BAC
KGROUND
On April 28, 2017, the Governor Signed into law Senate Bill (SB) 1, which is known as the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017. SB1 legislation increased the per-gallon fuel excise taxes ($0.12 per gallon), as well as increased diesel fuel sales taxes and vehicle registration fees. The use of SB 1 funds - focus on using the new funds for basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety projects on both the State Highway and local streets and roads system. Jurisdictions and agencies that receive SB 1 funding are required to report back to the California Transportation Commission (CTC) on how those funds are to be expensed or how they were expensed, this required reporting is done on an annual basis.
On November 1, 2017, the State Controller (Controller) began to deposit various portions of this new funding into the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA). Although the exact amount has not been determined by the Controller for Fiscal Year 2026-27, the Town of Colma’s RMRA apportionment will include an estimated $41,583 in funds that will be expensed per SB 1 Accountability and Transparency Guidelines, adopted on March 21, 2018.
AGENDA ITEM #2
Staff Report – 2026-27 RMRA Project List Page 2 of 3
ANALYSIS
The Town of Colma must submit to the California Transportation Commission (CTC) a list of projects to be funded with RMRA funds. To simplify the reporting and administration of the RMRA funds, the proposed Project List consists of adding the RMRA funds to various maintenance activities on portions of Serramonte Boulevard, Colma Boulevard, Collins Avenue, and Junipero Serra Boulevard. This programmed maintenance work is to take place during FY 2026-27.
The proposed Project List for Senate Bill 1 (SB1) Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) funds for FY 2026-27 is a re-listing of the projects previously adopted by the City Council.
No new projects have been added or removed from this list. This will allow the projects to utilize the FY 2026-27 RMRA apportionment.
If approved by the City Council, the adoption of the project list will appropriate $41,583 in SB 1 to Serramonte Boulevard, Colma Boulevard, Collins Avenue, and Junipero Serra Boulevard for various roadway maintenance needs. If approved, Town Staff by way of a Resolution, will provide the annual RMRA project list and expenditure reporting to the CTC.
Detailed Description of the Project/Bid
Requirements have been imposed by the State as part of the State Gas Taxes that began collection on November 1, 2017. In order to receive an allocation of the Gas Tax revenue, a list of proposed projects to be funded with SB 1 funds must be adopted. For Fiscal Year 2026-27 the Town is projected to receive $41,583 revenue in gas tax revenue and is included in the proposed budget (See attachment “C”). The Town is also required to demonstrate that the revenue and expenditures are included in the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Annual Budget. The FY 2026- 27 SB 1 funds are programed for various roadway maintenance activities on Serramonte Boulevard, Colma Boulevard, Collins Avenue, and Junipero Serra Boulevard, to be implemented during FY 2026-27.
FISCAL IMPACT
The 2026-27 Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) allocation of $41,583 will be programmed for roadway maintenance activities on Serramonte Boulevard, Colma Boulevard, Collins Avenue, and Junipero Serra Boulevard.
ENVIRONMENTAL
The City Council’s adoption of the resolution is exempt from environmental review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per CEQA Guideline 15378(b)(4) as a governmental fiscal activity. It is also exempt on an independent basis pursuant to CEQA Guideline 15301 as an action providing funding for the maintenance of an existing street.
ALTERNATIVES
The recommended actions are a requirement of the State program implementing the tracking of expenditures for the Gas Tax increase adopted by the State Legislature. If the action is not taken prior to July 1, 2026, the Town could potentially lose the estimated RMRA Gas Tax Funds for Fiscal Year 2026-27.

