<br />The Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department (LPFD) is a Joint Powers Authority (JPA) committed
<br />to providing public safety services to the Cities of Pleasanton and Livermore. Operations include
<br />fire stations staffed 24/7, fire prevention services, and administration, managing business functions
<br />including finance, recruitment, and communications.
<br />
<br />The Community and Economic Development Department (CEDD) supports long-range and
<br />current planning, development approvals and entitlement, building plan check and permitting,
<br />transportation and traffic engineering, code enforcement, housing programs, economic
<br />development and sustainability initiatives. The recent formation of the Community and Economic
<br />Development Department reflects the City Council's priority to increase focus on economic
<br />development activities and a growing interest in exploring opportunities through land use,
<br />permitting, and process changes to facilitate new investment in Pleasanton in key areas such as
<br />East Pleasanton and the Stoneridge Shopping Center redevelopment.
<br />
<br />The Public Works Department (PW) is responsible for the operations and maintenance of the
<br />City’s infrastructure, design and construction of public facilities, and the administration of many
<br />quality-of-life services. The Public Works Department is organized into multiple divisions including
<br />Operations and Maintenance, Utilities and Environmental Services, Engineering, Parks, Customer
<br />Service and Utility Billing, Facilities, Fleet, Streets and Traffic Safety, Environmental Services,
<br />Water, Sewer, Storm Drains, Capital Improvement, Land Development, Landscape Architecture,
<br />Construction Management, and Waste and Recycling.
<br />
<br />The Library and Recreation Department (LR) provides comprehensive community services
<br />including facility rentals, cemetery management, library services, literacy programming, youth and
<br />adult programs, arts center operations, recreation programs, senior services, human services, and
<br />aquatics programs. Recent efforts to enhance operational efficiency include the combining of the
<br />Library and Recreation service desks.
<br />
<br />Workshop Details
<br />Following a comprehensive presentation on the four-tiered project prioritization framework and
<br />departmental core services, the City Council will be asked to review the current project inventory,
<br />organized by priority category. This will include an opportunity for questions and clarification on
<br />specific projects, their resource requirements, and strategic alignment. The session will conclude
<br />with a prioritization exercise using dot voting methodology. Each City Council member will receive
<br />10 dots to distribute across all four priority categories, with a maximum of one dot per project per
<br />City Council member, providing input to staff on Council preferences and priorities for project
<br />implementation. This collaborative approach ensures transparency in decision-making and ensures
<br />staff are fully aware of City Council project priorities when making operational decisions. The City
<br />Council may also choose to add projects during this exercise or let staff know if there is a desire to
<br />remove projects.
<br />
<br />Next Steps
<br />Following the workshop, staff will compile and review the City Council’s prioritization results and
<br />develop a refined project list. This list will guide the finalization of departmental work plans in early
<br />August 2025. Department work plans are developed by aligning City Council priorities, workshop
<br />direction, and available resources to ensure effective implementation.
