1. Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Mountain View Fixing the Employer Contribution at an Equal Amount for Employees and Annuitants Under the Public Employees’ Medical and Hospital Care Act with Respect to a Recognized Employee Organizatio n (Group 001 Safety—Fire), to be read in title only, further reading waived (Attachment 1 to the Council report).

BACKGROUND
In March 2014, the Mountain View Professional Firefighters (MVFF), Local 1965; and Mountain View Police Officers Association (POA) migrated to the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) health benefit program administered under the Public Employees’ Medical and Hospital Care Act (PEMHCA). Accordingly, the City contracts with CalPERS to provide health insurance benefits to sworn active employees and sworn retirees. Benefit levels and cost-sharing based on the premiums, including calculation of City contributions, were agreed upon by both bargaining groups. The agreed -upon terms were based on the analysis of a study conducted jointly between the MVFF and the City by a labor management committee, which hired an actuarial consultant to advise the City.
In October 2015, the City adopted new resolutions to clarify the employer contribution as required by CalPERS, annually to maintain the City’s contribution structure to premium rates as intended and outlined in Memorandums of Understanding (MOU) with both groups. Since 2019, the City Council has adopted updated resolutions annually at the direction of CalPERS as an administrative requirement to incorporate the required specific contribution amounts and 66 Employer Health Contribution for Safety Employees and Annuitants Under the Public Employees’ Medical and Hospital Care Act September 8, 2026
preserve the contribution structure agreed upon with the labor groups. These annual resolutions do not change the City's benefit structure or policy but ensure continued compliance with CalPERS requirements.
ANALYSIS
In July 2026, the CalPERS Board approved new rates for 202 7 health insurance plans, and City contributions for the new plan year have been calculated according to labor agreements. The deadline to file new resolutions with CalPERS is November 30, 2026. However, CalPERS encourages adoption sooner to align with their open enrollment period of September 14, 2026 through October 9, 2026. The resolutions are included in this report as Attachments 1 and 2 and specify the contribution amounts, based on 202 7 premium rates and the contribution structure in the MOUs.
The City has engaged with the leadership of MVFF, POA, and unrepresented sworn management regarding the need to adopt a PEMHCA resolution for 2027 employer contributions and has shared the updated employer contributions in the attached resolutions with all parties. The attached resolutions are updated to outline City contributions to comply with CalPERS requirements, maintain the intent of the curre nt employer contribution structure as outlined in MOUs, and support the adoption of new resolutions as soon as possible to ensure employees and eligible annuitants have the open enrollment information needed to make informed medical insurance decisions during the CalPERS open enrollment period.
FISCAL IMPACT
The increased employer contributions associated with the 2027 premium rates are included in the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Adopted Budget. No additional appropriation is required as a result of the recommended actions.
LEVINE ACT
California Government Code Section 84308 (also known as the Levine Act) prohibits city officials from participating in any proceeding involving a “license, permit, or other entitlement for use” if the official has received a campaign contribution exceeding $500 from a party, participant, or agent of a party or participant within the last 12 months. The Levine Act is intended to prevent financial influence on decisions that affect specific, identifiable persons or participants.

(Five votes required)
BACKGROUND
Application for State PLHA Program Funds
On October 25, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 18721 authorizing submission of an application to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) for funding through the Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) Program. The PLHA Program is a five-year state grant program spanning 2019 through 2023 that provides funding for a variety of eligible activities to increase the supply of housing affordable to households earning at or below 120% of the Area Median Income (AMI). As part of the application, the City Council approved allocating PLHA funds to a multi-family affordable housing development and a Below- Market-Rate (BMR) Downpayment Assistance Pilot Program, both eligible PLHA activities. The City was awarded $1,094,136 in PLHA funds for the first three allocation years (2019 -2021). An 74 Accept and Appropriate Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) Funds for Affordable Housing Projects and Programs
September 8, 2026
agreement with HCD was executed on June 20, 2023, establishing the terms and conditions of the award.
Appropriation of 2019-2021 State PLHA Program Funds
On February 13, 2024 , the City Council adopted R esolution No. 18866 accepting and appropriating the PLHA award. Through this resolution, $930,000 was appropriated to the 96 West El Camino Real affordable housing project, a 79 -unit development by Danco Housing that will serve households earning between 30% and 60% of the AMI. The City's previously approved $8 million Housing Impact Fund contribution to the project was reduced by an equivalent amount, resulting in a revised Housing Impact Fund contribution of $7,070,000. This reappropriation freed up $930,000 in local housing funds to be used for future affordable housing developments.
