’s housing strategies, multi-year infrastructure investments, and municipal fee structures.

These upcoming sessions represent significant legislative milestones for the City of Pasadena, covering decisions that, if passed, would likely shape the city’s financial priorities and service delivery for years to come.

All hearings are scheduled to be held at 6:00 p.m. in the Council Chamber at Pasadena City Hall, 100 North Garfield Avenue, Room S249.

Public Housing Agency Annual Plan — April 13, 2026 The council will hold a public hearing on the approval of the Public Housing Agency Annual Plan for 2026, which must be submitted to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. This federally mandated document outlines the city’s strategies and policies for administering housing assistance programs. The hearing provides residents an opportunity to comment on the city’s affordable housing and rental assistance priorities before the plan is finalized and submitted to federal regulators.

Capital Improvement Program Budget — April 13, 2026 Also on April 13, the council will hear the Recommended Capital Improvement Program Component of the Proposed Budget for the City of Pasadena and the service areas of Pasadena Water and Power for Fiscal Years 2027 through 2031. This multi-year plan governs major infrastructure investments, including street repairs, utility upgrades, and park improvements. The hearing is the public’s primary opportunity to comment on the city’s capital spending priorities before the budget is formally adopted.

Schedule of Taxes, Fees, and Charges — May 18, 2026 On May 18, the council will consider amendments to the Schedule of Taxes, Fees, and Charges for Fiscal Year 2027. This annual review determines the rates residents and businesses will pay for various municipal services, permits, and administrative functions in the coming fiscal year. Changes to the fee schedule can affect everything from building permits to recreation program registrations.

The Pasadena City Council regularly meets at 6:00 p.m. on Monday, March 30, 2026, in the Council Chamber at Pasadena City Hall, 100 North Garfield Avenue, Room S249, Pasadena, CA 91101.
