City Council Agenda Report Item # _____
Meeting Date: October 27, 2025
Subject: Revise Daly City Bicycle/Pedestrian Advisory Committee Bylaws
Recommended Action
Review and consider revisions to the Daly City Bicycle/Pedestrian Advisory Committee (DC B/PAC) bylaws.
Background
In December 2002, City Council approved the bylaws for the Daly City Bicycle/Pedestrian Advisory Committee to help promote alternatives to motor vehicles commuting and encourage safe walking and bicycle use. The bylaws established a seven-member committee and detailed the governing procedures and operating rules of the committee, including their roles, responsibilities, membership and meeting schedule.
The B/PAC meets quarterly to review proposed pedestrian/bikeway improvement projects, project funding applications and provide input on existing roadway/bikeway conditions affecting pedestrian and cycling activities in Daly City. Meetings are typically held quarterly the first Wednesday of January, April, July and October at City Hall. The members are appointed for a renewable two-year term. Volunteers must live or work in Daly City to serve on the DC B/PAC. The DC B/PAC is supported by Public Works Engineering Division personnel who prepare meeting agendas and reports for the committee’s consideration.
Discussion
During recent B/PAC meetings, committee members discussed meeting more frequently to be able to review grant applications and project plans in a timely manner. At their July 2, 2025 meeting, the committee members approved increasing the number of meetings from four to six a year and meeting at 6:00 p.m. on the first Wednesday of January, March, May, July, September and November. With the revision of the bylaws, regular meetings of the Committee shall be held no fewer than six (6) times per calendar year, typically on the first Wednesday of the scheduled month at 6:00 p.m., or at such times as the Committee may agree. Additional meetings of the full Committee may be scheduled as needed by the Chairperson or the Public Works Director by providing adequate public notice.
These proposed changes reflect the current practice and operational needs of the Committee.
Fiscal Impact
There is no significant fiscal impact associated with the recommended action. The only fiscal impact of the Daly City Bicycle/Pedestrian Advisory Committee is the Public Works support staff salary cost and minimal document reproduction costs. Funding is available for staff’s time in the Public Works - Engineering Division operating budget 10131100-51509.
Revise Daly City Bicycle/Pedestrian Advisory Committee Bylaws Meeting Date: October 27, 2025
Summary/Conclusion
Recommend the City Council review and consider the revisions to the Daly City Bicycle/Pedestrian Advisory Committee bylaws.
Staff is available to provide any additional information desired by the Mayor or Councilmembers.
Respectfully submitted,
Shirley Chan Richard Chiu, Jr.

City Council Agenda Report Item # _____
Meeting Date: October 27, 2025
Subject: Professional Services Agreement to Revise the Planned Retreat Management Plan, Revision 1 for Mussel Rock Landfill
Recommended Action
Authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement for professional services with Tetra Tech, Inc. of Oakland, California, to revise the Planned Retreat Management Plan (PRMP), Revision 1 for the Mussel Rock Landfill site in an amount not to exceed $228,000.
Background
The Mussel Rock Landfill is a closed landfill in Daly City located adjacent to the Pacific Ocean near Westline Drive. It contains over a million cubic yards of waste and is subject to continuous land movement and erosion. The City is required to maintain the site and submit semi-annual and annual site maintenance and groundwater quality monitoring reports as required by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) Order No. R2-2015-0007. Additionally, the City is required to submit annual monitoring reports to the California Coastal Commission (CCC) for the seawall below the landfill pursuant to requirements set by CCC Staff Reports 2-01-011 dated May 30, 2002 and 2-11-024 dated August 8, 2012.
CCC Staff Reports W17A dated July 27, 2012 and Staff Report Addendum for W17a, dated August 7, 2012 required the City to prepare a PRMP to consider long-term options to address hazardous issues raised by the closed landfill. CCC requested the City consider various options for the managed retreat of the landfill and associated infrastructure, including a detailed feasibility study and cost assessment to potentially relocate all or some portion of the landfill and remove the seawall at some future date.
