- We interviewed candidates for three open Planning Commission seats. After the interviews, we appointed three applicants - two incumbents and one new member. Congratulations to Commissioners Nate Brzovich, Charlie Schmidt, and Maria Shulman.
- We renewed the levy of assessments at Diablo Estates Beneftis Assessment District. While the levy is allowed to be increased each year, due to healthy reserves and being able to manage expenses in the district, the City left the levy flat from prior year, as was also done previously. There were comments from residents regarding the level of service and some improvements that could be made which were referred to staff.
- We approved the action necessary to place the renewal of the Landscape Maintenance District (LMD) assessment on the November ballot. This funding source is critical for the City's current operations and renewing it for the third 10 year period is necessary to maintain the level of service in the LMD that our residents expect. We also selected Councilmembers Tillman and Trupiano to write the argument in favor of the assessment for the November ballot.
- We adopted a process that provides for the electronic filing of campaign documents. The target is to have this up and running for the upcoming November election.
- We approved the annual levy of assessments in the Streetlight Assessment District. This levy is fixed and does not increase each year, though costs have risen over time such that the District is underfunded. The financial outlook for the District is improving with lower cost LED lights replacing older lights.
- We approved a contract with Bay Cities Paving and Grading for our bi-annual street work. The streets selected were from last year and those went out to bid. Bay Cities was the lowest bidder and happens to be a local company as well.
