placed facility" means afacility that is situated in a location which renders afacility virtually imperceptible tothe public. As such, the emphasis forthis category of stealth facility is on its location as opposed toits design.
Carefully placed facilities require no camouflaging or screening, in that existing site features (e.g. buildings, walls, roof parapets, or existing equipment) render such a requirement unnecessary. Successful examples of carefully placed facilities may include those proposed within an existing building (requiring no alteration of existing materials), those sited on the roof of a particularly large or tall building, and those which are flush mounted to an existing high voltage lattice tower and treated to match.

Significant gap" is a gap in the service provider' s own wireless communications facilities, as defined in federal case law interpretations of the Federal Telecommunications Act of 1996.
Site" means the same as defined- - the-4: in 47 C. F. R. Section 1. 6100( b)( 6), as may be amended or su erseded, which provides in part that "[ flor towers other than towers in the public rights -of -way, the current boundaries of the leased or owned property surrounding the tower and any access or utility easements currently related to the site, and, for other eligible support structures, further restricted to that area in proximity to the structure and to other transmission equipment already deployed on the ground." Small wireless facillty" means the same as defined in 47 C. F. R. Section 1. 60021! LAs mpy be amended or su erseded.
State" means the State of California.
Stealth facility" means facilities which result in no perceptible visual impact. As such, stealth facilities are generally preferable to concealed facilities except in rare circumstances when the concealment method serves to improve the aesthetic value or interest to a building or site. There are two primary categories of stealth facilities, those which are completely integrated into an existing structure or architectural feature and those which are imperceptible as a result of careful placement. Both stealth categories require the facility to remain integrated or imperceptible, even when the facility may be expanded upon under the provisions of an eligible facilities request.
Substantial change" means the same as defined by the FCC in 47 C. F. R. Section 1. 6100( b)( 7), as may be amended r sli erseded_, which defines that term differently based on the particular facility type and location. For clarity, the definition in this Cha ter organizes the FCC' s criteria and thresholds for a substantial change according to the facility type and location.
1. For towers outside the public right- of-way, a substantial change occurs when:
a. The proposed collocation or modification increases the overall height more than ten percent or the height of one additional antenna array not to exceed twenty feet ( whichever is greater); or b. The proposed collocation or modification involves adding an appurtenance to the body of the tower that would protrude from the edge of the tower more than twenty feet, or more than the width of the tower structure at the level of the appurtenance ( whichever is greater); or c. The proposed collocation or modification involves the installation of more than the standard number of equipment cabinets for the technology involved, not to exceed four cabinets; or d. The proposed collocation or modification involves excavation outside the current boundaries of the leased or owned property surrounding the wireless tower, including any access or utility easements currently related to the site.
2. For towers in the public rights -of -way and for all base stations, a substantial change occurs when:
a. The proposed collocation or modification increases the overall height more than ten percent or ten feet whichever is greater); or
b. The proposed collocation or modification involves adding an appurtenance to the body of the structure that would protrude from the edge of the structure by more than six feet; or c. The proposed collocation or modification involves the installation of more than the standard number of equipment cabinets for the technology involved, not to exceed four cabinets; or d. The proposed collocation or modification involves the installation of any new equipment cabinets on the ground when there are no pre- existing ground cabinets associated with the structure; or e. The proposed collocation or modification involves the installation of any ground cabinets that are more than ten percent larger in height or overall volume than any otherground cabinets associated with the structure; or

f. The proposed collocation or modification involves excavation outside the area in proximity to the structure and other transmission equipment already deployed on the ground.
3. In addition, for all towers and base stations wherever located, a substantial change occurs when:
a. The proposed collocation or modification would defeat the existing concealment elements of the support structure as determined by the — rrurrr, u,° pity C, v l, o rr ent Directq or b. The proposed collocation or modification violates a prior condition of approval, provided however that the collocation need not comply with any prior condition of approval related to height, width, equipment cabinets or excavation that is inconsistent with the thresholds for a substantial change described in this Section.
4. Interpretation of t.Thresholds.
a. The thresholds for a substantial change described above are disjunctive. The failure to meet any one or more of the applicable thresholds means that a substantial changewould occur. b. The thresholds for height increases are cumulative limits. For sites with horizontally separated deployments, the cumulative limit is measured from the originally -permitted support structure without regard to any increases in size due to wireless equipment not included in the original design. For sites with vertically separated deployments, the cumulative limit is measured from the permitted site dimensions as they existed on February 22, 2012— the date that Congress passed Section 6409( a).
Support Structure" or " Support Structures" means a structure or structures designed to support antenna( s) or other wireless transmission equipment to facilitate the transmitting and/ or receiving of radio frequency signals. Support structures include, but are not limited to, masts, monopoles, guyed structures, lattice towers, and other like structures used to support wireless transmission devices.

