Subject: Status Report on the 2018 Ballot Measure T – The Disaster Preparedness, Public Safety, and Infrastructure General Obligation Bond
1) Measure T Community Oversight Committee – The committee met on June 26, 2025, to review the 2025-2026 Proposed Biennial Capital Budget and 2026- 2030 Capital Improvement Program, approve the creation of an ad hoc committee, approve the committee by-laws, and vote on a new chair and vice chair. The ad hoc committee is comprised of six members and one alternate that will review and make recommendations to the larger Measure T Community Oversight Committee based on the annual independent auditor’s report and annual expenditures of the Measure T Bond funds.
The next meeting will be held on November 6, 2025, to review the annual independent auditor’s report on the expenditures from fiscal year 2024-2025.
Currently, there are 13 committee seats filled and two vacant seats from District 8 and the Citywide – Public Safety.
2) Public Safety Projects – The Measure T program allocates $220.5 million to complete public safety projects. Site selection, land acquisition, and scoping for the majority of projects have been completed and many of the projects are either in design or construction. Since many projects have now moved into the construction phase, staff has a clear understanding of the spending and funding needs to complete all projects identified at the time the bond measure was passed. The updated schedules for all pending public safety projects are shown in Attachment B – Public Safety Project Estimated Schedules. Additionally, Attachment C – Completed Public Safety Projects reflects all public safety projects that have been completed. A summary of current activities in the public safety category is below.
(a) Relocated Fire Station 8 – The construction project was awarded on August 15, 2023, to the lowest responsive bidder, DL Falk Construction, Inc., in the amount of $10,526,000. The project began construction in October 2023 with final completion originally anticipated in spring 2025. Due to unforeseen conditions such as the switchgear arriving beyond the anticipated arrival date and the changes to the relocation of the Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) vault, the expected completion is now October 2025.
(b) New Fire Station 32 – The project was awarded to the lowest responsive bidder, Gonsalves & Stronck Construction Company, on June 18, 2024, in the amount of $12,867,777 which included the award of bid alternates for expansion of the facility to be a dual company fire station, as well as the installation of a rooftop solar photovoltaic system. The project required an additional $3 million from Fund 498 – Measure T Public Safety Program Reserve to cover the costs for the dual company area of the project. The project began construction in August 2024 with final completion anticipated for spring 2026. Although this facility is being constructed to house both an

engine and a truck company, the 2025-2026 Adopted Operating Budget deferred funding for the truck company to contribute towards addressing the General Fund shortfall. Staffing augmentations for the truck company will be evaluated annually with consideration towards the City’s General Fund position and other critical City Council priorities.
(c) Relocated Fire Station 23 (Land Acquisition Only) – This project includes a budget of $4.1 million, dedicated solely for the purchase of a property for the future relocation of the fire station. A suitable site for Fire Station 23 has been identified and staff have engaged the landowner in negotiations. To support property acquisition, the project first needs to complete an environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act. The California Environmental Quality Act is currently under review. Staff anticipates returning to City Council with recommendations for the potential acquisition of the property once the project’s California Environmental Quality Act analysis is complete, which is anticipated at the end of this calendar year 2025.
The project is estimated to need an additional $18 million to complete both the design and construction. To proceed with the design of Fire Station 23, staff will need to prioritize the remaining public safety projects and identify program savings or other funding opportunities, such as grants or funding in the General Fund and Fire Construction and Conveyance Tax Fund. The relocation of Fire Station 23 will improve coverage within the city limits and accounts for planned developments in North San José. Fire Station 23 is the fourth priority fire station approved by City Council in the June 18, 2019 memorandum
Measure T – New Fire Station Placement Prioritization (Item
8.1), and is the last fire station in need of land acquisition.
(d) New Fire Station 36 – The City has acquired the land located at the intersection of Capitol Expressway and Tuers Road for the construction of Fire Station 36. The project is currently fully funded. Staff have started the design process and anticipates completing the design in fall of 2026 with construction completion anticipated in fall of 2028.
(e) Police Training and Academy Facility – The City acquired 300 Enzo as the site for the relocated Police Training and Academy in March 2021. The project was awarded on December 5, 2023, to the lowest responsive bidder, Midstate Construction, in the amount of $28,748,000. The project construction start date was March 11, 2024; final completion is anticipated for spring of 2026. Originally, the project was expected to be completed late 2025; however, the project schedule has been impacted due to unforeseen conditions within the existing building discovered during the course of construction.

