Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Fremont, California public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Charter City Governance Follow-Up
The council was scheduled to review governance and organizational modifications arising from the Charter City initiative — potentially affecting how city government is structured.
Family Resource Center Wayfinding Funding Boost
A hearing was set on adding $79,162 in federal Community Development Block Grant money to the Family Resource Center's navigation signage project, and awarding the construction contract to Front Signs.
LARM insurance renewal
The city's property and liability insurance renews at $1,094,805 — an 11% jump, much milder than last year's 34%, mostly because of a new fire engine and ambulance on the policy.
City Hall renovation
The city is spending $327,600 to design renovations of City Hall's basement, first, and third floors, including filling in the drive-through and upgrading HVAC and electrical. Construction will be phased to fit the budget.
End of penny production and cash rounding
With the federal government phasing out pennies, the city set rounding rules for cash-only transactions. Regular bills are unaffected; small under-five-cent differences simply roll month to month for utility customers.
City cash and investments position
January balances dipped because of big construction and utility payments, but staff say funds remain safe and diversified in short-term treasury notes and CDs.