ORDINANCE NO. 2333
BEING AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CAMPBELL EXTENDING URGENCY MEASURES IN RESPONSE TO THE 2018 SMALL CELL ORDER ( FCC 18- 133) ISSUED BY THE FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION.
FILE NO. PLN- 2025- 50)
WHEREAS, on September 19, 2017, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2226, which repealed the former, and enacted the current, Chapter 21. 34 — Wireless Communications Facilities of the Campbell Municipal Code, which sets forth the City' s standards and procedures for the permitting and regulation of wireless communications facilities on private property in conjunction with the City' s adopted Wireless Facility Design Requirements, which were separately adopted by City Council Resolution No. 1226 on September 5, 2017;
WHEREAS, subsequent to the adoption of Ordinance No. 2226, the Federal Communications Commission issued its Declaratory Ruling and Third Report and Order ( FCC 18- 133), also known as the " 2018 Small Cell Order," which took effect on January 14, 2019, and significantly limited local authority over the siting and regulation of wireless facilities; WHEREAS, although the 2018 Small Cell Order primarily addresses installations within the public rights -of -way, it also affects private property by broadly interpreting the effective prohibition" clause under the Federal Telecommunications Act. As a result, local jurisdictions must waive or modify development standards, including height limits and placement requirements, if those standards are found to " materially inhibit" the provision of wireless service, significantly restricting the City' s ability to enforce existing regulations; WHEREAS, pursuant to California Government Code section 65858 and Campbell Municipal Code Section 21. 60. 090, the City Council is authorized to adopt interim ordinances as urgency measures to protect the public health, safety, and welfare, upon finding that there is a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety, or welfare, and that the approval of additional permits or entitlements would result in that threat; WHEREAS, without interim regulations in place, the City may be forced to process wireless facility applications under outdated or legally vulnerable standards, potentially resulting in adverse aesthetic, environmental, and community impacts, and limiting the City's ability to mitigate these concerns;
WHEREAS, on July 1, 2025, the City Council adopted Interim Ordinance No. 2331 to temporarily align the City's wireless facility permitting process with federal law while permanent updates to local regulations are prepared;
WHEREAS, the Community Development Department is currently conducting a study to update the City' s zoning provisions to ensure consistency with current law and to safeguard the public health, safety, and welfare. This study is expected to be completed within a reasonable time, not to exceed the duration of this interim extension, or until a permanent ordinance is adopted, whichever occurs first;
Item 8.3
Tuesday, June 02, 2026 171 of 280
WHEREAS, Government Code Section 65858 authorizes the City Council to extend an interim ordinance for an additional 10 months and 15 days following public notice and a duly held public hearing;
WHEREAS, this matter was duly noticed and considered at a public hearing in accordance with applicable law;
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that extending Interim Ordinance No. 2331 is necessary to preserve legally defensible local regulations consistent with federal law, while permanent regulations are developed and adopted through the standard legislative process; WHEREAS, the City Council finds and determines that extending the previously adopted interim ordinance ( Ordinance No. 2331) would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or general welfare of the city and is internally consistent with other applicable provisions of the Campbell Municipal Code; WHEREAS, based on the foregoing findings, the City Council further finds that an ongoing threat to public health, safety, or welfare remains, and that continued application of existing standards, requirements, and permitting procedures would exacerbate this threat.
These conditions, previously addressed by Interim Ordinance No. 2331, warrant its extension while permanent regulations are developed;
WHEREAS, the adoption of this ordinance does not constitute a " project" under CEQA Guidelines Section 15378, as it has no potential to cause either a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical impact on the environment. Alternatively, if deemed a project, the ordinance may be found exempt under the common sense exemption ( Section 15061( b)( 3)), as it can be seen with certainty that no significant environmental impacts will result, and under Section 15308, as a regulatory action taken to protect the environment during the preparation of permanent regulations;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CAMPBELL DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1 ( SEVERABILITY): If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase of this Ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by a decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of the Ordinance. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed this interim ordinance and each and every section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase not declared invalid or unconstitutional without regard to whether any portion of the ordinance would be subsequently declared invalid or unconstitutional.
SECTION 2 ( CEQA): This Ordinance is not a " project" under CEQA Guidelines Section 15378. Alternatively, it is exempt under the common sense exemption (Section 15061( b)( 3)) and Section 15308, as a regulatory action taken to protect the environment.
SECTION 3 ( CONFORMANCE WITH LAW). Any provision of this Ordinance that conflicts with applicable state or federal. law shall be interpreted and applied to achieve compliance.
Item 8.3
Tuesday, June 02, 2026 172 of 280
The provisions of this Ordinance shall prevail over any inconsistent provision of the Campbell Municipal Code for the duration of its effectiveness.
SECTION 5 ( PUBLICATION): The City Clerk shall cause this interim ordinance to be published at least once in a newspaper of general circulation within 15 days after its adoption in accordance with Government Code Section 36933.
SECTION 6 ( EFFECTIVENESS): Interim Ordinance No. 2331 is hereby extended for 10 months and fifteen days, or until it is superseded by adoption of superseding ordinance, whichever comes first.

Feedback on Interim Wireless Ordinance &
Concerns About Residential Tower Siting
To the attention of Stephen Rose, Campbell Mayor, Councilmembers, and Planning Staff,
Thank you for adopting the interim wireless ordinance as part of the City’s efforts to update Chapter 21.42 of the Municipal Code. I appreciate Campbell’s proactive approach to balancing infrastructure needs with community safety and neighborhood character.
However, I remain deeply concerned about the construction of freestanding wireless towers in or near residential neighborhoods (i.e., homes, apartments, townhomes, schools, and elder-care facilities, nursing facilities). These areas include families with children, elderly residents, and individuals with compromised immune systems. While the long-term health effects of radiofrequency (RF) exposure continue to be studied, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), part of the World Health Organization, has classified RF electromagnetic fields as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B) (WHO/IARC, 2011). The International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) also updated its exposure guidelines in 2020, recognizing the need for stricter technical protections (ICNIRP, 2020). In line with international practice, several European countries (including France and Germany) recommend precautionary siting distances, particularly for facilities near schools and residences.
Economic and quality-of-life concerns must also be taken seriously. Research has found that the presence of large wireless towers can reduce nearby property values. For example, peer-reviewed studies have documented measurable price reductions of between 2–9% in markets where towers are sited near homes (Bond & Wang, Journal of Real Estate Finance and Economics, 2005; Gibbons & Machin, Economic Journal, 2005; Savvopoulos et al., International Journal of Housing Markets and Analysis, 2024). This is compounded by disclosure requirements, buyer hesitancy, and potential insurance complications. Neighborhood aesthetics and visual character are also diminished when towers are placed near residences or community spaces.
Transparency in applications is equally critical. In past cases, such as the contested 2633 South Bascom Avenue site in Campbell, applicants mischaracterized land uses in their filings (e.g., labeling a multi-family residence as a “motel”). Such misrepresentations undermine public trust and highlight the need for independent verification of all key claims.
Item 8.3
Tuesday, June 02, 2026 184 of 280
The City has authority under the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (§332(c)(7)) to regulate siting based on zoning, aesthetics, property values, and land-use compatibility. While the Act prohibits cities from denying applications solely on RF health grounds if they meet FCC standards, it does not preempt reasonable local rules regarding setbacks, design, collocation, and neighborhood compatibility (FCC, 1996; US Code, 47 §332).
Additionally, under FCC rules and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), certain tower proposals require an Environmental Assessment (EA), particularly when they may affect historic preservation, community character, or cumulative RF exposure. (FCC NEPA Rules, 47 CFR §1.1307). Towers near schools, parks, or sensitive residential areas may meet this threshold.
In light of these concerns, I respectfully urge the City to adopt the following measures in the permanent ordinance:
1. Setbacks: Require a minimum 500-meter (1,640-foot) buffer for new freestanding towers from homes, schools, parks, and health facilities, unless collocation and less-intrusive alternatives are proven infeasible.
2. Independent verification: Mandate third-party review of application claims (land use, distances, RF modeling), funded by the applicant through fees or deposits.
3. Property-value disclosure: Require applicants to provide an independent appraisal or real-estate market impact study when siting towers near residences.
4. Design standards: Prioritize stealth designs and collocation in commercial/industrial zones, consistent with the principle of “least intrusive means.”
5. Public participation: Require robust notice (at least 30 days in advance) to property owners within 1,000 feet of a proposed site and ensure a public hearing process.
6. Monitoring and compliance: Require post-construction RF compliance testing and periodic re-certification to ensure ongoing adherence to FCC limits.
7. Temporary moratorium: Adopt a 6–12 month moratorium on new freestanding towers in residential zones while the Municipal Code is updated, as other cities have successfully done (e.g., Los Altos, San Bruno).
Conclusion
By grounding these rules in aesthetics, land-use compatibility, property values, and transparency, areas where local governments retain clear authority Campbell Item 8.3
Tuesday, June 02, 2026 185 of 280
can create a legally defensible, forward-thinking ordinance that protects both infrastructure needs and neighborhood integrity.
Thank you for your attention to these concerns and for your continued service to our community.
Sincerely,
Vanitha Venkateshlu

