2. Consolidated Transcribed Comments

3. Additional Comments Received via Website Submission and Paper Survey 1 Background
In preparation for the FY 2024-25 budget, the City Council hosted three in-person Listening Sessions, one in English with Spanish interpretation and two in Spanish with English interpretation, which allowed the Council and Staff to hear directly from members of the community, in an open format. The City website also provided alternative sources of feedback submission for individuals that could not attend the listening sessions or chose not to comment at the sessions.

This Listening Sessions Summary document provides an overview of those sessions including community input received online.

Listening Sessions Summary
The purpose of the listening sessions was to hear directly from the community about their priorities for the coming year and beyond. The sessions were broadly noticed through the following means:
• City of Half Moon Bay Website
• Half Moon Bay eNews
• Nextdoor, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter
• Radio Advertisements on KHMB
• Half Moon Bay Review – online advertisements
The sessions were held on the following dates:

Listening Session 1 – In Person; English (Spanish interpretation provided) Thursday, February 1
6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.

Ted Adcock Community Center, 535 Kelly Avenue

Listening Session 3 – In Person; Spanish (English interpretation provided) Friday, February 16
5:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.

Ted Adcock Community Center, 535 Kelly Avenue
2 Listening Sessions Format:

At each session, a PowerPoint Presentation displayed the City’s five Council Priorities for FYs 2022-24 which is attached as Appendix 1.

The Listening Sessions were facilitated by City staff. Community members were given the opportunity to comment, one at a time, on any topic or topics of their choosing. Speakers were not given a time limit, but mostly kept their comments to a reasonable length. Once all attendees had the opportunity to speak, individuals were encouraged to provide additional comments. In accordance with the Brown Act, City Council and staff limited responses to general information only. Community input was recorded in a document by staff which is attached for reference.

Each session lasted approximately 2 hours.

Session Highlights:

Attendance: Total attendance for the three sessions was around 110 participants. • Of the attendees, some were present at more than one session. Demographic information was not collected from the participants; but anecdotally, middle-aged adults were most heavily represented followed by Latinos and Seniors. Youth were unrepresented compared to previous years, and young adult participation has historically been underrepresented.

Key Themes: Several topic areas were brought up frequently in the sessions, including the following:
• Affordable Housing (farmworker housing, low-income housing, aging population housing, additional Measure D applications for housing, tenant rights) • Sustainability (more trash receptacles)
• Emergency Preparedness (habitability along the creek – unacceptable, lack of healthcare services on the coast, flooding)
• Public Safety (safety concerns for youth and gang activity, more security and safety measures at high school and middle school)
• Economic Recovery and Development (ensuring we maintain small town look/feel, high cost of living makes it hard to retain talent, keep CSFA – important for nonprofits work) • Transportation Management (improve walkability in the city, increase transportation connection corridors, public transit difficult, expedite repairs on 92) • Community Services (seniors, youth, immigrants)
• Recreation/City Facilities (community pool, community garden, more parks and programs, programs with Sheriff’s office)
3 • Law and Code Enforcement
Of the main themes, Affordable Housing, Public Health, Safety, Emergency Preparation, Economic Recovery and Development, Community Climate Resilience, and Sustainability related to existing Council Priorities for Fiscal Years 2023-25.

Affordable Housing, specifically farmworker housing, was an overarching theme for all three sessions. Emergency Preparedness and Public Safety related topics were brought forth in all three sessions as well, and included comments regarding addressing increased gang activity and how to address it at a youth level as well as improve safety and security. Community support for a community garden and community pool was also noted.

Community Climate Resilience and Sustainability as well as Economic Development and Recovery related comments were also shared at each session, which included the request to keep the small-town charm in any work that is done, as well as provide services to help people get jobs and start businesses.

Appendix 2 (Consolidated Comments) contains transcribed notes taken during each of the Listening Sessions. These notes have been categorized by general topic, at Staff’s discretion, to help simplify review and summary of the information.

