Belmont City Council Meeting Agenda June 10, 2025
1 To submit a written public comment:

E-mail [email protected] before the Council discusses the item, noting the agenda topic or number in the subject line. Comments received up to three hours before the meeting will be distributed to the Council and included in the record but not read aloud during the meeting..

The Mayor has the authority to rule any speaker out of order, including speakers during the Public Comment period; If the subject raised is not within the subject matter jurisdiction of the City Council, during a public hearing or a general business item if the speaker is not presenting testimony or evidence relevant to the matter or if the speaker becomes disruptive to the proceedings and conduct of the meeting.

The Mayor also has the authority to order any person who willfully interrupts the meeting to be removed. All persons are expected to always conduct themselves with civility and courtesy. All persons giving comments shall speak directly to the Council and address issues, not individuals. Personal attacks, cursing and outbursts from the audience in support or opposition to a speaker are not tolerated to foster an environment where everyone feels welcome to speak.

LEVINE ACT:

The Levine Act (California Government Code Section 84308) limits campaign contributions that may be made to elected or appointed City officials (including councilmembers and the mayor) and certain candidates for elective city offices. The Act prohibits an agent of a party from contributing any amount to councilmember while a proceeding for a contract valued at $50,000 or more, permit, license, or other entitlement for use is pending that does not solely involve purely ministerial decisions. The Act also prohibits parties and participants in the above entitlement proceedings from contributing more than $500 during the proceeding and for 12 months after the proceeding and requires disclosure of the prohibited contributions. The Act prohibits certain officials, including local elected officials, from taking part in an entitlement proceeding if the official has received a contribution exceeding $500 from a party or participant in the proceeding within the preceding 12 months. An official is also prohibited from accepting, soliciting, or directing a contribution exceeding $500 from a party or participant in the proceeding for 12 months after a final decision is rendered in such a proceeding. The law is complex, and this brief description is not legal advice. If you or an agent have made any campaign contributions to a councilmember in the 12 months before a proceeding in which you have an interest or you are contemplating making a contribution within the 12 months after such a proceeding, you are urged to review the Levine Act and consider consulting an attorney. The California Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) is responsible for administering the Levine Act. More information about the Act and its implementing regulations can be found on the FPPC’s website here:

ACCESSIBILITY

Three-Year Microsoft Enterprise Agreement with Crayon Software Experts, LLC - Microsoft 3yr Enterprise Agreement - Staff Report.docx

STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: June 10, 2025
Agency: City of Belmont
Staff Contact: Jason Eggers, IT Manager, 650-598-4206, [email protected] Agenda Title: Three-Year Microsoft Enterprise Agreement with Crayon Software Experts, LLC Agenda Action: Motion
Recommendation
Authorize the City Manager to execute a three-year Microsoft Enterprise Agreement with Crayon Software Experts, LLC, at a total cost of $311,550, with an annual amount of $103,850 each year for the next three years.

Strategic Focus Area
Fiscal and Organizational Sustainability
Background
The City has standardized on Microsoft products for its desktop and server operating systems and office applications (word processing, spreadsheet, presentation, and user database) for many years, and has participated in the Microsoft Enterprise Agreement (EA) program since 1999. The EA provides the Microsoft licenses for software used by all City staff including, but not limited to Windows operating system, Windows Server operating system, Exchange e-mail system, Microsoft Office suite, and other Microsoft products.

The EA provides best overall pricing based on volume discounting and allows for simplified licensing management through the EA True-Up process that provides a simple, effective way to account for any change in licensed products over the course of each year, helping to ensure that licensing is current and accurate. The current EA expires on June 30, 2025, and must be renewed before that date to be considered on time and to avoid additional fees.

Analysis
Belmont currently uses the Microsoft O365, including server operating systems and database licensing as well as the end-user suite of products. This EA enables the City to maintain a common IT platform across the City and allows the mix of Microsoft cloud services and on-premise software.

California Department of General Services, Procurement Division, has obtained group pricing for the acquisition of Microsoft software enterprise licensing and maintenance upgrades, and has an approved short list of Microsoft Account Resellers. This ensuresthat the pricing has been pre-negotiated and deemed fair and reasonable according to the cooperative purchasing agreement set forth by the Procurement Division. The City requested a quote for a three-year enterprise agreement from Crayon, an approved Microsoft Account Reseller.

