Active transportation committee cast sole formal votes; council budget decisions, land-use plans remain ahead
In the past two weeks, only one Fresno government meeting resulted in a recorded vote. The Active Transportation Advisory Committee met June 24, 2026, and approved its meeting agenda and April 22, 2026, minutes by identical 6–0 tallies. No substantive policy or infrastructure actions were taken; the session also included departmental presentations on grade separations and traffic reports.
City Council budget and contracts hearings
Meeting agendas indicate the City Council convened twice for budget work and other business, though minutes have not yet been published. On June 23, the agenda called for finalizing the fiscal year 2027 municipal budget, adopting the FY 2027 Salary and Position Authorization resolutions, passing a property tax override ordinance, setting the FY 2026–2027 GANN Appropriation Limit, and approving the program income budget for the Fresno Revitalization Corporation.
A June 25 council meeting agenda listed continued budget hearings alongside several spending items: a $1,057,635 independent auditing services contract with The Pun Group, LLP; a $2,096,464 purchase of a Smeal aerial fire apparatus for the Fire Department; and a City Hall Cafe lease agreement with Culinary Studios, Inc. Also on that agenda were a rezoning application for 3.30 acres on East Barstow Avenue, adoption of the 2025 Urban Water Management Plan and Water Shortage Contingency Plan, and an extension for the Courtyard by Marriott hotel project at Inyo and M Street.
Planning Commission land-use items
The Planning Commission agenda for July 1, 2026, listed several development proposals: a 53-lot single-unit residential subdivision near East Copper Avenue and North Portofino Drive, an approximately 3,500-square-foot automated car wash on East Copper Avenue, and a rezoning of 3.3 acres on the south side of East Barstow Avenue. Commissioners were also scheduled to elect a chair and vice chair and adopt a resolution of appreciation for Peter Vang and David Criner.