On August 3, 2015, the City submitted the PRMP to the CCC for review. In late 2021, the City submitted a coastal development permit application to CCC for gabion wall maintenance and storm drain damage repair work that was needed. The CCC reviewed the Mussel Rock Gabion Wall and Stormwater Maintenance project and provided a Filing Status Letter dated January 20, 2022. The letter had comments on the proposed project and also included comments on the PRMP that was submitted in 2015. The City’s consultant, Tetra Tech, prepared a response to CCC on behalf of the City (letter dated April 5, 2023) addressing CCC’s comments in the January 20, 2022 Filing Status Letter. In response to the City’s April 5, 2023 letter, the CCC prepared the Mussel Rock Gabion Repair and Upper Landslide Filing Status Letter dated May 12, 2023, and again requested that the PRMP evaluate and consider all potential constraints, including geotechnical and engineering constraints; all potential phasing options with potential timelines; all project costs; and identification of potential funding options. On February 6, 2024, CCC issued a Notice of Violation (NOV) to the City for being out of compliance with Coastal Development Permit (CDP) 2-11-024 centered around CCC Staff Report W17a and requested the City resubmit a revised PRMP. PRMP, Revision 1 was prepared by Tetra Tech and submitted to CCC on April 8, 2024. CCC issued comments to PRMP, Revision 1 in a filing letter entitled CDP Application 2-23-0459 – Mussel Rock Armoring and Planned Retreat Management Plan, dated July 31, 2024.
Professional Services Agreement to Revise the Planned Retreat Management Plan, Revision 1 for Mussel Rock Landfill
Meeting Date: October 27, 2025
Discussion
The scope of work with Tetra Tech, Inc. under this professional services agreement includes the following:
• Address comments from the CCC filing letter entitled, CDP Application 2-23-0459 – Mussel Rock Armoring and Planned Retreat Management Plan (July 31, 2024); • Evaluate the three new PRMP alternatives; and
• Prepare a revised PRMP that will re-evaluate and update the technical constraints relative to potential elevated groundwater table, sea level rise and seismic stability, phasing options, potential timelines, project costs and funding options.
Tetra Tech, Inc. has been the City’s consultant for monitoring and reporting services related to Mussel Rock since 2016 and they have been responsive in meeting the City’s needs related to site monitoring activities. Tetra Tech has extensive experience in all phases of solid waste landfill design and monitoring, including groundwater and leachate monitoring. In addition, they have subject matter experts in seashore processes, geotechnical engineering, engineering geology and civil engineering.
Due to their extensive experience and historical knowledge of the Mussel Rock site, Tetra Tech, Inc. is the most qualified firm to perform the needed services for the City in a timely manner to meet the CCC deadline.
Fiscal Impact
The professional services agreement with Tetra Tech, Inc. provides for a not-to-exceed amount of $207,277. This amount includes reviewing the CCC’s comments on the PRMP Revision 1 submitted in April 2024 and preparing a revised PRMP based on the CCC’s latest comments. Staff is requesting an additional 10% contingency for a total amount of $228,000. There are sufficient funds in Fiscal Year 2025-26 General Fund CIP – Mussel Rock Waste Mitigation project account 33154600 to fully fund the project. No additional appropriation is needed at this time.
Summary/Conclusion
Authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement for professional services with Tetra Tech, Inc. of Oakland, California, to revise the Planned Retreat Management Plan (PRMP), Revision 1 for the Mussel Rock Landfill site in an amount not to exceed $228,000.

RE: Proposal and Cost Estimate to Revise the PRMP, Revision 2 Mussel Rock Landfill, City of Daly City, California
Mr. Chiu,
Tetra Tech appreciates the opportunity to submit this proposal and cost estimate to the City of Daly City, Public Works Department (City) to revise the Mussel Rock Landfill (MRL) Planned Retreat Management Plan (PRMP), Revision 1, dated April 8, 2024. The original PRMP was prepared by URS and dated August 3, 2015. Tetra Tech revised the 2015 PRMP in response to comments received from the California Coastal Commission (CCC) in their non-filing letter of July 6, 2023. PRMP, Revision 1 was prepared by Tetra Tech and submitted to the CCC on April 8, 2024 , and shortly thereafter the CCC issued their comments to the PRMP, Revision 1 in a non-filing letter entitled, CDP Application 2-23-0459 – Mussel Rock Armoring and Planned Retreat Management Plan (July 31, 2024). PRMP, Revision 1 will be revised as Revision 2 based on the: 1) Information requested by the CCC in the July 31, 2024 non-filing letter, 2) Discussions between the City, CCC, and Tetra Tech during a scheduled meeting held on July 29, 2025 and on September 15, 2025, and 3) Conversations between Richard Chiu and Mike Velzy on August 5, 2025 and October 8, 2025.
