2 ORAL COMMENT:

Nurses from Seton Hospital raised serious concerns about ongoing mismanagement and unsafe working conditions within the facility. They brought attention to key issues, including understaffing, inadequate emergency medical equipment, and the failure to com ply with CDPH guidelines and staffing ratios laws. Additionally, they noted that inexperienced nurses are often compelled to train new graduates, while management pressures staff to complete their duties even after their shifts have ended, without any overtime compensation. Long shifts frequently leave nurses without adequate support, as they handle an excessive number of patients. The speakers emphasized that these challenging circumstances not only endanger the safety of nurses themselves but also put patients at risk. The toll on staff has been both mental and physical. Moreover, nurses raised the issue of recruitment and retention of experienced professionals, pointing out that wages and benefits at Seton are 20% lower than those at other hospitals in the area. They are urging management, AHMC, to respect and support their nursing staff by ensuring adequate staffing levels and fostering a safe work environment. Some expressed that Seton plays a vital role in the community, being the only hospital in the area. Speakers thanked the Council for their attention and urged them to support Seton’s nurses.

City Council Meeting Agenda Report Item # _____

Meeting Date: December 8, 2025

Subject: Consideration of Resolution Affirming Support for Tenant Protections and Housing Stability

Recommended Action
Staff presents to Council, for determination, the attached resolution affirming support for housing stability and tenant protections and directing staff to continue evaluating a potential Tenant Anti- Harassment Ordinance and related implementation considerations.

Background/Discussion
The City has reviewed a proposed Tenant Anti-Harassment Ordinance, which includes protections for tenants against 26 types of landlord harassment, provisions for civil remedies and relocation assistance, and mechanisms for enforcement and education. While the City supports the goals of the Ordinance, formal adoption is not recommended at this time due to pending fiscal and administrative considerations.

The resolution reflects the Council’s determination to proceed at this time with a policy resolution rather than an ordinance, while maintaining a framework for continued review of tenant protection options, including the possible adoption of a Tenant Anti-Harassment Ordinance.

The resolution affirms support for tenant protections and housing stability, directs staff to continue studying implementation options for a possible Tenant Anti-Harassment Ordinance, and encourages collaboration with tenants, landlords, legal aid providers, and community organizations to assess community needs.

The resolution further directs staff to return with a progress report during the City’s mid-cycle budget review, anticipated in Spring 2026, that will summarize research, stakeholder engagement, and potential implementation milestones.

Mayor Daus-Magbual supports the Resolution and encourages the Council to adopt the resolution as a prudent step toward protecting tenants while giving the City sufficient time to assess the feasibility of implementation.

Fiscal Impact
There is no direct fiscal impact from adopting this resolution. Future analysis and stakeholder engagement will be conducted using existing resources. If the Council later directs adoption of an ordinance, a separate fiscal and administrative impact review will be provided.

Summary/Conclusion
The resolution affirms the City Council’s support for public support of tenant protections and directs further review of possible ordinance options. At the same time, it allows staff time to assess the feasibility of implementation of the Ordinance.

WHEREAS, despite these important statewide measures, many tenants continue to experience housing instability, harassment, and barriers to asserting their legal rights, highlighting the need for continued local action and support; and

WHEREAS, the City has reviewed a proposed Tenant Anti-Harassment Ordinance, which defines 26 forms of prohibited harassment by landlords, establishes civil remedies for tenants, and outlines tenant rights and disclosure obligations to promote housing stability and deter coercive conduct; and

WHEREAS, the City Council supports tenant protections and desires to explore strategies and policies that promote safe, decent, and stable housing for all, including through further study of the Tenant Anti-Harassment Ordinance and its implementation feasibility; and

WHEREAS, the City of Daly City has a long-standing commitment to fair housing, equity, and the prevention of discrimination in housing as reflected in its General Plan Housing Element and community development policies; and

WHEREAS, the City Council wishes to reaffirm its commitment to protecting tenants from unlawful eviction, landlord harassment, and retaliation, and to explore the creation of local programs and ordinances that strengthen tenant protections consistent with state law; and

2 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Daly City as follows:

1. Affirmation of Support.

City Council Meeting Agenda Report Item # _____

Meeting Date: December 8, 2025

Subject: Time Extension for Use Permit UPR-6-19-14076 and Design Review DR-6-19-14077 — Mixed-Use Apartment Building at 493 Eastmoor Avenue

Recommended Action

Approve the time extension to February 24, 2028, subject to the findings and Conditions of Approval adopted by the City Council on February 24, 2020.

