The Public Works Director oversees general Park maintenance and activities. The Park has several contract service personnel and vendors that manage various activities at the park.
Park Event Services are typically provided via contract. With the departure of Catered Too, temporary personnel have been contracted to manage all park events and rental services, to include rental of fields, buildings, and picnic areas until a permanent vendor is contracted. MCE provides facility support on a Task Order basis.
BrightView Landscaping provides landscape maintenance services for the park. Player Capital provides management and general maintenance of the six Tennis Courts.
There are three (3) structures available for event rental at the park – the Carriage House, the Main House, and the Pavilion. Outdoor venues may also be rented, and these include the Event Garden, Water Tower Green and North Meadow. Picnic areas in the park may be reserved for small group day rental. Menlo Atherton Little League manages and maintains the Willie Mays Ball Field.

Response Times
In general, there are 3 types of Calls for Service from the Police Department. In order of priority:
High, Medium, and Low.
High Priority calls are in-progress events where persons or high-value property are in immediate danger and require a multiple officer response. This is a lights and siren response to a crime in progress, injury collision, or medical emergency.
Medium Priority calls are in-progress events without immediate danger to persons or property.
Multiple officers may be necessary for these calls. These calls take precedence over all other calls for service and require an immediate police response (non-lights and siren), but the incident may not be in progress. The most common medium priority calls are burglary, robbery, sexual assault, and residential burglary alarm activations. The latter is the most frequent call in Atherton.
Low Priority calls are other calls for service. Events that may no longer be in-progress, so immediate response is not as urgent. Normally requires a single officer. Officers may or may not be immediately dispatched to these calls. Low priority calls are dogs off leash the Park, parking violations, construction noise or activity, and follow-up police reports.
During the Reporting Period there were:
Priority Level Number of Calls Average Response Time Goal High 5 2:38 <4 minutes
Medium 256 7:17 <6 minutes
Low 240 4:23 <8 minutes
Response times are calculated from the time the call is dispatched until the time the officer arrives on the scene. The table below depicts the Department’s Medium Priority response times for the past 6 months.

REIMAGINE DUMBARTON STUDY
Town of Atherton City Council Regular Meeting – May 20, 2026
Public Works Director Ovadia presented report on the Reimagine Dumbarton Study. Council asked clarifying questions regarding the purpose of the potential project.
Council raised concerns with the possibility of the potential for Bus Rapid Transit bus stops creating SB79 transit zones that would affect properties within Atherton. Council also indicated that they would be strongly in favor of this project if it were decoupled from SB79, but as long as it is they are only in favor of a bike/ped pathway with no buses.
Staff directed to draft a letter conveying strong support of the Dumbarton Corridor being used for bicycle and pedestrian use, with opposition to Bus Rapid Transit under the current SB 79 and a conditional willingness to evaluate bus service if SB 79 is amended to not apply to the Dumbarton Corridor. Council also requested that language be included requesting that the Legislature consider exempting all new transit projects like this from SB 79.
9. GILMORE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT SITE DISCUSSION
Town Planner Bendix presented the staff report via Zoom. Primarily focused on Housing Element goals in Program 3.8/4.6A at the current date, being behind it’s original schedule and that the Town appears to be on target with lower-income RHNA tier housing.
Planning Department also reported approval of one RM10 site at the Menlo Circus Club and 4 more applications that are currently pending.
Council directed staff to defer any action on developing housing at the Gilmore House site in light of this report until the Mid-Cycle Housing Element Check-in schedule for March 2028.
10. CONSIDERATION AND DIRECTION REGARDING FORMATION OF A CITY
CHARTER
City Manager Rodericks presented report regarding Charter City feedback from the community.

Council made comments to a similar effect and directed staff not to pursue a charter city measure any further and to end outreach efforts.

Item No. 3
Town of Atherton
CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT – CONSENT AGENDA
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
GEORGE RODERICKS, CITY MANAGER
FROM: BRITTANY BENDIX, TOWN PLANNER
DATE: JUNE 17, 2026
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION TO ADOPT AMENDMENTS TO THE URBAN COUNTY
COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT WITH NON-ENTITLEMENT CITIES
FOR PARTICIPATION IN THE COUNTY’S HOUSING AND
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt amendments to the Urban County Cooperative Agreement with non-entitlement cities for participation in the county’s housing and community development programs.
BACKGROUND
In 1996, the Town entered into a cooperation agreement with San Mateo County whereby Atherton would not be eligible for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Funds on its own; and would therefore, cooperate and participate in the County’s Urban County Program to access CDBG Funding.
The CDBG program is managed by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Grants provided through this program support state, regional and local governments with financing for development activities that build resilient communities. These activities include infrastructure projects, economic development projects, public facilities installations, community centers, housing rehabilitation, and other public services.
The Town does not currently receive enough funds through the CDBG program to conduct housing programs locally, and therefore, chooses to participate regionally. Through this approach the Town receives credit for CDBG participation, which provides opportunities to the Town to seek
CDBG Agreement Amendment 2
June 17, 2026
additional public funding programs that align with its General Plan programs and goals, specifically the Housing Element.
The Town has been in a cooperation agreement with the County since 1996; with the agreement automatically renewed every three years. In 2017, the Town approved an amendment to the agreement that addressed new requirements from HUD. Since that time, the amended agreement has continued to renew automatically. The 2017 amended agreement is provided at Attachment 1.
ANALYSIS
In May 2026, the Town received a letter from the San Mateo County Department of Housing regarding the requalification and renewal of the Cooperation Agreement for the upcoming program cycle. The letter indicates the Town must further amend the agreement, should the Town desire to continue the cooperative relationship. The proposed amendment is the second amendment since 2017 and is required as part of the Urban County requalification process.
The purpose of the second amendment is to include language that acknowledges ongoing litigation involving San Mateo County and multiple federal agencies that challenges certain new and unlawful terms and conditions imposed on federal grant awards. A copy of the new Cooperation Agreement is provided at Attachment 2. The proposed amendment clarifies that any terms and conditions subject to the August 12, 2025, court-issued Preliminary Injunction prohibiting HUD are not enforceable against San Mateo County in connection with any HUD grants awarded to the County. This provision does not alter the Town's obligations under the Agreement, as the Preliminary Injunction extends to the Cooperative Agreement. The injunction order is provided at Attachment 3.
To remain in the Urban County, the amendment must be approved by the City Council with a signed copy of the amendment sent to the County by July 15, 2026. A draft resolution for the Council’s consideration is provided at Attachment 4.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The Town does not receive enough funds to conduct housing programs locally and must choose to participate (and get credit for participation) regionally as part of the Town’s Housing Element commitment to Affordable Housing Projects and Programs.
FISCAL IMPACT
No fiscal impact at this time.

Amends and restates the first paragraph in its entirety as follows:

• Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, implementing regulations at 24 CFR Part 1; and • the Fair Housing Act, and implementing regulations at 24 CFR Part 100 and will comply with the obligation to affirmatively further fair housing; and
• Section 109 of Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, and the implementing regulations at 24 CFR Part 6, which incorporates: Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the • implementing regulations at 24 CFR Part 8; and

The Parties agree that Urban County funding in no event will be used for activities in, or in support of, any cooperating unit of general local government that impedes the County’s actions to comply with the County’s fair housing certification and duty to affirmatively further fair housing. This provision is required because noncompliance by a unit of general local government included in an urban county may constitute noncompliance by the grantee (i.e. the Urban County) that can, in turn, provide cause for funding sanctions or other remedial actions by the Department.”
VI. Section 3 (County’s Responsibilities as Applicant), is hereby ☐ added ☒ amended as follows:
Amends and restates Subsection c. in its entirety as follows:
“Parties to this Agreement understand and agree that they may not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer all or any portion of CDBG funds to a Municipality, Urban County, unit of general local government, or insular area that directly or indirectly receives CDBG funds in exchange for any funds, credits, or nonFederal considerations, but must use such funds for activities eligible under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended.”

13. Amendments to the Agreement.
“The Parties agree to adopt amendment(s) to this Agreement as may be required by HUD to meet any new Urban County Qualification requirement(s), when applicable.

THIRD MOTION FOR
PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION
I. INTRODUCTION
Congress, as the branch of government constitutionally entrusted with the power of the purse, has long made critical investments in programs to end homelessness, strengthen communities, and improve local infrastructure. These budget decisions are not mere technical exercises, they reflect difficult judgments (and compromises) about how best to allocate our nation’s resources. Every dollar allocated is a deliberate decision on how to serve the public good. And under the constitution, it is Congress—not the President—that has the authority to Case 2:25-cv-00814-BJR Document 338 Filed 08/12/25 Page 1 of 50

25 make those judgments. Yet that is precisely what the Plaintiffs in this case allege the current administration has attempted to override. They contend that the Trump Administration unlawfully seeks to impose hotly contested political conditions on funds that Congress has already appropriated—substituting the Executive’s preferences for the will of Congress, in clear defiance of constitutional limits.
On June 3, 2025, this Court enjoined Defendants U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) and U.S. Department of Transportation (“DOT”) from imposing unlawful funding conditions on an estimated $4 billion in HUD Continuum of Care Program (“CoC”) and DOT grants that had been awarded to the then Plaintiffs—at the time 31 local governments and agencies—to support vital programs across the country, including homelessness prevention and transportation infrastructure. This Court determined that those Plaintiffs are likely to succeed on the merits of their claims that Defendants’ actions violated the Administrative Procedure Act (“APA”), 5 U.S.C. § 551 et seq., as contrary to the constitution and in excess of statutory authority, and arbitrary and capricious.
On July 10, 2025, Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint in which they added approximately 30 additional local governments and agencies as plaintiffs and the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) as a defendant. Currently before the Court is Plaintiffs’ Third Motion for Preliminary Injunction. Dkt. No. 186. Plaintiffs allege that not only is HUD attempting to impose the same unlawful funding conditions that this Court previously enjoined on CoC grants awarded to some of the newly added Plaintiffs, but it is attempting to impose the funding conditions on all HUD grants, regardless of whether they are CoC grants.
Plaintiffs further claim that DOT is also attempting to impose the same previously enjoined Case 2:25-cv-00814-BJR Document 338 Filed 08/12/25 Page 2 of 50

25 funding conditions on grants awarded to some of the newly added Plaintiffs. Lastly, Plaintiffs allege that HHS has begun imposing substantially similar unlawful funding conditions on its grants. Plaintiffs assert that Defendants’ actions threaten more than $12 billion in funding that is needed to support essential and life-sustaining programs in their communities and seek a preliminary injunction extending the relief that this Court previously granted in June 2025 to the newly added Plaintiffs that have CoC and/or DOT grants, barring HHS from applying the unlawful funding conditions on its grants, and barring HUD from doing the same as to all of its grant programs.
Having reviewed the briefs and exhibits filed in support of and in opposition to the motion, the record of the case, and the relevant legal authority, the Court will grant the motion. The reasoning for the Court’s decision follows.
II. PROCEDURAL HISTORY
This case started on May 2, 2025 when Martin Luther King, Jr. County (“King County”), Pierce County, Snohomish County, City and County of San Francisco (“San Francisco”), Santa Clara County, Boston, Columbus, and New York City (collectively, “the Original Plaintiffs”) sued HUD, DOT, and the Federal Transit Administration (“FTA”), as well as the agencies’ heads in their official capacities, challenging the imposition of new funding conditions on grants that the Original Plaintiffs had been conditionally awarded for fiscal year 2024. 1 Dkt. 1. Seven of the
Original Plaintiffs (excluding Columbus) then moved for a temporary restraining order (“TRO”) on May 5, 2025. The Court held a hearing and granted their motion two days later. Dkt. Nos. 5, 1 The original Defendants were HUD, DOT, Scott Turner in his official capacity as Secretary of HUD, Sean Duffy in his official capacity as Secretary of DOT, FTA, and Matthew Welbes as the acting Director of FTA. Dkt. No. 1 at ¶¶ 16-21.

