Mayor Montano sought clarification about the revolving loan funds, confirming these were CDBG funds subject to regulations with caps and national objective requirements. She asked about spending categories, and Housing Analyst Silva confirmed they were limited to public services, program administration, capital projects, and economic development activities only from applications received during the period. When Mayor Montano asked about using funds for Main Street revitalization or signage, staff clarified that applicants must meet national CDBG objectives.
Councilmember Lam asked about the logic behind percentage allocations. Staff explained public services received the most applications so maximizing funding made sense, program administration was operationally costly, so maximizing the cap was in the city's interest, and the remainder followed the 60-40 split decided at the May 6 council meeting.
After discussion, motion: to approve a substantial amendment to the 2025-2030 Consolidated Plan and the 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan; Allocate any new program income earned after this amendment and during the 2025-2030 Consolidated Plan period to: (a) maximize the program administration cap, (b) maximize the public services cap, and (c) Use the remainder of funds to Capital or Economic Development; and Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to make any necessary changes to the 2025-2030 Consolidated Plan and 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan.
Motion/Second: Vice Mayor Barbadillo / Councilmember Lien Motion carried by the following:
AYES: Mayor Montano, Vice Mayor Barbadillo, Councilmember Chua, Councilmember Lam, Councilmember Lien

11. Review the List of New Workplan Item Requests from Individual Councilmembers and Provide Direction to Staff Through the Council-Approved Prioritization Process (Staff Contact: Matt Cano, Assistant City Manager, 408-586-3012)
Acting City Manager Hernandez introduced the item and Assistant City Manager Cano provided the presentation.
There were the following public speakers:
1. Mike Pellizari
Councilmember Lam clarified his intent for Item C3 was solely to rename the Science, Technology & Innovation Commission to "Technology Commission." Staff confirmed this could be accomplished administratively in fewer than four hours and removed the item from the voting list.
Councilmember Chua asked that C2 be deferred to the next prioritization session.
For Item C7, staff noted the City had already arranged to use VTA bus shelter advertising for FIFA within the existing budget; prioritization would be relevant only for potential ongoing use. On C8, Mayor Montano noted the City previously had a pilot street sweeping program and asked for a follow-up email on its current status.
Mayor Montano asked for clarification on Item C1. Acting City Manager Hernandez noted that the issue that under the current municipal code is that a liquor store cannot open near an existing childcare facility, but a childcare facility may be approved next to an existing liquor store. He suggested that it may be possible to fix the policy administratively. Mayor Montano indicated she wished to keep the item on the prioritization list to ensure the language is strengthened regardless.
The City Council conducted the first round of voting to determine which referrals would advance to the ranking process. IT Director Nam explained the electronic voting procedure, and City Clerk Guzzetta reported that three referrals received enough votes to move forward. The results of the first round were as follows:
• C1 - Review the existing policy to possibly grant the City Council authority to approve or deny licensed massage facilities and ABC licenses
• C7 - Explore use of public funds to advertise Milpitas restaurants and amenities on VTA bus shelters
• C9 - Explore establishing a Friendship City relationship All three items reached the threshold of three votes in the first round, completing the prioritization process. Assistant City Manager Cano summarized the outcomes: Items C1, C7, and C9 are prioritized and will be added to the work plan with items requiring additional budget to be raised in the ongoing budget process; Item C2 is deferred to the next prioritization session; and C3 will be advanced administratively.
Mayor Montano suggested that the City explore a partnership with an outside agency to manage Item C9 Exploring a Friendship City relationship.
After discussion, motion: to (1) approve the list as prioritized:
April 7, 2026 Milpitas City Council Minutes Page 6
• C1 - Review policy on massage facilities/ABC licenses: 3 votes (Mayor Montano, Vice Mayor Barbadillo, Council Member Lam)
• C7 - VTA bus shelter advertising: 3 votes (Mayor Montano, Vice Mayor Barbadillo, Council Member Lam)
• C9 - Explore Friendship City: 3 votes (Mayor Montano, Vice Mayor Barbadillo, Council Member Lien)

12. Consider Introduction of an Ordinance to Amend Council Vacancy Ordinance and Reduce Special Election Costs (Staff Contact: Matt Cano, Assistant City Manager, Department, 408-586- 3012)
Acting City Manager Hernandez introduced the item and Assistant City Manager Cano presented the report.
There were no public speakers.
Councilmember Chua explained the reasons for bringing this item forward to the City Council for consideration.
Vice Mayor Barbadillo asked what factors the Council could consider in choosing whether to appoint or conduct a special election. Assistant City Manager Cano and City Attorney Curtis spoke on various scenarios the City Council might consider.
After discussion, motion: to (1) introduce Ordinance No. 194.2 amending Milpitas Municipal Code Title I, Chapter 3, relating to vacancies on the City Council; and (2) Waive the reading of the ordinance beyond the title.
Motion/Second: Councilmember Chua / Vice Mayor Barbadillo Motion carried by the following:

(AR)
Item Title: Authorize and Approve Travel Request for Mayor Montano to Long Beach, CA for the U.S. Mayors 94th Annual Meeting (Staff Contact: Matt Cano, Assistant City Manager, 408-586-3012)
Category: Consent Calendar-Leadership and Support Services Meeting Date: 4/21/2026
Recommendation: Authorize and approve the travel for Mayor Montano to Long Beach, CA for the U.S.
Mayors 94th Annual Meeting to be held on June 4-7, 2026, for an estimated total amount of $3,400, budgeted under the Individual Elected Official allocation for Conferences/Meetings/Trainings.
BACKGROUND:
The U.S. Conference of Mayors holds its 94th Annual Meeting in Long Beach, CA. This year, the Annual Meeting is scheduled for June 4-7, 2026. The meeting focuses on key issues facing American cities, including economic development, public safety, infrastructure, housing, climate resilience, and innovation in local governance. It provides practical tools, best practices, and collaborative strategies to support effective leadership at the municipal level. Included in this agenda packet is the preliminary agenda for this academy as Attachment A.
ANALYSIS:
The City of Milpitas Travel and Expense Policy requires the City Council to approve travel for the elected officials and City Manager. City Council approval of this travel request will allow Mayor Montano to gain additional knowledge from other national policymakers and bring it back to share with her colleagues.
Continued conference participation and attendance also ensure the Milpitas community is fully represented at the regional, state, and national levels.
POLICY ALTERNATIVE(S):
Not Applicable
FISCAL IMPACT:
The estimated individual expense for the Long Beach, CA U.S. Mayors 94th Annual Meeting, including the registration fee, lodging, meals, mileage, and incidental reimbursements, is $3,400 (actual costs may vary).
For FY 2025-26 to date $8,565.87 has been allocated from Mayor Carmen Montano’s Individual Elected Official allocation of $10,000 for Conferences/Meetings/Memberships.
With these additional estimated $3,400 in expenses, Mayor Carmen Montano will has an estimated negative balance of $1,965.87 in her Individual Elected Official allocation of $10,000 for Conferences/Meetings/Memberships. However, there is sufficient funding remaining in other councilmembers’ travel accounts to cover this overage without going over the total annual City Council travel budget allocation for the Fiscal Year.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA):
The action is an organizational or administrative activity of the City government that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment and is not a project pursuant to Cal. Code of Regs., tit. 14, § 15378.

2.00 of Milpitas Municipal Code Title 1, Chapter 3 to Amend the Council Vacancy Ordinance and Reduce Special Election Costs (Staff Contact: Matt Cano, Assistant City Manager, 408-586-3012)

Not applicable.
PROJECT SCHEDULE/KEY MILESTONES:

Ordinance No. 194.2 2
RECITALS AND FINDINGS:
WHEREAS, California Government Code section 36512 outlines the process for filling unexpected City Council vacancies, both for Councilmembers and the Mayor, and contemplates that the City Council will fill such vacancies by appointment or by calling a special election; and
WHEREAS, in 1976, following the submission of an advisory measure to the voters to canvass their input (Measure L), the City Council enacted City Council Ordinance 194, which, pursuant to former California Government Code section 36512.2, states that the City Council will fill a vacancy in its membership by immediately calling a special election and that anyone appointed to fill that vacancy will only hold office until that election; and
WHEREAS, the results of an advisory vote expressly “will in no manner be controlling on the sponsoring legislative body” (Cal. Elec. Code, § 9603(a)), and the City Council finds and determines that in the intervening fifty years, there has been significant changes that warrant greater flexibility in how the City Council fills vacancies on an ongoing basis; and
WHEREAS, in 1992, the California Legislature repealed California Government Code section 36512.2, which the City’s vacancy ordinance was based upon, in favor of revised procedures for filling vacancies, which are now codified in California Government Code section 36512; and
WHEREAS, in 1976, when Measure L was submitted for advisory vote, regular elections were held in both odd and even numbered years such that the special election for a Council vacancy could often be consolidated with the following year’s regular election; and
WHEREAS, in 2015, following a change in state law, regular elections now only occur in even numbered years such that it is significantly more likely that a vacancy arising in an odd numbered year, including most vacancies arising from a member’s election to other incompatible public office, will result in the City bearing the full cost of a stand-alone special election; and
WHEREAS, in the intervening fifty years since Measure L was submitted to the voters, the cost of special elections has risen astronomically, and the City has been recently informed by the County of Santa Clara’s Registrar of Voters that calling a stand-alone special election may cost the City over three million dollars or roughly 2% of the City’s average annual general fund; and
WHEREAS, every city in Santa Clara County, and the majority of cities statewide, have codified California Government Code section 36512 and allow council vacancies to be filled by both special elections and appointment; and
WHEREAS, the City Council consistent with California Government Code section 36512 wishes to amend Title I, Chapter 3 of the Milpitas Municipal Code and allow Council vacancies to be filled by either appointment or the calling of a special election as determined by the City Council to be in the best interests of the City and its residents.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Milpitas does ordain as follows:
SECTION 1. RECORD AND BASIS FOR ACTION
The City Council has duly considered the full record before it, which may include but is not limited to such things as the City staff report, testimony by staff and the public, and other materials and evidence submitted

