Bayshore Mobility Plan, and certification of the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) prepared for this project in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Community Development Director Ayres reported that tonight is the first City Council public hearing regarding the Brisbane Baylands Specific Plan, Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR), and related approvals. The Council will consider the project materials through a structured series of hearings organized around Measure JJ requirements and the major components of the Baylands Specific Plan and FEIR.

Staff and consultants presented on the following 3 topics:
• Measure JJ and the General Plan requirements that govern the Baylands Specific Plan Measure JJ, approved by 55% of Brisbane voters in November 2018, established the land use framework for the Baylands subarea: a Planned Development designation allowing a range of 1,800–2,220 housing units (limited to the northwest portion of the site), up to 6.5 million square feet of commercial uses, and an additional 500,000 square feet of hotel space. Measure JJ also set standards to be incorporated into the Specific Plan and an associated development agreement for the Baylands subarea. To approve the project, the Council will need to find that the Specific Plan is consistent with the General Plan, including Measure JJ’s policies
• The Specific Plan’s sustainability program and designing for ongoing energy neutrality (Measure JJ Topic 3.G)
Specific Plan Chapter 4 (Sustainability) is intended to satisfy the Measure JJ provision 3.G to be energy neutral on an on going basis. Its policies and standards are built around the City's Sustainability Framework for the Baylands, which itself is based on the One Planet Living program's ten guiding principles: Zero Carbon Buildings, Zero Waste, Sustainable Transport, Local and Sustainable Materials, Local and Sustainable Food, Sustainable Water, Open Space and Habitat, Culture and Heritage, Economic Vitality with Equity and Ecology, and Recreation, Health, Safety and Happiness.
• Air quality and greenhouse gas (GHG) impacts and associated mitigation measures identified in the EIR.

The EIR identifies one significant and unavoidable air quality impact: Impact AQ-1 (Emissions of Criteria Air Pollutants for which the Bay Area Air Basin is in Nonattainment), which remains significant at both the project and cumulative level even after all feasible mitigation. Also, the Final EIR evaluates the significance of the project’s GHG emissions under two specific thresholds identified in the EIR: GHG-2, addressing effects on regional GHG emissions, and GHG-3, addressing consistency with applicable GHG-reduction plans, policies, performance standards, and regulations.

Stephanie Shakofsky, Senior Vice President of Government Affairs of Baylands Development, Inc. presented on behalf of Baylands Development Inc.

Measure JJ and the General Plan requirements that govern the Baylands Specific Plan After Council questions, the following members of the public provided comments and questions:

City's Portfolio
Weighted Interest
The City’s overall investments and cash balances decreased by a net $2.2 million from the previous month, primarily due to the annual insurance premium payment of $1.9 million.

As reflected on Page 1, the BNY Mellon agency bonds subtotal remained at $10 million. As federal interest rates continued to increase, there were no early calls on the bonds and the $52 thousand increase was earned interest.

The two-year Treasury rate continued to exceed both the LAIF and BNY Money Market rates. The City's portfolio weighted interest rate increased as the WFB non-interest bearing balance decreased its share of the portfolio.

The City continues to seek and purchase longer term bonds with rates higher than LAIF to ladder maturities when available, but none were purchased in August.

The City's $10 million Cash with Fiscal Agents balance is primarily comprised of $8 million held in the PARS trust accounts, and $2 million of the 2023 Bond proceeds held in trust as reflected on Page 1. The $652 thousand increase in Cash with Fiscal Agents was primarily due to the $554 thousand deposit pending for the 2015 Bond series September debt service payment.

When compared to prior year, the City's overall portfolio increased by $1 million. Also, rate management is evident through the shifts in balances between BNY Money Market and LAIF.

In accordance with the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act (MMBA), the City negotiates agreements with each represented unit over wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment, and such agreements are memorialized in a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) over a specified term. In addition, the City meets with members of unrepresented units and conducts informal negotiations over proposed changes to the MOU for each group. In March 2026, staff began negotiations with each employee group for successor MOUs, as the existing MOUs were scheduled to expire as of July 1, 2026.

Historically, the City Council has approved the same base wage adjustment for part-time hourly positions as provided to their full-time counterparts. Additionally, when equity increases are granted to full-time classifications with the same job title and duties, an equivalent increase has been applied to the corresponding part-time hourly classification.

Staff is also recommending that hourly pay step scales that are currently below the scheduled January 2027 minimum wage increase have their starting salary range be set at $17.40 per hour, so that the minimum wage requirement is met. Positions affected by the 2027 minimum wage increase are as follows: Intern, Habitat Restoration Lead Worker and Special Assistant.