716 Alameda De Las Pulgas Permanent Encroachment Agreement - Staff Report.docx

STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: [Meeting Date]June 10, 2025
Agency: City of Belmont
Staff Contact: Brian Nguyen, Public Works, (650) 637-2998, [email protected] Agenda Title: 716 Alameda de las Pulgas Permanent Encroachment Agreement Agenda Action: Resolution
Recommendation
Adopt a resolution approving a Permanent Encroachment Agreement for a retaining wall within the public right-of-way at 716 Alameda de las Pulgas (APN 044-043-190).

Strategic Focus Area
Public Safety
Background
In 2024, the City’s Building Department approved a building permit for the construction of a 573 square foot addition at 716 Alameda de las Pulgas (APN 044-043-190). The work triggered the City’s Sidewalk Installation Policy (BCC 7-13 (a) (b), 22-62, Resolution 2013-004). To construct this sidewalk, the project proposed the installation of a concrete retaining wall along the frontage of the subject property, which encroaches into the public right-of-way.

The City Council adopted Ordinance Number 994 as codified in Section 22-6 of the Municipal Code regulating encroachments in the public right-of-way on December 9, 2003. This Code gives the City Council the sole authority to issue permits for permanent or unusual encroachments that include above ground structures such as retaining walls, fences, poles, and awnings. This class of encroachment is commonly known as “permanent encroachment,” even though the City retains the right to revoke the permit and require removal if the structure is not being used or if it interferes with planned public improvements. Section 22-6(b) requires the Director of Public Works to review all permanent encroachment applications. If the Director finds that the application is in compliance with the Municipal Code, the Director will recommend approval of the encroachment with conditions necessary to protect the health and safety of the public and the City. The City Council may choose to approve or to conditionally approve the application.

The plans were approved under the condition that the proposed wall would need a Permanent Encroachment Agreement in place with City Council Approval, see note 11 of Sheet C-1 of Exhibit A.

The wall was constructed in July-August 2024 without an approved and recorded Permanent Encroachment Agreement and is now requesting a Permanent Encroachment Agreement after the fact. 9

716 Alameda De Las Pulgas Permanent Encroachment Agreement - Staff Report.docx Analysis
The permit applicant of 716 Alameda de las Pulgas (APN 044-043-190) has now submitted a Permanent Encroachment Permit Application to allow the existing encroachment in the public right-of-way as indicated in Exhibit B and shown in the site photos of Exhibit C, attached. Staff and the Public Works Director have reviewed the application and found that the improvements are in compliance with the City Code. The City Council may choose to approve or to conditionally approve the request only if it considers that there is some public benefit for the encroachment. BCC Section 22-6(e)(1) provides examples of acceptable public benefits, such as added off-street parking, sidewalk or safer sight distance, reduced amount of grading onsite, and replacement or improvement of an existing undesirable physical condition or provide other neighborhood betterment.

The proposed improvements within the right-of-way provides a public benefit for pedestrian walkway along the frontage of the property and increasing sight distance along Alameda de las Pulgas. The public right of way includes the roadway, and an area beyond it to accommodate other public improvements such as utilities, sidewalk, signs, etc. The proposed retaining wall does not impact the roadway width. In accordance with BCC Section 22-6(d), notices were sent to all affected properties within 300 feet of the project location.

Public Hearing – Annual Report for Collection of Sewer Service Fees for FY 2025-26 - Staff Report.docx

STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: June 10, 2025
Agency: City of Belmont
Staff Contact: Nisha Patel, Public Works, (650) 595-7459, [email protected] Agenda Title: Public Hearing – Annual Report for Collection of Sewer Service Fees FY 2025-26 Agenda Action: Resolution
Recommendation

1. Hold a public hearing to consider protests for collecting the fees on the tax roll; and

2. Unless there is a majority protest, overrule objections and adopt a resolution approving the annual report for collection on the tax roll of sewer services fees charged to parcels to fund the operation and maintenance of the City’s sewer collection system
Strategic Focus Area
Fiscal and Organizational Sustainability
Background
A report of annual sewer service charges has been prepared based on the effective rates for Fiscal Year 2025-2026. The adoption of the annual report is necessary to allow the charges listed in the report to be collected by the San Mateo County Tax Collector on the assessment roll, as has been done in previous years.

