Participatory Budgeting Steering Committee - 09-16-2026 - City of Vallejo

The City of Vallejo Participatory Budgeting Steering Committee convened on September 16, 2026, primarily to discuss procedural and organizational matters related to the participatory budgeting process. Key procurement-related topics included the extension of the idea collection phase through October 9, 2026, to allow for more community engagement events, and the formation of an ad hoc committee tasked with revising the participatory budgeting rule book to reflect a two-year cycle and other procedural updates. The committee also addressed the need to update and maintain the budget delegate list for outreach and accountability purposes, with motions passed unanimously to appoint volunteers for this task. Additionally, logistical planning for upcoming community outreach events such as back-to-school nights and National Night Out was discussed, including the management of materials and coordination among committee members. No contract awards, vendor selections, or direct budget allocations were reported during this meeting, but the discussions set the stage for future procurement and budgeting activities related to community projects.