TO: M
ayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Dan Barros, City Manager
MEETING DATE: May 13, 2026
SUBJECT: Rescind Resolution 2026-01 Regarding Commemorative Flag Displays
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the following:
RESOLUTION RESCINDING RESOLUTION NO. 2026-01 TO ELIMINATE CERTAIN FLAGS FROM BEING FLOWN AND DIRECTING STAFF TO RAISE THE LGBTQ+/PRIDE FLAG
ANNUALLY ON THE FIRST WEDNESDAY IN JUNE UNTIL THE END OF THE MONTH PURSUANT TO CEQA GUIDELINES SECTIONS 15301 AND 15378
COUNCIL ADOPTED VALUES
• Inclusivity and Respect: Building trust to foster an inclusive, supportive, and open environment.
• Responsibility: Making decisions by taking long-range consequences into consideration, including potential social impacts of government expression.
BAC
KGROUND
On June 26, 2019, the City Council adopted a flag policy (Administrative Code Subchapter 1.18) establishing that Town Flag Poles are nonpublic forums intended for government expression rather than public free expression. Currently, the policy allows for the display of:
• The Flag of the United States of America
• The Flag of the State of California
• The Flag of the Town of Colma
• Commemorative Flags as authorized by Council resolution.
Per
established practice, the City Council adopts an annual resolution every January to direct staff on when to fly commemorative flags through the calendar year.
AGENDA ITEM #3
Staff Report Rescinding Resolution No. 2026-01 – Flag Policy Page 2 of 2
ANALYSIS
In recent weeks, scheduled events for the Israeli Flag Raising and the Mexican Flag Raising were canceled by the City Manager, in consultation with the Mayor, due to significant public safety concerns. The Town received multiple written protests and notifications from organized groups indicating that hundreds of protestors would attend the Israeli Flag Raising event. To ensure public safety, the city leadership made the decision to cancel the event.
During the April 22, 2026 City Council meeting, Mayor Slaughter requested that the flag policy be agendized for council discussion. Because this policy discussion was pending, City Manager Barros canceled the scheduled Mexican Flag Raising to prevent further civic conflict.
On May 13, 2026, the City Council held a Study Session to review Subchapter 1.18 of the Administrative Code regarding Commemorative Flag Displays. Following discussion , the Council directed staff to amend the prior adopted resolution eliminating all flags associated with foreign governments and only to fly the LGBTQ+/Pride Flag. The LGBTQ+/Pride Flag will be raised annually on the first Wednesday in June and will remain flown throughout the entire month of June.
FISCAL IMPACT
Commemorative flag events cost the Town between $500 and $1,500 annually.
Rescinding Resolution No. 2026-01 and limiting activities to one annual flag raising will lower program expenses. This consolidation also optimizes resource allocation by redirecting staff hours toward core Town services.
ENVIRONMENTAL
This is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines section 15378, as it is an administrative activity that will not result in a physical change to the environment. This action is also not subject to CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guideline 15301 as the operation of existing public facilities including the Town’s flagpoles.
CONCLUSION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the resolution.

