Agenda, second session — San Bruno City Council, August 25, 2026 (part 2 of 2)

was to release the artist call with an adjustment to the maximum artist compensation from $75,000 to $65,000.

Commissioners Hanhan and Seymour were selected to serve on the jury panel. Commissioner Seymour recommended artist Martha Diaz as a juror. Additional jurors secured by staff included Donald Gensler, Art in Public Places Manager for the City of Sacramento, and Amber Evans, manager of the City of Emeryville’s Public Art Program.

The artist call was released on March 27, 2026, and closed on May 11, 2026. Of the 34 proposals received by the deadline, 18 were found to be complete according to the published submission requirements.

On June 3, 2026, the jury panel met to review and discuss the 18 complete proposals and present their scoring to determine the top 10 proposals that would advance to public review (Attachment 2).

The public survey was conducted June 8-July 4, 2026. Voting was hosted online through a Microsoft Forms survey on the City’s website. Staff promoted the voting opportunity through multiple channels in addition to the website including, Community Services newsletters, flyers posted at Community Services facilities, social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram, and outreach at various special events during the voting period. Attachment 3 illustrates the jury panel scoring results alongside the public voting results.

At the July 16, 2026, Culture and Arts Commission meeting, commissioners reviewed the jury panel’s scoring and the public survey results for the top 10 mural proposals. Additionally, mural artists Vincent Concepcion, Anne-Sophie Gaudet, and Mershon Menard spoke during public comment about their proposals.

Following deliberation, the commission voted to recommend that the City Council approve the proposed mural as presented in the application by artist Jesse Melanson entitled “Blooming Together”. The recommendation reflects the Commission's determination that the proposal is consistent with the City’s Mural Program as well as the published artist call and meets all necessary criteria for the installation of a mural at the chosen location facing Centennial Plaza.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Fiscal Impact of this item is an artist fee in the amount of $65,000. Any future maintenance costs, which are expected to be minor, would be addressed by the City in accordance with the terms of the easement and artist agreements.

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.

Concept Narrative
San Bruno Centennial Plaza Mural
JMEL Art | Jesse Melanson
Blooming Together envisions Centennial Plaza as an imaginative celebration of community, movement, creativity, and connection — transformed into a vibrant world where oversized native-inspired plant life, color, and human activity merge into one dynamic environment. Drawing inspiration from San Bruno’s role as both a connected urban hub and gateway to nature, the mural reﬂects the city’s energy, diversity, and sense of possibility through a bold geometric visual language.

The scene invites viewers into a whimsical landscape where community members move through and interact within a larger-than-life ﬂoral environment. Cyclists, hikers, musicians, dancers, and families represent the many ways people gather, explore, celebrate, and connect throughout San Bruno’s public spaces. The train and airplane subtly reference the city’s relationship to movement, transit, and regional connectivity, while the open plaza structure symbolizes gathering, performance, and shared cultural experiences.

Each vignette along the bottom of the proposal highlights a core theme embedded throughout the composition — including active transportation, play, exploration, connection, generosity, celebration, and growth. Together, these moments create a layered visual narrative that reﬂects Centennial Plaza not simply as a destination, but as a living social space where culture, nature, imagination, and community continuously intersect and evolve.

Through bold color, abstract geometry, and immersive scale, the mural aims to create an uplifting and memorable landmark that celebrates San Bruno’s identity while encouraging joy, curiosity, and human connection.

Artist Statement

San Bruno Centennial Plaza Mural

JMEL Art | Jesse Melanson

I am interested in this project because Centennial Plaza represents the type of public space I most enjoy creating for — a highly visible community gathering place centered around connection, movement, culture, and shared experience. My goal with public art is to create work that feels integrated into the identity and energy of a space while also encouraging curiosity, joy, and interaction from the people who experience it daily.

My approach to community and public art is rooted in site-speciﬁc storytelling. I draw inspiration from the surrounding environment, local culture, architecture, ecology, and the ways people naturally move through and use a space. Rather than applying the same visual solution to every wall, I aim to create artwork that responds uniquely to each location and reﬂects the character of the community it belongs to.

My work is known for its bold geometric style, vibrant color palettes, and large-scale immersive compositions. I primarily work with artist-grade MTN 94 aerosol paints and exterior mural paints, often combining geometric abstraction with recognizable environmental and cultural elements. My process typically includes research, conversations and listening, concept development, revisions informed by community feedback, digital rendering, surface preparation, large-scale mural execution, and protective clear coating systems including MuralShield and anti-graﬃti coatings for long-term durability and maintenance.

I work independently as the lead artist and oversee all aspects of design, project coordination, and mural execution. Depending on ﬁnalized project scale, details and schedule, I may also work with a small support team assisting with production and installation.

Collaborative Experience Statement & Past Work
Throughout my career, I have collaborated with a wide range of municipalities, community organizations, developers, schools, architects and design professionals on large-scale mural and public art projects across the United States. My experience includes working with downtown development agencies, municipal arts and cultural organizations, redevelopment groups, public schools, colleges, private developers, and commercial property teams to create site-speciﬁc public artwork that reﬂects the identity and character of each location.

My role on these projects has always been as lead artist, overseeing concept development, community engagement, project coordination, design reﬁnement, surface preparation, material selection, mural execution, and ﬁnal protective coating application. Many of my projects are large-scale outdoor works requiring coordination around active public spaces, specialized safety measures, construction schedules, accessibility considerations, lift operations, and long-term durability planning.

My approach emphasizes communication, safety, adaptability, and creating artwork that responds directly to the surrounding architecture, environment, and community. I value collaboration as an essential part of the public art process and aim to create work that not only enhances a space visually, but also strengthens community identity and public space engagement.

Installation & Safety Plan

San Bruno Centennial Plaza Mural

JMEL Art | Jesse Melanson

The mural installation process would begin with basic surface preparation and primer application to ensure proper paint adhesion and long-term durability. My workﬂow typically includes site layout/grid application, large-scale color blocking, geometric detailing, reﬁnement, and ﬁnal protective clear coating application.

I primarily work with artist-grade MTN 94 aerosol paints and exterior mural paints, followed by protective coating systems including MuralShield and anti-graﬃti coatings for long-term protection and maintenance.

For elevated work, I prioritize lift operation over ladder use whenever possible — a philosophy I often describe as “lifts, not ladders” for improved safety, stability, and eﬃciency on large-scale projects. Depending on ﬁnal site conditions and wall height, equipment may include articulating boom lifts or scissor lifts. I am OSHA Safety Certiﬁed for Aerial and Scissor Lift operation and American Safety Council Certiﬁed for Aerial and Scissor Lifts.

Traﬃc and pedestrian safety are an important part of my installation process, particularly within active public spaces. Work zones are clearly deﬁned using cones, caution barriers, and visible work area boundaries to help maintain safe pedestrian circulation throughout the installation. I also wear high-visibility protective equipment and follow OSHA-compliant safety practices throughout the duration of the project.

Based on the available site imagery and project materials, the existing permanent structures and landscaping do not appear to present any signiﬁcant conﬂicts with the proposed mural installation process.

Maintenance Guide Outline

San Bruno Centennial Plaza Mural

JMEL Art | Jesse Melanson

Maintenance Guide Outline
The completed mural would be protected using a professional clear coating system including MuralShield and anti-graﬃti coating products intended to provide long-term UV and surface protection. Under normal conditions, the mural should require very minimal maintenance for many years.

Recommended Maintenance
• Gentle cleaning using low-pressure water and mild non-abrasive soap if necessary. • Avoid abrasive cleaning tools, harsh chemicals, pressure washing at close range, or solvent-based cleaners directly on the mural surface.
• Reapplication of the protective MuralShield coating is recommended approximately every 5 years to maintain optimal UV protection and long-term durability.

When properly maintained, the coating system is intended to signiﬁcantly extend the life of the mural and help preserve color vibrancy for decades.

Touch-Ups & Repairs
Minor touch-ups or repairs are not recommended to be performed directly by general city maintenance staﬀ, as matching aerosol color systems, geometric alignment, and coating compatibility require familiarity with the original materials and process. Original color references and paint information can be provided for archival purposes if requested.

If future repairs, vandalism removal, or maintenance become necessary, I would welcome the opportunity to be contracted directly to perform restoration work in order to maintain the integrity and visual consistency of the mural.

Future Maintenance Rates
• Estimated Artist Maintenance Rate: $100/hour
• Minimum Repair Visit Fee: $1,000 minimum
• Additional costs may include:
◦ Travel and lodging reimbursement
◦ Equipment/lift rental
◦ Material and coating replacement costs
◦ Assistant labor if required
Any future maintenance scope and pricing would be discussed collaboratively based on the extent of the repair and site conditions.

I was so excited to see a mural wanted in San Bruno! My husband was born and raised in San Bruno, and we are now raising our kids and have a business in here, so I want to be a part of making San Bruno inviting for all ages.

This mural is designed to bring fun colors and movement to San Bruno through a playful, graphic interpretation of the local landscape. Inspired by rolling hills, native California ﬂ owers, and the rhythm of the surrounding environment, the composition blends geometric shapes with organic forms to create something that feels both familiar and reimagined. A silhouetted airplane moves across the sky, subtly referencing the area’s connection to travel while adding motion and storytelling. The bright palette keeps the piece lively, warm, and inviting.

To add an extra layer of experience, select elements of the mural will glow in the dark, by using phosphorescent paint that glow naturally in the dark and illuminates under UV black lights. By adding this specialty paint into the design, it will subtly transform the piece at night. Flowing lines, parts of the landscape, and accents within the ﬂ owers will softly illuminate, creating a sense of surprise and discovery for viewers after sunset.

Overall, the goal is to create a mural that feels uplifting, a little unexpected, and rooted in a place I hold dear to my heart. I want to bring color and energy to the space while giving the community something fun to return to, both day and night.

I was genuinely excited to see a call for a mural in San Bruno. This project feels personal as my husband was born and raised here, and now we are raising our children and running a business in the community. I would love to contribute to making San Bruno more vibrant, welcoming, and engaging for people of all ages.

My approach to public art is rooted in accessibility and joy. I create murals that are bold from a distance and layered with details up close, inviting repeat engagement. With a background as an arts educator for 12 years, including nine years with the San Francisco Uniﬁ ed School District, I bring a strong understanding of how people experience movement, space, and creativity. Murals are a shared place where people pass through, gather, and connect.

I have experience across a range of site-speciﬁ c projects, from backyard and garage murals to public-facing work. I am currently designing and painting a mural for the Daly City Serramonte Library (approximately 120 in x 70 in), and have completed murals across San Francisco. I also volunteered on a large-scale project with international artist eL Seed, which deepened my experience working collaboratively at scale. Each project begins with studying the site to create a design that feels integrated and intentional.

My work blends graphic structure with organic forms inspired by local landscapes and plant life. I use high-quality exterior materials and incorporate both digital planning and on-site techniques. For this project, I will include glow-in-the-dark elements to create a subtle day- to-night transformation. Ultimately, my goal is to create murals that bring color, energy, and a sense of connection to the community.

Project Approach & Site Plan

My goal for this mural is to create a piece that feels integrated into the space while being durable, safe, and accessible to the public throughout installation.

Wall Preparation: 1-2 days

Before starting the mural, I will need to assess the wall, clean the surface, and apply a primer coat.

Sketching & Layout: 2-3 days

The design will be scaled onto the wall using projection, so we will need to arrange to work after sunset

Painting: 14-20 days

Working with a team, we will coordinate who is painting where making sure we take into account lift rental days. Glow in the dark paint will be applied to select features to create a subtle shift from day to night.

Final Coat & Clean-Up: 1-2 days

Once the mural is complete, a protective anti-graﬃ ti coating will be applied to preserve the work. All materials, equipment, and debris will be removed, and the site will be returned to a clean, safe condition.

Equipment

A projector will be used during the layout phase to accurately translate the design onto the wall. A scissor lift will be used for higher sections and broad coverage, while ladders and scaﬀolding will allow for more detailed work.

Traﬃc & Pedestrian Safety

The work area will be clearly marked with barricades and signage, and pedestrian ﬂ ow will be guided safely around the space. I’m mindful of working within active public areas and will plan the installation to minimize disruption as much as possible.

OSHA Compliance

We will be sure to follow OSHA guidelines by including proper use of protective gear, safe operation of equipment, and keeping a clean, organized worksite.

Mural Maintenance & Conservation Plan

This mural is designed for durability in an outdoor environment, using high-quality exterior paints and a protective anti-graﬃ ti coating. With proper care, the artwork will maintain its color and integrity for many years.

Cleaning Recommendations

Routine cleaning can be done using a soft cloth or sponge with mild soap and water. For areas coated with anti-graﬃ ti sealant, low-pressure washing may be used if needed. Harsh chemicals and abrasive tools should be avoided, as they may damage the painted surface or protective coating. Any graﬃ ti or marks should be removed promptly using products compatible with the anti-graﬃ ti layer.

Protective Coating Reapplication

To maintain protection, it is recommended that the anti-gra ﬃti coating be reapplied approximately every 3–5 years, depending on weather exposure and wear. High-contact or high-traﬃ c areas may require more frequent reapplication.

Color References for Touch-Ups

A record of paint colors, brands, and ﬁ nishes used in the mural will be provided to the City upon completion. This will allow for accurate touch-ups in the future and help maintain the integrity of the original color palette, including both standard and glow-in-the-dark elements.

Glow in the Dark Longevity

Over time, glow intensity may gradually decrease due to UV exposure and weathering.

Touch-ups may be required periodically to maintain brightness, particularly in high- exposure areas. Original paint speciﬁ cations will be provided to ensure accurate restoration.

Future Repairs & Artist Involvement

While the City will be responsible for ongoing maintenance, I would welcome the opportunity to be involved in any future repairs or restoration work to ensure consistency with the original design and intent.
• Hourly Rate: $100/hour
• Minimum Fee: 4-hour minimum per visit
• Materials & Equipment: Reimbursed as needed
• Travel: Local travel included; additional travel or accommodations (if required) to be covered by the City

ARTIST STATEMENT
I am VERY interested in being chosen to install a timeless, long lasting art piece that will speak with both art fans and San Bruno residents. Centennial Plaza park in lovely downtown San Bruno is a space that I’ve spent much time with family and friends while in the Peninsula.

My approach to Large-scale Public-murals is to use all my art skillsets to provide a professional artwork full of story and relevance to each site. Following historical and cultural story, each mural represents era’s, regional landscape & landmarks.

With over 30 YEARS OF COMMERCIAL DESIGN for a variety of industries and genres. I continue to challenge myself and always try to do my best work moving forward.

