Brentwood City Council OKs $200M+ Two-Year Budget, New Design Standards

The Brentwood City Council adopted an operating budget exceeding $200 million for the 2026/27 and 2027/28 fiscal years during its June 23 meeting, adding eight staff positions and securing a Sunday library hours agreement with Contra Costa County.

Council Actions

The adopted budget funds eight new city positions, a revised pay schedule, and continued operations. The council also approved a new Parks and Recreation fee schedule with CPI adjustments and authorized a $284,653 pre-design contract with WMB Architects for the Vineyards at Marsh Creek Event Center/Amphitheater.

In separate votes, the council adopted Objective Design Standards for residential and mixed‑use development, a step city officials said is needed to comply with state housing element law. A resolution set temporary compensation for Acting City Manager Terrance Davis.

No vote tallies were available in the meeting agenda.
