CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: March 16, 2026
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCILMEMBERS
TITLE: ADOPT ORDINANCE NO. ___ AMENDING THE COMPOSITION OF THE
CITY OF PLEASANT HILL CIVIC ACTION COMMISSION
SYNOPSIS
The City Council is requested to adopt the proposed resolution to amend Pleasant Hill Municipal Code Section 3.25.010, establishing the Civic Action Commission, allowing the composition of the commission to expand from nine to eleven members. The expansion would still require at least nine of the members be Pleasant Hill residents, with up to two members allowed to be businesspersons, with a business in Pleasant Hill, who are nonresidents or persons living outside the corporate limits but within the city’s sphere of influence.
DISCUSSION
Background
The ordinance was first introduced at the February 23, 2026, City Council meeting and has been returned for a second reading. The request for the amendment has been issued by the Civic Action Commission to give them additional members, which would allow them to continue to refine and expand upon programs and events designed to enrich the lives of the Pleasant Hill Community.
Analysis
The efforts by the commission to continually improve upon its programming, as well as add new and different programs, have necessitated, in the CAC’s view, an expansion to its membership.
Including two more members would enable the commission to continue to provide high quality programs and events for the community, while giving CAC members the resources required to continue to improve upon, expand, and add events.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no direct financial impact as a result of adopting the resolution.
PUBLIC CONTACT
Public Contact was made through posting of the City Council agenda on the City’s official notice bulletin board, at the Pleasant Hill Senior Center, and at the Pleasant Hill Police Department. The agenda and staff report are posted on the City’s web page.
RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION
Adopt the proposed resolution to amend Pleasant Hill Municipal Code Section 3.25.010 to increase the composition of the Civic Action Commission from nine members to eleven.
ALTERNATIVES TO RECOMMENDED ACTION
The City Council could choose not to accept the resolution and provide direction to City staff and the Civic Action Commission.
