3 issues in taxes budget with high priority
Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program Funding
The Council is scheduled to consider a $338,727 budget amendment to keep the Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program going using federal CDBG funds. That program helps La Mirada homeowners pay for repairs to their homes.
Fiscal Year 2026-27 City Budget
The council approved $3.25 million in warrants, a $148,408 landscape maintenance contract amendment with BrightView, and accepted the completed Behringer Park turf renovation — routine money moves that keep streets, parks, and city operations running.
CDBG Grant Program Participation (2027–2030)
The council locked in La Mirada's spot in the county's federal Community Development Block Grant program for another three-year cycle. That funding backs the city's home improvement assistance program and senior services. Without the agreement, those programs would lose federal support.
