Marlene Subhashini, Assistant City Manager
FROM: Derek Schweigart, Parks and Recreation Director
Tiffany Oren, Recreation Manager
DEPARTMENT: Parks and Recreation
SUBJECT: Authorizing the Joint Use Agreement Between the City of Foster City and the San Mateo-Foster City School District
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute the Joint Use Agreement (JUA) between the City of Foster City (CITY) and the San Mateo-Foster City School District (School District) from September 1, 2026 through June 30, 2029.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The JUA between the City of Foster City and the San Mateo-Foster City School District has supported the shared use of recreational facilities and athletic fields, providing valuable opportunities for community recreation programs and public access while maximizing the efficient use of public resources. The original agreement was effective May 1, 2023, through April 30, 2026. To allow additional time for both agencies to negotiate updated terms and conditions, the agreement was extended through August 31, 2026.
During the extension period, City and School District staff worked collaboratively to develop a new agreement that reflects current operational practices, clarifies responsibilities, and strengthens coordination between the two agencies. Key updates to Item 6.3
the agreement include aligning the agreement term with the City and School District fiscal years; updating the list of shared-use facilities to reflect current operations; revising the methodology for allocating Multi-Purpose Room (MPR) maintenance, janitorial, and utility costs to better reflect actual facility use; improving coordination for facility scheduling, summer programming, and construction projects; and documenting current operational practices and responsibilities to provide greater clarity, consistency, and communication between the City and the School District.
Staff recommends approval of the new JUA for the term of September 1, 2026, through June 30, 2029.
BACKGROUND / ANALYSIS
The City and the School District have maintained a JUA since 1991 for the shared use of facilities at Audubon, Foster City, and Brewer Island Schools. The agreement promotes efficient use of public resources and provides community access to recreational and educational facilities.
On April 23, 2023, City and the School District entered into the current JUA with a term from May 1, 2023, through April 30, 2026. As the agreement approached expiration, both parties identified opportunities to update and refine various provisions to better reflect current operational practices and align the agreement term with each agency’s fiscal year, which runs from July 1 through June 30. To provide additional time for negotiations and development of a new multi-year agreement, the City Council approved a short-term extension through August 31, 2026.
During the extension period, City and School District staff continued to review and negotiate the agreement terms. Through a collaborative process, the agencies reached agreement on all provisions and developed a new JUA that aligns with current operational practices, clarifies responsibilities, and strengthens coordination between the City and the School District. The School District is scheduled to approve the agreement at their Board meeting on August 27, 2026.
Key updates reflected in the proposed new JUA:
Aligns the agreement term with the City and School District fiscal years. Updates shared-use provisions for Bowditch Middle School and formalizes summer program coordination.
Modernizes scheduling procedures by recognizing Civic Permits as the official scheduling and cost allocation system.
Item 6.3
Revises the methodology for allocating multi-purpose room maintenance, janitorial, and utility costs based on actual facility use rather than square footage.
Improves coordination for construction projects, summer programming, and annual facility planning.
Documents the City's Wednesday Afterschool Enrichment Program and associated scheduling procedures.
Adds an appendix recognizing supplemental City facilities and recreational benefits provided to the School District.
Clarifies operational responsibilities and invoicing procedures to improve consistency, transparency, and communication between the City and School District.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
Not Applicable
FISCAL IMPACT
The JUA continues the long-standing cost-sharing partnership between the City and the San Mateo-Foster City School District for the shared use of recreational facilities and athletic fields. Based on current costs, the City's expenditures under the agreement are estimated at approximately $60,000 annually for utilities and custodial services associated with the shared facilities. Costs associated with the agreement are included in the approved FY 2026-2027 and FY 2027-2028 budget. The updated agreement is not anticipated to result in a significant fiscal impact beyond these existing expenditures.

TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
VIA: Stefan Chatwin, City Manager
Marlene Subhashini, Assistant City Manager
FROM: Derek Schweigart, Parks and Recreation Director
DEPARTMENT: Parks and Recreation
SUBJECT: Authorizing a Second Amendment with Martinelli Environmental Graphics in the Amount of $13,958.37 for a Total Contract Amount of $59,295.33 for the Community Center Donor Wall Design Agreement, and Approve 10% Contingency of $5,929.53 with Authorization Given to the City Manager to Approve and Execute Change Orders or Amendments up to Contingency Amount
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution:
1. Authorizing the City Manager to execute a Second Amendment to the agreement with Martinelli Environmental Graphics for the Foster City Community Center Donor Recognition Wall, increasing the contract amount by $13,958.37, from $45,336.96 to a total not-to-exceed amount of $59,295.33, to accommodate revisions to the donor wall design;
2. Authorizing a 10% contract contingency in the amount of $5,929.53 for additional services or unforeseen work that may be necessary to complete the donor wall project;
3. Authorizing the City Manager to approve and execute change orders or amendments to the agreement within the authorized contingency amount of $5,929.53, subject to the availability of appropriated funds and provided that such work remains consistent with the overall scope and purpose of the donor recognition wall project.
Item 6.4
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In March 2026, the City Council approved the Foster City Community Center Donor Recognition Wall design and tiered fundraising framework. The donor wall is intended to provide permanent recognition of individuals, families, businesses, and organizations that contribute to the Community Center and is planned for installation in the first-floor Entry Atrium.
The City subsequently entered into an agreement with Martinelli Environmental Graphics for fabrication and installation of the donor wall in the amount of $43,843.96.
As donor commitments were received, participation was greater than anticipated at the lower-dollar donation thresholds. The resulting number of plaques requested at these levels exceeded the quantities contemplated in the original conceptual layout. To accommodate the increased number of plaques while maintaining the visual balance, spacing, and overall aesthetics of the donor recognition wall, the design needed to be revised. A total number of 55 plaques have been sold to date, and $236,702.31 has been received towards the Community Center Donor Wall Fund.
Martinelli Environmental Graphics has provided revised pricing of $13,958.37 for the additional fabrication and installation work associated with the redesign. The proposed Second Amendment would increase the total contract amount from $45,336.96 to $59,295.33. Because the revised contract amount exceeds the City Manager's $50,000 signing authority, City Council approval is required.
There is currently adequate funding to absorb the additional cost in the Foster City Community Center Rebuild Project (Project) contingency which staff estimate is approximately $3,133,713 or 70% of the original amount of $4,462,600
BACKGROUND / ANALYSIS
On March 16, 2026, the City Council approved the Foster City Community Center Donor Recognition Wall design and tiered fundraising framework. The donor wall was developed as part of the City's efforts to recognize philanthropic contributions supporting the new Community Center.
The approved concept envisioned a permanent recognition feature integrated into the first-floor Entry Atrium. The original design consisted of back-painted acrylic donor plaques in coordinated blue tones, with plaque sizes and thicknesses varying according to four donor recognition levels. The conceptual layout included approximately 27 plaques at Tier 4 ($2,500-$4,999), 14 plaques at Tier 3 ($5,000-$7,499), 12 plaques at Tier 2 ($7,500-$9,999), and 19 plaques at Tier 1 ($10,000+). The original design recognized that the final configuration and number of plaques could be adjusted based on actual donor participation.
Item 6.4
Following Council approval of the donor wall concept, the City entered into an agreement with Martinelli Environmental Graphics for fabrication and installation of the donor wall. The original agreement established a total not-to-exceed amount of $43,843.96.
In July 2026, Martinelli identified that a required line item for shop drawings had inadvertently been omitted from the original compensation schedule. A First Amendment was prepared to add $1,493.00 for the shop drawings and increase the total contract amount from $43,843.96 to $45,336.96. Because the resulting contract amount remained below $50,000, the First Amendment was within the City Manager's signing authority and was approved by the City Manager.
As the City's donor outreach efforts progressed, the program experienced greater participation than anticipated at the lower-dollar donation thresholds. While the original conceptual layout anticipated a certain distribution of plaques among the four recognition tiers, the actual distribution of donors resulted in a greater concentration of plaques at the lower and higher dollar levels, with less in the middle tiers.
To accommodate the additional plaques while preserving the intended appearance of the recognition feature, staff worked with Martinelli Environmental Graphics to revise the layout. The redesign allows the donor wall to accommodate the actual mix of donor participation while maintaining appropriate spacing and visual balance.
The additional plaques and revised configuration require modifications to the fabrication and installation work included in the existing agreement. Martinelli Environmental Graphics has provided revised pricing of $13,958.37 for this additional work.