Tetra Tech submitted a proposal to the City on March 28, 2025 to address the first 11 CCC comments of the July 31, 2024 non-filing letter from the CCC. Tetra Tech prepared internal responses to the first eleven comments that were submitted to the City on April 2 8, 2025. The hours from the March 28, 2025 proposal have been transferred to this proposal.
Tetra Tech will address the most relevant comments from the CCC in PRMP, Revision 2 . In Addition, PRMP, Revision 2 will remove the six alternatives and beach access provision in Section 3.0 and replace them with three new alternatives that will include both the UDA and LDA together and emphasize long-term stability of the MRL site. In general, the three alternatives will include:
• Alternative 1: Full Retreat – Alternative 1 includes removal of all UDA and LDA landfill materials with off-site disposal and site -wide restoration . This alternative is similar, but not the same as Alternative 6 in PRMP Revision 1. This alternative includes off -site disposal, grading plans, fill placement, re-engineered storm water conveyance channels, and site restoration. • Alternative 2: Partial Retreat – Alternative 2 includes partial removal of UDA and LDA landfill materials in high-risk areas combined with slope reduction as necessary to maximize long-term stability of the entire site. This alternative includes off-site disposal, grading plans, final landfill cap placement, re-engineered storm water conveyance channels, and site restoration. • Alternative 3: Stabilization – Alternative 3 addresses 1) long -term upland slope stability by considering structural retaining walls instead of mass excavation, and 2) revetment stability. UDA and LDA landfill slopes will be reduced to a lesser degree than Alternative 2 due to the addition of structural retaining walls(s). The slopes with the highest risk of landfill failure will be analyzed with the proposed retainment structures. The existing and new revetment walls will be analyzed for long- term stability. To potentially increase revetment stability, a trench excavated 50 to 100 feet upslope of the existing seawall to a depth below landfill waste and filled with riprap could provide additional resistance to the slow steady creep pushing the slide westward. This alternative includes off -site disposal, grading plans, final landfill cap placement , re-engineered storm water conveyance channels, and site restoration.

PROPOSED SCOPE OF WORK
The scope of work for PRMP , Revision 2 is described below. The same report format used in Revision 1 will be used in Revision 2, and will include:
1. Section 1 (Introduction) and Section 2 (Background) will remain but be updated.
2. Section 3.1 (Evaluation Overview) will be revised and updated.
3. Sections 3.2 through 3. 8 (Alternatives 1 through 5 plus Beach Access and Public Use ) will be removed and replaced with the three new alternatives as presented above and described below.
4. Section 4 (PRMP Funding Mechanisms) will be updated.
Tetra Tech will indirectly respond to CCC Comments 12, 16, 17, 18, 19, and 20 in the PRMP, Revision 2 .
It is Tetra Tech’s understanding that Cotton Shires & Associates (CSA) will provide responses to geotechnical comments numbers 19, and possibly 20 for use in the PRMP, Revision 2.
A brief description of the three new alternatives that will be developed in PRMP , Revision 2 is described below.
ALTERNATIVE 1: Full Retreat – The goal of Alternative 1 is to 1) remove all landfill waste from the LDA and UDA and fill canyons and depressions left vacant by waste removal following excavation, 2) stabilize site slopes, 3) capture, route, and discharge stormwater offsite into the Pacific Ocean, and 4) restore the property as an open space that will be open to the public 24/7. This alternative is like Section 3.7 (Full Removal of Landfill Materials), PRMP Revision 1. Alternative 1 will use all available historical geological, geotechnical, and engineering data to determine the areas with the highest potential risk of slope failure during construction a nd after final fill placement and grading. In addition, historical data could be supplemented to the maximum extent possible with new applicable and relevant information as it becomes available. Alternative 1 will also be based on observations of previous construction projects, operations, and maintenance over the past several years, sea level rise (SLR) evaluations, construction phasing. In general, Alternative 1 will include the following key components:
1. Removal of all vegetation and landfill waste from the LDA and UDA with off-site disposal. Cover soils will be stockpiled on site for reuse.