Today, I’ve personally installed FULL-COLOR, HAND-PAINTED murals in Sacramento, South lake Tahoe, Danville, Pleasanton, Hayward, Benicia, Crocket and Vallejo. More sites are in the works.

Mural process/Install; Typically each site will require ladders, scaﬀolding or a lift. Centennial Plaza appears to be a ladder and scaﬀolding solution.

I am the primary artist at work, capable of long hours and great focus.

I do have access to 2 additional staﬀ artists if needed. We have each worked together on previous projects with great success. -VincentB

Installation & Safety Plan
As the current condition of the wall is ready for painting, my installation process is as follows:

Masking all edges and ground coverings using high-quality mask tapes and clear coverings.

The image of the mural is transferred by freehand drawing the layout and ﬂow of the approved concept. Largest areas are painted ﬁrst working from the top to bottom, left to right so that ﬁnished areas are not disturbed by the continuous mural process.

Ladders and scaﬀolding will be required & I have the tools to reach all areas of this proposed mural including the highest point (15 ft).

Safety Plan
I maintain a valid Business Insurance policy with State Farm in Benicia CA, to protect the property and liabilities involved with mural installation. (Provided upon request)
I wear safety gear where applicable and conduct myself with professionalism with all parties involved. Including residents and pedestrians, building advocacy for the art installation while in process.

I have watched and remembered this city breathe for almost a hundred years.

I was told about the Ohlone people who first named these hills and creeks, who read this land like a language the rest of us are still learning. I was told about the Spanish road that wound through the peninsula, connecting mission to mission, leaving a path that would one day become the street we all call home.

I have seen the fields that fed San Francisco — the dairies, the flowers, the farms that rose from the soil of Rancho Buri Buri after the ranchos were divided and sold and divided again. I remember the fog that rolled in every morning over hills that smelled of milk and earth and blossoms, flowers so abundant they would one day fill the arms of every child in the city.

I grew up on stories of families who arrived with nothing after the earth shook in 1906 and built something that lasted. And on harder stories too — of Japanese American families taken from these same streets — neighbors, friends, gone overnight — a wound this city has carried quietly ever since.

I remember Tanforan. I remember the sound of hooves and the roar of crowds, the way this city dressed up and came alive on race days. I also remember what that same ground became — the silence of families arriving with their belongings, told to stay. The same soil that once thundered with Seabiscuit now held something heavier. Today people push shopping carts where all of that happened. I have never forgotten.

I was told about a pilot who took off from Tanforan in 1911 and landed on a ship in the Bay, changing what people believed was possible. I was told about mudflats becoming an airport. These were the stories of my city — a place that was always reaching upward, always becoming something larger than itself.

I have seen new families arrive from every direction. Filipino families who came to care for the sick and the elderly, who gave this city their hands and their hearts. Chinese families who found their footing on these streets. Latino families whose hands built and harvested and fed this city quietly and without recognition.

Each one brought a language, a meal, a way of celebrating, a way of grieving. Each one added their thread to ours. And now I watch the children of all of them run through the same parks, march down the same streets, fill this city with a joy that belongs to all of us. That is the part that makes everything worth remembering.

One thread runs through all of it.

I know because I have held it my whole life.
— Patty Lang, 1944 Posy Parade Princess
A thread, a hundred years.

Artist's Note: This statement is a piece of imaginative creativity, inspired by the perspective of Patty Lang and the historical context of San Bruno. The words and recollections shared here are not her personal experiences.

Artist Statement
I believe there is a red thread that guides us, stretching across time, space, and memory, connecting us through our shared histories and identities. This thread does not break; it tangles, adapts, and evolves, much like the people and communities whose stories it carries. I have dedicated my life's work to painting this connection for almost nine years, intertwining human narratives with urban spaces through large-scale murals that serve as cultural markers for dialogue.

San Bruno is a city that has never fully seen itself reflected on its own walls. This project is an opportunity to change that — to take one hundred years of layered, complicated, beautiful history and render it in a strikingly vibrant way that every resident, regardless of age or background, can recognize themselves in. What drew me most deeply to this project is Patty Lang, a footnote I read while reading the history of San Bruno — not as a singular subject but as a lens. A woman who has witnessed this city's entire transformation. Her story reflects the many experiences of San Bruno residents — the arrivals, the losses, the celebrations, the silences, and the quiet pride of belonging to a place that has survived everything thrown at it. The chance to honor that through public art felt urgent and necessary.

My work style is story-led, community-rooted, and research-driven. I approach murals like visual anthropology — I listen first, gather lived histories, and translate them into symbol-rich compositions rather than literal realism. My process begins long before a brush touches a wall. Through interviews, archival research, and sustained presence within the community, I gather the stories, memories, and voices that will ultimately shape the work. For San Bruno, this means going beyond documented history into the undocumented one — the stories passed down in kitchens, the memories held by elders, the experiences of communities whose contributions have never been formally recorded. The digital rendition presented here is a framework. The living community will fill it with its truth.

The process moves through four distinct phases. Research and Immersion involves archival research, community interviews, site visits and story gathering from San Bruno residents across all generations and backgrounds. Design Development follows, building a digital composition from research findings through community feedback sessions and iterative refinement with city stakeholders. Surface Preparation ensures the wall is power washed, cleaned, primed and sealed, with exterior grade primers applied to protect against heat and moisture. Finally, Execution transfers the composition to the wall using a doodle grid or projection method via Meta Quest, with high quality exterior latex and acrylic paints applied using a Graco Sprayer and finished with a UV resistant anti-graffiti clear coat to protect the work for decades.

This project is realized through a focused two-person team. The Lead Artist carries full responsibility for the overall vision, community immersion, design direction and final execution of the mural — from the first archival research session to the final brushstroke. Supporting the process is my Documentation T eam / Bay Area FPV who photographs and films every phase of the work, from community immersion through completion, producing a living record of the project for archival, educational and public engagement purposes. T ogether the team ensures that the mural is not only painted with integrity but preserved as a story in its own right — a document of how a community came to see itself on a wall.

Installation & Safety Plan
Wall Preparation & Site Protection
Before any painting begins, the wall surface will undergo power washing to eliminate dirt, debris, and existing residues. Once the surface is dry, delicate areas such as the roof lining and adjacent structures will be meticulously taped and masked to prevent paint contact. Established plants and landscaping at the wall's base will be shielded with protective plastic sheeting throughout the installation. A high-quality exterior-grade primer will then be applied to seal the surface, ensuring optimal paint adhesion and longevity in the Bay Area's coastal climate. The pergola columns will also be masked and protected during the process, and all protective coverings will be removed, restoring the site to its original condition upon project completion. The execution will involve transferring the composition to the wall using a doodle grid or projection method via Meta Quest, followed by the application of high-quality exterior latex and acrylic paints using a Graco Sprayer, finished with three coats of UV-resistant anti- graffiti clear coat (Mural Shield) to protect the artwork for decades. Mural Shield will be applied with a handheld compression sprayer.

Equipments
An articulated boom lift will provide flexible and precise access to all sections of the wall without encroaching on the plant boxes at the base. A 22-foot multi-use ladder will supplement the boom lift for detailed work requiring closer access. All equipment will be operated by certified personnel and inspected daily before use. Ground tarps will be laid beneath the work area to protect existing hardscape surfaces from paint overspray and drips. The artist carries full liability insurance covering all phases of the installation.

Traffic & Pedestrian Safety
The mural is located within an active public plaza. Safety cones, barriers, caution tape and signage will be placed to clearly delineate the work zone and maintain safe pedestrian pathways throughout the installation. No work area will obstruct emergency access points. The artist will adhere to designated working hours to minimize disruption to plaza activity.

OSHA Compliance
Personal protective equipment including gloves, safety glasses, respirators and non-slip footwear will be worn at all times. All equipment will be inspected daily in accordance with OSHA standards. A first aid kit will be kept on site throughout the duration of the project.

Maintenance Guide
Cleaning Methods
The mural surface is protected with a UV resistant anti-graffiti clear coat and should be cleaned every six months using a soft brush or low-pressure water rinse to remove surface dust, dirt, and environmental residue. In the event of graffiti or vandalism, a compatible graffiti removal solution should be applied immediately. Harsh chemical solvents, abrasive tools, and high-pressure power washing directly on the painted surface should be avoided at all times.

Coating Reapplication
The anti-graffiti clear coat should be inspected annually and reapplied every three to five years depending on UV exposure and surface wear. Reapplication should be performed by a qualified muralist or coatings professional to ensure compatibility with the original materials.

Color References
A complete color reference document including paint brands, product names, color codes and mixing formulas will be provided to the city upon acceptance of the finished mural and stored in the city's permanent records for future touch-up work.

Artist Maintenance & Repair
The artist strongly desires to be contracted for all future repairs and maintenance to preserve the mural's integrity and original vision. A proposed future maintenance budget of $10,000 is allocated for this purpose under the following terms:

Hourly Rate — $50 per hour
Minimum Fee — $500 per repair visit
Materials & Equipment — billed at cost and reimbursed by the city Travel & Accommodations — covered by the city for any repair requiring travel Scheduling — minimum two weeks notice required
The city assumes full responsibility for all mural maintenance following formal acceptance of the completed work. The artist remains available for consultation and encourages early contact at the first sign of deterioration to prevent minor issues from becoming significant restoration projects.

Anne-Sophie Gaudet - Concept Design
San Bruno Centennial Plaza Mural
Title of the mural: Celebration

Brief Concept Narrative:

This mural captures a moment of preparation, where two people help each other install a garland of lights in oak trees, transforming the space in anticipation of a shared celebration.

Their gesture reflects a simple but meaningful act of collaboration, where individual effort contributes to a collective experience.

Set within stylized oak branches, the composition is rooted in the natural landscape of San Bruno. The color palette is bright and harmonious, with touches of orange and blue inspired by the tables and chairs in the plaza, creating a visual connection between the mural and its surroundings.

The style is modern and simplified, using clean shapes and blocks of color while remaining figurative and accessible. A sense of movement and lightness flows through the piece, expressed in the rhythm of the branches and the lines of the garland. “Celebration” reflects the spirit of community, coming together, supporting one another, and creating joyful shared moments in a public space.

Anne-Sophie Gaudet
Centennial Plaza Mural
Artist Statement
I am a Bay Area muralist creating large-scale, nature-inspired artworks that celebrate community, place, and the beauty of the natural environment. As a local artist, I am especially interested in contributing to San Bruno’s public spaces and creating a mural that feels connected to the city’s identity and daily life.

My work is rooted in observation of the landscapes around me, trees, hills, and light, and I translate these elements into simplified, modern compositions using clean shapes and harmonious color palettes. I aim to create murals that are both visually striking and calming, bringing a sense of joy, movement, and balance to public environments.

For this project, my concept Celebration reflects the value of community through a simple, relatable moment: two people helping each other install a garland of lights in oak trees in preparation for a shared event. This gesture symbolizes collaboration, care, and the collective effort that brings people together. The composition integrates stylized oak branches inspired by the local landscape, and a bright palette with accents of orange and blue that echo the existing elements of Centennial Plaza, creating a strong connection to the site.

My approach to public art is to create work that is accessible, uplifting, and rooted in its environment. I consider how people will experience the mural from different perspectives and aim to create compositions that feel dynamic yet clear from a distance. I also value opportunities for community engagement and am open to incorporating feedback to ensure the mural resonates with the people who use the space.

My process begins with research and site observation, followed by digital sketches and color studies developed in close communication with stakeholders. Once the design is finalized, I prepare the surface with cleaning and priming, then execute the mural using high-quality exterior acrylic paints. The work is finished with UV-protective and anti-graffiti coatings to ensure long-term durability.

I have experience creating public murals for cities including Palo Alto, Mountain View, and Tustin, as well as large-scale projects in desert and urban environments. I have also participated in Mural Madness in San Mateo, and my work has been exhibited locally, including at Atelier for Healing in San Bruno and later at the Center for Creativity in Redwood City. I manage all aspects of production, from design to installation, and when needed, I work with assistants to support large areas of color application while maintaining overall quality and consistency.

Through my work, I aim to create meaningful visual experiences that reflect a sense of place and bring people together. This project is an opportunity to contribute a joyful, site-specific mural to San Bruno that celebrates connection, nature, and shared moments.

Installation & Safety Plan
Wall Preparation
Prior to painting, the wall will be thoroughly prepared, this includes pressure washing to remove dirt and debris. A high-quality exterior primer will then be applied to create a clean and stable painting surface.

Workflow & Timeline
The project will be completed over approximately 3 weeks, depending on weather conditions.

The process includes:
● Site setup and surface preparation
● Painting with high quality exterior acrylic paint (Nova Color) ● Application of UV-protective and anti-graffiti coatings from MuralColors.

Equipment & Access
A scissor lift or boom lift will be used to safely reach upper areas. Ladders may be used for lower sections. All equipment will be properly secured and operated in accordance with safety guidelines. Equipment placement will be coordinated to minimize disruption to the plaza.

Traffic & Pedestrian Safety
The mural site will remain active during installation, so maintaining safe public access is a priority. Clearly marked work zones will be established using cones, barricades, and caution tape. Signage will inform pedestrians of ongoing work. Pathways will be maintained whenever possible, and equipment will be positioned to allow safe circulation. Materials and tools will be organized and secured daily to prevent hazards.

OSHA Compliance & Safety Practices
All work will follow OSHA safety standards, including the use of appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, safety glasses, and high-visibility clothing when required. Lift operation will follow certified safety procedures. The work area will be kept clean and organized to reduce risks, and all materials will be handled and disposed of responsibly.

Site Considerations
The mural design and installation will respect existing permanent structures and landscaping within Centennial Plaza. Care will be taken to protect nearby elements such as seating, paving, and planted areas. Ground protection (tarps or coverings) will be used where necessary to prevent paint spills or damage.

Cleanup & Restoration
At the end of each workday, the site will be cleaned and secured. Upon project completion, all materials, equipment, and debris will be removed, and any accidental marks or spills will be fully addressed, leaving the site in clean condition.

Maintenance Guide Outline
This mural is designed for long-term durability using professional exterior materials and protective coatings. The following recommendations will help preserve its appearance and extend its lifespan.

Cleaning Recommendations
Routine cleaning should be gentle to avoid damaging the painted surface or protective coatings.
● Use soft cloths, sponges, or low-pressure water (garden hose or low PSI wash). ● Mild, non-abrasive soap may be used for general dirt or dust. ● Avoid high-pressure washing, harsh chemicals, or abrasive tools, as they may degrade the paint and coating layers.
● Graffiti or stains should be removed promptly using products compatible with the anti-graffiti coating applied to the mural.