Resolution No. 18866 also appropriated $110,000 for the development and implementation of a Below-Market-Rate (BMR) Downpayment Assistance Pilot Program to provide closing cost assistance to income-eligible households purchasing BMR ownership units . This allocation was based on direction provided by the City Council during the June 14, 2022 Housing Element Study Session and the August 30, 2022 Affordable Housing Study Session, where expanding homeownership opportunities was identified as a priority and staff were directed to explore funding options to support homeownership.
The remaining $54,136 was authorized to be used for administrative costs associated with implementing eligible PLHA-funded activities.
The Downpayment Assistance Pilot Program and administrative funds were not expended during the fiscal year in which they were received and were not carried forward as part of the City’s adopted budget. As a result, City Council action is required to reappropriate the funds and make them available for expenditure . Accordingly, this staff report includes recommendations to reappropriate both the Downpayment Assistance Pilot Program and administrative funds from the 2019-21 State PLHA Program funds.
ANALYSIS
On June 27, 2025, HCD awarded the City $388,515 in PLHA funds for the remaining two allocation years (2022 -2023), thereby increasing the total five -year award amount from $1,094,136 to $1,482,651. An amended agreement with HCD for the full five-year award was executed on April 2, 2026.
75 Accept and Appropriate Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) Funds for Affordable Housing Projects and Programs
September 8, 2026
Multi-Family Affordable Housing Development
Consistent with the City's approved application and eligible uses, staff recommend appropriating $336,483 of the 2022- 2023 PLHA Program allocation to the 96 West El Camino Real affordable housing project. Use of PLHA funds for the project is consistent with the City's affordable housing strategy to maximize leverage of non-City funds to support the City’s affordable housing pipeline.
Staff is working with the developer to complete the financing for the project, including the PLHA funding discussed in this report and the tax -exempt bond financing presented in a separate Consent Calendar item on the September 8, 2026 Council agenda for this project , to facilitate a targeted construction start in March 2027.
Staff also recommends that the City Council reduce the City's Housing Impact Fund contribution to the 96 West El Camino Real affordable housing project by $336,483. This reduction would allow the local housing funds to be redirected to other affordable housing projects, maximize the City's limited housing resources, and be consistent with the local funding reduction action taken on February 13, 2024 as noted in the Background section.
Homeownership Assistance Pilot Program (formerly called Downpayment Assistance Pilot Program)
Consistent with the City's approved PLHA application and prior City Council direction , staff recommends appropriating an additional $32,036 from the 2022-2023 PLHA award allocation to the Downpayment Assistance Pilot Program. Staff also recommends refocusing and renaming the program as described below.
Initially, t he program was intended to expand homeownership opportunities by providing downpayment and/or closing cost assistance to income -eligible homebuyers. While originally envisioned to assist purchasers of Below-Market-Rate (BMR) ownership units, there are currently only 14 BMR ownership units in the City, which significantly limits the pool of potential program participants. S taff recommends broadening the proposed program to include income-eligible non-BMR homebuyers to increase program utilization and meet PLHA expenditure deadlines.
Additionally, the City is in the process of developing a comprehensive Low- and Middle-income Homeownership Strategy (Strategy), which is anticipated to come to Council for consideration in December 2026. Staff research to-date indicates that a downpayment assistance program would require significantly more funding than is available from the PLHA allocation if such a program were to make an impact for homebuyers and be cost effective to administer . Therefore, staff recommends that the program focus on closing cost assistance and that the name be changed from Downpayment Assistance Pilot Program to Homeownership Assistance Pilot Program (HAPP). The HAPP aligns with PLHA requirements, as well as with the policies and programs that 76 Accept and Appropriate Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) Funds for Affordable Housing Projects and Programs
September 8, 2026
are anticipated to be included in the Strategy. Staff anticipates finalizing and implementing the HAPP by the second quarter of 2027 after the Strategy is adopted.
The additional PLHA funds will support implementation of the program and advance the City Council's goal of expanding homeownership opportunities for low- and moderate -income households.
As discussed above, $110,000 of the City’s 2019-2021 PLHA funds are being recommended for reappropriation to this program so that they may be used for their intended purpose.
Administration
The City plans to use up to $ 19,996 of the 2022-2023 PLHA award allocation for administrative costs related to the execution of eligible activities, as allowed under the PLHA guidelines. As discussed above, $ 54,136 of the City’s 2019- 2021 PLHA funds are also being reappropriated to make them available for administrative costs.
