Mayor Salinas closed the public comment at 8:50 p.m.
Members of the City Council thanked the speakers for their comments and offered comments.
Council Member Syrop moved the item with an amendment indicating that the 2024 Investment Policy be amended to include language in section XV (Banks and Security Dealer Selection) as follows, that the City shall be prohibited from investing funds with any person, private corporation, institution, or other entity identified on the BDS divestment and exclusion list which included Chevron, Intel Caterpillar and Hyundai and over which the City has 1.6 million invested.
Council Member Zermeño seconded the motion.
In response to Council Member Zermeño's inquiry about the potential impact of Council's action, City Manager McAdoo indicated the change to the policy would prevent the City from investing in any company that is on the BDS list, would potentially increase administrative fees, and would constitute a loss of $40,000 in investment income to the city.
Council Member Zermeño asked if the Council would entertain adding to the motion divesting from other companies that deal with fossil fuel.
City Manager McAdoo cautioned the Council about amending the policy without proper analysis of possible implications.
Council Member Zermeño withdrew the addition to the motion of a possible divestment from companies dealing with fossil fuel.
Council Member Andrews asked the motion maker if it would be possible to entertain a socially responsible investment strategy as a whole for the City's investments and asked if the item could be heard at the next Council Budget and Finance Committee meeting and come back to the Council with a recommendation.
Discussion ensued and Council Member Syrop reinstated the motion was that the City shall be prohibited from investing funds with any person, private corporation, institution, or other entity identified on the BDS divestment and exclusion list (BDS movement.net).
In response to Council Member Andrews' inquiry if the motion were to move forward, Finance Director Gonzales confirmed the Council could look at the risk tolerance and the model scenarios at a future meeting.
In response to Council Member Andrews' inquiry about California Asset Management Program (CAMP) as an investment strategy versus Local Agencies Investment Fund, Finance Director Gonzales indicated the City was establishing a CAMP account.
In response to Council Member Roche's inquiry about potential unintended consequences, City Manager McAdoo indicated the City did not have an opportunity to do the research.
Council Member Bonilla Jr. indicated he was uncomfortable going with the BDS list and would be interested in staff doing an analysis on the City's investments and coming to a Council and Budget Finance Committee meeting to help Council understand the implications of divesting from companies and/or corporate notes that are supporting countries that are knowingly committing violations of international law, human rights or war crimes.
Council Member Goldstein noted he was generally in favor of socially responsible investment and wondered if the Council could scope it now for the four companies and give the City the time to research further.
Council Member Syrop indicated he was happy to amend his original motion for the City to divest from Chevron, Hyundai, Intel, and Caterpillar.
In response to Council Member Syrop's inquiry about nuclear weapons, City Manager McAdoo stated the City's anti-nuclear policy was specific.
Council Member Syrop reinstated his revised motion by indicating it was to remove the City from the stocks it currently holds in the four companies and to not reinvest in them; and asked that the Council Budget and Finance Committee revisit an ESG strategy for the portfolio in order to understand the full implications.
Council Member Zermeño agreed to second the revised motion, indicating it will allow folks to know that City staff must do an analysis to ensure the Council was taking the appropriate action.
Mayor Salinas did not support voting on the amendment without proper research or data about potential impacts. Mayor Salinas added that if the motion were to fail, he would recommend considering a referral from Council Member Syrop to have staff, through the Council Budget and Finance Committee, thoroughly examine and do an analysis on the language of a socially responsible investment policy.
Discussion ensued among members of the Council and City staff about the motion on the floor.
Council Member Goldstein noted that since there was a process to divest from the four companies, there was time and a strategy to do that in a safe and responsible manner, even if the decision was made at the meeting.

Council Member Roche indicated the Council did not have facts to make a decision; thought the Council should be discussing a socially responsible investment policy, but disagreed this was the proper way to do it; and noted she would not support the motion.
Council Member Bonilla Jr. favored staff taking the matter to the Council Budget and Finance Committee with a more thorough analysis and then bring it to Council with a recommendation so the Council could make a more informed decision; and noted he would not be supporting the motion.
Council Member Syrop reinstated the motion indicating it was to begin the process of removing the City's holdings in four companies - Chevron, Caterpillar, Hyundai, and Intel; and to adopt the City's Investment Policy.

Discussion ensued among members of the City Council, Associate Planner Richard and Applicant Jeffrey Lawrence and clarification was given as follows: the project proposes 45 trees total (15 existing trees to be preserved and 30 new trees to be planted); the proposal is not near the Chabot College's baseball batting cage and there will be a disclosure about it; consideration would be given to replace the chain-link fence with a solid structure to cancel the noise from the adjacent property; the mailbox is made of heavy-duty aluminum; and the proposed project is not protected under Senate Bill 330 because it requires a rezoning.
Council Member Goldstein recommended that quarter inch steel mailboxes be considered standard requirements.
Mayor Salinas opened the public hearing at 9: 57 p.m.
Ro Aguilar urged the Council to require the developer to build two inclusionary owner-occupied units for low-income households.
Bill Pratt, property owner's relative of proposal, urged the City to streamline approvals to build the infill project for builders like Nuvera Homes.
Mayor Salinas closed the public hearing at 10:02 p.m.
In response to Council Member Andrews' inquiry regarding affordable housing, Associate Planner Richard relayed information indicated that managing one or two units in a small development is difficult from an administrative perspective and in-lieu fees would be used to fund the lowest income housing and meet Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) goals.
Council Member Roche expressed support for the motion based on the Planning Commission recommendation as they had asked the developer to come back with improvements such as moving the mailbox to a safer location, façade upgrades and repurposing of trees.
Council Member Bonilla Jr. made a motion to move the item. Council Member Andrews seconded the motion.
In response to Council Member Syrop's inquiry about the in-lieu fee, Associate Planner Richard noted the applicant will be required to pay an in-lieu fee according to the Master Fee Schedule and they will be matched to fund affordable development.
Council Member Goldstein offered an amendment to add a condition of approval for the mailbox to be a quarter inch steel with circular locks because they are proven to be the safest.
Council Member Bonilla Jr. indicated the Planning Commission had done its diligence related to mailboxes and did not accept the amendment to the motion.
It was moved by Council Member Bonilla Jr., seconded by Council Member Andrews, and carried by the following roll call vote, to adopt the resolution.