Fiscal Impact
The estimated cost to implement these Memoranda of Understanding per fiscal year are as follows: FY 2026-27, $967,004, FY 2027-28, $1,170,457, FY 2028-29, $1,222,166. The actual costs will be included in the adopted budget for FY 2027 and will be incorporated into ensuing budgets.

A department head may require an earlier notification where it is warranted due to operational needs.

Failure to provide such notification without good reason may result in that day of absence being treated as a leave of absence without pay. The determination in this regard shall be made by the department head, subject to final approval by the appointing authority. Where the period of absence due to illness or injury is not known at the outset, it shall be the responsibility of the employee to remain in contact with his immediate supervisor, on a daily basis if deemed necessary by the supervisor.

Where the absence is, or is expected to be, for more than two workdays, the employee may be required to file a physician's certificate or a personal affidavit with the Personnel Officer, stating the cause of absence.

E. Where an illness or injury is job-related and covered by State Workers' Compensation, accrued sick leave and vacation credits shall be applied to make up the difference between State benefits and full, base salary.

Employees covered by this agreement shall be provided paid sick leave as set forth below.

An employee who is granted sick leave is expected to take the appropriate recuperative steps and/or follow physician recommended recuperative steps to assure a timely return to work.

The accrual and usage of sick leave shall be governed by the following provisions:

A. Sick leave shall be earned at the rate of eight (8) hours for each calendar month of service.

Employees separating from the City service shall not be entitled to any payment of unused, accrued sick leave.

C. Employees shall not accrue sick leave during their first three (3) months of employment under original appointments, but shall receive credits for that period when three (3) months of service have been attained.

D. In order to be entitled to sick leave, an employee who, because of illness or injury, is unable to report for work shall so notify his immediate supervisor within one hour from the commencement of the shift. A department head may require an earlier notification where it is warranted due to operational needs.

Failure to provide such notification without good reason may result in that day of absence being treated as a leave of absence without pay. The determination in this regard shall be made by the department head, subject to final approval by the appointing authority or designee. Where the period of absence due to illness or injury is not known at the outset, it shall be the responsibility of the employee to remain in contact with his immediate supervisor, on a daily basis if deemed necessary by the supervisor.

Where the absence is, or expected to be, for more than two workdays, the employee may be required to file a physician's certificate. The certificate shall state that the employee is under treatment by a physician for a condition that prevents the employee from performing the usual and customary duties of the classification, the prognosis for return to work, the date of return to work, and any limitations that exist upon the return to work. The certificate shall be filed with the Personnel Officer. When deemed appropriate, the City Manager or designee may require verification of the employee’s doctor’s certificate by a physician specified by the City.

In the event the employee’s doctor’s certificate and the opinion of the City’s specified doctor’s verification as to the employee’s ability and/or scheduled time to return to work disagree, the employee may be required to report to the City’s specified physician for an examination. The City will pay for all costs associated with this verification and/or examination. The City’s specified doctor’s determination shall be final and the employee

Page 91 of 517 ends

18 shall return to work. Failure by the employee to report to the City’s specified doctor or to return to work may result in the sick leave request being denied and the employee being placed on leave without pay and/or disciplinary action being taken up to and including termination.

The department head or designee may deny a sick leave request and place the employee on leave without pay based on reasonable evidence that the employee failed to follow appropriate and/or doctor specified recuperative steps.

The payment of sick leave may be suspended by the appointing authority where he/she has reasonable grounds to believe that absences on a given day or days are the result of a concerted action of the part of two or more employees which is related to a labor dispute with the City directly or one in which the City is involved as a third party.

E. Where an illness or injury is job-related and covered by State Worker's Compensation, accrued sick leave or vacation credits may be applied to make up the difference between State benefits and full, base salary.

F. An employee may use one-half of his/her annual accrual of sick leave to attend to the diagnosis, care, or treatment of an existing health condition or preventative care for a child, spouse, registered domestic partner, parent (including biological, adoptive, foster parent, stepparent or legal guardian of an employee or the employee’s spouse or registered domestic partner, or a person who stood in loco parentis when the employee was a minor child), grandparent, grandchild, or sibling. The Personnel Officer may approve use of leave for this purpose for other than the family members defined above.

G. The City will work with the Bargaining Group to participate in the State provided SDI program at no cost to the City.

H. Accrued sick leave may, with department head approval, be used for medical and dental appointments of the employee where it is unfeasible to schedule them on the employee's own time.

19 ARTICLE 22. PERSONAL LEAVE
Employees may use up to one (1) day per year of sick leave per calendar year for personal leave.

