Traffic Studies Inform Recommendations for Speed Management and Safety Improvements
The City Council received and filed three traffic studies, including an all-way stop warrant analysis, a traffic calming report for Santa Clara Street, and a speed study for River Street and Heritage Valley Parkway. The all-way stop at Mountain View and 3rd Street was not recommended due to insufficient warrants. For Santa Clara Street, recommendations included further engineering surveys to potentially lower speed limits and improve intersection visibility. For River Street and Heritage Valley Parkway, various speed management strategies were proposed, such as senior zone postings, ENT studies, and reclassifying certain streets to local residential status. The council authorized staff to proceed with these improvements.
City Council Approves Funding for New Permitting and Cost-Tracking Module
The City Council approved the first amendment to the contract services agreement with PSD Citywide for $35,000 to add a permitting and cost-tracking module to the existing computerized maintenance management system (CMMS). This module will streamline permit and inspection management, digitize records, and allow for real-time field updates. The funding will come from remaining American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds. The amendment also formalizes annual maintenance fees for years two through five and corrects the agreement's termination date to February 17, 2030. The motion to approve passed unanimously.
City Council Approves Application for USDA Rural Business Development Grant
The City Council considered and approved a resolution authorizing the city to apply for the Rural Business Development Grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). This grant is intended to improve economic development plans within the city, with potential uses including a feasibility study and alignment with city council's economic goals. The city is eligible for this grant based on USDA criteria, and a key benefit is that it does not require a local match. The resolution number 26-4122 was approved unanimously.
City Council Approves Compensation and Benefits Adjustments for Non-Represented Employees
The City Council adopted Resolution No. 26-4119, establishing compensation, benefits, and terms of employment for non-represented management, mid-management, confidential, and part-time employees, effective July 1, 2026. This includes a 4% salary increase for management and confidential employees to match increases for represented employees. Additionally, the city's monthly cafeteria plan contribution for eligible employees will increase from $1,525 to $1,725, maintaining consistency with contributions for represented employees. The estimated annual cost of these adjustments is $112,000, which has been included in the approved fiscal year 2026-27 budget. The resolution passed unanimously.
City Council Adopts Gann Appropriation Limit for Fiscal Year 2026-27
The City Council adopted Resolution No. 26-4117, establishing the Gann appropriation limit for the fiscal year 2026-27. This limit, based on state law, is calculated using prior year limits adjusted for population and inflation. For fiscal year 2026-27, the Gann limit is approximately $21.6 million. The city's qualifying appropriations for the adopted budget are approximately $11.1 million below this limit, ensuring compliance with constitutional limits. The motion to adopt the resolution passed unanimously.
