The Newport Beach City Council this week got a preview of the projects that could come through the pipeline when they set next fiscal year’s budget.
During a study session held Tuesday, city staff presented a short list of projects that could be considered for 2021-22. Projects are selected through a review of the facility finance plan, facility maintenance and management plan, pavement management plan, water master plan and the sewer master plan.
Deputy public works director Jim Houlihan said in his presentation that city staff is proposing a capital improvement program budget of $69.8 million. About $30.6 million of that will involve new funding while $39.2 million will be re-budgeted, although that number is expected to drop in coming months.
The new structure on the corner of 28th Street and Newport Boulevard will replace the Lido Fire Station No. 2 on 32nd Street and provide better access to more residential areas.