The contract history is summarized below:
Contract Action Amount Added Total Contract
Amount
Approval
Authority
Original Agreement $43,843.96 $43,843.96 City Manager

Drawings
$1,493.00 $45,336.96 City Manager
Proposed Second
Amendment - Donor
Wall Redesign
$13,958.37 $59,295.33 City Council
Under the agreement, contracts below $50,000 may be authorized by the City Manager, while contracts of $50,000 or more require City Council approval. The proposed Second Amendment increases the total agreement to $59,295.33; therefore, Council authorization is required.
Item 6.4
The redesign responds directly to the success of the donor recognition program and provides sufficient capacity for the greater-than-anticipated participation at the lower donation thresholds without compromising the visual quality of the feature.
To provide reasonable flexibility as the donor wall moves through final fabrication and installation, staff is also requesting a 10% contract contingency of $5,929.53, based on the amended contract amount of $59,295.33. The contingency is intended to provide flexibility should additional fabrication, installation, design coordination, donor plaques, or other related services be needed as the project is completed. Staff recommend authorizing the City Manager to approve and execute change orders or amendments within this contingency amount, provided the work remains consistent with the overall scope and purpose of the donor recognition wall project. Any change orders exceeding the authorized contingency would require further City Council approval.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
Not Applicable
FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed Second Amendment will increase the Martinelli Environmental Graphics agreement by $13,958.37, from the current not-to-exceed amount of $45,336.96 to $59,295.33.
The City Council previously authorized a $40,000 appropriation from Capital Improvement Fund (Fund 301) reserves to the Recreation Center Rebuild Project (CIP 301-678) to support fabrication and installation of the donor wall.
There is currently adequate funding to absorb the additional cost in the Foster City Community Center Rebuild Project (Project) contingency which staff estimate is approximately $3,133,713 or 70% of the original amount of $4,462,600.

SUBJECT: Foster City Residential Battery Storage Rebate Program - Climate Action Plan (CAP) Implementation
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council of the City of Foster City adopt the attached resolution approving the Foster City Residential Battery Storage Rebate Program for the implementation of CAP Program E-W.2.1.1 Provide financial incentives for solar PV and battery storage installations.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Foster City Climate Action Plan (CAP) identifies renewable energy adoption and electrification as strategies for reducing community greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
The CAP 2024 Update sets ambitious targets, including reducing emissions by almost 50% below 2005 levels by 2030, and an 88% reduction below 2005 levels by 2045. The CAP also offers practical suggestions for energy efficiency, water conservation, and alternative transportation, emphasizing a collective approach to a sustainable future. One of the strategies in the CAP specifically identifies increasing residential and commercial solar installations. The CAP program relevant to this staff report is E-W.2.1.1 (page 89 of adopted CAP 2024 Update).

E-W.2 Decarbonize
residential and

E-W.2.1 Increase
residential and commercial
solar installations.
E-W.2.1.1: Provide financial
incentives for solar PV and
battery storage installations.
The City currently offers rebates for residential photovoltaic (PV) solar systems. Battery energy storage is a complementary technology that allows residents to store solar energy generated during the day and use it in the evening or during power outages.
Staff recommends approving Foster City Residential Battery Storage Rebate Program to provide $1,000 rebates to residents who install battery storage systems paired with PV solar systems. The rebate can be stacked with other rebates, specifically, Foster City’s $1,000 Solar Rebate. Rebates would be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis until Program funds are exhausted.
Fund 129 Construction and Demolition Fund (Account No. 129-0932-42-51) has $90,000 available for CAP implementation in the adopted fiscal year (FY) 2026-2027 budget, of which staff is recommending $30,000 for the Residential Battery Storage Rebate Program, so no supplemental appropriation is required.
BACKGROUND
California has adopted ambitious climate and clean energy goals to address climate change and reduce GHG emissions. State policy focuses on expanding clean energy and reducing GHG emissions, including Senate Bill 100 (2018), which requires California’s electricity supply to be 100 percent carbon-free by 2045, and state climate targets calling for a 40 percent reduction in GHG emissions below 1990 levels by 2030.
The City Council adopted Foster City's first CAP on January 4, 2016, establishing GHG emissions reduction targets and identifying strategies to mitigate climate change caused by GHG emissions. Encouraging solar installations was included in the list of reduction measures identified in the first CAP.
