SUBJECT: RATIFICATION OF PROCLAMATION OF LOCAL EMERGENCY
BY THE CITY MANAGER RELATED TO RANSOMWARE
ATTACK
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution ratifying the Proclamation of Local Emergency issued by the City Manager of the City of Foster City related to ransomware attack.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On March 19, 2026, the City’s network was attacked by an external actor in the form of a ransomware attack, and this attack caused network access to become unavailable, which significantly interferes with City staff’s ability to conduct business and provide services.
As a result of the conditions of disaster, the City Manager, in his capacity as Director of Emergency Services, determined that a “local emergency”1 existed and issued a Proclamation of Local Emergency on March 19, 2026. (See Attachment 1.) The City Clerk’s Office provided written notification of the Proclamation to the appropriate departments within San Mateo County and the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services pursuant to Government Code 8607.
1 As that term is defined in Section 2.40.020 of the Foster City Municipal Code (“FCMC”).
4.1 4.1 Staff Report
4 4924-8878-8377 v1
5 4
4 Pursuant to Government Code section 8630(b), the City Council must ratify the Proclamation of Local Emergency within seven days of its issuance.
Public Contract Code 22050 and Chapter 3.04 of the FCMC provide that during an emergency, a public agency, pursuant to a four-fifths vote of its governing body may take immediate action required by that emergency to procure the necessary equipment, services and supplies without giving notice for bids to let contracts. Under Public Contract Code 22050 the local agency must review the need for continuing the emergency at every regular meeting until the emergency is terminated.
The City Council is now being asked to ratify the Proclamation of Local Emergency issued on March 19, 2026 so that the City may be potentially eligible to receive governmental aid for the emergency response.
California Environmental Quality Act
The ratification of the Proclamation is not a project within the meaning of Section 15378 of CEQA Guidelines because it has no potential for resulting in either a direct or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, either directly or ultimately.
FISCAL IMPACT
The City has incurred certain costs in responding to the attack, including overtime for staff, although the exact amount is not yet known.
Ratification of the Proclamation will facilitate the ability for the City to request resources including financial support and reimbursement from the State and other governmental agencies for costs incurred in response to this emergency

SUBJECT: FY 2026-27 AND FY 2027-28 BUDGET OVERVIEW AND
SCHEDULE
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The FY 2026-27 and 2027-28 biennial budget review and approval process continues with the March 23, 2026 budget study session and ends with final budget adoption scheduled for June 15. Notably, this review cycle will differ from prior budgets as follows:
Biennial Budget: Based on the discussion at the February 10, 2026 Council Retreat, staff is preparing a two-year budget for review and approval. Separate Park Fees: In order to provide sufficient time to establish appropriate rates for the new Community Center, the portion of the Master Fee Schedule that relates to the Parks & Recreation Department will trail the rest of the schedule by approximately one month.
No New Utility Rates: The five-year water and wastewater rates approved in the prior budget are sufficient to meet the forecasted operating and capital needs of each enterprise and no new rates are required. However, the pass-through costs of wholesale water from the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) will be presented in an informational item in April and the full rates, including those pass-through costs, will be subsequently noticed to customers.
BACKGROUND
This City has 70 funds, which generally serve one of three basic functions:
5.1 5.1 Staff Report
10 Operating Funds are for annually recurring costs (primarily personnel, supplies, and contracting expenses). Appropriations expire at the end of the fiscal year. Capital Funds support one-time construction projects; appropriations do not expire.
Internal Service Funds are for irregular costs such as vehicle replacement.
These funds allow us to take predictable annual contributions from operating funds and save up for these irregular expenses.
The linkages between these fund types are shown in the simplified illustration below.
From March through June, the Council reviews different components of the budget, with final approval of the full two-year budget package on June 15. The schedule below presents the estimated dates of the steps between now and budget adoption:

SUBJECT: FIVE YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM – FY 2026- 2027 TO FY 2030-2031
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council/EMID Board of Directors review the proposed Five-Year Capital Improvement Program – FY 2026-2027 to FY 2030-2031 - and authorize City/District staff to include the program in the FY 2026-2027 and FY 2027- 2028 budget as presented, adjusted, and recommended.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
As part of the City/District’s Budget process, City/District staff prepares a Five-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) consisting of projects to maintain and enhance the City/District’s infrastructure of roadways, sidewalks, utilities, structures, parks, and facilities for the benefit of the community. Because the costs of such improvements are usually significant, the five-year capital improvement plan (Plan) anticipates future costs and sets forth a financial strategy to fund each project over a five-year period.
The proposed Plan for the period starting FY 2026-2027 is comprised of fifty-seven (57) projects that require future funding, including additional funding for fifteen (15) previously authorized projects and forty-two (42) new projects over the five-year term.
5.2 5.2 Staff Report
13 Attachment 1 provides status updates of currently open projects and project descriptions for projects recommended for funding in the five-year CIP period. Table D of Attachment 1 lists all sixty-nine (69) active and proposed CIPs, including the fifty-seven (57) projects that require future funding in the five-year capital improvement plan.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The proposed FY 2026-2027 to FY 2030-2031 CIP plan consists of fifty-seven (57) projects to be funded over the next five years from various funding sources. The plan is organized into the following categories: Building, Parks, Stormwater/Lagoon, Levee, Streets/Traffic, Water, and Wastewater. While the Capital Improvement Plan forecasts projects for a five- year period, the City Council typically approved appropriation of funding on an annual basis only. This year, staff is bringing forward a two-year budget and recommending approval for appropriations in FY 2026-2027 and FY 2027-2028.
Table 1 below provides a summary of the FY 2026-2027 and FY 2027-2028 projects that are recommended for appropriation and their identified funding sources.

28 THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT BUDGETING PROCESS
As part of the City’s Budget and Five Year Financial Plan process, the City prepares a Five Year Capital Improvement Project Program. A Capital Improvement Program consisting of several Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) is a plan for capital expenditures to provide for the acquisition, expansion or rehabilitation of an element of the City's physical plant to be incurred over a fixed period of several future years. Examples of such projects include:
• Street pavement projects
• City facilities construction / refurbishment
• Park infrastructure improvements (e.g., paving sport courts, constructing or maintaining walkways, or rehabilitation of park facilities)
• Water valve or pipe replacement
• Sewer Lift Station refurbishment
Because the costs of such improvements are usually significant, the Five-Year Capital Improvement Project Program is a useful tool for anticipating and planning for future costs and developing funding strategies for projects.
CIP Planning Process
Identifying CIP Projects
Throughout the fiscal year, City staff members monitor the functional status and performance of the City’s infrastructure elements. Maintenance activities are documented and analyzed to determine if rehabilitation or replacement is necessary. In addition, the City Council may provide policy direction to construct, enhance or rehabilitate City facilities. Based on these inputs, Staff begins to define the scope, nature and extent of projects. Projects on the previous year’s Five-Year CIP Plan are reviewed and updated and new recommended projects are defined.
Cost Estimates
Upon identifying the scope and nature of each project, staff prepares cost estimates of the projects.
Projects which come up within the next 1-2 years have detailed engineers’ cost estimates prepared.
Projects which are 3-5 years out have less detailed cost estimates, but are sufficient in detail to give an overall order-of-magnitude cost estimate for planning purposes.
The cost estimates include an inflationary factor in a range of 2% to 10% per year for projects that are in years 2-5 based upon the historical trends and future expectations of raw materials and labor costs for projects. Cost estimates also include contingency factors that can range from 10% to 25% based upon the historical experience of similar projects and the relative uncertainty with respect to the project itself.
For example, a construction project built upon ground that is suspected to have hazardous materials may yield a higher contingency factor than a relatively simple replacement of walkways.
Funding Sources
Once the costs and timing have been identified and projected, a financial analysis is prepared to determine whether the projects can be funded. Consideration is given to a variety of sources of funds including:
• Grant funds
• Revenues dedicated for such purposes (e.g., Measure A funds for street improvements) • Park In-lieu fees
• Water and Wastewater rate revenue
• Interest earnings
• Existing undesignated funds

5.2 Attachment 1 - Proposed Capital Improvement Program DRAFT
29 Development of Five-Year Plan
The recommended timing of projects in the plan takes into consideration many factors including:
• Status of the existing infrastructure
• Risk management considerations
• City Council policy priorities
• Staffing/staff workload
• Bidding environment
• Available funding
The City Council considers the draft plan at a Study Session that is typically held in late March. The City Council provides direction on each of the projects and any changes are incorporated into a revised plan that is reviewed by the Planning Commission for consistency with the General Plan. Any updates requiring further discussion are provided once again to the City Council at a Budget Study Session, typically held in May.
The City Council then holds a Public Hearing on the budget as a whole, which includes the Five-Year CIP Plan, normally in June. Subject to any public testimony and final Council direction, the final Five-Year CIP Plan is prepared, and the project costs associated with any projects which are funded in the next two fiscal years are appropriated by the City Council as part of the adoption of the Budget.

LIBRARY EXTERIOR IMPROVEMENTS AND RE-LANDSCAPING (2017-2018) Project Category: C
Project Description:
Staff have cured prior water intrusion issues by removing soil away from the northwest wall of the building and re-landscaping the northwest area in-house into an attractive drought tolerant and water efficient habitat garden to attract pollinators such as butterflies and hummingbirds. Funding from this project was further utilized in FY 2024-2025 to improve the curb ramps at the front of the Library/Community Center building to current Americans with Disability Act (ADA) standards.
This project will complete the Library building exterior improvements on the southwest side of the building.
This project will provide for the removal of soil away from the southwest wall of the building, installation of wall drains and drainpipes, re-grading of soils around the exterior of the building and the construction of a path through the south end that connects to the existing path within the habitat garden on the north end.
The roots of the trees adjacent to the north wall of the library could contribute to water intrusion as well as eventual long-term damage to the building structure and nearby utilities. This CIP would provide funding to investigate the extent of root intrusion and propose options to root prune and/or remove the trees.
In 2027, staff plan to seal the southwest side of the library wall. A consultant will develop project plans and specifications to install appropriate drainage from the building and incorporate landscape improvements.

HVAC IMPROVEMENTS IN CITY BUILDINGS (2018-2019)
Project Category: B
Project Description:
Due to the age and capacity of the Heating/Ventilation/Air Conditioning (HVAC) at the City Council Chambers, City Hall, the Fire Department Station, the Corporation Yard Administration Building, the Police Station and the Vibe Teen Center, the existing systems need to be replaced and upgraded. The HVAC systems in all these buildings are over 20 years old and have reached the end of their useful lives.
Originally, CIP 301-685 consisted of the replacement of HVAC systems at two (2) buildings: the Government Center (City Hall, Police Station, and Fire Station) and the Corporation Yard Administration Building. However, due to the current state of the HVAC systems in the City Council Chambers and the Vibe Teen Center, it was determined to accelerate the replacement of HVAC components in these two (2) buildings and include them in CIP 301-685.
The project now includes:
1. City Hall / Fire Station
: Replacement of three (3) HVAC rooftop package units (RTU’s) and five (5) Variable air volume (VAV) boxes. The existing Fire Department HVAC unit will require special demolition due to the generator exceeding the enclosure door dimensions, and the presence of overhead structural beams.
2. Police Station: Replacement of two (2) RTUs
3. Corporation Yard Building: Replacement of existing HVAC system and relocation of package unit from the roof of the building to an enclosure outside of the Administration Building.
4. City Council Chambers : replacement and upgrade of four (4) air conditioning condensers.
Verification of the condition of and potential replacement of damaged or aged system parts such as boots and pans. Potential electrical update to accommodate new HVAC units.
5. Vibe Teen Center: Replacement of three (3) RTUs
6. A Citywide assessment of the HVAC control systems in the above buildings to determine whether any existing ductwork, vents, thermostats, other HVAC equipment need to be replaced due to age or compatibility with new package systems.
A qualified professional will be engaged to perform an inspection of all facilities to establish the final scope of work prior to the preparation construction documents for bidding.

RENOVATE ELEVATORS IN CITY BUILDINGS (2022-2023)
Project Category: A
Project Description:
This project addresses replacing essential elevator components in elevators in City buildings in order to modernize their systems and bring them into full code and ADA compliance. The components are beyond their useful life and are experiencing an increasing number of failures. Many of the replacement parts for the existing elevator components are obsolete and are no longer produced; therefore, a more extensive renovation of the elevators is necessary, meaning that the existing components will be replaced with new and updated components.
The elevators to be addressed by this project are located in the City Hall, Fire Station, Community Center and Corporation Yard Administration Building.
Staff issued an RFP to solicit proposals from qualified consulting firms to provide professional services.
Award of a contract to Interactive Resources to provide an assessment of the elevators is scheduled for the February 17, 2026 City Council meeting. Design is expected to occur this summer with construction to follow in late Fall 2026.

INSTALL ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATIONS - CY (2025-2026) Project Category: B
Project Description:
The California Air Resources Board has passed its Advanced Clean Fleets regulations which mandate that cities electrify medium- and heavy-duty vehicles. The first step in adopting any significant electrification of the fleet is to invest in the infrastructure necessary to power an electric fleet.
In November 2023, the City Council approved an agreement with Peninsula Clean Energy to participate in its Public EV Fleets Program “GovEV”. The GovEV program provides free technical assistance, project planning, and grant funding to public agencies for new municipal EVs and fleet charging infrastructure. As part of the PCE GovEV program, the City agreed to install municipal EV chargers. This project will implement charging stations and related infrastructure (like generators and/or additional electrical service) identified through the process.
Public Works staff has been actively working with Peninsula Clean Energy and its consultants to plan the City’s infrastructure needs at the Corporation Yard. A Civil designer will be onboarded to supplement the electrical design services being provided through PCE’s program.

REPLACE GOVERNMENT CENTER GENERATOR (FY 2028-2029)
Project Category: B
Project Description:
This project addresses the replacement of the existing emergency generator system, located in the Government Center staff parking lot. The emergency generator provides power to the Government Center’s essential facilities when power from PG&E is interrupted or shut down. The emergency generator was installed in 2001 during construction of the Government Center. While the generator is currently operating and functioning satisfactorily, it is reaching the end of its useful life and there is concern that due to its age, and observed wear, critical components may become obsolete or unavailable, increasing the risk of an extended outage or complete failure during an emergency.
An assessment will be performed to evaluate the condition and long-term suitability of the existing generator system. The assessment will also include an evaluation of the facilities served by the generator and will determine whether replacement of the existing generator can be in-kind or whether upsizing is necessary and feasible to serve additional facilities. The project will identify any infrastructure, electrical or site constraints associated with a potential upsized generator.

