Chipping Program Services Agreement
STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: December 3, 2024
Agency: City of Belmont
Staff Contact: Brigitte Shearer, Parks & Recreation Director, [email protected] Agenda Title: Agreement with Bay Area Tree Service, Inc. for Residential Chipping Services Agenda Action: Motion
Recommendation
Approve a motion authorizing the City Manager to negotiate and execute a service agreement for an amount not to exceed $30,000 plus a 10% contingency for a total not to exceed $33,000 for up to 10 days of residential chipping services in western Belmont.
Strategic Focus Area
Public Safety
Background
Since 2021, Belmont has offered chipping services to select residences whose properties abut Belmont’s open space in Waterdog Lake and San Juan Canyon to assist property owners in establishing or maintaining defensible space around their homes. Home hardening, including establishment of defensible space, is a best practice due to continued risk of wildfire and the likelihood of more intense fires due to climate related events in recent years. Since the start of the program each year, residents in a specific area of Belmont were notified of the opportunity to place a pile of cut brush, branches, or logs at their driveways to be collected and chipped free of charge by the City. The scope of the work area was limited by staff and equipment resources. Outreach was done by mail and followed by City staff or volunteers visiting each address in that years’ service area. To address the importance of clearing vegetation within 100 feet of structures, San Mateo Consolidated Fire recently implemented a private property inspection program through which homeowners are notified of actions they can take to reduce fire risk on their property. In some cases, proactively addressing such needs can also assist homeowners in preserving their home insurance coverage. In Fiscal Year 2021-22, the City received a $325,000 grant from CalFire to address vegetation management and fuel reduction in and around its 300+ acres of open space. To date, funds have been expended to prepare a treatment plan which describes methods for safe and environmentally appropriate fuel reduction along the emergency access roads within Belmont’s open space. Solicitation for proposals to conduct this fuel reduction work will be issued in early 2025. The grant also provides funding for education and outreach to the community regarding home hardening, defensible space, and other fire safety action steps, as well as funding for residential chipping services. 13
Chipping Program Services Agreement
Analysis
On September 16, 2024, the City issued a request for proposals for residential chipping services. The scope of work included collecting and chipping materials at participating addresses west of Alameda de Las Pulgas, recording information for grant administration, and disposing of wood chips at at the Shoreway Materials Recovery Facility. Four proposals were received and evaluated on the following weighted categories: Company Experience (30%), Quality of Service (30%), Pricing (20%), and Professionalism (20%). Based on these criteria, Bay Area Tree Service, Inc., was selected to provide the services.
In December, the City will begin notifying residents west of Alameda de las Pulgas of the opportunity to participate in the chipping program in the spring. Service dates will be published for each service area in early January and accompanying education and outreach will occur. The community is strongly encouraged to participate in this free program.
To move forward with the selected vendor, staff requests that the City Council approve a motion authorizing the City Manager to negotiate and execute a Service Agreement for an amount not to exceed $30,000 plus a 10% contingency for a total not to exceed $33,000 for up to 10 days of residential chipping services in western Belmont.

Dear NAME,
You are receiving this letter because your property has been designated as having a significant wildfire risk within a Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) Zone. Beginning late spring of each year, San Mateo Consolidated Fire Department will begin inspecting properties in a designated Wildland Urban Interface zone to determine compliance with the regulations outlined in the Fire Code Ordinance. Your property must be in compliance with these standards every year.
If your property is not in compliance with the ordinance at the time of the initial inspection, you will be issued an official Notice of Violation and your property will be re-inspected.
Properties that are not in compliance on or after re-inspection are in violation and may be subjected to fines and/or fees, and the property may, at our discretion, be abated, and the costs charged through a tax lien which can be placed on the property in an amount equal to the cost of the work performed, plus re-inspection fee and administrative fees, if not previously paid.
For more information on abatement standards, please visit us at https://www.smcfire.org/wui or call our office at 650-522-7940.
Sincerely,
San Mateo Consolidated Fire Department

Staff Report - Signage & Wayfinding Program - 12-3-24CC – Signage & Wayfinding Program
STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: December 3, 2024
Agency: City of Belmont
Staff Contact: Carlos de Melo, Community Development Director, (650) 595-7440 [email protected]
Agenda Title: Signage & Wayfinding Program
Agenda Action: Resolution
Recommendation
Consider and approve the Belmont Signage & Wayfinding Program.
Strategic Focus Area
Quality of Life
Background
The 2035 General Plan (GP) and Belmont Village Specific Plan (BVSP) were adopted in November 2017. The adopted GP & BVSP policies outline potential future growth due to the proximity to public transit; facilitate a roadmap to guide future development and works collectively to create lively and attractive public spaces and a unique sense of community and social connectivity in Belmont.
