At the start of the meeting the council approved the consent agenda but held items 6 and 12 for clarification. Council member Liz Silva asked about a SPCA invoice (check no. 52984) for $6,370 for September 2025 that staff reports listed as 8 animals transported; the SPCA invoice attached to the staff packet showed 26 animals for the month, driving the higher charge.

City staff said the SPCA invoice lists shelter drop‑offs and transports and that some animals are brought in by residents and may be recorded differently in internal reports. Staff agreed to reconcile the differences between the staff report and the SPCA invoice and return with details. A county/region conversation is ongoing about shelter location and costs for South County municipalities.

On street projects (Item 12), council asked for status on TAMSI alternatives for 5th Street and enforcement of a 5th Street truck ban. Staff reported the contract was executed, Caltrans encroachment permit obtained, contractor submittals received and that sign installation could occur in December. Council also asked about GIS assistance to map aging sewer lines; staff confirmed mapping and condition assessment are priorities and included in contracts for manhole rehab.

Council directed staff to provide the SPCA invoice reconciliation and to bring future contract approvals and budget amendments for streets and sewer projects back to council as needed.