CORPORATION YARD FENCE REPLACEMENT/REHABILITATION (FY 2027-2028) Project Category: B
Project Description:
This project will rehabilitate the existing Corporation Yard fence which has been damaged by saltwater corrosion from high winds. The fence was constructed in 1991 and extends approximately 1,500 feet along the perimeter of the City/District Corporation Yard on East Third Avenue and a portion along the west edge of Water Tank No. 4. It is an eight (8) foot high “woodcrete” structure (precast concrete fence that mimics the look of wood) that rests on a woodcrete retaining wall and foundation with built in drainage of varying depth. The fence serves as a protective barrier, ensuring the security of Parks, Public Works, and Fire Department equipment and vehicles and prevents unauthorized access from non-City personnel. Over the years corrosion has damaged the rebar within the fence which has compromised its structural integrity and made it vulnerable to weather events and forced entries. Staff has performed ongoing maintenance and repairs to address issues and multiple failures to the fence.
The project will assess the condition of the existing fence and provide either a new fence or replacement of deteriorated panels. Portions of the landscaping on the north side of the fence may need to be removed and replaced to allow access for construction.

TRANSPORTATION SAFETY SIGNALIZATION UPGRADES (FY 2020-2021) Project Category: A
Project Description:
The City’s traffic signal system was evaluated as part of the Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Intersection Evaluation Study (CIP 301-664). This part of the study focused on inventory of the existing traffic signal infrastructure network and identified opportunities to improve efficiency through either equipment or operations enhancements. This project is built upon recommendations from CIP 301-664 and will include the following tasks for design and construction.
1. Citywide Communications Upgrade
The City's existing traffic signal communications network is in need of an upgrade to help modernize its infrastructure. The current system operates over twisted-copper pair cables using 9,600-baud modems.
The communications upgrade will bring the City's network to current standards, which will allow more flexibility with traffic operations enhancements such as improving traffic flow along the East Hillsdale Boulevard, Foster City Boulevard, and Edgewater Boulevard corridors. Upgrade options may include wireless improvements, ethernet over copper upgrade with some cellular improvements, an upgrade to fiber optics to maximize broadband capabilities, or a hybrid approach.
2. Traffic Signal Field Hardware Upgrade
• Vehicle and Pedestrian Signal Heads Replacement
• Accessible Pedestrian Signals (APS) Replacement
• Traffic Signal Cabinets Upgrades or replacements and retrofits onto existing cabinet foundations • Battery Back-up System Upgrades
3. Traffic Signal Controllers Replacement
The traffic signal controller is considered the "brain" of the signalized intersection and processes detection inputs from the field and sends out signals to turn on and off the traffic signal indications. These field units communicate with the Central Computer System located in the Public Works Engineering office. The City uses a modern controller from Trafficware but the field hardware has reached the end of its useful life.
4. Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS) - Central Computer System Upgrade This component communicates to the traffic signal controllers and stores data for traffic signal timing development. A new system will provide an enhanced user interface.
Funding for the design and construction of this project will be provided by a combination of City CIP, Transportation Impact Fees, and state funds. Total funding in excess of $9 million may be required to implement and fully fund the design and construction of the traffic signal system upgrades. Construction of the project has been scheduled after FY 2025-2026 to allow for cash reserves from non-General Fund funding sources to accumulate.
The City needs to consider how best to upgrade its network and potentially introduce enhancement of additional City services. Due to the complexity of the project, Traffic Patterns, a professional traffic engineering firm will assist in developing a phasing plan to upgrade the existing systems. Traffic Patterns has inventoried the existing equipment and will be providing technical assistance to the City for procurement of a design consultant to prepare contract documents based on technical recommendations and the Phasing plan. Traffic Patterns will assist in the selection of the design consultant and will provide City of Foster City's FY 2026-27 Preliminary Budget Page 339

BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN IMPROVEMENTS (2026-2027)
Project Category: B
Project Description:
In January 2018, Fehr & Peers performed a Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Intersection Evaluation Study (CIP 301-664) to help the City evaluate the current traffic and transportation facilities and determine potential for improvements. As part of the study, Fehr & Peers performed an assessment for the four public schools that existed in Foster City at the time, to identify improvements to provide more comfortable bicycle and walking routes to school. The report describes citywide travel behavior trends for school trips and then provides a site assessment for each of the schools, including cost estimates for suggested enhancements. Some of the report recommendations have already been implemented.
In FY2025-2026, Fehr and Peers will complete the Foster City Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan (BPMP), which will incorporate and build upon previous studies. The master plan will outline improvements citywide, as well as specific priority projects.
This project builds on the projects identified in the Foster City BPMP and will advance the construction of one of the Plan’s priority projects. Following the plan adoption in Spring 2026, a consultant will be retained to review a specific project in the master plan, perform field inspections and traffic studies, and evaluate the potential to include complementary improvements such as green infrastructure. The development of project plans and specifications and an engineer’s cost estimate to construct the enhancements will follow.
An RFP for assessment and design will be issued in 2026. Construction is anticipated in 2027. Based on the results of the preliminary design study, a request for construction funding will be further refined.

STREET REHABILITATION (FY 2026-2027)
Project Category: A
Project Description:
Ongoing maintenance of the public streets is essential. This project is intended to repair/resurface public streets. To implement this ongoing program in the most cost-effective manner, a Pavement Management Program (PMP) is used. The Metropolitan Transportation Commission’s Pavement Management Technical Assistance Program (P-TAP) provides the City with various resources to better understand its pavement condition including the PMP. Through the P-TAP, pavement consultants are hired to inspect City streets and update the PMP database every two to three years. The streets selected for the next CIP project are determined primarily through the PMP program analysis. The program also helps determine the most cost-effective treatment to extend the life of the roadway. The normal repair methods include crack seal, slurry seal, dig-out repairs, and surface overlays.
The project also includes curb and gutter replacement and sidewalk repairs on the streets that are being repaired. Major improvements identified in the City’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan will be opportunistically applied based on project location and feasibility. Minor improvements such as sharrow symbols/legends will be incorporated in this project as appropriate. All improvements will be designed per the latest City and National Standards. This includes accessibility upgrades complying with the City’s ADA Transition plan and the application of red paint within 20 feet of the vehicle approach side of crosswalks as required by Assembly Bill 413 (AB413). All pavement work shall adhere to the requirements of the MRP3.0 (Municipal Regional Stormwater Permit) of the City’s NPDES (National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System) Permit that took effect on July 1, 2023.
As part of P-TAP, the City also receives a budgetary need analysis report based the most recent pavement inspections, treatment costs, and various budget scenarios. Based on the 2024 report, the ideal pavement strategy is to increase the network average Pavement Condition Index (PCI) from 78 to 83 and maintain it over a five-year period.
Federal and state transportation grant funding is used when available. Future multi-year funding is proposed to assure availability of local matching funds to maximize grant eligibility. Funding for the local share of the project will be provided by Measure A, Measure M, Gas Tax, SB 1 and/or Measure W sources.

FIRE AND RESCUE BOAT RAMP REHABILITATION (FY 2028-2029) Project Category: B
Project Description:
The existing fire and rescue boat ramp provides access to the San Francisco Bay from the northeast tip of Mariner’s Point/north of Baywinds Park. The fire and rescue boat ramp is primarily used as a launching point for water rescue operations.
The purpose of the project is to remove and replace the existing ramp at the northern tip of Mariner’s Point to improve accessibility for fire and rescue. The improvements will include temporary shoring, dewatering, demolition of the existing ramp, excavation and backfilling, and construction of various ramp improvements.
The boat ramp rehabilitation was originally included in the City’s Levee Improvement Project (designated as Access Point #1), but the existing conditions discovered upon excavation were causing complications with the overall build per plan. It was determined that the re-design and construction could potentially delay the delivery of the project as well as the re-opening of the Phase 3 portion of the Levee. As a result, this portion of the scope of work was removed from the levee project.

The streets selected for the next CIP project are determined primarily through the PMP program analysis. The program also helps determine the most cost-effective treatment to extend the life of the roadway. The normal repair methods include crack seal, slurry seal, dig-out repairs, and surface overlays.
The project also includes curb and gutter replacement and sidewalk repairs on the streets that are being repaired. Major improvements identified in the City’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan will be opportunistically applied based on project location and feasibility. Minor improvements such as sharrow symbols/legends will be incorporated in this project as appropriate. All improvements will be designed per the latest City and National Standards. This includes accessibility upgrades complying with the City’s ADA Transition plan and the application of red paint within 20 feet of the vehicle approach side of crosswalks as required by Assembly Bill 413 (AB413). All pavement work shall adhere to the requirements of the MRP3.0 (Municipal Regional Stormwater Permit) of the City’s NPDES (National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System) Permit that took effect on July 1, 2023.
As part of P-TAP, the City also receives a budgetary need analysis report based the most recent pavement inspections, treatment costs, and various budget scenarios. Based on the 2024 report, the ideal pavement strategy is to increase the network average Pavement Condition Index (PCI) from 78 to 83 and maintain it over a five-year period.

LAGOON PUMP STATION REHABILITATION AND CAPACITY ENHANCEMENT (NEW NAME) (2023-2024)
Project Category: A
Project Description:
This project (formerly two separate CIPs, (CIP 301-717) Add Third & Fourth Lagoon Pump & (CIP 301-718) Lagoon Pump Station Building Rehabilitation) includes structural improvements, structural rehabilitation, installation of two new pumps and engines, and replacement of associated appurtenances to the Lagoon Pump House. This includes seismic strengthening of the building walls; replacement of the lagoon and bayside walkways; replacement of the lagoon trash racks, discharge slide gates, and discharge flap gates; along with various concrete repairs. It will also involve the removal of the remnants of two lagoon pump engines, impellers, shafts, and associated plumbing that were abandoned in place when the current pumps were installed in 2001. These steps will enable the installation of third and fourth lagoon pumps in these newly vacant pump bays. Additionally, the project will investigate options for de- silting the existing culvert that runs underneath E. 3rd Avenue in the aft bay of the lagoon pumps to ensure maximum discharge flow from the Pump Station.
The Lagoon Pump Station, located at the City/District’s Corporation Yard, houses two operational engines/pumps that pump lagoon water into the Bay to control the water level of the interior lagoon.
Constructed in the early 1960s, it is one of the oldest City-owned buildings. Water flows through the wetwells under the lagoon pump station building and is then pumped into the Bay. Severe concrete spalling has been noted in some locations on the building, leading to weakened load-bearing capacities and increased vulnerability to seismic activity. These issues compromise the structural integrity of critical elements, potentially reducing the building’s safety and lifespan. Furthermore, numerous structural code changes have been adopted since the building's design, necessitating upgrades to bring this critical building up to code and increase its seismic resilience. This project will include a seismic analysis of the building and recommendations for structural improvements to meet current standards and ensure the facility remains resilient during a seismic event.
In addition to the structural issues at the Lagoon Pump House, there are pumping capacity and redundancy concerns. Studies have shown that from 1974 to 2019 severe storms have become more frequent and grown in intensity due to climate change effects . During significant storm events, both lagoon pumps have occasionally been in operation while the lagoon level continued to rise. This problem is expected to worsen with sea level rise and the increased severity of atmospheric rivers predicted due to climate change. This project will add a third and fourth pumps to the station, providing redundancy to reduce flooding risks in the event of a failure of either of the two existing pumps during severe storms and high tide conditions. The project will retrofit all four bays’ trash racks: two currently lack racks, and the other two have a known deficiency of a three-foot opening between the bottom of the trash rack and the base of the intake structure. Additionally, the existing flap gates, slide gates, and tide gates in the two old bays are beyond their service life and require replacement.
The two existing and operational lagoon pumps were replaced in 2001 and are 25 years old. Although the useful life is approximately 35 years, if one were to fail, it could take several weeks to repair. In recent years, there have been incidents in which debris such as tires, etc. have caused a pump to fail. If this were to occur during a storm event, it could have devastating impacts. Adding a third and fourth pump would allow for uninterrupted operation, redundancy, staggered replacement of the lagoon pumps, and provide maximum protection against the potential for flooding and property damage.
In FY 2024-2025, the City received a $1.3M grant from FEMA for this project. Acceptance of these funds place the project under the requirements of the Code of Federal Regulations which require submittals to FEMA, including but not limited to a Hydraulics Study, Benefit Cost Analysis, and Environmental City of Foster City's FY 2026-27 Preliminary Budget Page 348

85 Documentation, any of which may slow down the pace of the overall project. This $1.3M reimbursement grant will ultimately offset City appropriated funds.
In July 2024, BKF prepared a Basis of Design Report which summarized existing relevant studies and related documents pertaining to the Lagoon Pump Station, structurally assessed the building and recommended retrofit improvements, preliminarily assessed the need for a third and fourth pump, and identified improvements to the building,
Design commenced in June 2025, with a complete set of Plans and Specifications anticipated to be ready for bidding by fall 2026. Construction is anticipated to take place over the course of multiple years, due to restricted “in water” work windows, and operational constraints (for closure of the pump station) during the wet season.

LAGOON INTAKE STRUCTURE REHABILITATION (2024-2025)
Project Category: A
Project Description:
The City’s lagoon system intakes water via three pipes and a system of gates on the southern end of the City near Wheel House Lane. The interior structure, built in the late 1960s, has some deficiencies that are in need of repair and require further investigation to better understand the extent of necessary repairs.
The overall structure consists of an intake structure with three, 42-inch slide gates, three 42-inch reinforced concrete pipes that run from the bay to the lagoon under Sea Cloud Park, and an outfall structure with three 42-inch flap gates. The flap gates have exceeded their useful life and are in need of replacement to ensure they work as designed. Concrete spalling has been noted on the outfall structure which needs to be investigated to see the extent of repairs needed.
Permits for this work are likely needed from both the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) and the United States Army Corps of Engineers. (USACE). While these permits are not expected to place onerous restrictions on the project, they will take around 6 months to obtain and will restrict the working window for the project and will impact project delivery time.
A preliminary investigative study performed by Freyer and Lauretta in Fall 2025, identified three feasible repair/replacement alternatives. A corrosion assessment is required before recommending which alternative to pursue (new vs. rehabilitation). This final assessment will also inform the timing for construction-- whether it needs to occur immediately or can be performed within the next 5 years. This will be followed by engineering design and construction.

LEVEE SHEET PILE WALL COATING (2027-2028)
Project Category: A
Project Description:
A majority of the City’s levee system is comprised of a hybrid sheet pile wall that includes a steel sheet pile with a concrete cap. The steel sheet piles were installed between 2022 and 2024, as part of the Foster City Levee Improvements Project. The design of the wall anticipated a degree of atmospheric corrosion for the exposed above ground portion of the sheet piles. Observed conditions along most of the alignment are generally consistent with those expectations. However, a segment north of the San Mateo bridge is experiencing atmospheric corrosion at a rate that appears higher than the remainder of the wall. Based on the orientation of this segment; it is directly exposed to winds from the bay and is subject to more marine spray than other portions of the sheet pile wall, targeted mitigation measures have been recommended that include installation of a protective coating. A permit for this work is likely needed from the Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC).