SECTION 2. AMENDMENT OF MILPITAS MUNICIPAL CODE TITLE I, CHAPTER 3
Title I, Chapter 3 of the Milpitas Municipal Code is hereby amended to read as follows:
Chapter 3 – VACANCY ON CITY COUNCIL
Section 1 – Authority of Adoption
Consistent with Government Code section 36512, vacancies on the City Council other than by expiration of the term of office will be filled at the City Council’s discretion by appointment or by the calling of an election.
Section 2 – Requirements
I-3-2.00 – Declaring Office Vacant; Filling Vacancy

AGENDA REPORT
(AR)
Item Title: Consider Opting into Nationwide Settlement Agreements with Six Regional Distributors/Defendants (Staff Contact: Matt Cano, Assistant City Manager, 408- 586-3050; and Christopher Creech, Assistant City Attorney, 408-586-3040) Category: Consent Calendar-Leadership and Support Services Meeting Date: 4/21/2026
Recommendation: Authorize the City Manager to opt into settlement agreements with certain opioids manufacturers/distributors and assign settlement proceeds to the County of Santa Clara for the opioid remediation efforts and authorize the City Manager to execute settlement agreement(s) and any other documents necessary to implement the action.
BACKGROUND:
In recent years, states, cities, and counties across the United States have sued opioid manufacturers and distributors for their role in the opioid addiction epidemic. Several of these high-profile lawsuits have resulted in nationwide settlements between these government entities and the defendants. Under the terms of these settlements, the opioid defendants have generally been required to pay billions of dollars to state and local governments, which the government entities must use to address the opioid addiction epidemic in their communities. The City has previously opted in to several of these settlements, including with Amerisource Bergen, Cardinal Health, and McKesson, and Janssen on December 7, 2021, with Teva, Allergan, CVS, Walgreens, and Walmart on April 18, 2023, and most recently with Purdue Pharma L.P. and the Sackler Family on September 2, 2025 and with additional opioid manufacturers (Alvogen, Amneal, Apotex, Hikma, Indivior, Mylan, Sun, and Zydus (Secondary Manufacturers) on October 21, 2025 .The City previously opted into several settlements, including with Amerisource Bergen, Cardinal Health, and McKesson, and Janssen on December 7, 2021 and with Teva, Allergan, CVS, Walgreens, and Walmart on April 18, 2023.
The City was recently notified of additional settlements with six regional manufacturers/distributors/dispensers of opioids: Associated Pharmacies, Inc (and American Associated Pharmacies); J M Smith Corporation; Louisiana Wholesale Drug Company, Inc.; Morris and Dickson Co.; North Carolina Mutual Wholesale Drug Company, Inc.; and United Natural Foods, Inc. (including its subsidiaries SuperValu and Advantage Logistics) (“Six Remnant Defendants”). To participate in these settlements, the City must submit participation documents by May 4, 2026.
While the City did not participate in this litigation, it may opt into these settlements and receive a share of the settlement proceeds in exchange for a release of its claims against the Six Remnant Defendants. These funds would be restricted to certain opioid remediation uses. The City may likely either assign the funds to the County of Santa Clara for county-wide remediation efforts or elect to use the funds directly. However, if the City elects to directly receive and manage the funds, the City could be subject to accounting and administration costs that may exceed the value of the settlement funds received and would likely have to create and partially subsidize additional programs not currently budgeted to operate.
ANALYSIS:
There is one settlement agreement covering the combined settlement with the Six Remnant Defendants. If approved, the proposed settlement will result in the Six Remnant Defendants paying a combined $97,625,000 in cash for purposes of abating the opioid epidemic. City participation in the settlement would result in a one- time settlement payment, with an allocation of 0.0039737355% of the total settlement, which is about $3,879.
The funds may only be used for eligible opioid abatement activities and related expenditures. As with the prior settlements into which the City has opted, the settlement proceeds could be assigned to Santa Clara County for a coordinated, County-wide remediation effort.
The settlement funds can only be used for opioid remediation purposes specified in the proposed settlement agreement, including treatment and prevention of opioid use disorders, training related to the administration of naloxone, and various other opioid prevention programs designed at preventing misuse and abuse. Because settlement fund is a qualified settlement fund for tax purposes, participating political subdivisions are subject to certain reporting requirements, including to establish proper use of the settlement proceeds. Moreover, the settlement itself will be overseen by a federal court in Ohio such that if any issue arose over the use of settlement proceeds, that issue would be resolved in the courts of another state. As such, if the City elected to directly receive these funds, in addition to establishing and funding qualifying programs, it would be required to undertake these additional reporting and administration costs, without additional compensation, which may exceed the settlement proceeds the City ultimately receives.
In deciding whether to allow a city’s funds to be assigned to County programs, a city should consider the following: (1) whether the amount of money is substantial enough for the city to handle it on its own; (2) whether the city offers the services and has the employees to spend the money in accordance with its prescribed uses; and (3) whether the city wants to engage in the reporting requirements over the course of the next fifteen years.
While the exact amount of money the City could receive from all of the combined opioid settlements cannot be calculated at this juncture, it is expected it would not be sufficient to fully fund meaningful programs in Milpitas.
The City would likely have to subsidize personnel, administrative, and other costs related to any opioid remediation project. By way of example, in fiscal year 2022-2023, from a $5 billion dollar settlement with Janssen Pharmaceuticals, these Santa Clara County cities received the following distributions for opioid abatement efforts:
City Population (2022) Abatement Amt (2022-2023)
Los Gatos ~31,000 $8,186.76
Campbell ~42,200 $8,927.99
Gilroy ~56,800 $16,092.05
Sunnyvale ~152,700 $34,427.57
Santa Clara ~130,400 $43,600.54
The current settlement is expected to generate $3,879. Staff therefore does not expect the City would receive sufficient additional settlement funds to justify the additional administrative, accounting, and reporting costs for receiving direct payment. These funds could be more immediately and efficiently used with greater local impact through coordinated regional programing throughout the County.
PROJECT/PROGRAM SCHEDULE:
If the Mayor and City Council approve this action, staff will process the agreement prior to the May 4, 2026 deadline if the City is able to receive information from the County of Santa Clara that they will accept the funding. The timing of receiving any funds following this action is not known at this time.
POLICY ALTERNATIVES:
Alternative 1: Do not opt into the settlements.
Pros: The City could pursue legal action against the additional distributors/manufacturers and seek to obtain a more favorable settlement or judgment.
Cons: The City and County would not receive the funds provided for in the proposed settlement agreements with the opioid distributors.
Reason not recommended: The City would have to hire outside legal counsel to independently bring a lawsuit against the opioid distributors with no certain legal outcome. It is unlikely the City would obtain a sufficiently more favorable result than the present settlement that would justify this additional expense and uncertainty.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Without an additional cost to the City, the City Council decision to opt into the settlement agreements will likely provide funding for Santa Clara County to run opioid abatement and remediation programs, the services of which are provided to Milpitas residents enrolled in those programs. If the City elected to directly receive these funds, it would likely incur additional administrative, accounting, and reporting costs in addition to whatever programmatic costs it may ultimately incur for whatever projects it may choose to fund.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT:
The action is a fiscal activity of the City government or an action to create a City government funding mechanism that does not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment and is not a project pursuant to Cal. Code of Regs., tit. 14, § 15378. The action has no potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment and is not a project pursuant to Pub.
Resources Code, § 21065 and Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, § 15378. Even if a project, the action is exempt from further CEQA review pursuant to Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, § 15061(b)(3) as it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.

