CLOSED SESSION ANNOUNCEMENT
The City Council convened in closed session at 5:30 p.m., with all members present and no public comment, regarding three items: 1) public employment pursuant to Government Code section 54957 regarding the annual performance evaluation for City Attorney, City Manager, and City Clerk; 2) conference with labor negotiators pursuant to Government Code section 54957.6 regarding all labor groups; and 3) conference with legal counsel pursuant to Government Code section 54956.9(d)(4) regarding one anticipated litigation case. City Attorney Lawson reported the Council discussed Items 1 and 2 but took no reportable action.
Mayor Salinas noted there was no reportable action related to Item 3. The closed session adjourned at 7:00 p.m.
PRESENTATIONS
Mayor Salinas read a proclamation declaring the month of June as LGBTQIA + Pride Month in the City of Hayward. Mr. Robert Lopez and Ms. Collins with Project Eden's Lambda Youth Project at Horizon Services thanked the Council for such a recognition.
PUBLIC COMMENTS
Ms. Suzanne Luther, Hayward Concerned Citizens member, asked if the City was preparing to send information on fines for fireworks violation in anticipation of the upcoming Fourth of July holiday.
Ms. Peggy Guernsey stated that while she was proud that Hayward was the first city nationally to have a Gay Prom, she was saddened that local public schools do not allow nor encourage students to celebrate gay pride at their own school proms.
Mr. Robert Stevens, Hayward resident, spoke about Comcast's use of the public right of way for power backup cabinets and the City's process to grant revocable encroachment permits with no policy regarding outreach, shared he was going to request at the meeting between the neighborhood and Comcast that the permit be revoked under Section 7-2.16 of the Municipal Code, and encouraged the Council to review encroachment permit policies.
Dr. Robert Carlson, Old Highlands Homeowners Association (OHHA) member, followed Mr.
Stevens' concern noting that in recent years OHHA and the City had conferred and reached compromise on a few issues, and stressed that a notice via a doorhanger was a one-way communication and did not serve to have a dialogue which he urged to have in maintaining a relationship with OHHA.
Mr. Gabriel Altamirano, South Hayward Now Ahora (SHNA) member, expressed concern the proposed project for the St. Regis facility did not have any community input on its scope, noted there were adverse impacts including traffic, drug use, and frequent calls for police/fire service; and requested that the Council and Planning Division hold public hearings regarding conditions of the project to protect service recipients.
CITY MANGAGER'S COMMENTS

19. Sidewalk Vending Ordinance: Review and Discuss Draft Program Policies for an Amendment to the Hayward Municipal Code to Comply with Senate Bill (SB) 946, the "Safe Sidewalk Vending Act" WS 23-023
Staff report submitted by Development Services Director Buizer dated June 6, 2023, was filed.
Acting Development Services Director Buizer introduced Senior Planner Thompson and Assistant Planner Ochoa who provided a synopsis of the staff report.
Mayor Salinas opened the public comment period at 7:55 p.m.
The following individuals spoke against sidewalk vending because there were concerns with sanitation, food preparation, use of local law enforcement to regulate street vendors, proper permitting, sale of alcohol, trash generated in neighborhoods, congestion of traffic generated by street vending; noted street vendors do not pay sales tax, rent, utility bills, and employee related costs as do brick-and-mortar businesses which create an unfair competition; and sidewalk vending would further diminish the appearance of Hayward neighborhoods.
Ms. Peggy Guernsey, Hayward resident
Mr. Luis Barba, La Casita Restaurant owner, via a Spanish interpreter Mr. Bruce Richmond, Hayward resident
Mr. Alejandro Gamarra, Metro Taquero owner
Ms. Perla Corona was interested in receiving information on how to obtain a business permit and sales tax; and noted that sidewalk vendors were prospective business owners who could work cooperatively with one another.
Mr. Gabriel Altamirano, South Hayward Now Ahora (SHNA) member, was pleased that the proposed ordinance will make it easier for vendors to obtain mobile food facility permits to vend which will address health and safety concerns and protect brick-and-mortar businesses and favored equitable enforcement in all areas of Hayward.
Mr. Robert McKay expressed concern about the welfare and health of potential patrons of sidewalk vendors and suggested that the enforcement mechanisms in the proposed ordinance be more stringent and not just a verbal or written notice.
Mr. Antonio Solorio, Tacos Uruapan owner, noted that sidewalk vending evolved in the City from being permitted in commercial areas to restricted in industrial areas, and further expanded with the pandemic; and commented that if a balance was not attained, there would soon be more street vendors than businesses in the City.
Mr. Jorge Flores, Don Polvoron owner, suggested freeing taxes for brick-and-mortar businesses to level the playing field; noted that sidewalk vending would prevent the progression of the city; added that most established businesses struggled and started small, received education, consulted nonprofit organizations; and noted that government agencies gave loans to start a business.
Mr. Diego Cervantes noted he understood the need to have regulations in place and urged the City not to be too restrictive; and indicated that street vendors provided food options.
