Top issues during term (20)
Light industrial rezone at 5801 Bridgehead Road
Could fill vacant commercial space and end a code enforcement case, boosting the local tax base.
Emergency Shelters Allowed By Right in Multifamily Zones
None stated — it's a code clarification with no change to development intensity.
Citywide data center ban
No direct hit to the general fund from the moratorium itself, but data centers could otherwise strain city utilities and infrastructure.
Vacancy in City Council District Five
The appointment process costs little; a special election would likely cost over $100,000.
Major street and intersection projects funded
ECCRFFA brings up to $1.6 million toward project development costs; regional share is 31% of actual costs.
Potential city-initiated litigation
Any litigation could carry legal costs for the city, though no figures are public.
110 new homes on East Cypress Road (Peixoto Ranch)
An additional $860,000 on top of the $16.47 million base contract.
Hacienda Estates Subdivision on Sellers Avenue
Potential city litigation
About $5 million in drainage improvements is at issue in the lawsuit.
5279 Neroly Road Appeal
The owner faces abatement costs and a clouded title until the addition is removed.
3920 Empire Avenue Commercial Redesignation
Panda Express and Quick Quack at Main Street and Neroly Road
Sale proceeds go to the county's redevelopment trust fund to pay remaining bond debt, with balances distributed to local agencies including schools and the city.
E-Bike Safety and Park Damage
Park damage has already cost the city more than $12,000 at a single park, with repair costs recurring.
Canal Replacement Program
A multi-billion-dollar program whose rate impacts on water customers are still being studied.
New Senior Public Works Inspector Position
Estimated average savings of about $200,000 per year in the general fund.
Cemetery consolidation proposal
Trustees say consolidation could redirect East County cemetery tax dollars toward Alamo-Lafayette's $3.5 million debt.
Animal services performance
Improved efficiency was achieved without adding staffing or costs.
Possible reallocation of saved election funds to the library
Services are provided free of charge through the Contra Costa County Library system.
FY 2026/27 City Budget Adoption
