City Council reviewed the proposed Seven-Year CIP at a budget workshop held on June 6, 2023. At the meeting, staff provided an overview of the CIP and discussed funding sources for the proposed Fiscal Year 2023-24 & 2024-25 projects. As a final step, this item is now being presented to City Council for adoption. Before adopting the CIP can be considered, a public hearing is required to allow the community to provide input on the proposed Seven-Year CIP. After the public hearing, the City Council may consider adopting the attached CIP Resolution. The CIP Resolution formally adopts the Seven-Year CIP and appropriates funding for the first two years of the Seven-Year CIP.
The Seven-Year CIP is divided into several categories: Street Improvements, Storm Drain Improvements, Traffic Safety Enhancements, Water Improvements, Sewer Improvements, Facility Improvements, and Golf Course Improvements. There are 36 projects proposed for funding in the FY 2023-2025 Biennial CIP Budget. A detail sheet has been prepared for each proposed project included within the Seven-Year CIP that contains a description of the project, the amount of funding required, and the source of funds. The following are highlights of the FY 2023-2025 Biennial CIP:
Street Improvements
The projects included in this section of the proposed CIP Budget continue emphasizing street pavement rehabilitation per the City's Pavement Management Plan (PMP). The PMP is updated every two (2) years for arterial roads and every six (6) years for local roads, as the Orange County Transportation Authority requires. Work continues on designing and constructing several large street/roadway improvement projects that are being carried forward from the current fiscal year. Some examples of this include Central Avenue & State College Street Improvements (CIP 7327) being in design, and SR-57 Freeway/Lambert Road Interchange (CIP 7251) and Country Hills Subdivision Pavement/Water Rehabilitation (CIP 7322) being currently in construction. Requested appropriations for the FY23-25 7-year CIP include funding for our annual Traffic Calming Improvements (CIP 7219) and Citywide Sidewalk Replacement (CIP 7313) projects; design and construction budget for Central Avenue & State College Street Improvements (CIP 7327); and construction budget for Walnut Way Street Improvements (CIP 7326), Brea Boulevard Street Improvements (CIP 7299), and the Birch Street Improvements S. Associated to Valencia (CIP 7329).
Storm Drain Improvements
Fiscal Year 22-23 saw the completion of construction for the eastern component of the project and the progression of design for the western component of Tracks Segment 3 Drainage Repairs (CIP 7952). Requested appropriations for the FY23-25 7-year CIP include design and construction phase funding for the Tracks Segment 3 Drainage Repairs (CIP 7952).
Traffic Safety Enhancements
In conjunction with Street Improvement projects, the projects included within the Traffic Safety Enhancements section of the proposed CIP Budget improve the driving experience in Brea by easing congestion and improving traffic flow. The Cliffwood Neighborhood Traffic Calming Improvements project (CIP 7717) has completed the design phase for proposed improvements to three signalized intersections at Cliffwood/Lambert, Cliffwood/State College, and Balsa/State College and is moving into construction. Requested appropriations for the FY23-25 7-year CIP include an additional construction phase budget for the Lambert Road Traffic Signal Synchronization project (CIP 7716) and the Cliffwood Neighborhood Traffic Calming Improvements project (CIP 7717) and funding for the Transportation Improvement Nexus Program Update (CIP 7718).
Water Improvements
A significant focus of the proposed CIP Budget is the proposed improvements to the City's water infrastructure. The Enterprise Tract Water Improvements (CIP 7462), Candlewood Tract Water Main Replacement (CIP 7465), and Lotus Place Water Line Improvements (CIP 7479) are currently in the design phase. The Ring Road at Berry Street Reservoir is moving into construction, while the second phase of Country Hills Waterline Improvements (CIP 7322) is actively in construction. Requested appropriations for the FY23-25 7-year CIP include design and construction phase funding for Candlewood Tract Water Main Replacement (CIP 7465), the N. Associated Road New High-Pressure Water Line (CIP 7476), Olinda Village Water Line Improvements (CIP 7482), and Rehabilitate Ring Road At Berry Street Reservoir (CIP 7965).
Sewer Improvements
Another focus area of the proposed FY 2023-25 CIP Budget is the proposed improvements to the City's sanitary sewer infrastructure. The Brea Creek Siphon S-2 Analysis (CIP 7633) is currently in the design development phase, and the Walling Ave Sewer Capacity Improvements (CIP 7630) and Briarwood Lift Station Replacement (CIP 7631) are currently in the design phase.

Facility Improvements
Work continues on the design of several significant projects from FY 2022-23. Adjacent to the recently completed Skate Park, the Arovista Park Modernization Project (CIP 7978) is progressing in designing the proposed park improvements on both sides of Brea Creek. Design is also continuing for the Tamarack Parking Lot Asphalt Rehabilitation (CIP 7956). Requested appropriations for the FY23-25 7-year CIP include construction phase funding for Tamarack Parking Lot Asphalt Rehabilitation (CIP 7956), Western Park Restroom Upgrades (CIP 7987), and the Veterans Memorial Hardscape Improvements (CIP 7989).

In Fiscal Year 22-23, the restroom renovation was completed. The Cart Path, Landscaping Improvements at Birch Hills Golf Course (CIP 7968), and the Clubhouse Restroom and Bridge Improvements at Brea Creek Golf Course (CIP 7969) are currently in design.
In conclusion, with continued prudent fiscal management and project coordination, Brea’s Fiscal Year 2023-2025 Biennial CIP will support a variety of projects to sustain our infrastructure quality, as well as continue the goals of enhancing the quality of life in the community, ensuring a safe environment, and promoting transportation improvements in the City.
