Council to consider park and animal shelter enhancements and more Nov. 11

The City Council on Tuesday, November 11 will consider upgrades at three City parks, enhancements at the animal shelter and receive an update regarding the City's financial performance.

The business portion of the meeting starts at 6 pm in the Council Chamber at 200 Civic Center.

To improve three City parks for the community, the City Council will consider awarding a contract to replace the rubberized surfacing on the playgrounds at Granada Park, Bart Spendlove Park and Valyermo Park. Due to steady use, the play surfacing at the popular parks has become weathered and cracked.

Council will also consider purchasing equipment for the Mission Viejo Animal Services Center that includes an electric cart and three outdoor shade structures to cover the exercise and adoption areas. The funding source is derived from accumulated donation revenues and will benefit the center and its animals while they wait for forever homes.

In addition, Council Members will receive a report about the City's financial performance for Fiscal Year 2024/25. Following that, Council will discuss potentially updating reserve target levels and allocating available one-time General Fund resources to various operating programs and capital projects.

Meetings are streamed live on the City's website and air on Cox Channel 30 and AT&T U-Verse Channel 99. Residents are encouraged to sign up for the City's eNewsletter and follow the City's official social media sites for the most accurate, up-to-date information.