Background

On February 24, 2020, the City Council approved a request by Core Affordable Housing to construct a seven-story mixed-use apartment building on a 0.37-acre vacant lot on the northwest corner of Eastmoor and Sullivan Avenues. The Conditions of Approval required that building permits be issued and construction diligently pursued within two years of approval of the use permit approval, otherwise the use permit and design review approvals would become invalid.

The applicant has cited an ongoing delay related to obtaining funding for the affordable housing development as the primary reasons for the construction delay and is therefore requesting an additional two-year time extension of the use permit and design review approvals associated with the project. The City Council should be aware that since the Council granted the previous time extension in January 2024, the applicants have completed the plan review process through the Building Division and a building permit could be issued soon.

Conclusion
As the Planning Division has worked with the applicant to address the Conditions of Approval, which would remain unchanged, staff recommends approval of the Time Extension to February 24, 2028.

While evaluating the renewal of the Enterprise Agreement (EA), staff reviewed the requirements of the City with regard to savings, flexibility to respond to rapidly changing technology, disaster recovery, and streamlined license management. The EA enables the City to deploy a common platform across the City and allows the mix of Microsoft Government Cloud services and on- premises software.

Under the EA Program, the Procurement Division of the California Department of General Services has obtained group pricing for the acquisition of Microsoft enterprise licensing and maintenance upgrades and has a short list of approved Microsoft Account Resellers. This ensures that the pricing has been pre-negotiated and is deemed fair and reasonable. Microsoft requires all purchasing organizations to buy their products through third-party resellers such as CDW-G. The City has a long-term relationship with CDW-G. This relationship has been in place for several years due to the excellent customer service CDW-G provides.

Fiscal Impact

The cost of the three-year agreement is $706,045.32. The cost for FY 2026 is $235,348.44; the cost for FY 2027 is $235,348.44; and the cost for FY 2028 is $235,348.44. Funding for the first six months of FY 2026 is included in the current Information Services Division budget. Funding for the remainder of the agreement will be requested in upcoming biennial budgets.

Summary/Conclusion

Staff recommends adopting a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a three-year agreement between the City of Daly City and CDW-G in an amount not to exceed $706,045.32.

Staff is available to provide any additional information desired by the Mayor or Councilmembers.

2. SamTrans requested a red zone at the southeast corner of Southgate Avenue and St. Francis Boulevard to allow southbound SamTrans buses to safely turn left onto Southgate Avenue.

3. The City received a request for two parking stalls in front of Peninsula Family Services Daycare be converted to loading zones during drop-off and pick-up times. The organization serves approximately 30 children and was concerned with the safety of families accessing the daycare.

 A retiring employee (defined as an employee who is retiring from the City and is taking a service or disability retirement from CalPERS) shall place 100% of the value of their vacation and compensatory time off into the ICMA City contracted Retiree Health Savings Account.

The City is in agreement to prospectively change the RHSA Plan Administrator from Mission Square to IAFF Medical Expense Reimbursement (MERP) at a date to be determined.

M.K. Overtime

Regardless of the exempt or non-exempt status of Battalion Chiefs in this MOU, the City contractually agrees to calculate and pay overtime to bargaining unit employees in the classification of Battalion Chief in accordance with FLSA overtime provisions. This provision should not be considered indicative of any position’s exempt or non-exempt status. Therefore, the City agrees to pay overtime at the rate of time and one-half of the pay rate for the overtime work performed (at the 40 or 56 hour rate) for off-duty hours when responding to emergencies, public education programs, and training events (i.e. CPR, NET, active participant at homeowner’s association meetings). Battalion Chief overtime will be filled on a rank-for-rank basis.