25 51–52. At the conclusion of the TRO hearing, the Original Plaintiffs stated their intent to move for a preliminary injunction on the same issues subject to the TRO, which was set to expire fourteen days later. Dkt. No. 53. The Court ordered briefing and on May 21, 2025, held a hearing on the motion for a preliminary injunction. Id.; Dkt. No. 73. At the conclusion of that hearing, the Court determined that good cause existed to extend the TRO by another fourteen days, to June 4, 2025, and stated that it would issue a written decision on the motion for preliminary injunction by that date. Dkt. No. 73.
Later that day the Original Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint adding 23 local governments and agencies as Plaintiffs, as well as the Federal Highway Administration (“FHWA”), the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”), the Federal Railroad Administration (“FRA”), and the component heads in their official capacities, as Defendants.2 Dkt. No. 71. The 23 newly added Plaintiffs brought the same claims and challenged the same funding conditions as the Original Plaintiffs. Dkt. 71.
They also sought a TRO and preliminary injunction, which the Court granted. Dkt. Nos. 72, 152.
Defendants appealed the preliminary injunction order to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, where the appeal remains pending.3 Dkt. No. 173. 2 The 23 newly added Plaintiffs were the City and County of Denver, Colorado (“Denver”), the Metropolitan government of Nashville and Davidson County, Tennessee (“Nashville”), Pima County, Arizona (“Pima County”), County of Sonoma, California (“Sonoma”), City of Bend, Oregon (“Bend”), City of Cambridge, Massachusetts (“Cambridge”), City of Chicago, Illinois (“Chicago”), City of Culver City, California, (“Culver City”), City of Minneapolis, Minnesota (“Minneapolis”), City of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (“Pittsburgh”), City of Portland, Oregon (“Portland”), City of San Jose, California (“San Jose”), City of Santa Monica, California (“Santa Monica”), City of Pasadena, California (“Pasadena”), City of Tucson, Arizona (“Tucson”), City of Wilsonville, Oregon (“Wilsonville”), Central Puget Sound Regional Transit Authority located in King, Pierce, and Snohomish Counties, Washington (“CPSRTA”), Intercity Transit located in Thurston County, Washington (“Intercity Transit”), Port of Seattle, Washington (“Port of Seattle”), King County Regional Homelessness Authority located in King County, Washington (“King County RHA”), Santa Monica Housing Authority, California (“Santa Monica HA”), San Francisco County Transportation Authority, located in the City and County of San Francisco, California (“SFCTA”), and Treasure Island Mobility Management Agency located in Treasure Island and Yerba Buena Island, California (“TIMMA”). Dkt. No. 71 at ¶¶ 8-38. The newly added Defendants were FHWA, Gloria M. Shepard as the acting Director of FHWA, FAA, Chris Rocheleau as acting Administrator of FAA, FRA, and Drew Feeley as acting Administrator of FRA. Id. at ¶¶ 39-50. 3 In moving for leave to file the second amended complaint, Plaintiffs asserted that the “claims in the [second amended complaint] challenging new grant conditions are indistinguishable on the facts and law [from] the existing Case 2:25-cv-00814-BJR Document 338 Filed 08/12/25 Page 4 of 50

25 On July 10, 2025, Plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint adding another 29 local governments and agencies as plaintiffs.4 Dkt. No. 184. Plaintiffs continue to challenge the HUD and DOT funding conditions as before, but now have added HUD grants outside the CoC program, and have brought new claims against HHS and its agencies, including the Administration for Children and Families (“ACF”), Health Resources and Services Administration (“HRSA”), National Institutes of Health (“NIH”), Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (“SAMHSA”), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”). As before, Plaintiffs seek a preliminary injunction enjoining the imposition of the new funding conditions on their federal grants.
The new Plaintiffs challenging the imposition of the new funding conditions on HUD CoC grants are Alameda County, Albuquerque, Baltimore, Columbus, Dane County, Hennepin claims.” Dkt. No. 181 at 4. Defendants did not oppose the motion. While the Ninth Circuit has not ruled directly on the issue of whether a district court retains jurisdiction to allow amendment of pleadings pending appeal of a preliminary injunction, district courts within this circuit have recognized that pending interlocutory appeal they retain jurisdiction over matters that would not change the issues before the appellate court. See e.g. Center for Food Safety v. Vilsack, 2011 WL 672802 at *2 (N.D. Cal. 2011). In light of this, the Court concluded that it retained jurisdiction to allow the requested amendment because a significant portion of the second amended complaint simply adds new Plaintiffs challenging Defendants’ imposition of the previously enjoined unlawful funding conditions on CoC HUD and DOT grants. And while the second amended complaint does also challenge Defendants’ imposition of funding conditions on non-COC HUD and HHS grants, the challenged conditions are either identical or substantially similar to the previously imposed conditions, and the claims implicate identical legal issues. In addition, several of the newly added Plaintiffs face a fast-approaching deadline of August 16, 2025 to submit consolidated/action plans to HUD or forfeit the formula grant funding. Dkt. No. 186 at 1; Dkt. No. 184 at ¶ 623. Nevertheless, if it is determined that this Court lacked jurisdiction because an appeal is pending, then this Court issues this order as an indicative ruling pursuant to Fed. Rule of Civ. P. 62.1(3). 4 The 29 newly added Plaintiffs are County of Alameda (“Alameda County”), City of Albuquerque (“Albuquerque”), Mayor and City Council of Baltimore (“Baltimore”), City of Bellevue (“Bellevue”), City of Bellingham (“Bellingham”), City of Bremerton (“Bremerton”), County of Dane (“Dane County”), City of Eugene (“Eugene”), City of Healdsburg (“Healdsburg”), County of Hennepin (“Hennepin County”), Kitsap County, City of Los Angeles (“Los Angeles”), City of Milwaukee (“Milwaukee”), Milwaukee County, Multnomah County, City of Oakland (“Oakland”), City of Pacifica (“Pacifica”), City of Petaluma (“Petaluma”), Ramsey County, City of Rochester (“Rochester”), City of Rohnert Park (“Rohnert Park”), City of San Diego (“San Diego”), County of San Mateo (“San Mateo County”), City of Santa Rosa (“Santa Rosa”), City of Watsonville (“Watsonville”), Culver City Housing Authority (“CCHA”), Puget Sound Regional Council (“PSRC”), Sonoma County Transportation Authority (“SCTA”), and Sonoma County Community Development Commission (SCCDC”). Dkt. No. 184 at ¶¶ 136-253.

As stated above, initially this lawsuit concerned the allocation of congressionally appropriated federal funds through HUD and DOT grant programs, and several DOT operating administrations. Originally the lawsuit concerned only HUD grants through its CoC program, but with the second amended complaint, while Plaintiffs still challenge the funding conditions on the CoC grants (as well as DOT grants), they now object to funding conditions that HUD seeks to impose on all of its grants. In addition, the lawsuit has expanded to include grants administered by HHS and several of its operating administrations, including ACF, HRSA, NIH, SAMHSA, and the CDC.
A. HUD CoC and DOT Grants
HUD administers the CoC program with funds appropriated by Congress through the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. § 11301(b)(2)–(3). The CoC program is designed to assist individuals and families experiencing homelessness by providing services to help such individuals move into transitional and permanent housing, with the goal of long-term stability. Congress established DOT in 1966 “to assure the coordinated, effective administration of the transportation programs of the Federal Government” and has established by statute a wide variety of grant programs that provide federal funds to state and local governments for public transit services. See Department of Transportation Act, Pub. L. No. 89-670, 80 Stat. 931 (1966). 5 Note, several Plaintiffs fall into more than one Plaintiff group. 6 This Court assumes familiarity with the detailed fact section set forth in its June 3, 2025 order granting Plaintiffs’ motions for a preliminary injunction. Dkt. No. 169.

25 1. The Funding Conditions on HUD CoC and DOT Grants
In the first two motions for a preliminary injunction, Plaintiffs charged HUD and DOT with imposing funding conditions that are not authorized by statute on HUD CoC and DOT grants and are therefore unlawful. Plaintiffs argued that the new funding conditions sought to coerce grant recipients dependent on federal funding into implementing the Trump Administration’s policy agenda. Specifically, Plaintiffs objected to the following six conditions with respect to the CoC grants:
A. The recipient “shall not use grant funds to promote ‘gender ideology,’ as defined in E.O. 14168 Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government”; B. The recipient “agrees that its compliance in all respects with all applicable Federal anti-discrimination laws is material to the U.S. Government’s payment decisions for purposes of [the False Claims Act, 31 U.S.C. § 3729(b)(4)]”;
C. The recipient “certifies that it does not operate any programs that violate any applicable Federal anti-discrimination laws, including Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964”;
D. The recipient “shall not use any Grant Funds to fund or promote elective abortions, as required by E.O. 14182, Enforcing the Hyde Amendment”; E. “No state or unit of general local government that receives funding under this grant may use that funding in a manner that by design or effect facilitates the subsidization or promotion of illegal immigration or abets policies that seek to shield illegal aliens from deportation”; and F. “Subject to the exceptions provided by [the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (“PRWORA”)], the recipient must use SAVE, or an equivalent verification system approved by the Federal government, to prevent any Federal public benefit from being provided to an ineligible alien who entered the United States illegally or is otherwise unlawfully present in the United States.”

