Council Member Roche emphasized that the goal was to keep working with CRIL.
In response to Council Member Andrews' inquiry about Love Never Fails' funding request and opportunities for securing additional funding for larger efforts, Community Services Manager Lobedan noted the allocation through Community Agency funding was limited and staff would incorporate suggestions for the agency around capital campaign fundraising.
Council Member Syrop commented he did not see the Alameda County Food Bank agency in the Community Agency funding recommendations report and inquired about CSC's thoughts about services that provide food security. Community Services Manager Lobedan shared the Alameda County Community Food Bank agency told the City they would not apply for funds this year, and staff would confirm that the agency would continue to provide services to the Hayward community. CSC Vice Chair Bruckner noted the same question was raised during CSC deliberations.
In response to Council Member Syrop's inquiry about Eden Information and Referral (EI&R) 2-1-1 service, Community Services Manager Lobedan indicated that CSC and City staff recommended to leave the competitive pool of funds as is and separately include $50,000 in the budget process to support El&R beginning FY 2025, and staff would verify if the contract included an outreach and marketing campaign.

PH 23-017 Staff report submitted by Public Works Director Ameri, dated April 11, 2023, was filed.
Mayor Salinas announced the report, stated members of the Council had reviewed the staff report, requested to forego staff's presentation, and move to Council questions.
In response to Council Member Roche's inquiry if the two properties would take over the street corner and if the street portion would remain a public right-of-way, City staff noted the property owner would be responsible for maintaining the entire parcel and the site would remain a public right-of-way.
Council Member Syrop shared that in looking at the map, it appeared there was no sidewalk that curved around the street, and asked if this would be converted into a sidewalk. Senior Civil Engineer Sharma responded that would not be accomplished as part of Council's action:
and added that the arrangement was once the adjacent property is acquired and lots are merged, there may be a plan to develop the combined lot with an additional home or expand the existing use, and the addition of a sidewalk would be a requirement of the lot development.
Mayor Salinas opened the public hearing at 8:47 p.m.
Ms. Joan Butler, C Street resident, wanted to know what will happen after the street is vacated and how long would it take for next steps, expressed concern the area is used by individuals to dump trash and mattresses, and supported the addition of a sidewalk on 4th Street.

Mayor Salinas asked staff to address the question posed by Ms. Butler.

Mayor Salinas gave Ms. Butler another opportunity to address the Council. Ms. Butler wondered if she could have, for historical purposes, the old sign that indicates Valley and C Street. Mayor Salinas indicated the City Manager's office would work with Ms. Butler.
Council Member Syrop echoed the desire for the new development to be pedestrian friendly and hoped for this during City negotiations, shared that he lived near the area and wanted to ensure the area was walkable, rollable, accessible to community members, and help set a standard for walkability along 4th Street as there was a need for sidewalks.
In response to Council Member Syrop's inquiry for the timeframe Code Enforcement would address any potential non-compliance issues in the vacated lot, Public Works Director Ameri indicated that as soon as the property is transferred, the owner would be responsible for maintaining the portion of the property, and noted that when a situation arises, Code Enforcement would issue a notice to the property owner and if ignored, then the City could take further steps to bring the property into compliance.
Council Member Syrop offered a motion to move the item.
Council Member Zermeño noted there was an evident problem with litter in the area when he used to visit former residents; was glad the adjacent property owner would be taking over the proposed site; urged that Code Enforcement inspect the site to ensure that it is fenced, kept in good shape or a sidewalk is installed; and seconded the motion.
Regarding the Valley and 4th Street sign, City Attorney Lawson requested that it not be included as a friendly amendment to the motion but addressed offline.

15. Hayward Hangars Airport Hangar Project TEFRA Hearing: Tax and Equity Fiscal Responsibility Act Hearing as Required by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and Adoption of a Resolution Approving the Issuance of Revenue Bonds by the Public Finance Authority in an Amount Not-to-Exceed $5,512,000 to Finance or Refinance the Construction, Furnishing and Equipping of an Aircraft Storage Hangar Project Located at 20995 Skywest Drive, Hayward, California. PH 23-019
Staff report submitted by Assistant City Manager Claussen, dated April 11, 2023, was filed.
Assistant City Manager Claussen announced the item and introduced Mr. James Altschul, President of Hayward Hangars LLC, who provided a synopsis of the report.
In response to Council Member Roche's inquiry as to where on the airport property was Hayward Hangars located, City Manager McAdoo responded it was located farther away from Skywest.
Council Member Syrop thanked Mr. Altschul for the presentation and the continued support of Hayward Airport and asked if the item went before the Planning Commission.
City Manager McAdoo responded the project did not require discretionary review by the Planning Commission and only required a building permit review, and added the project had been in the works for several years.
Council Member Syrop commented that since the project was over $1 million and due to there being a Community Workforce Agreement in place, asked if there were conversations with trade unions about the proposed project. City Manager McAdoo indicated that the proposed project was exempt as the Community Workforce Agreement applied to City projects and the proposal was a private project. Mr. Altschul noted the project was small and added that his company employed a Hayward resident as well as two San Lorenzo residents.
There being no public comment, Mayor Salinas opened and closed the public hearing at 9:05 p.m.
Council Member Zermeño shared that he knew Mr. Altschul through his service on the airport committee, noted the project was good for the airport, and made a motion to move the item.
Council Member Goldstein seconded the motion.
Mayor Salinas thanked Council Members Zermeño and Syrop for their work on the Council Airport Committee.
It was moved by Council Member Zermeño, seconded by Council Member Goldstein, and carried by the following roll call vote, to approve the resolution. 16| April 11. 2023