City Council adopted an update to CAP on November 18, 2024. The CAP 2024 Update sets ambitious targets, including reducing emissions by almost 50% below 2005 levels by 2030, and an 88% reduction below 2005 levels by 2045. The CAP also offers practical suggestions for energy efficiency, water conservation, and alternative transportation, emphasizing a collective approach to a sustainable future. One of the strategies in the CAP specifically identifies increasing residential and commercial solar installations.
Actions supporting this strategy include providing financial incentives for solar PV and battery storage installations.
Foster City Solar Rebate Program (Existing)
On July 18, 2016, the City adopted a resolution to transfer $437,189 in PG&E Rule 20A credits to the City of Half Moon Bay. Rule 20A credits are utility-funded work credits issued Item 7.1
by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to local governments. In exchange for these restricted utility credits, Half Moon Bay provided Foster City with $200,000 in flexible General Fund dollars. The obtained funds were used to establish the City’s Solar Rebate Program.
Foster City is one of the few Bay Area cities that offers a rebate to residents who install solar. Most rebates are offered by utility companies, such as Alameda Municipal Power and Silicon Valley Power, or by Community Choice Aggregators (CCAs), such as WestLight Energy (formerly Peninsula Clean Energy).
Foster City’s Solar Rebate Program provides a $1,000 rebate to homeowners who install solar PV systems. Since 2016, 126 Solar rebates have been paid out to help residents offset purchase and installation costs. However, without battery storage, excess electricity is often exported to the grid rather than used directly by the homeowner. Therefore, supplemental battery storage systems would allow residents to store excess solar energy for later use in the evening or during power outages.
Overview of Residential Battery Storage Systems
A residential battery storage system (also known as an Energy Storage System or ESS) is an advanced electrical energy storage unit, usually utilizing lithium-ion chemistry, designed to capture and store electrical power for localized household use. While batteries can be charged directly from the utility grid, they are most effectively paired with a residential solar PV system to capture surplus electricity generated during daylight hours that would otherwise be exported to the grid.
Modern residential battery systems consist of three (3) primary components: energystoring battery modules, an inverter that converts Direct Current (DC) to Alternating Current (AC) for household use, and a Battery Management System (BMS) that ensures safe, optimized performance. Physically compact—resembling a slimline refrigerator or large suitcase—these units are purchased directly from manufacturers or certified local contractors rather than retail stores. A standard 10 to 13.5 kilowatt-hours (kWh) system generally costs between $13,500 and $23,500 and is typically wall-mounted in a garage, utility room, or on the home's exterior near the main electrical panel, requiring strict structural clearances to comply with building and fire codes. While the physical mounting and wiring take only one (1) to two (2) days, the complete deployment process spans three (3) to six (6) months to accommodate engineering site surveys, local municipal permit approvals, and final permission to operate from PG&E.
Residential battery systems serve two (2) critical functions:
Load Shifting and Peak Shaving (Economic and Grid Benefits): Under current utility billing structures, such as California’s Net Engineering Metering (NEM) 3.0, grid electricity is most expensive, and carbon-intensive, during evening peak demand hours (typically 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM). Battery storage allows homeowners to discharge their stored, self-generated solar energy during these peak times.
Item 7.1
This reduces the homeowner’s utility costs while simultaneously easing the burden on the local electrical grid during periods of highest demand. Energy Resilience (Emergency Backup): Battery systems provide seamless, automatic backup power to a home during grid outages, Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS), or extreme weather events. Depending on the battery's capacity and the home's electrical setup, a system can be configured to power essential loads (e.g., refrigerators, lighting, and medical devices) or provide whole-home backup.
By integrating these systems, property owners transition from merely generating renewable energy to actively managing their energy consumption. By storing surplus renewable energy during the day and discharging it to power the home during the evening, distributed battery systems actively displace the need for fossil-fuel generation during the grid's dirtiest hours (times of day when the electricity supply produces the highest GHG per kilowatt-hour).
However, residential battery storage systems are expensive, and there is limited awareness of available incentives. Since 2016, 275 residential battery systems have been installed in Foster City. Currently, no other city in San Mateo County offers rebates for battery storage. A local rebate program can encourage residents to install solar-plusstorage systems.
