The Winter Closure concept, used by several other local agencies, is structured as a partnership between the City and employees. Employees receive an uninterrupted week of paid time off through a combination of ten (10) hours of City-provided Winter Closure Paid Time Off (Winter Closure PTO) and the use of fourteen (14) hours from the employees’ accrued leave balances, while the City benefits from improved employee work-life balance and a reduction in paid leave liabilities.
The attached Side Letter Agreements (SLAs) for the three non-public safety units continue the Winter Closure Pilot Program for 2025. Under the pilot, non-emergency public services close from Christmas Day and reopen on the business day following New Year’s Day, with the only material change for 2025 being the observance of Christmas Eve on Friday, December 26, as stipulated in the applicable Memoranda of Understanding.
Because the three public safety bargaining units (Teamsters Local 856 Police, Fire, and Public Safety Mid Management) must maintain 24/7 emergency response coverage, staff recommends providing eligible members of these units ten (10) hours of straight-time pay, in addition to their regular pay, in lieu of Winter Closure PTO in the pay period in which the winter closure occurs.
This approach provides an equivalent benefit for public safety personnel within their operational constraints and requires City Council approval, but not a separate tentative agreement.
UNION and SBMEA leadership executed the SLAs on November 25, 2026, and the SLAs now require City Council ratification to take effect. The pilot program does not change benefits for unrepresented staff because the Unrepresented Compensation Plan already includes a Winter Closure provision, and neither the SLAs nor the Unrepresented Compensation Plan extend winter closure benefits to the City Manager.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total estimated cost for implementation of the recommended SLAs is approximately $180,000, which includes the one-time issuance of (10) hours of straight time pay during the pilot closure of non-public safety offices between the Christmas and New Year holidays, as presented. Employees will use fourteen (14) hours of their accrued leave balances which is a proactive management of accrued leave balance payouts and reflects a best financial management and wellness practice. The savings resulting from the reduced leave payout is not recognized in calculation of the SLA‘s total cost.
The City Council adopted fiscal year 2025-26 budget has a contingency budget which includes allowance for wage changes for a new MOU with the UNION. The SLA is within the contingency and salary savings. There are no ongoing costs anticipated with this action, as future considerations would require a meet and confer process with the impacted units.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
The action is not a project subject to CEQA.

DATE: December 9, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Mayor Rico E. Medina
PREPARED BY: Trisha Ortiz, City Attorney
Jennifer Dianos, Assistant Administrative Services Director SUBJECT: Consider Adoption of a Resolution Approving the Fifth Amendment to the Employment Agreement Between the City of San Bruno and Alex D.
McIntyre
BACKGROUND:
The City of San Bruno and Alex D. McIntyre entered into an employment agreement for city manager services on July 1, 2023. This employment agreement contains the salary, benefits, terms and conditions of Mr. McIntyre’s employment with the City. Last year at this time, the City Council approved an amendment to the employment agreement to provide the City Manager the benefit of the winter closure pilot program for the 2024 winter season.
DISCUSSION
:
The proposed resolution approves a fifth amendment to the city manager’s employment agreement to provide the benefit of the winter closure pilot program for the 2025 winter season by giving an additional 10 hours of straight time pay during the 2025 winter season. The winter closure consists of non-public safety office closures between the observed Christmas and New Year holidays. The City Manager would use 14 hours of his accrued leave for the balance of the winter closure to receive his full, regularly scheduled hours of pay during that period.
The proposed amendment is subject to approval by City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total one-time cost of the contract amendment is $1,695. The City Manager’s use of 14 hours of accrued leave reduces the City's liability to pay those accrued hours at a future date.
The amendment is within the budgeted contingency and salary savings for fiscal year 2025-26.
There are no ongoing costs anticipated with this action, as future considerations would require additional action by the City Council.
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. 379 of 486 Item 7r.

