Costa Mesa adopts budget, closing gaps without cutting public works projects
After some last-minute reconfiguration, the Costa Mesa City Council Tuesday passed a 2025-26 budget that prevents the city from dipping into reserves and moves ahead with public works projects, but at the expense of some planned IT infrastructure upgrades. Officials had been grappling over how to compensate for projected revenue declines without violating a local ordinance mandating 5% of the city's $186.9-million general fund be set aside for capital improvements. Given its other expenses, namely employee salaries, the city could not cover the $9.3-million earmark for such improvements. The capital asset needs (CAN) requirement had been funded in prior years but was breached last month when city leaders needed to close a $2.9-million gap forecast for the current fiscal year, in the face of slumping sales tax receipts. Exercising an emergency exemption clause that includes unforeseen economic downturns, council members waived the mandate for 2024-25 but promised to pay back the money over the next five years. As the city headed into another daunting economic forecast for 2025-26, with a projected $3-million decrease in revenue, finance staff Tuesday recommended another CAN exemption during a council budget hearing. Finance Director Carol Molina explained a portion of the $9.3-million funding requirement could be covered by CAN balances left over from prior years ($2.2 million), lease revenue and money from a bond payment for a new fire station ($3.8 million) and an increase in city user fees ($300,000), approved earlier at Tuesday's meeting. The proposal would spare layoffs, but the remaining $3-million capital needs deficit would mean having to postpone nearly $1.8 million in public works projects earmarked for CAN funding, including upgrades to the city's TeWinkle and skate parks, a new roof at the Norma Hertzog Community Center and City Hall maintenance, among others. Addressing concerns provided by council members during earlier budget discussions, Molina floated three options for addressing the gap. The council could waive the $3 million in required funding through the CAN exemption, pay the full amount back over 10 years and not move forward with the $1.8 million in public works projects. If council members wished to keep the projects on track, they could alternately take $1.8 million from a general fund facilities reserve account, narrowing the CAN gap to $1.2 million, then pay that back over the next decade. Or, they could do essentially the same thing, but apply $1.2 million in slated IT infrastructure upgrades toward the leftover gap, then pay back the IT fund. Molina said using the IT money now would not harm the city's tech maintenance plans, as the department was in the process of developing a five-year strategic plan. 'There is technically no plan in 2025-26 for these dollars. As a result, I am OK moving forward with reallocating that $1.2 million,' she said. Council members debated the merit of postponing capital projects, particularly those already being designed or bid out to contractors, and potentially dipping into the city's reserves, which could tarnish Costa Mesa's AAA credit rating as the city seeks to use $12 million in bond funding for renovating Fire Station No. 2. Mayor John Stephens proposed continuing the budget talk to later in the month, saying he needed time to approve recently incoming information regarding the city's consultant contracts and employee positions and vacancies — areas that could potentially result in suggested cuts. But Councilmembers Arlis Reynolds and Andrea Marr supported moving forward with waiving the full $3 million CAN requirement now and possibly revisiting the budget, and the ordinance itself, during the city's mid-year review process next year. By that time, Reynolds reasoned, a facility condition assessment already in the pipeline would be completed and could provide new direction for prioritizing capital projects. 'Let's give ourselves some runway, get the assessment in and see what the economy looks like,' she said. 'I just think we're going to be a lot smarter at the mid-year than we are now.' However, Reynold's plan later shifted to an un-presented 'fourth alternative,' proposed by Molina. The finance director suggested the $1.2 million IT funding could be used, along with an additional $600,000 in leftover CAN balance money, to prevent taking $1.8 million from facility reserves. It would still leave the city $1.8 million short of the $9.3-million CAN ordinance requirement but would leave reserve funding in place, while preventing any interruption in public works projects. Reynolds made a motion, and Molina's fourth option was approved in a 6-1 vote, with Stephens opposed. In remarks, Marr said she'd like to revise the CAN ordinance mandate, potentially applying it to only hard infrastructure improvements and capital maintenance and not broader items, like the repayment of bonds. 'The idea that we've got a separate pot of money that is sacrosanct, that we won't touch because we're going to use it for infrastructure, that's actually not true — that's not how we're using the CAN,' Marr said, suggesting a narrowing of the law's scope. 'I'm OK with waiving it [now] because I think we can do better and we can continue to do it in a way that serves the original intent of why, I believe, the CAN was created.'