FROM: Dan Barros, City Manager
Christopher J. Diaz, City Attorney
MEETING DATE: May 27, 2026
SUBJECT: San Mateo County Animal Control Agreement Amendment
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the following:
R
ESOLUTION APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE AN AMENDMENT TO THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COUNTY OF SAN MATEO AND 20
CITIES IN THE COUNTY FOR THE CONTINUED PROVISION OF ANIMAL CONTROL SERVICES FOR AN ADDITIONAL THREE YEAR TERM BEGINNING ON JULY 1, 2026.
C
OUNCIL ADOPTED VALUES
• Fairness and Equity
• Responsibility
BACKGROUND
Animal control has been one of the longest running regional/shared services in San Mateo County. Since 1952, the County has contracted with the Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA (PHS) for animal control field and sheltering service. All 20 cities in the County have in turn contracted with the County for these services. Historically, cities have taken advantage of the economies of pooling resources in order to realize lower costs for services than each city could likely achieve by providing its own services.
P
HS provides animal control services in a County-owned 45,000 square foot building at 12 Airport Boulevard in San Mateo. The mandated animal control service functions, which occur at the Airport Boulevard facility, include: receiving and housing stray animals; serving as the location for the public when looking for lost pets or surrendering animals; sheltering animals; spay/neuter clinic; and, vaccination clinic. For public convenience, licensing, micro-chipping, veterinary care and animal behavior work, and field services staff are at this location and respond to calls for service in the community.
AGENDA ITEM #4
Staff Report re Animal Control Agreement Amendment Page 2 of 5 On January 5, 2021, the County released a request for proposals to 71 organizations for an Animal Care, Control and Shelter Services Contractor serving San Mateo County. Two contractors submitted proposals on February 18, 2021 (Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA and Partners in Animal Care & Compassion/Pets in Need).
On March 4, 2021, a review committee composed of nine reviewers including a Deputy County Manager, a San Mateo County Fiscal Officer, five reviewers from various San Mateo County cities, and subject matter experts from Los Angeles and San Bernardino evaluated the proposals. The evaluation determined that both proposals were acceptable; however, Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA (PHS) scored higher overall.
Contract negotiations with PHS began on March 24, 2026. The negotiating team included the County Manager, County Counsel, the County Animal Control Manager, and six city representatives. Negotiations were amicably concluded on April 3, 2026 with the following agreements noted below in the Analysis section.
ANALYSIS
Animal Control services provided by PHS by contract will conclude on June 30, 2026, however there is a clause in the contract that reads as follows:
1. Term
Except as otherwise provided herein, and subject to compliance with all terms and conditions, the term of this Agreement shall be from July 1, 2021, through June 30, 2026. The parties may extend the term for an additional three years if the parties mutuall y agree in writing. This Agreement becomes effective only after all jurisdictions identified on Exhibit D as Participating Cities adopt it by entering into the agreement for animal control services between the County and participating cities. If such County/Services Agreement is not adopted by all jurisdictions shown on Exhibit D, this Services Agreement is null and void in its entirety unless Contractor and any of the jurisdictions shown on Exhibit D agree to use it as the basis for a Services Agreement applicable to those parties providing such written consent, with such changes in payment, scope of service, and other terms as the parties may agree.
The County has met with the President of PHS and both parties agree to extend the Animal Care and Control Services contract for another three years until June 30, 2029.
As the council will recall, the PHS contract was developed in concept and reviewed by a working group of County managers, City Managers, and other interested city participants (e.g., personnel from some Police Departments). The San Mateo County City Managers Association (SMCCMA) has also established a standing committee to do an in-depth review of the contract, performance audits, cost sharing formulas, and strategic direction for provision of countywide animal control services. The SMCCMA committee was directly involved with the County during contract Staff Report re Animal Control Agreement Amendment Page 3 of 5 negotiations and had a seat at the table with PHS and the County hammering out the final outcome.
The contract has performed effectively, providing the cities with reliable animal control services and significantly reducing the number of complaints compared to previous years.
Provisions of the Amendment:
Only a few modifications have been made to the agreement, as outlined below:
4.1.a The County will pay Animal Control Contractor the following agreed-to amounts.
These costs are to be reimbursed by the Cities as provided in Section 3.7 above.
Fiscal Year Amount
2021-22 $6,189,290.95
2022-23 $6,327,480.28
2023-24 $6,499,455.67
2024-25 $6,674,024.00
2025-26 $6,858,739.01
2026-27 $7,037,138.11
2027-28 $7,220,177.44
2028-29 $7,407,977.72
This is less than a 3% increase a year for the contracted animal control services and this cost will be passed onto our city.
Section 4 County Responsibilities under 4.1 of the agreement are amended to read as follows:
4.1.b The County will pay Animal Licensing Contractor the following agreed-to amounts.
These costs are to be reimbursed by the Cities as provided in Section 3.7 above (the table in 4.2 includes the payment for the contract PetData for approximately $1,096,827 for five years, which is $219,365 yearly and which will end on June 30, 2027).
Current Contract
2022-2027
Amount
One year license $4.28 per license
Multi-year license $4.28 for the first year and $2 for each additional year
Late fees collected $2.50 collection service fee for each license Replacement tags $4.28 per tag
Bank and supply fees Actual cost
Staff Report re Animal Control Agreement Amendment Page 4 of 5 Section 4 County Responsibilities under 4.2 of the agreement is amended to read as follows:
4.2 The County shall provide the administrative services as outlined in this Agreement for the following estimated amounts to be charged to and paid by the Cities. Costs may vary as labor negotiations and internal service charges are negotiated at a Countywide level. Cities will only be invoiced for the actual costs to provide said services as outlined in this Agreement and are to be reimbursed by the Cities as provided in Section 3.7 above.
Fiscal Year Amount
2021-22 $790,835
2022-23 $790,375
2023-24 $814,086
2024-25 $822,227
2025-26 $846,894
2026-27 $872,301
2027-28 $898,470
2028-29 $925,424
Section 4 County Responsibilities under 4.3.j has been removed from the agreement.
This section was to arrange a performance audit or fiscal assessment of the Animal Control Contractor PHS. The county released an RFP in January to find a vendor to perform an audit of PHS and felt that it would not be fiscally responsible to turn around within three years and conduct another audit within three years and would wait until the new contract in 2027 and write it into the new contract. This is the reason for removal.
Section 5 General Provisions under 5.8 Term and Termination of the agreement is amended to read as follows:
5.8 Term and Termination. Subject to compliance with all terms and conditions, the term of this Agreement shall be from July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2029.
FISCAL IMPACT
Colma's portion of the contract cost is determined by the number of the Town's residents that apply for or renew their animal licenses. The estimated cost to Colma for FY 2026-27 is $30,000, which is a 7.1% increase over the FY 2025-26 budget of $28,022. An annual 3% increase for FY 2027-28 and FY 2028-29 would cost the Town an additional $2,727 over the final two years of the current San Mateo County contract.