Subject: Feedback on Interim Wireless Ordinance & Concerns About Residential Tower Siting Dear Stephen,
Thank you for adopting the interim wireless ordinance as part of the City’s efforts to update Chapter 21.42 of the Municipal Code.
This letter outlines the serious concerns held by area residents regarding the construction of freestanding wireless towers in residential areas, with specific reference to the proposed project at 2633 S. Bascom Avenue
This letter is also documents the persistent community opposition to the proposed wireless tower at 2633 S. Bascom Avenue, with particular emphasis on the potential health and safety risks. Our concerns are not speculative; they are based on the tower's extremely close proximity to residences and existing scientific evidence.
The proposed location is a mere 60 meters from my home, will be placing my family and my neighbors in a potential high-exposure zone. This proximity is critical, as studies have shown that residents living near base stations can report significantly more health symptoms, with some evidence linking long-term exposure to more serious health issues.
Furthermore, an analysis of the provided antenna radiation pattern reveals that the main lobe of the signal will be directed to our residential properties. This positions our families directly in the concentrated path of RF and microwave emissions.
While we recognize the need for reliable telecommunications, it is essential to prioritize public health.
We urge you to reconsider this location and to pursue alternative solutions that do not jeopardize the well-being of our community. We expect a formal response outlining how you will address the evidence-based concerns raised by affected residents
In evaluating the potential impact of the proposed tower, I performed an illustrative assessment of electromagnetic radiation levels at an existing, comparable tower site located on S. McGlincy Ln. The readings documented during this exercise demonstrated that significant levels of RF, ELF, and EMF radiation are present in the near-field of similar installations. The measurements were performed with EMF Meter, Advanced GQ EMF-390 Multi-Field Electromagnetic Radiation 3-in-1 EMF ELF RF meter, 5G Cell Tower Smart meter Wifi Signal Detector RF up to 10GHz with Data Logger and
2.5Ghz Spectrum Analyzer, which is used by individuals, organizations and the governments(Eg. US Department of State)

2 Measurements from an EMF meter indicated that radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic radiation 50 to 100 meters from the cell tower was well above the safe threshold. Consequently, the area is designated as "Not recommended for long time stay"
According to major regulatory and health organizations, a distance of 500 meters (about 1,640 feet) from a cell tower is considered a safe distance for public exposure. The radiofrequency (RF) radiation exposure at this distance is well within established safety limits.
In addition to potential health impacts, there are quality of life and economic concerns that must be taken seriously. The presence of large towers in residential zones can significantly affect neighborhood aesthetics and generate stress or unease for nearby residents. Home values may decline by 10–20% when located near visible or high-powered cell towers, especially when close to bedrooms or outdoor living spaces. These economic effects are compounded by buyer hesitancy, insurance considerations, and property disclosure obligations.
Moreover, accuracy and transparency in tower applications are critical. In past cases such as the publicly contested 2633 South Bascom Avenue, Campbell, CA 95008 site, the applicant mischaracterized a multi-family residence as a “motel” in their documentation. Such behavior undermines public trust and highlights the need for independent verification of claims.
The City of Campbell’s Municipal Code and zoning framework must remain the primary basis for siting decisions. Any proposed wireless facility that violates established height, setback, or aesthetic guidelines should be deemed incompatible with surrounding land uses. Further, under the Telecommunications Act of 1996, providers are expected to prioritize collocation on existing structures and must demonstrate that no less intrusive alternatives exist. This legal standard provides the City with discretion to reject applications that do not meet zoning or community compatibility criteria.
In light of growing community concern and gaps in existing regulations, we also respectfully urge the City to consider adopting a temporary moratorium on new wireless facility approvals. A moratorium will allow sufficient time to update Campbell’s Municipal Code, integrate recent federal and scientific findings, and establish clearer public health protections in residential zones.
Under FCC rules, certain towers may require an Environmental Assessment (EA) even if they would otherwise be categorically excluded—especially if there are concerns about historic preservation, community character, or cumulative RF exposure. We believe this threshold may be triggered for towers near sensitive residential, school, or park locations and should be investigated.
While regulators often cite that RF exposure levels fall off rapidly with distance, exposure at close proximity remains a concern, particularly in dense neighborhoods with multiple overlapping signal sources. The effective radiated power (ERP) in urban small-cell deployments may be lower than in rural areas, but cumulative exposure and 24/7 emissions in residential zones still warrant strong setbacks. International best practices—particularly in Germany and France—recommend greater buffer zones when near homes or schools.
We respectfully urge the City to consider the following in the permanent ordinance:
1. Increase the minimum setback for new freestanding towers to at least 1640 feet (500 meters) from residential homes, schools, parks, and health facilities.
Item 8.3
Tuesday, June 02, 2026 192 of 280
3 2. Mandate third-party verification of all application claims (e.g., land use, proximity to dwellings).
3. Explicitly consider property value impacts, and require applicants to submit real estate impact disclosures as part of the review process.
4. Prioritize stealth designs and co-location in commercial or industrial zones, consistent with the principle of “least intrusive means.”
5. Ensure robust public notice and hearing opportunities, especially when facilities are proposed near sensitive areas.
Thank you for your attention to these concerns and for your continued service to our community. I hope the City will adopt a forward-thinking, community-first approach in its final wireless ordinance.

Dear Bill,
My name is Satish and I am a Campbell Resident. I am very thankful to you for making the city have a reasonable plan for building cell towers.
I am writing to you about the Campbell Interim Ordinance regarding Wireless Communication Facilities. I have shared this ordinance with my attorney (Gail Parish) and she had some feedback on this. I have included them along with this email. She is happy to get on a call with you to discuss further. Please review her email and advise if she can call you to discuss this. Thanks.
Thanks,

Satish,
Thanks for sharing the video of the City Council meeting in which the wireless urgency ordinance was recently adopted. I am concerned about two issues where I think staff may be misunderstanding federal law, and one additional issue where I think the wireless regulations could be stronger.
1. Staff seems to think the "materially inhibits" standard for evaluating an effective prohibition claim under federal law that was discussed in the FCC’s Small Cell Order must be applied to all wireless facilities regardless of size and is not limited to 5G small cells.
I don’t agree with staff’s interpretation here. I believe it overstates the scope of the Ninth Circuit’s decision in City of Portland v. United States, 969 F.3d 1020 (9th Cir. 2020). While the Ninth Circuit did uphold most of the FCC’s Small Cell Order which applies the materially inhibits standard, a careful reading of both the FCC Order and the Court’s decision shows that both were narrowly focused on local regulation of 5G technology requiring the installation of large numbers of small cell facilities. The FCC’s specific concerns about barriers to deployment of 5G technology were what drove the FCC to issue its declaratory order applying the materially inhibits standard to limit local regulation of 5G small cells (imposing limits as to fees and aesthetics). Likewise, in upholding most of the Small Cell Order, the Ninth Circuit pointed repeatedly to the FCC’s order being rooted in the uniqueness of 5G technology deployments.
I would also note that, in upholding most of the Small Cell Order, the Ninth Circuit did not expressly reject its own ample existing precedent applying the "significant gap/least intrusive means" standard for effective prohibition claims involving macro wireless facilities. That standard is set out in well-known cases including T-Mobile USA, Inc. v. City of Anacortes, 572 F.3d 987 (9th Cir. 2009) and Sprint PCS Assets, LLC. v. City of Palos Verdes Ests., 583 F.3d 716 (9th Cir. 2009). And that standard continues to be applied by lower courts in cases after the Ninth Circuit’s decision in City of Portland. For example see, Weis Towers LLC v. Kootenai Cnty., No. 2:24-CV-00375-BLW, 2025 WL 2549838, at *10 (D. Idaho Sept. 4, 2025)(citing Anacortes, 572 F.3d at 997-98); New Cingular Wireless PCS, LLC v. Kootenai Cnty., No. 2:23-CV-00124-AKB, 2025 WL 563911, at *10 (D. Idaho Feb. 20, 2025) (same); GTE Mobilnet of California Ltd. P’ship v. City of Berkeley, No. 20-CV-05460-DMR, 2024 WL 4581307, at *8 (N.D. Cal. Oct. 25, 2024) (same).
While we anticipate seeing industry plaintiffs increasingly trying to expand the scope of the materially inhibits standard beyond 5G small cell technology, and while the FCC has recently launched a rulemaking proceeding in which it has asked for comment on potential ways it could expand the Small Cell Order “reforms” to macro cell towers that support of 5G services, today there is no clear court mandate to apply that standard. As such, there is no benefit to the City getting ahead of existing Ninth Circuit precedent and adopting this industry-friendly interpretation.
2. Staff's answer to a council member question suggested Staff seem to think wireless development standards must be objective.
This is also not correct. The FCC’s Small Cell Order did have a requirement that aesthetic standards for small cell facilities must be objective. But that requirement was struck down by the Ninth Circuit in City of Portland. I would want to make sure the City understands its full authority can allow for design criteria that are subjective for all wireless facilities.
3. The hierarchy of preferences in the wireless ordinance would ultimately allow unconcealed facilities (provided the applicant could show other preferences not feasible).
Stronger regulations would require all facilities to be stealthed and better protect views. These requirements not only provide better aesthetic outcomes, but they can help limit the ability of carriers to implement future changes to the wireless facilities through applications for eligible facilities requests which must be approved by local governments under federal law and FCC regulations.