FIFTH AMENDMENT TO
CITY MANAGER EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN
THE CITY OF SAN BRUNO AND ALEX D. MCINTYRE
This Fifth Amendment (“Amendment”) to Employment Agreement by and between the City of San Bruno, a California municipal corporation, and Alex D. McIntyre, an individual, is made as of and entered into as of December 9, 2025 (the “Effective Date”).
RECITALS

McIntyre, an individual (“Manager”), as amended by the which the parties amended by the First Amendment as of January 9, 2024, by the Second Amendment as of July 1, 2024, by the Third Amendment as of December 1, 2024, and by the Fourth Amendment as of July 1, 2025 (together, the “Agreement”), the City employs Manager as City Manager.

City Council Agenda Item
Staff Report
CITY OF SAN BRUNO
DATE: December 9, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Alex D. McIntyre, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Jason Jimenez, Senior Administrative Analyst SUBJECT: Consider Adoption of a Resolution Approving Publicly Available Pay Schedule Effective January 1, 2026, Pursuant to California State Minimum Wage Law Effective January 1, 2026
BACKGROUND:
Under California Labor Code section 1182.12, the State minimum wage is adjusted annually based on inflation, subject to a cap of 3.5 percent. Effective January 1, 2025, the statewide minimum wage increased to $16.50 per hour for all employers. On August 1, 2025, the California Director of Finance certified that the statewide minimum wage will increase from $16.50 to $16.90 per hour effective January 1, 2026. Several of the City’s part-time hourly classifications currently have minimum steps of $16.50 per hour and must be adjusted to at least $16.90 per hour to meet the 2026 State minimum. Adoption of the updated pay schedule will bring these classifications into compliance with the new State minimum wage and ensure the City’s continued compliance with CalPERS reporting requirements. This action does not change the number of authorized positions or modify any existing memoranda of understanding.
DISCUSSION:
Staff reviewed the City’s current salary schedule and identified a group of part- time/temporary/seasonal classifications where the lowest step is presently $16.50 per hour. The classification series affected by the minimum wage order include:
Special Assistant
Library Page
Recreation Leader I
Lifeguard/Swim Instructor I
To ensure compliance, staff proposes to update the Pay Schedule to reflect the following changes:
Increase the minimum step for identified part-time classifications from $16.50 to $16.90 per hour effective January 1, 2026.
Maintains the existing step structure (e.g., steps 1–5) while adjusting the affected minimum step so that no step in the range falls below the State minimum wage. 385 of 486 Item 7s.
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
December 9, 2025
Continues alignment with CalPERS requirements for a single, City Council–approved, publicly available pay schedule as required by Public Employees’ Retirement Law (PERL), the Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act of 2013 (PEPRA), and Title 2 of the California Code of Regulations (CCR).
The revised salary schedule will supersede all prior pay schedules and will be posted on the City’s website and made available to CalPERS and members of the public. Staff will continue to monitor future minimum wage adjustments and any applicable local minimum wage ordinances to ensure that the City’s salary schedule remains compliant.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The financial impact of this action is limited to the increased hourly rate for certain part-time positions. Previously wage changes were incorporated in the approved operating budget for Part-time/Temporary/Seasonal positions.
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:
Consider Adoption of a Resolution Approving the Revised City of San Bruno Publicly Available Pay Schedule Effective January 1, 2026.

