Summary of citizen participation process and consultation process Community participation is a very important part of the Consolidated Plan and Action Plan development process. The City maintains an active database of potential interested parties and uses it to send out notification of grant funding opportunities at the beginning of every application cycle (early December) which is also the beginning of the annual Action Plan (and Consolidated Plan) process. The list currently includes approximately 250 nonprofit agencies, individuals, and other interested parties. In addition, ads are placed in local newspapers (including the Pleasanton Weekly which is distributed to every household in Pleasanton) and on the City’s website. Interested parties have multiple opportunities to participate and provide input on the process starting with annual grant workshops in early December through the annual CAPER hearing held annually in August. The 30-day public comment period for the Consolidated Plan will take place from June 20 – July 21, 2015. A public hearing at a Pleasanton City Council meeting will be held on July 15, 2025, to take comments on the DRAFT Consolidated Plan. A Public Hearing Notice was published in a locally circulated newspaper The Valley Times on June 27, 2025.
