Help Give the Lil Guys and Gals and even better place to play!
In 2006 the city purchased the storm drain basin (4 lots) next to the park and filled it in with the intent of making it a park to service the ball park participants and their families. Since then, Lil Guys and Gals field has been a ball park used for many years by the residents of Livingston.
The Recreation Commission determined in 2011 to take on the park as a project. The commission wanted to involve the community and let them help bring this project to reality. By purchasing a stepping stone the community not only provides the financing for the park, but in turn places a personal monument in the park for years to come.
Stones will be sold until there are enough sales to cover the completion of the park. The Commission’s goal is Summer of 2012.
Once you have purchased a stone you will be called by the Recreation Department for an appointment to make/create your stone.
If you are interested in creating a Memorial Stone and/or participating in one of the many work days that will take place to upgrade the park, call the Recreation Office at 394-8830 for more information.
And Don’t forget that Tri-Tip Dinner! Proceeds go to help the Park!

If You’ve Been a Regular City Council Meeting Agenda Watcher
you’ve noticed this Brand Spankin’ New Addition to City Council Meeting Agendas:
CITIZEN COMMENTS – NOTE: Public Comment/Speaker Cards are now available on the back table of the City Council Chambers. Please fill out the appropriate card and submit to Meeting Recorder.
and some of your may be wondering “What the Heck?” and “Whose Idea Was This?”
And I can think of a few Recall Supporters whose very first reaction to the idea might well be “Card? You mean I have to fill out a stinkin Card if I want to say something during a Council Meeting?”
This could be fun!
You see…while the use of Comment Cards to “speed the process of Public Comments along and/or “give people who don’t like to speak in public” an alternative to “speaking publically” isn’t necessarily a violation of the Brown Act and/or the First Amendment, so long as EVERYBODY has to use them..
Using those cards to limit “who gets to talk about what and when” is a whole nuther ball game.
So is “letting friends/supporters” of Council Members have their say, but “forgetting” to let “the other side” have their say too. (oops! where did that card go! we bad!)
Which means…. all those other folks who have complained in the past about other City Council persons “not wanting to listen to the people” will have to show up to the meetings in time to fill out those cards too!
Just like everybody else…
Come to think of it..Which could get real “interesting” come Prop 218 Hearing time
And the next Election Cycle 
If You’ve Been a Regular City Council Meeting Agenda Watcher, You’ve also noticed
that negotiations with the City Employees Bargaining Units seem to be dragging on just a “tad”: matter of fact, Closed Sessions Items about this have been canceled at least twice.
Last year, Extensions of MOU’s (Memorandum of Understandings) with the vast majority of Employee Bargaining Units was adopted by a 5-0 vote of the City Council at the July 6, 2010 Council Meeting as the following Consent Calendar Items:
6. Resolution No. 2010-35, Approving an Extension of the Current Memorandum of Understanding Between the City of Livingston and the City of Livingston Clerical Employees Association.
7. Resolution No. 2010-36, Approving an Extension of the Current Memorandum of Understanding Between the City of Livingston and the City of Livingston Management and Confidential Employees Association.
8. Resolution No. 2010-37, Approving an Extension of the Current Memorandum of Understanding Between the City of Livingston and the Livingston Police Officers’ Association.
9. Resolution No. 2910-38, Approving an Extension of the Current Memorandum of Understanding Between the City of Livingston and the City of Livingston Public Works and Parks Employees Unit.
10. Resolution No. 2010-39, Approving an Extension of the Current Memorandum of Understanding Between the City of Livingston and the Livingston Supervisory Employees Association.
11. Resolution No. 2010-40, Approving an Extension of the Current Understandings Between the City of Livingston and the City of Livingston Unrepresented Employees not Associated with any City Bargaining Union.
And If memory serves me correctly, nobody got a raise (or if they did, it wasn’t much of one – correct me if I’m wrong – Please)
Sooooooo….last year, it was all “done” by July…let’s see…July, August, September, October, November?, December?
And don’t try to tell me it’s because “we just hired a New City Manager” and a “New Assistant City Manager Either” either…
Unless the Council has had it’s collective head up a very dark place, they all knew the Fiscal Year ended on June 30th and they had an Acting City Manager who has been here way long enough to have at least gotten the process started!
Which Reminds Me
If you would like a “brief snapshot” of what has been on the City Council’s Plant for the past few months, you can go to my 2011 CITY COUNCIL Agendas and Meeting Minutes Page.
There, you will find links to Agendas, Draft Minutes, Staff Reports, Resolutions, Ordinances and other “back up documentation”. No…it’s not “everything-everything-everything, but it’s enough to give you a good idea about “where we’ve been” and where we might be going in the future.

THERE WAS A PUBLIC HEARING – at City Hall on March 29, 2016 and lasted from about 11am to nearly 1pm. The purpose of the Hearing/meeting was to Brainstorm Ideas for the next Community Development Block Grant Application. 
What .. a..mess..It might not have been quite as much of a mess if half the Parking Lot had not been blocked off.
But we’ve gotten used to it. More or less. I bet many of you hardly even notice anymore that the Parking Lot to the left of Dollar Mart is blocked off. (That’s about 24 spaces. Right?) If the parallel parking in the Downtown is full, most people seem to adapt by parking in the Rite Aide parking lot or the Parking Lot in front of Mountain Mikes and Liberty Market.
ONCE UPON A TIME….A few months or so ago, while my husband and I were out and about, I noticed the Jewelry Store that had occupied the (now empty) building next to the Fiesta Mkt. had been replaced by a business called Novedades. At the time, my husband told me some people he knew had bought the building and the parking lot at an auction. He wasn’t sure of all the details: just that they had bought the building so they could open their own business.
It only seemed like a few short months later when Novedades moved to a different building. (Previously occupied by the Third Street Armory) And not too terribly long after that, the piece of the parking lot that was attached to the building Novedades had moved from, was closed off.
THE DEMOLITION OF THE COURT THEATER
I’m going to interrupt the Staff Report at this point to add a few more details. ….In Fiscal Year 2008, the City used its Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) to complete the architectural drawings for the Court Theater renovation. It also applied for another $1 million Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and a low-interest loan from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to help provide funds for the Court Theater Restoration Project. Total cost of the Court Theater restoration was estimated at that time to be $7,652,672. (2008-2009 Budget p. 344)
From what I understand, the City planned to save the marquee, ticket booth, and Court Sign. I went out the day the marquee came down and was informed that because of corrosion and other structural issues with the sign, City workers would be unable to take the sign down. …It is still hoped that the sign can still be saved….
THE LIVINGSTON-DELHI VFW AND LADIES AUXILIARY are very proud to announce that their entry into the Patriot’s Pen Essay Contest not only won first place at the District level but has gone on to win first at the State Level. ….Lenna Foster is a sixth grade student at St. Anthony’s school in Atwater California. We are very proud of Lenna and look forward to seeing her in Sacramento at the Voice of Democracy Banquet on Friday, January 18th.
