Parlier Council Slated to Act on Solar Access Deal, $1.83M Check Report, and Towing Ordinance
The Parlier City Council had three meetings scheduled in the past two weeks covering a proposed solar project access agreement, a police-directed towing ordinance, and more than $1.8 million in city checks. Minutes have not yet been published for any of the meetings, so the outcomes below reflect what was on the agendas — not confirmed votes.
Solar Project Access Agreement for 60 Acres Near Wastewater Plant
The Council was scheduled to consider a resolution granting exclusive site control and access to developer Dennis Balakian for 60 acres of property adjacent to the City's Wastewater Treatment Plant. The item appeared on both the June 26 regular meeting agenda and a July 3 special meeting agenda.
Under the proposed agreement, Balakian would evaluate the property for a potential solar photovoltaic and energy storage system. Exclusive access would run through December 31, 2026, unless extended or superseded. The City would incur no financial obligation; the developer bears all costs.
Because minutes are not yet available, it is not confirmed whether the Council approved the resolution.
Towing Rotation Ordinance and Remote Participation Policy
The July 2 agenda included a second reading and adoption of Ordinance No. 02-2026, which would establish a police-directed towing rotation program and regulate towing services in Parlier.
The Council was also scheduled to adopt Resolution No. 2026-70, implementing a remote participation policy to comply with Senate Bill No. 707.
A separate item, Ordinance 2026-03, would amend carport regulations in the municipal code.
$1.83 Million in Checks and Tuolumne Street Project Completion
The July 2 consent calendar included approval of a check report totaling $1,834,621.34. Of that amount, $1,149,547.50 was listed for Cal Valley Construction.
The consent items also included acceptance of completion of the Tuolumne Street Pedestrian Safety Improvements Project and a resolution authorizing temporary street closures for the 2026 Buddhist Community Event.
Consent items are typically approved in a single vote without separate discussion, but without published minutes the outcome is not confirmed.
What Residents Should Know
All three meetings are listed as "agenda only" — meaning the city has posted what the Council planned to consider, but has not yet released minutes showing what was actually decided. Residents who want to confirm any vote, dollar amount, or ordinance adoption should check the City of Parlier's official meeting records or contact City Hall directly.
