With the holiday season behind us, local East County City Council meetings start back up and it’s a busy night in East Contra Costa County as there is plenty on the agendas that may peak ones interest. Here is a sneak peak at tonight’s meetings.
Keep in mind, these are not all of the agenda items, just the ones we feel may may be most interesting to our readers.
Antioch:
- Adopt a revised ordinance of the Antioch Municipal Code regarding animals. This will add further regulations regarding animals—such as tweaking the permit process for multiple pets or kennels, and make certain acts such as feeding feral cats off ones property unlawful.
- With the city clerk’s absence for nearly 3-months, the council will tackle a policy that if an elected official is absent for one-month, they are encourages to return the salary, car allowance and communication allowance to the city for the absent period. The City Clerk is paid $941.20 per month in salary and $350 monthly car allowance.
Brentwood
- Will report out of closed session (potentially) the evaluation of the Brentwood City Manager
- Will likely approve a resolution to adjust the Budget and Finance Policy to allow for over staffing of up to four sworn police positions.
Discovery Bay
- Cancelled: Their meeting scheduled for Wednesday January 15 has been cancelled and they will next meet on Wednesday January 22 at 7:00 pm.
Oakley:
- Proclamation and recognition will be issued to outgoing Oakley Police Chief Bani Kollo who took a promotion within the Sheriffs Department. They will recognize him for his service since 2010.
- Discussion on the future of police services and possibility of forming its own police department due to the increasing cost of the service from the Contra Costa County Sheriffs office.
- Discussion regarding the CentroMart Building. Rumor has it the status of DG Market has changed. Little information is currently available.

antioch city council/ city clerk also have a “cafeteria” ( phone, mileage) plan, which covers health insurance, life insurance etc. all in all, our elected officials actually triple their “income” . city council budget is $ 155,000
the issue of long absentees/ pay is nothing new. our city clerk took also over 2 month long “vacation” during his council member times. the question needs to be ask, did he get paid during those times, if yes, why, and/ or did he pay back the money.?
Antioch city clerk should pay ALL his money back. This is worse than the pleasnt hill lady.
Nothing is worse than the PH lady
there must be other ways to get somebody out of a elected position then a recall?
You can drive them out by starting a recall, spreading rumors, misleading people and creating lots and lots of false accusations. In the end you can even “fudge the numbers”. It’s so great not to have even a smidge of accountability.
Just make up stuff Karl, it worked for me!
Mr Dietzel, I suggest you read up on how all of this works. You don’t like how it works find a way to change it.
The man is paying all the money back. i have seen worse mistakes made in all of East County.
Check out the stuff Mr. Montgomery got caught up in.
Karl,
The way the politicos do it is find some dirt on him or skeletons in his closet. The put him down, disgrace him, lie, and talk behind his back.It works all the time in Discovery Bay. A recall is too drawn out and normal.The back door way in politics garners better results.
Regarding peoples abuse of codes in Antioch. Thank God we are looking at his as feral cats are on the increase and destroying properties. Also hordings of other pets causing oder and noise is a serious problem.