FISCAL IMPACT
The recommended actions have no financial impact on the General Fund. Acceptance and appropriation of the $388,515 2022-2023 PLHA award will provide $336,483 for the 96 West El Camino Real affordable housing project, $32,036 for the Homeownership Assistance Pilot Program, and $19,996 for eligible administrative costs.
The $336,483 in PLHA funds appropriated to the 96 West El Camino Real affordable housing project will replace an equivalent amount of previously appropriated Housing Impact Funds .
Accordingly, the Housing Impact Fund appropriation for the project will be reduced from $7,070,000 to $6,733,517, with no net change to the project budget. This funding substitution will make $336,483 in Housing Impact Funds available for future City affordable housing projects and initiatives.
The recommended actions will also reappropriat e $164,136 in previously appropriated 2019 - 2021 PLHA funds, consisting of $110,000 for t he Homeownership Assistance Pilot Program and $54,136 for eligible administrative costs . These funds were previously appropriated by the City Council; however, the appropriation expired at the end of the fiscal year and was not carried forward. Reappropriation is therefore necessary to make the remaining PLHA funds available for these eligible uses.

TITLE: Multi-family Housing Tax-Exempt Bond
Financing for 96 West El Camino Real
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Mountain View Approving the Issuance of the California Municipal Finance Authority Exempt Facility Bonds in an Aggregate Principal Amount Not to Exceed Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000) for the Purpose of Financing or Refinancing the Acquisition, Construction, Improvement and Equipping of a Rental Housing Project Located at 96 West El Camino Real and Certain Other Matters Relating Thereto , to be read in title only, further reading waived (Attachment 1 to the Council report).
BACKGROUND
Danco Communities will develop a fully affordable rental project at 96 West El Camino Real (Camino Commons ), comprising 78 affordable units and one manager’s unit. The project is funded with multiple sources, including $8 million in City funding, $7.9 million in County funding under the City- County Measure A M emorandum of Understanding, and State low -income housing tax credits and tax -exempt bond financing as described below . The City’s funding commitment of $ 8 million is comp osed of $1.2 6 million in State Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) funding and $6.74 million from the City’s Housing Impact Fees. A separate item on this meeting’s consent calendar recommends acceptance and appropriation of additional PLHA funds for the project as part of the City’s overall funding commitment, which brings the total PLHA funding to $1.2 6 million. This funding commitment would be part of the Construction/Permanent loan agreement, with a standard interest rate for the entire loan amount at three percent simple accrued interest; however, no payments are due during the construction period.
The State has awarded the project $46,354,095 in Low -Income Housing Tax Credits and $23,650,730 in tax-exempt bond allocation. This report seeks Council authorization of a not-to- exceed principal amount of $50,000,000, which establishes the federal ceiling required under Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act (TEFRA) . While the borrower currently anticipates an allocation and issuance of approximately $24,000,000, the higher authorization accommodates potential construction-phase financing needs, interest rate fluctuations, and cost contingencies 82 Multi-family Housing Tax-Exempt Bond Financing for 96 West El Camino Real September 8, 2026
without additional administrative requirements. Both funding sources are critical for the financial viability of the project. The tax -exempt designation of the bonds is not automatic; it requires completion of the federal TEFRA process, including a public hearing and City Council adoption of a resolution approving the California Municipal Finance Authority’s (CMFA) issuance of bonds. It also requires a bond allocation and a legal opinion from bond counsel confirming that all requirements under the Internal Revenue Code have been met.
California Municipal Finance Authority Housing Bond Program
CMFA was created on January 1, 2004, pursuant to a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement (JPA) to assist local governments, nonprofit organizations, and businesses with the issuance of taxable and tax-exempt bonds to fund a wide range of activities – including affordable housing projects – to improve the standard of living in California. Membership is a prerequisite for CMFA to issue bonds for projects within a given jurisdiction. The City of Mountain View joined the JPA on February 12, 2013. To date, more than 300 municipalities, including the City of Mountain View, have joined CMFA.
The Board of Directors of the California Foundation for Stronger Communities, a California nonprofit public benefit corporation (the “Foundation”), acts as the Board of Directors (Board) for the CMFA. The CMFA representatives and its Board have considerable experience in bond financings. The CMFA noncompetitively issues bond financing based on a project’s eligibility, funding criteria, and compliance with procedural requirements, such as the City’s bond hearing and resolution adoption process.
The bonds may be used to finance the construction of a new project or refinance the acquisition and rehabilitation of an existing project, provided the developer agrees to set aside all, or a portion, of the units in a project for very low- and low- income households. A developer can finance a project at a lower interest rate than available through conventional financing because the interest paid to bondholders is exempt from Federal (and, in some cases, State) income taxes.