City Council Agenda Item
Staff Report
CITY OF SAN BRUNO
DATE: December 9, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Alex D. McIntyre, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Tim Wallace, Community Services Superintendent Travis M. Karlen, Community Services Director
SUBJECT: Consider Adoption of a Resolution Approving a Project at Centennial Plaza in Conjunction with the Property Owner at 474 San Mateo Avenue for the Installation of a Mural, Approving a Budget Adjustment from the Public Art Fund in the Not to Exceed Amount of $75,000, and Determining the Project is Exempt Under the California Environmental Quality Act
BACKGROUND:
Centennial Plaza was redeveloped over a two-year period and celebrated with a grand opening ceremony on October 25, 2024. Prior to its redevelopment, the site was a small square, which was closed to the public, and consisted of bark dust and a fountain.
The south wall of the building located at 474 San Mateo Avenue directly faces Centennial Plaza.
The City previously installed a five-panel freestanding mural titled A Dreamer’s Song in 2008.
The mural was well-received by residents and visitors alike. However, it was not designed to be a permanent installation and gradually deteriorated over time. As part of the Centennial Plaza renovation, the mural was removed in 2024, with the intent of creating of new art feature on the south wall of 474 San Mateo Avenue.
The revitalization of Centennial Plaza transformed the area into a welcoming public gathering space designed to enhance downtown San Bruno. The project introduced a public stage, new landscaping, lighting, seating, decorative paving, and opportunities for public art to create an inviting civic focal point at the heart of the community.
In preparation for the Plaza’s reopening, the City refurbished the south wall of 474 San Mateo Avenue, which forms a highly visible backdrop to the Plaza. The wall was painted a solid white to provide a clean appearance and to lay the groundwork for a future mural that would further enrich the space and highlight San Bruno’s artistic identity.
DISCUSSION
:
The owner of 474 San Mateo Avenue, Vikash Sharma, has expressed support for the installation of a mural on the south wall of his property, which directly faces Centennial Plaza.
City staff are seeking approval from the City Council to move forward with a Call to Artists to solicit proposals from qualified muralists to perform the work. 399 of 486 Item 7t.
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
December 9, 2025
Artists will be invited to submit design concepts based on their vision that best fits the characteristics of the space and San Bruno. An ad-hoc committee of the Commission, along with two art experts will review and score the submissions. A public survey will be conducted to provide feedback on the 10 highest scoring submissions. The Culture and Arts Commission will review the top 10 submissions, taking into account the public survey, and recommend a final design for City Council approval.
As stated in the Mural Program adopted by City Council on October 14, 2025, by establishing easements with private property owners for the purpose of installing murals, the City will own any murals installed on private property, thereby safeguarding the long-term preservation and maintenance of the artwork.
This collaboration between the City and property owner represents the next step in enhancing Centennial Plaza. The addition of a mural will bring color, creativity, and civic pride to the downtown area, supporting the City’s broader goals for public art and placemaking.
City staff will return to the City Council in early 2026 with the Artist Agreement, as well as the Right of Entry and Easement Agreements with the property owner, for consideration and authorization to proceed with project implementation.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Fiscal Impact associated with this item is a requested budget adjustment not to exceed $75,000 from the Public Art Fund. An Artist Agreement with defined costs will be presented to the City Council as part of the mural approval resolution brought forth to the City Council in early spring for consideration.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
The action is not a project subject to CEQA.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a resolution approving a project at Centennial Plaza in conjunction with the property owner at 474 San Mateo Avenue for the installation of a mural, approving a budget adjustment from the Public Art Fund in the not to exceed amount of $75,000, and determining the project is exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act