25 Dkt. No. 11 (“McSpadden Decl.”), Ex. A at 3. And Plaintiffs objected to the following three conditions with respect to the DOT grants:
A. “Pursuant to section (3)(b)(iv)(A), Executive Order 14173, Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity, the Recipient agrees that its compliance in all respects with all applicable Federal antidiscrimination laws is material to the government’s payment decisions for purposes of [the False Claims Act, 31 U.S.C. § 3729(b)(4)]”; B. “Pursuant to section (3)(b)(iv)(B), Executive Order 14173, Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity, by entering into this Agreement, Recipient certifies that it does not operate any programs promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives that violate any applicable Federal anti-discrimination laws”; and
C. “[T]he Recipient will cooperate with Federal officials in the enforcement of Federal law, including cooperating with and not impeding U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other Federal offices and components of the Department of Homeland Security in the enforcement of Federal immigration law.”
Dkt. No. 71 at ¶¶ 164, 172. In addition, the new funding conditions also required recipients to comply with all executive orders. McSpadden Decl., Ex. A at 1, ¶ 5; Dkt. No. 71 at ¶¶ 168, 170.
Plaintiffs challenged Defendants’ imposition of the foregoing conditions on the grants, arguing that the conditions are unconstitutional, violate the APA, and exceed statutory authority.
They further argued that they would be irreparably harmed if the conditions were imposed on the grants and sought injunctive relief from this Court.
2. This Court Grants Injunctive Relief to Plaintiffs
This Court determined that Plaintiffs were entitled to a preliminary injunction because they satisfied the Winter factors. Dkt. No. 169 at 30 (citing Winter v. Nat. Res. Def. Council, Inc., 555 U.S. 7, 22 (2008)). Plaintiffs established that they are likely to succeed on the merits of their APA claim because Defendants’ actions are contrary to the constitution, in excess of statutory Case 2:25-cv-00814-BJR Document 338 Filed 08/12/25 Page 9 of 50

25 authority, and arbitrary and capricious. Id. at 30-38. Plaintiffs also demonstrated that they were likely to suffer irreparable harm in the absence of preliminary injunctive relief and that the balance of equities weighed in favor of Plaintiffs. Id. at 39-45. Therefore, among other relief, the Court enjoined Defendants from:
(1) imposing or enforcing the new funding conditions, as defined in Plaintiffs’ motions for preliminary injunction, or any materially similar terms or conditions with respect to any HUD CoC or DOT funds awarded to Plaintiffs; (2) with respect to Plaintiffs, rescinding, withholding, cancelling, or otherwise not processing any HUD CoC and/or DOT Agreements, or pausing, freezing, impeding, blocking, cancelling, terminating, delaying, withholding, or conditioning HUD CoC and/or DOT funds, based on such terms or conditions, including without limitation failing or refusing to process and otherwise implement grants signed with changes or other objection to conditions enjoined by this preliminary injunction; (3) requiring Plaintiffs to make any “certification” or other representation related to compliance with such terms or conditions; or
(4) refusing to issue, process, or sign HUD CoC and/or DOT Agreements based on Plaintiffs’ participation in this lawsuit.
Id. at 46-48.
3. New HUD CoC and DOT Plaintiffs
Plaintiffs allege that despite this Court enjoining Defendants from imposing the unlawful funding conditions on the Original Plaintiffs’ HUD CoC grants, Defendants are attempting to impose the conditions on CoC grants awarded to Alameda County, Albuquerque, Baltimore, Dane County, Hennepin County, Milwaukee, Multnomah County, Oakland, Petaluma, Ramsey County, San Mateo County, and Sonoma County—the New CoC Plaintiffs. Dkt. No. 184 at ¶¶ 292-293. According to Plaintiffs, the CoC grants will allow the New CoC Plaintiffs “to continue homelessness assistance programs, ensuring [their] ability to serve their residents so they [will] not experience a sudden drop off in the availability of housing services, permanent and Case 2:25-cv-00814-BJR Document 338 Filed 08/12/25 Page 10 of 50

25 transitional housing, and other assistance.” Id. at ¶ 300. Plaintiffs further allege that in reliance on the awards, many of the New CoC Plaintiffs “already notified service providers of forthcoming funding and/or contracted with service providers for homelessness assistance services.” Id. at ¶ 301.
In addition, Plaintiffs allege that Defendants also continue to impose the funding conditions on DOT grants awarded to Alameda County, Albuquerque, Baltimore, Bellevue, Bellingham, Bremerton, Cambridge, Dane County, Eugene, Healdsburg, Hennepin County, Kitsap County, Los Angeles, Milwaukee, Milwaukee County, Multnomah County, Oakland, Pacifica, Pasadena, Petaluma, PSRC, Ramsey County, Rochester, Rohnert Park, San Diego, San Mateo County, Santa Rosa, SCTA, and Watsonville—the New DOT Plaintiffs. According to Plaintiffs, each of the New DOT Plaintiffs “previously received, currently receive, or are otherwise eligible to receive DOT grants, directly and/or on a pass-through basis. Id. at ¶ 391.
Plaintiffs further allege that each of the New DOT Plaintiffs rely on the DOT grants to undertake transportation-related projects for the benefit of their communities.
Plaintiffs claim that “[t]he grant conditions that Defendants seek to impose leave [the New CoC and DOT] Plaintiffs with the Hobson’s choice of accepting illegal conditions that are without authority, contrary to the Constitution, and accompanied by the poison pill of heightened risk of FCA claims or forgoing the benefit of grant funds—paid for (at least partially) through local federal taxes—that are necessary for crucial local services.” Id. at ¶ 623. Finally, Plaintiffs assert that loss of these grant funds would result in loss of billions of dollars in funding for critical services and projects for the New CoC and DOT Plaintiffs, destabilizing their Case 2:25-cv-00814-BJR Document 338 Filed 08/12/25 Page 11 of 50

25 communities. Id. at ¶¶ 625-627. Plaintiffs request that this Court extend its injunction against Defendants to the New CoC and DOT Plaintiffs’ grants.
B. Non-CoC HUD Grants
Plaintiffs allege that in addition to CoC grants, many of them receive or are otherwise eligible to receive non-CoC HUD grants—the Non-CoC HUD Plaintiffs. These grants include congressionally appropriated funding for homelessness assistance, affordable housing, community development programs, and other services that benefit the Non-CoC HUD Plaintiffs’ communities, including the Community Development Block Grant (“CDBG”) program, 42 U.S.C. §§ 5303–06; the Emergency Solutions Grant (“ESG”) program, which funds emergency shelters and homelessness services, id. §§ 11371–78; the Home Investment Partnerships (“HOME”) program, which supports affordable housing, id. §§ 12741–56; and the Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (“HOPWA”) program, id. §§ 12901–12. Dkt. No. 184 at ¶¶ 302-358.
Plaintiffs allege, and Defendants do not dispute, that HUD seeks to impose on all HUD grants substantially similar funding conditions to those that this Court previously enjoined. As evidence of this, Plaintiffs point to the fact that in April 2025, HUD amended its General Administrative, National, and Departmental Policy Requirements and Terms (the “HUD Policy Terms”) that sets forth the “various laws and policies that may apply to recipients of” HUD grant awards. Dkt. No. 184 at ¶ 516. The amended HUD Policy Terms list President Trump’s executive orders among the “laws and policies that may apply” to HUD grants as well as language materially the same as the previously enjoined funding conditions. Id. at ¶ 520.

25 In addition, Plaintiffs note that in May 2025, HUD amended its standard Applicant and Recipient Assurances and Certifications (“the HUD Certifications”) to require applicants to certify that they “[w]ill not use Federal funding to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) mandates, policies, programs, or activities that violate any applicable Federal antidiscrimination laws.” Dkt. No. 271, Amaral Decl., Ex. B; Dkt. No. 184 at ¶ 522. Local governments and agencies must submit the HUD Certifications with certain consolidated plans and/or action plans annually as a condition to receiving CDBG, ESG, HOME, and HOPWA formula funding.
Lastly, on June 5, 2025, HUD’s Office of Community Planning and Development (“CPD”), which administers the CoC, CDBG, ESG, HOME, and HOPWA programs, issued a letter announcing HUD’s decision to impose on all CPD formula grants funding conditions substantially similar to the previously enjoined funding conditions. Dkt. No. 184 at ¶¶ 524-525.
These funding conditions include requiring recipients to certify that they: (1) “shall not use grant funds to promote ‘gender ideology,’” (2) will not “use any grant funds to fund or promote elective abortions,” (3) will “use SAVE, or an equivalent verification system approved by the Federal government, to prevent any Federal public benefit from being provided to an ineligible alien who entered the United States illegally or is otherwise unlawfully present in the United States,” and (4) agree that they will not use funding to “subsidiz[e] or promot[e] … illegal immigration or [to] seek to shield illegal aliens from deportation.” Id. at ¶¶ 527-533.
Plaintiffs claim that HUD has already notified at least three Non-CoC HUD Plaintiffs that their consolidated/action plans violate the newly imposed funding conditions. For instance, HUD threatened to disapprove Petaluma’s 2025 Consolidated Action Plan for CDBG funds because it allegedly violated the DEI, gender ideology, and immigration funding conditions by including Case 2:25-cv-00814-BJR Document 338 Filed 08/12/25 Page 13 of 50

25 references to “equity,” “environmental justice,” “transgender or gender non-conforming,” and “undocumented individuals.” Dkt. No. 244, Cochran Decl., Ex. B. Bellevue and King County received similar notices. Dkt. No. 195, Esparza Decl., Ex. A; Dkt. No. 222, Third Supp. Marshall Decl., Ex. B. HUD gave Petaluma, Bellevue, and King County less than 48 hours to remedy the purported violations by scrubbing their plans of the offending language. Id.; Cochran Decl. at ¶
12. King County’s plan was subsequently disapproved. Dkt. No. 223, Holcomb Decl., Ex. A.
Plaintiffs further allege that the Non-CoC HUD Plaintiffs face immediate and irreparable harm from imposition of the funding conditions. Several Non-CoC HUD Plaintiffs face a deadline of Saturday, August 16, 2025 to submit consolidated/action plans to HUD or forfeit the formula grant funding. Dkt. No. 186 at 1; Dkt. No. 184 at ¶ 623. Plaintiffs assert that loss of this funding would disrupt the lives of the Non-CoC HUD Plaintiffs’ most vulnerable residents, likely leading to evictions and increased homelessness and further straining local resources.
According to Plaintiffs, even a temporary loss of funding would set back efforts to create and preserve affordable housing, ameliorate homelessness, and house low-income individuals living with HIV/AIDS. Dkt. No. 184 at ¶ 625. Plaintiffs request that this Court enjoin Defendants from imposing the new funding conditions on the Non-CoC HUD Plaintiffs’ grants.
C. HHS Grants
HHS administers both competitive grant programs and formula and block grant programs that provide funds to local governments to enhance the health and well-being of their communities. In administering grant programs, HHS often acts through its operating divisions and agencies. For instance, ACF administers discretionary and formula grants to support programs that serve children and families. HRSA awards a variety of competitive and formula Case 2:25-cv-00814-BJR Document 338 Filed 08/12/25 Page 14 of 50

