At a glance: council votes on appointments, police side‑letter and other items
Summary
The council approved a side letter with the Vallejo Police Officers Association to bring back one retired annuitant for DOJ‑related reforms, appointed Council Member Matulic as vice mayor, and approved other routine consent items; votes and short rationales are listed below.
The Vallejo City Council recorded several procedural and personnel decisions during the meeting, including approval of a side‑letter agreement with the Vallejo Police Officers Association, the appointment of a vice mayor and the consent calendar.
Side‑letter for retired annuitant: City HR staff explained the request to reinstate a specific retired annuitant to continue work on police department reforms related to California DOJ requirements; city and the VPOA negotiated language limited to this one rehiring. Council approved the side‑letter agreement. HR noted the action was narrowly tailored to sustain continuity on reform work.
Vice mayor selection: Council nominated and appointed Council Member JR Matulic to serve as vice mayor for 2026 after Vice Mayor Brueggenzer and Council Member Gordon each put forward nominees. The chair announced the selection; one council member registered opposition during the roll call on that item.
Consent calendar: The council approved the consent calendar after removing and renumbering item 9.F as 9.1 for discussion. The council also agreed to several referrals and asked staff to follow up on a long‑standing business parcel issue adjacent to Moschetti Coffee and to return with a Mare Island infrastructure update.
Details and outcomes • Side‑letter (9.1) — Approved. Purpose: permit a previously used retired annuitant to return to assist PD reforms; staff said the use is limited to the named individual and separate from other retired annuitant discussions. • Vice mayor appointment (Item 5a) — Council selected Council Member JR Matulic as vice mayor; Council Member Gordon recorded opposition on the floor.
Council asked staff to provide follow‑up briefings on Moschetti’s adjacent city parcel, Mare Island infrastructure and an overtime/comp time report included on the council referrals list.