N.L. FLSA work period

The FLSA work period is defined as twenty-four (24) days with an FLSA overtime threshold of 182 hours for 56 hour employees.

O.M. Comp Time

Employees may not accrue a compensatory time off balance that exceeds seventy-two (72) hours. Once the maximum balance has been obtained, authorized overtime hours will be paid at the overtime rate. If the employee’s balance falls below seventy-two (72) hours, the employee may again accrue compensatory time off for authorized overtime hours worked until the employee’s balance again reaches seventy-two (72) hours.

Accrued compensatory time off may be carried over for use in the next fiscal year; however, as provided above, accrued compensatory time off balances may not exceed one hundred and forty-four seventy-two (14472) hours.

P.N. Bereavement Leave

For 40-hour employees, a maximum of five (5) working days bereavement leave may be taken for deaths occurring in the immediate family. 56-hour employees may take a maximum of two shifts of bereavement leave for deaths occurring in the immediate family.

APPENDIX C – CITY OF DALY CITY - MODIFIED WORK (LIGHT DUTY) Assignments for Injured Employees

Policy: It is the goal of the City of Daly City to provide a safe working environment for all employees and to maintain an effective and efficient program for the provision of workers' compensation benefits. To assist in such efforts, the utilization of light duty assignments will be encouraged wherever practicable.

Purpose: To provide for the return to work of both industrially and non-industrially injured and/or ill employees in a capacity consistent with a disability temporarily precluding the affected employee from the performance of the employee's full and normal duties but not limiting the employee totally such that productive assignments can be performed by the employee without fear of aggravating the injury.

Procedure:

1. An employee must have incurred an injury or illness which incapacitates him or her from performing the full duties of his/her job as set forth in the job description. Such disability must be confirmed in writing by a physician licensed to practice medicine in the State of California.

2. Treating physicians shall be supplied with the following:

a. City's light duty policy,
b. "Physician's Evaluation and Release" forms,
c. Employee's job description,
d. Job Demands/Employee Restrictions form.

The above forms will be provided to the employee to present to his/her physician upon initial meeting with physician.

3. There must be a written statement from a physician licensed to practice medicine in the State of California, releasing the employee to perform specific functions. The physician's statement must contain the specifics of the employee’s limitations in performing work and how long it is anticipated these limitations are expected to continue.

4. The City may require a second physical examination to verify the information in the physician's statement, at City expense.

5. The department head, in consultation with the Risk Manager and the Director of Human Resources will determine whether there is suitable work available within the department with due regard to the needs of the City and the medical condition of the employee, and subject to the rights of the employee under the Worker's Compensation Act.

Memorandum of Understanding
City of Daly City and Daly City Fire Management
October 1, 20252 through September 30, 20285

10348637.1 DA003-007

6. If a suitable assignment meeting all the restrictions imposed by the treating physician has been found for the injured employee, the employee will be released to light duty in that capacity.

7. If more than one assignment is available to the employee, the department head, in consultation with the employee, shall determine which assignment shall be worked.

8. When performing light duty work assignments in accordance with this procedure, employees shall receive full compensation for their regular classification of employment.

9. Such temporary light duty assignments may continue until such time as the first of the following events has occurred:

a. The employee is given a full and complete release to resume normal work activities by the employee's treating physician and said release is approved by the City Manager or his or her designee;

b. The employee's condition is declared permanent and stationary, and the employee is unable to perform the duties of his/her regular permanent position;

c. More than 52 weeks have elapsed subsequent to the date of the employee's illness or injury.

