Pasadena is proposing a $300,000 increase to its disaster recovery consulting contract with Frame Group LLC, a move that would bring the deal to $1.75 million.
The amendment, reported by Pasadena Now, would draw the additional money from the city's general fund for fiscal year 2027. A committee is scheduled to consider the item at 3 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 10, in the Council Chamber at City Hall, 100 N. Garfield Ave.
Frame Group assists the city with FEMA claims, insurance recovery and other disaster-related funding tied to the Eaton Fire. The firm is working on reconstruction projects including the Don Benito Reservoir, for which the City Council separately approved a $618,782 engineering contract in August 2026, and the Police Training Center.
The contract started at $250,000 in August 2025. It has been amended twice since.
The city's Finance Department estimates Pasadena could eventually recover about $913,949 in management costs through FEMA reimbursements, though that figure depends on federal eligibility decisions and is not money already received.