Protective Coating & Reapplication
The mural will be sealed with a UV-protective and anti-graffiti coating to ensure longevity. ● It is recommended to reapply a protective coating every 5 years or as needed based on visible wear.
● Reapplication should be done by a professional familiar with mural conservation practices.

Color References for Future Touch-Ups
A record of all paint colors used (brand, color names, and/or custom mixes) will be provided to the City upon completion.
● Digital files and/or labeled samples can be supplied for accurate color matching. ● Due to natural weathering and UV exposure, slight color variation may occur over time; adjustments may be needed during touch-ups to ensure visual consistency.

Repairs & Touch-Ups
Minor touch-ups may be required over time due to environmental factors or accidental damage. ● It is recommended that repairs be performed by the original artist to maintain color accuracy, technique, and overall integrity of the design.

Artist Availability for Future Maintenance
The artist is available for future maintenance, repairs, or conservation work if desired by the City.

Artwork Title GOLDEN ENCOUNTER
This mural explores the idea that value is not given, but rather built through relationships. The composition presents a choral scene of diverse figures of different ages, ethnicities, and backgrounds who come together in a shared public space. Among the figures, gold nuggets are passed from hand to hand: a visual metaphor for what is created in the act of encountering one another: the idea that this precise moment, this precise place, is precious.

The composition is horizontal and fluid, designed to be read as a continuous narrative along the wall. There is no single protagonist. Groups of two, three, and four figures interact, share, listen, and observe, forming a constellation of encounters. A dedicated section shows children playing, representing the instinctive and spontaneous version of the same human need for connection that the adult figures express more consciously.

Each figure wears patterned garments inspired by diverse cultural traditions, that evoke the multicultural fabric of San Bruno without representing specific flags or symbols.

Centennial Plaza is a recently constructed public space, and this artwork celebrates that fact: the plaza itself is the physical manifestation of the conviction that people need places to meet. The gold nuggets are not abstract; they represent the result of coexistence in a shared space: a value that cannot exist in isolation.

The lower portion of the wall features flat fields of color (black and white) that serve as a compositional base, deliberately avoiding the area partially hidden by the planters at the base of the wall. The pergola and stage on the right side of the plaza are considered from different viewing angles: the figures on the far right are composed to be clearly visible from both the stage area and the street.

My name is Michelangelo Marra, I work under the name NSN997. I was born in the province of Naples in 1983 and have been based in Madrid since 2013. My practice is rooted in the belief that public space is the most democratic canvas available: it belongs to everyone, and it asks the artist to speak to everyone.

I am drawn to the Centennial Plaza project because it is not just a wall — it is a newly created civic space in the center of a diverse and growing community. San Bruno's population reflects the multilayered reality of contemporary California: multiple ethnicities, multiple generations, multiple languages. My work has always been about finding the visual language that speaks across those differences, not by erasing them, but by placing them in relationship with one another.

My current body of work, AURUM grows from a central question: where does value come from? My answer, developed across multiple murals in Europe and South America, is that value is relational. It cannot exist in isolation. The golden nuggets that appear in my compositions are a symbol of this: not wealth, but the thing that gets created when two people genuinely meet.

Centennial Plaza, as a public gathering space, is a physical embodiment of this principle.

Técnicamente, utilizo principalmente pintura en aerosol Montana MTN 94 para líneas y detalles, combinada con rodillo para grandes superficies de color. He realizado murales que cubren más de 13.000 pies cuadrados. Mi proceso es disciplinado y sistemático: transferencia del boceto a escala mediante cuadrícula, aplicación de la base, desarrollo de la figura, detalles y capas de patrones, y barniz mate resistente a los rayos UV. Trabajo con pulcritud y no dejo rastro alguno, salvo el propio mural.

Wall Assessment
The Mural Wall at 474 San Mateo Avenue presents a stucco exterior surface in good condition (no known faults per project documentation). The wall faces south, receiving full California sun — a factor addressed in material selection. Existing landscaping along the wall base (ornamental grasses and flowering shrubs) creates a natural ground line; the mural composition is designed to avoid the bottom 18-24 inches of the wall to maintain this relationship and ensure paint integrity at the plant/ wall interface.

Wall Preparation
Technical inspection of surface on Day 1 (arrival September 7, pre-start). Spot priming of any porous or uneven zones with exterior-grade acrylic primer (Sherwin-Williams Loxon or equivalent, widely available in California).

Design Transfer
Scaled digital design (produced in Adobe Illustrator at 1:20 scale) transferred to wall via grid system at dawn/dusk to minimize heat distortion.

Painting Sequence
• Days 1–2 : Material procurement, equipment setup, technical wall inspection and surface assessment.
• Days 3–4: prime, base coat application, Design trasfer (full wall). • Days 5–7: Large field color blocking — gold yellow and grey zones via roller • Days 8–10: Figure development and pattern work via Montana MTN 94 spray. • Day 11: Detail layer, gold nugget accents, refinement and touch-ups. • Day 12 (Sep 19): UV matte varnish application (full wall, roller). Completion and sign-off. • Days 13–16 : Weather contingency buffer — 4 days reserved for adverse climate conditions, unexpected surface issues, or extended drying times.

Equipment
Articulating boom lift (40-ft reach minimum) — rented locally in San Bruno/South Bay. Positioned on plaza pavement, not on landscaping.

Extension poles and rollers (various nap for stucco texture) for mid-range areas.

Montana MTN 94 spray cans for detail work, Ladders (6ft and 10ft) for lower section access.

Site & Safety
• Pedestrian barricades positioned at minimum 6-foot perimeter around active work zone. • Signage indicating active mural installation, artist contact information. • OSHA-compliant fall protection equipment for all elevated work. • All paint materials stored off-site (artist vehicle/rental van) — no on-site storage per project requirements.
• Drop cloths protecting plaza pavement and landscaping during spray operations. Full daily cleanup.
• Parking: budget includes daily parking fees (~$10/space) for artist vehicle and boom lift equipment.

Centennial Mural

226 of 336

For the Centennial Mural in San Bruno, we were inspired by artists and innovators who have consistently pushed culture and sound forward. Together, these inﬂuences guided us toward a story of progress, resilience, and forward motion.

That sense of progress is expressed through the ﬁgures in the mural. One looks ahead, symbolizing growth and the drive toward what’s next. The musician looks back, reﬂecting on how far the culture has come and acknowledging that this progress exists because of those who came before—standing on the shoulders of giants.

Rough Edge Collective does not use AI in any part of our design process, we hire our models, and source props. We would love to further develop this concept and design, have the opportunity to collaborate with models and continue to add depth to this proposal. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Letter of Interest
We are Rough Edge Collective: Maria-Jose (MJ) Lindo-Lawyer and Joshua Lawyer. Both of us were the art kids in school, obsessed with creating. We know ﬁrsthand how impactful public art can be. I (MJ) was born in Florida and moved frequently due to the civil war in Nicaragua, and my family eventually relocated to Toronto, Canada, where I was captivated by murals seen while riding the subway. Meanwhile, 2,600 miles away in East Palo Alto, Joshua was growing up immersed in a strong Tongan culture, rich in tradition. Although art was deeply woven into that culture, the idea of being an artist professionally was hard for his family to grasp. It was through the 1990s Bay Area street art scene—and seeing public spaces transformed—that Joshua found his life’s passion. We met in 2010 in a small gallery in San Francisco’s Mission District, fell in love, and the rest is history. For the next decade, we showed in galleries across the country, had work featured in Juxtapoz and American Art Collector, and exhibited at the de Young Museum.

Throughout our career, we’ve adapted to each project’s demands—from painting a 7,000-square-foot mural with Caltrans, to working with the DOT in Connecticut and collaborating with city municipalities, colleges, community organizations, and businesses. Regardless of project size, we work tirelessly to create designs that meet—and exceed— our clients' visions. We've never gone over budget and always meet installation deadlines. Our team has over 14 years of OSHA training, fall protection certiﬁcation, and licenses to operate machinery such as scissor and boom lifts. We've also served on emergency response teams and have our C- 33 contractors license for painting and decorative painting.

At Rough Edge Collective, we bring extensive experience in fostering meaningful connections between communities, schools, and youth through collaborative art initiatives. Our recent projects have involved working closely with college communities to create dynamic works that resonate deeply with their unique lived experiences. Through group discussions, immersive workshops, and even incorporating students as models in our murals, we ensure that every piece of art is a true reﬂection of the voices and stories of those involved.

Our process is entirely collaborative, blending our individual skills, insights, and experiences to form a uniﬁed creative vision. From initial concept sketches to crafting props and photographing models, every stage is approached with intention and teamwork. We hand-build or source all of our props, source onsite locations to stage our own reference photoshoots, and use those images as the foundation for hand-drawn designs, each element infused with care and connection. We do not use AI in any part of our design process.

Our team member Joshua Lawyer grew up in the San Bruno area, having spent many Polynesian dance events preforming in the area as a child. We would love the opportunity to develop our initial mural concept further represent the San Bruno community.

We believe we would be a strong ﬁt for the Centennial Plaza Mural, given our experience with the youth, collegiate communities and community centers. Over the years, our team has engaged with communities in a variety of meaningful ways, and we would welcome the opportunity to collaborate on developing an artistic concept together.

Warmly,
-MJ & Joshua

Portfolio

1. ‘ On These Grounds We Walk’ - “On These Grounds We Walk” is a reﬂection on the transformative space that NC State cultivates—particularly through its dedication to CHASS . At its core, this work speaks to the power of abstract thought as the foundation of our human capacity to create, explore, and uncover the unknown. While the impulse to transform our environment through discovery may be innate, it is only through the right tools and disciplines that we can unearth new worlds—worlds rich with freedom, stimulation, and a deeper sense of fulﬁllment. It was our goal to depict this journey of transformation. Located in Raliegh, North Carolina at Caldwell Lounge at NC State. 2025 $42,000 15 x 50 feet , Mural painted using several layers of exterior house paint, rollers and brushes.

Installation Plan

Once the design process is complete, we prioritize safety throughout the installation process. If the wall requires any preparation, that becomes our ﬁrst step to ensure the perfect surface for the mural. Because we use a hand-painted mural style, we carefully tape oﬀ all surrounding areas to protect them from paint and assess the location in advance for any potential lift access or site-related challenges.

From there, we project or grid the design onto the wall, and the painting begins. Throughout every stage of installation, safety remains our top priority.

Warmly,

Mural Maintenance Plan for a Mural Painted on Masonry

1. Initial Assessment and Documentation
• Date of Completion: June/July 2023 with mural extension added in March 2024 • Materials Used: Vandal guard and Kelly Moore Paint that has since closed but can be substituted for Sherwin Willaims and Nova Paint.

2. Cleaning and Touch-ups
• Surface Cleaning (Frequency: Annually or as needed):
o Dry Dusting: Use a soft-bristle brush or vacuum with a brush attachment to gently remove dust, spider webs, and loose debris from the surface of the mural.
o Wet Cleaning: If required, use a damp (not soaking) soft cloth or sponge with water and a mild, pH-neutral soap to wipe the surface. Avoid harsh chemicals that can damage the paint.
o Masonry Surface Cleaning: For masonry areas that aren't painted, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dirt and debris. If needed, apply a masonry cleaner suitable for the surface type.
• Spot Cleaning (As needed): If there are any small stains, use a gentle cleaning solution speciﬁcally designed for art and masonry. Test on an inconspicuous area ﬁrst to ensure it won’t cause damage to the paint.
• Touch-ups: If the mural shows signs of wear such as chipping or fading, consult Rough Edge Collective ﬁrst for daily rate, if unavailable hire a professional conservator to determine the best way to touch up or repaint sections. Use matching colors and appropriate paint for the surface.

3.Preventing Further Damage
o Repainting Sealer: If the mural was originally painted with a matte or gloss ﬁnish, check periodically to ensure the sealer is still intact and reapply if necessary.

245 of 336

• Vandalism Prevention:
o Protective Coating: Apply an anti-graffiti coating that makes it easier to remove graffiti without damaging the mural. These coatings often allow for the safe removal of spray paint or markers.
o Security Measures: If vandalism is a concern, consider installing security cameras or lighting to discourage damage.

4.Professional Assessment (Every 5- 10 Years)
• Consultation with Conservation Experts: Every few years, invite a mural conservator or art restoration professional to inspect the mural. They can provide an expert opinion on whether any major conservation or preservation work is needed and help address any advanced issues.

7. Emergency Maintenance Plan
• In Case of Damage (Vandalism, Natural Disasters, etc.):
o Immediate Actions: In the event of signiﬁcant damage (e.g., graffiti, severe weather, accidents), assess the extent of the damage and take photos for insurance purposes.
o Consult Professional Help: For major repairs or restoration, contact Rough Edge Collective ﬁrst for daily rate, if not available, contact an art conservator or professional muralist immediately.

Concept Design | Sketch
San Bruno Centennial Plaza Mural rymiestudio.com | @rymie “Familiar Energy”
Have you ever had a memory of a place you've never been? Not a real memory — something closer to a feeling. You hear a song, someone tells a story, and suddenly you know that room, that street, that crowd.

The energy is ingrained. Like flipping through a stranger's yearbook and feeling the weight of a summer you never lived.

This mural lives in that space. The scenes of music, kids playing, adults dancing, and gathering painted across Centennial Plaza are not documentary. They are felt. Abstracted, layered, painterly; drawn from the universal language of bodies in motion and sound moving through open air. Laughter on a playground.

Some of these moments can become more specific to San Bruno. Some just belong to everyone. The line between the two is exactly where this work lives.

Artist Statement
Lauren Rymer (Rymie) | | rymiestudio.com
I'm drawn to San Bruno's Centennial Plaza project because it represents something increasingly rare: a real town square. Not a metaphorical one, not a simulated one. An actual place where people gather, sit, listen, and exist together in the same physical space. That matters to me right now, not as a talking point but as a felt response to the world we're living in. Modernity has made us efficient and isolated in equal measure. The patterns of daily life include commuting, scrolling, binge watching, ordering in, logging on, tune out… our tech has dismantled the informal rituals of community that once held neighborhoods together. The town square used to be a given. Now it has to be intentional. So let's make this one stop you in your tracks.

I make public art because I believe a painted wall can change how people relate to a place.

I've seen it happen, in a hospital corridor in Richmond, on a sanitation truck in Queens, on a brewery wall in Oakland, on a city street corner during lockdown. When a space has a visual identity that reflects something true about the people who use it, they slow down. They look.

