The Pleasanton City Council held its regular session on December 5, 2024, where city manager Mr. Weezer delivered a comprehensive update on various city initiatives and developments.

Mr. Weezer began by celebrating the recent graduation of four cadets from the fire academy, who were sworn in by Judge Carrasco and received their badges from family members. The cadets, now full-time firefighters, were also honored with a congressional certificate of recognition from Congressman Cuellar.

The Planning and Zoning Commission met to discuss zoning classifications for a 500-acre property, which is crucial for effective property development. The commission is preparing for public town hall meetings and creating a master plan to support the city's airport development.

Mendez Engineering is finalizing the schematic design for the FM 3350 drainage project, which aims to address flooding issues in the Northwest area. The design includes cost estimates and a scope of work, with a focus on completing the COVID crossing east of Goodwin and Airport Road. The project is expected to comply with floodplain requirements and should be ready by early 2025.

The street department reported successful maintenance of city drains and alleyways, as well as preparations for the Christmas tree installation. They also addressed a significant water leak on Marshall Street and installed a pipe culvert on Winship Road.

Airport manager Geiger Roberts reported a notable increase in flight operations at the municipal airport, with 1,333 operations recorded in November. This uptick is attributed to oil fuel operations and training activities from flight schools and the National Guard. However, the fuel farm project is facing delays due to electrical issues.

Lastly, the utility department discovered a cracked storage tank at the kitty splash pad, necessitating the installation of a new 1,000-gallon tank, with pricing for repairs currently under evaluation.

The meeting concluded with a focus on ongoing projects and the city's commitment to addressing infrastructure needs and community services.
