What’s on the posted agenda
This is the September 1 Granicus agenda, not a recap of a meeting that has already happened.
Closed session lists two items: anticipated litigation, significant exposure (1 case); and existing litigation named as *Onterris Response and Recovery, LLC, et al. v. City of Tustin et al.* (case numbers are on the agenda). Comment on closed-session items is allowed in writing, in person, or via Zoom, the agenda says.
Regular meeting opens with invocation (Jeff Carr, Tustin Church of Christ), pledge by Mayor Austin Lumbard, then presentations (Tustin Girls Softball; Dolly Parton Imagination Library). General public input is for matters not on the agenda, then a closed-session report.
Consent, items 1–10 (city text: routine, one motion unless pulled). That list includes minutes of August 4 and an August 18 special meeting; payroll and demands (city-stated $1,312,280.52 and $1,358,872.64 payroll, $8,997,898.70 demands); updated Personnel Rules (Resolution 26-52, city-stated fiscal impact: none); accepting the Camino Real picnic shelter and Neighborhood D South infrastructure and filing notices of completion; a CMAS contract with The KYA Group, not-to-exceed $974,949.78; a TPD–TUSD camera MOU; advancing seven proposals on ±44 acres at Tustin Legacy; and first reading of Ordinance 1582, with adoption scheduled on the agenda for September 15.
Public hearing, item 11: Clearwater at Tustin Legacy — design review, density bonus, CUP, map, and first reading of a development agreement.
Why it might matter
Readings of what the city posted, not how anyone will vote.
1. Clearwater senior living is the hearing (item 11). Staff describes a senior community on a vacant 6.14-acre, city-owned site at Warner and Armstrong (Neighborhood D South). City-stated program: 172 independent/active-adult units (26 affordable to Lower Income households) plus about 143,000 square feet of assisted living and memory care (103 units / 134 beds). Applicant in the staff report: Confluent Development / CD-CW (Tustin) LLC. Council is asked to adopt Resolution 26-43 and introduce Ordinance 1580 (Development Agreement 2025-0001). City-stated fiscal note: no fiscal impact from those actions; sale-related dollars would come later on a Disposition and Development Agreement not part of this request. Staff says Planning Commission recommended approval August 11, 2026 (four yes, none no, one absent) and anticipates about 24 months of construction starting spring 2027.
2. ±44 acres at Legacy: seven of 24 offers to Round Two (item 9). Staff says an ad-hoc of Mayor Lumbard and Council Member Gallagher recommends seven proposers advance. City-stated: 24 offers by July 16, 2026; broker Cushman & Wakefield. Staff also wants authority to cut the list further. City-stated fiscal impact: none. Staff writes Round Two is not developer selection.
3. Limited TPD access to selected TUSD cameras (item 8). Chief Sean Thuilliez asks council to receive and file an MOU for Fusus access to selected existing district cameras in emergencies (including a 911 call, or clear-and-present danger of serious injury or serious property damage). Staff: the district keeps ownership and “may discontinue sharing at any time.” City-stated receive-and-file fiscal impact: none. Term in the report: three years unless ended earlier.
4. Gym and Senior Center work (item 7). Consent would award The KYA Group $974,949.78 not-to-exceed, via CMAS — gym floor and motorized bleachers; Senior Center dance floor / LVT. City-stated budget: $975,000 in the FY 2026–27 CIP.
5. Camino Real picnic shelter — close the file (item 5). Staff asks to accept Phase 2 and record a notice of completion. City-stated: November 4, 2025 appropriation of $1,000,000 (CIP 20096); Phase 1 playground $486,979.04; Phase 2 picnic shelter $478,385.99; total $965,365.03.
How to comment
Consent items can be pulled if you file a request to speak, the agenda says.
In the room: Request to Speak with the City Clerk. Zoom/phone: the city’s public input instructions ask for that form in advance, using the screen name or number you will join with. Public speaker video is not enabled, the sheet says. Written: the Sept. 1 calendar listing says to use the city’s SpeakUp site. Comments on matters not on the agenda only until that portion of the meeting ends.