ANALYSIS
Proposed Residential Battery Storage Rebate Program
The proposed Residential Battery Storage Rebate Program will offer Foster City homeowners with installed solar PV systems (or those who combine the installation of a solar system with a battery storage system) a one-time rebate of $1,000 per home for installing a residential battery storage system. Establishing a $1,000 rebate amount for residential battery storage creates a $2,000 stackable incentive when bundled with the City’s existing $1,000 solar rebate. This combined financial mechanism is designed to lower the barrier to entry for residents by offsetting the significant upfront capital required for energy storage installations.
These paired systems enable active load shifting by storing surplus midday solar generation to offset grid consumption during peak hours, which reduces regional reliance on carbon-intensive peaker plants. Additionally, expanding residential battery deployment improves community resilience by providing reliable backup power during PSPS or grid failures, ensuring residents can safely stay in their homes during prolonged outages.
Major requirements and components of the Program are highlighted below. Full guidelines and requirements for the Program are highlighted in Attachment 2.
Rebate Amount
• $1,000 per eligible property (limit one per household).
Item 7.1
• Rebates are issued on a first-come, first-served basis until program funds are exhausted.
• Eligible Applicants
Applicant must:
• Own an eligible residential property within Foster City • Have an existing rooftop solar photovoltaic system installed or plan to install one at the same time to pair the battery storage system • Use a licensed electrician to install the battery storage system • Receive approval and required permits through the City’s building permit process
• Install equipment after the program start date
• Coordinate with PG&E prior to equipment installation and submit required documentation to PG&E
• Submit required documentation to the City of Foster City Eligible residential properties:
• Single-family homes
• Duplexes
Eligible Installers
Installers must:
Be a licensed electrical contractor
o The California Contractors State License Board (CSLB) requires that only licensed electricians can install, maintain, and repair solar battery storage systems
o A C-10 (Electrical Contractor) license is legally required to install Battery Energy Storage Systems.
A C-46 Solar Contractor can also install ESS
Eligible Equipment
Battery systems must:
• Be UL-certified
• Have a minimum capacity of 5 kWh
• Be permanently installed and grid-connected
• Be paired with an on-site photovoltaic (PV) system (standalone batteries not connected to solar do not qualify)
As mentioned above, the proposed Program would provide a one-time $1,000 rebate to eligible homeowners installing qualifying battery systems. Funded at an initial allocation of $30,000, rebates will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis to owners of single-family homes and duplexes within Foster City. A full list of Battery Storage System Rebate Program rules can be found in Attachment 2.
The Program would support the City’s broader climate strategy to encourage renewable energy and reduce reliance on fossil-fuel electricity during peak demand periods.
Item 7.1
Residential battery storage systems can indirectly reduce GHG emissions by shifting electricity consumption away from peak demand periods when grid electricity is typically more carbon-intensive due to the need to combine both renewable and non-renewable energy sources to meet demand.
The Residential Battery Storage Rebate Program will be administered by the Community Development Department – Housing and Sustainability Division. The Public Works Department currently administers the City’s Solar Rebate Program.
Next steps for this program will be outreach. Staff will prepare marketing materials and a marketing plan and plans to launch the program in October 2026. Staff will also promote the Program on the City’s website, on social media, and through the City’s listserv; through flyers available at City Hall, the Library, and the Community Center; and through emails to all Foster City residents who have installed solar photovoltaic systems. Through the Outreach, staff will also be able to implement E-W.2.1.8 of the CAP: E-W.2.1.8:
Provide education and outreach to stakeholders, including businesses, residents, and contractors, on the benefits of pairing battery storage with solar PV systems at City information centers like the permit counters.
The Program would support 30 residential battery system installations.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
Exempt per California Environmental Act (CEQA) Guideline, Section 15061(b)(3)
FISCAL IMPACT
A total funding in the amount of $90,000 was budgeted in the FY 2026-2027 Budget for CAP Implementation (Account Number 129-0932-431-42-51). Staff will use $30,000 to fund the Residential Battery Storage Rebate Program until the funds are exhausted. Any unused funds from FY 2026-2027 would be carried over through the regular budgetary process.

Foster City Residential Battery Storage
Rebate Program Guidelines and FAQ
A. Program Guidelines
1. Program Overview
The Foster City Residential Battery Storage Rebate Program provides a $1,000 rebate to residents who install battery energy storage systems (also known as Energy Storage Systems or ESS) when paired with solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. The program supports the City’s Climate Action Plan (CAP) 2024 Update, by encouraging renewable energy resilience, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and improving electric grid reliability.
