CITY OF SAN BRUNO
DATE: March 25, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Alex D. McIntyre, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Nick Pegueros, Administrative Services Director & CFO SUBJECT: Consider Adoption of a Resolution Declaring Intention to Reimburse Expenditures from the Proceeds of Certain Obligations and Directing Certain Actions
BACKGROUND:

In 2024, San Bruno voters approved Measure Q, a general obligation bond authorization totaling $102 million to be issued over approximately 15 years to fund capital improvements to stormwater, street, and fire station infrastructure. The specific ballot question was:

Shall City of San Bruno measure be adopted to:
 repair deteriorating storm-drains, preventing failure, flooding, water pollution/ sinkholes;
 repair potholes/ city streets;
 upgrade fire stations, improving emergency response, accommodate modern firefighting/ lifesaving emergency medical equipment, function during earthquakes/ natural disasters;
authorizing $102,000,000 in bonds, at a tax rate of 3¢ per $100 of assessed value, while bonds are outstanding, initially generating $3,300,000 annually, without funds for administrators/ cannot be taken by the State of California, with citizen oversight/ independent audits?
At their March 11, 2025 meeting, the City Council provided direction on a preliminary spending plan totaling $17.5 million in fiscal years 2025-26, 2026-27, and 2027-28, subject to final approval in the Fiscal Year 2025-26 (FY26) budget.

DISCUSSION:

City staff, with financial advisor Fieldman, Rolapp & Associates, Inc., have planned a two-bond issuance over the 4-year Measure Q spending plan. The first bond is expected in late 2025 and the second in fiscal year 2028-29, allowing time for staff to prepare for construction of anticipated facilities. Depending on final FY26 budget approvals, the first bond will range from $17.5 and up to $34.0 million. Due to project expenditure timing, the General Fund may need to advance up to $2.0 million to the Measure Q fund before bonds are issued. Once issued, the 2024 Measure Q Bond Fund will reimburse the General Fund using proceeds from the bond sale. Pre-issuance costs may include direct staff charges, design professional services, and 14 of 305

construction.

To reimburse the General Fund’s advance to the 2024 Measure Q Bond Fund, the City needs to comply with certain IRS requirements in order for the bonds, installment sale agreement or other form of borrowing (an “Obligation”) to be issued tax-exempt. The IRS allows a municipal issuer to use the proceeds of its Obligation issuance to reimburse expenditures made prior to the time bonds are issued, but only so long as the City expresses an intent to do so prior to the actual issuance of the Obligation.

A reimbursement resolution, Attachment 1, is the required expression of intent and is needed if the City will want to use Obligation proceeds to reimburse itself for costs it actually pays prior to the issuance of the Obligation. The City then can use the proceeds to reimburse itself for costs of the project paid up to 60 days prior to the date the resolution is adopted, subject to certain limitations, the main one being: reimbursement (bond issuance) must occur not later than 18 months after the later of (i) the date on which the expenditure is paid, or (ii) the date on which the project is placed in service, but in no event more than 3 years after the expenditure was paid.

No reimbursement resolution is required for reimbursement of soft costs (with a 20% limit for soft costs older than 60 days prior to the resolution). The resolution is not required for reimbursement of “soft” costs (e.g., design, environmental review), however, it is good practice to adopt the resolution well in advance of the expenditure of “hard” costs (e.g., construction, utility relocation).

In order to reimburse from proceeds of a tax-exempt City obligation, if such an obligation is incurred, the City has been advised by its bond counsel that the Council should adopt a resolution indicating the City’s intent to so reimburse. There is no consequence to the City if a borrowing obligation is ultimately not issued.

The proposed resolution meets the IRS requirement enabling the reimbursement for prior expenditures. The reimbursement will be only from proceeds of the Obligation, if and when an issuance occurs, and is not a general obligation of the City. Adoption of the resolution does mandate issuance of an Obligation or an actual reimbursement to occur.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact. The action authorizes the City to incur costs associated with Measure Q eligible projects using the General Fund advances to the Measure Q fund, subject to budget approval.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:

The action is not a project subject to CEQA. City Council’s action is not considered a “Project” per CEQA Guidelines and therefore no further environmental analysis is required.

RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a Resolution Declaring Intention to Reimburse Expenditures from the Proceeds of Certain Obligations and Directing Certain Actions

ALTERNATIVES:

1. Defer adoption to a future date.

2. Direct staff to advance the bond sale to mid-2025 which would not require a General Fund advance to the Measure Q Fund.

1 RESOLUTION NO. 2025 - __

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN BRUNO DECLARING

INTENTION TO REIMBURSE EXPENDITURES FROM THE PROCEEDS OF CERTAIN

OBLIGATIONS AND DIRECTING CERTAIN ACTIONS
WHEREAS, the City of San Bruno (the “City”) proposes to undertake the project referenced below, to issue, or cause the issuance of, a long term repayment obligation for such project and to use a portion of the proceeds of such obligation to reimburse expenditures made for the project prior to the issuance of the obligation; WHEREAS, United States Income Tax Regulations section 1.150-2 provides generally that proceeds of tax-exempt debt are not deemed to be expended when such proceeds are used for reimbursement of expenditures made prior to the date of issuance of such obligation unless certain procedures are followed, one of which is a requirement that (with certain exceptions), prior to the payment of any such expenditure, the issuer declare an intention to reimburse such expenditure; and
WHEREAS, it is in the public interest and for the public benefit that the City declares its official intent to reimburse the expenditures referenced herein.

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of San Bruno, California, as follows:

1. The City intends to issue, or cause the issuance of, obligations (the “Obligations”) for the purpose of financing the costs of design and construction of street, storm drain and fire station capital improvements within the City and incidental expenses related thereto (the “Project”).

2. The City hereby declares that it reasonably expects (i) to pay certain costs of the Project prior to the date of issuance of the Obligations and (ii) to use a portion of the proceeds of the Obligations for reimbursement of expenditures for the Project that are paid before the date of issuance of the Obligations.

3. The principal amount of the Obligations is estimated to be between $17,500,000 and $20,000,000.

CITY OF SAN BRUNO
DATE: March 25, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Alex D. McIntyre, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Ari Delay, Fire Chief
SUBJECT: Consider Adoption of a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Accept FEMA Pre-Disaster Mitigation Grant No. LPDM-PJ-09-2023-003 and to Negotiate and Execute a Memorandum of Understanding with the City of Belmont to Administer the Grant
BACKGROUND:

The City's proximity to lands classified as moderate, high, and very high fire severity zones, along with our various open spaces and undeveloped areas close to residential homes, significantly increases wildfire risk. Past wildfires in the Bay Area, including the 1991 Oakland Hills fire and the 2020 CZU Lightning Complex fire in San Mateo and Santa Cruz Counties, have highlighted this risk, with over 197,482 acres burned and 5,385 structures destroyed, emphasizing the potential threat to our area.

To protect the community, the City has initiated comprehensive wildfire mitigation efforts, including various annual mitigation projects. These projects are central to our efforts to keep the community safe and are selected through detailed risk assessments using tools like the No- Harm study conducted in 2019 to ensure efficient use of resources. In support of these efforts, the City of San Bruno seeks opportunities to maximize local dollars by creating partnerships and seeking grant opportunities such as FEMAs Pre-Disaster Mitigation Grant program.