Ms. Andrea Salazar noted that SB 946 provided reasonable guidelines to protect vulnerable and historically marginalized and oppressed communities, mentioned that Hayward's mission and status as a sanctuary city should be considered, and added that being equity oriented was important for moving forward with the proposed ordinance.
Ms. Suzanne Luther, Hayward Concerned Citizens member, noted that if street vendors do not pay taxes, the city should give established businesses that pay taxes and employee-related costs the same fair chance at succeeding, and asked Council to take comments made by business owners into consideration.
Mr. Christian Estrada, Hayward resident, noted that each month the number of street vendors was increasing, noted that a vendor that roasts chicken near a building was melting the paint off a building, and suggested that the proposed regulation consider the distance requirement from building entrances and exits to vending operations.
Mayor Salinas closed the public comment period at 8:28 p.m.
Members of the City Council thanked members of the public for their comments and advocacy on such an important item, commended staff on the community outreach and research that went into drafting a policy, and thanked residents who participated in the survey.
Discussion ensued among members of the City Council and City staff regarding: no sidewalk vendor shall vend within 15 feet from driveway or alleyway, within 100 feet of any emergency facility (Fire Station, Police Station, Hospital); sidewalk vendors are prohibited from entering or encroaching onto private property; per SB 946, sidewalk vendors could not be set up close to brick-and-mortar restaurants based on health safety and welfare but prohibitions could not depend on economic competition; mobile food facility (MMF) permit costs ($500-$700) and enforcement through the Alameda County Department of Environmental Health (ACEH); proposed enforcement and fines for vending without a sidewalk vending permit or other provisions of the regulations; Code Enforcement Division would be undertaking the effort to enforce provisions in the proposed ordinance; mechanism for computing sales tax and business license; implementation plan after the ordinance is adopted; and the regulations did not 12| June 6. 2023

prohibit creating spaces in the City to allow vendors to congregate and staff had conversations with HARD and farmers market regarding potential places for street vendors.
Council Member Syrop indicated that he wanted to ensure that the ordinance was not too restrictive or trying to solve problems that were actually not happening; wanted to ensure that technical assistance and help through the compliance process were provided if new regulations were being enforced, especially if individuals were not native English speakers and wanted to take cultural sensitivity into account; was opposed to the additional guideline of no vending or establish a setback requirement from public plazas; noted that restricting vending within landscaped areas was too broad and was amenable to vendors being on public landscaped areas as long the areas were not severely damaged; was opposed to limiting sidewalk vendors in residential zones to roaming only; supported no vending in designated parking zones and stressed this should be required as opposed to optional; noted the timeframe (9am-7pm) for sidewalk vending activities should be expanded; noted that requiring sidewalk vendors to provide a trash receptacle for customers seemed unrealistic; was strongly opposed to sidewalk vendors not being able to erect freestanding appurtenances adjacent to their person, cart, wagon, or rack for vending activities because it felt unreasonable and overly stringent; supported sidewalk vendors not able to sell or offer to sell services for any type of rental activity; noted that sanitation and taxation guidelines were missing as well as traffic safety guidelines; noted that having vendors be 50 feet from one another was restrictive and favored that they congregate away from brick-and-mortar businesses and congregate closer to one another; appreciated the alternative enforcement approach indicating that he liked that it was not punitive and rather there was an educational component; and suggested that the Economic Development Department provide any technical support as a part of enforcement, emphasizing that vendors should be permitted.
Council Member Zermeño expressed he was not pleased with the 100 feet distance limitation for sidewalk vending near brick-and-mortar restaurants due to SB 946; suggested increasing the distance between stationary sidewalk vendors from 50 feet to 200 feet or 300 feet; suggested identifying a centrally located place, similar to a marketplace, where street vendors could vend according to permits and regulations in place; urged the importance of sidewalk vendors to conduct business in a sustainable manner including no use of Styrofoam products and composting waste practice; agreed with staffs recommendations; requested to have information available on how to start a business in English and Spanish; noted the ordinance was missing a definition of what a street vendor is; noted that the guidelines should include language ensuring that vendors cannot cook onsite and perishables should be properly refrigerated; and urged business owners to also reach out to state legislators for help in identifying solutions.
Council Member Goldstein suggested that staff consider adding a health-related liability insurance for vendors as a requirement to help protect the public from food-borne illness; urged sidewalk vendors to look at the business community where they want to locate in determining what type of business would be welcoming and complimentary; asked staff to investigate if the Franchise Tax Board would compute some type of value for proceeds from the street vendor in efforts to level the playing field; stated that he was not in favor of prohibiting freestanding appurtenances, as permitting this would be doing the community a favor by allowing for a place for customers to sit and vendors to rest unless it became a health, safety, or welfare issue; was concerned that if trash collection prohibitions were too stringent, this could contribute to illegal dumping being resorted to and recommended exploring if vendors could take trash to the corporation yard or receive a discount for taking trash to Davis Street Transfer Station or some other facility; agreed generally with the local and operational guidelines; concurred with Council Member Zermeño's comments about exploring a way for sidewalk vendors and brick-and-mortar businesses to work cooperatively, and stated that his reading of SB 946 was that the City could define what vendors exist at a location like a farmers market.