Staff Report
CITY OF SAN BRUNO
DATE: December 9, 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: Hold Public Hearing and Consider Adoption of a Resolution Amending the Master Fee Schedule Effective January 1, 2026
BACKGROUND:
On April 8, 2025, the City Council adopted a User Fee and Cost Recovery Policy (Resolution No. 2025-30) to set targets for cost recovery of City services. On April 22, 2025, Council approved Resolution No. 2025-34, updating most City fees to account for increased operating costs and effective July 1, 2025. Since then, staff identified several necessary updates: changes to existing fees, new or deleted fees, and clerical corrections. The recommended updates are detailed in the Attachment and summarized below.
DISCUSSION
:
Staff recommends that City Council consider adoption of the following Master Fee Schedule changes, provided in Exhibit A to Attachment 1, with an effective date of January 1, 2026.
1. Community Development, Chapter 3
a. Minor Administrative Architectural Review (AR) Permit (New Fee) Establish an appropriate fee for the lowest level of architectural review so as not to discourage modest property improvements. This fee was calculated by taking the next higher AR permit category reducing the cost recovery from 50% to 25%.
2. Community Services, Chapter 9
a. Indoor Rentals (Fee clarification)
Off-Peak rates were formally added to eliminate confusion created when these rates were previously referenced only as “discounts.” Because off-peak pricing functions as an alternate reduced rate, not a discount. It is now listed as a standalone fee. This allows staff to correctly apply discounts such as the residency discount and improves transparency and ensures consistent application of fees. The new Off-Peak rates reflect the following reductions, which were previously listed under the Discounts section of the adopted Master Fee Schedule:
i. 20% reduction: Community Centers, Senior Center, and Library rooms ii. 30% reduction: RAC Community Hall, Conference Room, Small Classroom, and Classrooms 1 & 2
iii. 10% reduction: RAC Gymnasium and Group Exercise Room 402 of 486
Item 8a.
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
December 9, 2025
b. Outdoor Rentals (New Fee)
Additional fee categories were added for the Rotary Pavilion to account for potential revenue loss when nearby rental spaces (picnic areas and Diamond 3) must be blocked off to preserve the renter experience. Activity in these adjacent areas can significantly impact Pavilion events, especially weddings. These updates support the City’s goal of fully hosting wedding experiences at the RAC, such as a Pavilion ceremony followed by a Community Hall reception.
c. Athletic Fields & Tennis Courts (Update)
Sports field lighting fees were corrected to reflect appropriate light usage across the various fields. A duplication error was corrected where Diamond 2 had been listed twice with different fees.
d. Memorials (New Fee)
Benches - Fees were updated to reflect full cost recovery associated with the revised Tributes and Memorials policy.
e. RAC Membership – Corporate Membership Fees (New Fee) Corporate membership fees were added in response to interest from local businesses seeking employee wellness benefits. The listed fees incorporate a substantial discount to encourage participation, acknowledging that not all enrolled employees will use the facility at the same rate. The goal is to create a competitive and marketable membership option that expands RAC participation and supports local employers.
f. Recreation Program Fees (New Fees)
i. Seasonal Camps and Summer Camps: City-run camp fees were added after being omitted in the previous schedule due to the temporary suspension of the program during RAC construction.
ii. Social Connection Program: A fee range was added to allow flexibility for special program days, such as field trips where a higher fee may be needed to meet cost recovery.
g. Senior Center Fees (New Fees & Updates)
i. Senior Center Member Discount for Classes: A fee range was added to provide flexibility based on the full cost of each class. ii. Senior Center Specialty Classes: The fee range was expanded to support higher-quality programs with higher cost recovery.
iii. Senior Transportation: Description updated to clarify participant eligibility. iv. Senior Meals: Description updated to clarify participant eligibility. h. Miscellaneous Fees and Discounts (Update)
Removed the monthly membership discount and added the Promotional Waiver of the Initiation Fee. This is the appropriate discount for this section. i. Discounts / Deposits / Cancellation and Other Fees
i. Off-Peak: Description removed due to its relocation and clarification in Section I.
ii. Deposits (Refundable): Deposit amounts added for several RAC rooms previously omitted from the Master Fee Schedule.
iii. Removed Item: “All rentals up to $400” removed to align with the updated deposit structure.
3. Fire, Chapter 5
a. Driving Under the Influence (DUI) Emergency Response Fee (Delete Duplicate Fee) The Driving Under the Influence (DUI) Emergency Response Fee is currently listed twice—on page 20 under Fire and on page 24 under Police. In most cities, the Police
403 of 486
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
December 9, 2025
Department is responsible for administering the DUI Emergency Response fee. Our Police Department is working with Clear Source to gather the necessary data for this fee.
b. Underground Fire Line Permit (New Fee) - A fee for the Underground Fire Service Permit is required to offset the Fire Department’s cost of providing mandated plan review and inspection services. The California Fire Code, along with NFPA 24 and related standards, requires that all private fire mains, underground piping, and associated components undergo detailed design review, on-site inspection, flushing, and hydrostatic testing prior to being placed into service. These activities ensure adequate fire flow, system integrity, and long-term public safety. The permit fee reflects the personnel time, specialized equipment, and administrative processing necessary to carry out these legally required functions. The fee is calculated based on three hours of work required per permit: 1 hour of plan review and 2 inspections by Fire Prevention staff.
c. Fire Watch conducted by Fire Department Staff (New Fee)- A Fire Watch fee is required to recover the City’s costs when Fire Department personnel must provide on-site monitoring due to an impaired or out-of-service fire protection system. The California Fire Code authorizes the Fire Department to require a fire watch when life- safety systems are compromised. The fee reflects the personnel time, resources, and documentation necessary to ensure occupant safety until systems are restored.
The fee dependent on the duration of service and the fully burdened rate of the staff assigned.
d. Schedule of Penalties for Administrative Fines (New Fees) - A Schedule of Penalties for Administrative Fines is necessary to establish clear, consistent enforcement tools for Fire Department violations. California Government Code § 53069.4 authorizes local agencies to impose administrative fines and penalties for municipal code violations, including fire and life-safety requirements. The penalty amounts were calculated in accordance with the limits established by state law—typically up to $100 for a first violation, $200 for a second violation within one year, and $500 for each additional violation, with higher amounts permitted for issues involving health, safety, or building-code hazards. Establishing a defined penalty schedule ensures transparency, supports compliance, and allows the Fire Department to address violations promptly and proportionately.
4. Public Works, Chapter 8
a. Parking Space Restriction (New Fee) – Need to include cost recovery for metered spaces related to Downtown Paid Parking Program. The amounts were calculated based on FY2024-25 meter and citation revenue, broken down per space, Commercial Zone Parking Space Restriction per space per day for metered spaces as follows:
i. On-street: $11.76
ii. Off-street: $3.43
b. Restrictions on Encroachment (New Fee) – A pavement degradation fee is proposed for cuts made into newly paved roads under moratorium. This fee helps protect the City’s investment and encourages better coordination to minimize pavement impacts.
The fee was calculated by taking the averages for the most recent rehabilitation projects.
c. Paid Parking Program (Update) - The paid parking fees were modified by the City Council to update the program hours and to pass through credit card convenience fees for Off-Street Parking of 1 hour.