Obtaining financing through the bond program also allows a project to be eligible for low-income housing tax credits.
Tax and Equity Fiscal Responsibility Act Hearing Overview
In order for CMFA to issue the bonds on a tax-exempt basis, the TEFRA requires a public hearing to provide the public an opportunity to speak for or against financing the project with the bonds.
The hearing may be held in person or via teleconference. The entity holding the public hearing must be located within Mountain View. Notice of the hearing must be published in a newspaper of general circulation at least seven days prior to the date of the public hearing. Following the public hearing, the local elected body is asked to adopt a resolution approving CMFA’s issuance of the bonds.
83 Multi-family Housing Tax-Exempt Bond Financing for 96 West El Camino Real September 8, 2026
TEFRA hearings are routinely held for affordable housing projects, as tax-exempt bond financing and low -income housing tax credits are key funding sources for nearly all affordable housing projects. The City last conducted a TEFRA hearing via teleconferenc e on March 4, 2026, for the La Bella affordable housing project at 1020 Terra Bella being developed by Alta Housing, which allowed CMFA to issue tax-exempt bonds for the project.
ANALYSIS
TEFRA Hearing
On August 20 , 2026, CMFA conducted a public hearing via teleconference, with City staff in attendance consistent with the City’s past practice for TEFRA hearings, to provide an opportunity for the public to speak for or against the bond financing for the 96 West El Camino Real project.
Notice of the hearing was published in the Palo Alto Daily Post in accordance with public noticing requirements. There were no members of the public in attendance, and no comments were received. The meeting minutes are included as Attachment 2 to this report.
To satisfy federal requirements under the TEFRA, the City Council is now being asked to adopt a resolution (see Attachment 1) approving the issuance of tax-exempt bond financing by CMFA. As is typical with tax -credit projects, Danco Communities has formed a limited partnership , Mountain View El Camino Real LP , a California limited partnership, to apply for the bonds and tax-credit financing and oversee construction of the project. A s noted above, a tax credit reservation for the project was made in May 2026 by the Tax Credit Allocation Committee (TCAC); however, the tax credit will not be formally issued until this tax -exempt bond financing is approved. The City Council’s adoption of the TEFRA resolution authorizes CMFA to issue these bonds, triggering the release of the tax credits. Together, the bond proceeds and tax credit equity complete the project financing, enabling construction to begin by March 2027.
FISCAL IMPACT
Adoption of the resolution is necessary for the developer to proceed with securing necessary tax- exempt bond financing from CMFA as well as tax credits for the project. The bonds are the sole financial obligation of the developer and do not create any financial obligation for the City. All financing documents with respect to the issuance of the bonds will contain clear language that the bonds are not obligations of the City and are to be paid solely with funds provided by the borrower (developer).
The CMFA shares a portion of its bond issuance fees with its member agencies. It is anticipated that the City will receive approximately $17,000 from the CMFA related to this issuance. The final amount is dependent on the final bond amounts that are issued. The proceeds are unrestricted revenue that may be used for any lawful purpose. Consistent with past practice, staff will deposit the fee into the Housing Fund to support the City’s housing programs and activities. 84 Multi-family Housing Tax-Exempt Bond Financing for 96 West El Camino Real September 8, 2026
LEVINE ACT
California Government Code Section 84308 (also known as the Levine Act) prohibits city officials from participating in any proceeding involving a “license, permit, or other entitlement for use” if the official has received a campaign contribution exceeding $500 from a party, participant, or agent of a party or participant within the last 12 months. The Levine Act is intended to prevent financial influence on decisions that affect specific, identifiable persons or participants.

BACKGROUND
Affirmed Housing will develop a fully affordable rental project at 87 East Evelyn Ave, comprising 161 affordable units and two manager’s unit. The project is funded with multiple sources, including $8 million in City funding, $35 million through the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities (AHSC) funding award, and State low-income housing tax credits and tax -exempt bond financing as described below.

