City Council Page 3 of 11 November 10, 2025
We acknowledge that Lafayette is part of the unceded, ancestral homeland of the Bay Miwok people. The Bay Miwok and neighboring Ohlone people have lived in and moved through this place for thousands of years. They stewarded and shaped this land for hundreds of generations. We express our appreciation and gratitude for this profound legacy, which enhances and contributes to our lives to this day. We will strive to honor this land and strengthen our ties with the Indigenous communities that continue to live and work in our East Bay region as our neighbors and community members. We acknowledge and honor them and their ancestors, elders, and next seven generations.

9. PUBLIC COMMENTS (For items not on the agenda) – 7:00 p.m.

BRIAN PARSONS, 878 Santa Maria Way, said he is representing Vibrant Lafayette, a group of parents mostly in the downtown area who want safer streets, better biking, and walking for kids. He voiced support for the Active Transportation Plan coming up and parents want to do whatever they can to help support that. They also want it to take parks, recreation and schools into account so kids can get around independently and so parents do not have to drive them everywhere.

JEAN FOLLMER emphasized the need to train school crossing guards to manage pedestrian queuing at busy intersections such as Pleasant Hill and Springhill/Quant Road. She first raised this issue in 2017–2018 and plans to share it again with the Lafayette School District, urging the Council to act before new developments like the Terraces project increase traffic. She noted that group pedestrian crossings, as used in other cities, can reduce vehicle delays, improve traffic flow, and enhance safety and properly trained crossing guards can time crossings to balance pedestrian safety and vehicle efficiency. She expressed disappointment that a signaled crosswalk at Pleasant Hill and Reliez Valley Roads was reinstalled, as it adds to traffic congestion—especially without a crossing guard present.

10. CITY MANAGER’S UPDATE
City Manager Niroop Srivatsa gave the following updates:
• A task on the Work Plan for a couple of years is now starting. Staff received five proposals to update the development impact fees and will be interviewing consultants over the next few weeks and starting that process.
• On November 5th, the City held its monthly Community Liaisons Meeting, as chaired by Mayor Candell. They learned that Lamorinda Village is now hosting Senior Swell three days a week at the Library and it is a very popular program.

From the Parks, Trails and Recreation Department:
• The Department is seeking community input as it advances plans for the Hamlin Parkland site. A workshop was held on October 29th and there is an on-line survey the City is encouraging people to complete by November 17th.

From the Public Works and Engineering Department:
• The Public Works team is very busy with strong preparation and cleaning ditches and inlets. The City has received a significant amount of work orders about potholes and downed signs they want to address before rains begin.

City Council Page 4 of 11 November 10, 2025
• Engineering has started design for the 2026 Street Maintenance Project and there are other minor projects going on throughout the City. Next month, the Council will see work being done on Mt.

Diablo Boulevard and Moraga Road in the downtown core area. Workers will be refreshing the striping on those roads.

Mayor Candell opened the public comment period, and there were no speakers.

11. PRESENTATIONS
A. Tracy Robinson, Assistant City Manager
Ana Ponce, Accounting Technician
Recommendation: Receive and file.

Assistant City Manager/Administrative Services Director Tracy Robinson introduced Ana Ponce, the City’s new Accounting Technician and provided a background of Ms. Ponce’s experience and skills, educational background, and interests and hobbies.

Accounting Technician Ana Ponce thanked the Council and staff and said she is very excited and grateful to be with the City of Lafayette.

Mayor Candell and Councilmembers welcomed Ms. Ponce to the City of Lafayette.

B. Crime Prevention Commission
Annual Update
Recommendation: Receive and file.

Crime Prevention Commission Chair Traci Riley introduced the commissioners present and began by honoring Veterans Day. She reported that it had been a relatively quiet year for the Commission. The group participated in the annual National Night Out event at the Community Center and shared a booth with the Emergency Preparedness Commission at the Art and Wine Festival, which proved successful.

There were no Neighborhood Watch requests this year, and the Citizens Academy was not held in the spring or fall due to the arrival of a new Police Chief. With the Chief now settled, the program is expected to resume, helping strengthen community ties. Riley then turned the presentation over to Commissioners Denise Brown and Judy Peterson, who have led the Citizens Academy for over 12 years.

Commissioner Peterson said the Academy includes six evenings and participants get to know the relationship between Lafayette PD and the Sheriff’s Department and how much support there is. They will meet CSI folks and pretend to rob a bank, go to the jail, go to the morgue, and the 911 dispatch center.

She asked to keep an eye out after the first of the year for their next spring academy where they would like to have 10-12 participants.

Commissioner Denise Brown explained that the Citizens Academy is a six-week program held one evening per week for about three hours. It offers community members a hands-on, educational experience about police work through local sessions and field events. The Commission plans to begin advertising early next year and start the next class in April or May.

