City of Pleasant Hill - City Council Meeting Continued - August 3, 2026

The City of Pleasant Hill City Council meeting on August 3, 2026, included detailed discussions on police department budget requests and a professional services contract for citywide speed surveys. The police department requested funding allocations from CLESAA funds totaling approximately $115,000 for various needs including a dispatch supervisor salary ($30,000), organizational wellness programs ($20,000), license plate reader camera system upgrades ($35,000 additional), unmanned aerial systems training and equipment ($20,000), and training equipment ($10,000). Council members inquired about the use and security of license plate reader data, funding strategies, and potential expansion of camera use for traffic enforcement. Additionally, the council considered a resolution to authorize a professional services agreement with DKS for engineering services to conduct required speed surveys citywide, with a contract amount just under the $50,000 budgeted in the capital improvement plan. The speed surveys are mandated by California Vehicle Code every seven years to support lawful speed limit enforcement. The consultant selection followed an RFP process with one proposal received and accepted. The meeting included clarifications on survey methodology, data use, and integration with other city traffic safety initiatives. The council voted to approve the police department funding requests and moved forward with the DKS contract for speed surveys.
