Councilmembers voted to block further franchise requests tied to the West Pico drilling site, which prevents Pacific Coast Energy from starting a new pipeline franchise connected to that site. They approved steps to study and reduce health and environmental risks from PFAS chemicals and to move away from synthetic turf toward drought‑friendly landscaping. Several Safe, Clean Water (Measure W) reports and an amended Water & Power conservation report were approved, which advances planning and funding work for local stormwater and watershed projects. A few items — including regional infrastructure updates and detailed PFAS response strategies — were continued for more review, so final decisions on those will come later.
