Public Comment: Ashley Zerpa gave an organized presentation opposing the draft ordinance as too weak and urged stronger protections for historic resources, including 1989 survey properties. Thomas Maccarra urged the Council to protect San Mateo’s historic buildings for future generations. Michelle McCarr urged incorporation of the 1989 survey into the historic resources inventory and stronger review for eligible resources. Jay Cure urged the City to distinguish real historic resources from “fake history” and require proof of historic relevance. Lisa Vande Voorde said the ordinance was inconsistent with the General Plan because it did not meaningfully protect 1989 survey properties. Tom Lease urged the City to update the 1989 survey and treat those properties as landmarks in the interim. Laurie Watanuki urged additions to the Historic Context Statement and asked the City to investigate conservation overlays. Laurie Hietter opposed the draft ordinance, saying it reduced historic resource protections and did not adequately address the 1989 survey. Rich Hedges urged a logical approach focused on truly historic resources and cautioned that age alone does not make a property historic. Frank Elliott encouraged additional dialogue and compromise before litigation occurs. David Long urged the Council to return the item to staff and the Planning Commission with direction to strengthen definitions and standards. Jordan Grimes expressed concern that the ordinance could be used to block small-scale housing and urged continued work on unresolved issues. Diane Whitaker urged the Council to treat preservation as sustainability and incorporate the 1989 survey data into the official inventory. Connie Weiss urged the Council to direct staff to make stronger changes and include or update the 1989 survey. Kolja Schluetter opposed adding homes from the 1989 survey without re-surveying them under current standards and raised concerns about owner consent.

Council asked question of staff and consultants.
The City Council introduced an ordinance updating the Historic Preservation Ordinance and establishing a Historic Resources Inventory, introduced an ordinance establishing a Historic Resources Commission, and adopted resolutions approving the Citywide Historic Context Statement and updating the Mills Act Program.

Public Comment: Kevin Simpson opposed the project and urged greater investment in transit service across the San Mateo Bridge rather than freeway expansion.

1. Proposed Horizon Services Facility - Discussion
Chief Program Officer Derya Özeş provided the presentation on behalf of Horizon Treatment Services outlining the proposed project.
Public Comment: Two organized presentations were provided. Linda Sergeval spoke in support of the Mahler Road alternative and opposed the 101 N. El Camino Real location, citing site suitability, proximity to schools and homes, traffic, zoning, cost, and timing concerns. Kathryn Collins, representing Episcopal Day School, opposed the 101 N. El Camino Real location due to proximity to the school, outdoor student activity areas, potential drop-off activity, and unanswered operational questions.
Speakers in support of the 101 N. El Camino Real location: Robert Whitehair, Terry Whitehair, Krista Hansen, Carol Eldridge, Alan Wang, David Lim, Jessica Vacketta, John Ebnetter, Jordan Grimes, and Teresa Gebler.
Speakers supported the proposed location based on the need for behavioral health and substance use treatment services, compassion for individuals seeking recovery, confidence in Horizon’s operations, concern about stigma and fear-based opposition, and the view that treatment services should be integrated within the community.
Speakers opposed to the 101 N. El Camino Real location or supportive of an alternative location: Susan Schenkel, Lynn Scott, Joe Valponi, Tom Blake, Christina Johnson, Kevin Levy, David Long, Amy Wong, Susan Bardet, Gene Chan, Judy Yee, Kell White, Katherine Gerster, Andrew Lester, Anne Steinberg, and Brendan.
Speakers generally stated that they supported treatment services but opposed the proposed El Camino Real location due to concerns regarding traffic, pedestrian safety, proximity to schools and residences, neighborhood compatibility, facility scale, transparency, local zoning authority, potential operational impacts, and the availability of alternative sites, including Mahler Road.
Council Members asked questions of Horizon Services regarding client eligibility and screening criteria; voluntary versus involuntary participation; security and operational procedures; law enforcement referrals; facility licensing and regulatory oversight; community safety measures; transportation and drop-off activity; existing Horizon facility operations and outcomes; site selection considerations; and community outreach and engagement efforts.

This year’s annual Boards and Commissions recruitment marks the third full implementation of the City Clerk’s Office’s Outreach Success Plan, an initiative designed to expand public engagement and diversify the applicant pool. The 2026 Boards and Commissions recruitment cycle received 101 total applications, representing the second-highest application total since 2021 and continuing the strong participation levels established in 2025. Total applications increased significantly from 60 applications in 2024 to more than 100 applications in both 2025 and 2026, reflecting sustained community interest in civic engagement opportunities. Youth engagement saw substantial growth, with Youth Commissioner applications increasing from 20 in 2025 to 38 in 2026, nearly doubling year over year.
Key to this success was the launch of a targeted digital advertising campaign, including strategic social media placements and audio content, to raise visibility and drive traffic to the Boards and Commissions application portal. In tandem, the Clerk’s Office expanded its direct outreach to community-based organizations, ensuring that information about civic service opportunities reached a broader and more representative cross-section of San Mateo residents. The table below shows applications received per advisory body between 2021 and 2026.
BUDGET IMPACT:
There is no budgetary impact from this administrative action.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
These appointment recommendations are not a project subject to CEQA, because it is an organizational or administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5).)

BACKGROUND:
A general municipal election for the City of San Mateo is scheduled for November 3, 2026, per the City’s Charter. This is the City’s third district-based election for electing City Council members. Districts 1, 3, and 5 will hold their second elections by district during this election cycle. Districts 1, 3, and 5 held their first by district elections in 2022. A Resolution is provided with this report to call the election, request consolidation with the County for conducting the election, and to identify the three City Council Members whose seats term out December 7, 2026. The Council Members with terms ending are: Lisa Diaz Nash, Robert Newsom, Jr., and Adam Loraine.
The Election Services Agreement is still being finalized, with Attachment 2 reflecting the City's revisions, hence the broad delegation of authority sought from the Council.
BUDGET IMPACT:
The City Clerk’s Office has included a request of $348,416 for standard election costs in the proposed fiscal year 2026-27 budget. If approved, during June 15, 2026, budget adoption public hearing, the City will have sufficient costs to cover the costs of conducting the election. The Elections Services Agreement is included as Attachment 2.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
This action is not a project subject to CEQA, because it is an organizational or administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5).)