BACKGROUND
Joint Use Agreement
On January 23, 2024, the City Council authorized the City Manager or designee to execute a new Joint Use Agreement (”JUA”) between the Mountain View Whisman School District (“District” or “MVWSD”) and the City of Mountain View for recreational use of school sites. This agreement includes 11 sites:
• Benjamin Bubb Elementary School (“Bubb School Field”)
• Mariana Castro Elementary School and Gabriela Mistral Elementary School (“Castro School Field”)
• O.J. Cooper Elementary School (“Cooper Park”)
98 Amendment to the Joint Use Agreement with Mountain View Whisman School District, Payment for Restroom Facilities at Castro, Imai, and Landels Elementary School
September 8, 2026
• Amy Imai Elementary School (“Imai School Field”)
• Edith Landels Elementary School (“Landels School Field”)
• Monta Loma Elementary School (“Monta Loma School Field”)
• Jose Antonio Vargas Elementary School (“Vargas School Field”)
• Stevenson/Theuerkauf Elementary Schools (“Stevenson School Field”)
• Crittenden Middle School (“Crittenden Athletic Sports Complex”)
• Graham Middle School (“Graham Athletic Sports Complex”)
• Whisman School site (“Whisman Park”)
Under the JUA, the City maintains these fields and the recreational area defined in the JUA's Attachments and manages reservations and public access during non -school hours. The JUA outlines the City's and the public's access to these sites, as well as the City’s and District’s maintenance responsibilities. The JUA was signed by both parties on February 26, 2024, and has a 10-year term.
Following execution of the JUA, the City and District reviewed the maintenance responsibilities outlined in Attachments 1 through 11 of the JUA and identified opportunities to clarify them, as outlined in the Analysis section of this memorandum . Any revisions to the Attachments of the JUA require that an amendment to the JUA to be executed with Council approval.
Restroom Facilities at Castro, Imai, and Landel Elementary Schools
In 2014, the City adopted the sixth update to the Parks and Open Space Plan (“POSP”). The POSP evaluated open space resources across the City and its neighborhoods and prioritized recommendations for acquiring, improving, and preserving parks and open space. The POSP included a recommendation to improve and renovate existing parks, with a highlighted project to work with the MVWSD to design and construct joint- use restrooms at Castro School Field, Landels School Field, and Imai School Field (formerly Huff School Field).
The City Council previously approved three capital improvement projects to provide restroom facilities at these sites : Bubb Park and Huff Park Restrooms, Project 04 -29; Landels Park Restrooms, Project 13 -34; and the Castro Park Bathroom, Partnership with the Mountain View 99 Amendment to the Joint Use Agreement with Mountain View Whisman School District, Payment for Restroom Facilities at Castro, Imai, and Landels Elementary School
September 8, 2026
Whisman School District, Project 17-47. In partnership with the City, the District took the lead in designing and constructing the standalone restroom facilities at each site with input from City staff. As part of this partnership, the City is to reimburse the District for 50% of the design and construction costs associated with each restroom facility.
Following the execution of the 2024 JUA, the MVWSD began construction of the restrooms at Imai, Landels, and Castro school sites. Construction of each restroom facility was completed in November 2025, and the facilities opened for use on November 10, 2025. Surrounding site restoration was completed in spring 2026. The new restroom facilities are available to the public daily during non-school hours, including evenings, weekends, holidays, and school breaks , until 30 minutes past sunset.
ANALYSIS
Amendment to the Joint Use Agreement
The proposed amendments to the JUA Attachments are intended to clarify and update maintenance responsibilities within the Recreation Areas based on current site conditions and operational practices, and to incorporate the new restroom facilities completed since the agreement was executed.
A consistent amendment applicable to all sites clarifies that the City is responsible for removing trash from receptacles within the defined Recreation Areas, while the District is responsible for trash receptacles outside the Recreation Areas.
The amendment s to the JUA Attachments also include several site -specific updates , with the substantive changes summarized below:
• Clarifying the City’s maintenance responsibilities for the newly constructed restroom facilities at Castro, Imai, and Landels School Fields;
• Assigning responsibility for tree maintenance to the City within Recreation Areas at Cooper and Whisman School Fields;
• Updating landscape maintenance responsibilities at Bubb School Field, Crittenden Athletic Sports Complex, and Stevenson School Field;
• Incorporating a reciprocal statement that the City will not permit eating on artificial turf fields at Vargas School Field, Graham Athletic Sports Complex, and Crittenden Athletic Sports Complex; and
100
Amendment to the Joint Use Agreement with Mountain View Whisman School District, Payment for Restroom Facilities at Castro, Imai, and Landels Elementary School
September 8, 2026
• Updating that the District is responsible for the maintenance of the shot put and long jump pits at both Crittenden and Graham Athletic Sports Complexes.
City and District staff worked collaboratively to develop the proposed amendment to the JUA Attachments. In practice, many of the responsibilities identified in the amendment have already been implemented by the respective parties, and the proposed changes formalize and clarify maintenance responsibilities as they are currently carried out at the school fields. All changes are identified by underline and strikeout in the attached copy of the proposed amendment (Attachment 1).