Battery storage allows homeowners to store excess solar energy generated during the day for use during evening peak demand periods or power outages. Battery storage systems typically cost between $13,500 and $23,500 to purchase and install for a 10-13.5 kilowatt-hour (kWh) system. Battery storage systems are typically installed in garages, utility rooms, or exterior walls. Battery storage systems also provide backup power in the event of a power outage.
Battery storage systems enable active load shifting by storing surplus midday clean energy from solar generation to offset grid consumption during the 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM peak, reducing regional reliance on carbon-intensive peaker plants. Additionally, expanding residential battery deployment improves community resilience by providing reliable backup power during Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS) or grid failures, ensuring residents can safely stay in their homes during prolonged outages.
This program supports several actions identified in the Foster City CAP related to renewable energy adoption, electrification, and community resilience, and advances the City’s broader climate strategy to encourage renewable energy and reduce reliance on fossil-fuel electricity during peak-demand periods.

B. Residential Battery Storage Rebate Program: Frequently Asked Questions
Program Basics
What is battery storage? A residential battery storage system (also known as an Energy Storage System or ESS) is an advanced electrical energy storage unit, usually utilizing lithium-ion chemistry, designed to capture and store electrical power for localized household use. While batteries can be charged directly from the utility grid, they are most effectively paired with a residential solar photovoltaic (PV) system to capture surplus electricity generated during daylight hours that would otherwise be exported to the grid.
Modern residential battery systems generally consist of three primary components: the battery modules that store the energy, an inverter that converts the stored Direct Current (DC) energy into Alternating Current (AC) for household appliances, and a sophisticated Battery Management System (BMS) that actively monitors the system to ensure safe and optimized performance. Physically, these units are relatively compact, resembling a slimline refrigerator or a large, sleek suitcase, and are typically mounted on walls in garages or utility rooms, or on the exterior of a home, in strict compliance with local building and fire codes.
Residential battery systems serve two critical functions:
• Load Shifting and Peak Shaving (Economic and Grid Benefits): Under current utility billing structures, such as California’s NEM 3.0, grid electricity is most expensive and carbon-intensive during evening peak demand hours (typically 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM). Battery storage allows homeowners to discharge their stored, self-generated solar energy during these peak times. This reduces the homeowner’s utility costs while simultaneously easing the burden on the local electrical grid during periods of highest demand.
• Energy Resilience (Emergency Backup): Battery systems provide seamless, automatic backup power to a home during grid outages, Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS), or extreme weather events. Depending on the battery's capacity and the home's electrical setup, a system can be configured to power essential loads (e.g., refrigerators, lighting, and medical devices) or provide whole-home backup.

What is the Residential Battery Storage Rebate Program? Foster City is offering eligible homeowners a $1,000 rebate for installing a residential battery storage system.
It’s a great way to keep your power running during outages and get the most out of your solar panels. Plus, it helps support the city's Climate Action Plan.
Are program funds guaranteed? No. The City has allocated a limited amount of funding for the program. Rebates are issued on a first-come, first-served basis to eligible applicants. Once the funds are exhausted, the City will evaluate the program and request more funding, if needed.
Do you need a PG&E PTO (Permission to Operate) to install battery storage? Yes, you must get Permission to Operate (PTO) from PG&E when installing grid-connected battery storage in Foster City.
Here is a quick summary of what you need to know:
• Why a PG&E PTO is required: Adding a battery is considered a major modification to your energy system, which triggers a new interconnection review under California's Rule 21 (even if your solar panels already have PTO). • What happens without it: Until the PTO is granted, the battery is effectively disabled. It cannot provide backup power during an outage or discharge energy to your home or the grid.
• The process: Your installer must submit system documents (like diagrams and equipment specs) to PG&E, install the battery, pass a city inspection, and upload the final clearance to PG&E.
• Timeline: Once the final clearance is submitted, PG&E typically issues PTO within 5 to 30 business days.
Note: You may not use your battery until PTO is granted. If you don't receive PTO within 4 weeks of passing inspection, email:
[email protected].