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY AGREED BY THE PARTIES HERETO AS FOLLOWS:
I. SERVICES TO BE PERFORMED BY THE MUNICIPALITY:

4) The Municipality will timely prepare and deliver to the Chief Elections Officer the ballot pamphlet information containing, as applicable, candidate designations and statements, ballot measure(s), tax rate statement(s), impartial analyses, arguments for or against measures and rebuttals thereto. 5) The Municipality will, if applicable, timely review and sign off on the official ballot wording for ballot measures. 6) The Municipality will timely complete any other non-delegable tasks required by law in relation to the Election. 7) The Municipality shall maintain records/maps regarding the boundaries of the Municipality and will notify the Chief Elections Officer of any changes/additions to those boundaries by 125 days prior to the Election. 8) If a candidate for a Municipality office alleges to be indigent and unable to pay in advance the requisite fee for submitting a candidate statement, the Municipality, as the applicable local agency, shall be solely responsible for determining whether the candidate is indigent pursuant to Elections Code section 13309. The Municipality shall notify the candidate, and inform the Chief Elections Officer, of the Municipality’s indigency determination, in writing, by no later than 64 days prior to the Election. If the Municipality determines that a candidate is indigent such that the candidate is eligible for an advanced candidate statement fee waiver under Elections Code section 13309, or if the Municipality fails to advise the Chief Elections Officer of its indigency determination by the specified deadline, then the Municipality shall be responsible for paying the candidate’s pro rata share of the cost of the candidate statement, which will be invoiced in accordance with the “Costs for Services” section of this agreement.

If the Municipality wishes to have any such duties performed by the Chief Elections Officer, the parties must mutually agree in advance in writing to have the Chief Elections Officer perform such duties.

Under the foregoing circumstances, the Chief Elections Officer may terminate this Agreement after giving 30 days written notice, at which time the Chief Elections Officer will be relieved of all obligations under this Agreement.

PREPARED BY: City Clerk's Office
MEETING DATE: June 15, 2026
SUBJECT:
Cablecasting and Channel Management Services – Agreement RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Resolution to use an alternative purchasing method to enter into an agreement with Millbrae Community Television (MCTV) for cablecasting and management of the City’s public, education, and government (PEG) channel, technology maintenance, and engineering support services in an amount not to exceed $57,000 per year for a three-year period beginning fiscal year 2026-27 through fiscal year 2028-29, with cost of living adjustments for a total amount not to exceed $166,000; establish a contingency reserve in the amount of $16,600; and authorize the City Clerk to execute the contract in substantially the form presented and issue change orders within the contingency amount.
BACKGROUND:
The City requires professional services to support the cablecasting and streaming of live, public meetings. Currently, City Council, Planning Commission, and Sustainability and Infrastructure Commission meetings are held in the City Hall Council Chamber, which is equipped with the technology necessary for concurrent online viewing and remote participation. The audiovisual facets of these public meetings are provided by Millbrae Community Television (MCTV), a 501(c)(3) non-profit community media center that provides local video production, livestreaming, and broadcast services for the City of San Mateo and other local agencies.
Since 2006, the City has contracted with MCTV to provide professional broadcast and operational support for the City’s public, education, and government (PEG) channel. MCTV has consistently delivered reliable meeting coverage, along with maintenance and technical support for the Council Chamber’s audiovisual system, including repairs, documentation, and on-call assistance. In January 2026, MCTV aided in the City Hall Council Chamber audiovisual upgrade effort and supported off-site broadcasting and streaming of public meetings at the San Mateo Main Library during the temporary Council Chamber closure. This partnership is critical to ensure continuity and efficient public meeting operations. In addition to routine meeting support, the City also engages MCTV for as-needed video production services to cover various City programs and events.
The proposed scope of work includes professional public meeting broadcasting, livestreaming, and playback administration, as well as comprehensive support for the PEG channel. The agreement term is three years. Based on MCTV’s specialized knowledge of the City’s equipment and systems, staff recommends the use of an alternative purchasing method to contract with MCTV. San Mateo Municipal Code Section 3.60.050(b) authorizes renewal without a competitive bidding process when bidding would be impracticable, unavailing, or impossible. Staff therefore recommends approval of an alternative purchasing procedure for this agreement to avoid potential service disruptions that could result from a transition, which would adversely impact the City’s ability to conduct, broadcast, and stream public meetings.
The contract includes cost-of-living adjustments of up to 3%, for a total contract amount not to exceed $166,000. A 10% 36 of 1101
CITY OF SAN MATEO
contingency of $16,600 is also recommended to account for the addition of unanticipated meetings, cloud applications and storage services, and potential additional video production services.
BUDGET IMPACT:
The City Clerk's Office has included a request for the proposed fiscal year 2026-27 to cover the costs of these services. A subsequent request for the required funds will be submitted for fiscal years 2027-28 and 2028-29. If approved, during the June 15, 2026, budget adoption hearing, the City Clerk's Office will have sufficient funds to cover the costs associated with the first year of this agreement.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
This agreement is not a project subject to CEQA, because it is an organizational or administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5).)

All meeting noticing requirements were met.

(MCTV) for Cablecasting, Channel Management, Maintenance and Engineering Support Services.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN MATEO, CALIFORNIA, HEREBY FINDS and RESOLVES that:
1. This agreement is not a project subject to CEQA, because it is an organizational or administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5).)

