Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in San Ramon public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Public Works Bid — Senior Center Handrail Replacement
San Ramon is taking bids to replace about 630 feet of outdoor handrails at the Alcosta Senior & Community Center. Bids are due to City Hall by December 3, and construction is set to start in March 2027. It’s a routine safety and accessibility upgrade for a busy senior facility.
Election Endorsements
This is a letters-to-the-editor push: locals are weighing in on a Pleasanton council endorsement for Kathy Narum and a hotel tax hike called Measure HH, with a Monday deadline to submit. If you care about elections or local taxes, the takeaway is that public input is being solicited now—though the item is more about Pleasanton than San Ramon.
Election Candidates
San Ramon has locked in its final list of mayoral and City Council candidates. If you care about how the city runs, this is your ballot lineup—so check who’s running before you vote.
Local Elections
San Ramon’s city council race is actually contested this November, so you’ll have real choices on your ballot instead of a done deal. That means voters get a say in who runs the city and what gets prioritized.
City Fee Changes
San Ramon is considering changing its city fee schedule, with some fees going down and new ones being added. Whether it helps or hurts you depends on which city services you use, so it’s worth paying attention before the council finalizes anything.
Mixed-use Master Plan
San Ramon’s CityWalk Master Plan sets the playbook for how the area around City Center grows, including mixed-use development. If you care about downtown vibes, housing, shops, walkability, or traffic, this is one to watch.
