2026-06-02 City Council Meeting

The City of Alameda held a City Council meeting on June 2, 2026, which included significant procurement and budget discussions. The council approved designating negotiators for a lease agreement with Longot Space Technologies Corporation for property at 1701 Monarch Street. They also authorized a settlement agreement in litigation with Greenway Golf Associates. A midcycle budget amendment was presented, including workforce changes such as converting some full-time positions to part-time and adding a parking technician position, which was supported due to its revenue-positive potential and public safety benefits. The council discussed the financial challenges posed by potential changes to transfer tax revenues and the use of pension and OPEB trust funds to cover costs. Additionally, the council reviewed and approved a plan for the aquatic center parking lot, including securing off-site parking agreements and considering future paid parking options to manage demand and support climate goals. The meeting also included proclamations and community engagement but no other major procurement actions. The council voted to adopt the midcycle budget amendments with some members expressing caution due to fiscal uncertainties and pending new city manager input.