3. The agreement with MCTV for Cablecasting, Channel Management, Maintenance and Engineering Support Services, in the amount an amount up to $57,000 annually, with the total amount payable not to exceed $166,000 for three years is approved.

MEETING DATE: June 15, 2026
SUBJECT:
Communications Support Services — Amendment
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Amendment No. 1 to the agreement with Jeanne Sullivan Billeci for communications services in the amount of $60,000 for a new agreement total of $135,000 and extend the term of the agreement through June 30, 2028; and authorize the City Manager to execute the amendment in substantially the form presented.
BACKGROUND:
In recent years, prioritizing communications has become a greater focus for the City, with communications methods becoming more strategic over time. Over the last few years, that increased focus has been partially supported by outside consulting to support timely and impactful media relations, newsletter creation, informational campaigns, crisis communications, speechwriting and public messaging to be used in presentations, on the website, social media and in print. While the City has now employed a communications manager, the volume and complexity of the work continues to grow and would benefit from the continuation of additional capacity and specialized support to ensure timely, accurate and effective communication with the public.
Continued support would also allow more capacity for special project work, including communication of major transportation initiatives, marketing potentially revenue-enhancing parking availability and transparent communication around ongoing transportation safety initiatives and progress. Recent projects have illustrated the value of increased outreach and engagement, especially to reach diverse and historically underserved communities. This support would also allow capacity for expert oversight of communications projects to support the organization’s 12 distinct departments.
Jeanne Sullivan Billeci has more than 30 years of experience in strategic communications, media relations, crisis communications, executive coaching, and public information. She has lived and worked extensively on the San Francisco Peninsula and has provided communications support to the cities of San Mateo, Palo Alto, Redwood City, and Mountain View. Her work includes advising City Managers, department heads, elected officials and senior staff on communications campaigns, media interviews, public presentations, community engagement and sensitive public issues. Her background provides the City with added senior-level communications support, regional knowledge and the ability to communicate complex municipal issues clearly to the public.
An increase of $60,000 and extension of the term through June 30, 2028, is estimated to support these consultant services. Based on the above, staff recommends approval of Amendment 1 (Attachment 1) with Jeanne Sullivan Billeci, increasing the agreement amount by $60,000 for a total not-to-exceed amount of $135,000 and extension through June 30, 2028, in order to meet the City’s immediate volume and complexity of Citywide communications. To support the City's long-term communications needs, staff anticipate issuing a competitive Request for Proposals (RFP) for communications services prior to the expiration of the agreement (June 2028). 49 of 1101
CITY OF SAN MATEO
BUDGET IMPACT:
The professional services provided through this agreement will be absorbed by the communications and marketing budget allocated within the General Fund. No additional funds are needed at this time.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
This amendment is not a project subject to CEQA, because it is an organizational or administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5).)

Waiver of Subrogation
CONSULTANT hereby grants to City a waiver of any right to subrogation which any insurer of said CONSULTANT may acquire against the City by virtue of the payment of any loss under such insurance.

MEETING DATE: June 15, 2026
SUBJECT:
Fiscal Year 2026-27 General Liability and Property Insurance — Purchase Authorization RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize a staff committee comprised of the City Manager, the Finance Director, and the City Attorney to select the most cost-effective program to ensure the City's general liability, property risks, and Library; and authorize the City Attorney to execute all required documents to purchase the selected insurance for fiscal year 2026-27.
BACKGROUND:
For the past six years, the City Council has authorized a staff committee comprised of the City Manager, the Finance Director, and the City Attorney to select the most cost-effective program to ensure the City’s general liability and property risks and authorized the City Attorney to execute all required documents to purchase the selected insurance. The request for Council to authorize a committee in fiscal year 2020-21 was to allow the City to enroll in an organization called Public Risk Innovations, Solutions, and Management (PRISM), formerly known as the California State Association of Counties (CSAC) Excess Insurance Authority. PRISM is a joint powers authority comprised of dozens of government agencies that provides coverage up to $25 million above a $1 million Self-Insured Retention (SIR) per occurrence, and a $1 million Individual Member Corridor Deductible (IMCD) that erodes over the course of the fiscal year in exchange for a premium discount for the excess liability insurance policy.
The property insurance market has improved such that the premium for property insurance will likely be reduced by an estimated 19.1 percent. However, the premium for excess liability coverage will likely increase by an estimated 40.1 percent to 54.4 percent, primarily due to the challenging insurance market.

Total: $4,025,361 $5,033,674 $4,769,832 $5,255,263 18.5% 30.6% In February 2026, the City Attorney’s Office received the fiscal year 2026-27 Insurance Budget Estimates and PRISM Premium Estimates, followed by updated estimates in June 2026. Generally, the estimates are provided as a range rather than an exact number. For the purposes of this staff report, the renewal premiums listed above represent an average of the low and high budget estimates.
The premium for the APIP property renewal is $1,264,711 (the same as the budget low estimate), the crime insurance premium is $11,214 (marginally more than the budget low estimate) and this year's premium for the Library's DIC insurance coverage was renewed in March 2026 for $110,678. Additionally, the significant increase in the Excess Liability premium is at least partly attributable to the 12.8% increase in payroll. The Property, Boiler & Machinery, Environmental & Cyber premium also now includes the new Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP).
The renewal premium estimates currently total $5,033,674, which is below the budget high estimated total of $5,255,263.
Regardless, the staff committee is given broad authority to obtain insurance coverage even if the estimate is somewhat more than the budget high estimate.
The staff committee is recommending that Council authorize the committee to select the most cost-effective solution continuing into fiscal year 2026-27 as circumstances remain challenging and unusual. The City Attorney would then execute all of the documents necessary to obtain that insurance. Included in this evaluation would be liability insurance and property insurance (including insuring the City’s critical bridges), and excess cyber liability, if deemed necessary. In addition, the Main Library's Difference in Conditions (DIC) including Flood and Earth Movement/Building Ordinance/ICC/Demo coverage is renewed annually in March. This year's premium for the Library's DIC insurance coverage was renewed in March 2026 for $82,227 as noted above. The budget high estimate for this coverage is $90,450, which will be renewed in March 2027.
BUDGET IMPACT:
The City paid approximately $4,025,361 for general liability and property insurance (including bridges, cyber, and crime) for fiscal year 2025-26. The renewal premiums for 2026-27, including Library DIC, is estimated to be $5,033,674. The proposed fiscal year 2026-27 budget assumed $5 million for insurance premiums. While no modifications to appropriations are likely to be required, staff will return to the Council for a supplemental appropriation if necessary.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
This item is not a project subject to CEQA, because it can be seen with certainty that it will not cause a physical change in the environment. (Public Resources Code Section 21065.) 70 of 1101