Restroom Facilities
Upon completion of the restroom facilities in November 2025, the City assumed maintenance and operational responsibilities for them. With Council’s acceptance of the restroom facilities, staff recommend that Council authorize the City Manager or designee to remit $941,571.05 to MVWSD for the City’s 50% share of the design and construction costs.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with approv al of the amendment to the JUA . The City’s existing budget includes sufficient funding for the maintenance and programming of the District fields.
Funding for the restroom facilities is included in Bubb Park and Huff Park Restrooms, Project 04- 29; Landels Park Restroom, Project 13-34; and Castro School Bathroom, Partnership with School District, Project 17 -47. All three projects are funded by the Park Land Dedication Fund for the City’s share of restroom facilities costs. The current available budget and the City’s share of project costs are summarized below.

September 8, 2026
The current combined available budget for the three projects is approximately $1.2 4 million, which is sufficient to fund the City’s total share of project costs of approximately $942,000.
Therefore, no additional appropriation is required. Any remaining funds will be returned to the Park Land Dedication Fund upon payment to the District and closeout of the projects.

TITLE: Council Policy A-13b Community
Engagement in Public Meetings
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Mountain View Adopting Council Policy A-13b Governing Community Engagement in Public Meetings, to be read in title only, further reading waived (Attachment 1 to the Council report).
BACKGROUND
Senate Bill 707 , signed into law in October 2025 , amended the Ralph M. Brown Act to, among other things, add California Government Code § 54953.4. This section requires cities to , among other things, “make reasonable efforts, as determined by the legislative body, to invite groups that do not traditionally participate in public meetings to attend those meetings.”
The proposed Council Policy A-13b - Community Engagement in Public Meetings will ensure the City of Mountain View meets the new public access and engagement requirements set forth in Section 54953.4.
ANALYSIS
The recommended policy builds on the City’s extensive communications and engagement strategies, which have been in place for many years and meet most of the requirements in California Government Code § 54953.4. The remaining requirement is to document and adopt the City’s communications and engagement strategies into a policy that establishes clear procedures for the City’s community outreach efforts to (1) make reasonable efforts to engage the community in the governmental process through a variety of communication platforms, and (2) promote broad and inclusive participation in public meetings, with particular attention to underrepresented and non-English-speaking communities.
The recommended policy details the City’s efforts to engage the community through a variety of communication platforms, including: providing public notice and encouraging public participation through the City website ; customer relationship management system (online service request s and Frequently Asked Questions ( FAQ) platform) and mobile app ; City print 145
Council Policy A-13b Community Engagement in Public Meetings September 8, 2026
publications and e-newsletters; social media; email notifications and subscriptions; government access cable channel; and media outreach.
In addition, the recommended policy outlines the City’s efforts to increase participation in public meetings by individuals and groups that have been historically underrepresented. Such efforts include, but are not limited to, outreach at City -sponsored events, participation in community and neighborhood assoc iation meetings and events, the programs and services of the City’s Multicultural Engagement Program, including translation and interpretation and Spanish and Chinese Language Civic Leadership Academy p rograms, adoption of the City’s Language Access and Multicultural Community Engagement Administration Instruction, and posting public meeting agendas, including City Council agendas, and on the bulletin board outside City Hall.
CPPC Recommendation
Staff presented the recommended policy to the Council Policy and Procedures Committee (CPPC) on May 6, 2026. The CPPC recommended the following modifications:
• Additions to Section 1 – include additional flexible language for each communication tool, platform, and product to provide for different channels and technology, as applicable; the addition of storyboards and passive/physical signage ; and the option, if necessary, to stay current, removing the reference to specific communication tools and products, and reference to an administrative “Exhibit,” which could include such specifics and be updated as needed by staff.
• Enhancements to Section 2 – incorporate other outreach that is conducted to nonprofits, community-based organizations, and others, as consistent with City practices.
The final recommended Council Policy includes the CPPC’s direction above, including the use of two administrative exhibits, which provide more information about specific communication and outreach channels, methods, and procedures, which may change over time. The City’s Communications and Community Engagement Plan is included as Exhibit A. The City’s Language Access and Multicultural Community Engagement Administrative Instruction is included as Exhibit B.
The policy was initially scheduled for Council adoption at its June 23, 2026 meeting. The item was deferred without discussion at that time to enable staff to make corrections to more accurately reflect the direction from the CPPC.