DISCUSSION:

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) provides Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM) grants to support communities in preparing for and reducing risks from natural disasters. The City of San Bruno, in collaboration with the City of Belmont, has been awarded a FEMA Pre- Disaster Mitigation Grant No. LPDM-PJ-09-2023-003 in the amount of $660,150 with $372,575 (less a $75,000 match) designated to the City of Belmont and $287,575 (less a $90,900 match) designated to the City of San Bruno to fund wildfire mitigation. This grant aims to enhance the City’s current wildfire mitigation efforts and our ability to prevent and respond to potential disasters by strengthening infrastructure.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This grant awards $287,575 to the City of San Bruno and requires a $90,900 local match of in- kind work and/or City funds for a net federal grant to the City of $196,675. The local match will be provided using existing staff time and current funding in the community wildfire mitigation CIP. No additional funding is requested through this action. 18 of 305

CITY OF SAN BRUNO
DATE: March 25, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Alex D. McIntyre, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Travis M. Karlen, Community Services Director Tim Wallace, Community Services Superintendent
SUBJECT: Consider Adoption of a Resolution Honoring Robert “Bob” Marshall, Sr. as the 2025 Recipient of the Recognition of Extraordinary Service Award BACKGROUND:

The City of San Bruno Service Recognition Program was established by the City Council to honor individuals or groups who have made significant and sustained contributions to the community. The program features two award levels:
 Special Service Recognition: Requires a minimum of 15 years of dedicated service.  Extraordinary Service Recognition: Requires a minimum of 25 years of dedicated service.

Both award categories recognize those who have positively impacted San Bruno through long- term service. Recipients are expected to be role models in the community, demonstrating their contributions through the creation of new programs, enhancement of existing services, or the development of City facilities.

Nominations are submitted by recognized San Bruno organizations, and the Service Recognition Committee evaluates the submissions. The Committee is composed of two commissioners each from the Culture and Arts, Parks and Recreation, and Planning commissions. Nominations require five affirmative votes from the Committee to be forwarded to the City Council for consideration, where a simple majority vote is needed for approval.

Approved nominees are traditionally honored with a plaque placed on the Unity Sculpture in City Park, unless an alternative location is authorized by the City Council.

DISCUSSION:

In July 2024, the Parks and Recreation Commission and Culture and Arts Commission selected two commissioners each to serve on the Service Recognition Committee. The Planning Commission selected two commissioners at its August 6, 2024, special meeting. The Committee members are:
 Rick Biasotti, Planning Commissioner
 Pamela Gamble, Culture and Arts Commissioner

Jeanne George, Culture and Arts Commissioner
Kris Gonzales, Parks and Recreation Commissioner
Auros Harman, Planning Commissioner
Jessica Martinucci, Parks and Recreation Commissioner
The Service Recognition Committee held its meeting on February 27, 2025, at the Recreation and Aquatic Center, where Kris Gonzales was re-elected Chair and Jessica Martinucci was re- elected as Vice-Chair.

The Committee reviewed the nominee for the Extraordinary Service Award: Robert “Bob” Marshall, Sr. (1934-2012), nominated by the San Bruno Rotary Club and the San Bruno Lions Club.

Bob Marshall, Sr.’s Service:
Founded Marshall Realty in San Bruno in 1959.
Served as member of the San Bruno City Council for 12 years before being elected Mayor of San Bruno from 1980 to 1991.
Remembered for focusing on senior services, culminating in the construction of the San Bruno Senior Center.
Served as mayor when Sister City relationship was established with Narita, Japan in 1990 and was instrumental in securing the agreement’s signing. President and District Governor of the San Bruno Lions Club. President of the North County Board of Realtors.
Longtime member of the San Bruno Chamber of Commerce.
Founding member of the Peninsula Bank of Commerce.

Stephen Marshall spoke on behalf of Bob Marshall, Sr.

After reviewing the nominee’s contributions and listening to public comment, the Committee unanimously voted (5-0) to recommend Robert “Bob” Marshall, Sr. for the Extraordinary Service Award.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Fiscal impact of this item is a cost for the recognition plaque of approximately $800. The existing operational budget for Community Services can absorb this expenditure.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:

The action is not a project subject to CEQA. City Council’s action is not considered a “Project” per CEQA Guidelines and therefore no further environmental analysis is required.

