RECOMMENDATION Receive a report on the project prioritization framework and provide direction to staff on City Council priorities for project implementation. BACKGROUND In alignment with the ONE Pleasanton Strategic Plan and ongoing budget implementation and planning efforts, City staff have developed a comprehensive project prioritization framework to ensure resources are allocated effectively and transparently. This framework supports the City Council's commitment to fiscal sustainability while maintaining essential services and advancing strategic initiatives. The project prioritization process incorporates the seven City Council priority strategies identified during the January 29, 2025 retreat and the Pleasanton Executive Team workshop held on May 28, 2025 where major projects for each department were discussed, and the four- tiered project priority framework was developed. This systematic approach ensures that project selection aligns with both community needs and fiscal resources. Seven City Council Priorities for Fiscal Year (FY) 2025/26 1. Goal A.