(f) Emergency Operations Center – The project, in conjunction with the Fire Department Training Center, was awarded on January 12, 2021 to Zovich Construction, Inc. in the amount of $54,105,000. The project received a temporary Certificate of Occupancy in April 2024 and was extended through November 2024, with minor punch list items remaining to be completed prior to final project acceptance. Building 1 includes the Fire Training Center, partial Fire Information Technology team, and the City Manager’s Office of Emergency Management. Building 2 includes the Emergency Operations Center, which has ongoing heating, ventilation and air conditioning system challenges in the computer network room. Staff have been actively monitoring and are seeking further actions with the general contractor to remedy the situation, with an estimated completion date of January 2026.
(g) 9-1-1 Call Center Renovation – This project improves working conditions and creates a more efficient space for additional dispatch personnel to handle increasing call volumes. This project will also allow the City of San José to keep pace with evolving methods and technologies the public utilizes when calling for a 9-1-1 service. The 9-1-1 Call Center renovation will expand into the space previously used for the Emergency Operations Center in the Police Administration Building. The 9-1-1 Call Center Renovation project was advertised in June; however, no responsive bids were received. Alternative approaches are being considered, and the project may be re-advertised in the near future. Pending a successful re-bid, construction is projected to commence late December 2025 and conclude late 2026.
(h) Police Air Support Unit Hangar – The location of this project is 1114 Coleman Avenue, on the corner of Coleman Avenue and Airport Boulevard, next to the recently completed Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting Facility (Fire Station 20). The project was awarded on November 7, 2023, to the lowest responsive bidder, DL Falk Construction, Inc., in the amount of $12,660,000, and included the bid alternate for the construction of the second aircraft hangar bay for a future fixed-wing aircraft. The project began construction in January 2024, with final completion anticipated in October 2025. Due to constructability issues with some of the critical items such as fire foam suppression system and switchgear installation, the project completion schedule has been impacted.
On June 17, 2025, City Council approved staff’s recommendation to increase the construction contingency from 10% to 14% for this project. An additional contingency amount was needed to install the required fire foam suppression system within the hangar and construct the associated building modifications.
Overall, the project’s budget increased by $1.1 million, with the funding coming from the Program Reserve for Public Safety.

(i) Police Administration Building Upgrades (originally reported as Police Headquarters Infrastructure Upgrades) – Staff completed preliminary scoping exercises, working closely with the Police Department to identify potential projects to be completed at the Police Administration Building. The highest priority projects identified include improvements to the plumbing throughout the facility, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system upgrades in the existing range, and an upgrade of the existing gun range target system. As part of the March 14, 2023, update, City Council approved increasing the project budget to $6.3 million to address these high-priority projects.
The target system replacement for the existing gun range at the Police Administration Building has been completed. Staff is currently working on the preliminary design for the plumbing system with the intention to complete design in May 2026 and start construction by summer of 2026. Staff will be analyzing the existing heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system for appropriate improvements and determining the project need against the available budget for this project and other Public Safety projects.
(j) Program Reserve for Public Safety – Initially, $36.42 million of the Measure T Public Safety and Infrastructure Bond funds were set aside in the reserve for various projects, including: Police Administration Building Upgrades, 9-1-1 Call Center Upgrades, rehabilitation of various fire stations, as well as a contingency for public safety projects. Subsequently, funding has been allocated to various public safety projects once the scopes were defined or to offset higher costs of construction awards. As of July 1, 2025 the reserve balance currently stands at $18.6 million. The goal of the reserve is to have funds available to be allocated for the design and construction of Fire Station 23; however, these funds could potentially be used for other Measure T priority projects pending bid results.
(k) Arbitrage Rebate Reserve – This new reserve was created in FY 2025-2026 to set aside funding for payments to the Internal Revenue Service. Investment earnings in excess of the arbitrage yield on tax-exempt bond proceeds are to be rebated to the Internal Revenue Service at the end of every fifth bond year. For the bond year ending September 1, 2024, the cumulative interest earnings for the tax-exempt 2021A Bonds are estimated to exceed the arbitrage yield by $4.4 million, which will be subject to rebate to the Internal Revenue Service in 2026. The excess interest earnings are a result of rising interest rates and slower spending of the bond proceeds than anticipated. In the event that payback is not required or less than estimated, the remaining funding in the Reserve will be used for Measure T projects.

