CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING AGENDA PACKET

Page 14 of 14 organizations, education-focused groups, local veterans organizations, City co-sponsored youth sports user group and adult sports leagues, Community Emergency Response Team (CERT), foundation/support groups, and City commissions, committees, and boards. Concurrent with those public outreach efforts, City staff was provided with continuous information and updates regarding the City’s financial position. These internal communications include an all-staff meeting and nine email updates from the City Manager to keep employees informed, as well as departmental meetings to provide a forum for dialogue with department directors. Employees were encouraged to provide ideas for cost reductions and operational efficiencies, many of which were incorporated into the FY 2024/25 Mid-Term Budget reductions and the contingency menu for FY25-FY27. The City has distributed multiple e-newsletters that provided information on the City’s fiscal challenges and the exploration of a revenue measure to help sustain revenues for the delivery of the current level of programs and services. In addition, two direct mailers – the community survey and a special issue of Pleasanton Progress – were delivered directly to all residential addresses in the city. The community survey was distributed via email and electronically, and printed copies were made publicly available. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT This item aligns with the ONE Pleasanton strategic plan goal of Funding Our Future that supports financial health and sound fiscal policies. FISCAL IMPACT This is an informational report only; there is no fiscal impact from receiving this report.