Analysis
Belmont City Code (BCC) Sections 21-70 through 21-78 establish a protocol for the setting and collection of sewer charges, and provides for collection of the charges on the assessment roll in accordance with Health and Safety Code (HSC) Section 5473 et seq. These provisions require the City to prepare an annual report containing a description of each parcel of real property receiving the services and facilities and the amount of the charge for each parcel for the year, computed in conformity with the charges previously adopted by the City. In accordance with these provisions, City staff has prepared a report entitled “City of Belmont Sewer Service Charges Fiscal Year 2025-2026,” and published notice of the Public Hearing as required by HSC Section 5473.1. The City Council will consider any objections or protests to the annual report, and if a majority protest is not made, BCC Section 21-77 and HSC Section 5473.3 provides that upon the conclusion of the hearing, the City Council may (for purposes of collection on the tax roll) adopt, revise, change, reduce, or modify any charge or overrule all objections and make a determination upon each charge as described in the report.

A copy of the Sewer Services Charges Report is on file in the City Clerk’s Office and is also available on the City’s website:

Strategic Focus Area
Fiscal and Organizational Sustainability
Background
On April 14, 2009, the City Council held a public hearing with respect to the amount of Sewer Treatment Facility Charge, which has remained unchanged since. The primary purpose of this charge is to fund the replacement or reconstruction of existing sewer treatment facilities operated by SVCW.

Adoption of the annual report will allow the charges listed in the report to be collected by the San Mateo County Tax Collector on the assessment roll, as has been done in previous years.

Analysis
Belmont City Code (BCC) Section 21-94 establishes a protocol for the setting and collection of sewer treatment facility charges, and provides for collection of the charges on the assessment roll in accordance with the California Health and Safety Code (HSC) Section 5473 et seq. These provisions require the City to prepare an annual report containing a description of each parcel of real property receiving the services and facilities and the amount of the charge for each parcel for the year, computed in conformity with the charges previously adopted by the City. In accordance with these provisions, City staff has prepared this year’s annual report of charges entitled “City of Belmont Sewer Treatment Facility Charges Fiscal Year 2025-2026,” and published notice of the Public Hearing as required by HSC Section 5473.1. 1) If protest is not made by the owners of a majority of separate parcels of property described in the report, adopt the resolution that overrules any objections and adopt the report. 2) If protest is made by the owners of a majority of separate parcels of property described in the report, do not adopt the report, but instead directstaff to collect the charges by other means. 17

Public Hearing – Annual Report for Collection of Storm Drainage Fees for FY 2025-26 - Staff Report.docx

STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: June 10, 2025
Agency: City of Belmont
Staff Contact: Nisha Patel, Public Works, (650) 595-7459, [email protected] Agenda Title: Public Hearing – Annual Report for Collection of Storm Drainage Fees for FY 2025-2026
Agenda Action: Resolution
Recommendation

1. Hold a public hearing to consider protests to collecting the fees on the tax roll; and

Strategic Focus Area
Fiscal and Organizational Sustainability
Background
In 1999, and renewed every five years since, the California Regional Water Quality Control Board issued the City of Belmont and other San Mateo County municipalities their five-year NPDES storm water discharge permit incorporating a storm water pollution prevention work plan. The work plan includes both program and performance standards. The City and County Association of Governments (C/CAG) formed the San Mateo Countywide Water Pollution Prevention Program to conduct the program requirements for the member agencies. The individual cities are responsible for conducting the operation and maintenance, and water quality control requirements.

Each year, the City must prepare and consider an annual report for collection of fees for its storm drainage charges to fund the City’s NPDES program.

This annual City NPDES fee funds storm water operations and NPDES compliance activities including:

1. Revision to City ordinances to ensure consistency with new NPDES requirements

2. Implementation of a Green Infrastructure Plan

3. Education and enforcement of storm water requirements for new development

4. Monthly inspection and reporting of construction sites during the rainy season

5. Implementation of Enforcement Response Plan for storm water compliance

6. Inspection of Industrial and Commercial Businesses

7. Development and Implementation of the City’s Long-Term Trash Load Reduction Plan

8. Creek clean-up activities

9. Tracking, responding, and reporting of spill and illicit discharge complaints 21

Public Hearing – Annual Report for Collection of Storm Drainage Fees for FY 2025-26 - Staff Report.docx

10. Development and implementation of best practices for maintenance operations

11. Inventory and inspection of storm pump stations

12. Development, implementation, and a site specific Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program for the Corporation Yard

13. Local public outreach and education

14. Litter reduction measures and other compliance work The fees have remained unchanged since they were first levied in 1998.