Sometimes they stay and have a conversation with a stranger.

My process starts with the place itself. Its geometry, its light, its existing elements and adjacencies. For Centennial Plaza I'm thinking first about the stage, the landscaping, the wide horizontal sweep of the wall, and how a person experiences it moving through the space versus standing still. I work in exterior paint on a range of surfaces and bring my own equipment, scaffolding, and projection tools to every job. I collaborate fluidly with facilities teams, city staff, and stakeholders. I've navigated multi-round approvals, tight installation windows, and institutional constraints without compromising the work.

I want to look back on my career and say the murals I painted helped people make sense of the challenges of their time. One of the biggest challenges of our time is finding our way back to each other. The investment in Centennial Plaza is already doing that work. I'd love to be part of it.

Installation & Safety Plan
Lauren Rymer (Rymie) | Centennial Plaza Mural | 474 San Mateo Avenue, San Bruno, CA Phase Workflow | Sept 8–28, 2026
• Phase 1 — Surface Prep (1 day): Pressure wash full wall surface, allow to dry completely. Tape off edges, windows, doors, and adjacent surfaces.
• Phase 2 — Prime (1-2 days): Apply Loxon masonry primer via airless sprayer across full 1,060 sq ft surface.

Tinted base coat applied to reduce paint coverage required. • Phase 3 — Design Transfer (1 night, ~4 hrs): Project final design onto primed wall using portable battery- powered projector. Grid method used as backup can happen on first paint day. Electrical access to be coordinated with City upon award.
• Phase 4 — Painting (14 days): Benjamin Moore Element Guard exterior paint, 6-color palette. Background to foreground, right to left. Painting assistant on site approximately 7 day. • Phase 5 — Refinement (2 days): Detail work, edge cleanup, and quality review. • Phase 6 — Seal (1–2 days): Full topcoat application of Mural Guard UV/anti-graffiti coating (Rainguard) via airless sprayer. Completion before September 30 deadline.

Equipment
• JLG 30–33 ft electric articulating boom lift (zero emissions): Positioned on plaza hardscape; articulating arm reaches over planted buffer zone along wall base without disturbing landscaping. Required approximately 5 days.
• Baker scaffold and 12 ft ladder: Used for mid-height sections and extended lateral runs, paint station away from pedestrians.
• Airless sprayer: Rental for prime and topcoat phases only. This isn’t a must have if the city prefers rolling primer that can be done but will require more time.
• Boom lift overnight storage: Option A — coordinate with adjacent private parking lot (lift needed approx. 1 week only). Option B — secure in plaza nightly, roped off and covered. • Electrical access (for boom lift charging): To be coordinated with City upon award. Plaza infrastructure assumed to support based on existing stage/amplification use.

Existing Site Conditions
• Landscaping runs approximately 3–4 ft along base of mural wall. Drop cloths will protect all plantings during priming, painting, and sealing. Equipment positioned on hardscape only. • Stage structure sits mid-plaza and partially interrupts sightline to right wall section depending on viewing angle — accounted for in design.
• Rear parking lot provides close vehicle access for supply transport and daily van parking.

Pedestrian Safety & Site Management
• Work zone clearly delineated with safety cones, barricades, and signage to guide pedestrians safely around active installation area.
• Supplies and materials consolidated using carts and work van — plaza stage may be utilized as a staging area if available and approved by City.
• Artist maintains awareness of scheduled plaza events throughout install period; work paused as needed during community programming.
• One Love Cafe (486 San Mateo Ave) utilized for water and restroom access during working hours or alternatively public restroom up the road..

OSHA Compliance
• All work conducted in compliance with OSHA standards for elevated work platforms and aerial lifts. Artist holds current general liability insurance (Rymie Studio / Next Insurance); City of San Bruno will be listed as additional insured.
• Artist responsible for all surface damage repair and site cleanup throughout installation period.

Maintenance Guide Outline
Lauren Rymer (Rymie) | Centennial Plaza Mural | 474 San Mateo Avenue, San Bruno, CA Protective Coating
The mural will be finished with Mural Guard by Rainguard a two-component, high-performance, zero-VOC, water- based aliphatic polyurethane varnish with IsoFree® Technology. Mural Guard provides long-term protection against UV exposure, harsh weather, corrosion, graffiti, and chemical and abrasion damage. It is environmentally safe and odorless upon application.
• Reapplication schedule: Inspect coating annually. Reapply Mural Guard topcoat every 5–7 years, or sooner if UV degradation, chalking, or loss of sheen is observed. Full recoat typically requires 1/2-1 day. • Surface prep for recoat: Clean wall thoroughly, allow to dry fully, lightly abrade if needed for adhesion, apply fresh two-component Mural Guard per manufacturer TDS.

Routine Cleaning
• General cleaning: Wash mural surface with mild soap and water using a soft brush or cloth. Rinse thoroughly. Avoid high-pressure washing directly on painted surface. • Frequency: Light cleaning recommended 1–2 times per year, or as needed following heavy weather events or community gatherings.

Graffiti Removal
• Once Mural Guard coating has fully cured, graffiti can be removed using VandlClean Super (Rainguard), acetone, lacquer thinner, or paint thinner. Apply per manufacturer TDS instructions. • Address graffiti promptly — early removal minimizes risk of damage to underlying paint layers. • If graffiti penetrates through the topcoat to the paint layer, contact artist for touch-up assessment before attempting removal.

Color References for Touch-Ups
• All paint colors used in this mural are Benjamin Moore Element Guard exterior paint. Exact color names and numbers will be provided to the City in a separate color reference document upon project completion. Any left over paint can also be provided if the city has a need/ want to store it. • Touch-up paint should be sourced from Benjamin Moore to ensure color and finish consistency. Artist recommends against substituting brands or finish types.

Artist Availability for Future Repairs & Maintenance
Lauren Rymer (Rymie) is available and willing to be contracted for future repairs, touch-ups, and maintenance assessments. The artist will conduct a complimentary check-in with the City every 6 months following mural completion to assess condition and identify any maintenance needs. • Hourly rate for repair work: $200/hr
• Minimum fee per repair visit: $400 (2-hour minimum)
• Materials and equipment: Reimbursed at cost in addition to hourly rate. • Travel: Artist is Bay Area based; no travel or lodging costs anticipated for this location. • Scheduling: Repair visits subject to artist availability; minimum 2 weeks advance notice requested for non- urgent work.

Concept Sketch
Concept Narrative
Title: Helping Hands
This design highlights how community driven e
This design highlights how community driven efforts are key to the preservation of nature and connection. The imagery of hands weave throughout the mural, highlighting the relationship between people and nature. Each scene brings focus to a plant or species native to the San Bruno area, and which is dependent on human collaboration for its survival. The colors in this mural tie into the existing tables and seats scattered throughout the plaza. Long bands of color stripes mirror the rectangular stones on the plaza floor. I really wanted to emphasize the surrounding beauty in the San Bruno region and play with colors to create a harmonious and uplifting tone. By highlight- ing nature I am setting a tone of harmon
ing nature I am setting a tone of harmony, stability and connection, all elements I believe are essential to creating peaceful spaces. Geo- metric shapes in the mural mirror the shapes of poppies, colors move back and forth creating a sense of continuity. I specifically highlight the Elfin butterfly, the Spotted Towhee, the California Quail, the California Poppy and Stone-crop flowers; all native to San Bruno moun- tain. This mural highlights the efforts that are being made to ensure the survival of these species habitat. The center of the mural dis- plays a young woman pondering a elfin butterfly. The San Bruno elfin is a U.S. federally listed endangered subspecies endemic to Cali fornia and is restricted to a few small populations, the largest of which occurs on San Bruno Mountain. You can see the Stone-crop flow- ers placed throughout the mural, in a large singular panel and behind the young girl. These flowers play a critical role to the butterfly as they provide food and safety for butterfly larvae and eggs. The hand on the right side of the mural holds a small bloom from the Lessingia germanorum, a rare species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae known by the common name San Francisco lessingia.

It is endemic to California, where it is known from four populations in the Presidio of San Francisco and one occurrence on San Bruno Mountain. It too is listed as a federally endangered species. The birds are but two of myriad birds local to the region. Their presence in the mural bring a sense of light and joy, and remind us of our duty to steward our surroundings to ensure the safety of ourselves and all creatures. My hope is that this mural inspires through its beauty and informs through its content.

Workflow Outline

The wall will be primed with basecoat acrylic white primer. Primer will be applied using cordless sprayer. The stucco surface of wall will require more paint than standard wall.

The artist will use Nova Color Paints as well as premium quality UV protected exterior paint. Paint will be applied using a cordless sprayer, rollers and brushes. All paints used will be properly stored away when not in use. All waste materials will be properly discarded.

Artist will require access to electrical outlets and mural site at night at the start of the mural for nighttime projection for approximately 2 days.

The installation of the mural is estimated to take a total of approximately 24 days. If there are extenuating weather circumstances, the timeline may need to be adjusted.

During installation, to avoid damaging existing landscaping an extending lift will be used where needed including hard hat and safety harnesses. While in use, artist will maintain OSHA safety compliance with all proper safety wear. The lift will remain parked to the side of the plaza out of the way of pedestrian traffic while not in use or where otherwise instructed by the city of San Bruno. During installation, the area will be marked with caution tape and cones to prevent pedestrian traffic from entering workspace.

The artist will be insured at all times during the installation of the mural.

Moveable rolling scaffolding will be used in areas that are free of shrubbery and allows access to wall. This will be used around the existing gazebo structure.

Once completed the mural will be varnished with UV protective Sheer-coat varnish. A total of 4 coats will be applied to ensure the longevity and quality of the product.

Action plan for ongoing maintenance of public art

• Annual Inspection of mural, to include light cleaning of mural, with removal of dirt, dust, and cobwebs.

• The artist would request the right of first refusal on all repairs.

In the event of such a case, the artist would require an hourly rate of $75 an hour along with any travel expenses, equipment rentals and material fees deemed necessary.

• The protective varnish layer should not require modification, but it is recommended that a coat of varnish be reapplied after 5 years to extend longevity.

In the case that the mural is damaged by graffiti, it is recommended that the graffiti be removed using the Sheer-coat Cleverclean. Both the varnish and the cleaning product can be found at Precita Eyes in San Francisco.

Product specs can be found at
https://www.precitaeyes.org/uploads/1/0/7/4/107469011/store- sheercoat.pdf

If Cleverclean is used, it is recommended that the cleaning is followed by a touch-up layer of Sheer-coat varnish.

City Council Agenda Item
Staff Report

CITY OF SAN BRUNO
DATE: August 25, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Alex D. McIntyre, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Matthew Lee, P.E., Public Works Director
Ana Morales, Management Analyst
SUBJECT: Consider Adoption of a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Services Agreement with Recology San Bruno for Illegal Dumping Collection Services on Caltrans-Owned Property in an Amount Not to Exceed $200,000 for a One-Year Term and Determining the Project is Exempt Under the California Environmental Quality Act BACKGROUND:

In Fiscal Year 2025-26, the City Council identified litter and illegal dumping as a priority and initiated the Clean-Up San Bruno Initiative (Initiative) as a coordinated, multi-departmental effort focused on abatement, prevention, enforcement, public education, and interagency coordination. The Initiative was created in response to recurring illegal dumping at City of San Bruno (City) and non-City-owned locations, including the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans)-owned property, where jurisdictional boundaries and access requirements oftentimes delay removal and create visible impacts to surrounding neighborhoods and commercial corridors.

The Initiative budget included dedicated funding for abatement services. As part of the Initiative, the City has worked with Caltrans and Recology San Bruno (Recology) to improve response at recurring locations on Caltrans-owned property.

The City and Recology are parties to an Amended and Restated Solid Waste Collection Services Agreement, effective January 1, 2023, as subsequently amended (Franchise Agreement). The Franchise Agreement requires Recology to provide an abandoned waste and illegal dumping program on City property and within City rights-of-way. It does not require Recology to provide those services on Caltrans-owned property. A separate agreement is therefore needed for the City to procure these additional services.

In November 2025, Caltrans issued the City an encroachment permit authorizing the removal and collection of garbage and debris from designated Caltrans-owned properties within San Bruno. Recology is identified as an authorized contractor under the permit. As the Initiative continues, the City will continue to comply with all applicable permit requirements and obtain any necessary extensions, renewals, or successor authorizations to ensure uninterrupted lawful access throughout the term of the proposed agreement.

DISCUSSION:

The proposed services agreement (Agreement) is a separate Initiative-funded agreement and does not amend the Franchise Agreement or expand the services funded through solid waste customer rates.

Proposed Services
The agreement establishes a dedicated and predictable service level for 13 designated Caltrans hotspots located along and near I-380, El Camino Real, Skyline Boulevard, the I-280 access roads, and the Crestmoor Drive overpass. Key service requirements include:
A single crew consisting of two workers and two vehicles, including one flatbed truck and one rear-loader.
Inspection of each designated hotspot once each workday, Monday through Friday, with reasonable good-faith efforts to remove observed abandoned waste by the end of the same day.
Response to complaints and reasonable good-faith efforts to remove qualifying abandoned waste by the end of the next workday.
Daily monitoring and documentation through the San Bruno Responds platform, including logging completed collections.
Transportation of collected material to the transfer station and lawful disposal.

The proposed services are intended to address readily accessible abandoned waste and bulky items commonly found at the designated locations, including mattresses, furniture, appliances, electronics, bagged trash, wood, and tires without rims. For operational and safety reasons, the Agreement excludes loose or windblown litter, shopping carts, encampment-related property, sharps, biohazardous waste, non-containerized liquids, and materials that cannot be safely handled by a two-person crew. Public Works and Caltrans will continue to coordinate the removal of excluded materials and address conditions outside Recology’s scope through the appropriate agency personnel or specialized contractors.

Compensation and Program Administration
The proposed pricing structure is designed to provide the City with a predictable base cost while allowing service levels to increase when site conditions require additional time or disposal capacity. The $675 minimum daily charge covers the standard deployment of a two-person crew and two vehicles for up to two hours, including disposal of the first ton of material. Additional crew time would be billed at $286 per hour, and disposal quantities exceeding one ton would be billed at $103 per ton. Recology would invoice the City monthly based on actual services provided, subject to a total agreement limit of $200,000 unless additional authorization is obtained.

