Corcoran council adopts corrected 2025–26 compensation plan; hears shuttle proposal and pothole complaints
Summary
The Corcoran City Council on Aug. 12 adopted Resolution No. 4113, approving a corrected Fiscal Year 2025–2026 Compensation and Benefit Plan, approved the consent calendar and warrant register, heard a Tulare councilmember suggest a shuttle study, and received a public complaint about potholes on Sherman and Dairy avenues.
The Corcoran City Council on Aug. 12 approved Resolution No. 4113, adopting a corrected Fiscal Year 2025–2026 Compensation and Benefit Plan after a 3–0 vote. Councilmember Jeanette Zamora-Bragg moved to adopt the resolution, Councilmember Greg Ojeda seconded, and the motion passed with Mayor Sidonio “Sid” Palmerin and the two councilmembers voting in favor; Patricia “Pat” Nolen and Jerry Robertson were recorded as absent.
The council also approved the consent calendar and the Warrant Register for Aug. 12, 2025, each by the same 3–0 tally. The votes formalized routine approvals and financial disbursements recorded in the meeting minutes.
Finance Director Sandra Pineda provided a staff update on Courtesy Notices for high-water usage for flat-rate utility accounts, describing ongoing staff activity related to customer notifications. The council did not take immediate action on that item but recorded the update for follow-up.
During public discussion, Jose Sigala, identified as a City of Tulare councilmember, told the council he was interested in forming an ad hoc committee to explore funding for a shuttle service between Corcoran and the College of the Sequoias campus in Tulare. The council did not take a formal vote or direct staff to form the committee during the meeting.
A resident, Perry Thomas (listed in the minutes at 2125 Kern River Ave.), addressed the council to report potholes on Sherman and Dairy avenues and urged the council to prioritize repairs. The minutes record the concern but show no immediate action or timeline for street repairs.
Councilmember Zamora-Bragg requested an update on the Active Transportation Plan and traffic-safety work, and she reported that she can no longer represent the city on the KCAG Board because the board requires in-person attendance to vote. The council recessed to closed session at 6:01 p.m. to confer on labor negotiations (Government Code § 54957.6) covering CPOA, CPNSA, CLOCEA Local 39 and the unrepresented group, and to consider personnel matters under Government Code § 54957(b). The meeting reconvened at 6:36 p.m., with the council stating there was nothing to report from closed session, and adjourned at 6:38 p.m.
The minutes for this meeting were prepared and signed by City Clerk Marlene Spain.
