SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL <br />1 <br /> <br />Responses to City Council Agenda Items – June 16, 2026 <br /> <br />Regular Meeting <br /> <br /> <br />Agenda Item #5: Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute a Design <br />Professional Services Agreement with Kier and Wright Civil Engineers and Surveyors, <br />Inc., in the amount of $925,411 for the development, evaluation, and creation of a <br />precise roadway alignment for El Charro Road (CIP 27501), and approve the related <br />budget amendments <br /> <br />1. When was the policy direction provided by City Council to proceed with the <br />precise roadway alignment project? <br />A. Development of El Charro Road is a critical part of the circulation network <br />envisioned in the General Plan. While the City Council did not provide specific <br />direction to proceed with the contract in Item #5, it is a necessary and <br />appropriate step towards efforts to build El Charro Road. The majority of the <br />City Council has continued to endorse the concept, including during the most <br />recent discussions around East Pleasanton development and the East <br />Pleasanton Policy Framework at workshops in 2024 and 2025. The necessity <br />of constructing El Charro, to both serve new development and relieve existing <br />congestion, continues to be supported by technical analysis. In addition, <br />applicants have continued to make progress on projects in East Pleasanton <br />that abut the future El Charro Road, including the East Lakes residential <br />development and the Amazon project. Defining the precise alignment for El <br />Charro is necessary for both projects to move forward with design <br />development and for the City to advance its efforts to develop cost estimates <br />and capital improvement plans for the future roadway. <br /> <br />Agenda Item #12: Adopt a resolution approving rates for solid waste, recyclable <br />materials, and organic materials collection for fiscal year 2026/27 as required by the <br />Franchise Agreement between the City and Pleasanton Garbage Service, Inc. <br /> <br />2. Typically, our Waste & Recycling subcommittee reviews the PGS rates before <br />coming to full council. I don’t see that mentioned in the staff report. Did our <br />Council subcommittee meet and discuss the proposed increase and City <br />consultant's findings about the variance between what PGS proposed and what <br />the Consultant could verify? <br />A. Yes. The Waste and Recycling Council Subcommittee met on April 30, 2026, <br />to review and discuss the proposed rate adjustments, including the variances <br />identified during the City’s review and the special rate requests submitted by <br />Pleasanton Garbage Service (PGS). Representatives from PGS attended the <br />meeting and participated in the discussion. The City’s consultant, HF&H,
