Key formal outcomes from the meeting:

1) 2025 Drinking Water Public Health Goals report (Agenda Item 13) — Approved (recorded vote: 7-0; one member absent). Staff presented the triennial evaluation of city drinking water against California's non-binding public health goals. The report identified limited detections above state public-health-goal levels in some groundwater sources (arsenic, hexavalent chromium, radionuclides, PFOA, PFOS) but found the municipal system meets all enforceable state and federal standards. Council accepted the report and requested more historical trend information in future reports.

2) Sacramento River Parkway preliminary plans and CEQA addendum (Agenda Item 17) — Approved (roll-call vote: 7-0; Mayor absent). Council approved preliminary design and adopted an addendum to the 1997 EIR for approximately four miles of levee-top shared-use path through the Pocket/Greenhaven neighborhood, directing staff to proceed to final design and right-of-way work. Council instructed staff to continue targeted outreach and finalize a safety plan addressing enforcement, ranger patrols and privacy/trespass mitigation as part of the design and acquisition process.

3) City manager terms and conditions (Agenda Item 18) — Approved (unanimous by recorded roll call with mayor absent). Council approved a three-year employment agreement for the incoming city manager, including an annual salary of $399,000, a 5.5% deferred-compensation deposit, $500/month auto allowance, $150/month technology allowance, 80 hours management leave annually, a 96-hour sick leave allocation at hire, up to $50,000 relocation, and nine months' severance if terminated without cause. The contract follows the personnel resolution for unrepresented officers and employees.

Notes on other substantive agenda items: The council held an extended workshop on regional homelessness governance (no formal vote) and received updates on the al fresco dining program and multiple shared-use-path projects (2 Rivers Trail and Sacramento River Parkway).