Eligibility & Requirements
Do I need to have solar panels to qualify for the battery rebate? Yes. To be eligible for the rebate, your new battery storage system must be paired with a residential Solar Photovoltaic (PV) system. This can be a brand-new solar installation happening at the same time, or an addition to an existing solar array on your home. Standalone batteries that charge exclusively from the grid do not qualify for the City’s rebate program.
Is there a minimum battery size requirement? Yes. The battery storage system must have a minimum usable capacity of 5 kWh. Most standard home backup batteries (e.g., Tesla Powerwall, Enphase IQ Battery, LG Chem) easily meet this requirement.
I installed a battery last year. Can I apply retroactively? Unfortunately, no. The rebate is only available for systems that receive final approval of the building permit inspection after the official launch date of this program. Retroactive applications for previously completed projects will not be accepted.
Can I combine this with the City’s existing Solar PV Rebate? Yes! If you are installing a new solar array and a new battery storage system at the same time, you may apply for both the $1,000 Solar PV Rebate and the $1,000 Battery Storage Rebate, provided you meet the requirements for both programs and funding is available.
Permitting & Application Process
Do I need a building permit to install a home battery? Yes. All home battery installations require a building permit to ensure the system is installed safely and in compliance with current building codes. Your licensed contractor will typically handle pulling this permit for you. You cannot apply for the rebate until the permit has passed its final inspection.
How long does it take to receive the rebate check? Rebate checks are issued to the homeowner. Once a complete application is submitted and approved, please allow 4 to 6 weeks for processing and mailing.
Whom do I contact if I have more questions? For questions regarding the program, please email the Housing and Sustainability Division at [email protected] or call (650) 286-3354. For questions regarding building permits and codes, please email the Building Division at [email protected] or call (650) 286-3227.

DEPARTMENT: Administrative Services
SUBJECT: Adding New Job Description of Assistant Public Works Director, Updating Job Description of Associate Civil Engineer, and Approving and Adopting the Amended Pay Plan for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 to Include the New Salary Range for the Assistant Public Works Director
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council/EMID Board of Directors (collectively City Council) adopt the attached resolutions approving the new job description of the Assistant Public Works Director, updated job description of Associate Civil Engineer, and the amended pay plan for FY 2026-2027 to add the salary range for the Assistant Public Works Director.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City Council has adopted a job classification plan that consists of a series of job classifications with associated distinguishing characteristics, examples of duties, statements of required knowledge, skills and abilities and minimum qualifications. The City periodically updates and/or adds to this list of job classifications to address organizational changes, changes in job requirements and/or changes in required duties.
The City/District Manager continues to make adjustments to staffing levels and positions to ensure the organization is able to focus on City Council goals and meet the needs of Item 7.2
the Foster City community. As such, staff is recommending approval of the new job classification and salary range for the Assistant Public Works Director and revisions to the Associate Civil Engineer job description to allow for better internal organizational support and structure and to appropriately staff these two functions.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
Assistant Public Works Director
Public Works requested to add an Assistant Public Works Director position as part of the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 budget process. The Public Works Department is managing an increasing volume and complexity of operations and capital projects across multiple divisions, including Administration/Engineering, Building Maintenance, Streets/Lagoons, Vehicles, Water, and Wastewater. The majority of key leadership staff are eligible for retirement, making succession planning critical to ensure continuity of operations. This position will provide day-to-day executive support and oversight to keep Council priorities and initiatives moving forward and ensure continuity of leadership during emergencies, vacancies, or peak workload periods. The Assistant Public Works Director would report to the Public Works Director and provide an essential leadership bridge as the Department’s workload and operational demands continue to grow.
In addition to providing core municipal services, such as delivery of Capital Improvement Projects, street and lagoon maintenance, fleet support, and facilities maintenance, the Estero Municipal Improvement District functions as a water and wastewater purveyor, which adds operational, regulatory, and emergency-response responsibilities. In comparable cities in the immediate region, including San Carlos, Belmont, Menlo Park, Burlingame, and Millbrae, the Public Works Department is typically supported by an Assistant or Deputy Public Works Director position to provide executive-level operational oversight and continuity of leadership. In several cases, these cities are not responsible for both water and wastewater utility operations and therefore may have a narrower scope of responsibilities than Foster City.
This position will be recruited once the job description is approved with the following salary schedule. The pay plan in Attachment 5 has been updated to add the below salary range for the Assistant Public Works Director. That is the only change made to the pay plan.
