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.
The Pittsburg City Council meets November 16, 2026. They will look at new fees for kayak storage and fire pit reservations at city parks. The consent calendar has several items, including street, water tank, and sewer repairs, a police traffic safety grant, a new housing map, and changes to city staff rules. The Council will also vote on 4% raises for the City Manager and the City Attorney.
New Fees for Kayak Storage and Fire Pits
FeesThe city wants to add two new fees. One is a rental fee to store kayaks and paddle boards at the Pittsburg Marina. The other is a reservation fee and refundable deposit for new fire pits at Central Harbor Park.
Why it matters: People who use the marina or want to reserve a fire pit would pay these new fees. The city says the fees cover its costs and stay in line with nearby cities.
What's being decided: Approve or deny the new fees.
Highlands Ranch Water Tank Repairs
WaterThe city plans to fix the 1-million-gallon Highlands Ranch water tank. Work includes a new inside coating, rust protection, ladder replacement, and repairs. The contract goes to Cal Sierra Construction for $527,500.
Why it matters: This tank stores drinking water for part of the city. The work is paid from the Water Fund, which comes from water customers.
What's being decided: Approve the plans, add funds, change the budget, and award the contract.
Terry Court Sewer Repair
SewerThe city will replace an old sewer main near Terry Court and St. Moritz Drive. The contract goes to APB General Engineering for $228,275.
Why it matters: This fixes repeated sewer problems in the area. It affects nearby homes and the reliability of the sewer system.
What's being decided: Approve the plans and award the contract.
Zone 7 Street Paving Complete
RoadsThe city repaved about 16 miles of local streets using several methods. This item marks the project as finished.
Why it matters: These are streets people drive every day. Marking it complete closes out the paving work.
What's being decided: Accept the project as complete and file a Notice of Completion.
Traffic Safety Grant for Police
Public SafetyThe state gave Pittsburg Police $91,300 for traffic safety. The money pays for enforcement and education on drunk driving, speeding, and distracted driving.
Why it matters: This affects traffic enforcement on city streets. The goal is to lower deadly and injury crashes.
What's being decided: Accept the grant.
Final Map for Catania Court Housing
HousingA home builder updated the map for a subdivision called Catania Court after grading changes during construction. This item records those lot changes.
Why it matters: This is part of new home construction in the San Marco area. The map makes the lot changes official.
What's being decided: Approve the final map and authorize city officials to sign it.

City Attorney Raise
CompensationAfter reviewing the City Attorney's work, the Council agreed to a change in the employment contract. It gives a 4% increase, half to base salary and half to deferred pay.