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council

PREPARED BY: Lupita Huerta, City Clerk
SUBJECT: Consider Appointments to Fill Upcoming Vacancies on the San Bruno Community Foundation
BACKGROUND:
San Bruno Community Foundation:
The San Bruno Community Foundation is the nonprofit organization created by the City of San Bruno to administer the $70 million in restitution funds received from PG&E after the devastating 2010 gas pipeline explosion in San Bruno’s Crestmoor neighborhood. The Foundation’s mission is to serve the San Bruno community by investing in projects, programs, services, and facilities that have significant and lasting benefits. Through making grants, leveraging partnerships, and taking advantage of other resources, the Foundation assists and enables the community to maximize shared investments and realize their subsequent enhancements and benefits.
The Foundation is governed by a seven-member Board of Directors designated by the San Bruno City Council, per Article V, Section 5, of the Foundation’s Bylaws. Board terms are four years in length, and Board members may serve up to two consecutive terms. At the end of 2025, four current Board members will conclude their first terms on the Board. The San Bruno City Council will appoint four individuals to serve full terms beginning on January 1, 2026 and concluding on December 31, 2025.
As the governing body for the City of San Bruno, the San Bruno City Council appoints members to CBCs (Commissions, Boards & Committees). Expiring members who wish to be reappointed to serve another term are invited to submit a new application for possible reappointment to the committee, board, or commission that they currently serve. Additionally, when positions on CBCs become vacant from time to time, the City Clerk’s Office notifies the City Council of the vacancy and administers a new recruitment for the vacant position(s).
At present, there will be four vacant positions on the San Bruno Community Foundation.