Analysis
Adoption of the annual report will allow the charges in the report to be collected by the San Mateo County Tax Collector on the assessment roll, as directed by Belmont City Code (BCC) Section 21-196. There are no changes in the charges to be collected. Any increase in the current fee amount would be subject to Proposition 218, and no change is recommended at this time.

Staff recommends that the City Council hold the public hearing, and do the following:
1) If protest is not made by the owners of a majority of separate parcels of property described in each report, adopt the resolution that overrules any objections and adopt the report. 2) If protest is made by the owners of a majority of separate parcels of property described in the report, do not adopt the report but instead direct staff to identify and collect the charges by other means for each related fee.

A copy is on file in the City Clerk’s Office and is also available on the City’s website at http://www.belmont.gov/city-hall/public-works/engineering/infrastructure/storm-drain-system Alternatives

1. Take no action. This would require the City identify another means of collecting approved charges.

FY 2025-26 Budget Adoption

STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: June 10, 2025
Agency: City of Belmont
Staff Contact: Grace Castaneda, Finance Director, [email protected]; Nawel Voelker, Management Analyst II, [email protected]; Joanne Yung, Budget Manager, [email protected]
Agenda Title: Adopt Budget and Related Items for Fiscal Year 2025-26 Agenda Action: Resolution
Recommendation
Adopt resolutions approving the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Budget, approving the Appropriations Limit, authorizing the Special Library Tax, and approving revisions to certain fees in the Master Revenue Schedule.

Strategic Focus Area
Fiscal and Organizational Sustainability
Background
On May 27, 2025, City Council received a comprehensive introduction to the proposed Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-26 Budget for the City of Belmont (City) and Belmont Fire Protection District (BFPD), with the following highlights.

Executive Summary
 The state of the economy is just one of many factors that play into our annual budget planning.

Our community is facing increasing uncertainties in the federal and state levels that can carry significant local impacts. The proposed fiscal year 2025-26 budget reflects the provision of essential City functions such as public safety and public works services and infrastructure, while maintaining fiscal prudence as the City braces for economic uncertainty, federal funding uncertainty, and ongoing State takeaways of major revenue sources.  Long-term economic uncertainty makes local control over City revenue sources and diversifying those sources more important than ever to ensure long-term fiscal sustainability and allows Belmont to be self-reliant into the future.
 The FY 2025-26 City of Belmont operating budget is $66.1 million, and the Belmont Fire Protection District operating budget is $14.7 million, for a total Citywide operating budget at $80.8 million (a contained 4.8% increase over the FY 2024-25 adopted budget). This increase primarily reflects the cost of Citywide operations and strategic funding in focus areas to meet the community’s priority needs.
 The FY 2025-26 City of Belmont Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget is $13.5 million, and Belmont Fire Protection District CIP budget is $0.03 million, with significant funding toward community-identified priorities including streets, sewer, and storm drain infrastructure, 26

Page 2 of 7 ends

FY 2025-26 Budget Adoption
for a total Citywide CIP budget of $13.5 million. The five-year CIP plan is $61.9 million.  Interest rates that remain elevated and other economic factors have resulted in a market slowdown across the Bay Area. Four of six major development projects have either withdrawn or are on pause. In Belmont, no new commercial construction is anticipated in the next three to five years. However, two of the remaining major projects, including the 1301 Shoreway project and the Beam Reach project at 425-435 Harbor, are proceeding with their entitlements and together comprise 1.4 million square feet of new commercial space.  Belmont continues to see a significant amount of residential development activity that will add approximately 500 new housing units to the City under the current Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) cycle that goes from 2023 to 2031.
 The looming $12 billion budget shortfall at the statewide level intensifies the State’s actions to balance its own budget by continuing takeaways of local property tax in lieu of VLF (VLF), thus far refusing to appropriate the VLF shortfall payment in both their January and May Revise of their FY 2025-26 budget, making this major revenue source increasingly vulnerable. Belmont’s impact is a $1.7 million revenue loss in FY 2025-26, which equates to over 40% of Belmont’s Local 1% Sales Tax revenue. If the State continues to take away VLF revenues, the projected impact to Belmont is a loss of over $11 million over the next five years or $30 million over the next ten years.
 The General Fund operating revenue budget for FY 2025-26, including transfers, is at $32.9 million, while General Fund operating expenditure budget, including transfers, is at $34.3 million. This requires a draw of $1.4 million on unassigned fund balance to offset revenue shortfalls and balance the FY 2025-26 budget. The draw on General Fund reserves continues in each year of the General Fund long-term forecast to replace revenue shortfalls predominately due to the State’s underfunding of VLF, resulting in an ongoing reduction in fund balance reserves.

