(SAN RAMON, Calif.) — School transportation, regional vanpool funding and evaluations of two top city officials were among the matters on the San Ramon City Council's Nov. 10 meeting agenda.
The council considered two agreements with the Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA) to support transportation programs aimed at reducing traffic congestion and vehicle emissions.
One agreement would provide Transportation Fund for Clean Air funding for the TRAFFIX school bus program, which serves students in San Ramon and surrounding communities. The program offers families an alternative to driving children to school, helping reduce traffic around campuses during busy morning and afternoon hours.
A second agreement would support the Southwest Area Transportation regional vanpool program, which encourages commuters to share rides rather than drive separately.
Both agreements were included on the council's consent calendar, where routine business is generally considered together.

Celebrating 30 Years of Jazz
The meeting also featured a proclamation recognizing the 30th anniversary of the San Ramon Library Foundation Jazz Series.
The concert series has brought musicians and audiences together for three decades, becoming a familiar part of the city's cultural calendar.
This year's remaining performances include the John Santos Latin Quartet on Nov. 14 and Rob Dehlinger's Alpha Rhythm Kings on Dec. 4.
Both concerts are scheduled for 7:30 p.m. at the San Ramon Library.

The council also scheduled closed-session discussions concerning the annual performance evaluations of the city manager and city attorney.
Mayor Mark Armstrong and Vice Mayor Marisol Rubio were designated as the city's representatives for negotiations involving salary and compensation for both positions.
The evaluations are part of the council's oversight responsibilities. Under California law, certain personnel evaluations and compensation negotiations may be conducted in closed session.
The Nov. 10 agenda illustrates the range of matters handled by the council, from transportation services affecting local families and commuters to cultural recognition and oversight of city administration.
