# October 20, 2026 City Council Meeting

The October 20, 2026 Paso Robles City Council meeting included several procurement and infrastructure matters. On the consent calendar, the Council unanimously approved routine items, including a construction contract with Carbon Supply Inc. for granular activated carbon replacement at the surface water treatment plant; the contract amount was not stated. The warrant register reported $1,948,356 in payments since the prior check-in, including $249,447.37 to United Field Service Corporation for the Golden Hill tank recoating project and $165,596.45 to Best Best & Krieger for legal invoices. Staff also reported that converting approximately 1.5 acres of non-functional turf may require about $80,000 for city-owned sites, with a potential request to return during the mid-year budget review; landscape-and-lighting-district conversions are expected to use contractors and district reserves.

The Council voted 3–2 to direct staff to accept proposals for the potential disposition of the Pioneer Park parcel at 1910 Riverside Avenue for projects of cultural significance, with proposals due January 19, 2027. Submissions are to describe the project, site plan, timeline, operations and maintenance, treatment of the skate park, restrooms and parking, shared utilities, and proposed purchase price. The action does not commit the City to a sale; the parks master-planning process remains in place, and any disposition would remain subject to applicable Surplus Land Act requirements. The Council also received a Public Works organizational assessment prepared by Raftelis, selected through a competitive proposal process. Its recommendations include staffing, equipment, and process investments, but no positions or additional funding were approved; any spending or staffing requests must return through the budget process.