LARGE WATER VALVE REPLACEMENT (2026-2027)
Project Category: B
Project Description:
This project is part of the District’s ongoing program of maintaining and upgrading the water system through the installation of new valves, replacement of existing valves (8-inches and larger) and various improvements to the water system to improve reliability and minimize service impacts to customers.
Valves included on the replacement list either leak, no longer function properly, or have reached the end of their useful life. The valves are discovered primarily through exercising valves during maintenance activities and pipe isolation work. Additionally, valves may be identified through the water main / fire hydrant flushing program when performed. Valves are also added to the project by inspecting the system and identifying the need for additional isolation valves to provide more reliable service to customers.
This on-going program helps keep the water distribution system in good condition to allow the provision of reliable service to the community. The program may include strategic use of line-stop technologies to minimize water service interruptions to large blocks of customers during the construction period.

PERMANENT EMERGENCY BYPASS TRANSMISSION MAIN ON E. THIRD AVE. (2025-2026) Project Category: A
Project Description:
This project will improve water supply reliability and redundancy and minimize water service interruptions in a catastrophic seismic event. The District’s 24-inch water transmission main pipeline is the sole source of potable water for the City and is attached to the Seal Slough Bridge. Seal Slough Bridge was built in the 1930’s and is used as a pedway only. The bridge is aging and could fail in the event of a seismic event and with it, the District would lose its primary water supply.
As part of CIP 636 Water System Improvements and Valve Replacements Project, two 12-inch emergency water bypass connections, with isolation valves and fittings, were constructed on the transmission main beyond the ends of the bridge to provide a means of restoring water service quickly in the event of the bridge and pipeline failure. As part of the project 1,250 feet of 12-inch temporary bypass piping was purchased and is being stored at the District’s Corporation Yard. This pipe can be assembled by staff quickly (within 1-2 days) in an emergency to restore flow until the transmission main can be repaired.
This project provides for the construction of a permanent bypass pipe to be attached to the adjacent bridge on East Third Avenue and joined at the second bypass connection that was constructed as part of CIP 636. Acquisition of environmental permits for construction over the slough and coordination with the City of San Mateo will be required. The permanent bypass pipe would provide a redundant water supply immediately and increase speed of response during an emergency.

ASSESSMENT OF CATHODIC PROTECTION ANODE BEDS (2026-2027) Project Category: B
Project Description:
There are a total of six (6) Impressed Current Cathodic Protection (ICCP) systems installed to protect the District’s steel transmission main and distribution mains from corrosion/rust. Additionally, there are three (3) ICCP systems installed to protect each of the District’s three 4-million-gallon steel water storage tanks.
Each ICCP is comprised of a rectifier (controllable DC power supply), anode beds(s) and connections from the rectifier negative output terminal to the pipeline or structure being protected.
Continuing maintenance of the cathodic protection system is required to ensure sufficient protection is maintained on the structures in order to prevent external corrosion while maintaining the water system infrastructure. District staff takes readings of the rectifiers on a monthly basis and annually tests the effectiveness of the existing cathodic protection system throughout the distribution system, replacing and adjusting the levels of the rectifiers as necessary. An assessment of the cathodic protection systems was performed in 2006 by Corrpro and determined that there was approximately 20 years of useful life left in the existing anode beds studied.
This project will provide a condition survey of the anode beds associated with each impressed current cathodic protection system and make recommendations for replacement as needed. Based on the improvements required by the survey, a construction budget will be identified, and a funding request will be brought back to the City Council.

WATER TANK LINING AND STRUCTURAL RETROFIT (2027-2028)
Project Category: A
Project Description:
This project consists of full interior lining (coating) and structural retrofit of the roof rafters and center columns of the District’s three 4-million-gallon steel water storage tanks. The tanks are located at the District’s Corporation Yard. Steel water tanks must be coated on a regular basis, roughly every 15-20 years, to ensure they do not corrode, which could lead to structural deterioration or leaks that may render the tanks unusable.
A 2020 condition assessment was conducted on the three tanks by two consultants: Villalobos & Associates and CSI. The assessment consisted of inspecting the tanks’ interior and exterior coating and cathodic protection systems. The consultants recommended replacing the coating systems in all three of the District’s tanks with order of importance being the exterior, then the interior of the tanks. Due to the prohibitive cost of fully recoating the interior and exterior of all tanks, the District split this work with the full exterior coating and portions of interior coating and spot repair being performed as part of CIP 405-660 Water Tanks & Facilitates Improvement Project. The full interior coating will be completed as a part of this project.
While working on the tanks during CIP 405-660, the extent of corrosion encountered on the roof rafters in the interior of the tanks ranged from moderate to severe, with some portions of the roof rafters requiring immediate replacement. The most severe corrosion observed on all three tanks, was located at the top of the center columns, near the center vents. The center column is the landing for all rafters, is a vital structural element, and likely subject to the most corrosive conditions within the tank. This project will retrofit the center column to be moved away from the roof vent and permanently relocate the rafters away from the vent as well.
Initially, the design team will review the photographs and inspection data collected during CIP 660 to understand the extent of corrosion present and determine whether any additional investigation is needed to inspect the interior lining and rafter structure to develop the scope of repairs and rehabilitation. The design and construction for this work will be completed in two phases. Design and construction of the first two tanks (#2 and #3) followed by the last tank (#1), with the intent for construction to be staggered to ensure tanks are available for operations and to spread out costs.

WATER FACILITIES SEISMIC VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT (2028-2029) Project Category: A
Project Description:
This project will identify improvements needed at the Water Booster Pump Station located at the District’s Corporation Yard. The Water Booster Pump station houses four engines and pumps that are used to pump water from the District’s four storage tanks into the distribution system during periods of peak demand and to cycle the water in the storage tanks.
G&E Engineering Systems performed a seismic vulnerability assessment of the pump station, with a final report completed in September 2013. The identified improvements were completed in 2025 as part of CIP 660 - Water Tank Improvements Project.
In the Water Master Plan prepared by HydroScience in May 2021, it was recommended that the District perform a seismic vulnerability assessment of its critical infrastructure every 10-15 years to maintain compliance with current seismic code regulations.
This project will provide for an updated seismic analysis of the building including recommendations for structural improvements required to meet standards at the time of the analysis. Based on the analysis, a construction budget will be identified, and any additional funding requests will be brought back to the City Council.

24INCH MAIN REPLACEMENT (2027-2028)
Project Category: A
Project Description:
This project is part of the District’s ongoing program to maintain, rehabilitate, and improve the reliability of its potable water transmission system. The project consists of the replacement of approximately 1,500 feet of existing 24-inch Cement Mortar Lined and Coated Pipe (CMLC) transmission main with High- density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe.
The pipeline segment intended for replacement has experienced multiple maintenance issues and failures. Findings from the District’s Water Main Condition Assessment (CIP 723) indicate that the cathodic protection system serving this section of pipe is inactive, exposing the pipe to aggressive soil conditions and accelerating external corrosion. Corrosion testing conducted in this area indicates highly corrosive soils. These conditions have likely contributed to the degradation and repeated failures of the existing CMLC pipeline.
This project area is located upstream of Pressure Reducing Station 2 (PR2), located at the corner of Anchor Road and East Third Avenue. Failure of this transmission main upstream of PR2 would interrupt water service, as this is the sole supply of water to Foster City. Ensuring the integrity of this pipeline is critical to maintaining system reliability, public health, and fire protection capacity.
Continued repair of the pipeline is not a sustainable long-term solution. HDPE pipes are inherently resistant to corrosion and do not require cathodic protection, making it well suited to this soil environment.

COATING ON 24-INCH TRANSMISSION MAIN AT SEAL SLOUGH BRIDGE (2028-2029) Project Category: B
Project Description:
This project will address the application of exterior coating on the 24-inch transmission main attached to the Seal Slough Bridge. An inspection of the pipeline will be performed, followed by preparation of a technical memorandum recommending removal and coating alternatives, and regulatory permitting requirements, including cost estimates for the pipe preparation and coating application. Design and construction will follow.
The Foster City/EMID 24-inch water transmission main is attached to and runs along the length of the Seal Slough Bridge. This steel line is exposed to the elements of the bay. After years of exposure to sun and saltwater air along the bay shore, the original protective coating shows signs of age and corrosion and the pipeline requires recoating to prolong its life. This transmission line runs over the San Francisco Bay and will require procurement of regulatory permits for work over the waterway.

CHLORINE ANALYZERS AND AUTOFLUSHERS AT VARIOUS LOCATIONS (2028-2029) Project Category: B
Project Description:
This project will address implementing long-term technology solutions for the water quality issues that Foster City experiences in winter months. This project provides for the design and construction of chlorine analyzers and automatic flushers throughout Foster City.
EMID purchases water treated with a disinfectant agent (chloramine) from the SFPUC. Chloramine disinfection is more environmentally friendly than other disinfectant options but presents operational challenges for distribution system operators. If chloramine is allowed to remain in the distribution system for a lengthy period, the disinfectant can degrade, reducing the chlorine residual, adversely affecting water quality.
Successful water conservation efforts over the past years have reduced water demand, and as a result, water is subject to “aging” in the distribution system. In the winter months, when irrigation use is down and water demands are low, staff has observed chlorine residuals falling to actionable levels, forcing staff to flush hydrants to stimulate water circulation to increase the disinfectant levels in the water system. In 2022, staff performed an experiment to determine if irrigating sports fields at the furthest reaches of the system would improve system-wide disinfection levels. In partnership with the Parks Department, irrigation of City parks in strategic areas of the water distribution system was increased. This does improve residuals. More time is also needed to monitor and validate data following installation of mixers as part of (CIP 405-660) Water Tank Improvements project which was completed in summer 2025.
This project will install automatic flushers and chlorine analyzers at various key locations throughout the City. Chlorine analyzers will measure the level of disinfectant (chlorine residual) in the water in areas where water aging has been observed. When set thresholds are reached, the analyzers will trigger the automatic flushers to flush water through the system until the chlorine residuals are back to a non- actionable level. The installation of chlorine analyzers and automatic flushers will save staff time required to flush water mainlines manually, also saving City funds in labor costs.

LARGE WATER VALVE REPLACEMENT (2029-2030)
Project Category: B
Project Description:
This project is part of the District’s ongoing program of maintaining and upgrading the water system through the installation of new valves, replacement of existing valves (8-inches and larger) and various improvements to the water system to improve reliability and minimize service impacts to customers.
Valves included on the replacement list either leak, no longer function properly, or have reached the end of their useful life. The valves are discovered primarily through exercising valves during maintenance activities and pipe isolation work. Additionally, valves may be identified through the water main / fire hydrant flushing program when performed. Valves are also added to the project by inspecting the system and identifying the need for additional isolation valves to provide more reliable service to customers.
This on-going program helps keep the water distribution system in good condition to allow the provision of reliable service to the community. The program may include strategic use of line-stop technologies.

EMERGENCY GENERATOR REPLACEMENTS (FY 2021-2022)
Project Category: A
Project Description:
The project addresses the replacement of certain emergency generators and automatic transfer switches that are located at 10 of the District’s wastewater lift stations and are at the end of their useful lives.
Emergency generators power lift stations when power from PG&E is interrupted or shut down. The automatic transfer switch senses when PG&E power is interrupted and causes the emergency generator to turn on.
The 48 lift stations, as parts of the EMID sanitary sewer collection system, pump and convey sewage to receiving manholes at higher elevations. Emergency generators are located at EMID’s 14 major lift stations. Without emergency generators, in the event of a power outage, lift stations could fill with sewage and possibly overflow.
This project addresses replacing the emergency generator and automatic transfer switch (ATS) at Lift Stations 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 26, 29, 41 and 59 and the emergency generator only at Lift Stations 22. $1,415,000.00 in funding has been appropriated from the equipment replacement fund for this project.
In August 2022, the District Board approved a professional services agreement with Freyer & Lauretta, Inc. (F&L), for the design of three critical and complex generator replacements at LS 22, 29, and 59. A basis of design report was prepared to evaluate generator sizing, pad sizing, and siting for the generators at these three lift stations, of which LS 29 requires relocation of the generator system from inside the Bank of America Building to within an easement on the property, and permanent removal of an underground fuel tank. This project is being delivered in 3 construction phases due to regulatory requirements and long lead times on equipment procurement.
Phase 1- Underground Storage Tank Removal
In March 2025, staff decided to expediate the removal of the underground fuel tank located at Lift Station 29 ahead of the generator replacements due to its noncompliance with county codes and standards. An informal bid for the removal of the underground storage tank was solicitated on November 20, 2025, with Patriot Environmental Services (Patriot) emerging as the lowest bidder. A construction contract was awarded to Patriot on January 20, 2026. Construction is scheduled to begin in March/April.
Phase 2 – Replace 3 Generators (LS22, 29, & 59)
As part of the preliminary design, the estimated lead time for the new generator systems and accompanying ATSs was found to be 42 to 60 weeks. To minimize project delays, a pre-purchase package for LS 22, 29, 59 generators, ATS and associated equipment was released for bid in March 2024 and on August 19, 2024, the District Board approved the purchase agreement with Bay City Electric Works. While the systems are on order, F&L has continued to complete the preparation of the construction documents. Call for bids is scheduled for April, with construction to begin in June 2026.
Phase 3 – Replace 7 Generators (LS 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 26, & 41) An amendment to the existing contract with F&L was approved by the District Board on November 4, 2024, to include the design of the remaining 7 generators. The pre-purchase package for the remaining 7 Lift Stations (10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 26, 41) was released for bid on October 20, 2025. A purchase agreement was awarded to CD & Power (CD&P) on January 20, 2026. Design is occurring concurrently with submittal review for the generator purchase. The lead time for delivery of the remaining 7 generators varies from 5 to 8 months. Construction is anticipated to start in Winter 2026 following delivery of the generators, ATS and associated equipment.

SHELL BRIDGE SANITARY SEWER FORCE MAIN REHABILITATION (FY 2022-2023) Project Category: A
Project Description:
This project will address the rehabilitation or replacement of the 16-inch cast iron force main attached to the Shell Bridge. In February 2021, repairs were completed on a 12-inch diameter hole located on the top side of the pipe, that was identified during a routine maintenance inspection. At the same time the air release valve located on the force main at the high point on the bridge was also replaced.
The force main was originally constructed in the 1960s. The force main is a critical facility which delivers over 500,000 gallons of sewage (approximately one third of the wastewater generated in the District) daily to the San Mateo Wastewater Treatment Plant. The localized failure of the pipe and air release valve is due to the corrosive environment of wastewater and repeated exposure to hydrogen sulfide gas.
The City retained BKF Engineers to perform a preliminary condition assessment and feasibility study of the pipeline to determine if other portions of the main had similarly deteriorated. In May 2023, wall- thickness testing along the pipe span was performed and a report was prepared summarizing the investigation and current condition of the pipe. The condition assessment concluded that the recent failure was not an isolated event and rehabilitation or replacement is required to extend the useful life.
Based on the feasibility study, staff determined that installing a new force main parallel to the existing pipe using horizontal directional drilling is the preferred approach for rehabilitation.
The new force main will be installed beneath the lagoon. A design contract was awarded to Freyer and Lauretta on February 17, 2026.

