City Council Salary - Staff Report
STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: November 28, 2023
Agency: City of Belmont
Staff Contact: Ann Ritzma, Interim Administrative Services Director [email protected] Agenda Title: Councilmember and Mayor Salary
Agenda Action: Ordinance
Recommendation
Introduce ordinance amending the salary for City Councilmembers from $390 per month to $950 per month per the newly enacted State of California Senate Bill 329 and considering additional compensation for the position of elected mayor.
Strategic Focus Area
Fiscal and Organizational Sustainability
Background
Senate Bill 329 (Chapter 27, Statutes of 2023 of the Regular Session of the California Legislature) amended Government Code Section 36516 effective January 1, 2024, to allow a city council in a city of up to and including 35,000 in population to set councilmember salaries by ordinance in an amount up to and including $950 per month. The salary for City of Belmont councilmembers is currently $390 per month and was last modified in 1995 by Ordinance 978 under Government Code Section 36516.
SB 329 was enacted to reduce economic barriers to individuals considering a run for elected office. Cal Cities, a co-sponsor of the bill stated: “Government officials, policy experts, and activists often cite low compensation as a barrier to elected office. In theory, anyone can run for elected office. However, lengthy time commitments and limited pay discourage many, especially low-income residents, single parents, people of color, and young people, from running. For many, being a council member is a full-time commitment with part-time pay.”
Increasing council salary was discussed at the September 12, 2023, and November 14, 2023, council meetings as a tool to encourage a more diverse and inclusive elected body. Many cities in San Mateo County have increased council salaries over the past ten years. Belmont has not increased council salary since 1995. For cities that provide a council salary, Belmont is one of the lowest at $390 per month.
A mayor elected pursuant to Government Code Sections 34900 to 34904, inclusive, may be provided with compensation in addition to that which he or she receives as a council member. That additional compensation may be provided by an ordinance adopted by the city council or by a majority vote of the electors voting on the proposition at a municipal election. An option used in other California cities is to establish the additional compensation as a percentage of the council member salary. 335
City Council Salary - Staff Report
Analysis
As directed at the City Council meeting on November 14, 2023, staff has prepared a proposed ordinance that increases council salary from $390 per month to $950 per month. As drafted, the ordinance includes an option for establishing additional compensation for the position of mayor as a percentage of the base councilmember salary. For example, additional compensation could be $95 per month which is 10% of the council salary of $950 per month.
A change in compensation does not apply to a councilmember during the councilmember’s term of office, but notwithstanding this general rule, the compensation of all members of a council serving staggered terms may be adjusted whenever one or more members of the city council becomes eligible for a salary increase by virtue of the councilmember beginning a new term of office. Members of the Belmont City Council serve staggered terms and the next regular council election will occur in November 2024.
With Council direction on the option for mayor compensation, the proposed ordinance can be finalized and introduced at this meeting and adopted at the next regular council meeting in December.
Alternatives
1. Introduce an ordinance amending Councilmember salary to $950 per month per Government Code Section 36516 without additional mayor and give direction whether to bring mayor compensation back at a later date.
2. Introduce an ordinance amending Councilmember salary from $390 per month to $950 per month per Government Code Section 36516 and compensation for the position of mayor as the salary of a member of the city council plus an additional amount equal to XX percent of the salary as authorized by Government Code Section 36516.1.
3. Return to staff.

Measure I Committee Appointments Appointments to the Measure I Advisory Committee - Staff Report
STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: November 28, 2023
Agency: City of Belmont
Staff Contact: Jozi Plut, City Clerk, 650-595-7414, [email protected] Agenda Title: Appointments to Measure I Advisory Committee Agenda Action: Resolution
Recommendation
Adopt a resolution appointing members to the Belmont Streets and City Service Advisory Committee (Measure I).
Strategic Focus Area
Fiscal and Organizational Sustainability
Background
At the November 2016 election, Belmont voters approved the Belmont Streets and City Services Measure (Measure I), a half-cent general sales tax for the next 30 years. The sales tax went into effect April 1, 2017. The City Council subsequently adopted an ordinance establishing an Advisory Committee for the implementation of the Measure I tax. The Committee’s primary purpose is to report annually to the City Council regarding the collection and expenditure of revenue from Measure I. The ordinance provides for a committee consisting of a minimum of three and maximum of five members, whose appointment will be for three years unless otherwise determined by the City Council.
Analysis
The main duties of the Advisory Committee are to review the annual audit prepared by the City’s independent auditor related to the prior fiscal year’s collection and expenditure of Measure I revenue and, and to transmit a report to Council regarding the accuracy of the auditor’s findings. It should be noted that, in order to preserve the integrity and independence of the advisory process, Committee members will not have a role in determining the use of revenue generated by Measure I. Measure I was passed as a general tax, and therefore the funds may be used for any valid governmental purpose. However, based on input received through community meetings and numerous surveys, the City Council has continued to direct that Measure I fund be utilized towards streets and storm drains infrastructure improvements.
In September of 2017, five people were appointed to the Measure I Advisory Committee. Subsequently, On October 21, 2020, five applicants applied to be appointed to a new three-year term. On March 2023 Council made an appointment for a vacated position, and in April 2023 a position was again vacated.
On November 15, 2023, Council held interviews for the five positions that are terming out. Four of five candidates appeared for interview. The ordinance provides for a committee consisting of a minimum of 339
Appointments to the Measure I Advisory Committee - Staff Report three and maximum of five members, whose appointment will be for three years or two years for staggered terms as determined by the City Council.
Alternatives
1. Extend the deadline for application to the Measure I Advisory Committee to seek other applicants