PREPARED BY: Police Department
MEETING DATE: June 15, 2026
SUBJECT:
Juvenile Diversion Program Case Management Services – Agreement RECOMMENDATION:
Approve a two-year agreement with the County of San Mateo for reimbursement for case management services for the San Mateo Police Department Juvenile Diversion Program in the amount of $421,001; and authorize the Chief of Police to execute the agreement in substantially the form presented.
BACKGROUND:
In 2013, the San Mateo Police Department created a Youth Services Bureau and assigned personnel to focus on juvenile diversion. The Police Department is committed to youth and the desire not to unnecessarily introduce them into the juvenile justice system. Our Juvenile Diversion Program targets youth ages 11-17 that have either committed a minor offense or seem predestined to do so by current behavior. Each youth enters into an individualized contract based on specific needs. The contract may consist of school attendance requirements, counseling for the youth and their family, utilization of outside resources such as medical or mental health professions and community service. The goal of this extraordinary program is to intervene and assist at-risk youth, with the hopes of ultimately deterring them from the juvenile justice system, and keep them on track, in school, and positively engaged with their family and community.
In 2015, staff initiated a partnership with the Youth Services Bureau of the YMCA and the County of San Mateo for provision of a Juvenile Diversion Capstone Case Manager. The YMCA provides a skilled case manager who performs a multi-disciplinary assessment of the juvenile participants to determine the core cause of issues leading to their delinquency and develops strategies for rehabilitation. The services provided are multi-faceted and offer a culminating “capstone” experience for the youths in the program. The Case Manager has oversight of the juveniles and ensures a comprehensive plan tailored to the unique situation and circumstances is in place to address each participant’s individual needs. The City is currently contracted with the YMCA for provision of these services through FY27/28.
We are grateful that the County of San Mateo has recognized the value in our Diversion Program, as the program fills a gap in much needed services. Given that we are diverting youth out of their corrections and probation systems, the County has offered reimbursement to the City for expenditures related to the Case Manager since 2015. The proposed agreement affirms their willingness to fully reimburse the City for expenditures related to the case manager for the duration of the current contract with the YMCA – $207,715 for FY26/27 and $213,286 for FY27/28. It is the City’s policy that intergovernmental agency agreements be approved by the City Council. 72 of 1101
CITY OF SAN MATEO
BUDGET IMPACT:
Funding for the YMCA contract for case management services and the corresponding reimbursement revenue from the County has been planned for and included in the 2026-2028 Business Plan. The result is no net impact to the General Fund.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
This action is not a project subject to CEQA, because it can be seen with certainty that it will not cause a physical change in the environment. (Public Resources Code Section 21065.)

Agenda Number: 11 Section Name: CONSENT CALENDAR Account Number: 10-2021 File ID: 26-11227 TO: City Council
FROM: Alex Khojikian, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Finance Department
MEETING DATE: June 15, 2026
SUBJECT:
Fiscal Year 2026-27 General Obligation Bond — Adoption
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Resolution to levy the property tax rate of $0.0030 per $100 of assessed value, equating to $3.00 per $100,000 assessed value for fiscal year 2026-27, for the voter-approved General Obligation Bond annual debt service payment.
BACKGROUND:
General Obligation Bonds (GO Bonds) are typically issued to finance government improvements benefiting the community as a whole. These obligations require 2/3rd voter approval and are secured by an annual tax levy on all assessed property within a jurisdiction. Due to the strength of this security pledge, General Obligation Bonds are typically the lowest cost form of public financing.
In 1999, voters approved a $35 million bond issue to finance construction of a new main library and improvements to the City’s branch libraries. These bonds were issued in two series, $12 million in 2000 (GO Bonds, Series 2000) and the remaining $23 million in 2004 (GO Bonds, Series 2004A). The total outstanding balance of these two bonds as of June 30, 2012 was $29.16 million. In February 2013, City Council authorized the refinancing of these two bond issues. General Obligation Refunding Bonds, Series 2013, were issued for $27.295 million and resulted in net present value savings of $8.4 million over the life of the remaining outstanding bonds. Correspondingly, starting in 2014, this refinancing reduced the annual assessment rate paid by property owners by approximately 20%.
An annual Resolution is required to provide the County of San Mateo the authority to include this levy on the annual tax roll. The proposed tax levy for fiscal year 2026-27 is calculated to be $3.00 per $100,000 of assessed value. The rate is the same as the one levied in FY 24-25 and FY 25-26, but both rates represent a significant reduction from the prior year’s levies. City staff continue to recommend this reduction in the tax levy because the actual growth in the City’s assessed value has exceeded the projected growth in prior years. As a result, excess fund balance can be used to reduce this year’s tax levy.
The City’s total net taxable assessed valuation for fiscal year 2025-26 is $39.5 billion, compared to the prior year’s $38.1 billion. The levy rate for 2026-27 assumes a 3.2% increase in assessed value, bringing the total assessed value to $40.7 billion. This calculation of the tax levy is sufficient to meet debt service requirements as shown in Attachment 2.
As shown in Attachment 4, the outstanding principal of the GO Bonds, Series 2013, will be $7.88 million at the end of fiscal year 2026-27 and the final debt service payment will be made in fiscal year 2030-31.
BUDGET IMPACT:
The recommended General Obligation Bond tax rate of $0.0030 per $100 of assessed value for fiscal year 2026-27 is estimated to raise adequate funds to meet the annual debt service requirement for the General Obligation Refunding 85 of 1101
CITY OF SAN MATEO
Bonds, Series 2013, originally issued for library capital projects.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
This GO Bond Tax Rate Levy is not a project subject to CEQA, because it is a government fiscal activity which does not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment. (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4).)

