Pinole for Fair Government

Hello fellow Pinoleans and friends of Pinole! My name is Rafael Menis, and
I am sending out this newsletter in an effort to fill the engagement gap in
Pinole. I will be sending these out when there are events or topics I think
the community should be more engaged with. If you would like to
unsubscribe, reply with the Subject line Unsubscribe and I will remove you
from the list.

Friday 1-31 and Saturday, 2-1- Special Pinole City Council meeting, 9 AM-4PM, in person at Rockefeller Lodge (2650 Market Ave, San Pablo CA 94806). This item is a bit unusual- there's a special council team-building workshop being held on the 31st and the 1st, from 9 AM to 4 PM on both days (see https://pinoleca.portal.civicclerk.com/event/1029/files/agenda/776 and https://pinoleca.portal.civicclerk.com/event/1030/files/agenda/777 for their agenda files, though there's minimal information there). It looks like attendance is in person only, at Rockefeller Lodge – 2650 Market Avenue, San Pablo, CA 94806. You can file written comment for Saturday's meeting at least at "Written Comments:
All comments received before 3:00 pm the day before the meeting will be posted on the City’s website on the
agenda page (Agenda Page Link) and provided to the City Council prior to the meeting. Written comments will not
be read aloud during the meeting. Email comments to [email protected] Please indicate which item on the
agenda you are commenting on in the subject line of your email."

The relevant agenda item states "CITY COUNCIL RETREAT
The City Council will meet on 1/31 and 2/1 to discuss Council Priorities for 2025 and participate in
teambuilding activities. The teambuilding retreat will be facilitated by City Manager, Kelcey Young
and attended by key City staff members."

As always, if you have questions, feedback, or ways you think the city can be better feel free to write back to this address.

Thanks for your time,

Rafael

After a year of community and stakeholder engagement through the Walk and Roll Pinole initiative, the City is proud to release a public review draft of its Active Transportation Plan (ATP). The ATP will be a blueprint to enhance a safe transportation network for residents and visitors to walk, bike, and scoot.

The ATP will also place the City in a good position to receive grant funding. An ATP brings co-benefits such as health and economic benefits for active transporters as well as environmental benefits from reduced driving. REVIEW the draft Active Transportation Plan: https://pinolespeaks.com/r8547
