Mayor Salinas asked City staff to forgo staff's presentation and asked Interim City Manager Claussen to highlight the purpose of the item. Interim City Manager Claussen explained that most changes in the FY 2025 Master Fee Schedule were incremental, due to cost-of-living adjustments or mandated changes; and noted the most notable change was the addition of fees for the use of Fire Station 6 Regional Training Center, allowing other agencies to use the facilities for training scenarios.
In response to Council Member Bonilla Jr.'s question about potentially changing in-lieu fees, Development Services Director Buizer responded that while the current changes are mostly small adjustments, raising in-lieu fees to incentivize developers to build inclusionary affordable housing would require a new Nexus study.

Staff report submitted by Police Chief Matthews, dated June 25, 2024, was filed.
Police Chief Matthews provided a synopsis of the staff report and highlighted that the UAS (drone) equipment under the list of HPD's Military Equipment usage should have been 64 as opposed to 6.
Council Member Bonilla Jr. indicated the item was approved by the Council Public Safety Committee.
In response to Council Member Bonilla Jr.'s question, Police Chief Matthews responded that the "number two" next to the carbine rifle on the equipment use slide refers to its use by two officers during an officer-involved shooting incident on Foothill Boulevard and behind Safeway.
In response to Council Member Zermeño's question about why a command vehicle is considered military equipment, Police Chief Matthews responded that the designation was likely included by the legislators who authored the bill.
In response to Council Member Syrop's question about the need for new drones, Police Chief Matthews responded that the department currently has six or seven drones and is requesting an additional six, explaining that the new drones are needed for specialty units, such as crime scene and accident reconstruction, and for improving operational efficiency during active searches.
In response to Council Member Roche's questions about equipment changes and budget items, Police Chief Matthews responded that the replacement of two robots is a one-for-one change due to the original manufacturer going out of business, leaving no capacity for repairs. Police Chief Matthews clarified that no new types of military equipment are being requested, only replacements for existing items; and staff is not requesting additional funding for the additional drones.
Mayor Salinas opened the public hearing at 8:53 p.m.
Joanna inquired about the use of drones, specifically asking if their use is limited to observing individuals, or if they would be employed in other situations as well.
Mayor Salinas closed the public hearing at 8:55 p.m.
In response to Mayor Salinas' question about the circumstances under which drones would be deployed, Police Chief Matthews responded that there is a page on the website dedicated to the use of drones as well as its policy; added that drones are typically used for unfolding, in- progress incidents, similar to the use of helicopters; added that they are deployed during searches for offenders, in-progress crimes, and interior searches when legally authorized, acting as a precautionary measure to clear spaces before officers enter.
Council Member Syrop thanked staff for the report; encouraged staff for future reports to include the dates of community engagement and not have the staff report in the last agenda prior to the recess; and noted his reservation around having military equipment in the Police Department.
It was moved by Council Member Bonilla Ir., seconded by Council Member Goldstein, and carried with Council Member Syrop abstaining, to adopt the resolution.