Cannabis Prequalification Process - Staff Report
STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: November 28, 2023
Agency: City of Belmont
Staff Contact: Kathy Kleinbaum, Assistant City Manager, [email protected] Agenda Title: Cannabis Business Prequalification Process Agenda Action: Discussion & Direction
Recommendation
Review and provide feedback on the proposed prequalification process and proposed community benefits for a cannabis retail and/or distribution business.
Strategic Focus Area
Economic Development and Housing
Background
The Belmont City Council has been evaluating allowing cannabis-related businesses to operate in the City since January 2021. On November 14, 2023, the City Council conducted a public hearing and adopted a resolution amending the Land Use Element to the 2035 General Plan that would potentially allow for Commercial Cannabis Land Uses and introduced a companion ordinance establishing potential cannabis retail and distribution zoning regulations for properties should they rezone within the area along south El Camino Real from O’Neill Avenue to the San Carlos border. The second reading of the ordinance is scheduled for November 28, 2023.
The adoption of the General Plan amendment and establishment of the overlay zone create a framework to allow for future consideration of up to two cannabis retail and one distribution businesses but do not authorize the uses until specific properties apply and are approved to be rezoned to the overlay district. At the November 14, 2023 meeting, staff provided information about a proposal process to pre-qualify potential businesses to apply for the rezoning. The City Council requested that staff return to City Council to have a more in-depth discussion on the proposal process and potential community benefits that would be considered as part of the process.
Analysis
To establish a cannabis land use, a proposed business would first need to apply to have their location rezoned to the S-3 Overlay District. In addition, the business would need to obtain a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to address potential light, glare, noise, traffic, and parking issues, and to ensure that these projects conform to specific development standards related to total number of permitted dispensaries, distance between dispensaries from schools, parks, and daycare facilities, hours of operation, customer management, and odor. Design Review would also be required for any new building or exterior building alteration to ensure projects are consistent with established requirements for building design, signage, and landscaping.
343
Cannabis Prequalification Process - Staff Report
The proposed business would also be required to apply for a Police Regulatory Permit which would require Police Department (PD) review and approval of operational/safety plans and state licensing to ensure that these uses operate in accordance with all applicable laws.
The review process for the rezoning and use permits will require the applicant to host a community meeting and to hold a public hearing at both the Planning Commission and City Council. The estimated timeline to complete this process is anticipated to be 6 months and will require payment of approximately $35,000 for the applicable permits.
Since May 2023, the City has received two proposals for establishment of cannabis retail dispensaries for certain properties along south El Camino Real and has met with other interested parties. Since the interest level currently exceeds the maximum allowable number of permits, staff has developed a “prequalification/interest process” to collect and evaluate proposals for rezoning to the S-3 Overlay District.
The intention of this process is to provide for potential business locations to be screened and prioritized prior to them going through the extensive and costly rezoning, CUP, and Police Regulatory Permit process.
The application form (Attachment A) is tailored based on the City Council and community feedback on November 14th and includes a number of areas to be addressed by the applicants. The proposal requirements include:
1. Proposal Submission Fee
2. Business Entity Information
3. Site Control
4. Location Information
5. Business Renderings and Retail Floor Plan
6. Qualifications of Owners
7. Business Operations Plan
8. Neighborhood Compatibility Plan
9. Security Plan
10. Community Benefits
Proposal Review Process
Staff will issue a solicitation for proposals which will have an established timeframe for submission.
Proposers would be required to pay a deposit of $3,000 plus a background check fee of $596 per business owner to cover staff costs for the review of their proposal. Staff will evaluate the appropriateness of the proposed cannabis use at the location, attributes of the location, business operations, security plan, and potential community benefits proposed by the applicants. A preliminary screening for disqualifying background history will also be performed. A preliminary draft of the solicitation for proposals is included as an Attachment to this report.
A multi-departmental team of staff, including, but not limited to, representatives from the City Manager’s Office, Police, and Community Development departments will review and evaluate the submitted proposals. Staff will identify up to two proposals that they could recommend for submitting a formal rezoning application. Staff anticipates processing the recommended proposal(s) before any other applications that may be received. Many of the materials submitted during the proposal process can be 344

reused for the full review process. Proposals that are not selected through this process may apply once the prequalified applications have completed their review process, provided that the maximum number of allowed businesses has not been exceeded.
Community Benefits
The solicitation for proposals requests that the businesses identify any community benefits they propose to offer as part of their operations. Community benefits include tangible benefits that the business commits to provide in excess of existing requirements on the business or in excess of public benefits or revenues normally associated with commercial activity. The commitment for community benefits for the cannabis business will likely be formalized in a development agreement. City Council feedback and prioritization is requested on possible community benefits from the potential business’ operators.
Examples of suggested public benefits include, but are not limited to:
• Labor practices, such as commitment to paying living wages to employees and/or employing local residents
• Payment of tax in-lieu until the time that a cannabis business tax is established • Commitment of contributions to City programs or services • Other economic benefits to the City
Next Steps
If the Council supports the proposal process outlined in this report, then staff will open the solicitation for proposals in December with an anticipated submission due date in late January. In addition, staff will bring forward the Police Regulatory ordinance governing the Cannabis Police Regulatory Permit Process plus any related fees that need to be added to the City’s Comprehensive Fee Schedule to the Council for review in January 2024.