Subject: Feedback on Cell Tower Ordinance that is in the works Attachments: Wireless_Tower_Letter_Campbell_Complete_October_22_2025.pdf Hi Stephen,
I’m writing to share feedback regarding the proposed cell tower ordinance. The memories of last year’s Bascom tower proposal remain vivid in our community.
Health concerns, potential impacts on property values, and overall quality of life continue to be significant issues with lasting consequences. The Bascom proposal, which was ultimately rejected, raised deep concern that the business interests of a single individual or family were being prioritized over those of 100's if not 1000's of nearby residents within a 500-meter radius. Even nearby commercial property owners had not been properly informed.
During the prior hearing, the misrepresentation of a neighboring apartment complex as a “motel” in order to justify a 75-foot wireless tower shocked many in our community. We believe that individuals who knowingly misstate facts or mislead the public to obtain permits should not be permitted to submit further applications.
Thank you again for providing the opportunity to voice our continued concerns. Please let us know if there are any public hearings pertaining to the cell tower ordinance. So that the community has time to share their feedback. Attached is a list of recommendations for the cell tower ordinance.
Please acknowledge reception.
Kind regards,

Feedback on Interim Wireless Ordinance &
Concerns About Residential Tower Siting
To the attention of Stephen Rose, Planning Staff for Campbell, Ca Thank you for adopting the interim wireless ordinance as part of the City’s efforts to update Chapter 21.42 of the Municipal Code. I appreciate Campbell’s proactive approach to balancing infrastructure needs with community safety and neighborhood character.
However, I remain deeply concerned about the construction of freestanding wireless towers in or near residential neighborhoods (i.e., homes, apartments, townhomes, schools, and elder-care facilities, nursing facilities). These areas include families with children, elderly residents, and individuals with compromised immune systems. While the long-term health effects of radiofrequency (RF) exposure continue to be studied, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), part of the World Health Organization, has classified RF electromagnetic fields as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B) (WHO/IARC, 2011). The International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) also updated its exposure guidelines in 2020, recognizing the need for stricter technical protections (ICNIRP, 2020). In line with international practice, several European countries (including France and Germany) recommend precautionary siting distances, particularly for facilities near schools and residences.
Economic and quality-of-life concerns must also be taken seriously. Research has found that the presence of large wireless towers can reduce nearby property values. For example, peer-reviewed studies have documented measurable price reductions of between 2–9% in markets where towers are sited near homes (Bond & Wang, Journal of Real Estate Finance and Economics, 2005; Gibbons & Machin, Economic Journal, 2005; Savvopoulos et al., International Journal of Housing Markets and Analysis, 2024). This is compounded by disclosure requirements, buyer hesitancy, and potential insurance complications. Neighborhood aesthetics and visual character are also diminished when towers are placed near residences or community spaces.
Transparency in applications is equally critical. In past cases, such as the contested 2633 South Bascom Avenue site in Campbell, applicants mischaracterized land uses in their filings (e.g., labeling a multi-family residence as a “motel”). Such misrepresentations undermine public trust and highlight the need for independent verification of all key claims.
Item 8.3

The City has authority under the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (§332(c)(7)) to regulate siting based on zoning, aesthetics, property values, and land-use compatibility. While the Act prohibits cities from denying applications solely on RF health grounds if they meet FCC standards, it does not preempt reasonable local rules regarding setbacks, design, collocation, and neighborhood compatibility (FCC, 1996; US Code, 47 §332).
Additionally, under FCC rules and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), certain tower proposals require an Environmental Assessment (EA), particularly when they may affect historic preservation, community character, or cumulative RF exposure. (FCC NEPA Rules, 47 CFR §1.1307). Towers near schools, parks, or sensitive residential areas may meet this threshold.
In light of these concerns, I respectfully urge the City to adopt the following measures in permanent ordinance:
1. Setbacks: Require a minimum 500-meter (1,640-foot) buffer for new freestanding towers from homes, schools, parks, and health facilities, unless collocation and less-intrusive alternatives are proven infeasible.
2. Independent verification: Mandate third-party review of application claims (land use, distances, RF modeling), funded by the applicant through fees or deposits.
3. Property-value disclosure: Require applicants to provide an independent appraisal or real-estate market impact study when sitting in towers near residences.
4. Design standards: Prioritize stealth designs and collocation in commercial/industrial zones, consistent with the principle of “least intrusive means.”
5. Public participation: Require robust notice (at least 30 days in advance) to property owners within 1,000 feet of a proposed site and ensure a public hearing process.
6. Monitoring and compliance: Require post-construction RF compliance testing and periodic re-certification to ensure ongoing adherence to FCC limits.
7. Temporary moratorium: Adopt a 6–12 month moratorium on new freestanding towers in residential zones while the Municipal Code is updated, as other cities have successfully done (e.g., Los Altos, San Bruno).
We understand that there are federal guidelines. However, federal preemption does not limit the City’s zoning authority to regulate the placement, design, aesthetics, and land-use compatibility of wireless infrastructure. The City can still Item 8.3
Tuesday, June 02, 2026 201 of 280
uphold its duty to protect public welfare by enforcing robust local setbacks, prioritizing industrial zones over residential siting, and requesting evidence of technical necessity and site analysis for each proposed location.
Moreover, credible scientific and real estate studies, can inform future ordinance revisions, justify a temporary moratorium, or support the development of one.
In addition, proposals which are within city limits bordering another city must factor in and involve the neighboring city and it’s residences in the planning process.
Conclusion
By grounding these rules in aesthetics, land-use compatibility, property values, and transparency, areas where local governments retain clear authority Campbell can create a legally defensible, forward-thinking ordinance that protects both infrastructure needs and neighborhood integrity.
Thank you for your attention to these concerns and for your continued service to our community.