25 grants including Primary Care/Health Centers, Health Workforce Training, HIV/AIDS, Organ Donation, Maternal and Child Health, Rural Health, the Health Center Program, and the Ryan White HIV/AIDS program. SAMHSA administers both competitive, discretionary grant programs and noncompetitive formula grant programs to fund substance use and mental health services to advance the behavioral health and improve the lives of those living with mental and substance use disorders. The CDC provides funding to support public health systems and activities by local and state governments. It supports programs such as HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STI, and TB Prevention; Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion; Public Health Preparedness and Response; and Injury Prevention and Control.
Congress annually appropriates funding for these HHS grant programs, setting forth priorities and directives to the Secretary of HHS with respect to the funding. Examples of such appropriation legislation are: Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, Pub. L. 116-260, 134 Stat. 1523– 28, 1567–98; Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022, Pub. L. 117-103, 136 Stat. 397– 402, 441–74; Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, Pub. L. 117-328, 136 Stat. 4808–13, 4854–87; Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024, Pub. L. 118-42, 138 Stat. 272–77, 397–419.
Plaintiffs allege that the HHS Plaintiffs have received, currently receive, or are otherwise eligible to receive federal grants administered by ACF, HRSA, SAMHSA, and CDC, among others. Collectively, HHS Plaintiffs rely on over $2 billion in appropriated federal funds from HHS grant programs which support essential health programs and services in the HHS Plaintiffs’ communities, such as child welfare assistance, adoption and foster care services, and healthcare for low-income individuals and those living with HIV/AIDS.

25 Plaintiffs claim that like HUD and DOT, HHS has begun attaching unlawful funding conditions to HHS grants that are substantially similar to those that this Court previously enjoined, including by updating HHS’s Grants Policy Statement in April 2025 (“the 2025 HHS GPS”) to provide:
[R]ecipients must comply with all applicable Federal anti-discrimination laws material to the government’s payment decisions for purposes of 31 U.S.C. § 372(b)(4).
(1) Definitions. As used in this clause –
(a) DEI means “diversity, equity, and inclusion.”
(b) DEIA means “diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility.” (c) Discriminatory equity ideology has the meaning set forth in Section 2(b) of Executive Order 14190 of January 29, 2025.
. . . . .
By accepting the grant award, recipients are certifying that . . . [t]hey do not, and will not during the term of this financial assistance award, operate any programs that advance or promote DEI, DEIA, or discriminatory equity ideology in violation of Federal anti-discrimination laws.
Dkt. No. 184 at ¶ 606.7
Plaintiffs further alleged that in addition to these agency-wide changes, several HHS operating divisions and agencies have issued their own general terms and conditions incorporating the 2025 HHS GPS. For instance, ACF updated its Standard Terms and Conditions that apply to both discretionary and non-discretionary awards, to add a certification that states:
7 On July 24, 2025, after Plaintiffs filed the instant motion, HHS updated the 2025 HHS GPS, removing express references to DEI but stating: “By applying for or accepting federal funds from HHS, recipients certify compliance with all federal antidiscrimination laws and these requirements and that complying with those laws is a material condition of receiving federal funding streams.” 2025 HHS GPS at 18, https://www.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/hhsgrants-policy-statement-july-2025.pdf. Thus, the foregoing certification is required even to just “apply[]” for federal funds from HHS. The 2025 HHS GPS also states that “[r]ecipients are responsible for ensuring subrecipients, contractors, and partners also comply.” Id.

Recipients must comply with all applicable Federal anti-discrimination laws material to the government’s payment decisions for purposes of [the FCA]. (1) Definitions. As used in this clause –
(a) DEI means “diversity, equity, and inclusion.”
(b) DEIA means “diversity, equity, inclusion, and
accessibility.”
(c) Discriminatory equity ideology has the meaning
set forth in Section 2(b) of Executive Order 14190 of
January 29, 2025.
(e) Federal anti-discrimination laws means Federal
civil rights law that protect individual Americans
from discrimination on the basis of race, color, sex,
religion, and national origin.
(2) Grant award certification.
(a) By accepting the grant award, recipients are
certifying that:
(i) They do not, and will not during the term of this
financial assistance award, operate any programs that
advance or promote the following in violation of
Federal anti-discrimination laws: DEI, DEIA, or
discriminatory equity ideology.
Id. at ¶ 609.8
Likewise, HRSA issued updated general terms and conditions applicable to all active awards. The revised HRSA terms and conditions incorporate the 2025 HHS GPS and also contain the following new provision:
8 On July 29, 2025, ACF updated its Standard Terms and Conditions again to remove express references to DEI.

• Recipient is compliant with Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, as amended, 20 U.S.C. §§ 1681 et seq., including the requirements set forth in Presidential Executive Order 14168 titled Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government, and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000d et seq., and Recipient will remain compliant for the duration of the Agreement. • The above requirements are conditions of payment that go to the essence of the Agreement and are therefore material terms of the Agreement. • Payments under the Agreement are predicated on compliance with the above requirements, and therefore Recipient is not eligible for funding under the Agreement or to retain any funding under the Agreement absent compliance with the above requirements.
• Recipient acknowledges that this certification reflects a change in the government’s position regarding the materiality of the foregoing requirements and therefore any prior payment of similar claims does not reflect the materiality of the foregoing requirements to this Agreement. • Recipient acknowledges that a knowing false statement relating to Recipient’s compliance with the above requirements and/or eligibility for the Agreement may subject Recipient to liability under the False Claims Act, 31 U.S.C. § 3729, and/or criminal liability, including under 18 U.S.C. §§ 287 and 1001.
Dkt. No. 184 at ¶ 611. Plaintiffs allege that SAMHSA and the CDC have also updated their terms to contain funding conditions that require recipients not to promote gender ideology. Id. at ¶¶ 607-08.
Plaintiffs argue that foregoing funding conditions are unconstitutional, violate the APA, exceed statutory authority, and are President Trump’s attempt to coerce grant recipients that rely on federal funds into implementing his political agenda. According to Plaintiffs, withholding “HHS grants from the HHS Plaintiffs would threaten or eliminate critical individual and public health services for millions of residents. Loss of funding could decimate public health budgets Case 2:25-cv-00814-BJR Document 338 Filed 08/12/25 Page 18 of 50

25 and cause residents, including those most vulnerable, to lose access to meals, medical care, housing and lifesaving social safety net services. Loss of funding could also devastate local public health and child welfare agencies, who may be forced to conduct significant layoffs and operational reductions.” Id. at ¶ 628. Therefore, Plaintiffs request that this Court enjoin HHS and/or its operating agencies from imposing the new funding conditions on the HHS Plaintiffs’ grants.
IV. DISCUSSION
A. Legal Standard
A preliminary injunction is a matter of equitable discretion and is “an extraordinary remedy that may only be awarded upon a clear showing that the plaintiff is entitled to such relief.” Winter v. Nat. Res. Def. Council, Inc., 555 U.S. 7, 22 (2008). “A plaintiff seeking preliminary injunctive relief must establish that [it] is likely to succeed on the merits, that [it] is likely to suffer irreparable harm in the absence of preliminary relief, that the balance of equities tips in [its] favor, and that an injunction is in the public interest.” Id. at 20. Alternatively, an injunction may issue where “the likelihood of success is such that serious questions going to the merits were raised and the balance of hardships tips sharply in [the plaintiff’s] favor,” provided that the plaintiff can also demonstrate the other two Winter factors. All. for the Wild Rockies v.
Cottrell, 632 F.3d 1127, 1131–32 (9th Cir. 2011) (citation and internal quotation marks omitted).
Under either standard, Plaintiffs bear the burden of making a clear showing that they are entitled to this extraordinary remedy. Earth Island Inst. v. Carlton, 626 F.3d 462, 469 (9th Cir. 2010). The most important Winter factor is likelihood of success on the merits. See Disney Enters., Inc. v.
VidAngel, Inc., 869 F.3d 848, 856 (9th Cir. 2017).

25 B. Plaintiffs’ Claims Are Reviewable under the APA
As they did when they opposed Plaintiffs’ first two motions for a preliminary injunction, Defendants argue that Plaintiffs’ claims are not reviewable by this Court because the actions at issue are committed to the agencies’ discretion. While “the APA establishes a basic presumption of judicial review for one suffering legal wrong because of agency action, that presumption can be rebutted by a showing that . . . the agency action is committed to agency discretion by law.” Dep’t of Homeland Sec. v. Regents of the Univ. of California, 140 S. Ct. 1891, 1905 (2020) (cleaned up); 5 U.S.C. § 701(a)(2). Where that is the case, courts have no authority to review or set aside the agency’s action.
However, as this Court previously concluded, this exception to the “basic presumption of judicial review” does not apply in this case. Agency action is committed to agency discretion only in those “rare instances where statutes are drawn in such broad terms that in a given case there is no law to apply, thereby leaving the court with no meaningful standard against which to judge the agency’s exercise of discretion.” ASSE Int’l, Inc. v. Kerry, 803 F.3d 1059, 1068 (9th Cir. 2015); Texas v. United States, 809 F.3d 134, 168 (5th Cir. 2015), as revised (Nov. 25, 2015). Once again, Defendants have failed to demonstrate that the contested conditions fall within “[t]his limited category of unreviewable actions.” Regents, 140 S. Ct. at 1905 (citing Weyerhaeuser Co. v.
United States Fish and Wildlife Serv., 139 S. Ct. 361, 370 (2018). As before, Defendants rely on Lincoln v. Vigil, 508 U.S. 182 (1993) for the principle that an agency’s decision to cancel a program is unreviewable because how to allocate funds “‘from a lump-sum appropriation’ is an ‘administrative decision traditionally regarded as committed to agency discretion.’” Dkt. No. 334 at 11 (citing 508 U.S. at 192). This Court previously concluded that the agency action in Lincoln Case 2:25-cv-00814-BJR Document 338 Filed 08/12/25 Page 20 of 50

