+==== Item 1: Part 1 ====
+Mayor Jeff Wan delivered the inaugural State of the City address, outlining the city's accomplishments in 2025 and previewing plans for 2026. He highlighted the passage of a two-year budget covering 2025–2027, the completion of the sixth housing element, and the Climate Tech Project, which included LED lighting, solar panels, and EV charging stations. He also noted successful city-sponsored events, such as the Fourth of July parade and Hispanic Heritage Day, and the passage of the Geological Hazard Abatement District assessment. Wan thanked the city manager, Chris Loftus, for his leadership and mentioned the Unsung Hero program, which recognizes community members who contribute to the city’s well-being but often go unnoticed.
+Chief of Police Jeremy Crone provided an overview of the police department’s activities, including staffing levels, incident response, and community engagement efforts. He discussed the department’s focus on career development, the implementation of new policies, and the introduction of commendations for officers. Crone also highlighted the department’s community involvement, such as participating in local events and improving communication through social media. He outlined upcoming initiatives, including the implementation of new scheduling software and the submission of a grant for equipment and community safety improvements.
+Craig Chalmers, senior planner with community development, detailed accomplishments in planning and development, including the completion of the Oakhurst Country Club noise abatement agreement and the initiation of numerous code enforcement actions. He discussed efforts to streamline the application process for development permits, the creation of ADU stock plans, and the modernization of municipal codes to reflect best practices and legislative changes.
+Dennis Bazanich, administrative services director, outlined his work in managing contracts, budgeting, and project management. He emphasized the importance of effective contract management, the upcoming audit, and the development of weekly work plans with maintenance staff. Bazanich also mentioned the need to update outdated policies and the ongoing efforts to build a strong administrative foundation for the city.

+==== Item 2: Part 2 ====
+The discussion focused on the city's maintenance and infrastructure priorities, including efforts to improve cleanliness in gateways and medians, repair and redesign of the fountain pump system, and the implementation of new contracts for weed abatement and tree services. The maintenance department, currently understaffed with only five full-time employees and some seasonal workers, is exploring ways to contract out certain tasks and better allocate resources to ensure timely completion of work. The city is also looking into long-term solutions for pothole repairs, moving away from temporary cold patch fixes to more durable hot patch methods. Emphasis was placed on staff safety, training, and the need for better tools and equipment to improve efficiency. The city is also working on faster response times for maintenance issues such as irrigation repairs, vandalism, graffiti, and streetlight outages. Several upcoming projects were mentioned, including the 2026 paving project, repairs to areas affected by past storms using FEMA funds, and pedestrian safety improvements downtown. Staffing changes and cost-saving measures were also discussed, including the transition from contract to full-time city staff in several positions, which has resulted in significant annual savings. The city is also planning to develop a new city flag, enhance its website and communication systems, and implement a maintenance reporting system that would allow residents to report issues via a mobile app. Additionally, a library refresh project is underway, aiming to modernize the facility with new carpet, paint, and furniture. The mayor concluded by highlighting upcoming events and meetings, including the celebration of the Climate Tech project and a walk and talk event to preview the new East Bay Regional Park.