SANITARY SEWER LIFT STATION IMPROVEMENTS - PHASE 6 (FY 2023-2024) Project Category: A
Project Description:
This project is part of a multi-phase program started in 2000 to rehabilitate EMID's sanitary sewer lift stations. The lift station improvement projects take place approximately every five years.
Lift stations pump wastewater from the low points in the collection system to manholes at higher elevations. The lift station improvement projects include preventative maintenance and upgrades to improve the reliability, durability, and sustainability of the lift stations. Phase 6 addresses deficiencies at Lift Stations 6, 9, 11, 13, 22, 29, 42 and 43. Lift station improvements generally include repairing the interior wet wells; replacing critical components, and electrical improvements including installation of additional systems to remotely monitor and control the lift stations.
Design for the project began in December 2025 and construction is anticipated to begin in Spring 2027.

SEWER REHABILITATION (FY 2026-2027)
Project Category: A
Project Description:
The project is a continuation of the District's on-going program to repair and replace components of the sanitary sewer collection system to extend the system’s useful life. The project consists of replacing 16 manholes identified in the Wastewater Collection System Master Plan and by staff through routine maintenance.
Replacement of manholes is typically required due to: (1) the settlement of manholes which adversely affects the connecting pipes and sewage flows; (2) the deterioration of the manhole due to the corrosive gas produced by sewage; and/or (3) the scouring of receiving manholes at the end of a force main, due to the velocity of wastewater pumped from the lift station via the force main pipeline.
These manholes operate as force main collectors, receiving wastewater flow from various lift stations.
During the condition assessment performed as part of the Wastewater Master Plan, Manholes 29-07, 18-01, 16-17, 14-02, 22-18, 22-19, 37-11, 29-31, 10-01, and 12-02 were witnessed to operate under turbulent conditions during force main discharge cycles. Additionally, staff has identified six (6) manholes located on trunk lines on East Hillsdale Boulevard, a major boulevard, and within busy intersections, adding complexity to their inspection and replacement: 29-08, 29-09, 29-10, 29-11, 29-12, and 29-13.
Replacement of these manholes and the intercepting piping will enhance station reliability and public safety.

OVERFLOW, REDUNDANCY, BYPASSING AND BACKUP POWER STUDY (FY 2028-2029) Project Category: B
Project Description:
Most EMID lift stations were constructed between the mid-1960s and the mid-1970s. The criticality of each existing lift station varies depending upon its relative position within the network, the expected flow rate of influent sewage, and the station’s existing structural and mechanical capacities. Various lift stations throughout the City are equipped with gravity overflow facilities or emergency generators to establish collection system redundancy and to prevent sanitary sewer overflows.
This project will provide for a complete system analysis to determine areas within the District’s collection system that are currently unprotected or minimally protected by existing overflow, redundancy, bypassing, and backup power features as identified in the Wastewater Collection System Master Plan completed in 2020. This analysis will take into consideration existing gravity overflow piping systems; permanent and portable emergency generators and connections and whether generator fuel capacity meets the minimum 12-hour run time requirements; and bypassing connections to identify collection system vulnerabilities in the event of a power outage and under wet-weather conditions.
This study will include an evaluation of Pump Station 59, the system’s largest pump station, including analysis of the wet well capacity, the force main capacity, and pumping capacity to identify existing or potential deficiencies. Preliminary observations indicate the wet well may be undersized, resulting in limited holding time during high flow events or unexpected power outages. During a power outage, the wet well is estimated to reach capacity within approximately 15–20 minutes, which is insufficient time for response and significantly increases the risk of sanitary sewer overflows. The study will assess existing flows, wet well volume and outage scenarios to confirm deficiencies and develop recommendations to improve storage capacity and reduce overflow risk.
This analysis will inform the identification of future improvements. A budget placeholder for design has been included that will be refined following the results of the study.

WASTEWATER MASTER PLAN (FY 2028-2029)
Project Category: B
Project Description:
The District’s wastewater infrastructure system was constructed in the early 1960’s. The wastewater system consists of nearly 62 miles of gravity sewer lines, 10 miles of force mains, and 49 pump stations.
All sewage is ultimately conveyed to the San Mateo Wastewater Treatment Plant, which is jointly owned by EMID and the City of San Mateo through a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA).
In 1993, Harris Consultants, Inc. completed the Sewer Force Main Master Plan and Inspection Program report for the District. In 2020, HydroScience completed the Wastewater Collection System Master Plan.
The report generated a prioritized 20-Year Capital Improvement Plan and funding approach, which identified projects to address the District’s most critical lift stations and collection system “hot spots” for rehabilitation.
The proposed Wastewater Collection System Master Plan Study will build upon the planning framework established in 2020, and will include an evaluation of the overall wastewater system. The general scope of work includes data collection and review, flow monitoring, hydraulic model development, system performance evaluation and improvement needs, condition assessment and rehabilitation/replacement program, seismic vulnerability assessment, review of the District’s General Plan for future growth, and recommendations for 20-Year Capital Improvement Plan Development.
The District currently has an active Capital Improvement Program (CIP) to rehabilitate its infrastructure.
By reviewing and analyzing existing system capacity and infrastructure to develop an analytical planning document, the District will have a means to identify deficiencies and prioritize improvements within the collection system. .

SANITARY SEWER LIFT STATIONS IMPROVEMENTS - PHASE 7 (FY 2028-2029) Project Category: A
Project Description:
The project is part of a multi-phase program started in 2000 to rehabilitate EMID's sanitary sewer lift stations. The lift station improvement projects take place approximately every five years.
The projects include preventative maintenance and upgrades to improve the reliability, durability, and sustainability of the lift stations. Lift stations in the District pump wastewater from the low points in the collection system to manholes at higher elevations.
The Phase 7 project addresses deficiencies at Lift Stations 36, 37, 38, and 39. The replacement of these lift stations will effectively remove the low capacity, capsule style, Gorman-Rupp dry deck lift stations which are mechanically unique and difficult to maintain for District maintenance staff. Removal of these outdated fiberglass dry deck stations will complete the conversion of all District lift stations to rail extraction, submersible pump style lift stations. Finalization of this conversion will establish uniformity across the District and ease the maintenance complexity for District staff. The project is expected to be a comprehensive replacement of all lift station features except the precast wet well, which will be equipped with a new traffic rated access hatch and concrete top.

FORCE MAIN CONDITION ASSESSMENT (2029-2030)
Project Category: B
Project Description:
The District’s wastewater infrastructure system was constructed in the early 1960’s. The wastewater system consists of nearly 62 miles of gravity sewer lines, 10 miles of force mains, and 49 pump stations.
Sanitary sewer force mains are critical pipelines that operate under constant pressure and are typically buried and out of sight. Because failures often occur without visible warning, relying solely on age or past performance does not provide adequate protection against unexpected breakdowns. A single force main failure can result in wastewater spills, traffic disruptions, regulatory violations, and significant unplanned costs.
In 1993, Harris Consultants, Inc. completed the Sewer Force Main Master Plan and Inspection Program report for the District. The report indicated that most of the force mains were in better-than-expected condition. While the District is not experiencing system wide sanitary sewer overflows or obvious signs of deficiencies, recent lift station capacity assessments have indicated issues with down-stream force mains.
Force main deficiencies can impact pump station hydraulics and lower the station’s overall pumping capacity. Furthermore, with the majority of pipes being asbestos cement pipe (ACP), the failure mechanism is sudden cracking and failure rather than a slow leak.
This assessment allows the District to evaluate the health of these pipelines before failures occur by reviewing existing records, observing surface conditions, and using non-destructive inspection methods to identify potential weaknesses. The results will identify which segments are in good condition, which require closer monitoring, and which may need repair or replacement.

SUBJECT: FIFTEEN YEAR GENERAL FUND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT
PROJECTS PROGRAM AND FUNDING PLAN FOR THE
PREPARATION OF THE CITY’S FISCAL YEAR 2026-2027 AND
2027-2028 BUDGET AND FIVE-YEAR FINANCIAL PLAN
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council receive and accept the City’s 15-year General Fund Capital Improvement Projects Program and its funding plan for the preparation of the City’s Fiscal Year 2026-2027 and 2027-2028 budget and 5-year financial plan.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In 2010, the City Council approved a funding strategy for its capital improvement projects (CIP) in the form of a Long-Term CIP Funding program. The current model uses a 15- year capital expenditure forecast and funds those forecasted needs on an annual basis.
Over these years, the prudent accumulation of CIP Fund resources is expected to yield approximately $22.8 million of undesignated Reserve Balance (inclusive of a $2 million emergency reserve) by June 30, 2026. Based on the annual forecasted CIP costs in the 15-year CIP, annual General Fund transfers to the City CIP Fund starting at $5.65 million and increasing by $150,000 per year will be needed to support these City CIP projects for the City 5-year Financial Plan.
5.3 5.3 Staff Report

7 To prepare the recommended CIP, staff reviewed and made modifications, as appropriate, to the funding amounts and timing of future projects. Projects have been analyzed in primarily two categories based on their separate funding sources:
City Capital Projects Fund (City CIP Fund) – includes projects such as bridges, lagoon structures, levees, parks, and buildings, which are funded from General Fund sources. Streets-Related Funding – includes streets and traffic signal projects, which are funded first through sources from Measure A, Gas Tax §2103, Measure M, SB 1 (Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account), and Measure W funds.
The analysis for City CIP Fund projects and Street-Related projects takes into consideration the existing fund balance resources projected to be available as of June 30, 2026, based on the latest estimates of CIP activity through the end of the current fiscal year and projected revenues available from applicable revenue sources. The analysis for the City CIP Fund ensures that the reserve balances stay above the minimum $2 million emergency reserve level, while the Streets-Related Funding analysis has no established minimum reserve level, since City CIP Funds can be drawn for those purposes if needed.
Total City CIP projects over the 15-year time horizon are increasing from $108.37 million to $113.2 million. Of the $113.2 million total, parks projects account for $47.7 million of the total, which includes $2 million in ancillary funding from Park In Lieu and Park Facility Infrastructure fees and $2.3 million from the City’s Internal Service Funds. Street projects total $39.43 million, of which $35.8 million are from Special Revenue Funds and $.48 million is from the Equipment Replacement Fund. Storm Water and Lagoon projects total $18.50 million from the City CIP fund. Building Projects total $7.5 million from City CIP and the City’s Internal Service Funds.
The Streets-Related Funding plan, which is based on a Pavement Management Technical Assistance Program (P-TAP) analysis, includes a $2.0 million annual expenditure over the 15-year plan in an effort to bring the City’s current 78 Pavement Condition Index (PCI) to 83 and maintain it at that level.
BACKGROUND
The City Council has made it a priority to ensure that the City’s infrastructure is well- maintained on an ongoing basis. Such proactive maintenance, repair, and replacement of infrastructure ensures that key systems are operating at peak levels, promotes safety, provides for a continuity of services to the community, maintains property values, and maintains the quality of life that the community has come to expect.
When the City was newer, capital improvement efforts focused heavily on the construction of new infrastructure. Now that the City is at build-out and over 50 years old, there has been a transition from new construction to proactive preventative infrastructure maintenance, which affects the types of projects and how those future CIP programs are funded to prioritize minimizing the potential for emergency repair situations.
5.3 5.3 Staff Report

7 Maintenance vs. CIP
Managing the City’s infrastructure manifests itself in the following ways:
Proactive Maintenance – The preventative maintenance efforts of Public Works and Parks Maintenance crews on an ongoing basis reduce the overall future costs of City infrastructure. These ongoing operating costs offset the magnitude and expense of future infrastructure replacement projects. New Infrastructure or Significant Infrastructure Replacement Projects – In some cases, there may be CIP projects that would create new infrastructure or projects that are considered so significant in nature that the entire infrastructure is replaced or built anew.
Recurring Capital Improvement Projects – Some CIPs are considered “recurring” and amount to significant repair work, such as street overlays, park turf replacement, and levee maintenance. The underlying infrastructure is still usable, but these larger maintenance efforts help extend the useful lives of that infrastructure.
The first category, Proactive Maintenance Activities, is budgeted in the Public Works and Parks and Recreation Departments' annual operating budgets in the General Fund.
In September 2012, the City Council approved City Resolution No. 2012-75, establishing a new Capital Asset Acquisition and Replacement Fund (CAARF), funded from the sale of the 11-acre site of the North Peninsula Jewish Campus and subsequent sale of the 15- acre site of the Foster Square project (Attachment 9). The CAARF may be used to fund the second category, major capital asset acquisition, construction and/or replacement, thus providing funding for the second category. The City Council provided direction in FY 2022-2023 to use $36 million from CAARF for the Community Center Rebuild project.
Projects in the third category, Recurring Capital Improvement Projects, are funded from either recurring revenue sources (e.g., Measure A, Gas Tax, Measure M, SB1, Measure W), or are otherwise funded from the City’s General Fund resources as transfers out to the City CIP Fund.
Exclusion of Enterprise Fund Assets
This report excludes the long-term CIP funding of Water and Wastewater system related projects for two primary reasons: (1) such projects are analyzed as part of the 15-year rate model process for each enterprise fund; and (2) the District Board can include such replacements when establishing water and wastewater rates. A separate report addresses the Water and Wastewater CIPs and capital funding.
ANALYSIS
5.3 5.3 Staff Report
115

7 Approach
Staff has updated the Long-Term CIP Funding analysis considering current maintenance efforts, assessment of replacement requirements, and replacement costs in the following seven (7) categories:
Streets – including pavement management efforts (e.g., arterial and collector street overlays) and sidewalks, curbs, and gutters. The Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan will inform possible additional projects. The draft 15- year CIP includes a placeholder for future Bicycle and Pedestrian improvements. Bridges – including bridges and approaches owned by the City, and only bridge approaches for overcrossings not owned by the City (i.e., E. Hillsdale Boulevard/Marina Lagoon overcrossing, Foster City Boulevard/92 Overpass, Vintage Park/92 Overpass)
Lagoon and Storm Water Structures – including bulkheads, dredging, boat ramps, culverts, inlets, storm water pumps, and the pump station building Levee – including the levee infrastructure
Parks – Park infrastructure including hardscapes, landscaping, restrooms, lighting, irrigation systems, and permanent park structures such as tennis and basketball courts. It also includes the medians and cul-de-sacs maintained throughout the City. Some of the projects that were identified in the Parks Master Plan that was approved by the City Council in December 2025 have been included in the Long-Term Funding analysis but will require further scope and approval at a future date.
Street Lights, Traffic Signal, and Crosswalk Systems – physical light and signal structures, controllers, and systems
Buildings – including the Government Center campus, Recreation Center campus, and the Corporation Yard (structures associated with parks are included in Parks above)
15-Year CIP Capital Improvement Projects Program and Key Changes from the Prior Year (Attachment 4)
The Capital Improvement Plan has been updated to best reflect the recommended projects needed in the 15-year term. Some key changes include the addition of new projects not previously included in the plan, removal of projects that are not anticipated to require additional funding in future years, and cost updates were based on increases being observed in the construction market.
Detailed information, summaries and calculations and listings of the 15-year projects are found in the attachments to this report.
Assumptions
Funding Sources
5.3 5.3 Staff Report