ST
AFF REPORT
TO
: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Christopher J. Diaz, City Attorney
Michelle Estabillo, City Clerk
VIA: Dan Barros, City Manager
MEETING DATE: May 27, 2026
SUBJECT: Adoption of Disruption Policy Under Senate Bill 707
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the following:
RESOLUTION ADOPTING A POLICY ON DISRUPTION OF TELEPHONIC OR INTERNET SERVICE DURING PUBLIC MEETINGS IN ACCORDANCE WITH SENATE BILL 707
COUNCIL ADOPTED VALUES
Th
e City Council’s adoption of the resolution is consistent with the value of responsibility as it will ensure the Town is in compliance with Senate Bill 707 as the requirement to adopt a disruption policy is required by state law. It is also consistent with the value of honesty and
integrity as it will ensure the public has a clear understanding of when a disruption occurs in a public meeting and how the Town will handle that disruption.
BAC
KGROUND
The Ralph M. Brown Act (Government Code section 54950 et seq .) imposes open meeting requirements on local legislative bodies. In 2025, the Legislature adopted Senate Bill 707 (“SB 707”), which reorganizes, clarifies, and updates various Brown Act provisions, including those governing teleconferencing, remote public participation, and meeting procedures.
SB 707 applies to all legislative bodies as defined by the Brown Act, but certain special provisions apply only to what is now defined in the Brown Act as “eligible legislative bodies.” The Colma City Council (but not other boards, commissions, or committees of the Town) qualifies as an “eligible legislative body” because the City Council governs a Town located in San Mateo County, a County with a population of more than 600,000 people. See, Cal. Gov. Code 54953.4(e)(2)(C)(defining “eligible legislative body” to include a city council of a city located in a county with a population of 600,000 or more).
AGENDA ITEM #5
Staff Report - Disruption Policy Page 2 of 4
25977.00100\45024781.1
Among other things, starting July 1, 2026, SB 707 requires Brown Act meetings for “eligible legislative bodies” (in this case, only the City Council) to follow specific requirements for providing remote access to public participants in Council meetings via two-way audiovisual platforms or two-way telephonic services; captioning when using audiovisual platforms; and expanded accessibility and translation for notices and websites. In short, state law now requires that the Town allow the public to attend and comment at Council meetings via Zoom. As you know, the Town stopped allowing the public from providing public comment via Zoom, but based on the requirements of SB 707, the Town is now required to re-allow the public to comment via Zoom.
ANALYSIS
Requirement to Adopt a Policy for Service Disruptions for Remote Meeting Participants A key aspect of SB 707 is that eligible legislative bodies are required, on or before July 1, 2026, to adopt a policy governing disruption of telephonic and internet service for remote participants.
Such a policy must be adopted by a separate majority vote (i.e. not on the consent calendar) of the eligible legislative body in an open session.
SB 707 sets specific requirements that must be contained within that policy. It must contain procedures for recessing and reconvening a meeting in the event of disruption. It must also specify the efforts that the eligible legislative body shall make to at tempt to restore the service for persons participating remotely in the meeting.
These requirements include recessing the open session and making a good faith attempt to restore the service if a disruption of telephonic or internet services occurs that prevents the public from attending or observing the meeting. The policy must also prohibit the legislative body from reconvening the open session of the meeting until at least one hour following the disruption, or until telephonic or internet service is restored, whichever is earlier.
Additionally, if telephonic or internet service cannot be restored, the eligible legislative body may reconvene the open session provided it adopts a finding by rollcall vote that good faith efforts to restore the telephonic or internet service have been made in accordance with its SB 707 policy and the public interest in continuing the meeting outweighs the public interest in remote public access.
These requirements do not apply to certain specified types of meetings, including meetings held offsite or for inspection purposes, or in emergency situations. The attached policy lists those exemptions.
Disruptions Caused by Participants
While not required under SB 707, the attached Policy on Disruption of Telephonic or Internet Services also includes a section with guidance to the City Council and Staff in the event of an intentional disruption to a meeting caused by a remote public participant or group of participants.
While the Town can respond when in- person or remote participants actually disrupt a public meeting, the First Amendment and Brown Act rights of public participants must also be respected, even if that speech is offensive. Therefore, it is beneficial for lo cal legislative bodies to have Staff Report - Disruption Policy Page 3 of 4
25977.00100\45024781.1
written guidance about how and when to respond. Written guidance can empower the Mayor, Councilmembers and Staff to address such disruptions in an effective and lawful manner.
Recognizing the core First Amendment right to petition the government, City Council meetings are considered “limited public forums.”
1 In these situations, the government can only impose
reasonable time, place and manner regulations that are (i) content neutral; (ii) narrowly tailored to serve a significant government interest; and (iii) leave open alternative channels of communication. Examples of permissible regulations would be (1) requirements that public comment be within the subject matter jurisdiction of the City Council (i.e., not criticizing federal foreign policy) or (2) time limitations on speakers. However, other restrictions on the content of speech are not permitted. This would include prohibiting profane or even slanderous comments. (
Norse v. City of Santa Cruz (9th Cir. 2010) 629 F.3d 966 [city cannot prohibit Nazi salute at public meeting]; see also Gov. Code, § 54594.3(c) [Board cannot “prohibit public criticism of the policies, procedures, programs, or services” of the Town or City Council].) These broad free speech protections do have limits. Speakers cannot use public comment to actually disrupt the meeting or otherwise interfere with the conduct of Town business. Based on this, the key to regulating speech at public meetings is to regulate disruptive behavior rather than the content of the speech.
The attached policy provides that in the event of an actual disruption, after a first verbal warning from the Presiding Officer or the City Clerk, a disruptive remote public participant may have their microphone muted, have their video switched off, or be removed entirely from the meeting either as a last resort or because stopping the video or muting the participant is not available on the service being used. The policy also defines an actual disruption in accordance with relevant laws, so that the Presiding Officer and Staff can distinguish between protected First Amendment speech and a disruption.
F
ISCAL IMPACT
The City Council’s adoption of the resolution adopting a disruption policy is not anticipated to cause any financial impacts other than with staff time preparing and implementing the policy.
Town staff previously updated the technology in the Council Chambers to allow for Zoom during public meetings.
ENVIRONMENTAL
The City Council’s adoption of the resolution is exempt from environmental review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under CEQA Guideline 15378 as it is more akin to general policy and procedure making without any change in the environment.
ALTERNATIVES
The City Council could choose not to adopt the policy. This option is not recommended because the requirement to adopt a disruption policy is required by state law. 1 White v. City of Norwalk (9th Cir. 1990) 900 F.2d 1421, 1425 Staff Report - Disruption Policy Page 4 of 4
25977.00100\45024781.1
The City Council could also choose to request changes to the policy. Any changes will need to be carefully considered as the content of the policy is based on the requirements included in state law.
CONCLUSION
The City Council should adopt the resolution to adopt a disruption policy.