3) Pavement and Bridge Maintenance
(a) Street Resurfacing Projects – The City’s 2,519-mile pavement network includes 967 miles of major streets (arterials and collectors) and 1,552 miles of local and neighborhood streets. The Measure T program designated $300 million for the repair or rehabilitation of local and neighborhood streets in the worst condition. In 2019, this meant resurfacing 420 miles of streets using Measure T funds. However, as pavement conditions deteriorated over time, more streets fell into the rehabilitation category for pavement treatment. To deliver the pavement program efficiently, staff divided stretches of roadways into zones and prioritized these zones based on overall conditions and ability to leverage other funding sources to supplement and deliver projects efficiently and effectively. This has proven to have significant benefits by reducing mobilization costs, shortening the project delivery timeline, and stretching the Measure T funds as streets deteriorate over time and fall under the rehabilitation category-enabling the Department of Transportation (DOT) to deliver many more miles of resurfaced roads than originally expected
DOT has resurfaced about 516 miles of roadway since 2020 utilizing Measure T funds. In the March 2025 report to City Council, an incorrect total miles resurfaced was reported, which included roadway resurfaced through other funding sources. This error has been corrected and is now appropriately reflected in this report.
For the 2025 construction season, DOT plans to complete maintenance using a resurfacing treatment on 105 miles of San José local and neighborhood streets, with about $50 million in Measure T funding. A map showing the locations can be found in Attachment D – City of San José 2020-2025 Local Streets Measure T Streets.
In the 2026 construction season, DOT plans to resurface 55 miles of local and neighborhood streets using Measure T funding. In 2026, DOT will strategically reduce the paved miles to prioritize efficiency and sustainability, ensuring that investments keep pace with rising construction and project preparation costs.
DOT continues to provide updated memoranda every spring to share tentative construction plans with the public.
(b) Bridge Repair and Rehabilitation Projects – The Measure T program allocated $20 million for City-owned bridges that are designated as structurally deficient and could be vulnerable in an earthquake or other disaster. To address as many bridge projects as possible, staff implemented a delivery strategy aimed at leveraging multiple funding opportunities, such as Measure T and the Highway Bridge Program federal-aid funding, which consists of Bridge Investment Credits.
HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
September 8, 2025
Subject: Status Report on the 2018 Ballot Measure T – The Disaster Preparedness, Public Safety, and Infrastructure General Obligation Bond
Caltrans has approved $3 million in Bridge Investment Credits for the City.
The City can use the credits as a matching fund for any future federal-aid bridge projects. Staff anticipates additional approval of approximately $1.7 million in 2025. Between 2018 and 2024, staff completed the rehabilitation work for 59 bridges and applied for Bridge Investment Credits upon completion of the projects. Currently, eight bridges under the Bridge Investment Credit program are in design and expected to begin construction in spring 2026.
Staff will be ready to apply for grant funds as soon as funding becomes available, as the bridge investment credits do not expire. Staff will continue to work with counterparts at Caltrans to maximize grant opportunities and advocate for the increased availability of program funds. New federal requirements on grants have recently been imposed, which may affect the acceptance and administration of Highway Bridge Program funds. Staff will coordinate with the City Attorney’s Office for further evaluation of future grant opportunities.
With the continuous uncertainty of the Highway Bridge Program, staff is shifting gears to focus on other bridge projects that pose a vulnerability to earthquakes. Staff has identified a specific criterion in spending the remaining Measure T funds. This includes prioritizing bridges that are vulnerable to earthquakes, projects that have quick turnaround to complete to ensure we meet the spend down requirement, and projects that are vehicular bridges.
Once those types of projects have been exhausted, staff will evaluate the next level of criteria in which bridges are in fair condition and/or non-vehicular bridges.