AGENDA REPORT

Item Title: Adopt a Resolution Amending Resolution No. 1626, the Classification Plan, to Approve a Three Percent (3%) Salary Increase for Unrepresented Miscellaneous Classifications, Retroactive to the First Pay Period in July 2025 (Staff Contact: Kelli Parmley, Human Resources Director, 408-586-3086) Category: Consent Calendar-Leadership and Support Services Meeting Date: 4/21/2026
Recommendation: Adopt a resolution amending Resolution No. 1626, the Classification Plan, to approve a three percent (3%) salary increase for Unrepresented Miscellaneous classifications, retroactive to the first pay period in July 2025, and approve and adopt the updated Citywide pay schedule titled “All Job Classifications/Salary Table” attached as Exhibit A.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Milpitas maintains its Classification Plan under Resolution No. 1626, adopted December 17, 1968, and amended from time to time. Salary ranges for Unrepresented Miscellaneous classifications are established by City Council action. Historically, salary adjustments for this group have been considered in reference to the adjustments negotiated with the Mid-Management and Confidential (MidCon) bargaining unit, with the specific rate determined each cycle by the City Council based on fiscal capacity and internal alignment considerations.
As such, the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-26 budget that the City Council adopted on June 3, 2025 anticipated a possible three percent (3%) salary increase for Unrepresented Miscellaneous classifications. The recommended action would implement that increase and make other updates to the Citywide All Job Classifications/Salary Table consistent with City Council direction.
ANALYSIS:
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution approving a three percent (3%) salary increase for the twenty-seven (27) Unrepresented Miscellaneous classifications, retroactive to the first pay period in July 2025.
The increase is within the FY 2025–26 Adopted Operating Budget.
Prior to taking final action, Government Code Section 54953 requires an oral report summarizing the recommended compensation for positions classified as department heads and similar administrative officers. A summary of the recommended salary adjustment will be provided at the City Council meeting before the vote.
An updated Citywide pay schedule, titled “All Job Classifications/Salary Table,” is attached as Exhibit A. The pay schedule reflects the adjusted salary ranges for the affected Unrepresented Miscellaneous classifications; all other salary ranges remain unchanged by this action. Posting an updated consolidated pay schedule is consistent with CalPERS publicly available pay schedule requirements. While updating the table for this action, staff identified that prior direction of the Council related to consolidation of various roles had not been reflected accurately in previous tables and therefore have also updated the table to remove certain classifications based upon prior Council action.
POLICY ALTERNATIVE(S):
Alternative 1: Do not approve the recommended salary increase for Unrepresented Miscellaneous classifications.
Pros: No change to current salary ranges.
Cons: The increase was authorized within the adopted FY 2025–26 Operating Budget. Declining to implement would be inconsistent with the budget as adopted and may affect the City’s ability to recruit and retain unrepresented management classifications.
Reason not recommended: The recommended action implements a salary adjustment already authorized by Council through the adopted budget.
PROJECT SCHEDULE/KEY MILESTONES
Upon City Council adoption, the Human Resources and Finance Departments will update the Classification Plan, implement the adjusted pay schedule, process retroactive pay to the first pay period in July 2025, and post the revised pay schedule on the City’s website in compliance with CalPERS publicly available pay schedule requirements.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The estimated annualized cost of the three percent (3%) salary increase for the twenty-seven (27) Unrepresented Miscellaneous classifications is approximately $270,000, inclusive of salary and associated percentage-based benefit costs (CalPERS, Medicare, Workers’ Compensation, and Retiree Medical Reserve).
This cost was incorporated into the FY 2025–26 Adopted Operating Budget approved by City Council on June 3, 2025. Accordingly, no additional appropriation is required, and there is no fiscal impact beyond the amounts already budgeted.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA):
The action being considered is exempt from environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guideline 15378(b)(4) as a governmental fiscal activity without a commitment to any project that would result in a potentially significant impact on the environment. Further, it is also exempt pursuant to CEQA Guideline 15378(b)(2) as a continuing administrative activity, including personnel-related actions.