CITY OF SAN BRUNO
DATE: December 9, 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 Formation of a 2026 Ballot Measure Ad Hoc Subcommittee BACKGROUND:
The City Council's Fiscal Year 2024-25 Strategic Initiatives included an exploration of a revenue measure to enhance the City's fiscal sustainability. In 2023, Mayor Medina appointed councilmembers Salazar and Hamilton to serve on a 2024 Ballot Measure Ad Hoc Subcommittee to examine various revenue measures and report their findings. Based on the subcommittee's recommendations, the Council adopted the necessary actions to place a General Obligation Bond ballot measure, Measure Q, on the 2024 ballot.
Measure Q authorized the issuance of $102 million in General Obligation Bonds restricted to capital infrastructure projects such as storm drains, pavement, and fire stations. Measure Q passed in November 2024 with 73.09% of ballots cast. The passage of Measure Q has enabled the City to significantly expand its paving program to levels previously unattainable and establish a funding mechanism to build a new Fire Station No. 52 and major storm drain improvements.
DISCUSSION:
While Measure Q supplies crucial infrastructure funding, the City’s finances necessitate continuous operating revenue to sustain public safety services, parks and recreation, and annual maintenance of streets and storm drains. Staff recommends that the City Council establish a 2026 Ballot Measure Ad Hoc Committee to investigate potential revenue options to support general operations. This Committee will dissolve once it presents its final recommendations to the City Council for consideration on a 2026 ballot measure.
Similar to the 2024 Ballot Measure Ad Hoc Committee, staff will provide assistance in conducting research, analysis, and coordination to enable the Committee to deliver its recommendation to the Council by early Spring.
Under State Law (Brown Act), fewer members than a quorum of the full City Council can form an “ad hoc” committee to review and discuss City business. As relevant here, Section 54952 (b) of the Brown Act provides:
“A commission, committee, board, or other body of a local agency, whether permanent or temporary, decisionmaking or advisory, created by charter, ordinance, resolution, or 434 of 486

formal action of a legislative body. However, advisory committees, composed solely of the members of the legislative body that are less than a quorum of the legislative body are not legislative bodies, except that standing committees of a legislative body, irrespective of their composition, which have a continuing subject matter jurisdiction, or a meeting schedule fixed by charter, ordinance, resolution, or formal action of a legislative body are legislative bodies for purposes of this chapter.” In sum, the City may establish an ad hoc committee, which is not a standing committee and not subject to the Brown Act, so long as it: (i) is comprised of less than a quorum of the City Council, (ii) has a temporary purpose, and (iii) does not have a meeting schedule fixed by a formal action of the Commission.
The recommended action here is to establish a 2026 Ballot Measure Ad Hoc Committee to investigate potential revenue options to support general operations.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
The action is not a project subject to CEQA.
RECOMMENDATION:
Appoint two Council members to serve on a 2026 Ballot Measure Ad Hoc Committee.