4) Light Emitting Diode (LED) Outdoor Lighting Projects
(a) City Facilities LED Lighting Projects –Table 1 below lists the city-owned facilities in conversion priority order, provides details about the total number of fixtures, as well as the number of fixtures that have been converted to date for each category utilizing Measure T funding. As staff evaluated the outdoor lighting inventory, the number of fixtures needing to be converted for City- owned facilities grew by over 1,000. In addition, the cost for the fixtures is higher than originally anticipated. Two alternative funding sources have been identified to ensure the remaining outdoor facility lights could proceed with being converted to LED. Staff was able to secure $500,000 from the Community Development Block Grant program through the Housing Department to address the exterior and interior lighting at the following 10 fire stations; 3, 5, 7, 16, 18, 20, 26, 30, 34, and 35. An additional $2.4 million was shifted from the LED Streetlights Conversion project to complete the conversion of all City facilities. This work is estimated to be completed by
HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
September 8, 2025
Subject: Status Report on the 2018 Ballot Measure T – The Disaster Preparedness, Public Safety, and Infrastructure General Obligation Bond
June 2026. Staff will continue to coordinate with project managers to ensure all new future developments are scoped to include the new LED lighting and controllers in the base design.

Number of Fixtures 8,014 828 8,842
*Lighting conversion funded by the Community Development Block Grant. All other conversions will be funded by Measure T.
(b) Lighting Controls for City Facilities – To date, there have been 5,566 nodes installed. Staff is working to install the remaining 3,276 nodes, for a total of 8,842 nodes citywide, of which Measure T has funded a large portion of these controllers. These nodes are currently being installed at the existing retrofitted sites listed in Table 1 as well as new City facility projects as they come online. There are roughly 1,100 exterior fixtures at new City facilities (i.e., the Emergency Operation Center, Fire Training Center, Municipal Water office buildings, new parks, and fire stations), and staff anticipates purchasing the remaining controllers as sites are completed and as funding is included in project budgets.
(c) LED Streetlight Conversion Projects – The majority of the streetlights have been successfully converted either by City crews or PG&E’s “Turnkey Conversion” project. There are roughly 3,000 lights remaining to be converted, which are unique ornamental, or post-top lights, primarily in the downtown neighborhoods and business districts.
With the completion of the PG&E streetlight inventory audit in July 2021, there is also a billing records review underway of over 27,000 streetlight records.
The billing records are reviewed as a joint effort with PG&E and City staff.
These efforts are anticipated to be confirmed by PG&E in fall of 2025, and it is likely to result in a decrease in the City’s streetlight inventory.
HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
September 8, 2025
Subject: Status Report on the 2018 Ballot Measure T – The Disaster Preparedness, Public Safety, and Infrastructure General Obligation Bond
A total of $2.4 million of the funding from the LED Streetlight Conversion project was reallocated as part of the 2024-2025 Adopted Budget to fund the completion of the LED conversion of the City-owned facility lighting. The total funding remaining within the LED Streetlight Conversion project is $5.3 million and will be utilized to convert the ornamental lights as the bulbs burn out. In total approximately 1,000 ornamental lights have been previously converted and since the last Measure T status update memo, the City crews converting the LED lights have been redirected to address copper wire theft and vandalism that became a high priority issue in 2024 with over 2,000 streetlights impacted. In addition, staff will continue to perform investigations to determine how many streetlight poles require ground wire within the system. Once those locations are determined, the work will fall into the deferred maintenance infrastructure backlog and funding will need to be identified.
5) Clean Water and Green Stormwater Infrastructure Projects – The Measure T program has dedicated $25 million for this category of projects. Each of the projects is being developed in conjunction with the Green Stormwater Infrastructure Plan that was approved by the City Council on September 10, 2019. A summary of current activities is below.
(a) River Oaks Regional Stormwater Capture Project – This project was awarded on June 13, 2023, to Andrew M. Jordan Inc., dba A & B Construction, in the amount of $10,999,618. The project has been completed and the ribbon cutting ceremony occurred in April 2025.
(b) Kelley Regional Stormwater Capture Project – This project will construct a treatment basin on 5.64 acres located in Kelley Park along Coyote Creek and Roberts Avenue, collecting and treating stormwater runoff from approximately 80 acres of the surrounding neighborhood. The project offers a high degree of water quality benefit addressing pollutant reduction, and trash reduction, while also expanding usable green space for the public. Staff began design in May 2024 and anticipates completion in fall 2025.
