Pinole City Council meeting, 2-21-23

Pinole City Council meeting starting at 5 PM, Pinole City Hall/Hybrid. Given the items on closed session, I expect the meeting proper will start at 6 PM or later. There are a lot of items on the agenda (you can find the agenda packet here)- I would not be surprised if some of the new business ended up being continued to a later meeting, given that there are 12 consent calendar items and 4 new business. There’s a proclamation recognizing the anniversary of the executive order establishing the Japanese internment camps during world war II. There are consent calendar items for quarterly reports for the city’s investments, capital improvement projects, strategic plan, and climate action and adaptation plan. There are also consent calendar items for the budget development process, a consulting agreement for strategic financial planning support, and loaning additional funds ($1.2 million) and granting more generous interest for the SAHA project.

After that we get to new business, where we have discussion on how just cause eviction regulations work (with possible direction to city staff to start drafting one for Pinole), the mid-year financial report with adjustments, the adoption of the Local Roadway Safety Plan, and finally reviewing city council meeting procedures.