City Council Page 5 of 11 November 10, 2025
Councilmember McCormick praised the Crime Prevention Commission for its dedication, expressed pride in serving as its liaison, and supported restarting the Citizens Police Academy. Councilmember Wotherspoon echoed his remarks, shared her interest in attending the Academy, and thanked the Commission for its work.

Mayor Candell thanked the Commission, opened the public comment period, and said there were no speakers.

C. Emergency Preparedness Commission
Annual Update
Recommendation: Receive and file.

Emergency Preparedness Commission Chair Duncan Seibert introduced the commissioners and outlined the group’s 2025 goals and accomplishments. Key points included:
• Firewise Program: Continue monitoring and expanding Firewise neighborhoods. • Emergency Operations Plan: Review and update the City’s Emergency Operations Plan to reflect current conditions.
• Community Education: Develop a public education plan on preparedness topics, emphasizing Firewise and the Community Warning System (CWS), which now has 80% participation. • EOC Training: Transitioned from a web-based to a hands-on Emergency Operations Center (EOC) training, assisting with exercises under the new Emergency Services Coordinator. • Disaster Preparedness Plans: Created a FEMA-required Commodity Points of Distribution (CPOD) Plan for distributing water and other essentials during disasters; also working to develop a plan for managing human waste when utilities fail.
• Community Engagement: Participated in multiple local events including Earth Day, the Art and Wine Festival, and National Night Out, often collaborating with the Crime Prevention Commission and CERT.
• Fire Hydrant Project: Partnered with the Senior Services Commission to map and mark fire hydrants with reflective markers for better visibility during emergencies. • Agency Collaboration: Hosted presentations from EBMUD and Con Fire to stay informed on regional emergency operations.
• CERT and Training: Oversaw Lamorinda CERT activities, which trained 55 participants in two nineweek courses, and conducted exercises with the Moraga Police Department, CPR classes, and disaster-preparedness workshops.
• Leadership Transition: The Commission will undergo leadership and membership changes in 2026 as Seibert steps down after a long tenure, with efforts underway to recruit new volunteers. • Resident’s Guide Update: Plans to update and possibly digitize the Resident’s Guide to Wildfire Preparedness and Evacuation for broader, cost-effective distribution across Lamorinda.

Commissioner Stephanie Bontemps presented the Firewise report, noting that the year began with increased community awareness following major Southern California fires. Lafayette now leads the county with 30 recognized Firewise neighborhoods, including eight newly approved this year and four more pending, representing communities ranging from 8 to nearly 950 homes.

City Council Page 6 of 11 November 10, 2025
The Commission supported these neighborhoods through guidance and resources, including an interactive Firewise map on the City’s website. The map helps residents identify their Firewise status and leaders, and it generated strong interest at the Art and Wine Festival, where over 50 people signed up for more information. Outreach efforts also included presentations to community and senior groups, as well as events like the Happy Valley Improvement Association’s Wildfire Preparedness Meeting.

A Google group for Firewise leaders—now with about 40 members—was created to foster collaboration, and the first in-person meeting in September was highly successful.

Looking ahead to 2026, goals include expanding Firewise participation, updating materials to reflect new State Zone Zero requirements, and launching a dedicated Firewise booth at the Art and Wine Festival. The Commission also plans to use visual displays showing proper wildfire preparedness techniques, such as tree limbing and defensible space.

Additionally, the group is partnering with Con Fire on a Pilot Volunteer Ambassador Program, modeled after Moraga-Orinda’s, to train volunteers who can assess homes and advise residents on fire safety improvements. Bontemps concluded by thanking community members, Con Fire, the Police Department, and Emergency Preparedness Officer Andy Comly for their strong support.

Mayor Candell thanked the Emergency Preparedness Commission for its presentation.

Councilmember Cervantes, the lead liaison, praised the Commission’s critical role in advancing the City’s top priority—wildfire preparedness—and commended staff members Cathy Surges-Moscato, Police Chief Williams, and Andy Comly for their strong support. He expressed enthusiasm for helping elevate the Commission’s work further in the coming year.

At Chair Seibert’s request, Commissioner Bontemps explained that Firewise community participation is important for homeowners’ insurance. By state law, insurance carriers must offer discounts to residents in certified Firewise neighborhoods—though the amount varies (e.g., about $50 per year for State Farm or 10% for FAIR Plan policies). These savings often encourage residents to get involved and support wildfire risk reduction.

Councilmember McCormick commended the Commission’s effectiveness and its partnership with Con Fire, noting the City should continue advocating strongly for its fair share of fire resources. He also supported efforts related to the new Zone Zero regulations.

Mayor Candell shared an idea from the League of California Cities conference, where Grass Valley distributed evacuation zone magnets to residents. Chair Seibert responded that while magnets can be provided, knowing one’s zone and checking updates online during evacuations is more effective.

