Pleasanton Council To Review Project Priorities

PLEASANTON, CA — The Pleasanton City Council will review 82 proposed projects for review and prioritization at its Tuesday meeting. The review comes after the council passed a budget implementing approximately $7 million in ongoing annual cuts in response to a structural General Fund deficit of roughly $10-13 million a year.

During the workshop, council members will participate in a dot-voting exercise to indicate preferred projects. Projects are divided into four tiers:

1. Must Do: Legally required or critical for operations
2. Committed Priorities: High strategic alignment and available resources
3. Strategic Pipeline: Visionary initiatives with high potential impact
4. Deferred: Valuable but not currently prioritized due to low urgency or resource constraints

According to a preliminary staff review, the 23 “Must Do” projects include:

1. BART Station Concept Plan for Housing
2. Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan Update
3. Housing Element - additional residential rezones
4. Streamlining permit process
5. East Pleasanton planning and policy
6. LPFD / State Water Resources Control Board investigation
7. Organizational assessment of operational effectiveness
8. Eliminate Central Services Division
9. Explore potential ballot/revenue measure options
10. Implementation and financing for water infrastructure