RESOLUTION NO. ____ (2026)
FIXING THE 2026-2027 TAX RATE ON VOTER APPROVED GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS WHEREAS, adoption of California Constitution Article XIII A (Proposition 13) by the voters of the state on June 6, 1978 automatically established the property tax rate to be fixed without any action of this Council, as previously required by Charter Section 5.11 and California Government Code Section 51511, except voter approved bonds; and
WHEREAS, the City of San Mateo has voter-approved general obligation bonds outstanding, requiring revenues in the sum of $1,065,350 to pay interest and principal for fiscal year 2026-27, which will require a total tax rate of $0.0030 per $100 of assessed valuation for the Library Project on the estimated $40.7 billion of combined assessed value roll of secured property and state utility property; and WHEREAS, pursuant to California Constitution Article XIII A, all other revenue from property taxes required to balance the budget for the City of San Mateo are to be collected by the County of San Mateo at a tax rate of 1% of the full face value of real property located in the City of San Mateo ($1.00 per every $100 of assessed value) and apportioned to the City according to law, and no other tax rate is to be established by City.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN MATEO, CALIFORNIA, HEREBY RESOLVES AND ORDERS that:
1. In accordance with California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines section 15378(b)(4), levying of this tax rate is not a project subject to CEQA because it is a funding mechanism which does not involve any commitment to any specific project that may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment.
2. The rate of property tax to be levied by this Council for the fiscal year July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, upon each $100 assessed value of all taxable property within the City of San Mateo for the purpose of redemption of interest and principal on voter-approved general obligation bonds of the City, for the fund, is hereby fixed at:
General Obligation Bonds Fund – $0.0030 for the Library Project

MEETING DATE: June 15, 2026
SUBJECT:
Bay Meadows Community Facilities District – Special Tax Levy Fiscal Year 2026-27 – Adoption RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Resolution to authorize the levy of special taxes for Fiscal Year 2026-27 for the Community Facilities District No. 2008-1 (Bay Meadows).
BACKGROUND:
There are various annual reporting requirements, with different reporting deadlines, related to the City of San Mateo Community Facilities District (CFD) No. 2008-1 (Bay Meadows). The requirements include City Council approval of the “Annual Levy of Special Tax” Resolution authorizing the levy of special taxes within CFD No. 2008-1. The annual levy is necessary to pay debt service on the outstanding bonds and to pay for certain public services. Approval is due each year prior to the County of San Mateo’s July 31st deadline for the inclusion of such special taxes on the consolidated property tax bills pursuant to Government Code Section 53340 of the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 (the “Act”), or in the case of direct billing, at a different time or manner if necessary to meet its financial obligations.
CFD No. 2008-1 special taxes are for public facilities within the district that encompasses a planned 1,066 residential units (832 units on residential parcels and 234 units on mixed-use parcels), 68 below market-rate rental units, 770,000 square feet of office space, 85,000 square feet of retail space, 31,500 square feet of professional space above ground floor retail, and approximately 135,000 square feet of high school campus and commercial space. The special tax levy is authorized pursuant to Section 53340 of the Government Code and Ordinance No. 2012-1.
BUDGET IMPACT:
The special taxes being levied hereunder are at the same rate or at a lower rate than provided by the Ordinance. The total Fiscal Year 2026-27 Special Tax Levy for CFD No. 2008-1 is $5,225,733.73.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
This Bay Meadows Community Facilities District Levy is not a project subject to CEQA, because it is a government fiscal activity which does not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment. (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4).)

All meeting noticing requirements were met.