(c) Venetian Terrace Regional Stormwater Capture Project – Staff developed a feasibility study that identified five new regional stormwater capture projects. From these five sites, the Venetian Terrace Regional Stormwater Capture Project was prioritized to move forward. This project is located on an approximately 0.4-acre site on Rinconada Drive near Almaden Expressway and Curtner Avenue in Council District 9. The project involves installing a stormwater bioretention to treat stormwater runoff from the surrounding area.
The project is currently planned to feature park amenities for residential use.
This project is currently in design and is anticipated to start construction summer of 2026.
HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
September 8, 2025
Subject: Status Report on the 2018 Ballot Measure T – The Disaster Preparedness, Public Safety, and Infrastructure General Obligation Bond
Staff anticipates prioritizing one or two additional projects to proceed forward with using Measure T funding. Staff utilized approximately $12 million of Measure T funds for the River Oaks Regional Stormwater Capture Project and anticipates utilizing approximately $5 million for the Kelley Regional Stormwater Capture Project location and approximately $3 million for Venetian Terrace Regional Stormwater Capture Project. The program is expected to have approximately $2.5 million remaining, which will be reserved for the projects outlined above.
Staff will report back to City Council at a later date to propose a smaller regional project if any additional funding remains.
6) Storm Drain Improvement Projects for the Charcot Area – The Storm Drain Improvement Projects for the Charcot area will provide flood protection in the area east of Zanker Road between East Trimble Road and East Brokaw Road.
Originally envisioned as a new storm pump station at Charcot Avenue and Hartog Drive, this project was re-scoped to construct a new and less costly storm drain system that connects to the existing Rincon Pump Station II, which outfalls to the Guadalupe River. This revised project approach provides similar levels of flood protection while saving the City significant costs for building, operating, and maintaining a new pump station. The project will be constructed under two packages, due to its size and complexity. Package one will install approximately 4,200 linear feet of a combination of 54-inch fiberglass-reinforced concrete pipe and 72-inch to 96-inch diameter storm pipe along Charcot Avenue and Bering Drive. Package two will be designed to install approximately 3,100 feet of 60-inch to 96-inch diameter storm pipe along East Brokaw Road and Rodgers Avenue.
Package one alleviates approximately 60% of flooding in the area and package two will increase that by 20% by redirecting flow to the Rincon II Pump Station.
Package one was awarded to JMB Construction, Inc on June 18, 2024, in the amount of $18,180,425. This project began construction January 2025 and is anticipated to be complete the end of calendar year 2025. The delayed start of construction was due to material lead times. This project will be approximately 75% complete for the 2025 wet season. City staff will monitor the need for a temporary pump station at Charcot Ave and Hartog Drive to alleviate any potential flooding until the project is complete.
Package one will use all the available Measure T budget for this project. There is not sufficient funding available for the construction of Package two. Staff will complete package two design in December 2025 and construction will be on hold until funding is identified.
7) Environmental and Flood Protection Projects – On November 6, 2019, City Council approved the purchase of approximately 672 acres of real property in Coyote Valley.

8) Community Center/Emergency Shelters – The City Emergency Operations Plan includes the coordination of mass care and sheltering facilities. These facilities will be retrofitted to provide basic human needs, including food, water, shelter, and security. While the operation of an emergency shelter is considered an emergency protective measure under the Stafford Act, facilities identified for such a purpose are required to meet basic facility standards. These standards include per capita allowances for space, feeding, and personal hygiene.
The Priority 1 project, which includes the Roosevelt, Mayfair, Bascom and Seven Trees Community Centers, and the Priority 3 project, which includes the Berryessa, Almaden, and Evergreen Community Centers, are completed and the projects were accepted in March 2025. These facilities now meet the basic standards of an emergency shelter.
The Priority 2 project, which includes Camden Community Center, was awarded on June 18, 2024, to the lowest responsive bidder, City Building Inc., in the amount of $4,599,178. The project began construction in October 2024 and reached substantial completion and Beneficial Use at the end of August 2025.
Staff have allocated the remaining funding from this program to cover the additional electrical work at the Priority 1 and Priority 3 community center facilities. The scope of work consists of rewiring the fire alarm, telecom, and security systems to the emergency panels to ensure sites utilize a single temporary generator rather than multiple units. This project is currently in design and is anticipated to start construction summer of 2026 with final completion spring of 2027.
