 formally adopting the municipal code amendment 8.38 SINGLE-USE PLASTIC FOODWARE AND BAG REDUCTION second read (since apparently it was not properly adopted the last time. Text of the ordinance pages 187-197),  the second reading and adoption of an ordinance adding chapter 9.19 “Safe Storage of Firearms” to the municipal code (ordinance text on pages 204-6, 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).

After all of that, there is one item under public hearings- Introduction And First Reading Of Ordinance Amending Chapter 2.08.010 Of The Pinole Municipal Code To Increase Council Members’ Salaries (staff report pages 207-8, ordinance text 209-10). Fiscal impact of raising council salaries to $759.41 per month would be $4725.84 for the next two fiscal years, due to the raise only applying to those elected after it took effect (page 208).