7 For each asset category, staff identified the appropriate funding source for major replacement and rehabilitation costs and assigned projects by type. Streets and traffic- related projects are programmed to Streets-Related revenue sources (e.g., Measure A, Gas Tax, Measure M, SB 1, and Measure W), while other facility, parks, lagoon, levee, and building projects are programmed to the City CIP Fund supported by General Fund transfers where no other funding source is available. When a CIP project includes components covered by dedicated internal service programs, such as the Building Maintenance Fund or the Equipment Replacement Fund, those component costs are reflected under the applicable funding source to align with established replacement schedules and avoid double counting. Projects with replacement values of a magnitude that would typically require debt financing (e.g., full facility rebuilds or major levee improvements) are excluded from this pay-as-you-go funding analysis and would be evaluated separately if pursued.
Expenditure Assumptions
Project cost estimates are based on the best information available at the time of estimation, recent experience on similar comparable projects, inflation, and staff judgement.
Revenue Assumptions
Key revenue assumptions that affect funding sources are as follows:
City Capital Projects Funding (Attachment 1)
Park-In-Lieu – $2.05 million is reserved from the Park-In-Lieu Fund Balance for improvements are recommended in the Park System Master Plan. Donations from Youth Sports Groups – $78,750 of donation reimbursements are included in revenue estimates over the next five years from various sports groups for the Sea Cloud Park projects are included in the 15-year CIP plan. Grants – The Public Works and Parks Department routinely seek grants to supplement funding of its projects, and Public Works staff have been actively engaged in discussions with the City’s lobbyist to identify funding sources and eligible projects for funding. Until grant funds are identified for various projects and are reasonably expected to be available, additional grant funds are excluded from this analysis.
Streets-Related Funding (Attachment 2)
Measure A – This is a sales tax-based allocation. A revenue projection of $ 968,300 for FY 2026-2027 and $997,300 for FY 2027-2028 are included, with 3% annual growth for the first five years and then held at the five-year average thereafter.
Gas Tax Section 2103 Funding – Revised estimates are based on the Gas Tax Swap legislation approved by the State in 2010, which swapped Prop 42 funding into the Gas Tax funding stream. Gas Tax (Sections 2105-2107)
5.3 5.3 Staff Report

7 revenues are used to fund Public Works street maintenance operations, but Section 2103 funds must be used for roadway improvements and other transportation initiatives. Revenues for FY 2026-2027 are estimated to be $315,900 and $323,800 in FY 2027-2028 based on forecasts from the State and projected to increase 2.5% per year for the first five years and then held at the five-year average thereafter.
Measure M – This measure, passed by voters in San Mateo County in November 2010, implemented a $10 fee added to vehicle license registrations of County residents for 25 years starting April 2011. Staff is projecting to receive $130,400 in FY 2026-2027 and $133,000 in FY 2027-2028 and projected to increase 2.0% per year for the first five years and then held at the five-year average thereafter. Funds are administered by C/CAG and are provided on a reimbursement-basis. These funds may be used for such things as pavement resurfacing, pothole repair, signs and striping, traffic signals, street sweeping, storm-inlet cleaning, and local shuttles.
SB 1 (Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account) – In 2017, the State passed the Road Repair and Accountability Act providing funding for local streets, roads, and other transportation uses. The funding was through a 12- cent per gallon increase to the gasoline excise tax and an additional 20-cent per gallon increase to the diesel excise tax, both of which took effect on November 1, 2017. An additional vehicle registration tax called “Transportation Improvement Fee” with rates based on the value of motor vehicles took effect on January 1, 2018. FY 2026-2027 SB1 revenues to the City are estimated at $840,000 and $882,000 in FY 2027-2028, with projected annual growth of 5% for the first five years of the plan and then held at the five-year average thereafter.
Measure W – Measure W was passed by the voters of San Mateo County in November 2018. The measure took effect on July 2019 and is estimated to bring approximately $434,700 to Foster City in FY 2026-2027 and $452,100 in FY 2027-2028 with projected annual growth of 4% for the first five years, and can be used to support traffic and traffic congestion relief related initiatives. Transportation Impact Fees – Development fees related to transportation are programmed into the CIP in the years in which they are anticipated to be received. Estimated amounts and timing are provided by the Community Development Department.
Grants – Until such time grant funds are identified for various projects and are reasonably expected to be available, grant revenues are excluded from this analysis.
15-Year Cash Flow Methodology
Foster City uses a funding methodology that looks at the total replacement value of assets which are scheduled to be replaced in the next 15-years and then averages the replacement amount over the 15-year window. The funding amounts are then compared to the available fund balance reserves and anticipated future revenues.

7 For the City CIP Fund, a minimum emergency reserve requirement for capital improvement projects is $2 million. There is no reserve requirement for Street-Related Funding. The analysis also takes into consideration the projected Fund Balance in the Park-In-Lieu Fund to ensure that those funds are only spent on projects related to new parks or projects that increase the capacity of park amenities.
To the extent that there are not sufficient resources available from reserves and projected future revenues to maintain minimum reserves in the respected funding analysis, a transfer is identified from the City’s General Fund to ensure that the minimum fund balance reserve is met each year.
City Capital Projects Funding
Public Works, in consultation with the Parks and Recreation Department, prepared the 15-year project list considering replacement value, timing, and necessity. As indicated in the attached analysis, City staff recommends annual transfers to the City Capital Projects Fund starting at $5.65 million and increasing by $150,000 per year until stabilizing at $6.55 million in FY 2032-33. This approach allows the City to maintain the minimum $2.0 million reserve and provide capacity for additional CIP projects.

FINANCIAL PLAN
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the EMID Board of Directors receive and accept the District’s 15-year Water and Wastewater Funds Capital Improvement Projects Program and its funding plan for the preparation of the District’s Fiscal Year 2026-2027 and 2027-2028 budget and 5-year financial plan.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In 2010, the EMID Board approved a funding strategy for its Water and Wastewater Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) in the form of a Long-Term CIP Funding program.
The current model uses a 15-year capital expenditure forecast and funds those forecasted needs on an annual basis. The District also generally refrains from using debt to finance its capital projects unless it is necessary because of the magnitude of the project (e.g., the Wastewater Treatment Plant project (WWTP).
5.4 5.4 Staff Report
131
The Capital Improvement Reserve balances, inclusive of the minimum $2.0 minimum emergency reserves in both the Water Fund and Wastewater Fund, are projected to be $7.16 million and $2.58 million respectively on June 30, 2026.
Based on the 15-year Water CIP assessment, City staff identified an annual funding need of $2.6 million in year 1 through 3, $1.8 million in year 4, then leveling off at $1.5 million for the remainder of the 15-year plan. In addition, a loan of $4.0 million may be needed in year 2 to fund the new Water Tank Lining and Structural Retrofit CIP. It is anticipated that the loan will be an interfund loan to the Water Enterprise Fund in order to minimize borrowing costs compared to debt issuance.
In the Wastewater Enterprise, staff has identified an annual funding need of $9.8 million in year 1, then $3.6 million for the next 5 years, and levelling off at $2.5 million for the remainder of the 15-year CIP Plan.
BACKGROUND
The EMID Board of Directors has made it a priority to ensure that the District’s infrastructure is well maintained on an ongoing basis. Such proactive maintenance, repair, and replacement of infrastructure ensures that key systems are operating at peak levels, promotes safety, provides for a continuity of services to the community, maintains property values, and maintains the quality of life that the community has come to expect.
In the District’s early years, capital improvement efforts were primarily focused on the construction of new infrastructure. Now that the District is at build-out, there has been a transition from new construction to infrastructure maintenance and replacement (e.g. the WWTP project). This affects how the District characterizes and funds future CIP programs.
Maintenance vs. CIP
Managing the District’s infrastructure manifests itself in the following ways:
Proactive Maintenance Activities – The preventative maintenance efforts of the District’s Maintenance crews on an ongoing basis reduce the overall future costs of District infrastructure. These ongoing operating costs offset the magnitude and expense of future infrastructure replacement projects.
Recurring Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) – Some CIPs are considered “recurring” and amount to significant repair work, such as pipe repairs, water valve replacements, and water tank lining and coating projects. The underlying infrastructure is still usable, but these larger maintenance efforts help to extend the useful lives of the underlying infrastructure.
Infrastructure Replacement/Construction Projects – Other CIPs are considered so significant in nature that the entire infrastructure is replaced or built anew. An example of this are the Lift Station rehabilitation projects and the WWTP project.
5.4 5.4 Staff Report
132
The District has historically considered the latter two categories (Recurring CIPs and Infrastructure Replacement/Construction) as Capital Improvement Projects, and has funded these projects out of specifically designated CIP funds within each respective Enterprise fund. The District has also incorporated long-term CIP projects in its rate models so that the burden of such projects can be planned for and incorporated into the rate structure to mitigate the impact on customers over a longer period.
ANALYSIS
Approach
The District hired Bartle Wells Associates (BWA) to confirm the water and wastewater rate model to include the fiscal impacts of the WWTP project on the Long-Term CIP funding analysis and in light of current maintenance efforts, assessment of replacement requirements, and replacement costs in the following categories:
Water System
Fire Hydrants – these important safety amenities are included in the water operations
Water Infrastructure – this includes pipes, valves, seismic retrofits, water tank improvements (not replacement), and other elements of the delivery of water from the point of the District’s water structures to delivery at customers’ properties Water Structures – this includes the four (4) water tanks and the booster pump station located at the Corporation Yard
Wastewater System
Pipelines – the primary means of collecting wastewater from customers and transporting it to the Wastewater Treatment Plant in San Mateo Valves – which serve as critical junction and shutoff points within the system Lift Stations – since Foster City is relatively flat, Lift Stations and their accompanying generators assist wastewater to flow through the system to the wastewater treatment plant where gravity would otherwise serve this purpose Parallel Force Mains – critical elements at key points that connect the wastewater system
Next, District staff considered the level of maintenance and serviceability of capital assets in order to determine the appropriate estimated useful lives of each asset. District staff also considered the relative costs associated with such maintenance to evaluate the cost- effectiveness of such maintenance efforts.
The Capital Improvement Plan has been updated to best reflect the recommended projects needed in the 15-year term. Changes include the addition of one (1) new water project and one (1) new wastewater project not previously included in the plan. Specific and detailed information about the calculations performed and the 15-year projects are found in Attachments 1 to 4 to this report.

Assumptions
Funding Sources
In each category of capital projects, initial assumptions were made about the funding sources of the various assets (typically enterprise operating fund transfers to the enterprise CIP Fund, equipment replacement fund, and/or development capacity fees).
If an asset’s replacement value was considered so significant that the only effective funding option was to use debt financing (in the form of bonds, federal and state programs, bank loans, etc.) those assets were excluded. The asset categories and their typical funding sources for the Water and Wastewater enterprise are as follows:
Water System
Fire Hydrants – hydrants do not typically call for replacement; operating funds are used to replace hydrants which are damaged or require repair Pipes and Valves – CIP funding is needed to replace, rehabilitate or repair various infrastructure elements such as pipes, valves, and other elements when necessary; system wide replacement of each element type is not anticipated short of a catastrophic event
Water Structures – water tanks have very long lives; lining in the three steel tanks requires CIP funding approximately every 15 years
Water Meters – funding for meters that are replaced as part of CIPs is included in the analysis. Some water meter replacements that are in the Equipment Replacement Fund or replaced during maintenance operations are not considered as part of this analysis
Wastewater System
Pipes – CIP funding for pipes requiring rehabilitation or repair; system-wide replacement of pipes is not anticipated short of a catastrophic event Valves – valve replacement costs are included in CIP plans. Lift Stations – lift station rehabilitation projects require CIP funding; generators, their transfer switches, and portable generators that are funded through Equipment Replacement funds and are not considered as part of this analysis Parallel Force Mains – force main replacement requires CIP funding Wastewater Treatment System (WWTP) – rehabilitation that San Mateo is undertaking under its 10-year integrated Wastewater Master Plan (Clean Water Program) for which the District will be responsible for its proportionate share of costs. Much of its costs are funded through debt financing with surplus working capital providing the balance of funding.
Expenditure Assumptions
Replacement values were reviewed and updated from the prior analysis as necessary.
All values were expressed in terms of future replacement, taking into consideration factors such as inflation, project size, timing and construction contingency funding.
Revenue Assumptions
5.4 5.4 Staff Report
134
In both the cases of Water and Wastewater rates, CIP funding is considered as part of the “fixed costs” of each system and is included in the existing rate model which projects costs over a 10-year period using a “pay-as-you-go” philosophy. The rate model does not reflect the actual expenditures on CIPs; rather it reflects the annual planned funding from this 15-Year analysis.
15-Year Funding Methodology
The District generally uses a funding methodology that looks at the total replacement value of assets that are scheduled to be replaced in the next 15-year window, and then averages the replacement amount over the 15-years. The Public Works Department prepared the 15-year project list considering replacement value, timing, and necessity.
This funding need is then compared to the available fund balance reserves, and those reserves are compared to the cash flow requirements to fund projects in the 15-year forecast. The EMID Board of Directors' minimum emergency reserve requirement for capital improvement projects is $2.0 million each for the Water Capital Improvement Projects Fund and the Wastewater Capital Improvements Project Fund. The 15-Year Fund Balance analysis then reduces the 15-Year Average CIP funding to maintain the Capital Projects Fund Reserves in each fund above the $2 million minimum reserve threshold over the 15-year forecast.

FISCAL IMPACT
Staff seeks EMID Board comments on District’s 15-year capital improvement projects as well as direction to implement the following funding plan as shown in the analysis in the attachments to this report. If approved, the FY 2026-2027 and 2027-2028 Preliminary Enterprise Budget and Five-Year Financial Plan will be prepared.
Water Capital Improvement Plan: $2.6 million in years 1-3, $1.8 million in year 4, then leveling off at $1.5 million for the remainder of the 15-year plan.
Wastewater Capital Improvement Plan: $9.8 million in year 1, then $3.6 million for the next 5 years, and levelling off at $2.5 million for the remainder of the 15-year plan.