Survey Feedback:

In February, the City made an online survey available on the City Website at www.hmbcity.com/listeningsessions. As of March 5, 2024, there were 15 submissions received through the feedback form, and 30 visits to the feedback page. The online submissions varied in responses touching on each priority, including affordable housing for farmworkers, safe bicycle & pedestrian access and trail extensions, public safety, and additional recreation services and amenities including a community swimming pool.

Conclusion
Overall, the listening sessions were well received, as in past years. Community feedback indicated that five of the Council’s current priorities (Affordable Housing; Public Health, Safety, and Emergency Preparation; Economic Development; Community Climate Resilience and Sustainability; and Transportation, Circulation, and Mobility) appear to remain relevant to the community but have evolved from their original contexts in response to real-time events. Additional issues that could be considered as potential priorities in the future include Community Services, Communication, Education, and Law/Code Enforcement. Some comments that did not emerge as a major topic may be addressed by the City without elevating to the level of an annual priority. Department 4 staff will review the comments and develop plans to address issues that may be resolved within existing budgets and workloads.

As the Council considers its plans for the FY 2024-25 budget, this report serves as a summary of broad community input on where and how to prioritize the City’s resources.

City Council’s next steps include consideration of this material, defining priorities for FY 2024-26, and establishing an associated budget consistent with supporting the priorities. 2023-2025 Priorities:
o Affordable Housing
o Public Health, Safety, and Emergency Preparation
o Community Climate Resilience and Sustainability
o Economic Recovery and Development
o Transportation, Circulation, and Mobility

● Human habitability along the creek is unacceptable
● Riparian corridor is in bad shape near Safeway +
● Getting people off the creek taking care of the creek ● Disagrees with the clearing of the vegetation, it has changed the bank to bank distance from 20 feet to over 34 feet
● Poor development practices, poor storm drainage practices is really destructive, the sediment in HMB is poorly understood ○ Understand sources of water, retain sources of water, that is the protection and recreation of wetlands
● Lack of healthcare services on the coast – enough demand of the service, share it between healthcare providers
● Lab facilities on the coast would turn into medical facilities ● Concerned about trash south of coastal trail- there needs to be more trash cans.
● Caltrans doesnt clean their culverts Culvert on Highway 1 – not addressing the issue – excessive water
Recreation / City Facilities ∉ Corp yard does not fit the look of small-town vibes. ∉ CFOG- Wants to build a community garden on Magnolia

○ Educate public
○ Improve both mental and physical health
○ Beautify the neighborhood in the process
○ Create a native habitat garden
∉ Seeking donation from the City for water funding (40,000) ∉ The city could do better thinking about rec- should be more grass fields for families, should be more accessible, city does not provide facilities for its residents.
∉ Rec department should add more programs every year.

Basketball tournaments/ swimming lessons at a small price. ∉ HMB should seek more grant money to support rec
facilities/program

Economic Recovery /
Development
● The city is drifting away from small town look; 555 Kelly does not belong in HMB.
● The welcoming sign should be changed to a more historic look.
● Streetscape- will not work in our area, we rely on main street a lot to commute, parallel parking would not work on main street. Make spaces for larger vehicles, put up signs with parking warning signs. Too much furniture on streets
● Hard to attract and retain talent in HMB due to cost of living. ● CRI- Many initiatives have come to fruition.
● CSFA- has allowed COAST Pride to provide mental health counseling. Participating in the Cohort has allowed the organization to build relationships with other organizations involved, through these relationships they were able to receive over 20 letters of support for Allcove model. Wishes to continue the program.+++
○ 1.7 million grant for mental health services for youth ● Encourage you to prioritize that CSFA line
○ When you fund the grantees you are indicating your
commitment to your non profit partners, and
supporting families and seniors that live in this
community
Traffic / Transportation ∉ Poplar Street + – sidewalk takes up a lot of landscaping in the front yard, hides the house from the street, spoke with Jonathan Woo, there’s a street, parking area, arbor was sticking out into that area, jog the pathway around that, the property line wasn’t where we thought it was, took out 18 inches of my property, van sticking out into the walkway, street improvements have gotten so wide
, should park on
street+
∉ Improve walkability of the city, make it easier to walk make it easier to bike

same in the rear, build no more than two stories,
community style living
○ Lot of shiny metal fences around the corp yard or the development, along the school
○ Welcoming sign old one had more flavor– see historic
○ Streetscape: we rely on mainstreet to get through,
slowing it down doesn’t make sense, taking away

