Mayor presents proclamations recognizing Cal Water’s centennial and May as Livermore Valley Wine Month; council approves advisory‑board nominees
Summary
Council presented proclamations honoring California Water Service’s centennial and declaring May Livermore Valley Wine Month; council also approved advisory‑body nominations on the consent calendar.
The council opened the meeting with two ceremonial proclamations. Mayor Marshon read and presented a proclamation recognizing California Water Service Group (Cal Water) on its 100th anniversary; a Cal Water representative addressed the council, reflected on the company’s history and thanked the city.
The mayor also presented a proclamation declaring May 2026 Livermore Valley Wine Month. Brandy Lombardi, executive director of the Livermore Valley Wine Growers Association, accepted the recognition and described the region's winemaking history and a visitation campaign aimed at boosting tasting‑room traffic.
On the consent calendar, council approved advisory‑body nominations for Historic Preservation (Richard Hannon), Library (Aaron Rossland and Nancy Olivarentos) and the Housing Authority (Dan Knight). No applicants were present for tonight’s oath; staff will administer oaths at a later date.
Next steps: ceremonial proclamations require no council action; appointed nominees will be sworn in when they are available.