SUBJECT: VEHICLE REPLACEMENT FUND OVERVIEW AND INTERNAL SERVICE FUND ALLOCATIONS FOR FY 2026-2027 AND FY
2027-2028
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council review this report and its attachments and direct that the budget be prepared as outlined or provide alternate policy direction regarding the development of the Vehicle Replacement Internal Service Fund budget for FY 2026-2027 and FY 2027-2028.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
There are two budget impacts associated with the Vehicle Replacement Fund:
1. Vehicle Replacement Fund expenditures for Vehicle Maintenance Division operations, including the purchase of replacement vehicles (Attachment 1 and Attachment 5); and
2. Transfers into the Vehicle Replacement Fund to support Vehicle Maintenance Division operations and future vehicle replacement costs.
These transfer costs are allocated to each user department based on vehicle assignment (Attachment 2).
The proposed budget for the Vehicle Maintenance Division includes expenditures from
5.5 5.5 Staff Report

3 7
the Vehicle Replacement Fund (Fund 501) of $2,291,607 in FY 2026-2027 and $6,593,460 in
FY 2027-2028. These amounts include $289,892 in FY 2026-2027 and $4,518,695 in FY 2027-2028 for vehicle replacement (Attachment 1). The budget also reflects transfers to the Vehicle Replacement Fund from the General and Enterprise Funds totaling $4,846,485 in FY 2026-2027 and $3,069,527 in FY 2027-2028 (Attachment 2) to support maintenance operations and future fleet replacement needs.
BACKGROUND
The vehicle maintenance and replacement program was created to provide proactive and effective management, maintenance, inspection, repair, and replacement of all City/District vehicles in order to ensure a consistently efficient, safe and reliable vehicle fleet of all service types through established vehicle maintenance protocols. A reliable fleet allows staff to continue to provide the highest quality service to the Foster City community.
The Vehicle Replacement Fund provides for the distribution of costs for fleet management among user departments and funds. It also serves as a funding mechanism for the on-going replacement of vehicles. Setting aside replacement funding and planning for replacement over the life of the vehicles provides for an orderly replacement process.
As a guideline, vehicles in the City’s fleet are expected to achieve a minimum of the following baseline useful lives, and funding is planned according to this replacement schedule. However, it is anticipated that most vehicles will significantly exceed these minimums, sometimes by twice the minimum life or more.
Minimum Useful Lives (Funding Cycle)
Vehicle Type: Funding Available After:
Police cruisers 5 years
Police motorcycles 6 years
Sedans 6-7 years
Maintenance trucks and tractors 8-13 years
ANALYSIS
The Vehicle Maintenance Division continually monitors the fleet to ensure that each vehicle continues to effectively serve the needs of the City. The vehicles are subject to on-going comprehensive evaluation of factors such as safety, life expectancy, performance, maintenance record, mileage, condition, fuel efficiency and sustainability, integrated technology, lighting, and customization to suit department operations and meet state and federal requirements. Regardless of assigned useful life, vehicles are only recommended to be replaced when this analysis has demonstrated that
5.5 5.5 Staff Report

replacement is warranted.
In Attachment 2, Internal Service Fund Charges, the distribution by division of the 81 vehicles in the City’s fleet is detailed in parenthesis. The Vehicle Maintenance Division also maintains over 400 pieces of small equipment.
Based on vehicle age, twenty-five (25) vehicles will have adequate funding for replacement in FY 2026–2027. Staff recommends replacing the four (4) vehicles listed in Attachment 1, Vehicles to be Replaced, and extending the useful lives of the remaining twenty-one (21) fully funded vehicles. In addition, it’s recommended to extend the useful lives of two (2) non- fully funded vehicles and reduce the useful life of one (1) vehicle to better reflect the anticipated replacement timing. As a result, twenty-four (24) vehicles are included in Attachment 3, Changes to Estimated Useful Lives for FY 2026-2027.
For FY 2027-2028, thirty-five (35) vehicles will have adequate funding for replacement. Of the thirty-five (35) vehicles, Staff recommends replacing the twenty- three (23) vehicles listed in Attachment 1, Vehicles to be Replaced, and extending the useful lives of the remaining eleven(11) vehicles. In addition, it is recommended to reduce the useful life of three (3) pieces of equipment to better reflect anticipated replacement.
This recommendation is based on a thorough review of the maintenance history, usage and condition of the vehicles and equipment in question as well as an assessment of the availability in the marketplace of the types of units needed. Staff does not anticipate that deferring the recommended vehicles and equipment will have a significant negative impact on City operations or on future scheduled replacements based on the overall condition of the fleet, which are significantly higher.
When vehicles are recommended for replacement, Vehicle Maintenance staff continues to evaluate fuel efficient fleet alternatives when assessing the choice of replacement vehicles. While the future of the regulations is somewhat in flux, the California Air Resources Board has issued its Advanced Clean Fleets initiative which would require that at least 50% of purchases of medium- and heavy-duty vehicles be all-electric by year 2024 and all purchases to be electric by year 2030 which will significantly change the composition of the City’s fleet. The Vehicle Replacement Fund was initially partially adjusted last fiscal year to account for the increased cost of these vehicles where staff felt that there would potentially be the opportunity to find an all-electric version of a vehicle with the capabilities needed. For FY 2026-2027, all the remaining vehicles subject to the regulation were adjusted to reflect anticipated costs of electric vehicles, which show a significate increase detailed in Attachment 6 – Changes to Replacement Values (FY 2026-2027)
The vehicle inventory currently includes four (4) Toyota Prius hybrids, two (2) Ford C- Max hybrids, one (1) Ford Escape hybrid and one (1) Ford Focus electric vehicle. The updated values are listed in Attachment 6 - Changes to Replacement Values.

Further, the Public Works Department is continuing to work with Peninsula Clean Energy’s GovEV program to create a long-term plan for the installation of electric vehicle charging infrastructure and the future purchase of electric fleet vehicles in conformance with regulations of the California Air Resources Board and other regulatory agencies.
Staff routinely monitors fuel costs and market conditions. Based on 2025 fuel usage levels and recent pricing trends, combined with forecasts indicating potential fuel price increases due to recent and planned refinery closures in California, staff recommends increasing the fuel budget by $75,000 to account for potential market fluctuations.

FISCAL IMPACT
There are two budget impacts associated with the Vehicle Replacement Fund.
The expenditures for the Vehicle Maintenance operation are found in the Vehicle Maintenance Division budget, including staffing, maintenance supplies, replacement of vehicles, insurance and fuel for the vehicle fleet. The total recommended budget for the Vehicle Maintenance operation is $2,291,607 in FY 2026-2027 and $6,593,460 in FY 2027- 2028. (Attachments 4 and 5). The Vehicle Maintenance operation budget is largely influenced by the planned purchase of vehicles.
The second budget impact is transfers from the General and Enterprise Funds to the Vehicle Maintenance Fund to fund the Vehicle Maintenance operation. The total transfers to the Vehicle Replacement Fund from the General Fund and Enterprise Funds is $ $4,846,484 in FY 2026-2027 and $3,069,526 in FY 2027-2028 (Attachment 2) to support maintenance operations and future replacement of vehicles. The cost for the Vehicle Maintenance Division operations is distributed among the various departments and funds based upon the number of vehicles assigned to them. The portion of the recommended transfer attributed to future replacement of vehicles for FY 2026-2027 is $2,944,769 and $ 1,094,761 for FY 2027-2028. Since FY 2014-15, only 85% of the total projected vehicle replacement costs are charged back to departments.
Because of interest earnings, cost savings associated with purchases, and revenue from the sale of replaced vehicles, this fund tends to experience a growing reserve balance. Employing a discounted charge-back methodology reduces the impact to the General Fund while maintaining a sufficient balance to accomplish the necessary vehicle and vehicle maintenance division equipment purchases.
A summary of the total fiscal impact comparison between FY 2025-26 and FY 2026-27 and FY 2027-2028 as distributed among funds is shown in the table below. Details are shown in the attachments to this report.

Within the General Fund, the Parks and Public Works Streets divisions show a significant increase in the replacement cost of medium-duty F-250 trucks to provide adequate funding to replace those units with electric versions.
Water Enterprise shows a decrease due to extending the useful life of vehicles, and to the fact that replacement values of the vehicles were previously adjusted in FY 2025- 2026. Wastewater Enterprise shows an increase due to increasing costs of vehicles and decreasing the useful life of a vehicle. Vehicles whose replacement charges are recommended to be adjusted are detailed in Attachment 6. Although no vehicles have been added to the list as of the writing of this report, equipment that was added as part of the Fuel Systems Improvement Project (CIP 301-700) has been included in Attachment 7.
The FY 2027-2028 decrease in allocation is attributed to the planned purchase of vehicles for which costs were increased in FY 2026-2027. Water Enterprise has an increase in FY2027-2028 returning to a more typical level following the decrease in FY 2026-2027.
Staff routinely monitors fund balances to ensure that adequate funds are available.

Vehicle Replacement Fund
The mission and goal of the Vehicle Maintenance program is to provide management, maintenance, and inspection of all City/District vehicles and provide an efficient and safe vehicle fleet through established vehicle maintenance procedures. The Vehicle Maintenance Division develops ongoing maintenance programs for City vehicles and works to develop a cost-effective inventory system. The Vehicle Replacement Fund provides for the distribution of costs among user departments and replacement of vehicles in a timely manner to accomplish program goals.
The FY 2026-2027 and FY 2027-2028 Vehicle Maintenance plan continues to take into account new state requirements for future replacements of medium- and heavy-duty vehicles with electric alternatives and a project has been added to the Capital Improvement Plan to install vehicle charging infrastructure to support the addition of electric vehicles in the fleet.

SUBJECT: BUILDING MAINTENANCE FUND BUDGET AND INTERNAL
SERVICE CHARGES FOR FY 2026-2027 AND 2027-2028
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council review this report and its attachments and provide policy direction regarding the development of the Building Maintenance Internal Service Fund Budget for Fiscal Years 2026-2027 and 2027-2028.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
There are two budget impacts associated with the Building Maintenance Fund:
1. Building Maintenance Fund expenditures for Building Maintenance Division operations, including scheduled replacement projects (Attachments 1 and 2); and
2. Transfers into the Building Maintenance Fund to support the Building Maintenance Operation and future replacement of building components. These transfer costs are allocated to each user department based on building use and future replacement projects (Attachment 6)
The proposed budget for the Building Maintenance Division includes expenditures of $4,833,608 from Fund 505 (Building Maintenance Fund) in FY 2026-2027, including $1,536,507 for the replacement of maintenance equipment and building components scheduled for replacement. For FY 2027-2028, the estimated expenditure is $5,128,981,
5.6 5.6 Staff Report
162
including $1,777,000 for the replacement of maintenance equipment scheduled for replacement.
The budget also reflects transfers totaling $3,714,364 in FY 2026-2027 and $ 3,843,779, in FY 2027-2028 to the Building Maintenance fund from the General and Enterprise Funds to support the maintenance operation and the planned future replacement of building components.
Details of the cost and distribution of operation are contained in the attachments to this report.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The building maintenance program was created to ensure that all City facilities are safe, clean, and comfortable through management, maintenance, inspection, repair, and replacement of all the systems that comprise the City/District’s seven City facilities totaling approximately 161,110 square feet. Last year the funding allocation attributed to departments was updated to reflect the temporary, smaller facilities used by Recreation Division during the construction of the new Community Center (formerly called the Recreation Center). The new Community Center is expected to be occupied early in FY 2026-27, therefore the reduced square footage has been updated to reflect the new building footprint.
Established maintenance protocols allow City staff to continue to provide the highest quality service to the Foster City community.
The Building Division’s staff completes work requests, emergency and routine repairs in a timely manner with the support of outside contractors to assist with preventative maintenance and special projects.
Building Maintenance Division Staff duties include but are not limited to:
Emergency Repairs – such as gas leaks or water pipe breaks Work Requests – such as electrical outlet failure or carpet stain removal Regular Repairs – such as lighting ballast replacement or restroom plumbing Supplies/Inventory – such as ordering and organizing regularly stocked supplies and materials
Preventative Maintenance – such as maintaining industry standards with respect to fire extinguisher, safety and other inspections
Special Projects – such as resurfacing floors, refurbishing building areas and upgrading and deploying the Lagoon Holiday Tree
Administration – such as complying with contract and purchasing requirements, staffing, and managing and overseeing the division operations budget and replacement funds In FY 2025-2026, Building Maintenance staff completed the following significant projects in addition to emergency and routine repair and preventative maintenance:
Police Department
Renovated hallways and men’s restrooms
Police Department Kitchen Remodel (CIP 301-711)
Converted the radio/interrogation room into a staff break room

The Building Maintenance Fund provides for the distribution of costs for building management and maintenance among user departments and funds. It also serves as a funding mechanism for the replacement of building components such as roofs, flooring, paint, HVAC, lighting and elevators. Setting aside replacement funding and planning for replacement over the life of the building components provides for an orderly replacement process.
The Building Maintenance Fund relies on anticipation of replacement and major renovation costs for facilities. Regular replacement or renovation of lighting, elevators, paint, flooring, HVAC and roofs are identified and the cost is spread over the life of the assets. Staff actively monitors and adjusts estimated useful life (Attachment 3) and replacement cost (Attachment 4) of each item to ensure that funding will be available as replacement is needed.

FISCAL IMPACT
There are two budget impacts associated with the Building Maintenance Fund.
Expenditures for the Building Maintenance operation are in the Building Maintenance Division budget. The total recommended Building Maintenance Division budget is $4,833,608 for FY 2026-2027 and $5,128,981 for FY 2027-2028, which includes staffing, maintenance supplies, utilities and funding for scheduled maintenance projects to be performed during the year. (Attachments 2 and 5).
The FY 2026-2027 Building Maintenance Fund line item budget reflects an increase for the Building Maintenance Division operation of approximately $1,162,579 (24%) compared to FY 2025-2026. The primary drivers of the increase are:
An overall increase of approximately $16,000 in personnel costs. An increase of approximately $93,000 to reflect higher costs for supplies and services (see Attachment 2 for details)
An increase of approximately $56,000 to account for janitorial services for the Community Center which were decreased while it was under construction An increase of $1,034,007 for scheduled building projects compared to FY 25-26.
The FY 2027-2028 Building Maintenance Fund line item budget reflects an increase for the Building Maintenance Division operation of approximately $295,373 (6%) compared to FY 2026- 2027 (Attachment 5). The primary drivers of the increase are:
An overall increase of approximately $34,000 in personnel costs. An increase of approximately $51,500 for utility costs An increase of $240,493 for scheduled building projects compared to FY 26-27 The increases are partially offset by a decrease due to planned purchase of equipment for $23,000 in FY 26-27, decrease in Vehicle Maintenance allocation, and a decrease in equipment maintenance charges
Additional details are in Attachment 5 – Building Maintenance Fund Comparisons.
Funding for the Building Maintenance operation is reallocated from the General and Enterprise funds through transfers from divisions based upon the percentage of total City facility space used by them.
Budget transfers are also used to accumulate funding for the future replacement of building components and equipment used to maintain the organization’s buildings. The estimated transfers are $3,714,364 in FY 2026-2027 and $3,843,779, in FY 2027-2028 to the Building Maintenance fund from the General and Enterprise Funds to support the maintenance operation and the planned future replacement of building components. The total recommended transfer for these two budget components (operations and replacement) as distributed among funds, after adjusting for pre-funded building component replacements, is shown in detail in Attachment 6 and summarized below in Table 1. The approximately 5% overall decrease in FY
5.6 5.6 Staff Report

2026-2027 is primarily driven by lower equipment charges compared to the prior year. In the previous year, several items had their useful lives reduced, which increased charges. FY 2026- 2027 reflects a return toward more typical levels. The minor increase in FY 27-28 is attributed to minor increases in Building Maintenance Operations.