Vivienda Asequible
● Es necesario que haya viviendas asequibles más estables para nuestra comunidad. Y debe seguir siendo una prioridad para el consejo. +
● El proceso de construcción de viviendas asequibles debe ser más rápido para abordar la inseguridad de la vivienda en la costa.
● Algunas personas viven en condiciones terribles.
● Las familias de bajos ingresos solo buscan una vivienda asequible
● Después del tiroteo nada ha cambiado, las condiciones de los trabajadores agrícolas no han cambiado
● Las donaciones que han recibido los senadores deberían utilizarse para proyectos de vivienda. No le gusta que el sub arrendamiento sea una opción para poder pagar el alquiler. ● Las oportunidades de vivienda son raras en Half Moon Bay, ha estado buscando durante alrededor de 8 meses.
● Gente que se aprovecha de que no hay control de alquileres. ● Los alquileres están subiendo porque durante el covid tenían que seguir igual, ahora suben mucho; otros costos han
subido, gasolina, alimentos, etc.; El costo de la vida sigue subiendo.
● No utilizar todos los fondos solo para el nuevo desarrollo.

Tenemos que hacer otras cosas también.
● La gente sigue abandonando HMB porque es demasiado caro. ● Razones por las que las personas no obtienen vivienda cuando está disponible: las mascotas están bien, los niños no; Los precios son muy caros; Los depósitos, además del primer mes y el último mes, son muy caros.
● Es necesario que haya más recursos para los miembros de la comunidad, ella vive en un remolque cerca de moonridge; Es imposible poder encontrar un lugar donde vivir trabajando con el salario mínimo. Ha ido a ALAS y les han cerrado las puertas.
● Necesidad de construir más viviendas, más rapido
● Las personas saben que están siendo maltratadas, pero no saben cuáles son sus derechos ni cómo defenderse.
● Las personas deben saber cuáles son sus derechos, ya sean derechos de inquilinos o tengan que ver con la renta.

Priorities:

1. Reform/change procurement processes to make better
use of tax dollars. "That's just what is costs these days" is a lazy excuse for accepting insane bid proposals. Look
harder, fight harder. Don't do a project if the cost is not reasonable. Tell contrctors/bidders "no" an watch them
sharpen their pencils. Spend every dollar as if it were your own money. Examples: Recent trail repair north of Poplar, proposed Kelly Ave housing project - insane levels of
spending.

2. Swimming pool - would benefit the entire community.

Embarrassing that a town of 13,000 people with such
wealth does not have a public pool. Either work with the School District to do a joint project on District land, or find City land to do it on. OR, if any large
development/subdivision project comes up (Podesta,
Dunes) make building a public access swimming pool a
concession/permit condition.

For too many years now the focus has swung from
providing the residents the needs they pay taxes for to "what else can we do for the tourists". Frankly, there is an exponentially higher percentage of concern now for
tourists needs than ever and increasingly less concern for the residents needs. Years ago one of our elected leaders said "widening 92 would only increase the number of
accidents because it's a proven fact that the wider the road the faster the drivers go" Now, that person is strongly behind widening Poplar St. so the visitors can drive their RV's, their racing bikes and speed down a RESIDENTIAL
road. When will we finally see the same amount of effort put in to benefit the residents who pay the taxes and vote? Slowly we went from becoming a "little" Carmel to now,
more and more, like a "little Daly City"...wide roads,
neighbors more distant, no trees, painted streets, etc., etc.

We've slowly lost the bucolic charm. A lot of us are turning our former neighborhood homes into rentals and moved to a better environment. Soon it will all be rentals. It may already be too late to turn this around.

