The Livermore City Council is set at Monday’s regular meeting to accept audit reports for the 2024-25 fiscal year, including the city’s annual comprehensive financial report.
According to a letter by independent auditor Eide Bailly, the city’s financial statements fairly present financial information regarding governmental activities, business‐type activities, each major fund, aggregate remaining fund at the end of the fiscal year, respective changes in financial position and cash flows.
The reports are set for acceptance by the council as part of their consent calendar — composed of items typically considered noncontroversial and decided with a single motion.
During the Jan. 26 meeting, the board will not review any matters for consideration. Open session is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. and the agenda is available here.
In other business:
*Also on the consent calendar, the city is poised to authorize the allocation of $255,578 from the general fund and social opportunity endowment fund for fiscal years 2025-26 and 2026-27, according to the agenda.
Benefiting organizations and their projects include Tri-Valley Haven for mental health services, Chabot-Las Positas Community College for the Tri-Valley pathways to employment program as well as VITA services, Spectrum Community Services for Meals on Wheels and Tri-Valley Haven for its food pantry, according to a staff report prepared by Livermore management analyst Amy Walker.
Of the total allocations, $200,000 is set to come from the general fund with the remainder coming from the social opportunity endowment fund, the staff report states.
*The council is also set to authorize execution of an agreement between the city and Block by Block-CA, Inc. for health and sanitation services such as biohazard clean-up, power washing, syringe disposal, trash removal and safety-related outreach, according to a staff report prepared by Livermore human services programs manager Josh Thurman.
The agreement would be effective for the fiscal years of 2025-26 and 2026-27 for an amount not exceeding $642,315.
*The council is also set to authorize execution of a memorandum of understanding with Alameda County Transportation Commission for the construction of railroad crossings at L Street and Junction Avenue.
The construction would be part of the Rail Safety Enhancement Program – Phase A Project of Alameda CTC and Livermore.
The MOU as well as two construction and maintenance agreements are required for Alameda CTC to complete a right-of-way certification required for the commission to obtain grant funding for project construction, according to a staff report prepared by Livermore senior transportation engineer Joanna Liu.
Funding for the railroad crossings at Junction Avenue and L Street totaling $160,000 is included in the city’s 2025-2030 Capital Improvement Program, the staff report states.
Since Alameda CTC is the project sponsor and the implementing agency, the city’s CIP funding is exclusively for supporting services from city staff such as design review and construction inspections, according to the staff report.
The city will later owe a total of $6,250 annually for maintenance of the signal systems as of three years from the effective date of construction and maintenance agreements or the date of system installation and/or in-service date, according to the staff report. The signal maintenance fees will rise 3% annually.
