June 9, 2026 Joint meeting of the Council, Shoreline Regional Park, & Capital Improvements Authority
The joint council meeting opened with Pride Month and Juneteenth proclamations, followed by approval of an 11-item consent calendar covering ordinances on housing, zoning, police military equipment, a shelter crisis extension, heat pump rebate funding, election resolutions, and a park land acquisition on Terabella. The council received the AB2561 workforce vacancy report (overall vacancy below national benchmarks) and held a public hearing on the structurally balanced FY2026-27 recommended budget, which emphasizes core services, infrastructure, economic vitality, and a potential November 2026 revenue measure. Public comments addressed greenhouse gas emissions, utility rate increases for mobile home residents, surveillance cameras, native plant biodiversity, and a dog park; the council moved to approve the budget with a modest addition for multicultural engagement programming.
