Recent updates from Governing Board
Staff presented a Calistoga-based draft regulating time, place and manner with an annual permit; council urged one permit class, a start-small approach and a one-year review.
Why it matters: The rules would for the first time require every food truck, including at town events and private parties, to register, balancing community events, restaurants and generator noise.
Council accepted the annual AB 481 report and renewed Policy 708 covering Moraga's less-lethal beanbag shotgun, unused since 2022.
Why it matters: The chief flagged a possible 40mm larger beanbag system that must return to council before purchase, while a resident warned about escalating weapons.
Council members reported on events and the mayor outlined County Connection's Youth Ride Free results, e-bike pilot limits and a December 1 wildfire funding deadline.
Why it matters: A 1,700% ridership jump supports a year-round program, and wildfire projects must be identified by December 1 for Senator Grayson's introduced budget.
Council reclassified the administrative services director as assistant town manager/administrative services director, raising the range 10.8% to $209,208-$254,352 effective October 18.
Why it matters: It formalizes the deputy for acting-manager duties, previously informal and sometimes the police chief.
Council authorized applying to the Prop 4-funded Statewide Parks Program, likely for the St. Mary's Road linear park, with a December 17 deadline.
Why it matters: The grant requires no match and Moraga qualifies via climate-resilience criteria, offering a way to fund master plan projects.
A federally funded, roughly $600,000 contract with Kimley-Horn selected through public RFP will study extending School Street toward St. Mary's Road and Moraga Road.
Why it matters: Landowner cooperation, including the Brisoni family, is critical; the study will produce engineering and cost estimates for a link considered key to developing the area.
Council adopted an ordinance letting the town manager appoint the treasurer after Woehleke questioned independence and staff described common practice.
Why it matters: The manager, not an independent treasurer, will be responsible for investments, and the town manager carries a fiduciary obligation under state statute.
Chief King promoted Corporals Angela Lycos and Craig Walker to sergeant and reported falling Part 1 crime and new radio and DUI grants.
Why it matters: Sergeants were downgraded to corporals during budget stress and the rank was recommended for return by an outside organizational assessment.