The General Fund balance is projected to fall below the 33% reserve target by FY 2030-31.  Estimated loss in VLF revenues will reduce overall revenue growth in the General Fund’s longterm forecast to an estimated 2% annually, not nearly keeping pace with annual consumer price index in the bay area, which has averaged 3.6% over the past five years.  In the FY 2025-26 budget, priority funding focuses on advancing Council and community priorities, sets funding aside for infrastructure needs, and maintains City’s cash reserves while controlling unsustainable cost growths through rising inflationary pressures.

Analysis
On June 3, 2025, pursuant to California Government Code Section 65401, the Planning Commission adopted a resolution finding the projects in the FY 2025-26 Capital Improvement Program were consistent with the Belmont General Plan and Belmont Village Specific Plan (BVSP).

On June 5, 2025, the Audit Committee reviewed the proposed FY 2025-26 Budget and unanimously recommended its approval. The Committee is available to elaborate on their recommendations as needed.

The June 10, 2025, Public Hearing serves to consider the FY 2025-26 budget, recommend any changes if needed, and to adopt the budget and related actions. Budget adoption actions for Council consideration are outlined below. Staff also requests that City Council grant the authority to the City Manager to make ministerial changes to the budget.

Budget Adoption Resolutions
 Budget Adoption (Attachments B and C). Resolutions establishing the FY 2025-26 Revenues, Appropriations (expenditures), Capital Improvement Program Budget, and Permanent Staffing Plan for the City and BFPD.

Consistent with previous fiscal years, the proposed budget includes a Permanent Staffing Plan for Council consideration and approval. To facilitate the City Manager’s responsibility to address organizational changes that may arise, the budget resolution also includes language authorizing the City Manager to revise the staffing plan so long as the total number of full-time, regular personnel does not exceed the total number of Council-authorized positions, consistent with Belmont’s City Code and the Personnel Rules and Regulations. The Permanent Staffing Plan for FY 2025-26 is proposed at 144.75 full-time equivalent (FTE) positions for the City, no change from prior fiscal year.  Appropriations Limit Revision (Attachments D and E). Proposition 4, approved by California voters in 1979, requires cities to calculate and establish an Appropriations Limit (Gann Limit) annually. This limit is based on actual appropriations in the 1978-79 fiscal year and is permitted to increase annually to the extent of population growth and inflation. The City’s FY 2025-26 Appropriations Limit is $28,405,412 and the BFPD’s FY 2025-26 Appropriations Limit is $18,109,274. Both proposed budgets are below the stated limit, with calculations attached to the respective resolutions.
29

Page 5 of 7 ends

FY 2025-26 Budget Adoption
 Special Tax for Community Facilities District No. 2000-1 (Library Project) Authorization (Attachment F). City Council is also required to authorize the annual special tax for the library (Community Facilities District No. 2000-1) annually. The resolution requests that the County of San Mateo collect the special tax on the property tax rolls for FY 2025-26.  Master Revenue Schedule Adoption (Attachment G). As part of the annual budget process, departments review their fees to ensure compliance with the City’s and BFPD’s policy of attaining full cost recovery where possible, including direct and indirect costs. The attached Master Revenue Schedule reflects these changes, displaying both current and proposed fees with changes highlighted. Unchanged fees are included for reference only and have been approved previously, either by Council or other governing boards. Where appropriate, Council may elect to establish fees which are less than full cost recovery.

Annual fee adjustments to the Master Revenue Schedule generally reflect the following:

Adjustment Type Description Amount
Consumer Price Index
(CPI) Increase from
April 2024 to April
2025
Applied annually to fees not specifically based on
level of effort as well as mitigation fees including
impact, in-lieu, and linkage fees (in accordance
with respective ordinances).

1.3%
Hourly Rate Updated annually to reflect increases and
decreases in productive hourly rates for services
provided; varies by department.

Varies
Building Permit and
Development Review
Fees
Updated annually to reflect increase or decrease
in building valuation fees based on five-year
average of operating costs.

