Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Union City public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
New city job classifications
Two new classifications — Revenue Coordinator and Junior Accountant — were slated for approval, along with a side letter with OE3 PEG and updates to the compensation plan.
Legislative advocacy and grant research consulting
The council was scheduled to consider hiring Townsend Public Affairs for up to $102,000 to lobby state and federal officials and scout grant money for the city. That spending would only pay off if it helps Union City land funding or favorable legislation.
Ethics training requirements aligned with state law
A proposed ordinance would update Section 2.20.100 of the municipal code so the city's ethics training rules match current state law, mostly affecting elected and appointed officials.
League of California Cities 2026 conference voting position
The council was scheduled to review a League of California Cities annual conference resolution and direct its voting delegate, shaping the city's stance in statewide municipal policy discussions.
Standardized selection of commission chairs and vice chairs
A proposed ordinance would change how Union City's advisory commission chairs and vice chairs are chosen each year, aiming for consistency across bodies. Two committees would get a uniform selection process under a companion resolution.
LLAD No. 3 landscape and lighting assessments
The engineer's report for Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District No. 3 was up for approval, with a June 23, 2026 hearing set on the proposed assessments.