Commissioner Michael Melewicz praised the Police Department, noting Lafayette’s growing reputation as a model for preparedness initiatives that attract interest from other agencies.

Vice Mayor Anduri thanked the Commission for its ongoing progress and long-standing dedication, highlighting the success of the Firewise program and recognizing Chair Seibert for his decade of leadership.

th Quarter, Fiscal Year 24/25

13. OLD BUSINESS
A. Patrick Golier, Transportation Program Manager; Matt Luttropp, Engineering Services Manager
Connecting Lafayette (School/Topper) 65% design plans
Recommendation: Received the report on the status of the Connecting Lafayette: Downtown Pathways and Schools Safety Project. No Council action required.

Engineering Services Manager Matt Luttropp presented the final update on the Connecting Lafayette project, noting that design plans are about 80% complete. His detailed presentation covered roadway geometry, drainage and stormwater management, utility coordination, traffic elements, right-of-way considerations, environmental landscaping, construction timing, and project costs.

Cathy Merrill, President and Principal with Merrill Morris Partners, the project’s landscape consultant, described the landscaping approach as practical and low-maintenance, featuring durable, colorful plants suited for bio-swales along School Street that can handle both heavy rain and hot summers.

Mr. Luttropp reported that Transportation Program Manager Patrick Golier secured $4.6 million in funding for the project, while estimated costs are $4.364 million (including a 10% contingency). He stated the budget is strong, with sufficient reserves for incidental expenses, and concluded by inviting questions.

Mayor Candell congratulated staff for getting to this point, said neighbors are supportive and they can move forward together.

Council discussion ensued on the Connecting Lafayette project:
• Councilmember McCormick clarified that the listed 10% contingency was not 10% of the total project cost. Mr. Luttropp explained it specifically covers construction and amounts to $370,000.

He asked what happens if project funds remain unspent. Mr. Luttropp said the City could retain any LFFA development fees, but unspent Measure J, OBAG, or federal earmark funds would have to be returned.

City Council Page 8 of 11 November 10, 2025
• Councilmember Cervantes asked when final construction costs would be confirmed. Mr. Luttropp stated they would be determined upon receipt of bids in early 2026, and staff would report back to the Council afterward.
• Councilmember Wotherspoon praised the project’s progress and asked about School Street speed bumps. Mr. Luttropp explained they will be temporarily removed during construction and reinstalled in the same locations afterward. Councilmember Wotherspoon also asked about St.

Mary’s Road design work from Acampo to Topper. Mr. Luttropp said it will likely be handled by consultants, as staff capacity is limited, though he hopes to bring more design work in-house in the future.

Mayor Candell opened the public comment period.

BRIAN PARSONS spoke in strong support of the Connecting Lafayette project, both personally and on behalf of Vibrant Lafayette, a group of about a dozen parents from Lafayette Elementary and Burton Valley schools. A father of three children attending LES—Rosie (3rd grade), Hunter (2nd grade), and River (Kindergarten)—he emphasized the project’s importance for student safety.

He shared that his daughter Rosie will use the improved route for the next nine years through middle school and already bikes to school daily, making safety improvements critical. After recently walking Topper Lane with his son during school rush hour, he described the experience as “very scary,” citing heavy traffic and distracted drivers. He concluded by reiterating full support for the project as designed.

HUNTER PARSONS, a 7-year-old 2nd grader, said he likes to bike or scooter to school on the trail and has been noticing the white posts. They are pretty weak and cars can knock them over easily and then someone might get hurt. He likes the idea of how the City is making this barrier and putting plants in he thinks it is a good idea for almost everyone.

GARY RISKE spoke about the Connecting Lafayette project, acknowledging it has been a long process. He expressed relief that the project will not create a 10-foot-wide pathway down Topper Lane, though he would have preferred a 4-foot pathway. He thanked Matt Luttropp, Patrick Golier, and the landscape consultant for collaborating with neighbors to reach compromises. While the outcome is not what Topper Lane residents initially hoped for, he said it represents the “best of a bad situation” and that they will accept it. He noted regret over losing many trees and observed that new plantings will take 10–15 years to mature and replace what is being removed.

Mayor Candell thanked Mr. Riske for working with the City and recognized it takes both sides in cooperation to get to where they are, so she appreciates that.

ANDREY KISLYUK spoke in support of the Connecting Lafayette project, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing school children and youth in city infrastructure decisions. A Lafayette resident for five years with two children at Lafayette Elementary, he urged the Council to consider the broader context of pedestrian and bicycle improvements rather than viewing the project in isolation. He highlighted safety concerns, citing the tragic death of Ashley Diaz as a catalyst for needed improvements and sharing personal experiences of near-accidents involving his family on School Street. He noted that Lafayette’s public rights-of-way overwhelmingly prioritize cars, and pointed to other cities as examples for improving bike and pedestrian infrastructure. He encouraged the Council to see the project as part of a network of future safety and mobility enhancements for pedestrians and cyclists.

