Pinole City Council meeting, 5-2-23

Tuesday, 5-2- Regular City Council meeting, 5 PM, Hybrid. You can find the agenda packet here.

The meeting will start with a closed session evaluation of the city manager. I expect that will take at least 30 minutes, so the meeting proper will probably start between 5:30-6. That will be followed by five proclamations honoring postman Choi, Municipal Clerk’s Week, Public Works Month, Public Service Employee Recognition Week, and Local and Community History Month. After that there will be an Earth Day video, a presentation from Contra Costa Transit Authority (CCTA), and an overview of the Mosquito and Vector Control District services.

There’s then consent calendar items- First, to award an on-call contract to SKL solutions for the Sanitary Sewer Collection system for $426,781 over 4 years, as they were the only vendor out of 7 contacted to reply to the request for proposals. Then, letters of support for AB1 (state legislature employee collective bargaining rights), and state transit funding. Finally, there’s a proposed letter of opposition to SB 423 (extension and expansion of streamlined housing approvals).

Then we have the City Road Condition update, which is continued from the last meeting (and should probably have been under old business for that), an update on the Pinole Perks Community Gift Card program, and finally an overview of possible policies on environmentally sustainable procurement practices for the City of Pinole.