Goods/Services)
General Note: In FY 25-26, the Recreation Center was reduced in size temporarily during the construction of the new Recreation Center (now called the Community Center), which created a higher than usual distribution among Departments. The Community Center is expected to be built and occupied in FY 26-27 therefore the distribution among Departments is returning to amounts more similar to typical years. Overall, there is a 5% decrease primarily driven by lower equipment charges compared to the prior year. In the previous year, several items had their useful lives reduced, which increased charges; this year reflects a return toward more typical levels In FY 25-26, the Recreation Center was reduced in size temporarily during the construction of the new Recreation Center (now called the Community Center). The Community Center is expected to be built and occupied in FY 26-27 therefore the square footage has been increased from the temporary 4,800 to 38,748 sqft resulting in an increase in allocation for the Recreation Division and a decrease for other Departments.
Increase due to the addition HVAC - Fire Sleeping Quarters which was not listed in previous years. https://fostercity.sharepoint.com/sites/BudgetTaskforce/Budget/Budget 2026-2027/FY 2026-27 ISF/BMF 2026-27/Attachment 1.6 BMF List FY 2026-27\Attachment 1.6 BMF List FY 2026-27

SUBJECT: EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT FUND BUDGET AND INTERNAL SERVICES CHANGES FOR FY 2026-2027 AND FY 2027-2028
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council review this report and its attachments and by Minute Order, provide policy direction on the proposed Equipment Replacement Fund budget, including the scheduled replacement purchases and Equipment Replacement Fund charges in FY 2026-2027 and FY 2027-2028 Preliminary Budget as outlined.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Equipment Replacement Fund was developed for the purpose of reserving the funding needed to replace assets over $5,000 (increased from the prior threshold of $1,000). These assets are listed along with their anticipated replacement costs and estimated useful lives and then funding is set aside each year in an amount adequate to fund the replacement at the identified time. Every asset was reviewed, and replacement values and useful life estimates were adjusted with the best information currently available about each asset.
The total budget for the replacement of items in FY 2026–2027 and FY 2027–2028 is $272,800 and $1,111,100, respectively. The total budget transfer to the Equipment Replacement Fund for FY 2026–2027 and FY 2027–2028 is $1,842,918 and $2,145,372, respectively. The total transfer to CIP fund in FY 2026-2027 is $770,000. Sufficient fund balance is available to support these allocations.
5.7 5.7 Staff Report

BACKGROUND
The Equipment Replacement Fund was developed for the purpose of reserving the funding needed to replace high-value assets. There are three Equipment Replacement Fund lists, one each for the General Fund, Water Enterprise Fund, and Wastewater Enterprise Fund. General Fund Equipment Replacements reside in the Internal Services fund group. The Water and Wastewater Equipment Replacements reside in their respective Enterprise Fund groups. Changes to the fund asset listings are summarized in the attachments to this report.
ANALYSIS
Every asset on each of the three Equipment Replacement Fund lists was carefully reviewed by the Fund Administrator and the Department that uses the asset and replacement values, and useful life estimates were adjusted to accurately reflect the best information currently available about each asset. Assets that are no longer needed were removed from the lists and existing assets were added to the lists as appropriate. The attached lists represent the staff’s recommendation for the most efficient maintenance and replacement of equipment assets.
Attached are the summary spreadsheets for the Equipment Replacement Fund. There are no significant changes to the fund assets.

FISCAL IMPACT
There are two budget impacts associated with the Equipment Replacement Fund:
Budgeted cost to replace assets that have reached the end of their useful lives; and
Annual transfer to reserve funding for future replacements (replacement charge) Assets for Replacement
The funding to replace assets that have reached the end of their useful lives is appropriated in the respective Equipment Replacement Funds. The replacement value of assets that are scheduled for replacement in FY 2026-2027 and FY 2027-2028 are summarized in Table 1.
5.7 5.7 Staff Report

Table 1: Budget for Purchase of Assets Scheduled for Replacement FY2026-27 FY2027-28
General 127,800$ 498,100$ Attachment 4
Water Enterprise 65,000$ 370,500$ Attachment 10 Wastewater Enterprise 80,000$ 242,500$ Attachment 16 Total 272,800$ 1,111,100$
Annual Replacement Charges
Replacement charges are the functional mechanism by which funding for assets is transferred from the General, Water and Wastewater Operating Funds to the respective Equipment Replacement Funds so that funding is available when an asset reaches the end of its useful life. Replacement charges are budgeted in the Department line items for those assets assigned to them. Replacement charges vary by year, based on purchase cycles and annual analysis of the asset costs.
Since FY 2013-14, only 85% of the total projected replacement cost has been charged back to departments for the General Fund. Because the annual replacement charge calculation does not take into consideration interest earnings in the fund and cost savings associated with purchases, this fund tends to experience a growing unassigned reserve balance. Using an 85% charge-back methodology reduces the impact of equipment replacement to the General Fund while maintaining a sufficient balance to accomplish the necessary purchases.
For FY 2025–2026 and FY 2026–2027, the difference between the 100% and 85% chargeback methodologies is approximately $166,682 and $166,388, respectively. Based on a similar fund balance analysis for the Water and Wastewater Enterprise Funds, balances were not excessive, so staff does not propose a replacement charge reduction in these funds.
Table 2 summarizes the annual replacement charges for FY 2026-2027 and FY 2027-2028, and a general overview of the reasons for the changes in Replacement Charge is included below.
Table 2: Equipment Replacement Fund Annual Replacement Charge Summary - All Funds General (85%) 567,981 944,527 376,546 66.30% 942,865 (1,662) -0.18% Attachment 3 Water 396,971 523,853 126,882 31.96% 828,138 304,285 58.09% Attachment 9 Wastewater 401,864 374,538 (27,326) -6.80% 374,369 (169) -0.05% Attachment 15 Total 1,366,816 1,842,918 476,102 34.83% 2,145,372 302,454 63.53% General Fund. Several adjustments were made to replacement costs following the review of assets. The increase in the FY 2026-2027 replacement charge are mainly due to increased replacement cost for playground equipment at multiple parks, pistols, and a street sign applicator. A complete list is provided in Attachment 6 and 7. Water Fund. Changes to the FY 2026-2027 replacement charge in the Water Division are primarily due to the accelerated funding need to replace the City Hall meter read tower receiver in FY 2026-2027 and an increase in the annual cost escalator for water meters from 5% to 10% due to inflation and tariffs.
5.7 5.7 Staff Report
181
Changes to the FY 2027-2028 replacement charge are mainly due to increased replacement costs for the booster engine pump and booster motor pumps, as well as the application of the 10% cost escalator to all categories of water meters. A complete list of changes is included in Attachment 12 and 13.
Wastewater Fund. The decrease in the FY 2026-2027 replacement cost is mainly due to the deferred replacement timeline for the expansion joint and pumps at Lift Station
59. A complete list of changes is included in Attachment 18 and 19.

Attachment 1
Equipment Replacement Fund
This fund was established to provide for the timely and orderly replacement of equipment valued over $5,000. This internal service fund allows the City to plan ahead for the replacement of its equipment. The expenditure figure represents the schedule of equipment to be replaced during the fiscal year and deemed to be in need of replacement.
A consistent methodology is used to capture replacement funds for operating department replacement needs. Individually significant assets (over $5,000), or a pool of assets (which may be less than $5,000 individually, but when pooled together exceed $5,000) are assigned replacement values and estimated useful lives. Operating departments are then charged an annual replacement charge such that the replacement value is available upon expiration of the asset. Any changes to replacement values and/or estimated useful lives that occur subsequent to the asset being placed on the Equipment Replacement list are handled on a prospective (or “go-forward”) basis.
This fund accounts for replacement of assets other than those assets related to Water Operations or Wastewater Operations (which are accounted for in those respective Enterprise funds), or those assets specifically relating to the activities of Vehicle Replacement, Information Technology, and Building Maintenance

AED's (in cars and parks & buildings), Ballistic Shields and Radar Trailer were fully funded for replacement in FY2027-28, and the funding cycle for two of these items is restarted with a lower annual allocation.
Metal Safe was fully funded for replacement in FY2027-28, and the funding cycle has restarted.
The Council Chambers’ wired microphones are separated from the audio system line item due to a $25,000 replacement planned for FY 2026–27, restarting the funding cycle.
The electronic piano is fully funded for replacement in FY 2026–27, and the funding cycle is restarted with a lower annual allocation.
Room cameras were previously fully funded for replacement in FY 2027–28; therefore, no annual allocation was required in the prior fiscal year. In FY 2027-28, it is resumed to accumulate funding for the next scheduled replacement, resulting in an increase in the annual allocation.
Community Center Wind Room Tables, Community Center Classroom Tables, and Community Center Regular Use Chairs were fully funded for replacement in FY2027-28, and the funding cycle is restarted with a higher annual allocation.
Replacement of Community Center Classroom Tables and Regular Use Chairs is deferred for one year, and the funding for other equipment is restarted with a lower annual allocation.
The wireless speaker system was fully funded for replacement in FY 2027-28, and the funding cycle is restarted with a lower annual allocation.
Playground equipment for Marlin Park was fully funded for replacement, no annual allocation was required in prior fiscal year. In FY 2027-28, it is resumed to accumulate funding for the next scheduled replacement, resulting in an increase in the annual allocation.
Department Charged (Receiving Goods/Services)
Replacement costs increase significantly for playground equipment at multiple parks, particularly for Shad Park, which is scheduled for replacement in FY 2027–28. This results in an accelerated funding need, requiring allocation from other playground equipment not scheduled for replacement until later years. Additionally, three hook lift bins and one Christmas tree trailer are also added to the schedule for future replacement funding.
Replacement costs increase for Ballistic Shields, Less Lethal Weapons, and Pistols (S&W M&P)9mm (45), and the replacement life of Colt (AR-15) 5.56mm and Pistols are accelerated by five years and two years respectively.
A newly purchased uniform locker is added, which increases the annual allocation.

Detailed Analysis
FY2026-27 FY2027-28
Replacement of the 24-inch expansion joint for LS59, three 35-HP pumps (including motors) for LS59, and the CCTV van video/electronic equipment has been deferred by approximately 2–8 years. Replacement funding for the tank gauge and leak detection monitor is no longer required; therefore, the existing fund balance has been reallocated to other eligible items within the ERF schedule. The Pool A pump is fully funded, and the funding cycle has been restarted with a reduced annual allocation.
The Air Scrubber/Blower, CY Gym Equipment, various lift station pumps, and a mag meter are fully funded and are entering a new replacement funding cycle with lower annual allocations. However, the replacement schedule for other lift station pumps has been accelerated from 2 to 8 years, resulting in an offsetting decrease in the overall annual allocation.

DATE: March 23, 2026
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
VIA: Stefan Chatwin, City Manager
FROM: Diane Pitman, Administrative Services Director
Rob Lasky, IT Manager
DEPARTMENT: Administrative Services
SUBJECT: FY 2026-2027 AND FY 2027-2028 INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
INTERNAL SERVICE FUND BUDGET
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council review this report and its attachments, and by Minute Order, provide policy direction on the proposed Information Technology (IT) internal service expenditures budget, including the scheduled replacement purchases and Information Technology Fund charges in the Fiscal Years 2026-2027 and 2027- 2028 Preliminary Budget.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
Attached are the spreadsheets for the IT Equipment Replacement Fund. The City continues to use the Internal Service Fund Methodology developed in FY 2005-2006 in determining the Information Technology Replacement Fund listing for FY 2026-2027 and FY 2027-2028.
On an annual basis, the IT Division reviews with each department their list of assets to determine which items are no longer needed, which equipment should be replaced, or which new assets will be requested. The replacement lives and values of each asset are also reviewed by the IT Division and adjusted where necessary. Assets that are fully funded are not automatically replaced. If it is determined that it is in good working condition, the asset accrual is frozen, and no replacement charges are accrued.
5.8 5.8 Staff Report
211
Total IT internal service charges for FY 2026-2027 will be $3,926,121 which is $1,071,017 (or ~ 37.5%) higher than internal service charges for FY 2025-2026 of $2,855,104. The main reason for the increase is the planned purchase of a replacement for the City's Financial System software. This software has been in place for 30 years and has a potential replacement cost of $1,200,000.
Total IT internal service charges for FY 2027-2028 will be $3,016,572 which is $161,468 (or ~ 5.7%) higher than internal service charges for FY 2025-2026 of $2,855,104. The main reason for the increase in FY 2027-28 is due to the expiration of prepaid 3-year subscription terms acquired with the original purchase of our backup and virtualization systems, along with additional consulting expenses for the City's .gov domain migration.
The following table summarizes the items that had the highest impact on the changes to the IT fund:
Key Projects for FY 2026-2027 Fiscal Impact
Financial System Software Replacement:
The City’s Financial System Software is used to process Accounts Payable/Receivable, General Ledger, Payroll, Purchasing, and Utility Billing. The current software has been in place for 30 years and lacks modern integration capabilities.
$1,200,000
Physical Security Remediations: Administrative Services has planned a Physical Security Audit in 2026, and there are expected to be a number of follow-ups, including the need for more keycard readers on doors, and more security cameras in facilities. The $70,000 had previously been allocated to Storage Area Network devices for our servers, but these are no longer needed since disk storage is now included with hyperconverged servers.
$70,000
Key Projects for FY 2027-2028 Fiscal Impact
Hyperconverged Server Replacement: The City’s hyperconverged servers enables the City to run over 100 virtual Windows server installs on a handful of actual physical servers. This equates to 90% of the City’s server-based applications. Our current server hardware was purchased in 2024 with a 3-year software subscription. $105,000
.gov Domain Migration Consulting: With the passage of AB 1637 in 2023, all California local government agencies are required to migrate to a domain ending in .gov by January 1, 2029. Since the City has never done a domain name change, the funding for a consultant will help make sure that staff is following best practices and that we don’t leave any loose ends.