25 differed materially from the actions at issue in this case, namely that the funds at issue in this case are not appropriate in undifferentiated “lump sums” as they were in Lincoln. Dkt. No. 169 at 28.
Rather, the grants at issue here “abound with specific directives” that provide substantial guidance as to how the agencies’ discretion should be exercised in implementing these programs. Id. at 28-
29. Defendants ignore entirely this Court’s previous conclusion, and the Court once again concludes that Plaintiffs’ claims do not involve the “narrow category” of agency actions that are unreviewable under the APA.
C. Plaintiffs Are Likely to Succeed on the Merits of Their APA Claims The Court has already determined that Defendants’ attempt to impose the challenged funding conditions on the CoC and DOT grants violated the APA. See generally Dkt. No. 169.
Defendants present no argument as to why this conclusion should not apply equally to the New CoC and DOT Plaintiffs; thus, the Court concludes that the New CoC and DOT Plaintiffs are also likely to succeed on the merits of their APA claim and focuses the remainder of its analysis on the Defendants’ actions with respect to the non-CoC HUD and HHS grants.
The APA broadly “sets forth the procedures by which federal agencies are accountable to the public and their actions subject to review by the courts.” Regents, 140 S. Ct. at 1905 (quoting Franklin v. Massachusetts, 505 U.S. 788, 796 (1992)). Under the APA, agencies must “engage in reasoned decisionmaking,” and courts are empowered to “hold unlawful and set aside agency action . . . found to be (A) arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, or otherwise not in accordance with law; (B) contrary to constitutional right; [or] (C) in excess of statutory jurisdiction, authority, or limitations, or short of statutory right.” 5 U.S.C. § 706(2). As stated above, Plaintiffs challenge Defendants’ actions as “contrary to constitutional right” and “in excess Case 2:25-cv-00814-BJR Document 338 Filed 08/12/25 Page 21 of 50

25 of statutory authority,” and as arbitrary and capricious. See Dkt. No. 184, Counts 5, 6, and 7, ¶¶ 670-703.
1. Defendants’ Actions Violate the APA as Contrary to the Constitution and in Excess of Statutory Authority (Counts 6 & 7)
(a) Separation of Powers Doctrine
Under the APA, a court may set aside an agency action that is “contrary to constitutional right, power, privilege, or immunity” or “in excess of statutory jurisdiction, authority, or limitations, or short of statutory right.” 5 U.S.C. § 706(2)(B), (C). Plaintiffs challenge Defendants’ conditions as both contrary to the Constitution’s Separation of Powers doctrine and in excess of any authority conferred by Congress. Dkt. No. 184 at ¶¶ 690-703. As with this Court’s prior order enjoining Defendants’ actions, because the Separation of Powers doctrine and the APA’s “in excess of statutory authority” standard both turn on the same essential question— whether the agency acted within the bounds of its authority, either as conferred by the Constitution or delegated by Congress—the Court addresses the claims in a single analysis.
The Separation of Powers doctrine recognizes that the “United States Constitution exclusively grants the power of the purse to Congress, not the President.” City & Cnty. of San Francisco v. Trump, 897 F.3d 1225, 1231 (9th Cir. 2018) (citing the Appropriations Clause, U.S.
Const. art. I, § 9, cl. 7 (“No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law.”)). “The [Appropriations] Clause has a ‘fundamental and comprehensive purpose . . . to assure that public funds will be spent according to the letter of the difficult judgments reached by Congress as to the common good and not according to the individual favor of Government agents.’” United States v. McIntosh, 833 F.3d 1163, 1175 (9th Cir. 2016) (quoting Office of Pers. Mgmt. v. Richmond, 496 U.S. 414, 427–28, 2473 (1990)).

25 In contrast, “[t]here is no provision in the Constitution that authorizes the President to enact, to amend, or to repeal statutes.” Clinton v. City of New York, 524 U.S. 417, 438 (1998). “Aside from the power of veto, the President is without authority to thwart congressional will by canceling appropriations passed by Congress.” San Francisco, 897 F.3d at 1231. Quite the contrary, it is well-established that an executive agency “literally has no power to act . . . unless and until Congress confers power upon it.” La. Pub. Serv. Comm’n v. FCC, 476 U.S. 355, 374 (1986); see California v. Trump, 379 F. Supp. 3d 928, 941 (N.D. Cal. 2019), aff’d, 963 F.3d 926 (9th Cir. 2020). When an agency is charged with administering a statute, “both [its] power to act and how [it is] to act [are] authoritatively prescribed by Congress.” City of Arlington v. FCC, 569 U.S. 290, 297 (2013). “Absent congressional authorization, the Administration may not redistribute or withhold properly appropriated funds in order to effectuate its own policy goals.” San Francisco, 897 F.3d at 1235.
Plaintiffs argue that in attempting to condition disbursement of funds in part on grounds not authorized by Congress, but rather on Executive Branch policy, Defendants are acting in violation of the Separation of Powers principle and “in excess of statutory jurisdiction, authority, or limitations, or short of statutory right.” 5 U.S.C. § 706(2)(B), (C). Plaintiffs argue that the statutes authorizing the grants at issue do not confer on Defendants the kind of authority they are attempting to assert. For the reasons explained below, and in its June 3, 2025 order, the Court agrees.
(b) The Non-CoC HUD Funding Conditions
Plaintiffs contend that the contested conditions must be set aside because the statute’s underlying the non-CoC HUD grants do not give HUD the authority to impose “conditions that Case 2:25-cv-00814-BJR Document 338 Filed 08/12/25 Page 23 of 50

25 prohibit DEI or promotion of ‘gender ideology’ or ‘elective abortion’ or require participation in federal immigration enforcement, immigration status verification, or adherence to EOs unrelated to the grant’s purpose.” Dkt. No. 186 at 9. Defendants counter that they do have the authority to impose the challenged conditions, citing to HUD regulations that require “federal agencies [to] incorporate ‘statutory, executive order, other Presidential directive, or regulatory requirements’ into the terms and conditions” of HUD grants. Dkt. No. 334 at 8 citing 2 C.F.R. § 200.211(c)(1)(ii). However, as this Court noted in rejecting this argument the first time Defendants raised it, “an agency regulation cannot create statutory authority; only Congress can do that.” Dkt. No. 169 at 33 (emphasis in original). Defendants must point to a statutory source that confers the authority. Without such a source, the agency action violates the separation of powers principle.
Next Defendants argue that the challenged conditions “merely require grant recipients to agree to comply with existing federal laws, like federal antidiscrimination laws” and “Congress has expressly authorized HUD to require that grantees comply with federal laws.” Dkt. No. 334 at 8 (citing 42 U.S.C. § 5304(b)(6) (“Any [CDBG] grant … shall be made only if the grantee certifies to the satisfaction of the Secretary that … the grantee will comply with the other provisions of this chapter and with other applicable laws.”)). The problem with Defendants’ argument is that they fail to acknowledge the evidence in the record that demonstrates that Defendants interpret federal antidiscrimination laws in a manner that is inconsistent with wellestablished legal precedent. For example, on April 4, 2025, DOT Secretary Duffy issued a letter “To All Recipients of U.S. Department of Transportation Funding” in which he stated that “any policy, program, or activity” that is “designed to achieve so called “diversity, equity, and Case 2:25-cv-00814-BJR Document 338 Filed 08/12/25 Page 24 of 50

25 inclusion,’ or ‘DEI[]’ goals[] presumptively violates Federal law” even if the policy, program, or activity is “described in neutral terms.” Dkt. No. 6 at 346 (emphasis added). Secretary Duffy’s statement can easily be interpreted to mean that a federal grant recipient that has a “policy” to accommodate individuals with disabilities so that those individuals can participate in an “activity” has “presumptively violate[d] Federal law.” This, of course, is inconsistent with well-established federal precedent that requires entities that receive federal funds to provide reasonable accommodations for qualified individuals with disabilities so that they can participate in their programs. See e.g., U.S. Dept. of Transp. v. Paralyzed Veterans of America, 477 U.S. 597, 604 (1986) (“Section 504 prohibits discrimination against any qualified handicapped individual under ‘any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.’”); Muir v. United States Dept. of Homeland Security, 2025 WL 2088450, *6 (D.C. Cir. July 25, 2025) (“Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act prohibits discrimination against disabled persons by recipients of federal funds.”); Ward v. McDonald, 762 F.3d 24, 28 (D.C. Cir. 2014) (It is a basic tenet of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 “that the government must take reasonable affirmative steps to accommodate the handicapped, except where undue hardship would result”).
Likewise, on May 19, 2025, U.S. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche sent a memorandum to all United States Attorneys, among others, in which he stated that federal fund recipients may run afoul of the False Claims Act if they allow transgender individuals to use bathrooms consistent with their gender identities (i.e., “allow[] men to intrude into women’s bathrooms”). Dkt. No. 65 at 5. Deputy Attorney General Blanche’s statement contradicts the decisions of multiple appellate courts that have held that federal law forbids discrimination based on transgender status. See e.g., Grimm v. Gloucester Cnty. Sch. Bd., 972 F.3d 586, 616–17 (4th Case 2:25-cv-00814-BJR Document 338 Filed 08/12/25 Page 25 of 50

And as recently as July 29, 2025, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi issued a memorandum titled “Guidance for Recipients of Federal Funds regarding Unlawful Discrimination” in which she purports to “clarif[y] the application of federal antidiscrimination laws to programs or initiatives that may involve discriminatory practices, including those labeled as Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (“DEI”) programs.” Dkt. No. 331, Ex. A at 1. Among other “clarifications”, Attorney General Bondi states that the use of “[f]acially neutral criteria (e.g., ‘cultural competence,’ ‘lived experience,’ geographic targeting) that function as proxies for protected characteristics violate federal law if designed or applied with the intention of advantaging or disadvantaging individuals based on protected characteristics.” Id. at 2. This “clarification,” however, is inconsistent with Supreme Court precedent that has “consistently declined to find constitutionally suspect” the adoption of race-neutral criteria “out of a desire . . . to improve racial diversity and inclusion”—even where the decision-maker was “well aware” the race-neutral criteria “correlated with race.” Coal. for TJ v. Fairfax Cnty. Sch. Bd., 68 F.4th 864, 885–86 (4th Cir. 2023) (internal quotation marks and citation omitted) (citing, inter alia, Tex.
Dep’t of Hous. & Cmty. Affs. v. Inclusive Cmtys. Project, Inc., 576 U.S. 519, 545 (2015). Nor does Supreme Court precedent prohibit the use of diversity statements for the purpose of advancing racial diversity goals; to the contrary, in Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v.
President & Fellows of Harvard College, the Court described these goals as “commendable” and “worthy” (though insufficient to justify race-based admissions). 600 U.S. 181, 214-15, 230 Case 2:25-cv-00814-BJR Document 338 Filed 08/12/25 Page 26 of 50

