info pages 735-8),

labor negotiators for AFSCME Locals 1 and 512 and the Pinole Police

not several.

There are three proclamations, honoring Juneteenth (page 6), LGBTQ+
pride month (page 7), and Philippine Independence Day (page 8), and no
presentations.

Then there’s the consent calendar- There are the normal warrants, along

Tuesday, 5-6- City Council meeting, 5 PM, Hybrid. You can find the
agenda packet at
https://pinoleca.portal.civicclerk.com/event/993/files/agenda/853.

There is one closed session item- a real property negotiation on price
and terms for 2100 San Pablo Avenue with Art Pakpour (govt code
54956.8), city negotiators Kelcey Young and Eric Casher. I expect that
to take at least 30 minutes if not an hour- but when it will occur in
the meeting I do not know, as at the last council meeting the mayor
moved closed session to the end of the meeting.

There are six proclamations, honoring Municipal Clerk’s Week (page 6),
Economic Development Week (page 7), National Public Works Week (page 8),
Police Officer Week and Peace Officer’s Memorial Day (page 9), Public
Service Recognition Week (page 10), and P-Lo Day (page 11) and two
presentations- an update from Contra Costa Animal Services (pages
12-21), and an CalPERS pension review and cost management assessment
(pages 22-47, recommendations on page 46).

Then there’s the consent calendar- There are the normal warrants, along
with the minutes for the April 15th city council meeting, a resolution
adopting the Appian Village final subdivision map (staff report pages
89-91, resolution pages 92-3, civil plan set pages 94-115, planning
commission initial resolution and conditions of approval pages 116-173),
approving an agreement for a citywide copier replacement and maintenance
agreement (staff report pages 174-6 showing fiscal impact of $86,700 for
the 5 year term of the agreement, notably less than the $45,131
allocated in the current year budget for this year alone, resolution
page 177, agreement pages 178-83), a resolution authorizing RecycleMore
to enter an agreement with Republic Services for post-collection
services (staff report pages 184-5, resolution pages 186-7),

confirming the city’s financial and investment policies (staff report
pages 188-91, resolution page 192-3, policies pages 194-234)- I
personally would argue that the city’s strategic asset allocation for
the pension investment funds investments in particular should shift away
from the current 36% in equities as policy (as shown on page 223), given
the substantial current and likely ongoing volatility in the equities
market as well as the shorter expected remaining lifespan of the fund.

And for the last consent calendar item, we have a resolution to approve
a list of projects funded by SB 1 funds (staff report pages 229-231,
fiscal impact of $478,095 from the grant already accounted for,
resolution pages 232-4).

There will be one public hearing on the Financial Year (FY) 2025/6
Master Fee Schedule- staff notes notes most fees (building, planning and
engineering) would increase by Consumer Price Index (CPI) of 2.7% while
recreation, police (except vehicle release, which increases by $40),
wastewater utility, business license and fire prevention fees remain
unchanged due to falling under different rulesets (staff report pages
235-7, resolution pages 239-40, fee schedule pages 241-295).

Finally, there will be two items under new business- the FY 2025/26
Preliminary Proposed Operating and Capital Budget (staff report pages
296-308, budget pages 309-528, budget presentation pages 529-578, with
recommendations on page 576). The overlapping elements are similar to
the baseline budget presented at the Finance Subcommittee meeting,
although PCTV’s deficit has increased from $73,551 at that meeting to
$207,261 in the current document (see page 306 in this agenda compared
to page 120 in the finance subcommittee agenda at
https://pinoleca.portal.civicclerk.com/event/1033/files/agenda/844).

And the last new business item is the FY 25-26-FY29-30 Capital
Improvement Plan (CIP). There is a staff report on pages 579-80, the
summary and projects from pages 581-642, and a presentation on pages
643-653. The fiscal breakdown shows $13,766,831 as projected for FY
2025/6, with $0 coming from the general fund directly (although $350,000
will be coming from Measure S 2006 and $1,392,669 from Measure S 2014)
(page 581).