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Alex D. McIntyre, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Matthew Lethin, Police Chief
SUBJECT: Receive Annual Military Equipment Use Report, Review the Military Equipment Use Ordinance, and Adopt a Resolution Renewing the Military Equipment Use Ordinance Number 1909
BACKGROUND:
AB 481 (attached) requires a law enforcement agency to obtain the approval of its governing body, through the adoption of a Military Equipment Use Policy, by ordinance at a regular meeting held pursuant to specified open meeting laws, prior to taking certain actions relating to the funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment, as defined. The bill allows the governing body to approve the funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment within its jurisdiction only if it determines that the military equipment meets specified standards.
AB 481 requires the governing body to annually review the ordinance and to either disapprove a renewal of the authorization for a type of military equipment or amend the military equipment use policy if it determines, based on an Annual Military Equipment Report prepared by the law enforcement agency, that the military equipment does not comply with the above-described standards for approval.
California Government Code Section 7070 provides a list of types of equipment that are to be considered “Military Equipment” for purposes of compliance with AB 481. While the San Bruno Police Department does not possess any tactical equipment that it has obtained from the military, nor does it possess any equipment that was designed for military use, it does possess some types of equipment that are listed in Section 7070. Additionally, the San Bruno Police Department participates in a regional S.W.A.T. team, the North County Regional SWAT team, which possesses and utilizes additional types of equipment that qualify as “Military Equipment” according to the Government Code.
On March 1, 2022, City Council approved the Military Equipment Use Policy by motion, and introduced the new Ordinance (Chapter 2.52) Regarding Police Department Acquisition and Use of Military Equipment. On April 26, 2022, City Council approved the Military Equipment Use Ordinance No. 1909, as codified in Title 2, Chapter 2.52 of the San Bruno Municipal Code.
California Government Code Sections 7071 and 7072 require that City Council receive an Annual Military Equipment Use Report, review the report for compliance with the Military Equipment Use Ordinance, and vote on whether to renew the ordinance each year. 436 of 486
Item 9c.
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
December 9, 2025
DISCUSSION:
The Annual Military Equipment Use Report is attached to this Staff Report, and pursuant to AB 481, it includes the following:
A summary of how the equipment was used and the purpose of its use oAll uses were in compliance with this ordinance
A summary of any complaints or concerns received concerning the equipment oThere were none
The results of any internal audits, any information about violations of the Military Equipment Use Policy, and any actions taken in response oNothing to report
The total annual cost for each type of military equipment, including acquisition, personnel, training, transportation, maintenance, storage, upgrade, and other ongoing costs, and from what source funds will be provided for the military equipment in the calendar year following submission of the Annual Military Equipment Use Report oSee attached 2025 Annual Military Equipment Use Report The quantity possessed of each type of equipment
oSee attached 2025 Annual Military Equipment Use Report If the law enforcement agency intends to acquire additional equipment in the next year, the quantity sought for each type
oSee attached 2025 Annual Military Equipment Use Report It is important to note that during the reporting period there were no uses of equipment covered by this ordinance that were not compliant with the Military Equipment Use Ordinance and the Military Equipment Use Policy. The Police Department did not acquire any new military equipment during the reporting period.
In the coming year, the Department plans to acquire equipment subject to reporting under these guidelines. This equipment will consist of two (2) new Unmanned Aircraft Systems, and the reason for these acquisitions is that current devices are reaching end of life and need to be replaced. The Department also plans to acquire noise-flash diversionary devices, to be used in high-risk incidents, such as hostage-rescue and barricaded subject situations, allowing officers to reach safe resolutions to critical incidents. The Department does not have any plans to acquire any other new military equipment in the next calendar year.
AB 481 prescribes an annual process for reviewing the policy and renewing the ordinance.
Specifically, Government Code Section 7072 requires the Police Department to submit to the City Council an annual military equipment report, and to hold at least one “well-publicized and conveniently located community engagement meeting, at which the general public may discuss and ask questions regarding the annual military equipment report and the law enforcement agency’s funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment.” Then, to renew Ordinance No. 1909, Government Code Section 7071 requires the City Council to determine, based on the annual military equipment report submitted by the Police Department, whether each type of military equipment identified in that report has complied with the standards for approval. The City Council meeting on December 9, 2025, is intended to satisfy all of the requirements of AB 418, including the community engagement meeting on the report.

