# 10-07-2026 Regular City Council Mtg.

The City of Soledad Regular City Council meeting on October 7, 2026, included procurement- and budget-related actions concerning staffing, a grant award, and the Miramonte Specific Plan. Council approved a salary adjustment for the wastewater plant shift-supervisor classification after a salary survey and union discussions; staff said savings from the vacant position could absorb the cost without a budget amendment. A council member also recognized the Recreation and Parks Department for securing a California Arts Council Arts and Youth Program grant of $16,862. Council approved holiday-period closures of community center programming and fitness services, citing reduced staffing and low attendance; staff said the facility would remain available for emergencies. The discussion included requests for attendance and budget data and for public notice of the closures.

Council adopted Resolution 6431 accepting fire-station and police-substation requirements and standards, and Resolution 6432 accepting the Miramonte parks and landscape master plan, both as technical documents for a future development agreement. The plans establish a framework for costing and financing future public-safety facilities, parks, trails, and landscaping; the comprehensive financing plan and development agreement will return for council review, and no construction contract or vendor award was made. Council members raised questions about project phasing, financing, public input, accessibility, and maintenance. Separately, the council unanimously supported Proposition 1, a proposed $11.25 billion state housing bond, and opposed Proposition 43, which would raise the voter-approval threshold for local special taxes.