CITY OF SAN BRUNO
DATE: March 25, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor, Members of the City Council
FROM: Alex D. McIntyre, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Peter Gilli, Community Development Director SUBJECT: Consider Adoption of a Resolution Confirming the City Manager’s Authority for Agreements Related to Encroachments Onto City Property or Into the City’s Right-of-Way
BACKGROUND:

Encroachments into City’s right-of-way can be permitted through encroachment permits issued by the Public Works Department. These encroachments can be fairly common for changes to sidewalks, curb cuts and utility work, and can be above or below ground. One type of less- common, below-grade encroachment is for tiebacks, which are structural shoring devices for certain types of new construction. Tieback requests are reviewed by the Public Works Department to ensure the installation will not jeopardize existing or future City infrastructure, through minimum separation from utilities and collection of funds to cover removal of the tiebacks by the City in the future.

The City’s standard encroachment permit ordinarily requires the owner to remove all temporary encroachments. In the case of temporary shoring devices, however, an owner may request permission to permanently abandon the shoring devices in the City’s right-of-way to avoid the time and expense of removing them. The City requires an agreement to establish the terms under which this may occur.

The authority to enter into an agreement allowing an owner to permanently abandon shoring devices in the City’s right-of-way appears to fall within the City Manager’s authority to exercise general supervision the City’s property. For future projects, staff is requesting the City Council adopt a resolution confirming that the City Manager has the authority to enter into agreements establishing the terms and conditions under which encroachments may be permanently abandoned on City property or in the City’s right-of-way.

DISCUSSION:

Section 2.12.060 of the Municipal Code defines the powers and duties of the City Manager as the administrative head of the city government, responsible for efficient administration of the City. As relevant here, Section 2.12.060.K states the City Manager has the authority “To exercise general supervision of all property under the jurisdiction and control of the city;” This appears to include the authority to establish the terms and conditions under which encroachments can be permanently abandoned in the City’s right-of-way. The proposed resolution provides the requested clarity.

8 Since development trends are for taller buildings with reduced setbacks, and since multi-family housing projects could request tiebacks in the future, requiring a City Council action to execute an agreement that appears to fall within staff’s authority could be categorized by the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) as the City adding an unnecessary step to the construction process for a housing project. Staff considers this action to represent the City’s continued efforts to remove a potential governmental constraint to new housing, which furthers the City’s Housing Element goals in line with State law.

This requested clarification will promote a more efficient approval process for the City to execute the necessary agreement to abandon tiebacks in conjunction with the issuance of an encroachment permit. This resolution does not in any way mean that requests for tiebacks will be automatically approved, or even encouraged, when the Public Works Department determines that other viable alternatives are more appropriate, or if the situation does not adequately mitigate potential impacts to City infrastructure.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact for this action.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:

The action is not a project subject to CEQA, as the proposed City Council action is not considered a “Project” per CEQA Guidelines and therefore no further environmental analysis is required.

RECOMMENDATION:

Consider Adoption of a Resolution Confirming the City Manager’s Authority for Agreements Related to Encroachments Onto City Property or Into the City’s Right-of-Way.

Staff Report

City staff has developed Compensation Guidelines to document the City’s current compensation practices. These guidelines also reflect management’s aspirational goals and principles for studying employee compensation, encompassing both direct and indirect forms of compensation.

This marks the City’s first set of Compensation Guidelines, which will provide guiding principles for the Classification and Compensation Study initiative and the upcoming negotiations of all six Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) that represent most of the City’s workforce.

Historically, the City has not had formal compensation guidelines in place.

DISCUSSION:

The purpose and benefit of having Compensation Guidelines is to provide a structured approach to employee compensation, ensuring alignment with the City’s financial capacity, organizational values, and competitive labor market practices. The City intends to use these guidelines as an aspirational statement to guide future compensation decisions and workforce planning. These guiding principles can also be used to attract and retain talent within the workforce by demonstrating transparency and competitiveness in the market, ultimately providing additional appeal to potential candidates.

