City manager briefs council on capital‑project progress and upcoming community events
Summary
City manager reviewed operational matters and project updates including Pocket Park lighting repairs, East Cotati water service replacement, Sunflower Park and Putnam Park progress, and upcoming community outreach events (police neighborhood meeting, holiday activities).
City Manager provided updates on ongoing capital work and community programs:
• Pocket Park bollard lights: staff expect the lighting repairs and dimmer installation to be completed in the coming week to allow lower nighttime brightness while lighting the pathway.
• East Cotati Avenue: a water service line replacement is underway at Lancaster; traffic control and brief delays are expected.
• Sunflower Park: concrete, irrigation and electrical work are complete; tree planting and playground installation are scheduled with a resilient (no‑bark) surface planned. The project is expected to be completed before year‑end.
• Putnam Park: contractor walkthrough identified punch‑list items; staff expect completion in coming weeks after final corrections.
• Community events: a police community neighborhood meeting is scheduled Nov. 13; the city is coordinating with Redwood Empire Food Bank concerning potential local responses to SNAP/CalFresh benefit changes; seasonal events (trick‑or‑treating, tree lighting, breakfast with Santa) and classes were announced.
No formal council action was required. Councilmembers asked staff to coordinate outreach where appropriate.