Agreement Form and City Council Authorization
The proposed Agreement was negotiated specifically for this service arrangement and therefore does not use the City’s standard General Services Agreement form. It coordinates the new services with Recology’s existing Franchise Agreement by relying on the insurance coverage maintained under that agreement, while separately addressing authorization to perform work at the designated Caltrans-owned locations and allocating the associated responsibilities and risks. The Agreement also establishes the applicable compensation terms, termination rights, and indemnification obligations. The City Attorney’s Office has reviewed and approved the final Agreement as to form.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council

Page 3 of 3 ends

The City's current Award of Contract Policy requires advance City Council approval for agreements that do not conform to the City's standard form. The policy also establishes City Manager signing authority of $99,000, effective July 1, 2026. Because the Agreement uses a non-standard form and has a not-to-exceed amount of $200,000, City Council authorization is required.

Future Amendments and Other Non-City-Owned Properties
The Agreement allows Recology to provide the services at additional sites within the City upon the mutual written agreement of the parties. Before adding a site, the City will confirm lawful access and compliance with any applicable permitting and operational requirements. Any expansion of services will remain subject to available appropriations, the agreement’s authorized not-to-exceed amount, and the City’s financial policies. Any amendment that increases total compensation or otherwise exceeds delegated authority will be presented to the City Council for consideration.

The Agreement is limited to the authorized collection services and does not alter ownership of the covered properties or transfer Caltrans’ broader property maintenance responsibilities to the City. It provides a practical mechanism for the City to address visible and recurring illegal dumping where Caltrans has authorized access and where conditions directly affect the San Bruno community.

CONCLUSION:

The Agreement closes a service gap between the City's existing illegal dumping program and recurring conditions on Caltrans-owned property. It establishes defined routes, response expectations, documentation, and compensation while preserving the City's permit and legal access requirements. Authorizing the Agreement will support the Clean-Up San Bruno Initiative by improving the consistency and timeliness of illegal dumping removal at State-owned locations without shifting the cost to Recology ratepayers.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The proposed Agreement has a one-year term and a total not-to-exceed amount of $200,000.

Funding is available within the City Council-approved Clean-Up San Bruno Initiative budget for abatement services. Expenditures will be based on actual services performed.

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 Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Services Agreement with Recology San Bruno for Illegal Dumping Collection Services on Caltrans-Owned Property in an Amount Not to Exceed $200,000 for a One-Year Term and Determine the Project is Exempt Under the California Environmental Quality Act

City Council Agenda Item
Staff Report

CITY OF SAN BRUNO
DATE: August 25, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Alex D. McIntyre, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Matt Lethin, Police Chief
SUBJECT: Consider Introducing, Reading by Title Only, and Waiving Further Reading of an Ordinance Entitled “An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of San Bruno Amending Chapter 6.48 of the San Bruno Municipal Code Regarding Penalties for False Alarms”; Consider Adoption of a Resolution Establishing Administrative Penalties for Repeated False Alarms Pursuant to Chapter 6.48 of the San Bruno Municipal Code, and Adoption of a Resolution Authorizing the Police Chief to Execute a Non- Standard Agreement with PMAM Corporation for False Alarm Management and Billing Services
BACKGROUND:

The San Bruno Police Department responds to alarm calls throughout the community on a regular basis. While many alarm activations are legitimate, a significant number are determined to be false alarms caused by user error, equipment malfunction, improper maintenance, or other non-emergency factors. Repeated false alarms consume police resources, increase operational costs, and divert officers from legitimate calls for service.

The City's Municipal Code has addressed false alarms for more than two decades through Chapter 6.48, which currently authorizes the assessment of fees after repeated false alarms within a 180-day period. Those fees were originally established as cost recovery measures intended to reimburse the City for police responses while encouraging alarm users to properly maintain and operate their alarm systems. While the ordinance has provided a relatively effective framework for discouraging repeated false alarms, staff has identified opportunities to modernize the ordinance to improve clarity, strengthen enforcement tools, and better support long-term administration of the City's false alarm program.

Historically, the City administered false alarm billing internally. However, due to staffing shortages and operational capacity limitations, administration of the false alarm program gradually ceased, resulting in the City no longer recovering costs associated with repeated false alarm responses.

As part of the Police Department's continued efforts to improve operational efficiency and reduce unnecessary demands on police resources, staff evaluated options for restoring the City's false alarm program. Staff determined that updating the City's ordinance while contracting with a specialized third-party administrator represents the most effective and efficient approach. 283 of 336
Item 6a.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council

DISCUSSION:

Staff is requesting three complementary actions to restore and modernize the City's false alarm management program.

First, staff recommends introducing an ordinance amending Chapter 6.48 of the San Bruno Municipal Code. While the City's existing ordinance has provided a framework for addressing repeated false alarms for many years, staff and the City Attorney identified several opportunities to modernize and strengthen the ordinance.

The proposed ordinance adds clear definitions for key terms, establishes an affirmative responsibility for alarm users to properly maintain and operate alarm systems, and converts the City's false alarm assessment from a cost recovery fee to an administrative penalty. These revisions provide greater clarity, improve enforceability, and better align the ordinance with current legal standards.

The proposed ordinance also changes the evaluation period for repeated false alarms from 180 days to 365 days. Under the proposed ordinance, the City would consider the number of false alarms occurring at a location during the preceding 365-day period when determining whether an administrative penalty should be assessed. This approach provides alarm users additional time to identify and correct recurring issues while continuing to hold chronic offenders accountable for repeated false alarms.

Consistent with the City's educational approach, no administrative penalty would be imposed until a third false alarm occurs within the preceding 365-day period. Staff recommends establishing administrative penalties by separate resolution as follows:
Third false alarm within 365 days: $250
Fourth false alarm within 365 days: $500
Fifth and each subsequent false alarm within 365 days: $750 The proposed ordinance also declares three or more false alarms within a 365-day period to constitute a public nuisance. This provides the City with an additional enforcement tool for alarm systems that repeatedly generate unnecessary police responses and consume limited public safety resources.

Second, staff recommends adoption of a resolution establishing the administrative penalty schedule for repeated false alarms. Establishing penalties by resolution allows the City Council to adjust penalty amounts in the future without requiring amendments to the Municipal Code.

Third, staff recommends approval of a non-standard agreement with PMAM Corporation to administer the City's false alarm management program.

PMAM specializes in false alarm management services for local governments, including numerous jurisdictions throughout California and the Bay Area. Under the proposed agreement, PMAM would administer the City's false alarm program by maintaining alarm records, issuing warning notices and administrative penalties, processing payments, providing customer service, generating reports, and coordinating with the Police Department and Finance Department regarding program administration.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
August 25, 2026

Page 3 of 4 ends

The proposed agreement includes an initial three-year term with automatic annual renewals unless terminated by either party. Compensation is structured as a revenue-sharing model in which the City and PMAM each receive fifty percent of collected administrative penalties after allowable processing costs.

In developing the proposed ordinance and administrative penalty schedule, staff reviewed false alarm programs utilized by neighboring San Mateo County jurisdictions. The recommended approach is generally consistent with regional practices by emphasizing education before enforcement, assessing penalties only after repeated false alarms, and utilizing progressively increasing penalties designed to encourage corrective action while reducing unnecessary demands on police resources.

The primary purpose of the proposed program is to encourage compliance with the City's false alarm ordinance, improve accountability for repeated false alarms, and reduce unnecessary police responses. Based on an analysis of recent alarm response data, San Bruno police officers spend an average of approximately 11 minutes on scene for each alarm response. With approximately 1,100 alarm calls annually, officers devote an estimated 206 hours each year responding to alarm calls. Reducing unnecessary false alarms is expected to improve officer availability for higher-priority calls for service while any revenues generated through administrative penalties will partially offset program administration costs.

Together, the proposed ordinance, administrative penalty schedule, and agreement are expected to:
Improve accountability for alarm owners through consistent administration of the City's ordinance.
Encourage proper maintenance and operation of alarm systems. Reduce unnecessary police responses to false alarms.
Improve officer availability for higher-priority calls for service. Restore administration of the City's false alarm program without increasing City staffing. Establish a fair and consistent administrative process that emphasizes education before enforcement.

The proposed agreement is considered non-standard due to vendor-specific provisions related to software ownership, limitations on indemnification, termination provisions, and its revenue- sharing compensation structure. Accordingly, City Council authorization is required before the agreement may be executed.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The intent of the proposed ordinance is not to generate revenue, but to encourage alarm users to properly maintain and operate alarm systems, thereby reducing unnecessary police responses and improving the availability of officers to respond to emergencies and other community needs.

The proposed agreement does not require a direct General Fund appropriation. PMAM's compensation is based entirely upon revenues generated through the false alarm program.

Page 4 of 4 ends

Under the agreement, the City and PMAM will each receive fifty percent of collected administrative penalties after allowable processing costs and postage expenses.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:

The proposed action is not a project subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it does not have the potential to result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable physical change in the environment.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council:

1. Introduce, read by title only, and waive further reading of an Ordinance amending Chapter

6.48 of the San Bruno Municipal Code regarding false alarms;

2. Adopt a Resolution establishing administrative penalties for repeated false alarms;

3. Adopt a Resolution authorizing the Police Chief to execute a non-standard agreement with PMAM Corporation for false alarm management services.

ALTERNATIVES:

1. Decline to introduce the ordinance and/or approve the agreement.

The City would continue without an active false alarm management program, limiting its ability to discourage repeated false alarms, recover associated costs, and improve the efficient use of police resources.

2. Provide alternative policy direction.

Direct staff to revise the proposed ordinance, modify the proposed agreement, or return with alternative options for administering the City's false alarm program.

ATTACHMENTS:

1. Ordinance Amending Chapter 6.48 of the San Bruno Municipal Code Regarding False Alarms

2. Resolution Establishing Penalties for Repeated False Alarms per Chapter 6.48 of the San Bruno Municipal Code

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN BRUNO AMENDING CHAPTER 6.48 OF THE SAN BRUNO MUNICIPAL CODE REGARDING PENALTIES FOR

FALSE ALARMS
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN BRUNO DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. Section 6.48.010 (Fee determination) of Chapter 6.48 (False Alarms) of the San Bruno Municipal Code is amended and replaced in its entirety to read as follows:

Section 6.48.010 False alarms prohibited.

A. The city council finds and determines that responses to false alarms by the city can result in a significant expenditure of police department time and resources and increased costs to the public for law enforcement services. The council, therefore, finds that it is necessary and appropriate for the city to impose penalties for responses to false alarms on the persons responsible for such alarms.

B. Each alarm user has a duty to take all reasonable steps to prevent false alarms.

Reasonable steps are maintaining the alarm system in good working order, providing the necessary service to prevent malfunctions, and controlling use of the alarm system to activate only when there is evidence of a crime or other activity on the premises that warrants the assistance of the city’s police department on the premises.

C. An alarm user shall not have two or more false alarms within a three hundred- and sixty-five-day period. After the second false alarm from an alarm system during a three hundred- and sixty-five-day period, the police department may send a warning notice to the alarm user, which shall state the date and time of the second false alarm, and that subsequent false alarms occurring within the three hundred- and sixty-five-day period are subject to a false alarm fee pursuant to this section.

D. The false alarm fee is an administrative penalty for violating this section

6.48.010. The amount of the false alarm fee shall be established by resolution of the city council.

E. The following terms are defined for the purposes of this chapter as follows:
(i) “Alarm officer” means the officer or employee of the city or its police department, having responsibility for responding, or for causing the response, to an activated alarm system.
(ii) “Alarm user” means any person who purchases, leases, contracts for, or otherwise obtains and operates an alarm system or contracts for the servicing or maintenance of an alarm system at the alarm user’s premises. (iii) “False alarm” means the notification to the city’s police department concerning the activation of an alarm system when there is no evidence of a crime or other activity that warrants the assistance of the city’s police department on the premises, as indicated by the investigation of a police officer on the scene or by the lack of a police report filed by the occupant or property owner, and no individual who was on or near the premises or who viewed a video communication from, or live-monitored the premises called for the dispatch or confirmed a need for police response. “False alarm” shall not include an alarm for which the city’s police department personnel do not actually arrive at the 287 of 336 ATTACHMENT 1
2 3
9 2
3 alarm location, or any alarm caused by earthquakes, severe storms or other extraordinary circumstances determined by the alarm officer to be clearly beyond the control of the alarm user.

F. Pursuant to California Government Code Section 38771, the city council hereby declares three or more false alarms during a three hundred- and sixty-five-day period to be a nuisance.

SECTION 2.Section 6.48.0600 (Conduct) of Chapter 6.48 (False Alarms) of the San Bruno Municipal Code is amended to read as follows (deleted language shown with strike through and added language shown with underline):

At the date set for hearing, the city manager shall hear all competent testimony relating to the granting of the permit imposition of false alarm fees and may continue the hearing to a fixed date.

SECTION 3.Severability. If any provision, clause, sentence or paragraph of this chapter or the application thereof to any person or circumstances shall be held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect the other provisions of this chapter which can be given effect without the invalid provision or application, and to this end the provisions of this chapter are declared to be severable.

SECTION 4.Effective Date. This ordinance shall take effect at 12:01 am on the thirty-first day after its adoption.

SECTION 5.Publication. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this ordinance and shall cause this ordinance to be published according to law. __________________________________

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

Article 6
Termination of Agreement

6.1 Grounds for Termination

6.1.1 The City shall inform PM AM in writing, if PM AM fails to perform its duties under this Agreement with a ninety (90) days window to correct the problem. PM AM shall remedy the problem within ninety (90) days from the receipt of such notice. Should PM AM fail to remedy the problem within ninety (90) days, the City may terminate this Agreement.

6.1.2 In addition to any right of termination granted to the City pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.1.1 hereof, the City may terminate this Agreement without cause at any time after the first anniversary of t he Contract Implemen tation Date upon thirty (30) days written notice to PM AM, subject to its obligations set forth in Section 6.2 hereof.

6.1.3 In addition, the City may terminate this Agreement without cause at any time prior to the first anniversary of the Contract Implementation Date (i) upon thirty (30) days written notice to PM AM (ii) the payment of an early termination fee of $10,000, which fee PM AM may deduct and offset against the next monthly payment or payments due the City from the revenues collected by PM AM on behalf of the City hereunder as liquidated damages and not as a penalty. The parties acknowledge that the actual damages that PM AM would incur as a result of the early termination of this Agreement by the City without cause are uncertain and difficult to accurately estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict the number of future permit holders, the fees or fines charged by the City for violation o f its alarm ordinances, any other changes in the City’s alarm ordinances that could impact the revenues collected by PM AM hereunder on behalf of the City, and other relevant factors. Accordingly, the parties agree that the foregoing Termination Fee is a reasonable and appropriate estimate of actual damages and shall be deemed liquidated damages and not a penalty.

