Summary
City staff reported completion of nine Level 2 EV chargers at Los Alamos Hills Sports Park, installation of LED tennis-court lighting at Cal Oaks Sports Park and an aquatics program success after relocation to Vista Murrieta High School, with participation up about 73% year over year.
City staff briefed the Murrieta City Council on multiple community projects and amenities during the Dec. 2 meeting, reporting recent completions and near-term upgrades.
Municipal Services Director Brian Crawford said nine Level 2 EV chargers on the ChargePoint network are now operational at Los Alamos Hills Sports Park; access requires the ChargePoint app and the current city rate is 22 cents per kilowatt-hour. He also reported new LED tennis-court lighting at Cal Oaks Sports Park that extends playable hours by roughly 13 hours per court and an imminent LED upgrade at the community-center courts scheduled for the week of Dec. 8.
Recreation Supervisor Victor Patino reported on the 2025 aquatics season after the closure of Kellogg Sports Park pool: services moved to Vista Murrieta High School in partnership with the school district and Swan Aquatics, and the program saw a 73% increase in monthly participation with more than 3,300 program visits. Staff said they will continue the partnership, pre-season coordination and enhanced marketing for the next season.
Council members thanked staff for the updates and had no further action; the items were provided as informational announcements.