Agenda Number: 13 Section Name: CONSENT CALENDAR Account Number: 14-4682 File ID: 26-11144 TO: City Council
FROM: Alex Khojikian, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Public Works Department
MEETING DATE: June 15, 2026
SUBJECT:
Downtown Parking Equipment Network Hosting and Materials — Amendment RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Amendment No. 3 to the agreement with IPS Group, Inc. for parking equipment network hosting and materials to increase the agreement in the amount of $125,500 for a revised agreement total not to exceed $800,500, update pricing terms based on the consumer price index, and extend the agreement through December 31, 2026, with one optional sixmonth extension; and authorize the Public Works Director to execute the amendment in substantially the form presented and approve the optional extension.
BACKGROUND:
The Downtown Parking Technology project resulted in the installation of 119 multi-space pay stations and 386 single-space parking meters for the Downtown paid parking system. Funding for this project included $1.5 million from the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) and an additional $500,000 from Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement (CMAQ) funding, as well as $500,000 from City matching funds. In addition to pay stations and parking meters, the project included other parking technology improvements, such as real-time parking occupancy data for Downtown parking garages and wayfinding signage. IPS Group, Inc. installed the pay station and parking meter equipment and the City contracts with IPS Group, Inc. for hosting the network gateway and providing materials for maintenance as needed.
In June 2021, Council approved an agreement in the amount of $300,000 with IPS Group, Inc. to provide the monthly network hosting services required by the City's downtown parking revenue equipment, as well as for providing proprietary parts and materials on an as-needed basis to maintain the equipment in good working condition. This equipment includes all the parking meters and pay stations for the downtown parking program. The funding for the initial agreement also included payment of the credit card transaction fees for each user transaction utilizing credit card payment.
In April 2023, City Council approved Amendment No. 1 to the agreement to increase the total agreement amount by $100,000 to provide enough funding for additional credit card transaction fees through the original agreement duration.
On May 1, 2023, Council adopted the Fiscal Year 2023-24 Comprehensive Fee Schedule, which included that credit card transaction fees would be charged by the credit card provider to users beginning July 1, 2023.
In June 2023, City Council approved Amendment No. 2 to the agreement which extended the term of the agreement until June 30, 2026, and increased the amount of the agreement by $275,000 to add funds for network hosting and materials.
The total not-to-exceed amount for the additional term of the agreement took the reduction in costs from the credit card transaction fees into account.
98 of 1101
CITY OF SAN MATEO
Amendment No. 3 extends the agreement term through December 31, 2026, with one (1) optional six-month extension, updates the pricing terms to reflect the consumer price index, and increases the agreement amount by $125,500 to fund network hosting, materials, and required maintenance of the existing parking meters and pay stations during the extension period. Because the pay stations and parking meters are proprietary to IPS Group, Inc., compatibility with the existing system limits the number of vendors able to provide replacement equipment and related services. Authorizing the extension will provide operational continuity and ongoing technical support for the City’s existing parking infrastructure while staff assess future parking technology and service needs. This amendment brings the total not-to-exceed amount for the agreement to $800,500.
BUDGET IMPACT:
Funding for these services is budgeted for in the Downtown Services Operations budget and there are sufficient funds in the FY 2026-27 budget for this amendment.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
This City Council action approving an amendment to the agreement with IPS Group, Inc. is not a project subject to CEQA, because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that continuing monthly network hosting services and materials required by the City's downtown parking equipment may have a significant effect on the environment. (CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3).)

IPS Limited Warranty – Meters
IPS will provide a limited parts warranty for any new meter or sensor product manufactured and supplied by IPS for 12 months under normal use. The warranty protects against defects in materials and workmanship from the point of installation or 15 months from the date of delivery, whichever is sooner, and 90 days from the date of delivery received in the case of spare or repaired products. Software Services are provided “as-is” and IPS shall provide bug fixes at no cost during the contract term.
Additional Warranty Provisions: IPS must have the opportunity to assist in the initial deployment and system installation. Repair or replacement under warranty of any defective product (including any meter or subcomponent) does not extend the warranty period for that product or subcomponent. IPS will either repair or replace products or subcomponents, at our discretion, that are found to be defective within the defined warranty period, with transportation costs prepaid by the client. Returns for credit will only apply once IPS has received a defective product (including any meter or subcomponent) and confirmed that defects were within the warranty period and are covered under the terms and conditions of the warranty provided. IPS strongly recommends that clients pre-purchase spare parts inventory for immediate access. Defective parts can be replaced immediately from client stock and IPS shall replace such components upon receipt and determination of defect. On-site labor is explicitly not included in this limited warranty. Client shall be sufficiently trained to perform all on-site work, including meter or sub-component removal/replacement. IPS can provide additional on-site services under a separate maintenance agreement or quoted on an as-needed basis. THE WARRANTIES CONTAINED IN THE AGREEMENT DOCUMENTS ARE IPS’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE WARRANTIES. THE EXTENT OF IPS’S LIABILITY FOR A WARRANTY CLAIM IS LIMITED TO THE
REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF THE DEFECTIVE EQUIPMENT OR DEFECTIVE SERVICE OR SOFTWARE AT THE SOLE OPTION OF IPS. IPS AFFIRMATIVELY EXCLUDES ANY AND ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, CONDITIONS, OR
REPRESENTATIONS (EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ORAL OR WRITTEN), WITH RESPECT TO THE EQUIPMENT
AND/OR SERVICES OR SOFTWARE PROVIDED INCLUDING ANY AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR
CONDITIONS OF TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, OR FITNESS OR SUITABILITY FOR ANY PURPOSE (WHETHER OR
NOT IPS KNOWS, HAS REASON TO KNOW, HAS BEEN ADVISED, OR IS OTHERWISE IN FACT AWARE OF ANY SUCH PURPOSE) WHETHER ARISING BY LAW OR BY REASON OF CUSTOM OF THE TRADE.
Shipping: This warranty covers all return shipping to the client after any warranty work is completed. Shipping to IPS is paid by the Client.
Exclusions: Warranty voided with use of imitation or non-genuine IPS replacement parts, un-authorized alterations, abuse, vandalism, improper installation by client, handling or general misuse to the equipment (hardware or software), including attempted repairs that result in damage. Warranty specifically excludes any consumable items such as paper, batteries, etc. Software warranty is void if usernames and/or passwords are shared with 3rd parties, or allowance of 3rd party access to IPS software without IPS written consent. Force Majeure: IPS shall not be liable for any warranty provisions where such product failure is as a result of Acts of Nature (including fire, flood, earthquake, storm, hurricane or other natural disaster), war, invasion, act of foreign enemies, hostilities (whether war is declared or not), civil war, rebellion, revolution, insurrection, military or usurped power or confiscation, terrorist activities, nationalization, government sanction, blockage, embargo, labor dispute, strike, lockout or interruption or failure of electricity, internet services or cellular telecommunication failures caused by any of the events or causes described above. IPS provides no warranty with respect to any 3rd party hardware or software, whether supplied in connection with this Agreement or

otherwise. IPS is not liable in any way as a result of use or performance of client internet service or wireless data services provided by national carriers.
Preventative Maintenance: The primary operational elements will be a working battery, card reader, coin validator, and printer (if applicable). All product surfaces should be kept clean with mild soap and water. No harsh chemicals should be used on any plastic surfaces. The card reader heads should be cleaned with a cleaning card every 1-2 months to ensure optimum performance. Cleaning cards may be purchased from IPS. Batteries should be replaced when notified by the IPS Data Management System. At 6-month increments, the coin validator shall be visually inspected for any damage or debris. Compressed air may be used to keep the card reader, coin acceptor, or printer (if applicable) clear of debris every 6 months. Additional preventative maintenance shall be administered by client staff at such time as it is apparent to be necessary, even if it should occur on a more frequent basis than described herein.

