San Ramon Council to Contact Waitlist Candidate for Planning Commission Vacancy, May Reopen Recruitment
The City Council discussed the process for filling a vacancy on the Planning Commission following Commissioner Max Zhang's resignation. The council considered options including appointing the waitlist candidate (Abhijit Banjari), conducting a new recruitment process, or providing alternate direction. A waitlist candidate was established in August 2025, with the waitlist policy set to expire with the next recruitment cycle in July 2027. The council debated whether to appoint the waitlist candidate for the remainder of the vacant term (until June 30, 2029) or for a shorter period (until the 2027 recruitment). Ultimately, the council directed staff to contact the waitlist candidate to confirm interest and availability. If interested, the appointment would be brought back for consideration, likely for a term ending in 2027. If unavailable, staff is directed to initiate a new recruitment process.
New Trails Master Plan Enhances Access to San Ramon's Open Spaces and Regional Connections
The City Council adopted the San Ramon Trails Master Plan, which emphasizes connections to open space and enhancing existing trails. The plan identifies specific projects such as trails connecting neighborhoods to open spaces, improving connections to external open spaces like Las Trampas Regional Wilderness, and enhancing trails within city limits. One highlighted project is the Ferreira Preserve connection to Northwest San Ramon, linking to Los Trampas, and leveraging planned East Bay Regional Park District trail work near the city border. The plan also calls for enhancing existing trails within city limits and developing new trailheads to improve access to nature and open space.