A formal compensation guideline will help establish a clear and consistent framework for how the City approaches total compensation to employees. By defining the City’s approach to compensation, employees and potential future employees will better understand the guiding principles behind these decisions.

Key benefits of implementing a compensation guideline include:
 Ensuring transparency and equal pay for equal work compensation practices  Enhancing the City’s ability to attract and retain qualified employees  Aligning compensation strategies with long-term financial planning and labor market trends

Item 7a.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council

Currently, the Guidelines are set to reflect the following guiding principles:
Total Compensation – Comprehensive value of direct and indirect forms of compensation including salary, benefits, professional development, and other incentives. Market Competitiveness – Consistent with the City’s budget and fiscal policies and to be benchmarked against comparable public-sector agencies in the Bay Area to remain competitive; with the ideal market position being at the 75th percentile of the labor market.
Salary Ranges – Establishing ranges internally across departments and benchmarking with the market.
Performance-based – Not automatic but rather based on performance. Salary Range Adjustments – Establishes equity and maintains transparency. Labor Market Comparators – Identify comparators: geographic proximity size, population, budget, etc.
Pay Equity – Conduct pay equity analysis to ensure equal pay for equal work. External data and review cycle – Utilize external data to align with the labor market and as part of the collective bargaining process.

Following this presentation of the Guidelines, City staff will initiate the RFP process to solicit bids to conduct a Total Compensation Survey in alignment with the Compensation Philosophy and in preparation for upcoming negotiations. Labor negotiations are expected to commence shortly after.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no immediate fiscal impact associated with the filing of this report regarding compen- sation guidelines. However, implementation within the classification and compensation study may require periodic salary benchmarking studies, potential adjustments to compensation structures, and strategic workforce planning. The guideline does not guarantee any impact on compensation, and all future adjustments would be part of regular negotiations brought forth to the City Council for formal approval.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:

There is no environmental impact. The action is not a project subject to CEQA. City Council’s action is not considered a “Project” per CEQA Guidelines and therefore no further environmental analysis is required.

RECOMMENDATION:

Receive and file report regarding City of San Bruno 2025 Compensation Guidelines.

ALTERNATIVES:

1. Direct staff to return to the City Council with revisions to the Compensation Guidelines.

CITY OF SAN BRUNO
DATE: March 25, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Alex D. McIntyre, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Nick Pegueros, Administrative Services Director & CFO SUBJECT: Consider Adoption of a Resolution Approving an Updated Publicly Available Pay Schedule Effective January 13, 2025 Pursuant to the Public Employees’ Retirement Law (PERL), Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act of 2013 (PEPRA), and Title 2 of the California Code of Regulations (CCR)
BACKGROUND:

On January 14, 2025, staff presented the 2025 Pay Schedule to the City Council for adoption, which incorporated previously authorized salary range increases effective the first pay period in January of 2025. The Pay Schedule took effect on January 13, 2025, and applied to the City’s represented employees.

Previously, and separately, City Council adopted the City’s first Unrepresented Compensation Plan (Plan) on July 9, 2024, which went into effect on September 1, 2024 as a pilot program.

The Unrepresented Compensation Plan bifurcated the former alignment of unrepresented positions to represented bargaining units.

DISCUSSION:
272 of 305
Item 7b.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
March 25, 2025

Page 2 of 3 ends

The Plan was adopted in July 2024 for a period of September 1, 2024 – June 30, 2026, Attachment 2. The Plan contains a listing of benefits provided to classifications designated under the Plan ranging from Assistant City Manager to Administrative Technician. While the Plan is designed to address benefits and not salaries, the designated classifications subject to the Plan did not receive a salary range increase as provided to all represented classifications in January 2025, with increases ranging from 3.0% to 4.5%.

The result of the represented classification salary increase has negatively impacted the differential and internal alignment between those classifications and classifications in the Plan.