Both the 2035 General Plan and Belmont Village Specific Plan (BVSP) include numerous policies with a focus on enhancing Belmont’s character and image as a desirable community with distinct visual qualities, small-town character, and connections to nature and open space. BVSP goals/policies more specifically center on identifying and developing the Belmont Village as a vibrant town center for residents and visitors with commercial, residential, dining, civic, cultural, and entertainment activities.
Both long-range planning documents support revitalization of the City through public investments in infrastructure, parking, streetscapes, and public spaces. As a result, one of the Council’s Strategic Focus Area is to implement “Placemaking” improvements via evaluation of entry point and neighborhood identification, wayfinding signage, streetscape design/features, and public art. Key Placemaking goals are as follows:
1. Define programs which will inform residents and visitors of Belmont’s commitment to economic development, displaying and encouraging public art, enhancing the customer experience, and celebrating the vitality of Belmont’s unique neighborhoods and natural features. 18
Staff Report - Signage & Wayfinding Program - 12-3-24CC – Signage & Wayfinding Program
2. Integrate these programs to mesh with Council’s Top Priorities (e.g., Implementation of 2035 General Plan and Belmont Village Specific Plan (BVSP), and development of the Twin Pines Master Plan)
3. Implement specific capital improvement projects which support these objectives.
A key Placemaking outcome centers on facilitating and completing three distinct but connected projects:
• Public Art Master Plan (Adopted by City Council – September 2020) • BVSP Streetscape Design Guidelines (Adopted by City Council – November 2022) • Signage/Wayfinding Program (the focus of this agenda item’s action to adopt such program) Both the 2035 General Plan and Belmont Village Specific Plan (BVSP) include policies with a focus on enhancing Belmont’s character and image as a desirable community with distinct visual qualities, smalltown character, and connections to nature and open space. City-wide goals/policies also identify developing both the Belmont Village and other commercial centers as vibrant town centers for residents and visitors with commercial, residential, dining, civic, cultural, and entertainment activities. Both longrange planning documents support revitalization of the City (with a strong emphasis within the BVSP area) through public investments in infrastructure, parking, streetscapes, and public spaces.
Analysis
Signage & Wayfinding Program
Development of the Signage/Wayfinding Program is critical in defining vehicular/pedestrian/bicyclist level navigation and guidance “finishing touches” within key street corridors of the City. The main corridors focus on signage along Ralston Avenue and El Camino Real, but also Alameda De Las Pulgas, Old County Road and adjacent to selected neighborhood entry areas. Signage/Wayfinding Program objectives seek to:
• Express the characteristics of Belmont through environmental graphics and wayfinding. • Develop a cohesive system that works for visitors and residents. • Create a wayfinding system to direct and orient people to main destinations. • Unify and refresh public signage throughout the city through branding.
Belmont’s signage and wayfinding program is designed to project a consistent image for the community; improve navigation for all modes of travel; guide visitors to landmarks, facilities, and services; establish appropriately themed entry point and neighborhood identification, promote walking, bicycling and mass transit; and be sustainable as well as expandable.
Wayfinding programs in urban areas remain essential despite the widespread use of navigation apps. They enhance the overall urban experience by improving accessibility, placemaking, and fostering a sense of community. Connected goals of Belmont’s program are:

Staff Report - Signage & Wayfinding Program - 12-3-24CC – Signage & Wayfinding Program • Consistent branding to create uniform design elements across signs and structures and create a cohesive identity for the area.
• To create a signage and wayfinding system that directs visitors to landmarks & historic resource properties; activity/service centers including, but not limited to: entry points, the BVSP Area, Shopping Centers, Twin Pines Civic Center, restaurant and retail clusters, parking garages/lots, mass transit, parks/community facilities, residential neighborhoods, and nearby destinations. • Multi-modal integration that caters to pedestrians, cyclists, public transit users, and drivers. • To enhance placemaking elements by incorporating local history, culture, or art into signage and entry monuments to create a sense of place.
• To establish an ongoing administration and maintenance plan for the system. • To provide for landmarks and orientation aids, and establish entry point and neighborhood identifications such as entry monuments to help users orient themselves.
Well-designed streets, public realm improvements, and wayfinding signage complement surrounding land uses and provide for attractive, safe, and efficient circulation for all users and all modes of transportation.
To achieve a “Complete Streets” balance, multiple strategies are needed to promote mobility improvements, and wayfinding signage aids this goal. In addition, extending the civic brand beyond print and web applications, further establishes a unique sense of place for Belmont. Because signage is visible on key corridors that connect visitors to civic destinations and parks, it often reinvents and strengthens the civic brand as a memorable place. Wayfinding systems work as a complement to digital tools, providing context, enriching user experiences, and ensuring accessibility for all.
The City engaged Hunt Design Inc. in 2019 to assist in completing the Signage/Wayfinding project, and has also worked with the City Council Placemaking Subcommittee (Davina Hurt & Julia Mates) to develop and evaluate various options/components of the program. Signage/Wayfinding components (communicated via the attached presentation) are provided as part of this report (See Attachment B).
