After Councilmember discussion and no public comment, Councilmembers directed staff to bring back an ordinance to change the 1st and 3rd Thursday meeting time to 6:30pm. 10 F.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Meeting Date: February 6, 2025
From: Jeremy Dennis, City Manager
Subject: Ordinance Revising the Start Time of City Council Meetings to 6:30 P.M.

Community Goal/Result
Community Building - Brisbane will honor the rich diversity of our city (residents, organizations, businesses) through community engagement and participation Purpose
To increase the participation of the community in the affairs of the City Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council amend Section 2.44.010 of the Brisbane Municipal Code changing the City Council’s regular meeting time from 7:30 p.m. to 6:30 P.M. by (1) adopting the attached Ordinance (Attachment 1) on an urgency basis and (2) introducing on first reading a parallel, but non-urgency Ordinance (Attachment 2).

Background/Discussion
At its January 16 2025 meeting, the City Council directed staff to draft an amendment to the Brisbane Municipal Code to reflect its desire to move up regular council meeting times by one hour,from 7:30 P.M. to 6:30 P.M.. During its discussion, the Council noted that an earlier time will likely increase resident participation in their meetings, as later meeting adjournments can be an impediment to such public involvement.

Attached to this staff report are two Ordinances to amend the Code. . One reflects an urgency ordinance (Attachment 1) that will take effect immediately and allow Council meetings to begin at 6:30 p.m. beginning February 20. To adopt that ordinance, it will take a 4/5 vote of the Council. The other Ordinance (Attachment 2) will amend the Code but will require a second reading on February 20 and would not go into effect for 30 days, meaning that meetings could not begin at 6:30 until Council’s first meeting in April.

On other ocs
37 L.

Meeting Time Change Page 2 of 2
On other occasions, Council has adopted an Ordinance as an urgency ordinance and introduced the same ordinance, on a non-urgency basis, on a first reading. That is because in order to adopt an ordinance on an urgency basis certain findings need to be made. Staff believes those findings may be made and they are incorporated into the urgency ordinance. But if such findings were challenged (unlikely), Council’s introduction and subsequent adoption of the nonurgency ordinance would ensure that the revised meeting times would take effect regardless of such challenge. Once the non-urgency ordinance goes into effect, the urgency ordinance may be rescinded.

If Council takes action as recommended, Council should also direct that the starting time of meetings of other Council appointed advisory boards be similarly changed. Fiscal Impact None
Measure of Success
Increased participation by residents.

WHEREAS, Government Code, section 36937 allows a city to adopt an urgency ordinance to take effect immediately upon its adoption for the preservation of the public peace, health or safety upon a finding of facts constituting the urgency thereof; and WHEREAS, the City has adopted an Ordinance establishing the regular meetings of the City Council as the first and third Thursdays of each month and setting the time of such meetings at 7:30 p.m.; and
WHEREAS, because of the number of items typically on the agenda, starting the meetings at 7:30 p.m. causes items of importance to the community to be discussed late in the evening which results in community members either being unable or unwilling to attend the meetings when the item is being discussed so late in the evening which imposes an unreasonable hardship on members of the community and deprives the City Council of the opportunity to hear those members’ comments before making important decisions for the City; and
WHEREAS, starting the regular meetings at 6:30 p.m. rather than 7:30 p.m. will allow more members of the community to attend meetings, whether in person or remotely, in order to provide comments and input to the City Council concerning City business.