To address the negative impacts, the recommendation is to provide a salary range increase effective retroactively to January 13, 2025. To determine it is recommended to use an objective measure of price changes. One of the most reliable measures is the Consumer Price Index (CPI-W) for the San Francisco Bay Area Region, published bimonthly by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The CPI-W is calculated by comparing two measurements taken at the same time one year apart. For budgetary planning purposes, the recommendation is to use the change in CPI-W from February to February. The salary range increases for January 2025 will be based on CPI-W rate measured from February 2023 to February 2024. That rate was 2.9%.

The updated Pay Schedule reflects this increase for the Plan classifications.

Staff recommends also considering aligning salary range increases with the fiscal year. This alignment will aid in the budgetary process, and more quickly incorporates the effects of inflation on buying power. The impact of this shift is to include a salary range increase effective the first pay period following July 1, 2025 for the fiscal year 2025-26 budget development process. The shift in timeframe will allow for future salary range increase considerations effective July, in lieu of the current practice by calendar year.

Using the same methodology for the January 13, 2025 salary range increases, the recommended July 14, 2025 increase is based on CPI-W for the San Francisco Bay Area Region as measured from February 2024 to February 2025, which equals 2.7%. A subsequent updated Pay Schedule will be presented to the City Council for approval as part of the budget process.

As stipulated in the Plan, employees classified as Unrep-1 and Unrep-2 are not automatically granted a pay adjustment upon range changes. Rather, the salary ranges are increased based on the recommendations listed above, and the actual pay increases are based on each individual’s performance. An individual employee may receive between 0% to 2.9%, assuming the employee is currently at the top of their range, aligning actual salary increases to implementation of the Plan’s goal to compensate based on performance. Employees classified as Unrep-3 are hourly employees and will receive the salary range increase automatically, according to their existing step.

The updated Pay Schedule also includes an update to the Deputy Building Official and Principal Planner classification salary ranges to correct for a clerical oversight when salary ranges increased in January 2025 for classifications in the Mid-Management Local 350 bargaining unit.

The adjusted salary range is $65.93-$80.90, reflecting the three percent (3%) increase provided under the Mid-Management Local 35o Memorandum of Understanding.

The City of San Bruno is a California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) contracted agency. The Pay Schedule, as presented, meets the eight (8) requirements for a publicly available pay schedule in order for it to be used to determine pay rates by CalPERS.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Plan’s proposed increase for fiscal year 2025 (2.9%) is estimated to cost $27,000 and for fiscal year 2026 (2.7%) is estimated at $62,700, respectively. The fiscal year 2026 increase will be incorporated into the personnel budget during the budget development process.

The Deputy Building Official and Planning Manager salary ranges include the negotiated salary increases were budgeted and do not have an additional fiscal impact.

Staff Report

CITY OF SAN BRUNO
DATE: March 25, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Alex D. McIntyre
PREPARED BY: Brian Adam, Assistant to the City Manager
SUBJECT: Consider the Creation of a City Council Ad-Hoc Sub-Committee to Meet with the San Bruno Community Foundation Board of Directors Ad Hoc Committee on Strategic Planning on a Legacy Project
BACKGROUND:

The San Bruno Community Foundation (SBCF) was created by the City Council in 2013 to administer the $70 million received from PG&E in restitution funds following the 2010 gas pipeline explosion that impacted the Crestmoor neighborhood.

SBCF received these funds from the City in the spring of 2016, which were then organized into three investment accounts:

1. Quasi-Endowment Pool - funds used for capital appreciation and maintenance

2. Strategic Pool – funds earmarked for strategic grants, e.g. funding the Recreation and Aquatic Center (RAC)

3. Liquidity Pool - funds from the previous two accounts used to cover short term expenses and function as SBCF’s operational checking account To date, SBCF has disbursed:

Description Number awarded Total amount ($)
Crestmoor Scholarship 102 1,520,000
Community Grants Fund 221 2,647,500
Strategic Grants N/A 61,638,225
Total 65,805,725
SBCF is currently considering future spending plans for its remaining assets which may accelerate the winding down of the foundation.

