Even as the Beverly Hills City Council grappled with the economic impact of COVID-19 in its Aug. 18 City Council Meeting, it approved a Capital Improvement Plan of $73.8 million – an increase of roughly $5 million from the year before. The figure, which includes last minute COVID-19 related reductions, contains $15 million already earmarked for the Rodeo Station of the Metro Purple Line.
“If you netted that out, you’re really only appropriating about $58.8 million in new sources,” said Budget Revenue Officer Don Harrison.
