city council

The council voted 5-0 to approve the consent agenda, which included a $50,000 contract with TV Pro Gear, Inc. for council meeting video services; before the vote, Councilmember Darden questioned costs and the city manager confirmed approximately $49,875 had already been expended at roughly $5,800 per meeting, meaning the contract amount was nearly exhausted at the moment of approval — three additional recurring personnel items passed on the same 5-0 consent vote without further discussion: a Grants Director position (up to $132,457 annually), an amended Maintenance Worker Trainee classification ($41,912), and a new Receptionist Clerk position ($38,003). On action items, the council voted 5-0 to authorize $214,730 in CDBG funds for the Clean Team employment training program, covering approximately ten temporary positions at $20.15 per hour, and voted 5-0 to accept $192,729 in state tobacco enforcement grant funds with $173,621 in authorized expenditures. No new spending was approved during the public hearing on potential reallocation of approximately $7.5 million in unspent federal CDBG and HOME funds dating back to 2018 — six residents spoke, raising questions about delayed fund deployment, park conditions, and toxic site remediation, and staff was directed to return with revised proposals. During general public comment, multiple speakers raised concerns about a city credit card charge linked to Councilmember Spicer; Spicer stated the charge was for a June event featuring a performer named Jason Martin, not a medical provider.

The council's only new expenditure was a $5,255 budget amendment authorizing a purchase order with Zumar Industries for road signs and supplies from the Measure P Fund, approved 5-0; the initial motion was withdrawn and re-voted after a council member flagged that the resolution incorrectly cited a temporary $75,000 single-vendor spending authority from a July 2024 measure rather than the standing $25,000 threshold, with the $5,255 amount falling well below either figure. The council also passed 5-0 the second reading of the Construction Labor Disclosure Ordinance, which requires contractors on large city construction projects to disclose prior labor violations; one speaker during the public comment period, representing the Western States Regional Council of Carpenters, addressed this item in support before the vote. The city manager presented the proposed FY 2025-26 budget — $262.3 million across all funds, $75.1 million in the general fund — at a required public hearing, but no budget was adopted; approximately nine members of the public spoke, raising concerns about specific streets absent from the capital improvement plan, the destination of cannabis license revenue, sheriff contract overtime accountability, and the absence of visible youth program spending. A separate AB 2561-required public hearing on the city's 21.6% vacancy rate (87 of 402 budgeted positions unfilled) drew two union representatives from AFSCME and SEIU who described labor contracts expired since June 2024, a $100,000-plus classification study contracted in 2023 that the city manager stated the vendor failed to complete as specified, and an average time-to-hire of 116 days, alongside three members of the public.