Peninsula Heights Public Improvements — Adoption
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Resolution to accept public improvements in accordance with the Subdivision Improvement Agreements for Peninsula Heights with 2655 CAMPUS POP OWNER, LLC, 2755 CAMPUS POP OWNER, LLC, 2800 CAMPUS POP OWNER, LLC, and 2988 CAMPUS POP OWNER, LLC.
BACKGROUND:
The Peninsula Heights development, under Planning Application PA-2020-012, is a private development project creating a total of 74 single-family residential lots and 216 residential condominiums across the properties of 2655, 2755, 2800, and 2988 Campus Drive (Project).
City Council approved the Peninsula Heights Final Maps in two phases (South and North) and the associated subdivision improvement agreements for each. The first phase, South, is located at 2655 and 2755 Campus Drive, and the final map and subdivision improvement agreement were approved by City Council on February 6, 2023. The second phase, North, is located at 2800 and 2988 Campus Drive, and the final map and subdivision improvement agreement were approved by City Council on April 7, 2025. The subdivision improvement agreements allow for the deferral of the construction of the public improvements, that were required as conditions of approval and the vesting tentative map of the Project, until after the final maps are recorded.
Prior to the commencement of construction and per Section 14 of each subdivision improvement agreement, the subdivider was required to provide the City surety bonds totaling $1,389,549 for the South Phase and $939,000 for the North Phase. After receiving the surety bonds, the subdivider was issued encroachment permits for the construction of the public improvements.
On April 22, 2026, the Public Works Department certified the public improvements were satisfactorily completed and staff recommends that the City Council accepts the improvements pursuant to the Subdivision Improvement Agreements Section 24. Once accepted, the City will assume maintenance responsibilities of all public improvements except for the stormwater treatment measures and sidewalks, which will be maintained by the developer.
BUDGET IMPACT:
The City will assume maintenance responsibilities for all public improvements except for stormwater treatment measures and sidewalks. Ongoing costs for maintenance of the new improvements within the City right-of-way will be funded through the Public Works maintenance budget.

Fiscal Year 2026-27 Wastewater Treatment Plant Supply of Chemicals — Agreements RECOMMENDATION:
Award purchase contracts for chemical supplies necessary for the Wastewater Treatment Plant operations to the following suppliers: (1) Univar Solutions USA, LLC to supply sodium hypochlorite in the amount of $1,350,580; sodium bisulfite in the amount of $322,626.38; and sodium hydroxide in the amount of $434,253.13; (2) Kemira Water Solutions, Inc. to supply ferric chloride in the amount of $402,214.13; and (3) Pacific Star Chemical, LLC dba Northstar Chemical to supply citric acid in the amount of $56,128.00; establish a 10% contingency reserve for each purchase contract; and authorize the Public Works Director to execute the contracts in substantially the form presented and issue change orders within the contingency amounts.
BACKGROUND:
The Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) uses chemicals to treat wastewater in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements. The City is a member of the Bay Area Chemical Consortium (BACC), which conducts an annual competitive bidding process on behalf of its member agencies. The City participates in the BACC, along with other municipalities, to competitively bid the cost of chemicals needed during the wastewater treatment process. The BACC awards bidders that meet the specifications for bulk loads for the chemicals and submit the lowest overall bid price, assuming the bid is determined by the BACC to be complete and in compliance with the bid requirements.
Sodium Hypochlorite
The WWTP utilizes sodium hypochlorite as an oxidizing agent in the disinfection process. Disinfection is a requirement of the WWTP’s National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. This purchase contract provides for the supply and delivery of 350,000 gallons of this product. The BACC bid result for sodium hypochlorite is summarized below:
Contractor Bid Amount Contract Amount
Univar Solutions USA, LLC. $3.520 + 9.625% Tax $1,350,580 Olin Corporation $3.545 + 9.625% Tax $1,358,254
Pur Water, LLC $3.200 + 9.625% Tax $1,227,800
Durrani Investments Corp $3.200 + 9.625% Tax $1,227,800
The low bids of $3.20 per gallon from Pur Water, LLC and Durrani Investments Corp were rejected by the BACC due to the bidders being nonresponsive and not being in compliance with the bid requirements. Based on the lowest responsive bid of $3.52 per gallon, staff recommends awarding the purchase contract to Univar Solutions USA, LLC. for the supply of sodium hypochlorite. The purchase contract term is 12 months, and the price is to remain firm for the entire period. 191 of 1101