6.1.4 PM AM's Fee Schedule and pricing for any and all Services to be provided by PM AM to the City under this Agreement have been set, established and agreed to be based upon the current provisions of applicable City ordinances relating to alarms. Should said ordinances change at any time during the term of this Agreement to reduce or eliminate the applicable fee, fines and charges, such reduction or elimination shall be effective prospectively only and not retroactively so that the fee earned by PM AM for services provided prior to such modification of the alarm ordinance shall not be affected and the City shall not be entitled to any refund or credit arising from such modification of its alarm ordinance. In addition, if the change in the City ordinances relating to alarms would reduce or eliminate the fee, fines, and charges previously in effect, PM AM reserves the express right to enter into good faith negotiations with the City to modify the Fee Schedule and pricing accordingly. If, within thirty (30) days of notice from PM AM to the City of its desire to so renegotiate, the parties are unable to reach an agreement mutually acceptable to both parties, then PM AM reserves the right to terminate this Agreement. Said termination shall not be deemed to be a default by PM AM under this Agreement. PM AM shall be paid all fees and costs due and owing PM AM as of the date of said termination.

City Council Agenda Item
Staff Report

CITY OF SAN BRUNO
DATE: August 25, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Alex D. McIntyre, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Nick Pegueros, Administrative Services Director & CFO SUBJECT: Community Benefit Fund Update
BACKGROUND:

The purpose of this item is to provide the City Council with an update on the Community Benefit Fund as of June 30, 2026, including its funding sources, prior Council-directed uses, and remaining balance.

The Community Benefit Fund includes revenues received in connection with major development projects that are separate from the City’s standard development impact fee programs. Most notably, the fund received approximately $24.5 million in community benefit contributions under the YouTube Development Agreement and approximately $10.3 million under the Southline Transportation and Infrastructure Municipal Services Agreement. These revenues are distinct from development impact fees and are available for appropriation by the City Council, subject to the terms of the applicable agreements.

The YouTube/Bayhill campus expansion is the principal source of the fund’s historical activity.

As part of the initial phases of that project, the City received a single payment of approximately $55.0 million that included development impact fees, affordable housing impact fees, prepaid charges for future City services, and approximately $24.5 million designated for community benefits. Because these separate revenue categories were transmitted together, this report distinguishes the community benefit portion from revenues that are legally or administratively restricted to specific purposes.

DISCUSSION:

YouTube/Bayhill Payment Structure
The approximately $55.0 million YouTube/Bayhill payment was structured to advance several City objectives: mitigate development-related infrastructure impacts, support affordable housing, prepay certain City services, and provide community benefit resources for Council-directed priorities. The payment was deposited into the appropriate funds based on its underlying purpose, including citywide and Bayhill-specific impact fee funds, an affordable housing impact fee fund, the Community Benefit Fund, and a credits-on-hold account.

Of the total payment, approximately $24.5 million was deposited into the Community Benefit Fund. The remaining balance consisted of development impact fees, dedicated affordable housing impact fees, and prepaid service charges. These funds are governed by separate legal, 307 of 336 Item 7a.

accounting, and policy requirements and are not available for general community-benefit purposes.

contribution
Total YouTube Development Agreement
Payment $54,962,274
Development Impact Fees — $27.9 million
Approximately $27.9 million of the YouTube payment was allocated to the City’s citywide and Bayhill-specific development impact fee programs. These amounts include fees for utilities, public safety, general government, transportation, community facilities, the Bayhill Area Development Impact Fee program, and affordable housing.

Development impact fees are governed by the California Mitigation Fee Act and the City’s implementing ordinances. They may only be used for capital facilities and improvements identified in the applicable nexus studies that expand the City’s capacity to serve new development. Eligible uses may include new facilities or expansions to existing facilities; they do not include correcting existing deficiencies, ongoing operating costs, or General Fund support.

Accordingly, these revenues are maintained and reported separately in the applicable impact- fee funds. Their use is subject to the statutory nexus, accounting, reporting, and expenditure requirements applicable to development impact fees and is outside the scope of this Community Benefit Fund update.

Prepaid Charges for City Services — $2.6 million
The YouTube payment also included approximately $2.6 million in prepaid service charges recorded as credits on hold. These amounts represent advance payments for future City services associated with subsequent phases of the project, including building permits, inspections, planning review, plan check, and engineering services.

The credits function as a project-specific drawdown account. As the City provides services, the applicable charges will be applied against the available credit balance and recognized as revenue at that time. Until services are performed, the amounts remain unavailable for discretionary appropriation or other City purposes.

YouTube Community Benefit Contribution — $24.5 million
The Community Benefit Fund was established to generate benefits for the San Bruno community as a whole. The policy was based on value capture: where City land-use decisions provide additional private development opportunity and increase property value realized by a private property owner, a portion of that value may be directed to public facilities, services, amenities, or other Citywide priorities.

Community benefit contributions from YouTube were intentionally structured to be separate from project mitigation measures, development impact fees, affordable housing impact fees, permit charges, and other customary development obligations. Whereas those charges address the direct effects and facility demands of new development, community benefit payments are intended to provide flexible resources for broader community priorities, as determined by the City Council.

Southline Settlement Proceeds — $10.3 million
In June 2022, the City entered into a Transportation and Infrastructure Municipal Services Agreement with Lane Partners, developer of the Southline project in South San Francisco.

Although the project is located outside San Bruno, it is adjacent to the City and was anticipated to affect San Bruno’s transportation network, including traffic operations, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, and related municipal services.

Under the agreement, the developer agreed to pay the City $10.6 million, subject to a potential credit of up to $278,000 for construction of a portion of the Huntington Cycle Track, a net of $10.3 million. The payment was due concurrently with the City’s issuance of the encroachment permit needed for the Huntington Avenue/Sneath Lane intersection improvements. The agreement was negotiated in connection with the City’s issuance of required approvals and the resolution of potential disputes concerning Southline transportation impacts.

The agreement provides the City discretion regarding the uses of funds including selection, timing, and amount of funding for eligible transportation-network improvements identifies a range of transportation-network purposes, including intersection modifications, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, street beautification, capital-cost escalation and contingency, and police traffic-control measures. Additional information on conceptual uses of the Southline funds are provided in Attachment 1. The City has already appropriated $1.5 million in Southline funds for City contributions to the Huntington Cycle Track CIP.

The proceeds are held in the Community Benefit Fund but are a source separate from the YouTube community benefit payment. They are not development impact fees governed by the Mitigation Fee Act. Expenditures should therefore be presented and tracked separately from both the YouTube contribution and the City’s DIF funds and remain subject to the agreement and future Council appropriation.

Recommended Expenditures
Consistent with the City’s past fiscal practice, staff recommend that one-time revenues be directed to one-time purposes, such as capital improvements, deferred maintenance, debt reduction, reserve contributions, or other non-recurring strategic investments. Appropriation of Community Benefit Fund resources remains a policy decision for the City Council; however, this approach reflects a core municipal-finance principle: recurring programs and ongoing service levels should be supported by revenues that are recurring and sustainable over time. The Government Finance Officers Association similarly recommends that governments maintain

309 of 336

Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
August 25, 2026

Page 4 of 6 ends

structural balance by ensuring recurring revenues are sufficient to support recurring expenditures and by using one-time revenue for non-recurring expenditures.

Using a non-recurring resource to establish or sustain an ongoing service creates a future fiscal obligation when that resource is exhausted. At that point, the City must either identify replacement revenue, reduce service levels, or draw upon reserves. Maintaining a clear distinction between recurring and one-time resources protects the City’s long-term structural balance and preserves Council flexibility to use available Community Benefit Fund resources for high-value investments without creating unfunded ongoing commitments. The following details the uses of the Community Benefit Fund monies:

1. Past action: CityNet and Stormwater Enterprise Stabilization – On February 27, 2024, the City Council authorized the use of Community Benefit Fund resources to resolve accumulated negative equity in the CityNet and Stormwater Enterprise Funds.

Following completion of the City’s June 30, 2023 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report, auditors recorded interfund advances from the General Fund to address the funds’ combined negative cash position of approximately $16.7 million. Those advances had not been separately authorized by the City Council and, by themselves, did not fully resolve the enterprise funds’ negative equity positions.

To address these accumulated obligations, the Council authorized transfers totaling $23.67 million from the Community Benefit Fund: $21.5 million to CityNet and $2.17 million to Stormwater. These transfers eliminated the negative equity positions as of June 30, 2023, replaced General Fund backstop exposure with a one-time resource, and allowed the City to address the financial condition of both enterprise operations through a defined Council action.

The City subsequently identified CityNet’s fiscal sustainability as a priority initiative, conducted a competitive process to evaluate new ownership options, and approved a letter of intent with Comcast after receiving a qualified acquisition proposal. The subsequent sale of CityNet to Comcast was the most fiscally prudent path because CityNet lacked the financial resources needed to make the substantial and continuing investment required to remain competitive, including investment in fiber-to-the-home infrastructure. The Community Benefit Fund transfer was therefore a one-time transition measure; it did not establish an ongoing subsidy for CityNet operations.

These actions demonstrate the City’s proactive approach to identifying and resolving enterprise-fund deficits and associated General Fund interfund advances rather than allowing those obligations to remain unresolved at the expense of the General Fund.

The decision to use Community Benefit Fund to replenish the General Fund’s unassigned fund balance, together with the City’s broader financial-management practices, has supported the City’s strong credit profile and AAA bond rating. The resulting favorable borrowing terms on the recent Measure Q bond issuance produced meaningful savings for San Bruno taxpayers.

2. Future action: Available Community Benefit Fund as of June 30, 2026 and Pending CityNet Fund closure addition – As of the preliminary June 30, 2026 close, the Community Benefit Fund had an available balance of approximately $0.1 million. Staff also estimate that approximately $2.9 million may be returned to the Community Benefit Fund upon completion of the CityNet Fund closeout. The estimated $3 million will be

310 of 336

Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
August 25, 2026

Page 5 of 6 ends

available for consideration in the 2027-28 Capital Improvement Program budget development process.

The amount of Community Benefit funds available for the upcoming budget process is dependent on CityNet’s final disposition. At the unaudited June 30, 2026 soft close, the CityNet Fund held approximately $9.4 million in cash, consisting of the $8.0 million CityNet sale proceeds and residual resources from the prior Community Benefit Fund transfer. The fund also carried approximately $6.5 million in pension liabilities associated with former CityNet employees.

As part of the year-end close, staff is calculating the final CityNet pension liability and allocating that liability among the funds and departments that now employ the impacted former CityNet employees. Because a substantial portion of the liability is expected to transfer to the General Fund, the Council will need to determine whether CityNet cash should accompany the related pension obligation. If the preliminary balances remain unchanged and the cash and associated liabilities transfer to the General Fund, approximately $2.9 million in residual CityNet cash could be transferred back to the Community Benefit Fund. Staff will return to the City Council with final balances, the proposed liability allocation, and recommended actions as part of the June 30, 2026 ACFR presentation.

3. Future action: Southline funds – $9.5 million remain in Southline proceeds and accumulated investment earnings remain available for Council appropriation. As part of upcoming Capital Improvement Program development, staff will evaluate whether there are needed transportation-network projects that currently lack an identified funding source and can be advanced based on available resources and the City’s capacity to deliver the work. Attachment 1 provides additional background on conceptual Southline settlement expenditures.

This report transmits accounting of the Community Benefit Fund’s major revenue sources, prior appropriations, and remaining resources as of June 30, 2026. The report also distinguishes those discretionary resources from restricted funds paid by YouTube for development impact fees, affordable housing fees, and prepaid service charges that are legally or administratively restricted to specific purposes.

Consistent with the City’s financial practices and practice of adopting a balanced budget, future appropriations of Community Benefit Funds would prioritize one-time investments that advance community priorities, address long-term liabilities, or deliver eligible transportation improvements, while avoiding new ongoing obligations that would require continuing revenue support after these nonrecurring resources are exhausted. Staff will return to Council through the FY 2025–26 ACFR and upcoming Capital Improvement Program process with the information and recommendations needed for future action on CityNet residual cash and Southline proceeds.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact.

Staff Report

CITY OF SAN BRUNO
DATE: June 14, 2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Jovan D. Grogan, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Matthew Lee, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute the Transportation and Infrastructure/Municipal Services Agreement for the Southline Project
BACKGROUND: The terms of the Transportation and Infrastructure / Municipal Services Agreement for the Southline development project were considered by the San Bruno City Council at its May 24, 2022 Study Session. A detailed staff report was prepared and posted on- line for public review. This report summarizes the information in the May 24 report, but the detailed report can be accessed through the following link: City Council Study Session Staff Report (https://www.sanbruno.ca.gov/AgendaCenter/ViewFile/Agenda/_05242022-1588).

This item is being returned to provide responses to questions asked by the City Council on May 24, 2022, and to request City Council take action on approving the Transportation and Infrastructure / Municipal Services Agreement for the Southline project prior to City of South San Francisco project approvals anticipated in July 2022 so that the City of San Bruno can receive up to $10.6 million in developer contributions toward various San Bruno transportation projects.

This Background section will provide a high-level summary of the Southline development project and why this project which is in the City of South San Francisco is being brought before the San Bruno City Council.

The proposed project will be built in the City of South San Francisco, near the Tanforan Shopping Center by Lane Partners (“Developer”). Full build out includes a new office/research and development (R&D) campus with a maximum anticipated building area of up to 2.8 million square feet (see Attachment B – Site Plan). The proposed project would demolish all existing on-site industrial warehouse uses and construct commercial office, life science, research and development, and mixed-use buildings. Commercial building heights would range from four to seven stories subject to a maximum height of 120 feet. A three-phase development process for buildout of the project is anticipated, with Phase I consisting of approximately 700,000 square feet of office and a parking structure with 1,100 parking spaces.

Access will be provided by constructing a new east-west connection road (Southline Avenue) between Huntington Avenue and Linden Avenue through the middle of the site. The existing driveways and other accesses of the current industrial uses to Tanforan Avenue will be removed and replaced with a linear parklet in a substantial setback. The new road will require new intersections at Huntington Avenue on the west side of the new road and Linden Avenue on the east side.

4 A portion of the new intersection with Huntington Avenue is within the City of San Bruno (see Attachment C – New Huntington Intersection Plan). As such, the City of San Bruno has approval authority over the newly proposed intersection at Huntington Avenue.

