ANDREW’S ANNOUNCEMENTS A MESSAGE FROM THE CITY MANAGER

Hello Vallejo The City is off to a fast start in the new year! The City Council held its first meeting of 2026 on Tuesday, where it thanked outgoing Vice Mayor Peter Bregenzer and welcomed Councilmember Diosdado “JR” Matulac as the new Vice Mayor. Congratulations to Vice Mayor Matulac on this new role.

At the meeting, the Council approved an agreement for the Broadway Navigation Center to serve as a warming shelter for unhoused individuals that will be open every night through March 31, 2026. Previously, the City only opened a warming center during specific weather conditions, which made it difficult for those in need to plan for and access it. By offering nightly shelter, we hope to increase awareness, participation, and provide additional services to help individuals transition into stable housing.

The City Council also voted to temporarily pause homeless encampment clean-ups for one month to help ensure that the upcoming Point In Time (PIT) count is accurate. The PIT count is a nationwide census of individuals experiencing homelessness, which helps determine funding for Vallejo and communities across 2

the country. While the temporary pause is in place, City staff will conduct additional trash removal from encampments and coordinate outreach by service providers to encampment residents. We still need volunteers to assist with the PIT count, which will occur on January 29, 2026. You can learn more and sign up in this week’s edition of The Weekly.

We’re also excited to introduce Brad Paul as Vallejo’s new Interim Economic Development Director. Brad brings a wealth of experience to the role, and we’re thrilled to have him on board.

Finally, this weekend we celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day here in Vallejo and across the nation. Several events are planned throughout the city to honor Dr. King’s legacy and his contributions to civil rights.

We encourage you to join us in these meaningful celebrations. Details can be found in this issue of The Weekly.

With Appreciation Andrew Murray City Manager

Meet Vallejo’s Interim Economic Development Director

City Manager Andrew Murray is pleased to announce the appointment of Brad Paul as the City’s Interim Economic Development Director. Brad brings extensive experience and a deep understanding of regional economic development to the role, and we are excited to have him leading the department as we begin 2026.

Most recently, Brad served as Deputy Director and Acting Director of the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG), and later as Deputy Executive Director for Local Government Services with the consolidated ABAG/Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) staff. In these roles, he oversaw key regional programs, including: • Bay Area Housing Finance Authority • San Francisco Estuary Partnership • Bay Area Regional Energy Network (BayREN) • And other initiatives supporting local governments across the region Brad’s career spans the nonprofit and private sectors, government, academia, and philanthropy, giving him a unique perspective on economic development and community engagement.

Speaking about his new role, Brad shared: “I’m excited to step into this position, given the incredible assets Vallejo offers to new businesses and those looking to expand.

From its historic architecture and waterfront location to its high-speed ferry service and Mare Island, Vallejo is well-positioned for growth.

Coupled with a strong talent pipeline from Cal Poly Maritime Academy, Touro University, and Solano Community College—and some of the most affordable commercial and residential property remaining in the Bay Area—Vallejo is truly an attractive destination for investment.”

City Manager Andrew Murray added: “Brad’s combination of experience and skills makes him an excellent fit for Vallejo. His leadership will strengthen our engagement with the broader Bay Area community and help us build a robust Economic Development Department as we continue our search for a permanent director.”

Please join us in welcoming Brad Paul to the Vallejo community.