City Council Meeting Agenda Report Item # _____

Meeting Date: December 8, 2025

Subject: Public Hearing – Amending Chapter 2.16 of the Daly City Municipal Code re:

Arts and Culture Commission

Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the City Council amend Daly City Municipal Code Chapter 2.16 Arts and Culture Commission

Background/Discussion
The Arts & Culture Commission was established by the Daly City Council in December 2013 to develop and encourage programs in the fine arts and to promote and celebrate the cultural diversity of the community. It was envisioned that the Commission could:

1. Serve as a liaison between the City Council and local fine arts and cultural-based groups;

2. Provide stewardship for the public display of art in the Octagon Gallery at City Hall; and

3. Assist in planning annual cultural events.

After celebrating its 10th Anniversary as a Commission on April 8, 2025, the Commission undertook a self-reflective process, revisiting its ordinance-based duties and discussing how effectively they meet the needs of Daly City’s increasingly diverse population. The Arts & Culture Commission recognizes it has grown in scope and impact since its creation.

The role of the Commission has expanded beyond advising on fine arts—it has evolved into building bridges, amplifying marginalized voices, and intentionally using culture to address social issues.

This expanded role is exemplified by the Commission’s planning and execution of the Día de los Muertos Celebration. Beyond organizing a successful community event, the Commission used this platform to elevate social issues through art—curating installations and performances that highlighted themes of memory, resilience, and community healing. This celebration is just one example of how the Commission enhances arts and culture in the City by uplifting diverse artistic traditions, strengthening community identity, fostering cross-cultural understanding, supporting local artists, activating public spaces, and providing a culturally rooted space for healing, remembrance, and connection. This level of engagement underscores how the Commission brings people together—both to shape cultural expression and to engage in shared public conversations.

To support the Commission’s growth, and in response to the City Council’s requests to ensure the Arts & Culture Commission has adequate funding to support their initiatives, the updated Ordinance will include the creation of an Art in Public Places account. This account is designed to provide clear oversight of funds donated or allocated by the City Council for cultural programming and public art, ensuring transparency, accountability, and the ability to strategically plan long-term arts initiatives.

City Council Agenda Report
Subject: Public Hearing – Amending Chapter 2.16 of the Daly City Municipal Code re:

Arts and Culture Commission
Meeting Date: December 8, 2025

Summary/Conclusion
Staff recommends that the City Council amend Daly City Municipal Code Chapter 2.16 Arts and Culture Commission to align the Commission’s formal duties with its current scope of work.

Modernizing the code will acknowledge the Commission’s expanded impact and provide the structural support needed to continue delivering meaningful, inclusive, and socially relevant arts programming for the community.

Staff will conduct a study, potentially through a committee, to further review all commissions and evaluate their efficacy.

Staff and members of the Arts & Culture Commission are available to provide any additional information desired by the Mayor or Councilmembers.

Respectfully submitted,

City Council Meeting Agenda Report Item # _____

Meeting Date: December 8, 2025

Subject: Public Hearing – Amend Chapter 2.20 of the Daly City Municipal Code RE:

Recreation Commission

Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the City Council Amend Chapter 2.20 of the Daly City Municipal Code RE:

Recreation Commission.

Background/Discussion
In 2017, the Youth Advisory Committee was established through Resolution 17-75 to create a platform for youth voices in Daly City. The Daly City Youth Advisory Committee (DCYAC) was intended to offer school-aged residents an opportunity to serve on a board, observe and participate in local government, and gain valuable experience that would help prepare them to become civically engaged and empowered citizens.

The goals of the DCYAC were to represent the youth voice and provide meaningful feedback to promote a healthier, more connected community by:

1. Providing opportunities and resources for Daly City teen residents

2. Promoting education, healthy living, and social awareness

3. Preparing teens for the future through community outreach, events, workshops, and related activities

Over time, the Committee struggled to maintain a quorum due to extracurricular commitments and scheduling conflicts, including after-school sports. As regular attendance declined, enthusiasm and engagement diminished, resulting in the Committee becoming inactive.

At prior City Council Budget Priorities Study Sessions, it was identified that the Youth Advisory Committee be transitioned into a Youth Commission. Given the challenges discussed above, staff now proposes repealing and replacing Daly City Municipal Code Chapter 2.20 (Recreation Commission) to include one Youth Advisory Member (“Youth Commissioner”) and an alternate.