Policy: Disruption of Telephonic or Internet Service During Public Meetings
1. Background
Senate Bill 707 (2025) amended the Brown Act to require eligible legislative bodies to adopt, on or before July 1, 2026, a policy addressing how the agency will respond to disruptions in telephonic or internet service that prevent members of the public fro m participating remotely.
2. Purpose
This policy establishes procedures for responding to a disruption in the telephonic or internet services that provide two -way remote public access to meetings of the City Council of the Town of Colma, as required by the Brown Act (Government Code section 54953.4). The policy ensures transparency, public participation, and the continuation of meetings during technological disruptions.
3. Definitions
“Service Disruption” means any failure, outage, or other interruption to the agency’s remote access services that prevents members of the public from participating in a City Council meeting through the remote access service.
“Disrupting” means engaging in behavior during a meeting of the City Council that actually disrupts, disturbs, impedes, or renders infeasible the orderly conduct of the meeting and includes, but is not limited to one of the following:
a. A failure to comply with reasonable and lawful regulations adopted by the City Council of the Town of Colma.
b. Engaging in behavior that constitutes use of force or a true threat of force. “Remote access services” means the two -way telephonic service and/or two -way audiovisual platform used to provide real-time remote public attendance and observation of meetings.
“Two-way audiovisual platform” means an online platform that provides participants with the ability to participate in a meeting via both an interactive video conference and a two- way telephonic service.
“Two-way telephonic service” means a telephone service that does not require internet access and allows participants to dial a telephone number to listen and verbally participate.
EXHIBIT A
25977.00100\44872037.1
“True threat of force” means a threat that has sufficient indicia of intent and seriousness, that a reasonable observer would perceive it to be an actual threat to use force by the person making the threat.
4. Applicability
This policy applies to all open and public meetings of the City Council at which remote public participation is required under the Brown Act. Consistent with the Brown Act, this policy shall not apply to the following meetings:
a. Meetings held to attend a judicial or administrative proceeding to which the Town is a party.
b. Meetings held to inspect real or personal property provided that the topic of the meeting is limited to items directly related to the real or personal property. c.