Item Title: Authorize the City Manager, or Designee, to Negotiate and Execute a Purchase Order with National Auto Fleet Group for Ford Police Specialty Vehicles (Staff Contact: Luz Cofresí-Howe, Finance Director, 408-586-3111; and Christian Di Renzo, Public Works Director, 408-586-2602)
Category: Consent Calendar-Community Services and Sustainable Infrastructure Meeting Date: 4/21/2026
Recommendation: Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to negotiate and execute a purchase order with National Auto Fleet Group to purchase three (3) police specialty vehicles for a not-to-exceed amount of $162,587.86.
BACKGROUND:
The Milpitas Police Department currently manages a fleet of police vehicles assigned to Field Services and Special Operations staff throughout the Department 24-7 operations. The City of Milpitas has a contractual obligation under the Milpitas Police Officer Association (MPOA) Memorandum of Understanding to provide vehicles for police operations. It is imperative the Police Department maintain its fleet of vehicles to effectively provide public safety services to the community.
On February 3, 2026, as part of the FY 2025-26 Mid-Year Report, City Council approved the purchase of three (3) specialty vehicles for the Police Department to replace existing vehicles that have reached the end of their useful life, per the MPOA Memorandum of Understanding section 30.03.
ANALYSIS:
On June 25, 2025, Sourcewell, a State of Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) #081325 Automobiles, SUVs, Vans, and Light Trucks with Related Equipment and Accessories. On November 12, 2025, Sourcewell awarded Contract No. 081325-NAF to National Auto Fleet Group pursuant to the RFP. The City Purchasing Agent, in accordance with the City Municipal Code Section I-2-3.05, which authorizes the Purchasing Agent to make purchases based upon an agreement or cooperative purchasing program entered into by another public agency, reviewed the Sourcewell RFP and confirmed that the RFP competitive process was consistent with, and at least as restrictive as, City procurement processes.
National Auto Fleet Group provided competitive cost proposals that offer discounts ranging from 1.1% through 4% off the manufacturer’s suggested retail price. Staff recommend issuing a purchase order to National Auto Fleet Group for the purchase of three (3) police specialty vehicles for a not-to-exceed amount of $162,587.86.
POLICY ALTERNATIVE(S):
Alternative 1: Do not authorize the City Manager, or designee, to negotiate and execute a purchase order with National Auto Fleet Group to purchase three (3) police specialty vehicles
Pros: The City would retain the previously appropriated funds within the Equipment Replacement Fund and defer the capital outlay at this time
Cons: The three vehicles approved for replacement have reached the end of their useful life. Deferring their replacement would reduce the operational readiness and response capability of Police Field Services and Special Operations units, increase ongoing repair and maintenance costs on aging vehicles, and place the City out of compliance with Section 30.03 of the MPOA Memorandum of Understanding, which obligates the City to provide vehicles for police operations. In addition, the Sourcewell cooperative pricing currently available through National Auto Fleet Group (discounts of 1.1% to 4% off manufacturer's suggested retail price) may not
be available at a later date, and replacement vehicles procured independently would likely be acquired at higher cost and with longer lead times.
Reason to not recommend: The City Council approved the replacement of these three Police specialty vehicles on February 3, 2026, as part of the FY 2025-26 Mid-Year Report, and appropriated funding in the Equipment Replacement Fund for this purpose. Use of the Sourcewell cooperative contract satisfies the City's competitive procurement requirements and provides favorable pricing. Proceeding with the purchase order fulfills a City Council-approved action and maintains the City's contractual obligations under the MPOA Memorandum of Understanding.
FISCAL IMPACT:
On February 3, 2026, as part of the FY 2025-26 Mid-Year Report, the City Council appropriated $385,469 in the Equipment Replacement Fund (Fund 500) to replace three (3) unmarked Police Department specialty vehicles. The $162,587.86 purchase order recommended in this action is within that appropriation. Subsequent outfitting of the three vehicles with police-specific equipment, estimated at approximately $12,500 per vehicle ($37,500 total), is not part of this recommended action but is also funded within the same appropriation and will be procured separately. No additional funding or budget amendment is required, and this action has no effect on the General Fund.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA):
The action has no potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment and is not a project pursuant to Pub. Resources Code, § 21065 and Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, § 15378. Even if a project, the action is exempt from further CEQA review pursuant to Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, § 15061(b)(3) as it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.