Community Outreach
City staff has conducted multiple public events/outreach efforts to inform the community of the project; a City Council Update (April 2020); Zoom Public Outreach Meeting (November 2020); Planning Commission project update (January 2021); and city-wide survey (March 2022) focusing on the BVSP Streetscape Guidelines effort and the City’s Signage/Wayfinding project.
While the project had been on pause to allow for completion of other key City economic development initiatives, staff reactivated efforts this summer to achieve program completion in concert with the overarching Placemaking objectives. In September 2024, the City hosted a Joint Planning and Parks & Recreation Commission Outreach/Feedback Meeting to receive a project update and assessment of the program scope/components. At that September 17, 2024 Joint Commission meeting, the Commissioners provided good feedback, were supportive of the effort, and concurred with advancing final Program components for review/adoption at tonight’s Council meeting. 20
Staff Report - Signage & Wayfinding Program - 12-3-24CC – Signage & Wayfinding Program Next Steps/Requested Council Action
The presentation (Attachment B) and the intended overall program is designed to represent a signage/wayfinding family that includes directional signs, monuments, and banners that will be implemented City-wide in the future and informed by community input.
Based on Council concurrence of the sign type attributes shared tonight (and adoption of the attached Resolution), staff will prepare Capital Improvement Program (CIP) details that embody these elements in detailed drawings for each sign type, layout, and location. The Signage/Wayfinding CIP project is anticipated to be developed and return to Council for approval in concert with formulation of the Fiscal Year 2025-26 budget. Future work efforts are anticipated to include subsequent RFP preparation, selection of a design/construction firm, and implementation of the project.

RESOLUTION NO. 2024 –
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BELMONT
APPROVING THE BELMONT SIGNAGE AND WAYFINDING PROGRAM
WHEREAS, the Belmont 2020 Strategic Plan includes the promotion of placemaking and an environment that encourages attractive, functional, and sustainable streetscapes within public places as an objective of the “Quality of Life” Strategic Focus Area; and, WHEREAS, the City Council adopted the 2035 General Plan (GP) and Belmont Village Specific Plan (BVSP) in November 2017, which provides goals, policies, actions, design standards, and a list of specific implementation measures that help achieve the community’s citywide vision; and, WHEREAS, in 2017, the City established an ad hoc Placemaking Committee to advance public art, streetscape design, and signage/wayfinding objectives within Belmont; and, WHEREAS, in February 2019, the City engaged Hunt Design Inc. to assist in developing the detailed Signage & Wayfinding Program components to support the GP and BVSP placemaking vision, and conducting community outreach through presentations and an online survey; and,
WHEREAS, Belmont’s signage and wayfinding system is designed to project a consistent image for the community; improve navigation for all modes of travel; guide visitors to landmarks, facilities, and services; establish appropriately themed entry point and neighborhood identification, promote walking, bicycling and mass transit; and be sustainable as well as expandable; and,
WHEREAS, well-designed streets, public realm improvements, and wayfinding signage complement surrounding land uses and provide for attractive, safe, and efficient circulation for all users and all modes of transportation. To achieve a “Complete Streets” balance, multiple strategies are needed to promote mobility improvements, and wayfinding signage aids this goal.
Extending the civic brand beyond print and web applications also further establishes a unique sense of place for Belmont. Because signage is visible on key corridors that connect visitors to civic destinations and parks, it often reinvents and strengthens the civic brand as a memorable place; and,
WHEREAS, Program goals are manifested in: 1) creating a consistent signage and wayfinding system across a range of signage mediums; 2) creating a signage and wayfinding system that directs visitors to landmarks & historic resource properties, activity/service centers including, but not limited to: entry points, the BVSP Area, Shopping Centers, Twin Pines Civic Center, restaurant and retail clusters, parking garages/lots, mass transit, parks/community facilities, residential neighborhoods, and nearby destinations; 3) establishing signage and wayfinding links to city bicycle and pedestrian trails; 4) establishing an ongoing administration and maintenance plan for the system; and 5) evaluating and establishing entry point and neighborhood identifications such as entry monuments; and, 22
WHEREAS, Hunt Design Inc. has provided the City with a framework and attributes that make up the three main signage platforms envisioned in the program – Wayfinding/Directional, Entry Monument, and Banner Signage (as described in Exhibit B).
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Belmont resolves as follows:
SECTION 1. The City Council approves the Belmont Signage Wayfinding Program.
SECTION 2. City staff will prepare Capital Improvement Program (CIP) details that embody Signage/Wayfinding elements in detailed drawings for each sign type, layout, and location. The Signage/Wayfinding CIP project is anticipated to be developed and return to Council for approval in concert with formulation of the Fiscal Year 2025-26 budget. Future work efforts would subsequently include RFP preparation, selection of a design/construction firm, and implementation of the project. * * *
