BUSINESS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HALF MOON BAY
AGENDA REPORT
For meeting of: September 15, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
VIA: Matthew Chidester, City Manager
TITLE: CITY COUNCIL PRIORITIES WORKPLAN FOR FISCAL YEARS 2026-28 ______________________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION:
Receive a report and provide feedback on the City Council Priorities Workplan for FYs 2026-28.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with this item. Depending on feedback on the final priorities and workplan, additional funding may be needed to supplement the Recommended Budget for FY 2026-27.
STRATEGIC ELEMENT:
This update supports all Elements of the Strategic Plan.
BACKGROUND:
The City’s Strategic Plan consists of the City Council Strategic Elements, the City Council Priorities, and the Capital Improvement Program. The Strategic Elements are high level objectives, including Fiscal Sustainability, Healthy Communities and Public Safety, Inclusive Governance, and Infrastructure and Environment. These elements provide a long-range vision for the City’s future and a consistent focus for all of the City’s services and operations. The Council Priorities are a short list of key focus areas that may change periodically, as major projects and initiatives are completed, or in response to changes in the economy, regulatory environment, or major emergencies. The Capital Improvement Program is a list of planned construction projects that covers a window of five years.
In preparation for the FY 2026-27 budget, the City Council hosted several listening sessions in February 2026, which allowed the Council to hear directly from members of the community in an open format. The purpose of the sessions was to gain additional insight into the community’s priorities, for consideration by the Council and staff as they identify how resources will be allocated over the next year and beyond.
After the completion of the listening sessions, the City Council held a priority setting workshop on March 14, 2026, for the purpose of identifying priorities for the upcoming fiscal year and beyond.
The workshop was attended by staff and the public, and the Council received updates on: prior year accomplishments; budget status and outlook; current projects, CIP and grants; and the 177
listening sessions feedback. The Council then reviewed the current/upcoming/proposed projects and programs lists, and discussed priorities for the upcoming year.
Based on the discussion of the Council at the workshop, staff prepared a base priorities draft, organized into six categories (Organizational Health and Excellence; Housing; Economic and Community Vitality; Parks and Recreation; Public Health, Safety and Emergency Preparation; and Transportation, Circulation and Mobility), which included projects already underway, projects that are legally mandated, and others that were noted in the priority setting discussion as important to multiple Councilmembers. This draft list was presented to the Council in April, and after a discussion it was determined that the process and priorities list needed to be streamlined and simplified. An ad-hoc committee was assigned to work with Staff on modifications for future discussion by the Council. Due to Council schedules, other competing priorities and projects, and additional challenges, the ad-hoc was not scheduled and has not been able to work with Staff. Instead, Staff made revisions to the draft priorities list for further discussion and direction by Council, and on June 16, 2026, Council was presented with this updated draft. The feedback from that discussion has been incorporated into the attachments for further review and refinement.
DISCUSSION:
One criticism of the previous documents was that it comingled existing projects with potential new projects. This was intended to provide context on the existing workload beyond day-to-day operations, but the structure and format led to confusion due to the sheer number of projects.
To address this, staff has revised the documents and developed two versions with identical information presented in different ways. The first separates the Council Priorities from existing projects and new legal mandates. The two lists remain organized by category for consistency (which categories are subject to change by Council), and Council can now review and evaluate only the Council Priorities while still having the overall workload context available. The second document continues to comingle Council Priorities with Existing Projects and Legal Mandates, but has updated the format to help simplify and clarify the information, making it easier to identify Council Priorities from among the projects. Staff recommends the second version as it provides a consolidated list of strategic priority projects, which really should be viewed in context of each other. On both versions, staff has attempted to organize each category by priority ranking, and includes a status column along with anticipated start dates (by fiscal year quarter) as well as anticipated completion dates, where possible.
Staff seeks any additional direction on the list of priority projects, and ranking of those projects.
Staff will then develop detailed write-ups on each project to be included along with regular updates to the Council on the progress of the projects and provide updates to the community on the City’s Strategic Plan webpage. Staff is also exploring options for an online dashboard for providing updates on the Strategic Priorities, which we hope to implement later this fiscal year.

Strategic Priorities Workplan Summary
Fiscal Years 2026–28
The City Council develops Strategic Elements, annual Priorities, and a Capital Improvement Program to help guide the City’s actions and work plans, and focus efforts on addressing the City’s identified priority initiatives. Together, these comprise the City’s Strategic Plan. The overarching Strategic Elements describe how the City will conduct its operations in service to the community, and are based on the principles and values that outline the City’s purposes. They offer focus toward the City Council’s key priorities, and are aimed at providing high quality public services and facilities in a fiscally sustainable, responsive, and friendly manner, fostering a safe, healthy, and thriving community.
This Strategic Priorities Workplan Summary includes the FY 2026-28 City Council adopted Priorities along with their status or target for kickoff, and anticipated completion quarter. Items marked with an asterisk (*) were also identified as priorities by the Recreation Commission. Below the Council Priorities are other Strategic Priority projects, with similar information.
Attached to this summary document will be detailed overviews of each project, which will include a more detailed project description, milestones and timelines, estimated costs, and existing/needed funding.

