Natural Gas Rates for 2026-2027 Approved by City Council
The Fremont City Council passed Ordinance 5744 on second reading, establishing natural gas rates for the Fremont Department of Utilities for 2026 and 2027. Utility Manager Jeff Shanahan explained that no changes were made to the rates themselves, but the ordinance was updated to reflect the current rates for one year, as it was not expected to change in the subsequent ordinance. The ordinance repeals conflicting regulations.
City Renews Contract with Keep Fremont Beautiful for Beautification Efforts
The Fremont City Council authorized the mayor to sign a renewed services agreement with Keep Fremont Beautiful for $16,000 per year.

The organization highlighted its expanded programs and significant impact, including recycling tons of tires and paper, and recycling electronics.
