August 18, 2026 - Tracy City Council Meetings

The City of Tracy City Council held a special meeting on August 18, 2026, which included a closed session to settle litigation related to aquatic property, resulting in an $8 million payment to support construction of an aquatic center. The council also received a detailed update on the city's Pavement Management Program, discussing current road conditions, recent and upcoming rehabilitation projects, and budget scenarios ranging from $500,000 to $36 million annually to improve pavement condition index (PCI). Additionally, the council reviewed the Citywide Energy Upgrade Program and the state's zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) transition mandate. Staff presented three options for EV infrastructure investment, including a $3.6 million project for charging stations at city facilities, a $500,000 portable charging solution, and deferring infrastructure to be included in a broader energy audit. The council expressed interest in pursuing the portable charging option as an interim measure and requested further evaluation of costs and grant opportunities before committing to larger expenditures. Motions were passed to support the portable charging option up to $500,000 and to continue exploring funding and implementation strategies for the energy upgrade and EV infrastructure projects. Other topics included cannabis business regulation amendments, public safety reports on fireworks enforcement, and community concerns about road conditions and sustainability initiatives.