WHEREAS, if the meeting time is not changed to 6:30 p.m., City Council may be deprived of valuable comments and input from the community, to the detriment of the public health, safety and welfare of the City; and
WHEREAS, for these reasons, the public health, safety and welfare of the community will be negatively impacted unless this Ordinance is adopted on an urgency basis;
WHEREAS, in light of the serious concerns set forth herein, and the adverse impacts that would result if this Ordinance does not take effect immediately, the City Council determines that it is in the interest of immediately preserving the public health, safety and general welfare to adopt this urgency ordinance; and WHEREAS, for the reasons set forth above, this ordinance is declared by the City Council to be necessary for preserving the public health, safety, or welfare of the community, and the recitals above, taken together, constitute the City Council’s statements of reasons constituting such necessity and urgency; and Attachment 1
39 L.
2 WHEREAS, based on the foregoing findings, evidence presented to the City, other evidence of record, evidence presented to the City Council at its meeting on February 6, 2025, the City Council finds and determines that this ordinance is urgently needed for the immediate preservation of public health, safety and welfare; and WHEREAS, this Ordinance is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) under CEQA Guidelines Sections 15378 (not a project) and 15061(b)(3) (no significant environmental impact).

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BRISBANE does ordain as follows:

Section 1. The City Council finds and determines the foregoing recitals to be true and correct and hereby incorporates them into this ordinance.

Section 2. Section 2.44.010 of the Brisbane Municipal Code is amended to read as follows:
“Section 2.44.010. Day and time.

Regular meetings of the city council shall be held on the first and third Thursdays of each calendar month. The time of regular meetings shall be six third (6:30) p.m.

Additional meetings may be scheduled from time to time as needed.” Section 3. This ordinance is enacted pursuant to the City of Brisbane’s general police powers, Article XI of the California Constitution, and Government Code, section 36937.

Section 4. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this ordinance is for any reason held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance. The City Council declares that it would have adopted this ordinance and each section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses or phrases be declared invalid.

M. Receive an Update Regarding the Creation of Potential Council Election Districts (It is recommended that the City Council receive an update regarding the creation of potential Council election districts and provide direction to staff on the timeline and outreach.) 44 Update on Council Election Districts Page 1 of 3

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Meeting Date: February 6, 2025
From: City Manager Jeremy Dennis
Subject: Update Regarding the Creation of Potential Council Election Districts Community Goal/Result
Community Building - Brisbane will honor the rich diversity of our city (residents, organizations, businesses) through community engagement and participation Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Receive an update regarding the creation of potential Council election districts

2. Provide direction to staff on the timeline and outreach.

Background
Background on the California Voting Rights Act
The California Voting Rights Act (“CVRA”) became law in 2003. It provides instructions for transitioning a jurisdiction from an at-large election system to a different system - typically a bydistrict or by-division election system. Since its adoption over 200 cities, over 300 school districts, and over 100 other jurisdictions have made the change to by-district elections either in anticipation of, or following receipt of, a litigation threat.

In San Mateo County alone, Belmont, Burlingame, Foster City, Half Moon Bay, Menlo Park, Pacifica, Redwood City, San Burno, San Mateo, South San Francisco, and Woodside already transitioned to by-district elections.

No jurisdiction facing such a litigation threat has won so far, and the few jurisdictions that have fought such threats in court have spent millions on their defense and millions more in payouts to plaintiffs.

Brisbane’s Situation
The City Council was elected under an at-large election system, whereby Council Members are elected by voters of the entire City. On May 16, 2024 the Council adopted a Resolution of Intent to Change Election Systems. Moving to by-district elections would require a Council Member (and all candidates for that position) to reside within a designated district boundary, and each Council Member would be elected only by voters of the appropriate district. 45 M.

Update on Council Election Districts Page 2 of 3
While no formal litigation threat (“demand”) letter has been received, given the spread of such letters in the county and across the state it is likely one will be forthcoming. Acting before receiving such a letter will save the City up to $40,000 that state law says an attorney sending such a letter receives from the targeted jurisdiction.

Additionally, the City hasreceived correspondences regarding this issue; they are attached to thisstaff report (Attachment 2).

This change has no impact on current Council Member terms or status. The only impact of the change is when a Council Member’s current term expires, as the new by-district system will be used for that election.