Sutter Health Breaks Ground on $442 Million Neuroscience Complex in San Francisco
SAN FRANCISCO, June 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Sutter Health today broke ground on the new Sutter Advanced Neuroscience Complex at Mission Bernal – a major milestone in expanding access to high-quality neurological and neurosurgical care in Northern California. The five-story, 129,000-square-foot facility will be located at the corner of César Chávez and Valencia streets (3555 César Chavez Street) in San Francisco and is expected to open in 2028. Designed as a regional destination for brain health, the complex will unite care delivery, advanced diagnostics and research in one location. 'Sutter Health has a bold vision for brain health, and that vision includes building a state-of-the-art advanced neuroscience complex in San Francisco,' said Sutter Health President and CEO Warner Thomas. 'CPMC has cared for this community since the 1850s, and we're proud to continue that legacy by investing in a destination for neurological care that will serve patients and families locally and across the region. Our mission drives us to deliver accessible, high-quality care that fuels innovation and expands access so that more people can benefit from the highest standards of neurological health closer to home.' 'San Francisco is leading the nation in providing cutting-edge health care, and this project will bring exceptional neurological care to the heart of our city and better health outcomes for our residents,' said Mayor Daniel Lurie. 'Thank you to Sutter Health for their commitment to our city, to our residents, and to the Mission District. Together, we're building stronger, healthier communities and strengthening San Francisco's comeback.' High-Tech Hub for Brain Health This $442 million investment underscores Sutter Health's long-term commitment to expanding access to specialized, high-acuity care in San Francisco and the broader Bay Area. When complete, the Sutter Advanced Neuroscience Complex at Mission Bernal will bring together approximately 80 physicians and clinicians across range of neurological specialties – including Alzheimer's disease and dementia, ALS, headache, neurosurgery, neurology, epilepsy, neuro-oncology and movement disorders – to deliver seamless, integrated care in one location. The new complex will house a full spectrum of services, including neurology, neurosurgery, imaging, lab, infusion, rehabilitation and an on-site ambulatory surgery center. Patients will also benefit from direct access to leading research and clinical trials, further supporting advancements in diagnosis and treatment. Two of Sutter's nationally recognized programs – the Ray Dolby Brain Health Center and the Forbes Norris MDA/ALS Research and Treatment Center – will relocate to the new complex, enabling greater capacity and deeper collaboration among specialists. The site will also include underground parking to improve convenience for patients and visitors. In a related investment, Sutter plans to add two neurological intervention suites to the adjacent CPMC Mission Bernal campus hospital by 2027. These suites will offer advanced imaging and enable rapid detection and minimally invasive treatment of life-threatening neurological conditions. 'Our goal is to provide coordinated, comprehensive access to integrated care that merges the expertise of neurologists and neurosurgeons,' said Dr. Lewis Leng, a neurosurgeon with Sutter West Bay Medical Group. 'The new Sutter Advanced Neuroscience Complex at Mission Bernal will create more access to care for patients with neurological conditions and provide them the opportunity to take advantage of Sutter's award-winning neuroscience treatment and clinical research.' Christina Oh, president of Sutter's Greater San Francisco Division, added, 'Patients will be able to come to this location and visit their specialist, receive diagnostic lab and imaging, as well as outpatient procedures all in one complex. Having all these services under one roof will create a more convenient, coordinated experience.' The Sutter Advanced Neuroscience Complex is part of Sutter Health's broader strategy to invest nearly $1 billion in healthcare infrastructure across San Francisco over the next five years. This initiative aims to significantly expand access to specialized medical care, such as Sutter's new Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery program, and enhance the overall patient experience. A Vision for Advanced Care and Clinical Training The Mission Bernal Care Complex is part of a larger effort by Sutter Health to address the growing healthcare needs of Northern California, with more than two dozen new facilities currently in development. Beyond expanding access, this complex reflects Sutter's strong commitment to education and workforce development, with plans to train over 1,000 medical residents and fellows by 2030. Sutter CPMC plays a key role in this effort, currently training residents and fellows in nationally accredited Graduate Medical Education programs across a wide range of specialties, including advanced heart failure and transplant cardiology, cardiovascular disease, internal medicine, gastroenterology, hand surgery, hematology-oncology, ophthalmology, pulmonary and critical care medicine, psychiatry and transplant hepatology. CPMC also offers additional training in neurocritical care, among other areas. 'This groundbreaking represents a pivotal moment in advancing Sutter Health's mission to provide high-quality, compassionate and innovative care,' said Ken McNeely, chair of the Sutter Health Board of Directors. 'It reflects our dedication to meeting the evolving healthcare needs of our community while preparing the next generation of physicians and care teams to carry that mission forward.'
