Stockton City Hall officials will consider a new transportation master plan, an ADA transition plan and $10,546,981 in carry-forward spending when the City Council meets at 1 p.m. Oct. 27 at city hall, 501 W. Weber Ave. A closed session will follow the regular meeting.
Among the biggest items:
- Transportation: The council will consider adopting Stockton's 2026 Transportation Master Plan and finding its adoption exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act. Agenda materials include the draft plan and a presentation.
- Accessibility: Council members will consider adopting an updated ADA Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan. The proposed plan addresses requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

- Housing programs: Council members are scheduled to receive Stockton's 2025-26 performance report covering U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development entitlement programs. The CAPER is among the agenda materials.

- Interim city clerk: The council also will meet in closed session to discuss public employment for the interim city clerk position.