Information Technology Fund
The role of Information Technology is to pr ovide responsive, secure and effective support of the City’s network, applications and comm unication services by coordinating and overseeing the budgeting, plann ing, implementati on, operation and maintenance of City- wide systems and ensure that systems developm ent or implementation proceeds in a logical, integrated and cost-effective manner.
The Information Technology Fund is an Internal Services fund that accounts for the City's investment (both capital and people) in Information Technology. Operating departments are charged back for all of the expenses incu rred in this fund based upon their utilization of such technology. Charge backs also include a charge for IT equipment replacement.
PROPOSED SERVICE LEVELS
The objective of the IT Division of the Administrative Services Department is to support and maintain the existing Information Techno logy infrastructures, enterprise-wide and department applications, systems and har dware. IT will continue to have as its hi ghest priority the maintenance of existing network infrastructure, maintaining existi ng software solutions (of which public safety and financial applic ations will receive the highest priority of service), and providing desktop support for op erating departments. IT will pr ovide proactive assistance in helping departments review busine ss processes, developing or acqui ring new applications or revisi ng existing applications and improving existing network infrastructure to support streamlined business processes.
Support and maintain the existing infrastructures, ent erprise-wide and department applications, systems and hardware. Maintain at all times the Public Safe ty applications and Financial Systems that have been identified as critical systems.
High priority would be given to the services and systems that support the entire organization. Support and maintain the existing applicatio ns developed by the City. In addition, support and maintain new development on an as-needed basis.
Support and maintain the existing 3
rd party applications. Work with City departm ents to integrate new applications, systems or devices.
Support and maintain network security, virus protection and net work administration to protect the City’s infrastructure. Maintain the City’s data / voice communi cation systems and Internet presence. Provide staff training and support fo r maximum utilization of existing software applications and hardware.

The Information Technology Division’s on-going goals, completed initiatives and anticipated init iatives are included in the Administrative Services Department budget narrative.
Total IT internal service charges for FY 2026-2027 will be $3,926,121 which is $1,071,017 (or ~ 37.5%) higher than internal service charges for FY 2025-2026 of $2,855,104. The main reason for the increase is the planned purchase of a replacement for the City's Financial System software. This software has been in place for 30 years, and has a potential replacement cost of $1,200,000.
Total IT internal service charges for FY 2027-2028 will be $3,016,572 which is $161,468 (or ~ 5.7%) higher than internal service charges for FY 2025-2026 of $2,855,104. The main reason for the increase in FY 2027-28 is due to the expiration of prepaid 3- year subscription terms acquired with the original purchase of our backup and virtualization systems, along with additional consulting expenses for the City's .gov domain migration. The following table summarizes the items that had the highest impact in the changes to the IT fund:

Physical Security Remediations:
Administrative Services has planned a Physical Security Audit in 2026, and there are expected to be a number of follow-ups, including the need for more keycard readers on doors, and more security cameras in facilities. The $70,000 had previously been allocated to Storage Area Network devices for our servers, but these are no longer needed since disk storage is now included with our hyperconverged servers. $70,000

SUBJECT: INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS - ADMINISTRATIVE
RECOMMENDATION
City staff seeks reaffirmation of the City Council’s policy on reserve levels and funding methodologies for its Internal Service Funds (ISFs) in the preparation of its FY 2026-27 and FY 2027-28 budget.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City’s five Internal Service Funds for administrative functions are performing as designed, maintaining appropriate reserves for each risk or obligation including:
1. Self-Insurance
2. Longevity Recognition Benefits
3. PEMHCA Benefits
4. Compensated Absences
5. Workers Compensation
For FY 2026-27 and FY 2027-28, the funds above show sufficient reserves to meet the required levels. For two Internal Service Funds, the Longevity Benefits and PEMHCA ISFs, staff is recommending a funding holiday due to high reserve levels.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
5.9 5.9 Staff Report
228
Internal Service Funds are the mechanism by which the City accumulates funding over time in preparation for known future large purchases and/or other future liabilities. Internal Service funding is a conservative budgeting strategy that has helped Foster City proactively fund necessary expenditures.
The City of Foster City has established six Internal Service Funds for asset replacement (which are the subject of separate staff reports) and the five funds below for administrative purposes:
1. Self-Insurance Fund (503) – For the costs associated with the Insurance and Risk Management program (excluding workers compensation).
2. Longevity Recognition Benefits Fund (507) – For the payment of Longevity Recognition Benefits post-employment benefits to qualified individuals.
3. PEMHCA Benefits Fund (508) – For the payment of Public Employees Medical and Hospital Care Act post-employment benefits to qualified individuals.
4. Compensated Absences (509) – For payouts of accrued leave upon termination of employment based upon provisions of various employee Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) and the City’s Compensation and Benefits Plan.
5. Workers Compensation (510) – For the cost to self-insure workers compensation claims, including administrative costs.
1. Self-Insurance Fund
Expenditures in this fund represent the Pooled Liability Assurance Network Joint Power’s Authority (PLAN JPA) premium and an allowance for expenses that may be incurred below the $100,000 liability self-insured retention (SIR) and $5,000 property and vehicle damage deductibles.
For FY 2026-2027, the amount budgeted for premiums includes an increase of approximately 13% above the previous year which reflects the public entity liability market which continues to face sustained, complex pressures driven by legal system abuse, adverse loss trends, and evolving judicial and legislative environments. While capacity has stabilized compared to the peak of the hard market, underwriting discipline remains firm. Carriers continue to exhibit heightened selectivity for high- severity segments such as law enforcement liability, street and road design, juvenile detention, foster care exposure, and SAM (sexual abuse and molestation). PLAN JPA currently uses a third-party claims administrator, Carl Warren & Company, to assist with claims administration. PLAN JPA continues to analyze whether to increase the confidence level for the liability and property programs. The confidence level remained the same as last year which is 60% for liability and 85% for the property program.
Higher premiums would be necessary to increase the confidence levels but the Plan
5.9 5.9 Staff Report
229
JPA Board did not approve the action at this time. The PLAN JPA Board reviewed the preliminary budget at the Special Board meeting on March 11, 2026.
The actual PLAN JPA liability, property, and cyber premiums will not be finalized until summer of 2026, so the figures may be adjusted, if needed, in the final FY 2026-2027 budget prior to adoption. Expenditures within the City’s SIR are estimated to be at or under $144,000, based on a review of the past three years of claims experience.
2. Longevity Recognition Benefits
This benefit plan, negotiated under memoranda of understanding with the City’s externally represented bargaining groups and the compensation and benefits plan for Management Employees, provides monthly benefit payments based upon an employee’s length of service with the City at the time of their retirement from the City and in recognition that the City does not otherwise provide for post-employment medical benefits other than the minimum amounts required under PEMHCA (see below). In FY 2007-08, all AFSCME and non-public safety management employees employed with the City voluntarily eliminated the Longevity Recognition plan from their employee agreements. Current FCPOA, legacy IAFF, and public safety management employees will continue to participate in the program, but new employees in those groups hired after January 1, 2012, are no longer eligible to participate in the program.
As of June 30, 2025, the City’s Longevity Benefit Plan liability was $2.82 million compared to the Internal Service Fund balance of $3.0 million. Accounting standards do FY 2025-26 FY 2026-27 FY 202728

not allow Internal Service Fund assets to be used as offsets against our Longevity liabilities. Therefore, the City’s Balance Sheet includes the “full” obligations.
3. Public Employee Medical and Hospital Care Act
City employees participate in a medical benefits plan provided through CalPERS under the PEMHCA medical benefit plan. In accordance with the provisions of the state law, employers must contribute a minimum fixed monthly amount towards the medical benefits costs for current and retired employees participating in the plan. Effective January 1, 2026, the minimum monthly employer contribution is $162 for each retiree, an increase of $4 from calendar year 2025. The contribution amount is subject to cost of living increases as determined by the State Legislature.
As of June 30, 2025, the City’s PEMHCA OPEB liability was $6.23 million (net of approximately $303,000 in the Section 115 irrevocable trust) compared to the Internal Service Fund balance of $6.73 million.
Additionally, the City has set up an IRC Section 115 Trust, which is funded every year and is anticipated to eventually be able to reimburse the City for the yearly future costs.
Therefore, Staff recommends an assessment holiday in FY 2026-27 and FY 2027-28 for PEHMCA Benefit Internal Service Fund.

4. Compensated Absences
The City provides vacation and sick leave benefits to current employees based upon the two (2) memoranda of understanding (MOU) with AFSCME and FCPOA, and the Compensation and Benefits Plan (C&B Plan) for Management Employees. These benefits are collectively referred to as “compensated absences.” When an employee separates from employment with the City, either through termination, resignation, or retirement, the City is required to pay the final compensated absences balances to the employee based on the provisions within the MOUs or C&B Plan applicable to the employee. For some employees, this payout may be less than $2,000, but for long-term or highly compensated employees, these payouts can be over $50,000.
The Compensated Absences Internal Service Fund reserve balance significantly exceeds the amount needed to fund costs in biennial budget period; therefore staff recommends an assessment holiday in FY 2026-27 and FY 2027-28.
5. Workers Compensation
On August 1, 2025, workers compensation claim administration was transferred from Cities Group Joint Powers Authority (Cities Group) to the City as a self-insured employer.
Once the claims were transferred out of Cities Group, a thorough review showed some unanticipated expenses that were addressed in FY 2025-26. Although the amount was significant, it should be a one-time cost due to the transition, unless an unknown claim or issue arises. The proposed budget for FY 2026-27 and FY 2027-28 are projecting more stable and cost- effective administration. Projected expenses are shown in the table below.

The annual funding goal of the Workers Compensation fund is $1.5 million, the annual amount paid to Cities Group. This amount is charged to each department as a percentage of payroll, such that actual funding varies based on vacancies. The annual funding goal remains $1.5 million for FY 2026-27 and FY 2027-28, which exceeds the expense budgets provided above. The excess amounts are intended to build fund balance until an actuarial analysis of our self-insured claims history (planned in FY 2027-28) will allow us to establish appropriate reserve minimums and evaluate annual funding amounts.
FISCAL IMPACT
City staff seeks reaffirmation of the City Council’s policy on reserve levels and funding methodologies for its Internal Service Funds (ISFs). The final fiscal impact will be included in the preliminary budget presented to Council in May.

The Compensated Absences rate increased from 2.33% to 3.70% in FY 2026-27. Other factors impacting the variance are wages and authorized positions.
Charges for compensated absences are calculated but not requested to be assessed in FY 2026-27 and FY 2027-28, since there is sufficient fund balance available to pay for projected compensated absences benefits.
In FY 2025-26, the compensated absences assessment charges were calculate at $493,029; however, the City Council approved an assessment holiday since there was sufficient fund balance available to pay for projected compensated absences benefits. Hence, the approved assessment budget was zero.

SUBJECT: UPDATES TO MASTER FEES AND SERVICE CHARGES
SCHEDULE FOR FY 2026-2027 AND FY 2027-2028
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council/EMID Board of Directors, by Minute Order, provide policy direction regarding changes to the Master Fees and Service Charges Schedule as part of the FY 2026-27 and FY 2027-28 budget.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
City/District staff is recommending minor changes to the FY 2026-27 and FY 2027-28 Master Fees and Service Charges Schedule (“Schedule”). The Police and Community Development Departments are recommending various new fees and clarifications, while the remainder of the City’s fee schedule is generally being increased to reflect inflation. Notably, the Parks and Recreation Department fee changes will be presented in April to allow sufficient time to develop and review fees associated with the new Community Center.
In order to calculate the inflation adjustments for the FY 2027-28 Schedule, staff will automatically increase the rates based upon the inflation index specified by the 2023 User Fee Study. Automatic updates based on inflation indices do not require Council action.

1 BACKGROUND
As part of the annual budget process, the City Council/EMID Board reviews the Master Fees and Service Charges Schedule. The Schedule includes all services and charges that are charged by the City/District in providing services to the community. Fees such as building permit fees, encroachment permits, inspections, fingerprinting, water meters, copying and duplication charges are examples of the type of fees charged to residents and businesses. The Schedule is subject to a public hearing prior to adoption.
The City Council/EMID Board has historically reviewed the Schedule as part of its Annual Budget Study Session.
Based on City Council/EMID Board direction, City/District staff will prepare the necessary staff report regarding changes to the Master Fees and Service Charges Schedule and publish the proper notices for a public hearing to be held at the April 20, 2026 regular meeting. At the conclusion of the public hearing, the City Council/EMID Board then adopts the Master Fees and Service Charges Schedule, which goes into effect on July 1, 2026 (providing for the 60 day waiting period required for the development impact fees included on this portion of the Schedule).
In order to provide sufficient time to establish appropriate rates for the new Community Center, the portion of the Master Fee Schedule for the Parks and Recreation Department will trail the rest of the schedule by approximately one month, starting with a work session discussion on April 20 followed by a public hearing on May 18. After that public hearing, the City Council/EMID Board then adopts the Master Fees and Service Charges Schedule for the Parks and Recreation Department, which goes into effect on July 1, 2026.
In accordance with State law, all service-related fees are to be based upon the cost of providing such services. The basis for many of the fees in the Schedule is from the cost allocation plan and User Fee Study that was performed in 2023 and adjusted annually for normal cost escalation and inflation incurred by the City/District.
ANALYSIS
The proposed Master Fees and Service Charges Schedule for FY 2026-27 is provided in Attachment 1, including proposed staff billing rates for fees that are calculated on a time and materials basis. The inflation adjustment was generally 3.0% (from the Consumer Price Index for the San Francisco Bay Area as of December 2025); however, some CDD fees are adjusted by the Building Cost Index or Engineering News-Record Construction Cost Index as specified by the 2023 User Fee Study.
In order to calculate the inflation adjustments for the FY 2027-28 Schedule, staff will automatically increase the rates based upon the inflation index specified by the 2023 User Fee Study. Automatic updates based on inflation indices do not require Council action.

1 Utility Rates – Water and Wastewater Services
In June of 2025, the EMID Board approved five years of rates, including any adjustments needed to allow for pass-through costs associated with wholesale water prices from the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission. No change in the approved rates are needed at this time, and staff will inform the Board of the pass-through costs on April 20, 2026.
Community Development Department Fees
In addition to inflationary adjustments, the Community Development Department is proposing a number of revisions and clarifications to the Schedule, including (but not limited to) a fee for deferred submittal of a plan check fee, a flat fee for battery backup systems, and adding residential garage door permit to the Schedule. See Attachment 2 for details.
Police Department Fees
In addition to inflationary adjustment, the Police Department is eliminating outdated charges that no longer apply and creating a new fine for no parking unless charging.
See Attachment 3 for details.
Parks and Recreation Department Fees
Due to additional analysis and review time needed to establish fees for the new Community Center, the Parks and Recreation Department fees will be presented to Council on April 20 with a public hearing tentatively scheduled for May 18.
California Environmental Quality Act
Not Applicable
FISCAL IMPACT
If the revised Master Fees and Service Charges Schedule is adopted, there will be a slight positive fiscal impact in permit/fee revenues from the proposed changes.