6.0%
Level of Effort Applied to reflect increase or decrease in level of effort to complete one unit of service.

Varies
Other highlights from the FY 2025-26 Master Revenue Schedule include the following:
• Business License Tax (BLT) new tax structure. Belmont voters approved Measure DD to restructure the City’s business license tax program in November 2024. The new tax structure moves away from a flat tax structure basing business license rates primarily on employee counts and instead establishes rates based on gross receipts from business activity conducted within the City. It also simplified and reduced the number of rate categories from 43 to 4, and total collections are estimated to be revenue neutral in FY 2025-26. Changes took effect on January 1, 2025. All businesses' licensing periods (i.e., the “tax period”) have also transitioned to January 1 through December 31. The Master Revenue Schedule reflects the new rate categories and corresponding tax structure.
• Most park and facility rental fees increased by 5%-10%. Fee structure is aligned to be more consistent amongst the different fees across all categories of users, such as resident vs. non30

Page 6 of 7 ends

FY 2025-26 Budget Adoption
resident, non-profits inside vs. outside of Belmont, and commercial business users. As a result, some fees have decreased while others have increased. Other fee increases reflect the CPI adjustment as well as adjustments to reflect substantial increases to utility and supply costs. • Most development review and building permit fees increased by 6.0%. These increases reflect elevated costs to review and process development and permit activity. Staff proposed increasing cost recovery factor on the Tier 3 Single Family Design Review to 75% from its former level of 50%. Staff believes that this increase is necessary to better reflect cost recovery and reduce the annual contribution from the General Fund to supplement the Development Review program.
• Fire, sewer, and solid waste fees are included for reference only. These fees are adopted through a separate process but are included for the purpose of presenting a comprehensive fee schedule document.

As part of best practice, a comprehensive fee study update, including development impact fees, will be conducted in FY 2025-26 to ensure fair cost recovery and help offset the cost of services driven by new development.

32 RESOLUTION NO. 2025 –

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BELMONT ADOPTING FISCAL YEAR 2025-26 REVENUE, APPROPRIATIONS, AND CAPITAL

IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM BUDGETS AND PERMANENT STAFFING PLAN FOR

THE CITY OF BELMONT
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to have a fiscal and staffing plan for the City of Belmont in order to plan for anticipated revenues and control expenditures; and, WHEREAS, the City Council and the Audit Committee reviewed the budgets for compliance with the goals and objectives of the community; and, WHEREAS, the Planning Commission adopted a resolution finding the projects in the FY 2025-26 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) were consistent with the Belmont General Plan and Belmont Village Specific Plan (BVSP); and,
WHEREAS, the fiscal year revenue, appropriation, capital improvement program and permanent staffing plan for the City of Belmont are expressed in the fiscal year 2025-26 budget document; and,
WHEREAS, the State continues to threaten and underfund property tax in lieu of vehicle license fees (VLF), making this major revenue source increasingly vulnerable. The General Fund long-term forecast reflects use of General Fund reserves to replace revenue shortfalls and maintain City services and quality of life, but the long-term use of fund balance to maintain services is not sustainable; and,
WHEREAS, current and projected City revenues are insufficient to consistently maintain the City’s general fund at or above the City’s General Fund policy target of 33% over a ten-year forecast; and,
WHEREAS, the City has implemented a number of cost saving strategies, however, cost saving strategies are short-term and further cost cutting measures would impact maintenance of City services and quality of life. As the City braces for economic uncertainty, federal funding uncertainty, and ongoing State takeaways of major revenue sources, local control over City revenue sources and diversifying those sources are more important than ever to ensure long-term fiscal sustainability and allows Belmont to be self-reliant into the future; and, WHEREAS, the City Council has held public hearings on the programs and fiscal policies to obtain public comments regarding the budget document.

NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Belmont resolves as follows:

SECTION 1. The recitals above are true and correct.

SECTION 2. The revenue, appropriations, and CIP budgets for Fiscal Year 2025-26 are adopted as shown in the follow table:

A subdivider may request that the City complete an appraisal to determine the fair market value of the subdivider's property as described in Section 17-105 of the Belmont City Code.Credits may be given for dedication of land, improvements to dedicated parkland, or private recreational facilities meeting the standards described in Belmont City Code Chapter 17, Article IV.Quimby Parkland Dedication In-Lieu Fee only applies to residential units developed on mapped parcels created through the Subdivision Map Act if applicant opts not to dedicate the required parkland Subdivision projects that are subject to the Quimby land dedication requirement or that pay the In-Lieu FEE are also required to the pay the Park Improvement Fee. The Single Family land use category includes single family detached units and single family attached units (e.g., townhouses, row houses, duplexes, etc.).