In my opinion, top priorities for our city are finding ways to provide affordable housing, funding our schools properly, and doing something about the traffic congestion we face on Highways 92 and 1.

January 29, 2024, 7:20 AM
Can you please move forward with the infrastructure
projects. The poplar street project being number one.

This is important for our children’s safety who travel to school this way. It will also encourage more children and adults to use bikes versus a car if there is more space to ride. Also please consider adding permanent bathroom to the poplar beach parking lot. Thanks for all the work you all do.

This is about the priority of ADU permits for local
multigenerational families. Our case:

Anna & I have settled in Half Moon Bay in 1999, so we are coming up on a quarter century here. Raised our two
daughters (Natalia & Hanna) here - adults now, who left for the big world.

Five months ago Natalia came back with her family -
husband and our first granddaughter (now 14 months old), They were looking for a home on the coast - couldn’t find one that they could afford. So now we are three
generations living in our average house. [ 3 bd 2,130 sq ft ]
Considering the general housing situation, our ages and our life priorities, we would like to build a small ADU just for us, grandparents. Not for rent, not for AirBnB.

So our humble request is that, in cases like ours, you
permit ADU construction outside the limited yearly pool.

Or at least add extra points that account for such

Connecting the Coastside by providing safe routes for
walking and rolling is an imperative in addressing
transportation inequity and providing a remedy to
everyone’s favorite problem, traffic. The city must work with county and regional agencies such as C/CAG,
SMCTA, and CalTrans to secure funding and support for
several priorities:
1) creation of an Eastside parallel trail connecting the South of town to Moonridge/Cañada Cove/Ocean Colony,
2) improvement and creation of safe streets within
neighborhoods surrounding school zones (including
signage, visible striping, and enforcement of sidewalk
encroachment),
3) pursuit of a complete streets approach to Highway 1 as it passes through town from the south end to the existing trail north of Strawflower Village,
4) addressing and correcting dangerous crossings created by the intersection of the Naomi Patridge trail with streets in the Arleta Park neighborhood.

Without safe streets and connected trails for pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles, there is no point in
encouraging people to give up using their cars: residents and tourists alike must first feel that they can do so safely.

The city has the tremendous opportunity to remedy
existing problems in a few key aforementioned areas, and by doing so it can reduce traffic congestion, encourage healthy non-car based lifestyles, and provide viable safe transportation routes for visitors and all members of the community.

February 2, 2024, 11:04 AM
Thank you for your past and ongoing efforts to make
walking and bicycling easier and safer in Half Moon Bay.

Please continue to prioritize pedestrian and bicycle safety and connectivity infrastructure projects, specifically
projects that positively impact school children and
vulnerable populations including seniors and low-income communities. Safe and connected infrastructure that
prioritizes pedestrians and bicyclists is one way to improve the ongoing problem of traffic congestion. More
community members, including school children, will
choose active transportation when safe and connected
pathways become available. Please continue to work with Caltrans to improve safety along Highway 1 by making
intersections and crossings safer, and building a complete separated multimodal pathway along the eastside of
Highway 1 connecting with the Midcoast Multimodal Trail and continuing to the south end of Half Moon Bay, to
include a pathway to the Moonridge community.

Thank you for providing listening sessions. I hope the city prioritizes the completion of bike/ walking path along the eastside of Highway 1 from Frenchman's Creek to Main St.

The neighborhoods along the eastside deserve to have
safe, equitable access to our coastal trail and downtown.

Currently, school children sprint across hwy 1 and women push baby strollers on the hwy shoulder because there is no safe access. It is a very sad and dangerous sight. Please ensure this public safety measure is a top priority. Thank you.

Please prioritize high visibility signage directing drivers on Highway 1 and 92 to the historic Downtown business
neighborhood. As a small business on Main Street, I can deliver more sales tax to the city if I get more foot traffic into my store. As a minor proof point, I changed the
rudimentary A-frame free-standing signs I place in front of my building during open hours and foot traffic more than doubled this February vs last year, from 136 to 350. I can only imagine the effect that proper signage on the highway will have for all Downtown Main Street businesses.

