Pittsburg City Council meeting ·
This summary is from the Pittsburg Chamber of Commerce, not the City of Pittsburg. The agenda belongs to the City — we just explain it in plain words.
This Pittsburg City Council meeting is short and mostly about fixing up local projects. The Council will vote on three construction and design contracts: two at Buchanan Park (storm drains and the pond pathway) and one for water and sewer work on West Santa Fe Avenue. There are also two proclamations and two presentations, including one about a new room for crime victims and an update on a data center advisory committee. No public hearings or new taxes are on this agenda.
