# Regular Council Meeting Sept  16 2026

The Santan Valley Town Council held a regular meeting on September 16, 2026, where several procurement-related items were discussed and approved. The council approved a consent agenda including an intergovernmental agreement with the Town of Florence for municipal court services, a contract with Burgess and Niple for a traffic study related to a proposed traffic signal on Gary Road, a contract with Northstar Communications for traffic signal system assessment and potential upgrades, and an on-call contract with Quality Testing for geotechnical and materials testing services to ensure construction quality. Additionally, the council discussed the upcoming Proposition 411 ballot measure to permanently adjust the town's expenditure limitation base, which would increase the town's spending ceiling to approximately $850 million starting fiscal year 2028. The council also reviewed a proposed Adopt-a-Road volunteer program aimed at community engagement in roadside litter removal, with plans to launch in November 2026. Furthermore, the council deliberated on establishing a formal process for appointing members to boards, commissions, and committees, including the immediate need to appoint members to the Board of Adjustment. No votes were taken on the appointment process policy, but direction was given to staff to return with recommendations. Public comments included support for a botanical garden and concerns about data centers. The meeting concluded with a motion to convene into executive session.