About Residential Tower Siting
To the attention of Stephen Rose, Campbell Mayor, Councilmembers, and Planning Staff,
Thank you for adopting the interim wireless ordinance as part of the City’s efforts to update Chapter 21.42 of the Municipal Code. I appreciate Campbell’s proactive approach to balancing infrastructure needs with community safety and neighborhood character.
However, I remain deeply concerned about the construction of freestanding wireless towers in or near residential neighborhoods (i.e., homes, apartments, townhomes, schools, and elder-care facilities, nursing facilities). These areas include families with children, elderly residents, and individuals with compromised immune systems. While the long-term health effects of radiofrequency (RF) exposure continue to be studied, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), part of the World Health Organization, has classified RF electromagnetic fields as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B) (WHO/IARC, 2011). The International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) also updated its exposure guidelines in 2020, recognizing the need for stricter technical protections (ICNIRP, 2020). In line with international practice, several European countries (including France and Germany) recommend precautionary siting distances, particularly for facilities near schools and residences.
Economic and quality-of-life concerns must also be taken seriously.
Research has found that the presence of large wireless towers can reduce nearby property values. For example, peer-reviewed studies have documented measurable price reductions up to 20% in markets where towers are sited near homes (Bond & Wang, Journal of Real Estate Finance and Economics, 2005; Gibbons & Machin, Economic Journal, 2005; Savvopoulos et al., International Journal of Housing Markets and Analysis, 2024). This is compounded by disclosure requirements, buyer hesitancy, and potential insurance complications. Neighborhood aesthetics and visual character are also diminished when towers are placed near residences or community spaces.
Transparency in applications is equally critical.
In past cases, such as the contested 2633 South Bascom Avenue site in Campbell, applicants mischaracterized land uses in their filings (e.g., labeling a multi-family Item 8.3
Tuesday, June 02, 2026 205 of 280
residence as a “motel”). Such misrepresentations undermine public trust and highlight the need for independent verification of all key claims.
The City has authority under the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (§332(c)(7)) to regulate siting based on zoning, aesthetics, property values, and land-use compatibility. While the Act prohibits cities from denying applications solely on RF health grounds if they meet FCC standards, it does not preempt reasonable local rules regarding setbacks, design, collocation, and neighborhood compatibility (FCC, 1996; US Code, 47 §332).

Attachments: Wireless_Tower_Letter_Campbell_Complete_October_22_2025.pdf Hi Stephen,
I’m writing to share feedback regarding the proposed cell tower ordinance. The memories of last year’s Bascom tower proposal remain vivid in our community.
Health concerns, potential impacts on property values, and overall quality of life continue to be significant issues with lasting consequences. The Bascom proposal, which was ultimately rejected, raised deep concern that the business interests of a single individual or family were being prioritized over those of 100's if not 1000's of nearby residents within a 500-meter radius. Even nearby commercial property owners had not been properly informed.
During the prior hearing, the misrepresentation of a neighboring apartment complex as a “motel” in order to justify a 75-foot wireless tower shocked many in our community. We believe that individuals who knowingly misstate facts or mislead the public to obtain permits should not be permitted to submit further applications.
Thank you again for providing the opportunity to voice our continued concerns. Please let us know if there are any public hearings pertaining to the cell tower ordinance. So that the community has time to share their feedback. Attached is a list of recommendations for the cell tower ordinance.
Please acknowledge reception.
Kind regards,
Samiksha Sinku

Economic and quality-of-life concerns must also be taken seriously. Research has found that the presence of large wireless towers can reduce nearby property values.

City Council Report
DATE: June 2, 2026
TITLE: Approval and Award of a New Janitorial Service Contract for City Owned Buildings (City Hall, Lower Police Annex, Police Operations Building, Historical Fire House Museum, Ainsley House, Carriage House, 2nd Street Garage and the City Service Center) (Resolution/Roll Call Vote) RECOMMENDED ACTION:
That the City Council adopt a resolution: 1) approving and awarding the contract for the janitorial services to the Impec Group, LLC in an amount not to exceed $264,445 for city owned buildings (City Hall, Lower Police Annex, Police Operations Building, Historical Fire House Museum, Ainsley House, Carriage House, 2nd Street Garage and the City Service Center); and 2) authorizing the City Manager to execute said contract as specified in Campbell Municipal Code Section 3.20.100 for a period of one year plus the option to include up to five (5) additional one (1) year extensions for a total of six (6) years.
BACKGROUND
Janitorial service ensures that our city-owned buildings are clean and visually appealing and professional. A clean environment reduces stress among employees and creates a welcoming atmosphere for visitors, as well as enhance productivity. High touch point environments like restrooms, kitchens, and common areas are hotspots for bacteria and viruses. Janitorial services for all City facilities are provided by outside contractors to keep these high areas clean and disinfecting where appropriate. The Department of Public Works, Building Maintenance Division manages two separate contracts for these services.
The first contract, for services at the Campbell Community Center, Heritage Theatre and City Park Restrooms, were executed by City Council in 2022, and can be extended for additional one-year term until 2027 year.
The second contract, for janitorial services at City Hall, Lower Police Annex, Historical Fire House Museum, Ainsley House, Carriage House, 2nd Street Garage and the City Service Center, will expire June 30, 2026. A new contract is necessary beginning July 1, 2026, to continue service to these city facilities and also to add janitorial service for the new Police Operations Building.
DISCUSSION
Item 9.1
Tuesday, June 02, 2026 218 of 280
On May 1, 2026, the City issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for janitorial services that evaluates the quality of service and pricing to achieve the best value to the City. A total of 2 proposals were received. The evaluation panel consisting of Public Works, Recreation and Police Department staff reviewed the proposals. The Impec Group, LLC was found to be the most qualified for the work. The contract is structured as a multiyear contract, allowing additional years of service beyond the first year for up to five (5) one-year term contingent on satisfactory contract performance and at the option of the City.
The attached Resolution has been prepared for City Council to: 1) approve and award the contract with Impec Group, LLC for a not to exceed amount of $264,445; and 2) authorize the City Manager to execute the said janitorial services contract as specified in Campbell Municipal Code Section 3.20.100 for an initial one-year term plus the option to include up to five (5) additional one (1) year extensions for a total of six (6) years.
Each additional one-year extension would be authorized to increase the contract amount, adjusted per the Consumer Price Index for the San Francisco Bay Area as of the month of May of that year.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for janitorial services is provided for in the Building Maintenance Operational Budget.
ALTERNATIVES
Do not award and approve the contract and direct staff to pursue an alternate service delivery model.

June 2, 2026
Honorable Mayor, Vice-Mayor, and City Councilmembers:
I am pleased to introduce to you the Proposed Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 Operating Budget and 2027 - 2031 Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). The Operating Budget and CIP serve as a policy document, a financial plan, a communication's device, and an operation’s guide; reflecting the policies, goals, programs, and service priorities and values of the City Council and the Campbell community. Specifically, the current budget and CIP process continues to emphasize a Priority-Based Budgeting approach to link City resources with the strategic priorities of the City Council and community, while also seeking to maintain fiscal prudence. This process started at the March 5 Special Meeting, in which the City Council discussed the organizations’ FY 2027 priorities shown as Exhibit A and later adopted them at the March 24 Regular Meeting. Those meetings were then followed up by the May 5 Budget Study Session, in which Council provided staff input and direction on the items below:
• FY 2027 Preliminary Workplans
• FY 2027 Preliminary General Fund Operating Budget
• 2027 – 2031 Preliminary CIP
• Revised Performance Measures / Service Objectives
Based on City Council input and direction staff has prepared the FY 2027 Proposed Workplans shown as Exhibit B as well as the Proposed Budget and CIP. The budget development process though continues to be an iterative process and there will be additional opportunities for Council feedback as well as community input on June 2 (Budget Introduction) and June 16 (Budget Adoption). Any further Council feedback that reaches majority consensus at the June 2 Budget Introduction will be incorporated into the June 16 Budget Adoption if it is fiscally feasible. This transmittal letter is intended to provide a highlevel overview of the proposed budget and CIP, by addressing the following items:
• A – Financial Summary
• B – Economic Update and Outlook
• C – Long-Range Forecast
• D – Budget Awards
• E – Next Steps
• F – Conclusions and Acknowledgements
• Exhibit A - FY 2027 Adopted City Council Priorities
• Exhibit B – FY 2027 Proposed Workplans
A - FINANCIAL SUMMARY
General Fund – Financial Summary
Item 9.2
Tuesday, June 02, 2026 238 of 280
Table 1 – General Fund Summary
For a more detailed Fund Balance Report, please see the Fund Summaries section of the Budget book Currently Proposed FY 2027 Operating and Capital expenditures for the General Fund equal $74.1 million. This proposal results in General Fund expenditures being fully balanced against estimated General Fund revenues in FY 2027. The General Fund, expenditures for FY 2027 show a 5.6% increase when compared to FY 2026 Year-End Estimates of $70.2 million. General Fund revenues for FY 2027 also show a 5.6% increase when compared to FY 2026 Year-End Estimates of $70.2 million. The proposed budget includes the following items and assumptions:
• All current City operations remain largely status quo, but FY 2027 budget requests account for inflation, contractually agreed to increases to vendors, and other costs to meet high priority Workplan objectives.
• No inclusion as of yet of Cost-of-Living Adjustments (COLAs) for any bargaining unit or employee, with all Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) expiring either June 30, 2026 (CMEA, CPCEA, CARP, Confidential, MGMT, UNREP) or December 30, 2026 (CPOA). All MOUs are currently under negotiations. However, should Council have interest in providing salary adjustments, such adjustments may cost between $1 and $2 million depending on percentage (%) and effective dates. • No increases as of yet to City’s Healthcare Contribution Levels for 2027 for any bargaining unit or employee, with all MOUs again expiring either June 30, 2026 or December 30, 2026. The City Council could direct staff to include some level of assumed calendar year 2027 City healthcare contribution increase for the June 2 Budget Introduction and/or June 16 Budget Adoption versions. Such adjustments may cost between $100,000 and $200,000 depending on percentage (%). • No permanent staffing additions and extensions. Given the City’s fiscal constraints, the FY 2027 Proposed Budget does not include any permanent staffing additions or extensions. However, several low-cost position reclassifications and upgrades which make operational sense have been included in the FY 2027 Proposed Budget. These include the reclassification of a currently vacant 0.75 PartTime Community Services Officers (CSO) to a 1.0 Full-Time CSO, the reclassification of a Museum Collections Coordinator to a Recreation Program Coordinator, the Item 9.2
Tuesday, June 02, 2026 239 of 280
reclassification on a vacant Engineering Tech to a Jr. Engineer, the reclassification of a Streets Maintenance Supervisor to a Streets and Fleets Maintenance Supervisor with added supervisory duties, the reclassification of an Equipment Maintenance Supervisor to a Lead Mechanic, and upgrading the CSO salary rates and job specification to better align with current and future operational needs. Such reclassifications have an estimated cost impact of $90,000 in FY 2027.
Additionally, the FY 2027 Proposed Budget removes the Limited-Term Environmental Programs Specialist in the Community Development Department effective June 30, 2026 at an estimated savings of $138,400 and transitions the Limited-Term Sr. Public Works Project Manager to a permanent position after December 30, 2026 to help with ongoing capital projects at an estimated annual cost of $233,500.
• No Use of Measure K Sales Tax Revenues in FY 2027 unless litigation is resolved with a favorable, final, and non-appealable outcome to the City. As detailed in several public meetings and distributed material over 2024 as well as official ballot language, Measure K was estimated to generate $7 million annually in new general purpose sales tax revenue (starting April 1, 2025). Such additional revenue could potentially be used to stabilize and support ongoing City services and operational costs as well as address deferred maintenance, infrastructure, replenishment of reserves spent down during the pandemic, and unfunded liability needs so as to ensure long-term fiscal stability for the City. The ½ cent Measure K sales tax rate went into effect as approved April 1, 2025 and has generated $6.7 million through March 31, 2026 (representing one full year of receipts), plus an estimated $270,000 in interest earnings; bringing total funds close to initial estimates of $7 million annually.
Nevertheless, all funds collected to date and any interest earned have been placed by government statute into an interest-bearing escrow account and remain untouched until a non-appealable decision is reached in the case. If the City receives a favorable final decision, it will have full access to use accumulated Measure K funds and interest placed into escrow as well as ongoing future Measure K revenues. If the City receives an unfavorable final decision, it will return all accumulated Measure K funds and interest to the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA). • Increased annual payment of approximately $630,000 to the CalPERS retirement system for the City’s required contribution towards its unfunded actuarial liability (UAL). While normal retirement premium payments for current employees are expected to decrease over time as Classic Tier One employees are replaced by Classic Tier Two or PEPRA Tier Three employees, the City’s UAL will continue to increase as CalPERS ramps up incorporation of large 20%+ investment losses by the retirement pool during the pandemic as well as a gradual lowering of the discount rate. Both of these items were expected and discussed during the November 21, 2023 Study Session. Thus, one of staff’s FY 2027 Proposed Workplan items continues to be developing policies and plans to pay down the City’s UAL and reduce overall pension costs over time. Such policies and plans will require adequate funding and until each are developed, funded, and implemented, the City will continue to be negatively impacted by unfunded pension liabilities. • $115,600 increase in annual General Liability and Property Insurance premiums charged by the City’s risk sharing pool (PLAN JPA) due to continued, albeit diminishing cost increases in the insurance market nationwide. The City participates in Item 9.2
Tuesday, June 02, 2026 240 of 280
PLAN JPA with 28 other municipalities located in the San Francisco Bay Area and this allows each jurisdiction to pool their risk and liability and develop cost effective programs and coverage layers to mitigate and protect against those liabilities. Despite best efforts, costs have risen dramatically for the JPA the past several years and this is again indicative of the insurance market in general and not necessarily any Campbell related claims settled. It is unlikely that the City would be able to insure itself cheaper if it were to obtain insurance coverage on its own since the size of the JPA gives it significant purchasing power in the insurance market • Increased annual payment of $377,400 (3.23%) to Santa Clara County Fire District (SCCFD) to pay for contractual fire services. Such increases are set by contractual formula each year (established July 1, 2018 and effective until June 30, 2028) and factor in the change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI), change in Firefighter/Engineer compensation, and change in Assessed Property Valuations within Campbell. Each carries a weight of 50%, 25%, and 25%, respectively, and the total fire services contract shall increase by no less than 2% and no more than 5% annually.
• $3.4 million in interfund operating transfers out to support operations in other funds; including $1.7 million to support the Lighting and Landscaping District Fund, $100,000 to support the SLESF Fund, $815,000 to support the IT Fund, and $767,000 to pay for 2016 Lease Revenue Bond (LRB) debt service.
• $2.5 million in interfund capital transfers out to support Capital Improvement Plan Reserve (CIPR) projects; with $1.0 million set aside as the General Fund’s annual CIPR contribution towards new projects and $1.5 million for carryover CIPR projects previously approved.
• $75,000 in interfund capital transfers out to support Construction Tax projects; with the entire amount proposed to be offset by a drawdown of Construction Tax reserves,
Incorporation of several short-term corrective budget strategies on the expenditure side which will be discussed below.
Related General Fund revenue sources also total $74.1 million and include:
• $202,000 in interfund operating transfers in to support General Fund operations; including a normal $146,000 transfer from the Community Facilities District (CFD) #1 fund to support Police and Fire services, $6,000 from the CFD #2 fund to support Land Development, and $50,000 from the Motor Vehicle Pool fund to support Administrative and Fiscal Oversight of the division.
• $1.5 million draw from the accumulated CIPR funds to support $1.5 million in carryover CIPR projects previously approved.
• $75,000 draw from Construction Tax reserve to support capital projects as previously discussed.
Short-Term Corrective Budget Strategies
The following section details short-term corrective strategies included within the FY 2027 Proposed Budget prior to the May 5 Budget Study Session. All strategies continue to be recommended by staff, with added detail provided as appropriate:
Item 9.2
Tuesday, June 02, 2026 241 of 280
• Temporary Hiring Freeze - While the City’s list of vacant positions can change quickly based on regular turnover, filling of positions, and employee departures or retirements, as of this data, the City has 27 vacant positions with an estimated cost of $4.66 million in FY 2027. Since salary and benefits costs are the City’s largest expenditure category, similar to FY 2026, staff again proposes a temporary hiring freeze of various durations in FY 2027 as shown in Table 2 below for certain vacant positions not currently under recruitment or pending a placement offer; subject to City Manager discretion on critical positions that may have highly adverse operational, safety, fiscal, or other impacts to the City if not filled. Some would be frozen until January 1 or July 1, 2027, but some are recommended to be filled sooner due to the nature of their role and the services they provide the City. Such a hiring freeze saves the City approximately $1.11 million (across all City funds); with such savings already incorporated into the FY 2027 Proposed Budget:
Table 2 – Vacant Positions
Item 9.2
Tuesday, June 02, 2026 242 of 280
This action will slow some Workplan initiatives and reduce operational capacity, but it is a fiscally prudent measure given the financial challenges the City faces. Should additional funding be available within FY 2027, due to a positive and final non-appealable outcome on the Measure K litigation, unexpected increases in current City revenue sources, or unexpected decreases in planned City expenditures, the hiring freeze will be revisited.
• Limited to No Use of Temporary Staffing in FY 2027 – Similar to FY 2026, staff is again proposing limited to no use of temporary staffing in FY 2027 and this is already incorporated into the FY 2027 Proposed Budget. Due to previous hiring freezes, delayed recruitments, operational needs, and high-priority Workplan items, the City Item 9.2
Tuesday, June 02, 2026 243 of 280
previously utilized the services of temporary employees in various departments that come from staffing agencies and other professional services firms, but due to fiscal challenges, the City largely discontinued this practice in FY 2026 with exceptions being in some critical City service areas. In FY 2025 alone, these costs were estimated to reach $605,000. Given the potential of an ongoing temporary hiring freeze for permanent staffing and the City’s ongoing fiscal constraints, limiting the use of temporary staffing in FY 2027 would again be a consistent and appropriate action. However, this action will also slow some Workplan initiatives and reduce operational capacity.
At the May 5 Budget Study Session staff presented Council with an estimated $2.99 million structural operating deficit within the FY 2027 Preliminary General Fund Operating Budget.
However, based on Council feedback at the May 5 Budget Study Session, staff has now incorporated the Utilization of Available General Fund Reserves to close the remaining General Fund gap in FY 2027. After several minor adjustments since the May 5 Budget Study Session, the FY 2027 General Fund operating deficit was reduced to $2.79 million, and this is the amount staff proposes to draw from available General Fund reserves in FY 2027.
As shown in staff report presenting the FY 2025 ACFR, The General Fund’s fund balance at fiscal year-end was $26.4 million. Nonspendable fund balance at year end was $0.2 million, reserved for leases and prepaid costs. Restricted fund balance at year end was $1.7 million, comprised solely of Measure K sales tax receipts and accrued interest. Committed and Assigned fund balances at year end were $3.6 million and $2.9 million, respectively.
These balances are utilized to fund operational costs such as capital projects, compensated absences, and to maintain a reserve for PERS and OPEB related costs. An Unassigned fund balance of $18.0 million serves as an additional reserve for unanticipated needs that may arise including a $9.5 million reserve for economic fluctuations and $3.2 million for emergencies.
For Fiscal Year 2025, the City did not need to draw upon its economic fluctuation or emergency reserve. Although both the economic fluctuation and emergency reserves are below targeted levels, the City continues to maintain strong General Fund reserve balances.
The GFOA recommends, at a minimum, a General Fund unrestricted fund balance of no less than two months (or 16.67%) of General Fund operating expenditures. At the end of FY 2025, the City maintained an unassigned reserve ratio of 26.65% in the General Fund. Thus, given reserves above GFOA best practice levels, staff again recommends using up to $2.79 million to balance the remaining deficit in General Fund for FY 2027. If used at this level, the unassigned reserve ratio could drop to 22.53% but still be above GFOA best practice of
16.67%. Further uses for bargaining unit adjustments could lower this further, but staff only recommends doing so to a point that does not go below GFOA best practice. Additionally, should the City receive a favorable final outcome on Measure K, staff recommends using accumulated Measure K funds in escrow to pay back General Fund reserves used in FY 2027 in full.
All City Funds – Financial Summary
Table 3 – All Funds Summary
Item 9.2
Tuesday, June 02, 2026 244 of 280
For a more detailed Fund Balance Report, please see the Fund Summaries section of the Budget book Currently Proposed FY 2027 Operating and Capital expenditures across all City funds equal $107.3 million and include:
• $3.6 million in interfund operating transfers out to support operations, • $7.9 million in interfund capital transfers out to support capital projects, • $2.6 million in scheduled Measure O debt service payments, and • All items referenced within the General Fund section of this report.
Related revenue sources total $103.7 million and include:
• $3.6 million in interfund operating transfers in to support operations, • $7.9 million in interfund capital transfers in to support capital projects, and • All items referenced within the General Fund section of this report.
This results in an annual deficit of approximately $3.6 million across all City funds. However, this deficit is largely due to grant funded projects which receive reimbursement after expenditures have been incurred, further spend down of Measure O bond proceeds as both the Public Safety building and Library projects near completion.
In summary, across all City funds, expenditures for FY 2027 show a 26.5% decrease when compared to FY 2026 Year-End Estimates of $145.9 million. This decrease is largely due to most Measure O bond proceeds being spent in FY 2025 and FY 2026 to complete the associated Library and Police building projects. Operating Expenses though only show a
3.7% decrease when compared to FY 2026 Year-End Estimates of $96.9 million. Conversely, across all City funds, revenues for FY 2027 show a 6.3% decrease when compared to FY 2026 Year-End Estimates of $110.7 million. This decrease is largely due to slowed growth in several revenue categories and the full recognizing of grant and other misc. one-time revenue related to Measure O projects in FY 2025 and FY 2026.
General Fund and Citywide revenue estimates and proposed expenditures by type and department are shown in the Fund Summaries and Departments sections of the Budget Book.
And for more information on the assumptions used to estimate key revenues and other significant items of note, please see the Funding Sources sections of the Budget Book.

