An Alameda County Superior Court judge is urging the Board of Supervisors to allocate $3 million to sustain a pilot program that assists out-of-custody defendants awaiting trial. The judge described the program as successful in providing support that could reduce incarceration rates, linking to the ongoing debate over homelessness funding versus incarceration strategies. This plea was reported by KTVU FOX 2 on September 24, 2026.

While Livermore City Council has not met recently, its last meetings were in July and August, with no immediate new sessions scheduled soon. Residents following public safety and justice issues may want to watch the Alameda County Public Protection Committee meeting happening today, which could influence funding decisions related to the judge’s request. Other local tracked issues in Livermore include housing and infrastructure debates, but no fresh city council actions have been reported recently.