Item Title: Receive and Approve the Calendar Year 2025 Controlled Equipment Annual Report (Staff Contact: Frank Morales, Acting Chief of Police, 408-586-2521) Category: Consent Calendar-Public Safety
Meeting Date: 4/21/2026
Recommendation: Receive and approve the Calendar Year 2025 Controlled Equipment Annual Report.
BACKGROUND:
On September 30, 2021, California Governor Gavin Newsom approved AB 481 (AB 481), requiring California law enforcement agencies to obtain approval of a Military Equipment Use Policy from their applicable governing body (City Council) before taking actions related to the funding, acquisition, or use of controlled equipment. AB 481 allows the governing body to approve the funding, acquisition, and use of controlled equipment (Military Equipment) within its jurisdiction if the equipment meets specified standards.
The Controlled Equipment Use Policy and an Annual Controlled Equipment Use Report are subject to annual review to affirm the criteria outlined in AB 481 have been met. In addition, AB 481 requires the publication of the Controlled Equipment Use Policy and a Controlled Equipment Use Report on the Department’s website annually and at least thirty (30) days before a mandated publicly available meeting.
California Government Code Section 7072 requires an annual report within a year of policy approval and annually after that for as long as the controlled equipment is in use. The annual report must contain the following information: (1) a summary of how the equipment was used and the purpose of its use; (2) a summary of any complaints or concerns from members of the public about the equipment; (3) the results of an internal audit, including any information about violations of the equipment use policy and any actions taken in response; (4) the total annual cost for each type of equipment, including acquisition, personnel, training, transportation, maintenance, storage, upgrade, and other ongoing expenses, and from what source funds will be provided for the controlled equipment in the calendar year following submission of the annual report; (5) the quantity possessed for each type of controlled equipment; and (6) if the law enforcement agency intends to acquire additional controlled equipment in the next year, and the quantity sought for each type of qualifying equipment.
ANALYSIS:
The Milpitas Police Department is committed to protecting lives and property by working with the Milpitas community and providing professional and responsive police services. To accomplish its mission effectively and safely, the Milpitas Police Department possesses and utilizes certain specialized equipment (controlled equipment) to safeguard the Milpitas community and protect the City’s first responders. While the City inventory of controlled equipment varies, the mere possession of this equipment does not warrant its use. The merits and totality of the circumstances of each unique incident are considered before controlled equipment is utilized in compliance with department policy and law.
The term “military equipment,” as used in AB 481, does not necessarily indicate the equipment is or has been used by the military. Many items defined as “military equipment” by AB 481 are often used by law enforcement to preserve life and enhance public and officer safety, while remaining prepared to handle the various lethal and non-lethal challenges facing our communities. The Milpitas Police Department use of controlled equipment is consistent with overall best practices employed by police departments nationwide. Items used by the Milpitas Police Department that are considered controlled equipment under AB 481 include, but are not limited to, emergency response equipment such as command vehicles and armored rescue vehicles, less-lethal
shotguns, less-lethal 40mm projectile launchers, precision weapons such as rifles, unmanned aircraft systems, and other select items.
The 2025 Annual Controlled Equipment Use Report contains a summary of the equipment usage guidelines, inventory, fiscal impact, complaints, and reported community concerns for calendar year 2025 (January 1, 2025, through December 31, 2025). Controlled equipment was deployed in support of routine operations, investigations, training, and community events throughout the year. Of approximately 64,459 calls for service in 2025, however, there were zero incidents in which controlled equipment was used during a use-of-force event.
The Department conducted 586 unmanned aerial system flights in 2025, of which 571 supported criminal investigations or active incidents, 12 supported community events and other non-criminal activities, and 3 were used for training.
The Milpitas Police Department received no complaints from the community about its controlled equipment or policies related to its use. Furthermore, an internal audit of the controlled equipment revealed no policy violations for the storage or use of controlled equipment. The impact of controlled equipment related expenses on the operating budget was negligible; the total annual costs related to controlled equipment for 2025 were approximately $97,233.27 or 0.2% of the Police Department overall operating budget.
The draft 2025 Annual Controlled Equipment Use Report was presented at the Public Safety & Emergency Preparedness Commission public meeting on March 19, 2026, which served as the community engagement meeting required under Government Code Section 7072 and Milpitas Police Department Policy Section 708.8.
The report and the Controlled Equipment Use Policy were published on the City website on or before March 19, 2026, satisfying the requirement under Government Code Section 7070 that both documents be made publicly available at least 30 days prior to the April 21, 2026 City Council meeting. The commission members did not respond with any questions/concerns related to the 2025 Annual Controlled Equipment Use Report nor the Controlled Equipment Use Policy. No members of the public commented on the item.
To continue providing adequate police services and maximize the department’s ability to keep the community and officers safe, the Milpitas Police Department will procure the following controlled equipment, previously approved by Council, for calendar year 2025:
• Two (2) Masterpiece Arms, LE-BA .308 Precision Rifles
The continued access to and use of this equipment is vital in ensuring our officers have the appropriate tools to de-escalate situations, preserve life, ensure safety for all people in Milpitas, and protect civil liberties.
POLICY ALTERNATIVE(S):
Alternative 1: Do not accept and approve the 2025 Annual Controlled Equipment Use Report.
Pros: There are no identified benefits to this alternative.
Cons: The City would not be in compliance with California State Law AB 481.
Reason for Not Recommending: The Milpitas Police Department’s use of controlled equipment is consistent with overall best practices employed by police departments nationwide and is in line with department policy.
Not accepting the report would not comply with annual reporting requirements of AB 481.
PROJECT SCHEDULE/KEY MILESTONES
The 2025 Annual Controlled Equipment Use Report contains a summary of the equipment usage guidelines, inventory, fiscal impact, complaints, and reported community concerns from January 1, 2025, through December 31, 2025. Subsequently, the report was presented at the Public Safety & Emergency Preparedness Commission public meeting on March 19, 2026. There are no additional nor future key milestones.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no additional fiscal impact associated with accepting and approving the 2025 Annual Controlled Equipment Use Report.

