# October 28, 2026, Budget Advisory Committee

The City of Riverbank Budget Advisory Committee met on October 28, 2026, to review the City Council, City Manager, Legal, Economic Development, Administrative Services, and Finance budgets, followed by an overview of the city’s funds and budget document. Procurement-related items included plans to issue an RFP in 2027 for the Sierra House operator contract, which currently runs through September 2027, and to seek proposals from local chambers for economic development services after the city did not renew its prior contract. The city also expects to seek proposals for social media services when its three-year agreement expires next year; the presentation identified Jane Media Services and approximately $54,000 for social media services. Other cited costs included a $40,000 annual audit fee, a $22,000 computer-replacement allocation, and finance technology capital spending budgeted at $10,000. The city reported that it had conducted a banking RFP, with no vendor identified in the transcript.

The committee also discussed general-fund subsidies, utility and infrastructure funds, wastewater and water finances, and possible future sales-tax measures; no tax or budget action was taken. Staff described capital and grant-supported work, including planned ADA walkways at Pioneer Park and a waterline replacement, as well as the city’s review of wastewater infrastructure needs. The only recorded vote was approval of the September 30 committee minutes; no contract award or procurement approval was recorded. A possible sales-tax increase was discussed as requiring voter approval, but no recommendation or decision was made.
