Community reinvestment program
Council agreed to set a six-month deadline for businesses that have qualified for participation in the Community Reinvestment Program to complete the application process. Last year, 28 applications were submitted for the total $250,000 reimbursement program; 17 applicants were judged qualified, but only three completed applications, and just $38,000 in reimbursements has been committed.
CalPERS deduction
The Council voted to complete an earlier commitment to city employees related to Cost of Living adjustments, by authorizing a 2 percent pre-tax deduction for public employee pension fund contributions.
Street renaming
The Council directed staff to prepare, for a future meeting, all the details related to renaming a very small segment of El Paseo Drive leading to Veterans Park, to Veterans Way.
