Votes at a glance: Guadalupe council adopts budget and Caltrans utility agreement; approves consent items
Summary
At its June 24 meeting, the Guadalupe City Council approved the consent calendar (including appointments to the GCAC), adopted Resolution 2025-35 (Caltrans utility reimbursement agreement) and adopted Resolution 2025-37 (FY25-26 final budget with a small adjustment to fund the Townsend contract). The council then adjourned to closed session.
The Guadalupe City Council took several routine and fiscal votes at its June 24 meeting:
• Consent calendar — Approved by voice vote. The consent calendar included the appointment of Robert Diaz and Deborah Sykes to the Guadalupe Cultural Arts Commission (GCAC) and routine administrative items. Motion to approve the consent calendar was made and seconded; the council adopted it by voice vote (all ayes). Council member Acosta Jr. was absent for the meeting.
• Resolution 2025-35 — Adopted (roll-call vote 4-0). The council adopted a utility agreement with Caltrans that authorizes the city to seek reimbursement for relocating water meters, a fire hydrant and related work required by the Guadalupe Street realignment project. Public works staff estimated relocation costs of about $15,000 and said Caltrans staff indicated they expect to reimburse the city. (See separate item for additional background.)
• Resolution 2025-37 — Adopted (roll-call vote 4-0). The council adopted the proposed final budget for fiscal year 2025–26, the capital improvements project budget and the capital facilities program of projects. Council staff said one small correction had been made since the June 10 meeting: $25,000 was moved into the fund balance and staff proposed allocating approximately $6,000 of that to cover most of the Townsend contract cost (90% public works, 10% general fund). The motion passed by roll call with Council members Vernez, Villegas and Hernandez and Mayor Julian voting aye; Council member Acosta Jr. was absent.
• Motion to adjourn to closed session — Approved by voice vote.