4 Annual Report on Controlled Equipment Use 2025
Introduction
The Milpitas Police Department is committed to the protection of lives and property by working with our community and providing professional and responsive police services.
To accomplish our mission effectively and safely, the Milpitas Police Department possesses and utilizes certain specialized equipment (controlled equipment) to safeguard the citizens of Milpitas and protect our first responders. While our inventory of controlled equipment varies, the mere possession of th is equipment does not warrant its use . The merits and totality of the circumstances of each unique incident are considered before controlled equipment is utilized in compliance with department policy and law.
The term “military equipment,” as used in Assembly Bill 481, does not necessarily indicate the equipment is, or has been used, by the military. Many i tems defined as “military equipment” by the bill are more often used by law enforcement to preserve life and enhance public and officer safety while remaining prepared to handle the various lethal and non-lethal challenges facing our communities. The Milpitas Police Department’s use of controlled equipment is consistent with overall best practices employed by police departments throughout the country.
Items used by the Milpitas Police Department that are considered controlled equipment under Assembly Bill 481 include but are not limited to emergency response equipment such as command vehicles and armored rescue vehicles, less-lethal shotguns, less-lethal 40mm projectile launchers, precision weapons such as rifles, unmanned aircraft systems, and other select items. Continued access to, and use of, this equipment is vital in ensuring our officers have the appropriate tools necessary to de-escalate situations, preserve life, ensure safety for all people, and protect civil liberties.
This Annual Controlled Equipment Use Report outlines a summary of the equipment usage guidelines, inventory, fiscal impact, complaints, and reported community concerns for calendar year 2025 (January 1, 2025, through December 31, 2025).
5 Annual Report on Controlled Equipment Use 2025
Summary of Controlled Equipment Usages
The Milpitas Police Department provides law enforcement services twenty -four hours a day, seven days a week, serving a city population of approximately 81,000. The daytime population of Milpitas increases to over 98,000 people. The Department is committed to de-escalating situations, and using force is reserved for instances where less intrusive options are not feasible. In 2025, the Milpitas Police Department responded to approximately 64,459 calls for service. Of those calls for service, officers used force on only 67 occasions, in comparison to 11 instances from 2024, representing 0.1% of the total calls for service. The increase in reported use-of-force incidents in 2025 is a result of a change in how the Milpitas Police Department tracks these events. Beginning in 2025, the department expanded use-of-force reporting to encompass a broader range of officer actions, including firearm display and physical control measures. Additionally, there were 0 incidents in which officers used controlled equipment during a use -of-force event .
Specifically, less -lethal 40mm projectile launchers and munitions (e.g. impact sponge rounds, bean bag rounds) were not deployed.
Police events and critical incidents are unpredictable and often very dynamic. The availability and use of specific equipment are necessary for incident commanders, officers, and specialized units to resolve incidents safely and effectively. It is incumbent upon incident commanders, supervisors, individual officers, and specialized t eams to recognize the circumstances wherein specialized equipment should be deployed and to utilize the equipment within the confines of department policy and state law. Each use of controlled equipment is reviewed to ensure it was used properly and justly based on the totality of the circumstances, public safety, officer safety, civil rights, state law, and information available at the time of use.

Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) (Category 1)
An unmanned aerial system of any type that can sustain direct flight, whether remotely controlled or via pre-programing, and all the attached systems are designed for gathering information via photography, recording, or any other means.
Capability: The Milpitas Police Department uses UAS of varying sizes and capabilities to enhance public safety. The UAS can be deployed when an overhead view would assist officers with planning and responding to a situation. These situations include, but are not limited to , infrastructure damage assessments, major traffic collision investigations, missing persons searches, natural disaster management, crime scene photography, SWAT, tactical or public safety assessments, and/or in response to specific requests from local, State, or Federal fire authorities for fire response and/or prevention. A Drone First Responder (DFR) program uses a strategically stationed, remotely piloted UAS to be launched immediately when a 911 call is received, allowing a quick aerial view of an incident before officers or firefighters arrive on scene. All UAS used by the Department is used in compliance with all federal, state, and local laws.
Usage: Use is established under Milpitas Policy Manual Section 456 and FAA Regulation 14 CFR Part 107. It is the policy of the Milpitas Police Department to utilize UAS only for official law enforcement purposes, and in a manner that respects the privacy of our community, pursuant to State and Federal law. UAS usages include collection of evidence in the form of aerial photography/video in support of an invest igation (i.e., shooting scenes, homicide scenes); support of SWAT and Patrol during high-risk, tactical, or other public safety life preservation missions (i.e., interior visual assessments of structures or outdoor areas to gain intelligence prior to officers entering a dwelling or contacting a potentially armed or a resistive subject that may be hiding); to conduct aerial searches for missing persons; and provide aerial observation to assist in managing natural disasters (i.e., fires, floods, storms ) or in any other manner to preserve life and enhance public safety. In 2025, the Milpitas Police Department conducted 586 UAS flights. Of these, 571 were related to criminal investigations or active incidents, 12 supported non -criminal activities, such as community events and teen academies, and 3 were used for training purposes.
Training Requirements: All Department UAS operators are licensed by the Federal Aviation Administration for UAS operations. Although not required by POST or the FAA, officers attend a 20 -hour internal training course. Course topics include nomenclature, proper and safe flying techniques, privacy concerns, laws, and review of the Department’s UAS policy.

AGENDA REPORT
(AR)
Item Title: Approve and Authorize the City Manager, or Designee, to Execute an Agreement with HydroScience Engineers, Inc. for Fire Flow and Sanitary Sewer Pipeline Improvements Project – Phase 1 (Staff Contact: Christian Di Renzo, Public Works Director, 408-586-2602; and Michael Silveira, City Engineer, 408- 586-3303)
Category: Consent Calendar-Community Development
Meeting Date: 4/21/2026
Recommendation: Approve and authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute a Design Services Agreement with HydroScience Engineers, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $797,610 for the Fire Flow and Sanitary Sewer Pipeline Improvements Project – Phase 1, CIP Nos. 7150 & 6138.
BACKGROUND:
On August 9, 2022, the City Council adopted the Sewer and Water Master Plan (Master Plans) that included recommendations for Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects through the year 2040. The recommended CIP projects were prioritized based on existing conditions, asset renewal/replacement studies, and risk/resiliency assessments. High priority improvements were recommended for completion within the first five years where medium and low priority improvements were recommended for completion by 2040.
On March 21, 2023, City Council adopted new sewer and water rates for FY 2023-24 to FY 2027-28 for the City’s sewer and water infrastructure and operations. The adopted rates fund projects to ensure the City infrastructure continues to meet customer requirements for reliable service, maintain operational level of service, as well as sustain adequate funding to meet reserve targets and fund high priority capital improvement projects.
The Utility Engineering section of the Public Works Department is responsible for planning and managing the capital improvements for the sewer and water infrastructure according to the Master Plans. Fire Flow Pipeline Improvements Project – Phase 1, CIP No. 7150 and Sanitary Sewer Pipeline Improvements Project – Phase 1, CIP No. 6138 (“Project”) are included in the adopted FY 2026-2030 Capital Improvement Program. As both projects are similar in scope of work, they will be managed under a single Design Service Agreement, which is more cost effective and maximizes City resources.
The Fire Flow Pipeline Improvements Project – Phase 1, CIP No. 7150 provides for the design and upsizing of approximately 2,700 linear feet of water mains to ensure the recommended fire flow at surrounding fire hydrants are met, as recommended per the adopted Water Master Plan. According to the City’s potable water design guidelines and the State's recommendations, the City’s water system shall provide a minimum standard fire flow rate for a required duration while maintaining at least 20 pounds per square inch (psi) residual pressure during a fire flow event. As part of Phase 1, the upsizing of water mains is planned on Abel Street, Greenwood Way, Hanson Court, and Milmont Drive. In addition, the consultant will provide a planning feasibility study to define the scope of work to guide funding decisions for Phase 2 of water main upsize on Calera Creeks Heights Drive, Carlsbad Street, Merz Court, Railroad Avenue, and Sussex Place, anticipated for construction in 2028.
The Sanitary Sewer Pipeline Improvements Project – Phase 1, CIP No. 6138 provides for the design and repair of approximately 2,400 linear feet of sewer main segments with significant defects, as recommended per the adopted Sewer Master Plan. The pipeline segments identified are considered at extreme risk of failure based on CCTV inspection footage, structural rating, susceptibility to liquefaction, pipe obstruction, age, and material type. As part of Phase 1, sewer improvements are planned along E. Calaveras Blvd. from Dempsey