DISCUSSION: All development project approvals will be issued by the City of South San Francisco (SSF) except for an encroachment permit from the City of San Bruno and Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) approvals required to construct a portion of the new Huntington Avenue intersection. Approvals from other utility agencies may also be required. Development associated with the proposed project will be implemented under the proposed SSF Specific Plan, which will establish new land use development standards and design guidelines for the project site.

This Discussion section will first describe the BART and City of San Bruno approvals that are needed for the new intersection at Huntington Avenue. The major provisions of the Transportation and Infrastructure / Municipal Services Agreement that if approved would allow for the construction of the intersection and provide for $10.6 million of developer contribution to the City of San Bruno toward transportation projects will be discussed next. The list of transportation projects that make up the contributions is provided in the Transportation Improvements subsection. The timing of the approval for the Transportation and Infrastructure/Municipal Services Agreement, which is critical for the City to receive the $10.6 million in developer contributions, will be discussed. This section will also briefly discuss why constructing the new intersection would benefit the City.

A wide range of questions was raised by City Council during the May 24, 2022 meeting.

Responses to those questions are provided as an attachment to this staff report (see Attachment E). A major discussion item was related to public outreach and community engagement. This Discussion section will summarize the extensive outreach efforts made by City staff and the developer related to the project and proposed intersection.

Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) Approvals
BART owns two parcels required for the new intersection. The existing Huntington Avenue right of way (ROW) in the area of the new intersection is owned by BART, and San Bruno has rights to have the road transferred in fee title. The City is in the process of acquiring this ROW from BART as part of the Huntington Avenue Cycle Track Project. The second is a triangle shaped parcel near Centennial Trail. Acquisition of the triangle parcel will be the responsibility of the developer. both of these acquisitions must be completed, or interim encroachment permits granted by BART, before the City can issue a City encroachment permit to the developer to construct the new intersection. It is estimated the ROW acquisitions and/or encroachment permits will not be completed with BART until winter of 2022-23.

San Bruno Approvals
The City of San Bruno will need to issue an encroachment permit to allow a portion of the new Huntington Avenue intersection to be constructed in San Bruno and to connect to San Bruno streets. This encroachment permit will be part of an Improvement Agreement which sets forth the detailed design of the new intersection and conditions that must be met as part of the construction process (e.g., utilities, traffic control devices, hours of construction). 4 of 26

4 In addition, the City of San Bruno can challenge the project EIR based on the impacts of the project to San Bruno residents, with the primary concern being the traffic/transportation impacts to San Bruno intersections. Traffic analyses revealed Level of Service (“LOS”) impacts to five intersections which could be mitigated through intersection improvements (see Attachment D). It was determined that those intersections that were identified as deteriorating to unacceptable levels would do so with or without the project due to future regional growth. The Transportation and Infrastructure / Municipal Services Agreement, if approved, would provide funds to make the improvements at various intersections in San Bruno to return them to acceptable LOS. The total cost of constructing these mitigation improvements is $2.695 million. The total payment included a cost escalation and contingency contribution for capital projects in the amount of $480,000 (see Table 1).

The project EIR evaluated the project with and without the new intersection. San Bruno staff and consultants retained on behalf of San Bruno determined that installing the intersection was preferable because traffic would be directed to the main arterial streets rather than narrow local roads. Approving the Transportation and Infrastructure / Municipal Services Agreement would allow for the construction of this new Huntington Avenue intersection, as well as provide San Bruno with $10.6 million in developer contributions.

Transportation and Infrastructure / Municipal Services Agreement Provisions The Developer is responsible for paying the cost of the new Huntington Avenue intersection through negotiations with City staff. In addition to paying for the new intersection improvements, Lane Partners has agreed to make a payment to the City of San Bruno for $10.6 million at the time the encroachment permit is issued for the new Huntington Avenue intersection improvements located in San Bruno.  In exchange, the City would not challenge the project approvals, whether through litigation or otherwise. The Developer payment is based on the transportation projects as set forth in Table 1. The payment will be made under certain conditions set forth in Transportation/Infrastructure Municipal Services Agreement. This agreement requires San Bruno City Council approval, and once approved the subsequent Improvement and Maintenance Agreements and encroachment permit will be ministerial approvals by staff.

The Transportation and Infrastructure/Municipal Services Agreement will need to be approved prior to the actions of SSF City Council to approve the project design and EIR scheduled for July 2022 for the City of San Bruno to receive $10.6 million in developer contributions.

The major provisions of the agreement are as follows:
 The SSF project approvals include the preparation of an EIR. The EIR identifies intersections, bicycle paths, pedestrian ways and transit systems and services in San Bruno that may be adversely affected directly or indirectly by development and occupancy of the Project.
 The City and Developer have a shared interest in the efficient management of traffic and operation of the San Bruno transportation network and have agreed to work together to promote that interest by entering into a Transportation and Infrastructure/Municipal Services Agreement (“Agreement”) to fund improvements to the San Bruno transportation network, and resolve any dispute they may have regarding the LOS traffic impacts of the Southline Project.

4  As consideration for the City’s issuance of an encroachment permit authorizing the San Bruno roadway project improvements, Developer shall pay the City $10,600,000, which the City in its sole discretion may use to fund improvements to the San Bruno Transportation Network (set forth in Table 1). The Developer’s transportation funding contribution shall be payable concurrently with the City issuing the encroachment permit to the Developer.
 A portion of the $10.6 million is for funding the gap in the Huntington Cycle Track project.

A portion of the Huntington Cycle Track project may be built by the Developer at the time the new intersection is developed. If this occurs the Developer will be subject to a maximum credit of $278,000 against the $10.6 million payment obligation.  The Developer shall apply for and obtain the San Bruno approvals prior to starting any core and shell construction work on the Project.
 The City has determined that changes to the San Bruno General Plan Transportation Element are required but are relatively minor, and the City intends to process such amendments as part of a future General Plan amendment.
 Property interests in two Bay Area Rapid Transit Agency (“BART”) parcels must be acquired before San Bruno issuance of an encroachment permit for the new intersection.

The parcels require two separate and different acquisition processes which may be on different schedules. The City’s issuance of the encroachment permits may be delayed pending completion of the two BART property transfers, or issuance of interim encroachment permits by BART. As a result, the Developer payment of $10.6 million will also await the BART ROW transfers or encroachment permits, estimated to occur in 2023.
 The City currently is considering certain improvements to the San Bruno Transportation Network (set forth in Table 1), and may consider additional or different improvements in the future. All decisions regarding selection of the improvements to be implemented, provision and timing of the improvements, and the amount of funding provided by the City for such Improvements, shall be in the City’s sole discretion, with the exception of the credit for partial construction of the Cycle Track to be completed by the Developer as part of the new intersection improvements.
 In consideration of payment of the $10.6 million transportation funding contribution, the City agrees that it will not authorize or undertake any opposition to the project including file any opposition or seek any legal remedy in connection with approval by SSF of the Project.
 In the event the Developer decides (after the Transportation/Infrastructure Municipal Services Agreement is executed) to redesign the project without the new intersection, the Developer will be obligated to pay the City an alternative access payment not less than $2 million and no more than $6.5 million (instead of the $10.6 million payment). The amount will be determined by negotiation between the City and Developer based on a traffic analysis of LOS intersection impacts as a result of the dispersal of traffic without the benefit of the new intersection. This is to ensure the traffic mitigations are paid for even though the City is not issuing an encroachment permit for the new intersection under this alternative. It is unlikely the Developer would choose not to build the new intersection even though it reduces the payment to the City, as the intersection is very 6 of 26

4 important for vehicular circulation to and from the project and provides better access to the transit stations which helps implement their Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Program. This improved access will be important for leasing to prospective tenants.
 There are default and remedy provisions
Transportation Improvements
The transportation improvements consist of projects that are part of the development or adjacent to it, and offsite improvements within San Bruno that mitigate traffic impacts.

Project Specific Improvements being funded by the Developer consist of the following:
 Construction of the new Huntington Avenue intersection. This intersection will also improve access to the Tanforan Center, which is under new ownership and proposed for redevelopment.
 Reconstruction of the Tanforan Avenue and South Maple intersection to reduce traffic on Tanforan Avenue by closing access to South Maple Avenue. This project will also include undergrounding of overhead utilities on Tanforan Avenue.

Offsite San Bruno Improvements: Staff and the developer discussed various traffic mitigation improvements as well as bike and beautification improvements in the vicinity of the project. The total project and services list discussed is summarized in Table 1:

May 24, 2022 Questions and Public Outreach / Community Engagement San Bruno City Council asked a range of questions on the project during the May 24, 2022 study session. Responses to questions are provided in Attachment E. Heightened interest was on the public outreach and community engagement by staff and the developer.

Between May 2020 and June 2022, and including the meeting presenting this agenda item, the City of San Bruno, the Developer, or SSF hosted 8 meetings where the San Bruno community was noticed and invited to attend. Attachment F provides the list of meetings, the dates, and brief discussion of the meeting that have occurred. Attachment F also shows a pre-construction meeting the Developer plans to host on June 22, 2022 with the public in response to feedback regarding construction impact concerns. It is anticipated SSF will consider approving the Southline project in July 2022.

Two meetings for San Bruno residents were held recently to present plans for the project, explain potential impacts, and request input on design of the Tanforan Avenue linear parklet, and a parking program. A more detailed summary of these meetings can be found in the staff report for the May 24 City Council Study Session.

The first meeting on April 20 focused on Tanforan residents because they are closest to the project and will be most affected by the new buildings and linear park. This meeting presented design options for the linear park (e.g., community garden, play structure, etc.) and allowed residents to “vote” on their preferred elements. Ten residents attended this in-person meeting, and the project generally was well received. Parking surveys were hand delivered to approximately 100 residences closest to Tanforan Avenue bordered by Huntington Avenue East, Tanforan Avenue, Bayshore Circle North, and Herman Street.

The second meeting on May 3 invited a wider geographic area of residents and focused more on transportation improvements, impacts and mitigations, and was conducted on an electronic video meeting platform to allow greater participation. Notices were mailed to approximately 325 residences and business bordered by Huntington Avenue East, Tanforan Avenue, San Mateo Drive and I-380 freeway. This meeting was attended by approximately 25 residents, including several San Bruno City Council Members and a Planning Commissioner. A summary of the comments and questions are set forth in the report for the May 24 Council Study Session. The overall tone of the meeting was positive, with expressions of appreciation for the meeting and the planned improvements.

In addition to the public informational workshops, the City and the Developer has conducted multiple outreach efforts regarding this project in English and Spanish. In addition, this project 8 of 26

4 has been posted on both the San Bruno’s and SSF’s Development webpages, and the Developer has maintained the Southline coUrbanize webpage as a forum to provie updates on the project and receive feedback from the public.

Finally, the City has conducted targeted outreach for this June 14 Council agenda item and sent out notification mailer notices to San Bruno approximately 325 residents and businesses previously noticed, and an additional approximately 30 parcels that were identified to be within a 1000-foot radius of the intersection, with mailers provided in English, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Tagalog, Hindi, Arabic, and Russian. The Developer hand delivered notices door to door to the approximately 100 residences closest to the project. San Bruno posted the meeting notice on its social media sites and emailed participants of in-person meetings that provided email addresses, as well as those who provided email addresses as part of survey responses.

More information regarding the City’s outreach efforts is detailed in Attachment E.

Given the extensive outreach efforts and mailers sent regarding public meetings on the project, San Bruno residents and businesses in the area have been provided multiple opportunities to learn about the project and the proposed intersection, ask questions, and provide input. During the public meetings, feedback has been positive about the project, the developer, and the improvements on Tanforan Avenue. Staff has provided information regarding the proposed intersection and response from residents ranged from neutral to very positive.

FISCAL IMPACT: Should the Transportation/Infrastructure Municipal Services Agreement Developer be executed, the Developer would pay the City $10,600,000 (less the Cycle Track credit) when the City issues the encroachment permit for the proposed intersection at Huntington Avenue and Sneath Lane to the Developer. Although the City of San Bruno will not receive direct property tax benefits from the project, there will be positive financial benefits to the Tanforan area businesses from increased patronage by the project’s future employees.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was prepared to address potential environmental impacts including: Agriculture and Forestry Resources, Air Quality, Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, Energy, Geology and Soils, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, Hydrology and Water Quality, Land Use and Planning, Mineral Resources, Noise, Population and Housing, Public Services, Recreation, Transportation, Tribal Cultural Resources, Utilities and Service Systems, and Wildfire. This report was prepared by SSF as the responsible agency.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute the Transportation and Infrastructure Municipal Services Agreement for the Southline Project in substantial conformance with the foregoing terms on behalf of the City.

ALTERNATIVES: The alternative is to not approve the Transportation/Infrastructure Municipal Services Agreement which would then eliminate the Developer’s $10.6 million contribution to San Bruno transportation and beautification projects; and the new intersection at Huntington Avenue and Sneath Lane would not be constructed. However, it would not keep the project from being constructed as the traffic (as studied in the EIR) can be shifted eastward to Dollar Avenue in SSF and Herman Street in San Bruno.

If the Council does not approve the Agreement and no settlement is reached, then in order to protect the City’s interests the Council should direct staff to identify additional comments on the Project’s CEQA review and objections to the Project, and submit them to the City of South San 9 of 26

MAY 24, 2022 STUDY SESSION QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
During the May 24, 2022 Study Session, the City Council had a number of questions about the Southline development project within the City of South San Francisco and the Transportation and Improvement/Municipal Services Agreement being recommended for approval between the City of San Bruno and the developer of Southline, Lane Partners. The following are responses to the Council questions.

1. Traffic generation:
a) How many vehicles are projected to enter/exit from the site? b) Do the 2040 traffic projections include YouTube and other approved San Bruno projects?
c) Is the pavement section going to be redesigned for the new vehicular load? Response a): The Project’s transportation and circulation impacts were evaluated under the Southline Environmental Impact Report (“EIR”) (State Clearinghouse #2020050452) prepared by South San Francisco, which includes a Transportation Impact Analysis prepared by Fehr & Peers that studied Project vehicle trip generation. As described under the Transportation Impact Analysis, the project [Reduced Underground Parking Alternative] would generate up to approximately 3,500 net new daily vehicle trips at Phase 1 and up to approximately 16,400 net new trips at project buildout. These trips would occur over the course of the day, with approximately half arriving at the project site and approximately half exiting the project site.

For reference purposes, the Transportation Impact Analysis for the Bayhill Specific Plan project, which was prepared by the same consultant firm as the Transportation Impact Analysis for Southline, estimated that YouTube’s Phase I development would generate up to approximately 4,000 daily trips, and buildout of the most impactful Maximum Office Scenario (approximately 2.5 million square feet) would generate up to approximately 41,500 daily vehicle trips, both without factoring in applicable Transportation Demand Management measures.