Staff recommends adoption of a resolution to adopt Council Policy A- 13b, Community Engagement in Public Meetings . Adoption of this policy is necessary to meet the statutory requirements, demonstrating how the City encourages community engagement and participation in public meetings. City Council approval of the policy will ensure the City remains 146
Council Policy A-13b Community Engagement in Public Meetings September 8, 2026
in compliance with the Brown Act while continuing to encourage broad and inclusive participation in public meetings, with particular attention to underrepresented and non-English- speaking communities.
FISCAL IMPACT
The new mandates required by SB 707 are not reimbursable by the state. Most actions required by the legislation reflect current City practices and can be implemented with existing resources .
No appropriation is needed at this time.
LEVINE ACT
California Government Code Section 84308 (also known as the Levine Act) prohibits city officials from participating in any proceeding involving a “license, permit, or other entitlement for use” if the official has received a campaign contribution exceeding $500 from a party, participant, or agent of a party or participant within the last 12 months. The Levine Act is intended to prevent financial influence on decisions that affect specific, identifiable persons or participants. For more information, see the Fair Political Practices Commission website: www.fppc.ca.gov/learn/pay-to- play-limits-and-prohibitions.html
Please see below for information about whether the recommended action for this agenda item is subject to or exempt from the Levine Act.
EXEMPT FROM THE LEVINE ACT

ALTERNATIVES

Community Engagement Plan
I. OVERVIEW
The Communications and Community Engagement Plan describes the objectives, policies, and resources to improve and strengthen the City’s communication and engagement with our Mountain View community.
Our mission is to provide consistent, timely, and accurate internal and external communications and engagement opportunities while supporting the City’s strategic priorities. The plan outlines the delivery of effective, proactive communication and uses a range of communication and outreach methods to improve public and language access to information about the City of Mountain View and its services.
II. BACKGROUND
The Communications and Outreach Division leads the overall communication and multicultural community outreach efforts for the City of Mountain View. Led by the Chief Communications Officer, the team focuses on providing public information, community engagement, multicultural outreach, and transparency. The Communications and Outreach team will continue efforts to expand on and enhance communication and outreach mechanisms already in place.
In a matrix environment, the Communications and Outreach Division provides communications and outreach resources to support departments with developing news releases, promotional collateral, government access channel content, and web/print graphics; communications planning; media relations; multicultural outreach planning; social media strategy; video production; and web content management. As part of the City Manager’s Office, the division supports the City Manager and their designee with public and employee presentations and events.
The team strives to meet the following seven objectives as listed below.
Objectives:
1. Strengthen the City of Mountain View brand identity by delivering coordinated, consistent messaging that delivers on the pillars of the City’s brand and its reputation.
2. Enhance external communications, making sure that key messages and accurate information are shared, in a variety of formats, in a consistent, timely, cost-effective, and culturally appropriate manner.

3. Support internal communications in collaboration with the Human Resources Department by providing information that is relevant to employees, reflective of the City values and culture, and enhances staff engagement.
4. Engage residents in the governmental process by soliciting input and feedback on City issues in the community, providing opportunities for involvement in local public decision making, and further building relationships with diverse community groups, local governments, civic and business organizations, residents, and stakeholder groups.
5. Manage media relations efforts, providing information proactively, cultivating relationships with television, print, online, and radio media, while improving coordination across City departments in the sharing of information with media partners, updating policies and procedures, and providing appropriate training for staff.
6. Drive the use of technology and digital media, including through visual storytelling, to further enhance community and stakeholder relationships and provide an additional way for the public to access City information.
7. Provide employee development and training opportunities by offering tools and resources that will strengthen internal communication among City departments and share best practices in communications and public outreach techniques for multicultural audiences.
The Communications and Outreach Division also provides guidance, coordination, and support to build staff capacity for effective communications and outreach to the community. The Division convenes and oversees the Communications Roundtable (CRT), which is made up of department representatives who are involved in communications within their respective departments. The division hosts bimonthly CRT meetings to update staff on communication best practices, provide training sessions; share tips, standard operating procedures, and policies; heighten awareness of upcoming events; and stay current on significant citywide and department-specific issues.

For assistance with culturally appropriate outreach methods and language access, email [email protected].
VII. TOOLS AND RESOURCES
Ask MV
Mountain View offers Ask MV, a customer relationship management (CRM) platform for community members to engage through their desktop computer or an iPhone or Android smartphone, 24 hours a day/seven days a week, without needing to know the appropriate City department, division, or staff person.
With this CRM tool, residents can submit, track, and view nearby service requests. Users can snap a photo, add the location, and send requests directly to City staff. Once a request is submitted, it will be routed to the appropriate department. Through Ask MV, users will be notified of the status of their request and completion date. The Ask MV app offers services such as reporting graffiti, tree issues, code enforcement issues, and much more. Ask MV allows community members to extend the reach of staff in identifying issues and provides an efficient means of communication with the City.