Personal leave shall be requested in advance and approved by the department head. Supervisory personnel cannot approve personal leave. When the department head is unavailable to consider a Personal Leave request, supervisory personnel may approve the leave request as vacation or Compensatory Time Off. The department head, upon his/her return, will review the employee’s Personal Leave request and may grant the request as personal leave rather than vacation or Compensatory Time Off. The requested leave time must be for personal business or for a purpose that cannot be conducted on the employee’s own time off. The requested time off shall be limited to the essential and actual time needed to complete the business or purpose upon which the requested leave is made (including travel time to and from work).

ARTICLE 23. MILITARY LEAVE
Military leave shall be granted in accordance with the provisions of the State Military and Veterans Code. An employee requesting leave for this purpose shall provide the department head with a copy of the military orders specifying the dates, site and purpose of the activity or mission. Within the limits of such orders, the department head may determine when the leave is to be taken and may modify the employee's work schedule to accommodate the request for leave.

ARTICLE 24. JURY DUTY
An employee who is called to serve as a juror shall be entitled to leave during the period of such service or while necessarily being present in court as the result of such a summons. Under these circumstances, the employee shall be paid his full salary for this period, provided the employee remits jury fees received to the City. Such fees shall not include mileage reimbursements or subsistence payments. In order to receive regular wages, the employee must provide the City with a copy of the summons and any documentation related to attendance.

An employee who is subpoenaed to appear in court in an official capacity as a City employee shall be allowed to do so without loss of compensation. An employee subpoenaed to appear in court in a matter unrelated to his official capacity as a City employee shall be permitted time off without pay. If the employee elects, accrued vacation or Compensatory Time Off may be used for this purpose.

ARTICLE 25. MATERNITY LEAVE
Maternity leaves of absence shall be granted in accordance with applicable provisions of Federal and State law.

ARTICLE 26. MEDICAL LEAVE
The appointing authority may place an employee on a medical leave of absence without pay where, in the appointing authority's judgment, that employee is incapacitated to perform the regular functions of his position. This type of leave may be used pending the employee's anticipated recovery or pending the outcome of a medical evaluation of the employee's physical or mental

Page 93 of 517 ends

20 health as it relates to the performance of his work. Before an employee is placed on such leave status, the employee shall be permitted to utilize all accrued sick leave and vacation credits.

Under normal circumstances, no leave directed or granted under this rule shall exceed 90 days at which time the appointing authority may, under extraordinary circumstances, extend the leave for a definite period. Otherwise, the leave shall be terminated.

Nothing herein shall be construed as modifying the provisions of State Labor Code Section 4850 as they relate to public safety personnel.

ARTICLE 27. LONGEVITY RECOGNITION INCENTIVE
Longevity Leave
Employees entering into the Association after July 1, 2006 will be eligible for longevity leave under this provision at 15 years of service. Effective the first full pay period following adoption of this agreement in 2026, employees covered by this agreement will qualify for longevity leave at twelve (12) years of service.

In recognition of the years of service with the City of Brisbane as noted above, the City grants to such a qualified employee each year forty (40) hours of time off with pay. Longevity leave will be awarded on the employee’s anniversary date. However, for employees who have more than twelve (12) but less than fifteen (15) years of service at the date of adoption in 2026, the hours will be awarded at MOU adoption.

Employees may not exceed forty (40) hours of longevity leave at any time (i.e., any longevity leave not used before the employee’s next anniversary date will be forfeited). An employee wishing to use longevity leave must schedule that use with the employee’s supervisor. Any time not taken may not be carried over nor paid out in cash.

Longevity Incentive
A. Employees in this unit who have reached 10 years of continuous service with the City shall receive one percent (1.0%) in Longevity Incentive Pay.

B. Employees in this unit who have reached 15 years of continuous service with the City shall receive an additional one percent (1.0%) in Longevity Incentive Pay [total: 2.0%].

21 ARTICLE 28. MANDATORY ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVE

On expiration of the approved leave, the employee shall be reinstated to his former position or to a comparable one if the former position is abolished during the period of leave and the employee otherwise would not have been laid off. Based upon unforseeable changes in operating requirements, the appointing authority may recall the employee from leave prior to its expiration.

Failure on the part of an employee to return to work on the date originally scheduled or subsequently modified shall be considered as a resignation.

ARTICLE 30. LEAVES OF ABSENCE WITHOUT PAY: AFFECT ON SENIORITY AND

BENEFITS
Except as provided under State law for employees on military leaves of absence, employees on leaves of absence without pay shall not, after the first 30 days of such leave, accrue service or leave credits, nor shall the City be required to maintain contributions toward group insurance coverages, except as provided under the Federal Family Medical Leave Act.

