In a decisive move, the Pleasanton City Council approved an interlocal agreement resolution with Higginbotham Governmental Benefits Cooperative during their regular session on December 5, 2024. Council member Weizar emphasized the importance of this partnership, stating it aligns with the council's commitment to making sound decisions for the community.

The motion to enter into the agreement was swiftly passed, with council members showing unanimous support by raising their hands in favor. This agreement is expected to enhance the city's benefits offerings, providing better services to residents and employees alike.

In a notable turn, the council also opted to dismiss agenda items related to fiber cabinet and tower lease agreements with Rise Broadband. The decision to dismiss these items indicates a shift in focus, allowing the council to prioritize other pressing matters.

The approval of the Higginbotham agreement marks a significant step forward for Pleasanton, reinforcing the council's dedication to improving community resources while streamlining their agenda for future meetings.