9) Public Art – The public art budget for each capital program is shown in Table 2 and included in the 2025-2027 Adopted Biennial Capital Budget and the 2026- 2030 Adopted Capital Improvement Program. The allocation for public art may be refined as the scopes for the projects are completed. The first public art project completed was an exterior ceramic mural and interior window treatment for Fire Station 37 by artist Sam Tubiolo. A major, flatscape sculptural artwork on the exterior of the Fire Department Training Center/Emergency Operations Center has also been completed by Bay Area artist Johanna Poethig, as well as the public art project for the interior of the building which is the permanent display of 31 original artworks created by local artists. Bay Area artist Gordon Huether’s site specific artwork for the Police Department’s Memorial to San Jose’s fallen Officers was completed in November of 2023. A memorial mural at the Mayfair Community Center has been completed by local artist Jessica Sabogal.
Additional public art projects are in the planning phase for Fire Stations 8, 32, and 36 as well as mural projects at parks and community center facilities.

EVALUATION AND FOLLOW-UP
Staff will provide City Council with the next bi-annual program update in spring of 2026.
COST SUMMARY/IMPLICATIONS
As the Measure T program evolves, project budgets are recommended for modification, as appropriate, as they proceed through site selection, design, and construction.
Attachment E – 2026-2030 Adopted Capital Improvement Program (CIP) – The 2026- 2030 Adopted Capital Improvement Program provides funding of $190.0 million, of which $142.1 million is allocated in FY 2025-2026 and $42.1 million in FY 2026-2027.
The full amount of $650 million in Measure T bonds have been issued ($239.9 million in 2019, $200.5 million in 2021 and $209.6 million in 2025).
Attachment F – Measure T Expenditures shows the actual year-to-date Measure T expenditures through June 2025. As previously discussed, the Program Reserve for Public Safety may not be sufficient to complete the remaining public safety projects.
Staff will need to prioritize the remaining public safety projects and identify program savings or identify other funding opportunities such as grants.
As noted in the 2026-2030 Five-Year Forecast and Revenue Projections, several of the Measure T projects will incur significant operating and maintenance costs in the future, including the new fire stations, the Police Training Center and corresponding activation of the South San José Police Substation, and the 9-1-1 Call Center Renovation. This would also necessitate adding staff in the Fire, Police, and Public Works Departments to support the additional facilities and expansions. Preliminary estimates in the forecast for the operating and maintenance costs for the Measure T projects coming online during the next five years and the activation of the Substation range from approximately $13 million in 2026-2027 to $28 million in 2029-2030 when the majority of the Measure T projects will be completed. Note that in the 2025-2026 Adopted Operating Budget, the full activation of Fire Station 32 and the subsequent activation of the South San José Substation previously anticipated in 2026-2027 after the Police Training Center came

online were deferred to resolve the General Fund shortfall this fiscal year and to partially resolve the shortfall in 2026-2027. The full activation of these two facilities will be re- evaluated in future budget cycles.
Projects will be brought forward for City Council certification prior to awarding a contract for construction or recommended for certification as part of the Proposed Capital Improvement Program process. In March 2008, the City Council approved Budget Principle #8 that stated capital improvement projects “shall not proceed for projects with annual operating and maintenance costs exceeding $100,000 in the General Fund without City Council certification that funding will be made available in the applicable year of the cost impact.” Annual costs for other Measure T projects, such as the upgrades at the Police Headquarters, will be brought forward as part of future budget processes once their scopes have been refined.
Aside from the operating and maintenance costs, future funding is required to outfit the new facilities with the necessary furnishings, fixtures, and equipment – including new fire apparatus – that are not eligible to be paid with Measure T general obligation bonds.
Based on very preliminary information, the furnishings, fixtures, and equipment that remain unfunded at this time are close to $9.0 million at Fire Stations 32 and 36 and the Police Training Facility and Academy, and funding would need to be identified within the next five years. It is anticipated that refinements of these estimates, as well as determining funding for furnishings, fixtures, and equipment, will be completed prior to bringing them forward for consideration by the City Council in any given year.
