Tuesday, 9-3- Regular City Council meeting, 5 PM, Hybrid. You can find the
agenda packet at https://pinoleca.portal.civicclerk.com/event/61/files/agenda/678 .
There are 2 closed session items- public employee performance evaluation with regards to the city manager (which I assume is for the interim city manager, as the new one started just over a week ago), and conference with real property negotiators on APN: 401-163-003 (i.e, the Pinole Post Office at 2101 Pear St) negotiating parties City Attorney and American Postal Infrastructure. I would expect those to take at least an hour.
There is one oath of office, for the new City Manager Kelcey Young. There are three proclamations, honoring Police Chief Neil Gang, Building Staff Appreciation Day, and Suicide Prevention Day and Suicide Prevention Week.
Then there’s the consent calendar- There are the normal minutes and warrants, a letter of support for AB 1955 SAFETY Act (bars any school body from revealing a student’s sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression to anyone without their consent unless required by law page 49), a letter of support for AB2583 which would impose new speed limits on a narrower segment of school routes in 2025 and 2028 (25 mph in 2025, 20 mph in 2028) page 58),
an amendment to the City of Pinole Conflict of Interest Code to include the Junior Engineer, Assistant Engineer and Police Commander classifications (page 81), appointing councilmembers (Mayor Toms and Vice-Mayor Sasai) as voting delegates for the 2024 league of california cities annual conference general assembly meeting (page 88), formally adopting the municipal code amendment 8.38 SINGLE-USE PLASTIC FOODWARE AND BAG REDUCTION first read (since apparently it was not properly adopted the last time, page 93), restoring a budget allocation for temporary contract planning services (net fiscal impact $150,000 to building and planning fund, no impact to general fund page 108),
adopting a resolution authorizing the City manager to execute 4-year on call planning services agreements as needed for staff augmentation, planning studies and environmental services (13 different entities qualified for possible selection, total cost over 4 year term for all capped at $1.5 million which will be partially or fully recoverable depending on the service page 114. If you want to read the various entity packets, they are on pages 166 through 947), authorizing the purchase of one police patrol vehicle- 2025 Ford Police Interceptor Utility, which is a standard Internal Combustion Engine vehicle (net cost $54,768.36, page 948),
approving the installation of a memorial sign on Fire Station 74 in honor of Captains Bob Ramos and Rich Voisey (no fiscal impact to the city, all costs covered by ConFire page 953), and a resolution amending resolution 2024-59 to align with the county deadlines for submitting arguments for and against the sales tax measure (pages 962-4, though I would note that the updated deadlines have already passed).
There is 1 public hearing- the first reading of an ordinance adding chapter 9.19 “Safe Storage of Firearms” to the municipal code (ordinance text on pages 978-980, requires storage of weapon and ammunition in locked containers when not on the person of an owner, and in locked containers with a trigger lock in any vehicle, bars overnight storage in a vehicle, and does not apply to active duty military personnel and law enforcement in the course of their duties).
