08.18.2026 City Council Regular Meeting

The City of Oroville City Council regular meeting, identified in the title as August 18, 2026 (metadata timestamp: August 19 UTC), included several procurement and infrastructure items. Council approved an amendment to Agreement 3546-1 for design work on the Table Mountain Boulevard/Washington Avenue Complete Streets project; staff said it was budget-neutral and funded through CMAC, with Mark Thomas involved in the project. Council also approved Agreement 3594, a memorandum of understanding with the UC Cooperative Extension Master Gardener program for activities and workshops at Sank Park. An upgrade to city server-storage infrastructure, funded through the special technology-fee fund, was approved; staff described it as a standard replacement of equipment in its sixth year, supporting city servers and public safety. Staff reported that Norton Street project bids were due Thursday, with a later council presentation anticipated, and that 116 tons of asphalt had been placed against a previously allocated $750,000. A letter to PG&E concerning delays and possible cancellation of Oroville’s Rule 2A undergrounding project passed 6–1.

CGI Digital presented a no-cost city video program financed through optional paid business participation. Council did not approve an agreement, instead directing staff to return with additional details and other city references, while addressing concerns about business outreach and the city’s name and reputation. Pioneer Community Energy reported that it had procured power for Oroville ahead of a planned October 2027 service launch and discussed potential local power-purchase agreements and energy-related revenue programs; no new spending vote was recorded. In discussion of a potential District A vacancy, council expressed consensus to avoid an appointment or costly special election if legally permissible given the approaching November election, subject to staff review.
