Resident urges council to improve transparency, staffing and morale at Pleasanton City Hall
Summary
During public comment resident Teresa Miller asked the council for clearer budgets, better communication with constituents, more staffing stability, volunteer support for events, and improved council behavior and unity to support city workers.
Teresa Miller of 1201 Palm addressed the Pleasanton City Council during public comment on July 6, pressing the council to improve transparency and support for city employees.
Miller said residents find budget documents hard to understand and cited a lack of council communication when contacted by constituents. She highlighted staffing instability, increased workload on remaining employees, volunteer shortages for events such as Stars & Stripes weekend, pay-scale challenges, and concern about council behavior in City Hall. Miller urged the council to prioritize care for both the community and city workers and to foster unity and transparency.
The public comment did not result in immediate council action; council members referenced the broader budget and staffing discussions later in the meeting and agreed to explore consultant and staffing options.