City Banner Program
City programs can use banners to promote events. The City hangs street banners at two locations:
• El Camino Real and Rengstorff Avenue
• El Camino Real and Bay Street
Banners are managed by the Recreation Division. Banners need to display the event date, and the hanging window must be for the two weeks leading up to the event date. Forestry staff will put up and take down the banner.
The banner specifications are: 3 feet by 30 feet, with #3 grommets spaced 2 inches apart. Please contact the Recreation Division for more detailed specifications prior to going into production.
For more information and to reserve space, contact [email protected].
City Website
The City of Mountain View website, MountainView.gov, serves as a central source of City information where all collateral, information, news items, calendar of events, etc. will be posted 161
Communications and Community Engagement Plan
Established October 2022; Last Updated July 2026
6 Communications and
Community Engagement Plan
and made available to the public. The website serves as an online gateway to the City organization.
It is an important tool for illustrating and supporting Mountain View’s identity.
Email Notification System
The City uses an email notification system, which is integrated with the MountainView.gov website platform and available as a digital communications platform for sending relevant, personalized messages to target audiences. City staff is able to share events, meetings, news announcements, and updates from the website to subscribers through the email notification system. In addition, City staff can use the platform to send e-newsletters and other relevant information. Members of the public and media representatives can subscribe to receive emails about the latest news, meetings, events, and job openings in the City of Mountain View.
Through the email notification system, over 70,792 subscribers are currently signed up to receive email updates on 136 subject topics. The average number of subscriptions per subscriber is three (3).
Mountain View City Television
Mountain View City TV is the City’s government access channel, available on Comcast Cable Channel 28 and AT&T Channel 99.
The channel provides useful information to the public about city government, including live and recorded airings of City Council, Environmental Planning Commission, and Rental Housing Committee meetings, events such as the Annual Tree Lighting Ceremony, public service announcements, and an electronic bulletin board with information on upcoming meetings and events.
The City also livestreams City Council and other public meetings, as feasible, through the website and social media (currently on the City’s YouTube channel).
Requests for slides to run on the electronic bulletin board, including their production, can be made through the Communications and Outreach Division at [email protected].
Mountain View Community Shuttle
The community shuttle has eight shuttles in operation with four in service at any time. A shuttle graphic (poster) is placed on the rear window of all community shuttles. It can take up to 2-3 weeks for the poster to appear on shuttles due to maintenance rotations.
The shuttle posters are for City events or outreach campaigns, like Vision Zero, and can last as long as needed or until the event has passed. If there are no other ads in the works, the ads will stay up as long as desired.

A square design, preferably in a vector file format, is needed for the design. Because it is a moving billboard, the text needs to be large and with limited details so that the public can absorb the information as the shuttle passes by. In addition, for shorter-running ads, flyers/posters can be posted on the interior of the shuttle.
The advertising cost is variable, depending on what type of material the graphic is printed on, how many vehicles are available, and other factors. The cost does include printing, installation, and removal of the graphics. Graphic design work is not included.
For more information about community shuttle advertising options, contact Karen Boggs with the Mountain View Transportation Management Association at [email protected] or call Karen at 925-899-2360.
Publications
The City’s Communications and Outreach Division produces publications, which are available to residents and businesses. They include:
• City Hall Connection: The City’s e-newsletter is typically published twice a month and available to the public to receive via an email subscription or to view online at MountainView.gov/CityHallConnection.
• The View: The View is the biannual print publication of the City of Mountain View for residents and businesses. The publication is mailed to residential addresses and businesses two times a year (fall/winter and spring/summer). The newsletter provides updates about key initiatives, projects, and events in the city. View past editions online at MountainView.gov/TheView.
A number of City departments/divisions also produce publications. For a complete listing, visit MountainView.gov/whats-happening/city-newsroom/newsletters.
Public Meetings
In addition to City Council meetings, staff may develop and plan workshops, community meetings, and pop-up events to engage the community.
Be mindful of when a public meeting may generate increased need for community outreach. To assist with determining when additional outreach is needed, consider the following questions:
• Is the discussion about something new that would require the public to take action or follow new regulations?
• Would it affect quality of life?
• Are there opposing views on a proposal the City is considering? • Would the media likely report on the public meeting?

Video Productions
Videos are among the most valuable tools for telling a story. A well-crafted video can elevate an ordinary event to something extraordinary by showing rather than telling the viewer about it.
