East Cypress Road Widening
A resident on East Cypress Road, where wells and septic systems are packed close together, asked the city to consider adding water and sewer stubs while nearby construction work is underway — warning that lowered groundwater could affect area wells.
Tri Delta Transit Service Reductions in Oakley
Councilmember Williams pushed back at a BART workshop on proposed cuts to far East County, noting BART logged 55 million trips in 2025 and projected deficits could still hit $70 million even if a funding measure passes.