Response b): Yes, the Southline EIR cumulative transportation analysis included land use growth covered in Plan Bay Area 2040, and included the Bayhill Specific Plan project.

Given the scale of the Bayhill Specific Plan project, and the potential for both projects to share certain overlapping local and regional transportation infrastructure, the Bayhill Specific Plan project was added to the traffic model used in the cumulative transportation analysis.

Additionally, the cumulative analysis of mobile air emissions in the Southline EIR’s Air Quality and of traffic-generated Noise chapters both incorporate cumulative traffic volumes.

Response c) Yes, the reconfigured intersection will be designed to achieve or exceed industry-standard engineering criteria to accommodate the anticipated vehicle load. South San Francisco’s Conditions of Approval for the project requires that new roadways will be designed for a Traffic Index of 9.5, based on anticipated car, bus, and truck traffic, per the Transportation Impact Analysis and Caltrans highway design guidelines. This pavement section will be constructed as 6” of asphalt over 22” of aggregate base. This is a robust roadway section, typically reserved for major arterial roads in California. 18 of 26

4 2. Parking:
a) Will there be enough without spillover to San Bruno streets? b) Can San Bruno residents have rights to use the parking structure? Response a): The Southline campus will include adequate parking to accommodate future campus tenants and visitors. The Southline Specific Plan does not authorize parking on San Bruno streets. The Project is a transit-oriented development and will be required to implement a robust Transportation Demand Management Program, as described below, to reduce the number of employees and visitors driving to the project site and encourage usage of alternative transportation modes, based on the Project’s unique location adjacent to the San Bruno BART station and SamTrans Transit Center. Project parking will be provided onsite at a maximum ratio of 1.65 striped spaces per 1,000 square feet of commercial uses, with an option to incorporate valet parking program(s) up to 2.0 spaces per 1,000 square feet of commercial use, subject to City of South San Francisco review and approval. Additional parking within the Southline amenities building will be provided for Specific Plan area visitors and Amenities Building customers, staff, and affiliates. The Phase 1 project component will include approximately 1,095 vehicle parking spaces, in addition to 218 bicycle parking spaces.

Response b): The Southline parking structures will be available to project tenants, visitors and affiliates, and not available to the public. The City of South San Francisco zoning code does not allow for privately owned/operated parking facilities offered for public use in this area, and South San Francisco is proposing to carry through this restriction in the Southline Specific Plan. These regulations are similar to those adopted for the San Bruno Bayhill Specific Plan area, which does not permit commercial parking structures or lots available to the public. (See San Bruno Municipal Code, Chapter 12.290, Table 12.290-1: Permitted Land Uses – Bayhill Zoning Districts).

3. Construction Impacts:
a) What are the EIR mitigation measures that will be implemented to mitigate construction impacts (noise, vector control, dust, truck traffic, construction employee parking, etc.)?
b) What mechanism will be established for San Bruno staff to communicate San Bruno construction complaints to South San Francisco staff and receive updates on South San Francisco staff’s follow through?
Response a): The project’s construction impacts were evaluated throughout the Southline EIR prepared by South San Francisco. To the greatest extent feasible, construction related impacts will be reduced or avoided through implementation of the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) prepared in connection with the EIR, in addition to compliance with other Phase 1 project Conditions of Approval. An overview of the applicable construction- related mitigation measures and Phase 1 project Conditions of Approval is provided below.

Please refer to the Southline EIR, MMRP and Conditions of Approval for a complete list, and additional information regarding Mitigation Measures applicable to development of future phases.

4 Security and Noticing:
 Condition of Approval #9: Project is responsible for maintaining site security prior to, and throughout the construction process. This includes installation of appropriate fencing, lighting, remote monitors, or on-site security personnel as needed.  Condition of Approval #10 : Project is responsible for providing site signage during construction, which contains contact information for questions regarding the construction.

Construction Worker Parking:
 Condition of Approval #11: During construction, the Project must provide parking on-site, or shall arrange for off-site parking, for construction workers. It is anticipated that all construction parking will be provided onsite.

Noise and Dust:
 Condition of Approval #12: Construction activities must be conducted to reduce to a minimum any noise vibration or dust.
 Mitigation Measure AQ-1: Require Fugitive Dust Best Management Practices - All applicants proposing development of projects within the project site, including the Phase 1 applicant, shall require their contractors, as a condition of contract, to reduce construction-related fugitive dust by implementing BAAQMD’s basic control measures at all construction and staging areas.
 Mitigation Measure NOI-1a: Applicant must develop a Construction Noise Control Plan, which includes a range of measures to reduce noise from construction activity and comply with municipal daytime and nighttime noise standards. Measures include identifying an on-site construction liaison, with information on name and telephone number through on- site signage and notices mailed/delivered to surrounding land uses. If construction noise is found to be intrusive to the community (i.e., if complaints are received), the construction liaison shall take reasonable efforts to investigate the source of the noise and require that reasonable measures be implemented to correct the problem.  Mitigation Measure NOI-1b: Applicant must construct a temporary noise barrier along Tanforan Avenue in advance of project construction in order to reduce noise impacts outside of the Project boundary and along Tanforan Avenue.

Rodent/Vector Control:
 The applicant and project general contractor intend to implement a rodent and vector control program as part of its abatement and demolition activities, as well as through project construction. This program includes an evaluation of the project site and placement of devices and measures to control rodents on the project site and the surrounding areas.

Lane Partners and the project general contractor will hold a pre-construction meeting with adjacent San Bruno properties owners and members of the public prior to commencement of construction activity. Information regarding the time and location for this meeting will be provided separately.

4 Response b): As described above, the project applicant is required to provide site signage during construction, which must provide contact information for questions regarding the construction, and also must maintain a construction liaison who is responsible for responding to construction noise complaints. Complaints that are received by San Bruno staff will be forwarded to South San Francisco staff and San Bruno staff will make an initial response to the resident that the complaint has been forwarded to South San Francisco for action.

4. What is the anticipated project/construction schedule? Response: The Phase 1 schedule is planned as follows:
 Abatement/Demo Start: July 2022
 Phase 1 Foundation Work: October 2022
 Phase 1 Steel Erection: Q2 2023
 Phase 1 Completion: Q3 2024
Future phases of the project will be built out over time driven by market conditions.

5. What streets will be repaved around the site?
Response: The conditions of approval will require the following require the Applicant to reconstruct the following streets (curb to curb) to a Traffic Index of 9.5:
a. Dollar Avenue from Tanforan Avenue to Southline Avenue b. South Linden Avenue along the Lot 5 property frontage c. South Linden Avenue from the at-grade railroad crossing to Dollar Avenue. d. Huntington Avenue from Tanforan Avenue to Sneath Avenue along the realigned Huntington Avenue right-of-way.
e. South Maple Avenue approximately 125 feet north of Southline Avenue In addition, the Applicant shall perform base repairs, and perform a 2-inch grind and AC overlay of the following streets (curb to curb):
a. Tanforan Avenue from Huntington Avenue to Dollar Avenue. b. Huntington Avenue from the southern driveway of the BART parking lot to Tanforan Avenue.
c. South Linden Avenue from the at-grade crossing to the eastern limits of the new concrete median island

6. How can San Bruno residents access the public amenities? Response: San Bruno residents can access the public amenities by walking, biking, or driving to the campus. The public amenities consist of the following:
 1-acre Tanforan Avenue parklet
 Outdoor plaza adjacent to the campus amenity building  Restaurant, coffee shop, bike repair station

4  Southline Commons, a large open space contemplated for the future phases

7. Who will oversee the proposed construction work? Who is doing the inspections? Response: The project is within South San Francisco. All building and on-site construction will be inspected by South San Francisco staff. South San Francisco staff will also be responsible for inspecting the intersection construction, and San Bruno staff or consultants retained by San Bruno will assist for that portion of the intersection within San Bruno. A cost recovery agreement with the Developer will cover the City’s expenses for any inspection or construction testing services within the City of San Bruno.

8. How will the current cost estimate account for future construction of traffic improvements and associated inflation?
Response: The $10.6 million developer payment to the City of San Bruno includes a $480,000 contingency for this purpose.

9. What will be the agreement between the two cities for new intersection and signal maintenance?
Response: A maintenance agreement between the two cities will be negotiated after the City Councils of both cities approve the project. It is not appropriate at this point to allocate staff time to these discussions until the project is approved. The agreement will include items such as mutual cooperation for determining signal timing and coordination with nearby San Bruno signals, maintenance and operation cost responsibility of future traffic signals, and pavement and striping maintenance.

10. Can San Bruno CityNet be used as the provider for cable or internet service for the project?
Response: Staff is evaluating the feasibility of use of San Bruno CityNet fiber optic services outside of the City boundary. Procedural and legal/regulatory requirements will need to be discussed between San Bruno and South San Francisco prior to determination of feasibility.

11. How will the funds for San Bruno Police Department Traffic Control Measures be used?
Response: The initial request from the Police Department is for funding for a traffic control officer as needed. The exact personnel commitment required cannot be determined until the project is built, occupied, and generating traffic. At that point the Police Department will have recommendations for police traffic control measures to supplement intersection signals if needed. In the meantime, the City will have funds from the $10.6 million developer payment to offset these potential costs.

12. Is the project going to the Traffic, Safety and Parking Committee (TSPC) for review? 22 of 26

332 of 336

Page 6 of 8 ends

6 2
4 Response: The intersection and cycle track improvements will be reviewed by the TSPC following the City Council June meeting. This will be for information only as the TSPC does not have authority over a development project in SSF, and the San Bruno intersection impacts and mitigations have been developed jointly between the two cities using three traffic engineering consultants to develop proposed traffic mitigations. When the intersection modifications are designed in detail, there will be a further opportunity for TSPC input prior to the Developer constructing.

13. Public notice:
a) What notice will be given to residents for the June Council meeting and how large of an area?
b) Will the notice be multilingual?
c) What other forms of notification are used besides a mailer? Response a): The June 14 City Council Special Meeting notice was mailed to a total of 363 businesses and residences that are either located within a 1000-ft radius from the intersection plus the outer limits of the resident meeting #2 notification area, which included all of the properties located between Tanforan Ave. on the north, San Mateo Ave. on the east, Highway 380 to the south, and Huntington Ave. on the west. (See mailing notice exhibit below for notification boundary.)

4 Response b): There were multiple outreach efforts during the public outreach meetings in English and Spanish, and the back of the June 14th Special City Council meeting includes information in English, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Tagalog, Hindi, Arabic, and Russian in effort to reach as many people as possible.

Response c): In addition to the mailed notices, the Developer walked door-to-door to all the residences on Tanforan Avenue, Atlantic Avenue, Pacific Avenue, and Bayshore Circle and Herman Street and Huntington Avenue East north of Bayshore Circle to hand out mailers for the June 14 meeting.

In addition to the mailer, the applicant has been using the Southline coUrbanize webpage as a forum to provide updates and receive feedback. Information about the project has also been posted on both the San Bruno and South San Francisco Development Activity webpages, the City has posted information about the Southline Development Community Meeting on the City’s social media outlets (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Nextdoor), and finally, the Development team has targeted outreach to both San Bruno residents and South San Francisco industrial tenants.

14. How will Transportation Demand Management (TDM) goals be enforced and what happens if TDM metrics are not met?
Response:

Overview: The project is subject to the South San Francisco Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Ordinance, as set forth under SSF Municipal Code Chapter 20.400. The project will be required to achieve a 45% alternative mode usage, meaning that no more than 55% of trips to the project site may be single-occupancy vehicle trips. Lane Partners has prepared and submitted a Preliminary TDM Plan to the City of South San Francisco for approval that includes a variety of services, incentives, and facilities to achieve the 45% alternative mode usage requirements. This is the highest trip reduction requirement South San Francisco has imposed on any development project.

Compliance and Enforcement: The efficacy of Southline’s Final TDM Plan(s) will be monitored based on the requirements in the South San Francisco TDM Ordinance, and additional TDM measures will be imposed in the event that the 45% mode shift goal is not achieved.
 Annual Surveys: The project must comply with on-going monitoring, including annual surveys, which will be managed by project specific TDM Coordinator(s). The initial annual survey will be submitted one year after a certificate of occupancy is granted. If the applicable portion of the project has not achieved the minimum 45% alternative mode usage, the developer must provide an explanation of why the goal has not been reached, and a description of additional measures that will be adopted in the coming year to attain the TDM goal.
 Triennial Surveys: After the initial survey, the TDM Coordinator(s) will work with South San Francisco’s Planning Division to document the effectiveness of the TDM program by measuring and reporting on the commute mode distribution at Southline every three years.

6 2
4  Lease Provisions: Leases for all tenants within the Southline Campus will include provisions regarding mandatory TDM measures, appointment of a TDM Coordinator(s), and a requirement for ongoing communications and cooperation between property managers and the TDM Coordinator(s). Leases will also identify the City of South San Francisco’s potential penalties for noncompliance based on failure to submit reports or to achieve the 45% alternative mode use. Tenants are obligated to ensure these requirements are met and to communicate proactively with property managers and the TDM Coordinator(s).

Penalties for Non-Compliance: After the initial triennial report, if the subsequent triennial report indicates that the required alternative mode use is still not being achieved, or if an applicant fails to submit a triennial report at the times described above, the City of South San Francisco may assess a monetary penalty against the applicant. The penalty shall be established by South San Francisco City Council resolution on the basis of project size and actual percentage alternative mode use as compared to the percent alternative mode use established in the trip reduction plan. Any penalties that are assessed will be used to fund implementation of additional trip reduction measures.

15. What is the landscaping plan for Huntington Avenue? Response: The conceptual plan for landscaping was presented to the City Council at the Study Session and includes the area adjacent to BART as well as the new Cycle Track.

Detailed landscape plans will be developed as part of the construction drawings for both the new intersection and the Cycle Track projects.

16. Can the streets be renamed to extend Sneath Lane to the west leg of the new intersection?
Response: Staff will confer with our surveyor and other stakeholders about best practices for street naming for the street alignment.

Conclusion
Many of the questions answered in this memorandum involve project design issues that are not within the jurisdiction of the City of San Bruno. The information above is provided to respond to San Bruno City Council questions, but San Bruno City Council approval authority will be limited to the Transportation/Municipal Services Agreement, which sets forth the developer payment to mitigate intersection impacts and provide funding for other transportation improvements such as the Cycle Track.