Thank you,

Now that the City has been advised of safety concerns at Highway 1 and Redondo Beach Road, priority should be
given to provide safety enhancements for left turns to and from Highway 1 to and from Redondo Beach Road.

Additionally, safety enhancements should be provided on Redondo Beach Road to provide vehicles with or without
horse trailers access to/from the newly created beach
access area. Safety can be accomplished without
increasing roadway capacity. Signage and hours of
operation at new Redondo Beach Access needs to be
adopted for enforcement.

Honorable City Council,
Please add funding-prioritizing the off Ca 1 parallel bikeped trail from Wavecrest-Camerons Pub to Miramontes point Rd. Future urban growth planned along x Miramontes Point rd dramatically ups the need for this off Ca 1 link.

I would ask that the City prioritize quality of life and public safety for residents. That means safe ways to get around town, good roads and reliable electricity.

Specifically, I would echo other suggestions to continue and complete the efforts to create an east side
bicycle/walking path next to Highway 1 so that we can
move children, strollers, walkers and bicycles off the
highway and reduce accidents and fatalities.

I would also request that before looking at expanding
infrastructure the City invest in maintaining the
infrastructure that we already have. Our local roads are minefields of potholes, broken pavement and pools of
trash and broken glass. The roads need to be fixed and the trash needs to be collected and disposed of.

We also have far too many power outages due to falling
trees/tree limbs. The City needs to cut the trees and
bushes away from our power lines so that we are less
impacted by storm damage. It is insane that we lose power at least once each month in some parts of HMB during the rainy season.

If you can fix the roads, complete the bike trail and keep the lights on you'd have a fantastic year. If there's time after that for other priorities I would love to see a
community center building that could be used by local
nonprofits and community groups for meetings/activities in the northern part of the city limits. Right now there are no places for community groups to meet on much of the
Coastside. But that should not be a priority until public safety and quality of life issues are resolved.

The largest issue I see on the table, and that should be addressed first, would be public safety. If the fires were not an eye opener a few years ago, the shootings should have been. Getting in and out of the community during an emergency (and hopefully not on a high traffic weekend
day) would be impossible and we are all sitting ducks for fires, tsunami's and more.

Housing cannot be the priority. We cannot effectively deal with our own community in an emergency now! Why are
we adding housing, when we can't even support the people we have? (people don't need to live in HMB - they can live in other towns). Dealing with our roads, emergency
response. Just so much we HAVEN'T done to build our
precious infrastructure here... it is frightening.

Why aren't we making sure the people we do have are
safe? We should also address the poor conditions of our roads and the crime. There is so much more that we need to invest in, to make sure that this is a safe place to live for those that are already here.

Civil society needs to support everyone, but "everyone" must include the natural world, if humanity is to survive.

We are 100% dependent on the existence and welfare of
other species (e.g. half of the cells in our bodies are not human cells! They are bacteria or fungi).

Firstly, thank you for providing this opportunity to give feedback.

I agree with other comments regarding the continual
electricity outages we have every year. PG & E need to
have a more robust back up plan to keep the power on. We should be provided a reasonable credit if power is lost for 2 hours or more. I know there are moves to ban gas cookers, but we should resist this. I recently lost power for three days but was able to cook food and have hot drinks
because I had a gas cooker.

Our roads are in a bad way, it seems repairs to the roads last year are failing this year, we should hold the contractor liable for poor work and have them fix the potholes at no cost.

We need more lower income housing and no more hotels,
Why would we need a Hilton hotel by the fire station? Use that land for low-income homes instead.

Lastly, can we introduce a local ordinance that stops the very noisy garbage disposal companies collecting garbage at 4am and 6am!!! Perhaps have collections between 7am
and 6pm Mon-Fri? While also banning leaf blowers, since these are too loud and impact air quality.
