September National Preparedness Month Participation

Aligning with the Ready.gov campaign to build awareness and encourage household-level preparedness across Pleasanton through:

Project Prioritization

At the July 15, 2025 City Council Workshop, the City launched a Project Prioritization process to align the Strategic Plan with available resources and staff capacity. Projects were grouped into four categories —Must-Do, Committed Priorities, Strategic Pipeline, and Deferred — to ensure that limited funding and staffing are directed toward the City’s most important needs. This framework directly supports the ONE Pleasanton Strategic Plan, providing a clear path for turning strategies into action.