Meetings held to meet in or nearby a facility owned by the Town of Colma, provided that the topic of the meeting is limited to items directly related to the facility.
e. Meetings held in an emergency situation pursuant to Government Code section 54956.5.
5. Remote Public Access Generally
When remote public access is required under the Brown Act, the City Council shall provide members of the public with an opportunity to attend and participate in the meeting using a two-way audiovisual platform or a two-way telephonic service, provided that adequate telephonic or internet service is operational at the meeting location.
If adequate telephonic or internet service is not operational at the meeting location, t he City Council shall not be re quired to provide remote access. If adequate telephonic or internet service is operational for only a portion of the meeting, the City Council shall provide remote access during that portion of the meeting.
If a two-way audiovisual platform is used, the City Council shall:
a. Publicly post and provide a call-in option as well; and b. Activate any automatic captioning function that is available in the audiovisual platform.
EXHIBIT A
25977.00100\44872037.1
If a two-way audiovisual platform is not provided, the City Council shall provide a two - way telephonic service.
Members of the public participating remotely shall be provided the same opportunity to provide public comment as members of the public attending in person, including the same time allotment.
6. Response to Service Disruption
If the Mayor or City Clerk becomes aware of a service disruption:
a. The Mayor or City Clerk shall immediately announce the service disruption to the public.
b. The Mayor shall call for a recess of the open session and may convene the legislative body in an authorized closed session, consistent with the Brown Act.
The recess shall last for one hour or until service is restored, whichever is earlier. c. During the recess, Town staff shall make a good faith effort to diagnose and restore the disrupted service.
7. Reconvening the Open Session

a. Adjourn the meeting;
b. Extend the recess to allow staff more time to make a good faith effort to restore remote access services; or
c. Continue the open session portion of the meeting by adopting, by roll call vote, the following or a substantially similar finding:
“The Town of Colma has made good faith efforts to restore telephonic or internet service in accordance with its adopted policy, and the public interest in continuing the meeting outweighs the public interest in remote public access.” Upon adoption of the finding, the City Council may continue the open session portion of the meeting despite the fact that remote access services have not been restored.
8. Recordkeeping
The City Clerk shall enter a brief statement into the meeting minutes, including:
• The nature and time of the service disruption;
EXHIBIT A
25977.00100\44872037.1
• The time the meeting was reconvened (if applicable);
• Any finding adopted pursuant to Section 7.
9. Response to Members of the Public Disrupting a Meeting If the Mayor or City Clerk becomes aware of a member of the public who is attending the meeting through remote access services and is disrupting the meeting or otherwise preventing other members of the public from attending or observing the meeting remotely or in-person:
a. The Mayor or City Clerk shall warn the person who is participating through remote access services that he or she is disrupting the meeting and his or her failure to cease that behavior may result in his or her removal.
b. If the person to whom the Mayor or City Clerk gave the above warning persists in disrupting the meeting, the Mayor shall order staff to:
i. mute or otherwise limit the individual’s ability to disrupt the meeting, while allowing the individual to continue to observe and attend the meeting; or ii. remove the individual from the meeting if paragraph (a) does not address the disrupting behavior or if muting the speaker is not available using the remote access service.

MEETING DATE: May 27, 2026
SUBJECT: FY 2026-27 City Manager’s Proposed CIP Budget
RECOMMENDATION
This item is a study session for informational purposes only. No City Council action is required; however, staff seeks City Council direction in preparing the FY 2026-27 Capital Budget for adoption in June 2026.
COUNCIL ADOPTED VALUES
The
staff recommendation is consistent with the Council adopted values of:
• Responsibility: Making decisions after prudent consideration of their financial impact, considering the long-term financial needs of the agency, especially its financial stability. • Fairness: Support the public’s right to know and promote meaningful public involvement.
BACKGROUND
The budget is an annual planning tool that communicates priorities and sets the Town’s operating and spending policy for the year. The City Manager is responsible for presenting a budget to the City Council according to Colma Administrative Code Section 4.01.030. The financial objective of the budget is to ensure that there are sufficient funds to meet ongoing spending. Special projects and Capital programs, where spending is generally one -time in nature, typically can utilize reserves.
ANALYSIS
For Fiscal Year 2026-27, the primary focus in the CIP will be to complete existing capital projects for closeout. Only one new project is proposed, the IT Systems Assessment, which is intended to provide a thorough accounting of all IT hardware and software systems in the Town, their useful life, and the replacement cycle.
Staff ar
e proposing that the following amounts be appropriated for CIP projects in FY 2026-27.
The General Fund transfer for capital projects would be $1,497,164.