CHAPTER 406
An act to add Chapter 12.8 (commencing with Section 7070) to Division 7 of Title 1 of the Government Code, relating to military equipment. [Approved by Governor September 30, 2021. Filed with
Secretary of State September 30, 2021.]
legislative counsel’s digest
AB 481, Chiu. Law enforcement and state agencies: military equipment:
funding, acquisition, and use.
Existing law designates the Department of General Services as the agency for the State of California responsible for distribution of federal surplus personal property, excepting food commodities, and requires the department to, among other things, do all things necessary to the execution of its powers and duties as the state agency for the distribution of federal personal surplus property, excepting food commodities, in accordance with specified federal law. Existing law, the Federal Surplus Property Acquisition Law of 1945, authorizes a local agency, as defined, to acquire surplus federal property without regard to any law which requires posting of notices or advertising for bids, inviting or receiving bids, or delivery of purchases before payment, or which prevents the local agency from bidding on federal surplus property.
Existing federal law authorizes the Department of Defense to transfer surplus personal property, including arms and ammunition, to federal or state agencies for use in law enforcement activities, subject to specified conditions, at no cost to the acquiring agency.
This bill would require a law enforcement agency, defined to include specified entities, to obtain approval of the applicable governing body, by adoption of a military equipment use policy, as specified, by ordinance at a regular meeting held pursuant to specified open meeting laws, prior to taking certain actions relating to the funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment, as defined. The bill would also require similar approval for the continued use of military equipment acquired prior to January 1, 2022. The bill would allow the governing body to approve the funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment within its jurisdiction only if it determines that the military equipment meets specified standards. The bill would require the governing body to annually review the ordinance and to either disapprove a renewal of the authorization for a type, as defined, of military equipment or amend the military equipment use policy if it determines, based on an annual military equipment report prepared by the law enforcement agency, as provided, that the military equipment does not comply with the above-described standards for approval. The bill would specify these provisions do not preclude a county or local municipality from implementing 92 STATE OF CALIFORNIA

additional requirements and standards related to the purchase, use, and reporting of military equipment by local law enforcement agencies.
This bill would also require a state agency, as defined, to create a military equipment use policy before engaging in certain activities, publish the policy on the agenc y’s internet website, and pro vide a cop y of the polic y to the Governor or the Go vernor’s designee, as specified. The bill w ould also require a state agenc y that seeks to continue use of military equipment acquired prior to January 1, 2022, to create a military equipment use policy.
This bill would also include findings that the changes proposed by this bill address a matter of statewide concern rather than a municipal affair and, therefore, apply to all cities, including charter cities.
By adding to the duties of local officials with respect to the funding, acquisition, and use of military equipment, this bill w ould impose a state-mandated local program.
The California Constitution requires local agencies, for the purpose of ensuring public access to the meetings of public bodies and the writings of public officials and agencies, to comply with a statutory enactment that amends or enacts la ws relating to public records or open meetings and contains findings demonstrating that the enactment furthers the constitutional requirements relating to this purpose.
This bill would make legislative findings to that effect.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
SECTION 1. The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
(a) The acquisition of military equipment and its deplo yment in our communities adversely impacts the public’s safety and welf are, including increased risk of civilian deaths, significant risks to civil rights, civil liberties, and physical and psychological well-being, and incurment of significant financial costs. Military equipment is more frequently deplo yed in low-income Black and Brown communities, meaning the risks and impacts of police militarization are e xperienced most acutely in mar ginalized communities.
(b) The public has a right to know about any funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment by state or local go vernment officials, as well as a right to participate in an y government agency’s decision to fund, acquire, or use such equipment.
(c) Decisions regarding whether and how military equipment is funded, acquired, or used should give strong consideration to the public’s welfare, safety, civil rights, and ci vil liberties, and should be based on meaningful public input.
92 — 2 — Ch. 406
470 of 486
(d) Legally enforceable safe guards, including transparenc y, oversight, and accountability measures, must be in place to protect the public’s welfare, safety, civil rights, and civil liberties before military equipment is funded, acquired, or used.
(e) The lack of a public forum to discuss the acquisition of military equipment jeopardizes the relationship police ha ve with the community , which can be undermined when la w enforcement is seen as an occup ying force rather than a public safety service.

Pursuant to paragraph (7) of subdivision (b) of Section 3 of Article I of the California Constitution, the Legislature makes the following findings:
Requiring local agencies to hold public meetings prior to the acquisition of military equipment further e xposes that activity to public scrutin y and enhances public access to information concerning the conduct of the people’s business.
SEC. 4. No reimbursement is required by this act pursuant to Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution because the only costs that may be incurred by a local agenc y or school district under this act w ould 92 — 8 — Ch. 406

result from a legislative mandate that is within the scope of paragraph (7) of subdivision (b) of Section 3 of Article I of the California Constitution.