2. The riprap revetment will remain in place and be re-evaluated for possible removal during the post- closure period.
3. Filling the LDA canyons with existing landfill cover soils and clean imported soils.
4. Site-wide re-grading and restoration to maximize long-term stability, stormwater conveyance with off-site discharge.
5. Compliance with state and federal environmental regulations for landfill clean closure , including a detailed implementation schedule, a characterization of the site conditions to define the extent and character of residual soil contamination; a description of the excavation and material management procedures to be followed; and a description of health and safety procedures to be followed , and specific measures to protect public health and safety during clean closure activities .
6. Modified hazard estimates that consider all coastal hazards that apply (including but not limited to episodic and long -term shoreline retreat and coastal erosion, high seas, ocean waves, storms, tsunami, tidal scour, wave overtopping, coastal flooding, land slides, bluff and geologic instability, bluff retreat, liquefaction and their interaction) including over time and as are exacerbated by SLR. (Reference: CCC comment #16, July 31, 2024)
7. An update to the depth -limited breaking wave evaluation included in the Preliminary Coastal Engineering Assessment and based on an assumed toe at mean sea level . The update will use a greater depth-limited wave to evaluate the potential wave runup . (Reference: CCC comment #17, July 31, 2024)
8. Groundwater monitoring wells and semiannual groundwater sampling.
Mr. Richard Chiu
October 13, 2025
TETRA TECH
9. Regular routine site wide maintenance and monitoring.
10. Construction schedule.
After landfill waste materials are removed from the site , subgrade soils will be tested for organic and nonorganic constituents and compared to environmental screening levels and site-specific risk-based actions levels, as applicable, to document the levels and extent of any soil contamination The canyons used for waste placement in the LDA and UDA will be filled with existing landfill cover soils, clean imported soils, and imported top soil to support vegetative growth . Clean imported fill dirt from San Francisco Bay Area contractors looking for a free or inexpensive disposal option could also be considered. The more fill that is placed in the canyons will contribute to the overall long-term stability of the site. Once restored the site will be vegetated with a seed mix of native species previously approved by the CCC that do not require irrigation. The proper best management practices (BMP) will be incorporated into the restoration. Surface water will be captured in channels , directed down slope, and discharged to the Pacific Ocean. A new groundwater monitoring network and sampling schedule will be implemented as required by the RWQCB.
Earthen access roads will be included i n the final grading plan for City Staff and its contractors to access the site following closure for monitoring, inspection, and maintenance purposes. There will be no public utilities onsite such as running water, restrooms, lighting, or trash cans.
ALTERNATIVE 2: Partial Retreat – The entire MRL site, including the UDA, LDA and surrounding areas between the two disposal areas, will be evaluated to identify sections of site with the highest potential risk of slope failure. The goal of Alternative 2 is to 1) achieve long-term stability over the entire MRL by reducing slope angles in areas with the highest potential for slope failure, and 2) minimize the quantity of excavated waste.
Historical geotechnical, geological, and engineering data (McMillen Jacobs Associates, 1999; Kleinfelder, 1998, 1999, 2001; URS, 2014; Tetra Tech, 2019; and others) used to prepare previous slope stability analyses will be incorporated into the hazards eva luation. Additional geotechnical investigation(s) and studies, if necessary, are not included as part of this PRMP , Revision 2 and may be required in the LDA and/or UDA if the existing geotechnical database does not provide sufficient geological boring data to determine thickness and depth of landfill waste and type subgrade base rock in high-risk areas to use as input parameters for static stability analyses. In this case, a separate proposal for a supplemental geological/geotechnical investigation would be submitted to the City for approval.
Using a two-dimension slope-stability computer program based on the limit-equilibrium method, acceptable factors of safety for various slope configurations and seismic conditions will be generated for the highest risk area(s). In addition, deformation analyses using a finite element or similar method will be performed on the same slopes to determine the potential extent of deformation. The slope stability analyses will provide the basis for final grading and the quantity of excavated soil and waste. The final grading plan will be created in AutoCAD, which will calculate the quantity of excavated soil/waste and cover soil in terms of cubic yards and tons. For off -site disposal, Tetra Tech will request pricing information from San Francisco Bay Area Class III landfills to secure the lowest disposal and trucking costs per unit volume for off -site disposal. The San Francisco Bay Area Class III landfills that will be contacted include, but not limited to, Republic Services (Ox Mountain [Half Moon Bay], Newby Island [Milpitas], Keller Canyon [Pittsburg], Vasco Road [Livermore], and West Contra Costa [Richmond]) and Waste Management (Altamont Landfill [Livermore]).