City Council Page 9 of 11 November 10, 2025
Scott Ellis expressed dissatisfaction with the Topper Lane portion of the Connecting Lafayette project.

While acknowledging the work done to preserve some trees, he highlighted concerns about the loss of approximately 50 mature trees, calling it a “travesty,” and questioned why one prominent oak on the opposite side of the street couldn’t be preserved. He felt the City had not fully responded to these concerns and that the project did not consistently meet the Council’s prior directive to minimize pathway width to save trees. He also raised a safety concern regarding speeding on Topper Lane, suggesting an additional speed bump may be necessary once the road is repaved. He encouraged the Council to consider using leftover project funds for this and offered to discuss these issues further with staff or Councilmembers.

Mayor Candell acknowledged that the design is still in progress and noted that Mr. Luttropp is aware of Scott Ellis’s concerns. She emphasized that any opportunity to preserve trees should be explored as part of the project.

Councilmember McCormick noted that he has attended several public events and recognizes that change is challenging. He praised the collaborative work with residents to develop a program that will ultimately be an improvement, highlighted that drainage improvements on Topper Lane will be significant and thanked staff and residents for their efforts. He also pointed out that School Street improvements, though less discussed, will be substantial and “phenomenal.”
Councilmember Cervantes noted that he was not on the Council during last year’s discussions but commended staff for their extensive work on the project. He emphasized the thoroughness of the 2024 report and materials and expressed appreciation for the collaborative efforts with the community and Topper Lane neighbors. He highlighted that staff held nearly 20 meetings with homeowners to develop a solution that, while not perfect for everyone, addresses safety, incorporates aesthetics, and provides lasting amenities for cyclists and children. He described the project as an excellent example of the City working with residents to create a well-considered plan.

Mayor Candell thanked staff for the work and all those involved. She noted there is no action to take and looks forward to receiving bids in the future.

15. PUBLIC HEARINGS – None.

16. ITEMS REMOVED FROM CONSENT – None.

17. COUNCIL / COMMISSION REPORTS
A. Councilmembers report on activities and consideration of matters a Councilmember wishes to initiate for placement on a future agenda.

Councilmember Cervantes shared that, through Rachel Zenner, Senator Grayson’s aide, he recently met with Berkeley City Councilmember Brent Blackaby, whose district includes hillside areas. He noted that if Zone Zero regulations are enacted, Berkeley’s experience would be highly relevant, as much of their area is subject to Cal Fire requirements.

City Council Page 10 of 11 November 10, 2025
He highlighted that Berkeley has been dealing with wildfire planning for years, particularly since their historic 1923 fire, and they are ahead of Lafayette in some respects. He emphasized that it was helpful to learn from other communities and reinforced the idea that wildfire preparedness is a regional effort, involving Orinda, Moraga, and neighboring areas.

Vice Mayor Anduri asked if the Berkeley ordinance became final, and Mayor Candell confirmed.

Councilmember McCormick attended the Hamlin Parkland site workshop and was pleased with the progress of the Batwing project, noting that securing funding will be important once plans are finalized.

He reported three business robberies in the past week, with police actively investigating. Residents are concerned whether these incidents are random or part of a larger pattern; similar incidents have been seen in Walnut Creek and other nearby areas. He particularly highlighted the impact on Panache Café, owned and operated by a single woman, noting she lost a significant amount of money. A GoFundMe has been set up, raising nearly $8,000 in support. He encouraged the community to patronize local businesses, particularly those run by local owners who dedicate themselves daily.

Vice Mayor Anduri noted ongoing discussions with the Mayor regarding the ballfields and requested that the next meeting include an agenda item titled: “Improvements to Upper Community Field.” Mayor Candell reported on her attendance to a meeting in Martinez where Senator Grayson discussed a proposed budget bill and legislation related to school closures. The legislation aims to allow schools to close on days with high fire risk, similar to a snow day, without losing funding. She will bring this to the Legislative Committee and then to the Council to discuss potential involvement of Casey Elliott.

She also attended a Mayor’s meeting where Cindy Silva from Walnut Creek spoke about ABAG’s Plan Bay Area 2050. The Council had submitted a letter to MTC regarding TOD concerns. The comment period runs through December 18th, and the Council may need to write additional letters. Mayor Candell asked the City Clerk to forward emails with other concerns and will discuss this further at the Legislative Committee to determine next steps for the Council.

B. Vice Mayor Anduri and Councilmember Wotherspoon
Appointing one member to the Creeks Committee
Recommendation: Adopt Resolution 2025-54 Appointing on member to the Creeks Committee.