25 (2023) (“[N]othing in this opinion should be construed as prohibiting universities from considering an applicant’s discussion of how race affected his or her life, be it through discrimination, inspiration, or otherwise.”); United States v. Skrmetti, 145 S. Ct. 1816, 1854 (2025) (Thomas, J., concurring) (suggesting strict scrutiny does not apply to “a university’s decision to credit ‘an applicant’s discussion of how race affected his or her life’” simply because it is “inextricably bound up with” the applicant’s race) (cleaned up).
The above demonstrates that Plaintiffs are at the mercy of Defendants’ interpretation of federal antidiscrimination laws, regardless of how those laws are interpreted by the courts.
Indeed, this has already played out in this case where HUD recently informed King County that it was rejecting King County’s CDBG Consolidated Plan submission for Program Year 2025 because HUD “is questioning the accuracy of King County’s … certification that the [CDBG] funds described in [the plan] will be administered in conformity with applicable laws, including Executive Orders.” Dkt. No. 223 at 5-6. Among other reasons HUD expressed concern was King County’s use of words such as “equity,” “migrant,” and “immigrant” throughout the plan. Id. at 6-8. In order to assuage HUD’s concerns, King County was instructed to replace “all ‘equity’ references” throughout the plan with “activities and actions that do not violate any applicable Federal anti-discrimination laws, including Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964” and to replace all references to “migrant” and “immigrant” with “legal/documented migrant/immigrant.” Id. at 8. However, as Plaintiffs aptly point out, “[n]o case law … suggests that using words like ‘equity’ or ‘migrant’ violates any law.” dkt. no. 335 at 3, thus refuting Defendants’ claim that the challenged funding requirements “merely require grant recipients to Case 2:25-cv-00814-BJR Document 338 Filed 08/12/25 Page 27 of 50

8.9 Moreover, Defendants’ ability to impose the challenged conditions on the non-CoC HUD grants is further constrained by 42 U.S.C. § 12711, which prohibits HUD from “denying funds made available under [HUD] programs . . . based on the adoption, continuation, or discontinuation” of any lawful local policies. Stated differently, “HUD may not … condition funding on changes to local policies.” Cnty. of Westchester v. U.S. Dep’t of Housing and Urban Dev., 802 F.3d 413, 433 (2d Cir. 2015) (emphasis in original). Yet that is exactly what Defendants attempt to do here; they are leveraging the Non-CoC HUD Plaintiffs’ dependence on federal funding to coerce them into replacing their own local policies with the Trump Administration’s political agenda.
9 Nor are the new funding conditions authorized by PRWORA or the Hyde Amendment as Defendants claim. The challenged funding conditions purport to require non-CoC HUD Plaintiffs to “use SAVE, or an equivalent verification system approved by the Federal government, to prevent any Federal public benefit from being provided to an ineligible alien who entered the United States illegally or is otherwise unlawfully present in the United States.” Dkt. No. 184 at ¶¶ 492, 517. While PRWORA does provide that noncitizens without qualifying immigration status are ineligible for certain “Federal public benefit[s],” 8 U.S.C. § 1611(a), it does not require grant recipients to verify eligibility until the U.S. Attorney General has promulgated regulations implementing a verification requirement. See id. § 1642(a); § 1642(b) (“Not later than 24 months after the date the regulations described in subsection (a) are adopted, a State that administers a program that provides a Federal public benefit shall have in effect a verification system that complies with the regulations.”). The Attorney General is yet to promulgate a final regulation implementing a verification requirement. See Interim Guidance on Verification of Citizenship, Qualified Alien Status and Eligibility Under Title IV of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, 62 Fed. Reg. 61344 (Nov. 17, 1997); Verification of Eligibility for Public Benefits, 63 Fed. Reg. 41662 (Aug. 4, 1998) (proposed rule). By requiring grant recipients to verify eligibility by using SAVE (or an equivalent system) without the benefit of implementing regulations and/or the two-year ramp-up period, Defendants are attempting to rewrite PRWORA, not implement it.
The Hyde Amendment also does not authorize the challenged funding condition that requires the Non-CoC HUD Plaintiffs to certify that no grant funds will be used “to promote elective abortions.” Dkt. No. 1854 at ¶¶ 494, 520.
The Hyde Amendment bars use of federal funds to pay for or to require a person to facilitate an abortion; it does not prohibit federally funded programs from promoting elective abortions, which could be read to include providing program participants with information about lawful abortions. Pub. L. 118-42, §§ 202–03, 138 Stat. 153.

25 Lastly, the challenged funding conditions conflict with statutory provisions authorizing the HUD grant programs. Far from barring diversity-related “inclusion,” Congress requires consideration of diversity when allocating HUD funds. For instance, the HUD Secretary is required to set aside CDBG funds for “[s]pecial purpose grants,” including grants to “historically Black colleges.” 42 U.S.C. § 5307(b)(2); see also id. § 5307(c) (requiring CDBG funds be allocated to provide “assistance to economically disadvantaged and minority students”). And in authorizing the HOME and HOPWA programs, Congress acted to “improve housing opportunities for all residents of the United States, particularly members of disadvantaged minorities, on a nondiscriminatory basis.” 42 U.S.C. § 12702(3). Congress also requires HOME recipients “to establish and oversee a minority outreach program . . . to ensure the inclusion, to the maximum extent possible, of minorities and women, and entities owned by minorities and women . . . in all contracts[] entered into by the participating jurisdiction.” 42 U.S.C. § 12831(a).
Based on the foregoing, the Court concludes that the Non-CoC HUD Plaintiffs are likely to prevail on their claim that in attempting to impose the challenged funding conditions on the recipients of non-CoC funds, Defendants have run afoul of the Separation of Powers doctrine, and are acting in excess of statutory authority, and that under the APA, those conditions must be set aside.
(c) The HHS Grants Funding Conditions
Defendants’ attempts to identify statutory authority for imposing the contested conditions on the HHS grants suffer from similar deficiencies. As an initial matter, Defendants once again rely on agency regulations for the authority to impose the conditions, but as noted above, agency regulations are not the equivalent of statutory authority, and HHS’ attempt to rely on them also Case 2:25-cv-00814-BJR Document 338 Filed 08/12/25 Page 29 of 50

25 fails. Nor does Defendants’ reliance on generic statutory provisions authorizing the HHS Secretary to prescribe the “form and manner” for grant applications and the “information” it must “contain” fair any better. Dkt. No. 335 at 6 (citing 42 U.S.C. §§ 254b(k)(1), 300ff-15(a), (b), 290ee-1(b)(1)(B)). These provisions only encompass prescriptions as to form, manner, and information, and Defendants’ claim that such ministerial provision authorize wide-ranging substantive conditions on hotly debated policy choices runs afoul of the well-established principle that “Congress … does not alter the fundamental details of a regulatory scheme in vague terms or ancillary provisions—it does not, one might say, hide elephants in mouseholes.” Whitman v. Am. Trucking Ass’ns, 531 U.S. 457, 468 (2001).
Defendants also invoke Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972, which prohibits sex discrimination by federal education funding recipients, as authority for requiring HHS grant recipients to comply with Presidential Executive Order 14168 “Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government.” This Executive Order mandates that “[f]ederal funds shall not be used to promote gender ideology” and requires grant recipients to “recognize two sexes, male and female” and that “[t]hese sexes are not changeable and are grounded in fundamental and incontrovertible reality.” But nothing in Title IX mandates such understandings. To the contrary, as cited above courts have concluded that failure to recognize an individual’s transgender status constituted discrimination under Title IX. See e.g., Grimm v. Gloucester Cnty. Sch. Bd., 972 F.3d 586, 616– 17 (4th Cir. 2020) (transgender student’s exclusion from bathroom constituted Title IX discrimination); A.C. by M.C. v. Metro. Sch. Dist. of Martinsville, 75 F.4th 760, 769 (7th Cir. 2023) (“[D]iscrimination against transgender persons is sex discrimination for Title IX purposes Case 2:25-cv-00814-BJR Document 338 Filed 08/12/25 Page 30 of 50

25 . . . .”). As such, far from enforcing Title IX, Defendants seek to graft new requirements into the statute.
Accordingly, the Court concludes that the HHS Plaintiffs are likely to prevail on their claim that in attempting to impose the conditions in the 2025 HHS GPS and the various operating agencies and divisions’ terms and conditions, Defendants have acted in a manner that violates the Separation of Powers doctrine and exceeds statutory authority, and that under the APA those conditions must be set aside.
2. Defendants’ Actions Were “Arbitrary and Capricious,” 5 U.S.C. § 702(2)(A) (Count 5)
Plaintiffs also assert that the challenged conditions must be set aside as “arbitrary” and “capricious.” 5 U.S.C. § 706(2)(A); Dkt. No. 184 at ¶¶ 671-688. The APA requires agencies to engage in “reasoned decisionmaking,” and their actions must be “reasonable and reasonably explained.” Michigan v. EPA, 576 U.S. 743, 750 (2015); Ohio v. EPA, 603 U.S. 279, 292 (2024) (cleaned up). An agency must offer “a satisfactory explanation for its action,” and cannot rely on “factors which Congress has not intended it to consider.” Motor Vehicle Mfrs. Ass’n of U.S., Inc. v. State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co., 463 U.S. 29, 43 (1983). Plaintiffs maintain that Defendants have not followed these prescriptions and have failed to provide reasonable explanations for any of the challenged funding conditions.
Defendants do not dispute that they have not offered contemporary, reasoned explanations for the imposition of the challenged funding conditions; rather, they argue that they are not required to do so because the conditions are not subject to notice-and-comment rulemaking. Defendants are mistaken. “The APA, by its terms, provides a right to judicial review of all ‘final agency action for which there is no other adequate remedy in a court,’” Bennett v.

EPA, 934 F.3d 627, 635–36 (D.C. Cir. 2019). Defendants do not contest that the challenged funding conditions are final agency actions. As such, each agency must have “reasonably considered the relevant issues and reasonably explained its decision” to impose the challenged conditions. Barton v. Off. of Navajo, 125 F.4th 978, 982 (9th Cir. 2025) (cleaned up).
At most, the Defendants rely on reference to the Trump Administration’s executive orders to justify the imposition of the challenged funding conditions, but as this Court previously stated “rote incorporation of executive orders—especially ones involving politically charged policy matters that are the subject of intense disagreement and bear no substantive relations to the agency’s underlying action—does not constitute ‘reasoned decisionmaking.’” Dkt. No. 169 at
38. Thus, the Court concludes that Plaintiffs are likely to succeed on the merit of their claim that Defendants’ imposition of the challenged funding conditions is arbitrary and capricious, which is an independent ground for setting aide those conditions.10 10 Plaintiffs have asserted several other claims both under the APA and under the Constitution. See Dkt. No. 184 at ¶¶ 630-669, 704-724. The Court does not reach these claims at this stage, in part because “[t]he Court need only find that Plaintiffs are likely to succeed on one of [their] claims for [the likelihood-of-success] factor to weigh in favor of a preliminary injunction,” and a ruling on Plaintiffs’ additional claims would not affect the relief afforded. Aids Vaccine Advoc. Coal. v. United States Dep’t of State, No. CV 25-00400 (AHA), 2025 WL 752378, at *7 (D.D.C.
Mar. 10, 2025). Furthermore, the Court adheres to the “fundamental and longstanding principle of judicial restraint” that requires courts to “avoid reaching constitutional questions in advance of the necessity of deciding them.” Al Otro Lado v. Exec. Off. for Immigr. Rev., No. 22-55988, 2024 WL 5692756, at *14 (9th Cir.