A new grading plan will be developed that will show access roads and benches as determined by slope stability analyses. The benches will include half round open stormwater conveyance channels that will drain into drop inlet pipes that discharge into the ocean. The location(s) of the ocean outfall pipe(s) will be determined and may or may not be the exis ting outfall pipes. Additionally, horizontal collection drains in known seep areas will be installed to collect and rout low-flow seep water to stormwater drainage channels.
All existing vegetation in affected areas will be removed and disposed of offsite. The existing landfill cover soil in excavated areas of the LDA and UDA will be removed and stockpiled onsite for future use. Once slope excavation is completed according to the slope stability analyses, the stockpiled cover soil will be placed at a minimum thickness of two feet. Clean imported soil w ill be brought onsite to supplement the existing cover soils in stockpile , if necessary . Two feet of clean c over soils will be p laced and tracked -

walked for compaction. Excavated areas will be vegetated with a San Mateo County coastal seed mix previously approved by the CCC and used at the MRL.
The final cover will be placed at a thickness of two feet (minimum) and vegetated with a San Mateo County coastal seed mix previously approved by the CCC and used at the MRL. The existing groundwater monitoring well network and semiannual groundwater sampl ing schedule will be retained. Regular routine site-wide maintenance and monitoring will continue to be employed. Two conceptual construction schedules will be prepared that show a short and long phased approach to excavation and offsite disposal.
ALTERNATIVE 3a: Upland Stabilization –Alternative 3a includes slope stability analyses and limited slope reduction augmented by high strength in ground structural components to increase overall slope stability.
Alternative 3a includes a lesser quantity of excavation to stabilize area slopes due to the use retaining structures. These conceptual retaining structures described below require significant planning and design to achieve a long-term stable solution and construction costs could be very high. The location(s) of these structures will be shown in plan view with representative cross -sections as necessary to show how the structure(s) are tied into the subsurface. A supplemental geotechnical investigation in the area(s) potentially intended for these types of structures would be required and are not part of this PRMP, Revision 2.
Slope stabilization retaining structures that could be considered, but not limited to, include:
1) Shear Pin Wall - a row of shear pins at the top of the landslide within the UDA boundary. The shear pins would retain the landfill material, reducing the surcharge and volume of landfill debris mobilized, and provide an upper limit to the landslide headward advancement. 2) Gabion Wall – Gabion walls have been used at MRL for the past 25 years. The existing gabion baskets are in poor condition due to corrosion of the steel wire mesh baskets. Gabion walls are good retaining structures on slopes to mitigate sloughing and surface slides because they are relatively easy to install, and have good erosion control , permeability, durability, low cost, and flexible design qualities.
3) Soldier Pile Wall with Pre-cast Concrete Lagging – Combined with partial waste/soil removal could be an effective retaining system. The soldier piles are drilled or driven vertically into the ground.
Soldier piles are steel H beams with pre-cast concrete lagging placed horizontally between the soldier piles. Additional lateral reinforcement elements may include steel struts, and or walers, placed between the soldier piles.
4) Riprap Buttress Wall – Install an extension north of the existing revetment wall at the toe of the slope below the UDA to armor the landslide toe and reduce the impact of wave driven erosion at the toe of the landslide. Note that this structure has been designed and is currently being constructed with completion estimated for December 2025. (see Alternative 3b for details) Existing vegetation and cover soils will be removed. Vegetation will be disposed of offsite and cover soils will be stockpiled onsite for reuse. A new grading plan will be prepared with benches to reduce driving forces upslope. The final cover will be place d at a thickness of two feet (minimum) and vegetated with a San Mateo County coastal seed mix previously approved by the CCC and used at the MRL. The existing groundwater monitoring well network and semiannual groundwater sampling schedule will be retained .
Regular routine site-wide maintenance and monitoring will continue to be employed.
ALTERNATIVE 3b: Revetment Stabilization – The existing revetment seawall, which measures approximately 2,400 feet in length parallel to the beach and ranges in elevation between 25 and 54 feet (NAVD88), has just completed a significant repair from approximately the half -way point at Station 12+00 to the far south end of the seawall. A similar revetment repair was completed in 2017 on the north half of the seawall, which has held up very well in the eight intervening years. The sag in the seawall between Sta tions 6+50 and 10+00 with the low point at approximately Station 8+00 (Elevation 26 feet [NAVD 88]) would be raised in the short term approximately ten feet at the low point to tie into the seawall at Stations 6+50 and 10+00.