3. Applicability4. Annual Adjustment to Fee
Varies in proportion to size
of primary residence.

The Single Family land use category includes single family detached units and single family attached units (e.g., townhouses, row houses, duplexes, etc.).

Multifamily Housing includes dwelling units contained in buildings designed for two or more families that are not on separate parcels, such as condominiums.

Accessory Dwelling Unit means a dwelling unit constructed under the second dwelling unit provisions contained in Belmont Zoning Ordinance Section 24. Senate Bill 13 (effective 1/1/2020 - 12/31/2024) precludes jurisdictions from charging impact fees on ADUs smaller than 750 square feet. ADUs 750 square feet or larger pay fees in proportion to the size of the primary residence. For example, if a proposed ADU is 800 square feet, and the primary residence is 2,400 square feet, impact fees will be 1/3 of the single family fee (800 / 2,400 = 33.3%). "Industrial Uses" means all manufacturing facilities."Office Uses" means general, professional, and medical offices.The Fee Ordinance allows for an automatic adjustment of the fee to keep pace with inflationary increases in construction costs. This allows the fee level to keep pace with inflation without requiring an annual approval process. Senate Bill 330, the “Housing Crisis Act of 2019,” prevents jurisdictions from requiring housing development projects to comply with an ordinance, policy, or standard that was not already adopted and in effect at the time of the project’s preliminary application submittal. This applies directly to fees and exactions. Such fee increases are allowed during a project’s application period, however, if they are an annual fee adjustment based on an independently published cost index and referenced within the relevant establishing ordinance or resolution.Subdivision projects that are subject to the Quimby land dedication requirement or that pay the In-Lieu fee are also required to the pay the Park Improvement Fee.

The City Council may review housing mitigation fees from time to time. For any annual period during which City Council does not review the housing mitigation fee, fee amounts shall be adjusted once by the Finance Director each July 1st based on the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers for San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose, California. Area Standard Wage Policy: In recognition of the reduced impact of projects paying Area Standard Wages, the Community Development Director may provide a 25% rebate of Housing Mitigation Fees to all commercial development projects that voluntarily enter and perform an agreement with the City to pay Area Standard Wages.The Finance Director may establish procedures for evaluation of hardship requests for certain fees, where identified.The Finance Director has the authority to charge actual cost incurred including time, material, and overhead if a fee does not approximate actual cost incurred.The Single Family land use category includes single family detached units and single family attached units (e.g., townhouses, row houses, duplexes, etc.)."Multifamily Housing" means dwelling units contained in buildings designed for two or more families that are not on separate parcels, such as condominiums. "Multifamily Housing" includes mobile homes. Small for-sale residential projects of fewer than 25 units will either pay an in-lieu fee or provide an alternative, as defined in the ordinance. If in-lieu fees are levied, they are the same as the Residential Development Mitigation Fee, above:

Notes:
*

The winter water use for a location will be estimated as the average of the meter readings provided by the Mid-Peninsula Water District for the December through March period from the second year prior to the year for which charges are calculated. If December through March readings are not available for that year, but are available for the December through March period from the year prior to the year for which the charges are calculated, then the later readings shall be used for the average.

If December through March readings are not available for a residential connection (as when a connection is established after the most recent December), then annual wastewater discharge will be estimated based on an estimated monthly winter water use of 8 hcf.

For non-residential connections, if December through March readings are not available, or, where in the determination of the Director of Finance, the type of business using the commercial connection has changed such that prior readings cannot accurately predict future wastewater discharge, annual wastewater discharge will be estimated by the Director of Finance based upon his or her best estimation based upon the type of use of the connection, but in no event shall the estimated flow in such case be less than half of the average estimated flow for all commercial connections in the City during the prior year.

Sewer charges will be billed on the San Mateo County tax rolls with a pass-through charge to the ratepayer of $1.42 per parcel to cover county fees related to collecting the sewer charges on the tax roll.

The $245.40 standby charge for parcels that are undeveloped and not currently using sewer service or being charged a sewer service charge will continue unchanged.