B - ECONOMIC UPDATE AND OUTLOOK
National Economy
The U.S. economy continues to display resilience in the face of challenges, with growth moderating during late 2025 due to the federal government shutdown but rebounding modestly in early 2026. According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the third estimate for Q1 2026 shows real GDP rising at an annual rate of 1.2%, up from the 0.7% recorded in Q4 2025. For the 12-month period ending in March 2026, GDP growth stands at 2.3%. Consumer spending remains the backbone of growth, bolstered by private investment and a notable uptick in service sector activity.
Inflation remains contained: April 2026’s Consumer Price Index rose 0.2% month-over-month and 2.1% year-over-year, marking a slight deceleration from previous months. The labor market continues to show signs of cooling, with nonfarm payrolls declining by 42,000 in April 2026 and the unemployment rate rising to 4.5%. Wage growth has slowed, but job openings remain elevated in healthcare and technology. Consumer confidence rebounded slightly in May, with the University of Michigan index at 56.3, reflecting improved sentiment following easing global tensions and lower gas prices.
Manufacturing momentum persists: the ISM Manufacturing PMI for April 2026 registered
52.7, indicating continued expansion. New orders and production strengthened, although employment remains soft. Housing continues its gradual recovery, with existing-home sales up 2.0% month-over-month in April to a 4.18 million annualized rate. The median price nationally reached $401,000 (+0.5% year-over-year). AI-driven investment and digital transformation remain key themes supporting longer-term optimism.
California Economy
California’s economy remains a national leader, but faces persistent challenges in unemployment and housing affordability. Q1 2026 state GDP grew at an annualized rate of
3.8% (latest BEA release), with the information and biotech sectors driving gains. The statewide unemployment rate edged up to 5.7% in April 2026, reflecting ongoing softness in construction and professional services. Job growth was strongest in education/health and leisure/hospitality.
Housing activity is robust but price growth has slowed. The median existing single-family home price declined further to $845,500 in April 2026 (–0.6% year-over-year). Sales volume expanded by 3% and building permits for new units totaled 108,400 year-to-date (+1.2% yearover-year). California’s tech sector remains strong, but the state is watching for potential impacts from federal policy on energy costs and investment due to international developments.
Santa Clara County Economy
Santa Clara County (Silicon Valley) continues to outperform the state and nation, thanks to its dominant technology sector. The unemployment rate for the San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara MSA was 4.1% in April 2026, holding near historic lows and well below California’s average. Regional employment has stabilized, with tech and professional services leading job gains. Housing markets remain competitive, with strong demand keeping prices elevated.
Ongoing innovation and investment in artificial intelligence and clean energy position the county well for sustained moderate growth.
Item 9.2
Tuesday, June 02, 2026 246 of 280
City of Campbell Economy
Campbell’s economy is tightly linked to Santa Clara County’s tech ecosystem and maintains a stable outlook with high asset values. As of April 2026, Redfin reports a median home sale price of $1.725 million (–11.2% year-over-year), while Zillow averages $1.979 million (+2.2% year-over-year). Homes are selling in approximately 19 days, faster than earlier in the year, and sales volume increased to 24 transactions (+14% year-over-year). Campbell’s fiscal health remains strong, but local officials remain vigilant regarding potential budget pressures and shifts in federal energy policy.
As of May 2026, Campbell’s unemployment rate stands at 3.8% (EDD preliminary estimate), down from 4.0% in April 2026 and notably lower than the 4.3% recorded in May 2025. This improvement reflects the city’s robust employment landscape, especially in technology and professional services, and outpaces both statewide and national averages. The decrease from the prior month signals ongoing recovery and resilience, while the year-over-year decline underscores Campbell’s strong local job market.
C - LONG-RANGE FORECAST
The First Update of the Seven-Year Financial Forecast is shown and discussed in more detail in a separate section of this Budget book called “Long-Range Financial Forecast”. The forecast is meant to assist Council and staff in determining whether current expenditure decisions made in FY 2027 can be supported long-term over through FY 2033. While all budgetary requests can be supported by the General Fund and short-term corrective actions in FY 2027, based on staff’s initial analysis and reasonable growth projections in expenditure and revenues, the out years could be a challenge given the City’s structural deficit issues absent significant ongoing expenditure and service reductions, new revenue sources, and/or a positive legal outcome on the Measure K Sales Tax measure.
D - BUDGET AND FINANCIAL AWARDS
For the 33rd consecutive year, the City's FY 2026 budget received national recognition by earning the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) “Distinguished Budget Award.” To receive the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award, a city must publish a budget document that serves as a policy document, a financial plan, a communications device, and an operations guide. We believe the FY 2027 budget conforms to GFOA program requirements. Additionally, FY 2026 is the 28th year an award of “Excellence in Budgeting” has been received from the California Society of Municipal Finance Officers (CSMFO). Copies of both awards appear in the Budget “Reference Materials” section of this document. It also should be noted that the City’s Annual Financial Report has also been an award-winning document for excellence in financial reporting at both the State and national levels for many years.
E - NEXT STEPS
• June 16: Adoption of Operating Budget, CIP, and Gann Limit
F - CONCLUSION AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
The development of the Proposed Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 Operating Budget and 2027 - 2031 FiveYear Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) was made possible through the knowledge and contribution of the City’s employees, input and support from our community, and direction of the City Council.
Despite the economic pressures of the past few years, the City has done well to preserve core Item 9.2
Tuesday, June 02, 2026 247 of 280
services, but as the budget and CIP before you demonstrate, the City continues to face significant fiscal challenges in the short- and long-term and remains cautious, conservative, and strategic in our operational growth to ensure long-term fiscal resilience.
I wish to thank everyone who participated in the budget process this year including the City Council and members of the Executive Team. Finally, I would like to recognize the staff within the Finance Department for their dedication and hard work that went into coordinating, developing, and publishing this budget document.