Long term, the seawall revetment would be further raised to accommodate SLR with a toe berm recommended.
The new revetment extension is located on the beach at the toe of the canyon landslide below the UDA and will be approximately as high as the surface elevation of the existing access road at the south

TETRA TECH
end of the LDA seawall (Elevation 35 feet [NAVD 88 ]). To further reduce the risk of slope failures the installation of horizontal drains in the canyon wall below the UDA to lower the groundwater level in the vicinity will be considered. It is noted that the UDA revetment construction is currently in progress as designed by CSA. The PRMP, Revision 2 will include the new revetment extension design documents and construction documents. The new and existing revetments will be analyzed for stability based on, but not limited to, riprap size, slope angles, wave height, SLR, and scour potential. Recommendations for future revetment improvements if appropriate will be added to the PRMP, Revision 2.
The condition of the existing revetment seawall and new revetment extension upon completion will be analyzed for long-term stability with recommendations for additional work, if required, to extend the life and effectiveness of the revetment.
It is estimated that the south end of MRL has moved approximately 100 feet over the past 30 plus years.
Conceptually, a trench positioned 50 to 100 feet above the toe of the revetment could be excavated to a depth at or below landfill waste and filled with riprap to provide additional resistance to on-going westward creep. The trench would be lined with a heavy woven geotextile fabric that would keep sediment from filling the riprap void spaces and also permit the groundwater to flow through the trench. The trench combined with the structural reinforcement presented above could provide substantial long -term upland and coastal stability.
The existing groundwater monitoring network and semiannual sampling schedule will be retained.
Disturbed areas would be restored and vegetated as discussed with Alternatives 1 and 2. Regular routine site-wide maintenance and monitoring will continue to be employed. Two conceptual schedules will be prepared for Alternative 3 with a short and long phased construction approach.
UNAVOIDABLE COASTAL RESOURCE IMPACTS – CCC C omments 12, 16, 17, and 18 will be addressed in PRMP, Revision 2 and incorporated into Alternatives 1, 2, and 3 . The existing revetment will be evaluated to respond to CCC Comment 12, unavoidable coastal resource impacts . The comment requests that revetment retention would have to be commensurately offset and mitigated. The revetment seawall will be removed in Alternative 1 but will be retained in Alternatives 2 and 3 and will include an assessment of such impacts, applicable avoidance measures, and applicable mitigation for unavoidable impacts. The CCC suggested that the mitigation component for each be explained in terms of the cost of such impacts using the Commission’s typical armoring assessment methodology. The CCC provided a copy of the armoring assessment methodology that will be incorporated into the PRMP , Revision 2. Tetra Tech will coordinate with the CCC on this task so that the data provided by the City meets the Commission’s analytical needs.
Tetra Trech will address the impacts from SLR in responding to Comment 16, including bluff retreat, erosion, slope stabilities, and other hazard constraints identified in Comment 16, including potential coastal hazard impacts, especially over time, are multi-faceted. Tetra Tech will address CCC Comment 17 by providing an update to the “Preliminary Coastal Engineering Assessment” (March 6, 2024) that will use a greater depth- limited wave to evaluate the potential wave runup and rock mobilit y. In addition, Tetra Tech will address CCC Comment 18 by considering the potential for flanking in an assessment of future risk, as well as what kind of strategies could be implemented to prevent the deterioration of the site and continued contribution to marine debris and pollution of marine waters. The evaluation will include the potential for the artificial promontory formed by the revetment protected toe of the MRL to further disrupt sand transport through the littoral system.
It is recommended that responses to CCC Comments10, 19, 20, and 21 be submitted separatel y, and not included with the PRMP, Revision 2.

Meeting Date: October 27, 2025
Subject: Approve Partnership with Thornton High School at the Pacelli Event Center
Recommended Action
Consider City partnership with Thornton High School (THS) of the Jefferson Union High School District to have use of the Pacelli Event Center on Monday, May 18 (practice) and Tuesday, May 19, 2026 for their Graduation ceremonies, and consider fee waivers.