Youth Commissioners must be residents of Daly City, between 13 and 17 years of age at the time of appointment and enrolled in middle school and/or high school. They will serve in an advisory capacity only and will not count toward the Commission’s quorum. Each Youth Commissioner shall serve at the pleasure of the City Council for a term of up to two years, and until their successor is appointed and qualified.

Summary/Conclusion
Staff recommends that the City Council Repeal and Replace Daly City Municipal Code Chapter

2.20 Recreation Commission.

Staff is available to provide any additional information desired by the Mayor or Councilmembers.

City Council Meeting Agenda Report Item # _____

Meeting Date: December 8, 2025

Subject: Public Hearing on Community Development and Housing Needs

Recommended Actions

1. Conduct a public hearing on community development and housing priorities for the City’s 2026-27 HUD Action Plan.

Background

Each year, the City of Daly City receives a federal grant of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME funds from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The CDBG funds are to be used to meet community development and housing needs, such as affordable housing, public services, and infrastructure improvements that primarily benefit low and moderate- income residents. Additional funds are anticipated from estimated unspent Fiscal Year (FY) 25-26 funds at year-end and anticipated program income from housing rehabilitation loan payments during the program year. Together, these comprise available CDBG funds for FY2026-27, which starts July 1, 2026. In addition to the CDBG funds, the City also receives HOME funds directly from HUD that may be used solely for housing activities. The CDBG and HOME allocations for FY26-27 have not yet been determined. For reference, the City was allocated $929,286 and $272,965.83 in CDBG and HOME funds, respectively, in FY25-26.

Discussion

CDBG and HOME
There has been much uncertainty and delays in the implementation of the City’s current FY25-26 Action Plan as a result of changes at the federal level. New policies were included in the FY25-26 HUD Funding Agreement and the Funding Agreement has not yet been signed by HUD. As staff is waiting to execute contracts with its FY25-26 CDBG subrecipients, it must start preparing for its FY26-27 One-Year Action Plan.

The FY26-27 One-Year Action Plan will specify CDBG and HOME funding levels to be allocated to various housing and community development activities for the next fiscal year. This Public Hearing will begin the citizen participation and planning process required in the preparation of the City's FY26-27 HUD One-Year Action Plan, the fourth year of the current five-year HUD Consolidated Plan. As specified in the City's Community Participation Plan, this hearing on community development and housing needs provides citizens the opportunity to participate in planning, implementing and assessing the CDBG and HOME programs. It is the first of two Public Hearings, preceding the second hearing in April 2026 when the City Council allocates the City's CDBG and HOME funds to specific projects and programs. FY26-27 is the second year of a two- year CDBG funding cycle, and grantees awarded in FY25-26 may be considered for contract renewal as long as they are satisfactorily performing under their current contract, and pending

availability of FY26-27 CDBG funds. The City will not be issuing Request for Proposals for Community Development Block Grant funds for FY26-27.

The City’s current Five Year HUD Consolidated is for the planning period beginning July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2028. The Consolidated Plan identified several goals to be addressed with CDBG and HOME funds, and the Annual Action Plans identify the activities to implement the goals.

Attachment A shows the current FY25-26 CDBG allocations. The Consolidated Plan goals are summarized below.
• Develop new affordable rental units
• Fund residential accessibility improvements
• Affirmatively further fair housing
• Provide Residential Rehabilitation Program
• Provide Public Services
• Provide Public Services for the homeless
• Encourage economic development
• Maintain, provide and improve public facilities

Summary/Conclusion

Staff requests that the City Council conduct the public hearing to receive comments on housing and community development needs to inform the FY26-27 Annual Action Plan. Notice of this hearing was published in the Examiner and was made available on the City’s website, the City Clerk’s Office, the libraries, and the Community Service Center.

Staff is available to provide any additional information desired by the Mayor or Councilmembers.