ARTICLE 37. PROBATIONARY PERIOD AND PERFORMANCE RATINGS The probationary period shall be regarded as part of the testing process and shall be utilized for closely observing the employee's work, for securing the most effective adjustment of the employee to the new position, and for rejecting any probationary employee whose performance does not meet the required standards of work.

All original appointees to positions in classifications covered by this agreement shall serve a probationary period of twelve (12) months. Promotional appointees shall serve a probationary period of not less than six (6) months, nor more than twelve (12) months.

Where the probationer loses time from the job, whether paid or unpaid, in sufficient amounts as to detract from the stated objectives of City's Rule 11.01, the appointing authority may extend the period of probation beyond the limits contained in the preceding paragraph. This extension may not exceed the aggregate amount of lost time which caused the extension. The probationer shall be so advised prior to the effective date of the extension.

It shall be the duty of each department head and immediate supervisor to investigate carefully the probationer's adjustment and performance to determine whether or not the probationer is qualified for permanent status. The department head shall submit to the Personnel Officer an evaluation of the probationer's performance at time specified by the Officer, but no less than twice during the employee's probationary period.

Page 96 of 517 ends

23 The final probationary report on each probationer shall include, and earlier reports may include, the department head's recommendation regarding retention.

During the probationary period, an appointee may be rejected at any time by the appointing authority without cause and without right of appeal. Notice of rejection shall be served in writing on the probationer.

An employee rejected during the probationary period from a position in the Classified Service to which he has been promoted shall be reinstated to a position in the class from which he was promoted unless the rejection results in dismissal from the City service. Where rejection results in dismissal, the employee shall have the right to appeal such action in accordance with Rule 14 and shall be furnished advance notice pursuant to Rule 13.02.

Performance reports shall be completed at least annually for all personnel having permanent status in positions in the Classified Service. Such reports may be required more frequently by the Personnel Officer.

The disciplinary action(s) taken may include suspension, pay reduction, demotion, discharge, or any combination of these or other appropriate penalties.

All discipline action taken against an employee in the Classified Service must receive the prior approval of the appointing authority except under emergency circumstances which dictate immediate suspension of the employee by the department head or supervisor. In such cases, the employee's department head shall immediately report the action taken to the appointing authority who shall review the case and make a determination concerning the appropriateness of the suspension and of further disciplinary action.

All actions resulting in salary reductions or demotions shall be subject to review by the appointing authority and the department head involved within thirty (30) days following the effective date of the initial action and at regular intervals thereafter.

STEP 1 An employee who has a grievance shall bring it to the attention of his immediate supervisor within five (5) working days of the occurrence of the act which is the basis for the dispute. Where the grievance concerns a matter of proper compensation or a matter which could not reasonably be discovered by the employee within five (5) working days of its occurrence, the grievance on such a matter shall be raised within twenty (20) working days of the occurrence. If the employee and the immediate supervisor are unable to resolve the grievance within five (5) working days of the date it is raised with the immediate supervisor, the employee shall have the right to submit a formal grievance which shall contain the information set forth below.

1. The name of the grievant.

2. The grievant's department and specific work site.

Formal grievances shall be processed beginning with Step 2 of this procedure.

STEP 2 An employee dissatisfied with the decision of the immediate supervisor in Step 1 may submit the grievance to his department head within seven (7) working days from the date of the immediate supervisor's decision. The department head shall respond to the grievance in writing within seven (7) working days from the date of its receipt.

STEP 3 If the employee is dissatisfied with the decision of the department head in Step 2, he may submit the grievance to the appointing authority within ten (10) working days from receipt of the department head's response. The appointing authority, or his designated representative, shall respond to the grievance in writing within ten (10) working days of its receipt. Within this

Page 98 of 517 ends

25 period the appointing authority, at his discretion, may conduct an informal hearing involving the parties to the dispute.

STEP 4 For any disciplinary suspensions, disciplinary demotions or disciplinary terminations and for no other action(s), an employee who is dissatisfied with the decision of the appointing authority in Step 3 may submit the grievance to arbitration within ten (10) working days from receipt of the appointing authority's decision.

The City and the Association shall meet promptly to select a mutually acceptable arbitrator. The fees and expenses of the arbitrator and a court reporter shall be the responsibility of the City, except in cases where allegations are of criminal misconduct, dereliction of duty, abandonment of position of gross negligence or moral turpitude.

Exceptions to the aforementioned on-duty policy may be granted by the Municipal Employee Relations Officer where it is clearly necessary for a represented employee to confer with his employee representative on a matter concerning employee relations and the City. The time devoted to such meetings shall be kept to a minimum, and the employee representative shall notify the responsible supervisor or manager when arriving at and leaving the work site. Employees shall be permitted to schedule two one-hour meetings for the negotiation team and two one-hour meetings with all bargaining unit employees to be held on City premises to discuss labor relations issues. However, in no event shall the City pay overtime for any of said meetings. Prior to scheduling the meeting, permission shall be obtained from the department head responsible for the facility in which the meeting is to be held.

ARTICLE 44. EMERGENCY WAIVER PROVISIONS
In the event of circumstances beyond the control of the City, such as acts of God, fire, flood, insurrection, civil disorder, national emergency, or similar circumstances, the provisions of this Memorandum of Understanding which restrict the City's ability to respond to these emergencies shall be suspended for the duration of such emergency. After the emergency is over, the Association shall have the right to meet with the City regarding their impact on employees of the suspension of these provisions in this Memorandum of Understanding.

An employee who is called to serve as a juror shall be entitled to leave during the period of such service or while necessarily being present in court as the result of such a summons. Under these circumstances, the employee shall be paid his full salary for this period, provided the employee remits jury fees received to the City. Such fees shall not include mileage reimbursements or subsistence payments. In order to receive regular wages, the employee must provide the City with a copy of the summons and any documentation related to attendance.

Section 31. Layoff Procedure
A. The City Council may abolish any position in the Classified Service due to lack of funds, work or need.

B. The layoff of employees resulting from the elimination of positions shall be governed by the following procedures:
1) Layoffs shall be made from within the affected job classification in reverse order of total time in the Classified Service, including any period of probation, paid leave or active military leave.

Except as provided under Rule 17.13 of these Regulations no service credits shall be earned during any leave of absence without pay. Where time in service is equal between two (2) or more affected employees, their position on the seniority list shall serve as the determining factor.
2) The order of layoff in the affected classifications shall be:
a. Temporary employees.
b. Probationary employees.
c. Permanent employees.
3) Probationary and permanent employees in the Classified service who, under paragraph 1. above, are scheduled to be laid off shall receive at least twenty-one (21) days' written notice to this effect.

18 In lieu of layoff, a permanent employee may elect transfer or demotion to a vacant position in the Classified Service that the City intends to fill and for which the employee is qualified. Such actions shall be governed by the terms of Rules 12.03 and 12.04, and in no event shall result in an employee being placed in a classification carrying a higher maximum rate of pay.

Within ten (10) days from the date layoff notices are issued, an employee who would otherwise be laid off may elect to displace an employee in a classification carrying a lower or the same maximum rate of pay; provided, however, that the displacing employee must have held permanent status in such classification and have greater time in Classified Service than the employee being displaced.

A probationary or permanent employee displaced in accordance with this section shall, in turn, be provided the same notice and displacement privilege as set forth in this section. 4) Permanent and probationary personnel laid off in accordance with this Rule shall, at their request, be placed on a re-employment list as provided by Rule 9.03 of the City's Personnel Rules and Regulations. If an employee is re-employed from such a list, all service credits and other benefits accrued to the date of layoff shall be restored. In no event, however, shall the City be required to restore credits for vacation and other benefits paid out at the time of layoff.

At the time of layoff, the employee's name shall be removed from all promotional eligibility lists, but, at the employee's request, shall be retained on open-competitive lists subject to the provisions of Rule 9.05 of these Regulations.
5) A probationary or permanent employee laid off pursuant to this Rule, shall have the right to appeal directly to Step 3 of the Grievance Procedure as outlined in Section 40. An appeal filed under these circumstances shall not in any way be construed as stemming from a disciplinary action and the sole issue appropriate for determination shall be questions concerning interpretation or administration of the layoff procedure. An appeal filed under this paragraph shall not serve to suspend or delay layoff proceedings unless the appointing authority determines otherwise. In no event shall the appointing authority be empowered to hear and rule upon the City Council's judgment as to the merit and necessity of the elimination of positions.

Section 32. Demotion
Based upon an employee's request or upon an employee's demonstrated inability to perform the tasks of the position, the appointing authority may demote an employee to a position in a classification which carries a lower maximum rate of pay and which the employee is qualified to perform. Under these circumstances, the employee's new rate of pay shall be that step in the new salary range that most closely corresponds to the employee's former salary step.

Where such action is based upon an employee's inability to perform the work of the current position, the employee may appeal the action of the appointing authority pursuant to Section 40 of the Memorandum of Understanding.

Advance written notice of demotion, together with the effective date, shall be provided the employee and the employee's department head.