Background
In previous years, Thornton High School (THS) used the Serramonte del Rey space for its graduation ceremonies. Due to that facility’s closure, THS reached out to the Department of Recreation Services last year, and with Council approval, the City of Daly City partnered with the school to host its ceremonies.
THS is requesting to partner again for the upcoming school year’s graduation events—rehearsal on Monday, May 18, 2026 and graduation on Tuesday, May 19, 2026—for approximately 300 attendees.
As a partner, the City would host the events at the Pacelli Event Center within Westlake Park and provide tables, chairs, set-up, and clean-up on the day of the event. THS would supply all materials related to the ceremony and ensure that all items are removed and the facility is left in its original condition.
Discussion
The City Council may consider becoming an official partner, waiving fees and other requirements for the rental of the Pacelli Event Center, from 12:30 – 4pm on May 18 and 8am – 4:30pm on May 19. The chart below depicts all costs associated with the rental:

Subject: Approve Partnership with IN THE LAB and Hoop Bus at the Pacelli Gymnasium
Recommended Action
Consider City partnership with IN THE LAB and Hoop Bus to host the Infinity 3x3 Invitational Basketball Tournament on Saturday, November 1, 2025 at the Pacelli Gymnasium.
Background
Infinity 3x3 Invitational isn’t a traditional basketball tournament. It features fast-paced, half-court play where every possession matters. Since debuting as an Olympic sport at the 2020 Tokyo Games, 3x3 basketball has gained global popularity. Infinity 3x3 Invitational brings that same energy to California, giving players visibility, development opportunities, and a pathway to international rankings—while also uniting families and building community connections.
The Invitational will host eight teams comprised of youth athletes (14u level), each team with three starters and one substitute, competing over a total of three-hours of gameplay, comprised of two hours of pool play and one hour of semi-finals/finals. There will also be time allotted for set-up and breakdown.
Approximately 40 players and coaches are expected, along with families and spectators. The event will require two half-court setups, standard spectator seating, and access to a lobby area for check-in and warm- ups. Organizers will provide basketballs, scoreboards, and shot clocks, while requesting the City’s assistance with tables, chairs, ball racks and a portable speaker and microphone.
Both the Department of Recreation Services and the IN THE LAB team see this event as the beginning of a meaningful partnership throughout the fiscal year—one that will bring the Infinity 3x3 Invitational back to the Pacelli Gym and create ongoing opportunities for Daly City youth to grow, connect, and thrive through sports and community engagement.
Discussion
The City Council may consider becoming an official event partner and waiving fees and other requirements for the rental of the Pacelli Gymnasium, from 7:30am – 1:30pm on Saturday, November 1, 2025. The chart below depicts all costs associated with the rental:

City Council Meeting Agenda Report Item # _____
Meeting Date: October 27, 2025
Subject: Accept and Appropriate a $1,890 Zip Books Grant
Recommended Action
It is recommended the City Council accept and appropriate a $1,890 Zip Books Grant from the State of California.
Background/Discussion
The Library has been awarded a Zip Books grant; this will be our third year participating this program. The Zip Books program provides library users with speedy access to books that are not available at our libraries. A patron simply requests the item, the library purchases it from Amazon, and the book is shipped directly to the patron’s home. When finished, the patron returns it to the library, and the library adds it to the collection. Because Zip Books is a user-driven program, the library collection becomes more closely matched to the needs of the local community.
Eligible items include books and audiobooks not currently available in the library catalog that fit the Library's Materials Selection Policy. Patrons can borrow up to two items at a time through this program. To place a request, patrons can fill out the online form at www.dalycity.org/zipbooks or speak with a staff person at their library.
This project is supported in whole or in part by funding provided by the State of California, administered by the California State Library.
Fiscal Impact
This grant revenue was not anticipated in the current Fiscal Year budget. Accept and appropriate the $1,890 for expenditure in Fiscal Year 2025-26. These grant funds were received and will be expended in Fiscal Year 2025-26.

Daly City, CA 94014 (Via Email and Regular Mail)
Re: Rescheduled Public Hearing – Censure Consideration
Dear Councilmember DiGiovanni,
This letter serves as formal notice that the previously scheduled public hearing regarding the City Council's consideration of censure has been rescheduled to October 27, 2025, to accommodate your request for additional preparation time.
The hearing will now take place as follows:
