Tustin agendas: $110 million Chatham Village bond hearing, well and street contracts, senior housing land sale
Tustin's City Council agenda for Oct. 17 carries the largest dollar figure in the past two weeks of city meetings: a public hearing on bonds of up to $110,000,000 for Chatham Village Apartments at 16331 McFadden Avenue. Minutes have not been published for any of the six meetings summarized here, so this roundup describes what was scheduled for discussion and decision — not what was actually approved.
Chatham Village bond hearing
The Oct. 17 council agenda lists a public hearing on conduit financing for the Chatham Village Apartments, a multifamily rental housing project at 16331 McFadden Avenue, in an amount up to $110,000,000. The agenda describes the item as conduit financing; no further terms appear in the record provided.
Construction contracts and park roofs
The same Oct. 17 agenda lists four spending items:

Planning Commission: cancelled meeting, walking tour, subdivision hearing
The regular Planning Commission meeting scheduled for Oct. 13, 2026, was cancelled, according to the record. In its place the commission scheduled an Oct. 8 special meeting consisting of a walking tour of The Colonnade Apartments at 3000 Marketplace, Irvine, CA.
A separate Oct. 13 entry lists a public hearing on SUB 2025-0009/TPM 2025-168, a proposal to subdivide a 13.56-acre parcel at 1100 Valencia & 1101 Bell Avenues, along with a 2026 Mid-Year in Review report from the Community Development Department and approval of August 25, 2026 meeting minutes. That entry is labeled "Rosie Test" in the record provided, while its contents describe Planning Commission business; the labeling could not be verified from the material supplied.
Community Services and Public Art
Two commissions met Oct. 15. The Community Services Commission was scheduled to review the Sunset Market, Tustin Tiller Days and Bark or Treat events, and to approve participation in the 2026 Halloween Howl and the 2026 Veterans Day Celebration & Car Show. It was also set to receive a summary of the September 16, 2026 Parks and Facilities Tour and commissioner reports on visits to city parks.
The Public Art Commission was scheduled to consider donating a micro gallery structure to the Arvida Book Company Foundation for art display in Old Town Tustin, and to appoint a juror for the Tustin Legacy Park Sculpture Walk with a proposed honorarium not to exceed $1,500. A presentation by Valentin Flores regarding The HUB Gallery was also listed.