Discussion
Next Steps
As required by Elections Code Section 10010, the City will need to hold at least two (2) public hearings prior to the release of draft maps of Council election districts. Council will then hold an additional two (2) or more public hearings to solicit public input regarding the content of the draft maps and the proposed sequence of elections. Then an additional public hearing will be held prior to the approval of an ordinance implementing a Council election district map.

The first hearing will also include the public launch of the City’s public mapping tool and interactive map review website, provided by our districting consultant (National Demographics Corporation, or NDC). In addition, between now and the first public hearing, the City will prepare to conduct an outreach campaign to inform and educate the community about the upcoming process.

The current schedule for this process is as follows:

February 6 Council update and approval of timeline
March 20 First Hearing
Week of March 24 or 31 Community Forum
April 17 Second Hearing
May 4 Deadline for public to submit maps for
consideration at the Third Hearing
May 8 Deadline to post initial draft maps
May 15 Third Hearing
Late May/Early June Community Forum
June 5 Fourth Hearing

N. Discuss Fiscal Year 2026 Congressional Appropriation Requests 59 Appropriations Discussion Page 1 of 2

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Meeting Date: Feb 6, 2025
From: Jeremy Dennis, City Manager
Subject: Congressional Appropriation Discussion
Recommendation
Staff recommend that the City Council discuss and recommend potential projects for support by Congressman Kevin Mullin’s office through the annual appropriations process.

Background
In March of every year, the Congressman Kevin Mullin’s office opens a portal for use by municipalities and other eligible partners to submit their project for inclusion in the congressional appropriations process. Requests submitted are publicly viewable once requested.

Brisbane has submitted and received funds through this appropriation process, most recently in FY 2025 with an award of $1,494,260 for the Glen Park Pump Station Replacement.

Discussion
According to Congressman Mullin’s webpage on this matter, the Appropriations Committee has not released guidance or deadlines in advance of the FY 26 “asks” and instead refers potential submitters to FY 25 guidance. While the guidance is likely to change, the project list from FY 25 is illustrative of the types of projects that may be supported:
• Community Centers
• Sewer and drainage projects
• Street and highway safety improvements
• Trail support
The full list is attached to this staff report at Attachment 1.

Given that FY 26 guidance has not been released, staff recommend that the Council discuss issue areas that they would like to see support through the appropriations process. Staff can take that guidance and provide a staff report at an upcoming meeting seeking authorization for submittal of the final project.

Fiscal Impact
None at this time. Appropriation requests typically require a 20% match that can be allocated at a future date.

FY25 APPROPRIATIONS REQUESTS
HHOME OME / CCONTACT ONTACT / FFY25 APPROPRIATIONS REQUESTS Y25 APPROPRIATIONS REQUESTS Appropriations requests from other years:

FY24 Appropriations requests
FY26 Appropriations requests
In FY25, Congress will allocate some of the federal budget for Community Project Funding (CPF, also known as an “earmark”), which is for one-off nonprofit, state or local government, or tribal projects.

Please note that while there are many worthy organizations and projects, not every project will be funded and most projects will not be funded at the level requested below. No funding will be made available until and if the FY25 Appropriations bill(s) are passed by both the House and Senate and signed by the President.

Rep. Mullin submitted the following Community Project Funding requests to the Appropriations Committee for FY25:

Belmont – Twin Pines Park Stormwater Capture Project – $4,000,000 The funding would be used to construct a new stormwater capture facility beneath the parking lot in the park to increase the creek’s capacity and reduce downstream flooding risk. This Project is an effort to follow the City’s Twin Pines Park Master Plan and Belmont Creek Watershed Management Plan to reduce flooding within the Belmont Creek Watershed, specifically within the Harbor Industrial Area, and provide an active creek corridor for the public. The project is an appropriate use of taxpayer funds because the Belmont Creek Harbor Industrial Area floodplain has a 0.2% chance annually of flooding. This means that the area should anticipate significant flood damages at least once every 50 years, which is a disproportionate level of risk given the close proximity of the creek to industrially zoned property.
