PLEASANTON — Over the following a number of months, the Pleasanton Metropolis Council will probably be laser-focused on fixing one factor: the town’s price range.

“We need to come up with a longterm solution to address our financial challenges,” Susan Hsieh, Pleasanton’s Monetary Director, instructed the council throughout Thursday night time’s price range workshop.

The council within the first few months of this 12 months will resolve the best way to assault an estimated $100 million deficit over the following eight years. The looming price range disaster comes within the wake of a half-cent tax measure’s failure within the November election, which if handed by voters would have softened the blow of the anticipated monetary hardships to come back.

It’s unclear how a lot the consultants will price, however the metropolis is required to contemplate bids from at the very least three contractors earlier than deciding a most suitable choice, in response to Metropolis Lawyer Daniel Sodergren.

The council Thursday additionally voted unanimously to convene a price range advisory committee of 11 members, which incorporates appointments from all councilmembers and two from Beaudin’s workplace. The committee will advise the council on the best way to cope with its monetary future till it comes up with an official plan this summer time.

Vice Mayor Jeff Nibert on Thursday talked about the town will probably be “in a world of hurt” if it doesn’t determine the best way to deal with the approaching menace of the $200 million in unfunded pension liabilities over the following a number of years. Beaudin stated that the town may wait to cope with that subject after it units a extra urgent two-year price range plan by June.

So far as what the town should lower, Nibert added that “I believe every department in the organization needs to have skin in the game.”

“I don’t think we know what is going to happen. I just don’t know the impact,” Avelar stated in an interview. “It’s too early. Nothing is set in stone.”