Council Member Bonilla Jr. wanted to ensure the ordinance strikes the right balance for sidewalk vendors and brick-and-mortar businesses including having clear guidelines that improve safety, getting taxes paid, and supporting entrepreneurship; agreed with restricting sidewalk vending in parking structures and lots and wanted to ensure the ordinance has clear language on how the City would authorize vending in a city owned property; wondered if there was a strategic way in assigning areas on certain days where vendors could vend supported by the City via marketing and provision of restrooms; suggested exploring scholarships for farmers markets as a way to bring street vendors to farmers markets; agreed with having clear definition on what sidewalk vending is; wondered if the ordinance would apply to individual's private driveways if they were selling goods from their own property; wondered how to avoid street-kitchens on the sidewalk but enabling vending in a way that is safe; suggested that staff consider community survey responses related to vending in parks; wondered if ARPA funds or Economic Development funds could help cover the cost of one time vendors' permit or if vendors could receive technical assistance to help get through the permitting process; agreed with restricting sidewalk vendors within a park if the City has signed an agreement for concessions; agreed with the proposed sidewalk vending times (9am-7pm), and asked if there could be a stipulation for some vendors to be open later in the downtown to support patrons; wanted to ensure that street vendors are not leaving litter and causing blight across the city and requested that staff further explore proper disposal of customer trash; was interested in learning how people would voice locational or operational violations; did not support prohibiting erecting freestanding appurtenances adjacent to the vendors' person, cart, wagon; appreciated the approach on education before fines and progressive enforcement action and requested that language about ceasing operations be clearly articulated; agreed with prohibiting the sale of merchandise such as marijuana or adult-oriented products; and did not support limiting sidewalk vendors in residential zones to roaming only.
Council Member Roche confirmed from staff that the ordinance was not addressing sanitation and food handling because the enforcement mechanism resided with the ACDEH; added that SB 946 prohibited the City from stating that sidewalk vendors could not set up in from of businesses; spoke about the enactment of SB 946 and how the City was attempting to restore balance without villainizing street vending; appreciated the educational component in the 14 June 6. 2023

ordinance; expressed that the expansion of vendors resulted from permission by lack of enforcement and could be attributable to lack of staff at county and state levels for enforcement; supported businesses that are in compliance by getting permits and paying taxes; agreed that trash receptacles for street vendors were necessary and asked that the proposed guideline be added to the ordinance as well as the guideline requiring sidewalk vendors to clean up any grease or fluid related to their vending activities; wanted to ensure the program implementation contained an education component; requested that staff ensure that residents could use Access Hayward to request enforcement of a food vendor that is not operating properly and add a link to ACDEH for health code related violations; and stated she supported staff's recommended policy language.
Council Member Andrews emphasized it was important to have education and a pathway to supporting small businesses get started; supported the recommendation to include an education component prior to enforcement; suggested partnering with HARD as there were underutilized facilities that could support vendors and recommended conducting outreach to identified communities before establishing locations; noted that vendors should be reminded of the farmers market and the Chabot College Flea Market as additional opportunity sites and Hayward Chamber of Commerce, Small Business Development, and Alliance as resources; noted one of the main concerns with street vending was the public safety issue at medians, e.g., Jackson Street and Hesperian Boulevard; added that some vendors operating directly under trees posed potential fire hazard and hoped the Fire Department could help educate; echoed the request to use Access Hayward to request enforcement; asked staff to look into a checklist, similar to the one from San Leandro, which includes information on what mobility facilities should have, the definition of a mobile food vendor and special requirements such as a vendor could not be on the sex offender registry, distance from a restaurant; and was assured that implementation would include materials available in different languages and language assistance for workshops planned with ACDEH and community-based organizations.
Mayor Salinas appreciated the patience of business owners who advocated on behalf of restaurants; echoed the comment of Council's desire to strike a balance for street vendors and brick-and-mortar businesses; noted the City was attempting to curate a process despite limitations by the State; stressed the importance of requiring liability insurance noting this was not too restrictive; favored uniform signage requirements with signs including contact information; supported requiring trash receptacles and suggested designating greenways for street vending; stated the goal was also to protect neighborhood aesthetics and to prevent unwieldy street vendors; noted that survey results showed support for street vending and interviews of street vendors revealed they want to comply with the ordinance and get permitted; requested that staff explore pushing the distance requirement from restaurants to street vendors as it was unequitable that street vendors could set up in front of a brick-and- mortar restaurant and sell the same food items.
The City Council took a recess at 9:35 p.m., and Mayor Salinas reconvened the meeting at 9:42 p.m.