DISCUSSION:

As noted in Attachment 1, the original plan for SBCF involved using the income from the Quasi- Endowment Pool to fund the Crestmoor Scholarships, community grants, and operating expenses. To continue granting funds in perpetuity, SBCF’s investment manager, Sand Hill 295 of 305
Item 7c.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
March 25, 2025

Page 2 of 3 ends

Global Advisors, LLC, forecasts yearly grants and scholarships will be less than 1 million dollars.

Because this would significantly lower the foundation’s yearly impact, SBCF is considering two other options for how to use remaining funds:

1.Option 1: Contribute all remaining assets (less $5 million for operational expenses and contingencies) to a legacy project, e.g. like the RAC, which can have a significant impact on residents and the community. This would ultimately lead to the end of the current iteration of the SBCF, but community members may ultimately create a new, unaffiliated 501(c)(3).

2.Option 2: Spend down remaining funds over the course of 10-25 years by maintaining current rate of disbursement of funds for scholarships and grants.

In line with the first option, SBCF would disburse remaining funds, less $5 million, to support a legacy project. For example, if total net assets are $24 million, $19 million would be earmarked for a legacy project(s). In the event that all grants related to the legacy project(s) and all other active grants have been paid out and the Foundation has not fully exhausted the reserved funds, the Foundation could increase the grant amount of one of the legacy project grants with the remaining funds.

On February 5, 2025, the SBCF Board of Directors created the Ad Hoc Committee on Strategic Planning to research and evaluate such potential program and investment strategies for use of the Foundation’s remaining assets, research potential legacy projects and engage with potential community partners, such as the City of San Bruno and the San Bruno Park School District, and make recommendations to the Board in the development of the Foundation’s post-RAC strategic plan. The Committee consists of SBCF Board of Directors President Malissa Netane- Jones, Vice President Jim Ruane, and Secretary Raul Gomez, to help guide the Board in its strategic planning deliberations. The SBCF requested that the City collaborate in identifying a potential legacy project as noted in their Option 1 scenario for the future of the foundation.

SBCF has expressed support for contributing to a new Fire Station 52 or a new library/information resource center as examples of potential legacy projects on which the City can collaborate and co-fund.

The SBCF Board has expressed interest in considering contributing to a new Fire Station 52; as that station serves the Crestmoor neighborhood, such a project could be a full-circle project and a fitting final investment for the Foundation. Based on feedback received in our 2015 and 2021 Community Listening Campaigns, the Board also sees the potential impact of using the remaining funds to support a new library/information resource center/community center. Thus, the Board would like to discuss with the City Council those project ideas and any other capital projects the City is contemplating that might be a good fit for the Foundation. If the City collaborates with SBCF, it may allow the City and foundation to develop a legacy project that simultaneously alleviates capital budget challenges and benefit the community.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:

The action is not a project subject to CEQA. City Council’s action is not considered a “Project” per CEQA Guidelines and therefore no further environmental analysis is required.

RECOMMENDATION:

Create a City Council Ad-Hoc Sub-Committee to meet with the San Bruno Community Foundation Board of Directors Ad Hoc Committee on Strategic Planning on a Legacy Project ALTERNATIVES:

1. No committee option – SBCF may then:
a. proceed with Option 2 and disburse scholarships and community grants until the remaining funds are exhausted. The City may still apply for grants to support other, smaller projects.
b. proceed with Option 1 and identify another partner, e.g. the Parkside School District, and contribute to other legacy projects and there are fewer or no community grants. c. disburse a reduced amount, increasing the longevity of the foundation but reducing potential community grants.

2. Delay planning of a legacy project to the next Fiscal Year, which may limit the amount of funds available to support a potential project.

3. Work with SBCF to expedite the dissolution of the foundation and transfer of funds to an independent 501(c)(3).

4. Authorize the disbursement of significant capital to extend the longevity of the San Bruno Community Foundation.
