City of Hollister City Council Meeting

The City of Hollister City Council held a regular meeting on June 1, 2026, where several procurement and contract-related matters were discussed. Key procurement topics included the approval of FAA grant applications for airport layout plan updates and safety improvements, with a focus on leveraging bipartisan infrastructure law funds. The council also reviewed and approved a one-year contract extension amendment with Violia Services Incorporated for sewer system management, emphasizing increased oversight, accountability, and the potential for a future RFP to explore alternative vendors. Additionally, the council considered a conditional use permit for Grocery Outlet to expand its alcoholic beverage license from type 20 to type 21, including conditions for enhanced security measures such as additional cameras and a recommendation for enclosed liquor storage to prevent theft. Budget discussions highlighted the importance of maintaining public safety funding amid staffing challenges and the need for fiscal discipline due to economic uncertainties. No votes were taken on new large capital projects, but motions passed included the consent agenda items (except one pulled item), approval of the conditional use permit with conditions, and the Violia contract amendment.