Wash. 2020) (“[A] court should not reach a constitutional question if there is some other ground upon which to dispose of the case. Given that this Court has already determined that Defendants’ [action] violates the APA and, therefore, can dispose of the case on that basis, the Court exercises restraint and declines to reach the constitutional claims raised by Washington.”) (cleaned up, citing Nw.

25 D. Irreparable Injury
A plaintiff seeking a preliminary injunction must establish that it is likely to suffer irreparable harm in the absence of preliminary relief. Winter, 555 U.S. at 20. Such harm “is traditionally defined as harm for which there is no adequate legal remedy, such as an award of damages.” Arizona Dream Act Coal. v. Brewer, 757 F.3d 1053, 1068 (9th Cir. 2014) (citing Rent–A–Ctr., Inc. v. Canyon Television & Appliance Rental, Inc., 944 F.2d 597, 603 (9th Cir.1991)).
The Court addressed this issue when previously granting preliminary relief, stating:
Plaintiffs allege several forms of irreparable harm that are either presently occurring, or are likely to occur, in the absence of injunctive relief. They are facing a choice between two untenable options; as this Court has already determined, ‘Defendants have put Plaintiffs in the position of having to choose between accepting conditions that they believe are unconstitutional and risking the loss of hundreds of millions of dollars in federal grant funding, including funding that they have already budgeted and are committed to spending.’ On the one hand, being forced to accept conditions that are contrary either to statute or to the Constitution (or both) is a constitutional injury, and constitutional injuries are ‘unquestionably’ irreparable. Hernandez v. Sessions, 872 F.3d 976, 994 (9th Cir. 2017).
On the other hand, avoiding the constitutional offense by refusing to agree to the new funding conditions may very well result in the loss of access to promised grant funds. And indeed, Defendants have not denied that Plaintiffs would be assuming this risk by not signing the agreements. They merely complain that Plaintiffs have not provided details as to when exactly that loss will occur. But this argument misses the point. It is this looming risk itself that is the injury, and one that Plaintiffs are already suffering. Courts evaluating similar circumstances have recognized that this injury of acute budgetary uncertainty is irreparable; ‘[w]ithout clarification regarding the Order’s scope or legality, the Counties will be obligated to take steps to mitigate the risk of losing millions of dollars in federal funding, which will include placing funds in reserve and making cuts to services. These mitigating steps will cause the Counties irreparable harm.’ Santa Clara v. Trump, 250 F. Supp. 3d 497, 537 (N.D. Cal. 2017). While a preliminary injunction will not eliminate these risks entirely, Plaintiffs have demonstrated it will at least mitigate them pending Powers doctrine, and in excess of Defendants’ statutory authority, and must therefore be set aside under the APA— the Court’s inquiry into the likelihood-of-success factor is at an end.

25 resolution of this case on its merits.
Furthermore, Plaintiffs have submitted substantive and detailed evidence illustrating the ways in which a loss of grant funds would be devastating and irreparable if these risks in fact materialize. . . . . The administration’s attempt to compel Plaintiffs’ compliance with unrelated policy objectives by leveraging the needs of our most vulnerable fellow human beings is breathtaking in its callousness.
Defendants’ argument that these harms are not irreparable is simply wrong.
Dkt. No. 169 at 39-42 (some internal citations omitted).
Plaintiffs have once again provided comprehensive evidence (in the form of nearly 100 declarations from local government and agency administrators, see dkt. nos. 187-282) demonstrating that should the loss of the grant funds come to pass, the resulting harm would be severe and irreparable. In addition, Plaintiffs have provided substantial evidence demonstrating that this harm is not, as Defendants suggest, merely monetary in nature. Adequate financial compensation for the destabilization of immediate and future budgets, reductions in workforce, hundreds of shelter-unstable families losing access to housing, loss of access to health care services to vulnerable populations, and the termination of transportation projects simply does not exist. Therefore, the Court concludes that the harms Plaintiffs have alleged are quintessentially irreparable in nature and can be avoided only by entry of the requested injunction.
E. The Balance of Equities and Public Interest Favor Plaintiffs In deciding whether to grant an injunction, “courts must balance the competing claims of injury and must consider the effect on each party of the granting or withholding of the requested relief.” Disney Enters, 869 F.3d at 866 (quoting Winter, 555 U.S. at 24). Courts “explore the relative harms to applicant and respondent, as well as the interests of the public at large.” Barnes v. E-Sys., Inc. Grp. Hosp. Med. & Surgical Ins. Plan, 501 U.S. 1301, 1305 (1991) (internal quotation marks and citation omitted). Where the government is a party, the balance of equities Case 2:25-cv-00814-BJR Document 338 Filed 08/12/25 Page 34 of 50

25 and public interest factors merge. Drakes Bay Oyster Co. v. Jewell, 747 F.3d 1073, 1092 (9th Cir. 2014) (citing Nken v. Holder, 556 U.S. 418, 435 (2009)).
Defendants once again argue that the balance of equities and the public interest favor Defendants because “[en]suring compliance with federal laws is assuredly in the public interest.” Dkt. No. 334 at 14. But as discussed supra, the contested funding conditions are not congressionally authorized, nor do they merely seek compliance with federal law. Defendants do not have a legitimate interest in ensuring that funds are spent pursuant to conditions that were likely imposed in violation of the APA and/or the Constitution. See Valle del Sol Inc. v. Whiting, 732 F.3d 1006, 1029 (9th Cir. 2013) (there is no legitimate government interest in violating federal law). Defendants also contend that “Plaintiffs could be compensated for any lost money after a ruling on the merits” in this case. Dkt. No. 334 at 14. The Court has already rejected the notion that Plaintiffs could be adequately compensated for the devastation that would result from the loss of the federal funding. Thus, for the reasons outlined above, the irreparable harms Plaintiffs face in the absence of an injunction tip the balance of equities sharply in their favor.
F. The Court Denies Defendants’ Request for a Bond and Request to Stay Defendants request that if this Court issues an injunction, it be stayed pending any appeal and further requests that this Court require Plaintiffs to post a bond for the value of the specific grants subject to the injunction pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(c). The Court denies both requests.
Defendants have not met the standard for a stay. See, e.g., Maryland v. Dep’t of Agriculture, JKB25-0748, 2025 WL 800216, at *26 (D. Md. Mar. 13, 2025) (“It is generally logically inconsistent for a court to issue a TRO or preliminary injunction and then stay that order, as the findings on which those decisions are premised are almost perfect opposites.”).

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT – CONSENT AGENDA
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
GEORGE RODERICKS, CITY MANAGER
FROM: WILLIAM BURSE, PUBLIC WORKS MAINTENANCE MANAGER
VIA: ROBERT OVADIA, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
DATE: JUNE 17, 2026
SUBJECT: AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR THE STREETLIGHT POLE
PAINTING PROJECT
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Council award a construction contract for Streetlight Pole Painting to the lowest responsive bidder, Craft Works Painting, of San Mateo, for $80,645.62 for the painting of 100 streetlight poles and authorize change orders up to 10%; direct the City Attorney to prepare the contract; and authorize the City Manager to execute the contract on behalf of the Town.
BACKGROUND
The Town currently maintains approximately 245 streetlight poles. Over time, exposure to weather, sunlight, and normal aging has caused many of the existing poles to become faded, discolored, and rusted, impacting both their appearance and long-term condition. The FY 2025-26 Capital improvement Program Budget included an allocation of $100,000 to initiate a project to repaint streetlight poles throughout the Town.
The Town Since January 2026, the Town has been researching options and outreaching to contractors for the repainting of streetlight poles. Outreach included email and direct solicitation and site visits with various contractors to solicit informal bids for the project. Due to concerns regarding pricing and available budget, the solicitation included a request for pricing for the preparation and painting of 245 poles and 100 poles, which would allow for a phased approach.
ANALYSIS
Following outreach and site visits with four (4) contractors, the Public Works Maintenance Manager received informal bids from two companies for streetlight painting as follows:
Streetlight Pole Painting
JUNE 17, 2026
CONTRACTOR LOCATION BID
Craft Works Painting (100 poles) San Mateo $80,645.62
Craft Works Painting (245 poles) San Mateo $166,802.56
Bernabe Vasquez Painting (100 poles) Menlo Park $119,500.00 Bernabe Vasquez Painting (245 poles) Menlo Park no response California Custom Painting San Ramon no response
Falker Construction Vallejo no response
As indicated above, to remain within the approved budget while addressing the most visibly deteriorated poles, staff is recommending a phased approach to the project. This phased strategy will allow the Town to improve the appearance of key corridors and neighborhoods while preserving funding flexibility for future phases. Staff will continue to evaluate the remaining poles and develop recommendations for subsequent repainting efforts as funding becomes available.
Staff also recommend that the Council authorize a 10% contingency for unforeseen costs.
FISCAL IMPACT
The FY 2025/26 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget included an allocation of $100,000 for streetlight painting. Sufficient funds are available for the recommended award in the amount of $80,645.62 and the additional 10% contingency.