Agenda Item 11.D ALPR/Flock Pilot Program Update: Public Comment Submitted by: Kimber Moreland, Half Moon Bay resident, District 2 I'm asking the Council NOT to treat this staff report as a sufficient basis for deciding whether to remain open to extending the Flock/ALPR contract. I'd like the Council to direct the Sheriff's Office to redo or substantially supplement this report before any further decision is made. The current report has significant gaps, lacks the statistical context needed for an informed decision, and in places reads more like advocacy for renewal than a neutral evaluation:
1. The Civil Grand Jury report (“Is Our Flock of ALPR Cameras Properly Tended?”) directed six findings and six recommendations specifically to Half Moon Bay's Town Council: that the City's audit reports were insufficient to substantiate compliance with California law and the City's own ALPR policy (F5); that the City's Flock contract contains no provisions requiring compliance with California ALPR law (F6); that the City could not substantiate it followed its own required process for approving datasharing agreements (F7); that the City's policy lacks written criteria for approving or terminating instate data-sharing relationships (F8); and that the City's stated data retention period does not match what Flock's Transparency Portal and contract actually show (F9), an inconsistency also apparent when comparing the City's own ALPR Policy (30 days by default, up to 6 months if downloaded, up to 1 year if tied to an active investigation) against the Sheriff's countywide policy (30-day purge for nonintelligence Flock data). The Grand Jury's data also show Half Moon Bay had 290 network sharing relationships as of April 2026, far more than comparable jurisdictions like Woodside (3) or South San Francisco (15), with no stated sharing guideline on record. Given findings this specific and this serious, the City's official response, not due to Council until October 6, needs to be reviewed before the Council signals any openness to renewal. Summarizing this as merely “six findings and six recommendations, approximately in the middle of the agencies” gives councilmembers and the public no real sense of what was actually found or how serious it is, which is not enough information to make a sound decision on renewal.
2. The headline statistic (an 88% drop in vehicle burglaries and 89% drop in vehicle thefts) is not explained. It doesn't say how the “2022–2025 year-to-date average” was calculated.
3. The report confirms that the City Manager's mandated quarterly reports to Council, which were supposed to include crime statistics evaluating whether the technology has been beneficial, were never delivered during the pilot's first year. To me this suggest that the Council has never actually received the ongoing evaluation the City's own ALPR policy requires.
4. The report notes 314 agencies had access to the City's ALPR data and 7 had documented sharing issues. It asserts those issues predate the City's units going online and that no City data is believed to have been affected, but offers no audit or verification process to back that up. It's just an assertion.
5. The “Positive Outcomes” section is largely anecdotal, relying on specific dramatic cases, without the hit-to-outcome data that would let anyone judge overall effectiveness. Please see below for potential request to the Sheriffs office to make this report less anecdotal and based off data. 194
6. The City's 2026 ALPR Annual Report, prepared by the Sheriff's Office and submitted to Council, answers this question, and the numbers are far less impressive than the staff report's narrative suggests: 2,781 hotlist hits/alerts over the reporting period produced only 3 stolen vehicle recoveries and 13 suspect apprehensions, a combined 16 concrete outcomes out of 2,781 alerts, roughly a 0.6% hit-to-outcome rate. The Annual Report also contains an internal inconsistency: its summary states 42,051 search queries and 20 investigative leads, while its own data table on the very next page states 8,431 search queries and 17 investigative leads for the same reporting period.
7. More broadly, the report doesn't show what real evidence of effectiveness would look like. To actually demonstrate that ALPR technology is improving public safety in Half Moon Bay, the Sheriff's Office should provide a comparative baseline against similar non-Flock jurisdictions or to HMB prior to installation, a full hit-to-outcome breakdown rather than a handful of anecdotal cases, monthly or quarterly (not multi-year averaged) crime data, and an analysis that separates the effect of the 2023 mobile unit from the 2024–2026 pilot.
To fix this, I'd ask that the Sheriff's Office be directed to provide, before any further decision:
• The methodology behind the 88%/89% crime-reduction figures, including monthly data, not just an average, and an accounting for other factors (e.g., the pre-pilot mobile unit, other policing or staffing changes) that could have contributed
• Year-by-year stolen vehicle and burglary counts for Half Moon Bay for at least three years before the pilot and each year during it, alongside recovery/clearance rates • Total Flock alerts/hits generated for Half Moon Bay cameras by year, and the number of those hits that led to a recovery, arrest, or documented investigative outcome, versus false positives or no action
• The missing quarterly crime-statistic reports to Council, backfilled for the full pilot period • Confirmation, with audit detail, that none of the 7 agencies with documented sharing issues accessed Half Moon Bay data, not just an assertion that it's “not believed” to have happened • The City's planned response to the Grand Jury report's six findings, so Council can weigh them before signaling any direction on renewal
• A comparative baseline showing crime trends over the same period in similar non-Flock jurisdictions, so the Council can see whether Half Moon Bay's drop is unusual or reflects a regional trend unrelated to ALPR
• A corrected and reconciled version of the 2026 ALPR Annual Report, since its summary and its data table report different search query and investigative lead totals for the same period Given that a decision on the extension option must be made by September 28, 2026, I understand the timeline is tight. But a two-year, ongoing surveillance program deserves a report built to inform the public and the Council, not one that reads as a case for renewal. 195