C
hanges From FY 2025-29 CIP Budget
St
aff are proposing some updates to the forecasted FY 2025-29 CIP Budget, including adjustments to the following projects:
- Equipment Reserve (984) – This project is proposed to become an ongoing funding reserve of $500,000 for electrical, HVAC, and other facility systems that require large scale maintenance updates, or when a system requires work prior to scheduled replacements or upgrades.
- Solid Waste Franchise Agreement Update (992) – Addition of $175,000 in FY 2 026-27 for a scope change that includes hiring a consultant to conduct a new Request for Proposals (RFP) for waste haulers and conduct community outreach. - HVAC System Upgrade at the Police Department (943) – Addition of $100,000 in FY 2026-27 for plans, specifications, and estimates. The planned FY 2027-28 budget remains at $1,250,000.
- Annual Roadway Rehabilitation and Preventative Maintenance Program (906) – Reduce FY 2026-27 Budget to $121,000 from $225,000, funded from the Gas Tax Fund, Measure A Fund, and Measure W Fund. Future years remain unchanged and will be funded jointly by dedicated transportation funding sources and the General Fund. - Sterling Park Recreation Center – New Furnace (948) – Addition of $54,679 in grant funding for FY 2026-27 from Peninsula Clean Energy (PCE, soon to be Westlight Staff Report re FY 2026-27 CIP Budget Page 4 of 6
Energy) to cover the remainder of the cost of transitioning this facility to a fully electric HVAC system.
- Community Center Painting (960) – Move the $100,000 budget for the Community Center Painting project from FY 2026-27 to FY 2027-28.
- C orp Yard Car Wash (954) – Remove this project and the $220,000 in FY 2027-28 from the budget, due to project feasibility and constraints. - Solar Panel Backup Battery Install at CCC (946) – The FY 2025-29 CIP Budget included $300,000 in FY 2026-27 for this project; staff are pausing this project to study options and determine the Town’s future course of action. - Police Drone Program (985) – The FY 2025-29 CIP Budget included $100,000 per year for this project during the four (4) year CIP budget. This project has been moved to the operating budget during the Axon contract approval process in September 2025, and will be funded through the General Fund Operating budget in the future. - Urban Tree Master Plan & Program (998) – The FY 2025-29 CIP Budget included $200,000 per year for the Urban Tree Master Plan & Program. That funding is no longer being requested with the FY 2026-31 Proposed CIP Budget, as Town staff are currently utilizing the existing CIP funding, and will move future maintenance funding to the operating budget.
- Branding & Marketing (959) – The FY 2025-29 CIP Budget included $100,000 per year for Branding & Marketing. Staff are utilizing the existing funding and will request further funding as needed in the future.
- Town IT Infrastructure Upgrades (986) – Town staff are requesting an additional $28,200 in FY 2026-27 funding to cover replacement of additional infrastructure and increasing the baseline request from FY 2027-28 through FY 2030-31 to cover increased hardware costs and build reserves for large future projects, such as server, firewall, and network switch replacement.
- Artificial Turf at the Colma Community Center and Sterling Park (TBD) – Project was not previously included in the FY 2026-27 City Manager’s Proposed Budget, but was mentioned as a future need during the presentation of the FY 2025-26 Proposed CIP Budget. Staff have included it for consideration as part of the FY 2026-27 Proposed CIP Budget. The anticipated project budget to replace the grass at the Colma Co
mmunity Center and Sterling Park is $400,000 in FY 2026-27.

• Co
rporate Yard Car Wash
• Police Drone Program
• Lawndale and El Camino Median Improvements
Staff Report re FY 2026-27 CIP Budget Page 5 of 6
St
aff are recommending the following projects for close out:

F
ISCAL IMPACT
City Council review and direction on the FY 2026-27 proposed budget and financial plan will not impact the current FY 2025-26 budget. Only projects listed in the FY 2026-27 Capital Improvement Plan budget will be included in the FY 2026-31 Capital Improvement Plan budget.
Projects listed for future years will be reviewed during that year’s budget process. Moving projects between fiscal years will have an impact on the year they are moved from and moved to.
If Council approves the CIP budget as presented in the study session, the FY 2026-27 capital transfer from the General Fund would total $1,497,164 and reduce the current General Fund surplus by $400,000. For FY 2027-28 through FY 2030-31, the cumulative capital program transfer would be approximately $2.0 million, assuming consistent transportation funding for the Annual Roadway Rehabilitation program. Alternate uses for these funds include funding for future projects, reducing the unfunded PERS liability, or other uses determined necessary by the City Council and City Manager.
Staff Report re FY 2026-27 CIP Budget Page 6 of 6
ENVIRONMENTAL
The City Council’s adoption of the resolution is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Guideline 15378 as it is more akin to a governmental fiscal activity without any commitment to any specific project.
ALTERNATIVES
In addition to providing feedback on the items listed under Proposed Increases and Other Discussion Matters, the City Council may provide direction to staff on budgetary items to add or be removed.
CONCLUSION
Staff is requesting comment from the City Council and the public on the FY 2026-27 Proposed CIP Budget, including the addition of the Artificial Turf at the Colma Community Center and Sterling Park project. A public hearing to adopt the FY 2026-27 Proposed Budget will be held on June 10, 2026.

FY 2026-27 Capital Project Descriptions
Li
ghting District Transfer Project – Amended Budget
The C
olma Lighting District (District) is owned and operated by the San Mateo County Lighting District. It has been the Town’s desire to take over the Street lights in the Town that are currently owned and operated by the district. The district is able to fund operation and maintenance, (O & M) through pro perty tax. The Colma Lighting District also has substantial reserves in holding to assist in supporting ongoing O & M costs.
This study will explore a couple of option:
1. The Tow
n would pursue ownership of their portion of the lighting district only if the annual property tax review would come back to the Town and their portion of the reserves would be granted over to serve as seed money support the Street light system.
2. If ownership is not attainable, the Town could pursue an agreement with the District whereas the Town would assume all O & M of the street’s lights, in turn the Town would want the annual revenue through the property tax and their portion of the reserves.
In either scenario, the Town would need to set up a Street Light Enterprise Fund to operate and maintain the streetlights.

quipment Reserve - Amend Budget
A
n Equipment Reserve Fund is a dedicated financial reserve used to replace aging assets. It prevents sudden, budget-breaking expenses by gradually setting aside funds over the equipment’s useful life, so capital is ready when upgrades are needed. The intent is to keep a minimum fund balance of $500,000. Recommended annual contributions to the fund will be made by the Town of Colma’s Finance Department and approval from City Council.

olid Waste Franchise Agreement Update- Amended
I
n 2016 the granted a Franchise Agreement to Allied Waste Services of North America, LLC (“Republic Services”) for recyclables, organic waste, and garbage collection and processing services within the Town of Colma. The term of the Franchise Agreement is for 10 years. In 2026, the Town will either have to go out to Request for Proposals (RFP) for a new Waste Hauler or renegotiate a new agreement with terms and conditions. At the March 11, 2026, City Council Meeting, City Council agreed to extend the Waste Hauler Franchise to August 30, 2028. City Council instructed the City Manager to proceed with an RFP for a new waste hauler franchise agreement. Because the project grew in scope, going from amending the original agreement and now going to an RFP process, a project amendment is now required. The budget increase is due to the hiring of a consultant to work with staff and oversee the proposal process, establishing the new parameters of the franchise agreement and working with staff and the community to have a profound public outreach effort brough to both residents and businesses. Cost recovery for this process may be amortized into the annual franchise fees so they can be paid back to the Town.

H
VAC System Upgrade at the Police Department
The H
VAC system at the Colma Police Station shows signs of failure due to exposure to the weather, quality of the equipment and everyday normal use, (because the Department is open 24 hours, some of the units are used continuously). The other issue that the Department will face is the current HVAC system using R-22 refrigerant.
Production of R-22 refrigerant will not be manufactured after 2020 due to its harmful effects to the environment. The project will be broken into two phases, phase one plan and specification, phase two construction.

The new system will be redesigned to not only incorporate heat but will also have air conditioning making it a full HVAC system. The system will also be a full electric HVAC system , staying true to the Town’s sustainability goals in reducing greenhouse gasses. In this effort, Peninsula Clean Energy (PCE) has granted to the Town an amount of $54,679 to assist in the effort to install a new Electric Heat pump and Air condition system at the Recreation Center.
Costs for the new HVAC system will be inclusive of new equipment, associated sheet metal work, any required sub trades, and all labor costs. $25,000 was originally budgeted for this project in FY 2024-25.
