Pleasanton commission votes unanimously to form subcommittee for 2027 library‑card design contest

A commissioner moved to establish an ad hoc subcommittee to oversee the 2027 library‑card design contest; another commissioner seconded the motion and the commission approved it unanimously by a show‑of‑hands vote. Staff emphasized timing constraints for design and printing and noted that final decisions must be made in time to print cards for a September launch aligned with Library Card Sign‑up Month.

Commissioners discussed subcommittee logistics: the city’s practice is to keep ad hoc groups below a quorum (three members for a seven‑member commission) to avoid public‑meeting notice requirements. Several commissioners volunteered to serve; staff will confirm whether alternates may be named and will return with the formal subcommittee roster and timeline. The motion, recorded in the meeting transcript, stated: "I motion to establish a subcommittee for the library card design contest," and the vote was recorded as unanimous.
