- We received an annual report on workplace vacancies and recruitment efforts. Good news is that while there are still some open positions, all have offers out and candidates have accepted. As thinnly as the City operates, if any one position is vacant it has the potential to have an impact on operations not only in that role, but the other roles that need to backfill in the interim.
- We received a report from the Assistant Chief / Fire Marshal, Chris Bachman. He presented a proposal whereby Contra Costa Fire would perform wildfire mitigation efforts including creating shaded fuel breaks (raising the canopy of trees to clear underneath them reducing available fuel in the event of a fire), and mowing or grazing various areas of grass and other fuels. This would take place over approximately 100 acres, and be covered by a grant from CAL Fire. The Chief was asking for the City's support as all of the land affected was owned by either the City of Concord, the City of Clayton, or Oakhurst Country Club. The Council supported this grant application.
- We adopted resolutions regarding the updated annual levy of the LMD - this needs to be done each year and is routine. We also adopted a resolution codifying what the City will do in the event of a disruption of telphone or internet service during a Council meeeting. We will pause for up to one hour then decide whether or not to continue.
- We set the public hearing date of july 7 for the proposed extension of the Landscape and Maintenance District by a ballot measure in the November election.