This Report and its contents are in alignment with the following Council Policy Goals:
• Goal A - Preserve Small Town Character & Quality of Life • Goal E - Maintain and Improve Public Infrastructure

It identifies potential natural and human-caused hazards that could affect residents, businesses, and services in the community. The purpose of the Community Safety Element is to establish a framework that identifies and anticipates these hazards and prepares the community to minimize risks and harm resulting from these hazards.
The Community Safety Element identifies the natural and human-caused hazards that affect Atherton, describes present and expected future conditions, and sets goals and policies to minimize

hazards to safety. This includes efforts to protect the health and safety of community members, minimize physical harm to the buildings and infrastructure, and reduce damage to local economic systems, community services, and ecosystems. The last time the Town updated its Safety Element was in 2020 as part of a comprehensive effort to update the entire General Plan.
State Law Requirements for Safety Elements
California Government Code Section 65302(g) contains the requirements for Safety Elements, including that it must be updated upon each revision of the housing element or local hazard mitigation plan, but not less than once every eight years. A series of recent legislative changes has significantly expanded the content requirements for Safety Elements. Key legislation includes:
• Senate Bill (SB) 379 (2017), codified in Section 65302(g)(4), requires local governments to conduct vulnerability assessments as part of their long-range planning efforts and to prepare resilience and adaptation policies that will protect against harm caused by climate change.
Therefore, an assessment is prepared with each Safety Element update. The updated vulnerability assessment prepared for this update to the Community Safety Element is included as Appendix B.
• SB 1035 (2018) established Section 65302(g)(6) of the California Government Code, requiring jurisdictions to review and update the Safety Element upon updates to the Housing Element and Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP), or at least every eight years. An update to the Housing Element was certified by the State in May 2025. This Community Safety Element update will incorporate the multijurisdictional LHMP approved in 2021. The effort to update the 2026 LHMP is underway and receiving public comment through June 15, 2026. • SB 99 (2019) established Section 65302(g)(5) of the California Government Code and requires jurisdictions to review and update the Safety Element to include information identifying residential developments in hazard areas that do not have at least two emergency evacuation routes. This update to the Community Safety Element institutes expanded discussion and mapping that identifies hazards and evacuation routes. • Assembly Bill (AB) 747 (2019) established Section 65302.15 of the California Government Code. It required jurisdictions to identify evacuation routes and their capacity, safety, and viability. AB 1409 (2021) amended this section to include identifying evacuation locations.
This requirement is being addressed by the county-wide All-Hazards Evacuation Plan, which is currently in progress and which Atherton is participating in. • AB 2684 (2024) added Section 65302.01 to the California Government Code, requiring jurisdictions to identify areas most vulnerable to extreme heat, assess health and infrastructure risks, and include goals, policies, and implementation measures to address those risks. This requirement takes effect January 1, 2028.
In addition to the Safety Element laws identified above, other state laws have requirements that tier from Safety Elements. Included in this update is are updates to comply with SB 1425, which requires every California jurisdiction to review and update its Open Space Element to address specified issues, including climate resilience and other cobenefits of open space, correlated with the Safety Element.
Purpose of the Community Safety Element and General Plan Update Atherton's Community Safety Element was last updated in 2020. The update described in this staff report is undertaken to bring the Town’s General Plan into full compliance with the State laws described above, to incorporate the results of a new climate vulnerability assessment, and to reflect Page 165 of 538 Amendments to General Plan Elements

updated hazard information and community priorities. The update includes revised and new goals, policies, and implementation actions organized around the hazard topics addressed in the element.
Updates to the Community Safety Element necessitated text edits to the Open Space and Conservation Element, as well as the Circulation Element, to ensure conformity across the General Plan. Additionally, the recent passage of SB 1425 (2022) requires that Open Space Elements be updated to address equal access for all residents, climate resilience, and other cobenefits of open space, correlated with the safety element.
Community Outreach
Throughout the multi-year effort to prepare the Community Safety Element and General Plan Update the Town has conducted public outreach at various milestones. Staff first introduced the project to the Planning Commission and City Council as an informational item at their meetings on January 24, 2024 and February 26, 2024, respectively. Additionally, staff held public workshops on May 13, 2024 and November 11, 2025, and coordinated with Get Ready Atherton (formerly A.D.A.P.T.) to integrate comments at various draft stages. Planning staff also collected feedback from the Town’s Public Works, Building and Police Departments, as well as Menlo Fire.
Prior to this adoption effort, a preliminary draft was hosted on the Town’s General Plan website to solicit comments for 30 days.
Town staff initiated a webpage on the Planning Department’s General Plan page that provided an overview of the process to update the Community Safety Element. Draft versions of the three General Plan Elements proposed for amendments were available via links and the comment period was identified as closing on December 31, 2025.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Community Safety Element update qualifies for a CEQA exemption under the common-sense exemption set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3). This exemption applies where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility the activity may have a significant effect on the environment. The CEQA Exemption Memorandum and Notice of Exemption form are provided as Attachment 1. Key findings include:
• The Community Safety Element update is a program-level policy document establishing a framework for addressing hazards and does not commit the jurisdiction to any specific development action.
• The update does not include land use or zoning changes, does not increase development potential, and does not grant entitlements for development projects. • No provisions of the update would result in direct or indirect population growth or place additional demands on natural resources, public services, or infrastructure. • Future implementation actions that could affect the environment, such as code amendments, capital projects, or other physical improvements, would be subject to separate CEQA review at the time they are prepared, as applicable.
Following adoption of the Community Safety Element, staff will file the Notice of Exemption with the San Mateo County Clerk and post it with the State Clearinghouse, as required.

REVIEW BY OTHER AGENCIES
As part of the Safety Element update process, the draft Safety Element was circulated to the following State agencies for review, as required by California Government Code Section 65302.5:
• California Geological Survey (CGS): All Safety Elements must be submitted to CGS for review prior to adoption. CGS reviews the Safety Element for adequacy of coverage of seismic, geologic, and related hazards.
• Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES): Safety Elements must be submitted to Cal OES for review. Cal OES reviews the Safety Element for consistency with the jurisdiction's LHMP. Confirmation from Cal OES that the Safety Element appropriately integrates the LHMP ensures the jurisdiction remains eligible for California Disaster Assistance Act (CDAA) funding.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The following section summarizes the revisions to the General Plan that are included in this project based on edits to the individual elements. A clean version of the new text for the Community Safety Element, the Conservation and Open Space Element and the Circulation Element are provided at Attachment 2. Appendices to the Community Safety Element are provided at Attachment 3. Trackedchanges of the revised Elements are provided at Attachment 4. Large format versions of the maps shown in the Elements are provided as Attachment 5.
Summary of Changes to the Community Safety Element
The updated Community Safety Element has been organized to address all hazard topics required by current State law and to reflect local conditions and community priorities identified through the planning and community engagement process. Key changes include:
• New coverage of climate change vulnerability, including the results of the Peninsula Resilience Planning (PREP) project vulnerability assessment, which analyzed current and projected future risks to people, buildings, infrastructure, and key services from a range of climate hazards. All information about existing hazard conditions was reviewed and updated as needed.
• The PREP project work resulted in an updated Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment that is summarized in Appendix B of the Community Safety Element. The Vulnerability Assessment Summary provides community members and decision makers with greater understanding of climate change hazards, such as extreme heat, flooding, and wildfire. The Vulnerability Assessment Summary provides guidance on which parts of the community should be prioritized for adaptation and resilience.
• Updated wildfire policies, including information on new Fire Hazard Severity Zones mapping.
• New content on emergency evacuation, including an analysis of residential areas that may lack two or more emergency evacuation routes, consistent with SB 99 requirements. • New policies addressing extreme heat, severe weather, and drought. • Updated hazard maps for all major hazard categories.
Amendments to General Plan Elements
June 17, 2026
• Updated references to Get Ready Atherton (formerly known as A.D.A.P.T., the Atherton Disaster and Preparedness Team), an all-volunteer group of Atherton residents that collaborate with Town officials, Atherton Police, and the Menlo Park Fire District. • A background report (attached as Appendix A to the Community Safety Element), documenting the current state of all hazards discussed in the element.
These amendments will bring the General Plan into alignment with the Multijurisdictional LHMP adopted in 2021, available on the San Mateo County website at:
https://www.smcgov.org/ceo/2021-multijurisdictional-lhmp.
Summary of Changes to the Open Space and Conservation Element The updated Open Space and Conservation Element has been amended to conform to amendments made to the Community Safety Element and other amendments, including:
• Discussion of the recently constructed Town Center Park. • Discussion of the implementation of the Town’s flood control project. • A new Goal (OSC-6) and Policy (OSC-6.1) to promote climate resilience and other cobenefits of open space and encourage a range of opportunities related to the preservation and enhancement of open space networks. This amendment serves to address the requirements of SB 1425, as discussed further below.
Summary of Changes to the Circulation Element
The updated Circulation Element has been amended to conform to amendments made to the Community Safety Element and other amendments, including:
• Discussion of the recent closure of Atherton Train Station. • Discussion of the recent improvement to Watkins Avenue rail crossing.
General Plan Compliance with SB 1425
As noted above, SB 1425 requires local jurisdictions to address equal access for all residents, climate resilience, and other co-benefits of open space, correlated with the safety element.
Jurisdictions are required to demonstrate compliance with SB 1425 by January 1, 2026. The Town is delayed in this effort for the purpose of aligning it with the broader Safety Element efforts. State law limits the number of times a jurisdiction may update their General Plan within a year.
SB 1425 requires that the General Plan shall contain self-mandated local programs that promote:
• Access to open space for all residents in a manner that considers social, economic, and racial equity, correlated with the environmental justice element or environmental justice policies in the general plan, as applicable.
• Climate resilience and other co-benefits of open space, correlated with the safety element.
Compliance with SB 1425 is mostly accomplished by a series of existing General Plan Policies.
These include:
• Action OSC-1.1: Minimum lot sizes, setback restrictions, height limitations, tree protection and preservation, and sign regulations shall be employed to accomplish open space and conservation objectives.
Amendments to General Plan Elements
June 17, 2026
• Action OSC-1.2: The Town shall evaluate the potential for cooperative recreational use of existing school sites.
• Action OSC-3.1: The Town will continue to seek and coordinate partnering opportunities for shared green infrastructure projects with other public and private entities and property owners, as feasible.
• Action OSC-3.2: The Town will encourage property owners to incorporate water conservation techniques into their landscaping to reduce water usage and use green infrastructure techniques to capture and/or treat rainfall and stormwater runoff at its source, as feasible.
The addition of a new Goal and new Policy proposed for the Open Space and Conservation Element will directly address the remaining requirements of SB 1425. These are:
• Goal OSC-6: Promote climate resilience and other co-benefits of open space, correlated with the Community Safety Element and the Town’s Climate Action Plan. • Policy OSC-6.1: Encourage opportunities to preserve, enhance, and expand an integrated network of open space to support beneficial uses, such as habitat, recreation, natural resources, historic and tribal resources, water management, and aesthetics.
ANALYSIS
Atherton General Plan Amendments
State law requires the Town to maintain a General Plan with specific elements to provide a vision for the Town’s future and inform local decisions about land use and development. The Atherton Municipal Code (AMC) Chapter 17.23 addresses General Plan Amendments. AMC Section
17.23.040 notes that a general plan amendment may be initiated by the Town to clarify text, address changes mandated by State law, maintain internal general plan consistency, or for any other reason beneficial to the town. As previously indicated, this effort is to align with state mandates.