The BACC bid result for sodium bisulfite is summarized below:
Contractor Bid Amount Contract Amount
Univar Solutions USA, LLC. $1.635 + 9.625% Tax $322,626.38 Thatcher Company of California, Inc. $2.090 + 9.625% Tax $412,409.25 Heimburger and Company $1.525 + 9.625% Tax $300,920.63
The low bid of $1.525 per gallon from Heimburger and Company was rejected by the BACC due to the bid being nonresponsive and not meeting specifications. Based on the lowest responsive bid of $1.635 per gallon, staff recommends awarding the contract to Univar Solutions USA, LLC. for the supply of sodium bisulfite. The purchase contract term is 12 months, and the price is to remain firm for the entire period.
Ferric Chloride
The WWTP utilizes ferric chloride for the control of hydrogen sulfide, a flammable gas produced in the anaerobic digestion process. Managing the sulfur content of combusted digester gas is a requirement of the WWTP’s Bay Area Air District permit. This purchase contract includes the supply and delivery of an estimated 300 dry tons of product. The BACC bid result for ferric chloride is summarized below:
Contractor Bid Amount Contract Amount
Kemira Water Solutions, Inc. $1,223 + 9.625% Tax $402,214.13 Pencco, Inc. $1,454 + 9.625% Tax $478,184.25
Thatcher Company of California, Inc. $1,350 + 9.625% Tax $443,981.25
Based on the low bid of $1,223 per dry ton, staff recommends awarding the purchase contract to Kemira Water Solutions, Inc. for the supply of ferric chloride. The term of the contract is 12 months, and the price is to remain firm for the entire period.
Sodium Hydroxide

Wastewater Treatment Plant Biosolids Hauling and Disposal — Change Order RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Contract Change Order No. 4 to an agreement with Synagro-WWT, Inc. for Wastewater Treatment Plant biosolids hauling and disposal services to exercise a one-year extension in the amount of $850,000, for a revised total contract amount not to exceed $3,644,250; and authorize the Public Works Director to execute future change orders and extensions within the contingency balance.
BACKGROUND:
The wastewater treatment process produces biosolids, which are hauled off-site for routine disposal. The Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) estimates 10,000 tons per year of biosolids require hauling and disposal.
In June 2022, a three-year agreement was executed with Synagro-WWT, Inc. in the amount of $1,824,250 to haul and dispose of the WWTP’s biosolids. The agreement included two optional one-year extensions, which may be executed by the City at its discretion. The agreement was awarded in accordance with Municipal Code section 3.60.030, wherein a competitive public process was used to obtain bids for this service.
Change Order No. 1 was executed in May 2024 to cover increased hauling costs for the second year of the three-year agreement, increasing the agreement by $100,000 for a revised total agreement cost of $1,924,250. Change Order No. 2 was executed in April 2025 to cover increased hauling costs for the third year of the three-year agreement, further increasing the total by $120,000 for a revised total amount of $2,044,250. The WWTP has two digesters; however, Digester No. 2 has been out of commission for repairs, resulting in increased biosolids production. The increase in biosolids production necessitated the execution of Change Orders No. 1 and 2. Change Order No. 3 was executed in July 2026 to exercise the first of two optional one-year extensions, further increasing the total by $750,000 for a revised total amount of $2,794,250.
Contract Change Order No. 4 will authorize the second and final optional one-year extension with the term of the agreement ending on June 30, 2027. Council’s original action in June 2022 included authorizing the two optional one-year extensions at a cost of $610,000 each. Per the original agreement, the unit price fees past the original three-year term are subject to escalation based on the rate of the published consumer price index (CPI) for the applicable period. In addition to adjusting for CPI, staff is estimating continued increased biosolids hauling needs as Digester No. 1 will be out of commission for the upcoming fiscal year to execute critically needed maintenance, resulting in $850,000 being requested for this one-year extension as part of Contract Change Order No. 4.
Staff recommends approval of Contract Change Order No. 4 in the amount of $850,000 to address expected increased biosolids production due to one digester being out of service and the new WWTP processes, which result in more solids 278 of 1101
CITY OF SAN MATEO
being sent to the digesters for processing.
BUDGET IMPACT:
Funding for biosolids hauling and disposal services are budgeted annually in the Wastewater Treatment Plant Operations operating budget. Pending approval and adoption of the 2026-27 Operating Budget, sufficient funds will be available to fund this change order to extend services through June 30, 2027.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
This agreement is categorically exempt from CEQA as an “existing facility,” because it consists of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use. (CEQA Guidelines Section 15301.)

You are hereby directed to make the herein described changes from the plans and specifications or do the following described work not included in the plans and specifications on your contract.
DESCRIPTION OF WORK
The wastewater treatment process produces biosolids, which are hauled off-site for disposal on a routine basis at a current cost of $79.90 per wet ton.
This CCO is to execute the second term extension of two optional one-year extensions for Wastewater Treatment Plant biosolids hauling and disposal for a new end date of 6/30/27.

SUBJECT:
Wastewater Treatment Plant Supply of Liquid Emulsion Polymer – Agreement RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Resolution to approve an alternative purchasing procedure and award a purchase contract to Polydyne, Inc. for the supply of liquid emulsion polymer in the amount of $548,973.94; establish a contingency reserve in the amount of $54,900; and authorize the Public Works Director to execute the contract in substantially the form presented and issue change orders within the contingency amount.
BACKGROUND:
The Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) uses liquid emulsion polymer for the dewatering of biosolids. Polymer is a critical component of the dewatering process. Lowering the water content in biosolids reduces the transportation costs associated with hauling and disposal.
The current supplier, Polydyne, Inc. (Polydyne), has provided proprietary-blended polymers that have been tested and optimized for the WWTP’s biosolids. Staff recommends the continued use of these same polymer blends, Clarifloc WE2948, WE-1273, and WE-1728, from Polydyne since they have consistently demonstrated superior performance and produce the necessary results needed to maintain operations at the WWTP. The testing of different polymer blends from other chemical vendors would be a time and labor-intensive task which may not produce beneficial results.
San Mateo Municipal Code section 3.60.050(b) authorizes procurement without competitive bidding procedures when calling for bids is impracticable, unavailing, or impossible. A contract with Polydyne is appropriate pursuant to these standards as Polydyne is the sole source provider of its polymer blend, Clarifoc WE-2948, WE-1273, and WE-1728.
Polydyne has provided a quote for $1.89 per pound, plus tax, which is the same pricing as last year. Therefore, staff recommend the purchase of polymer from Polydyne.
The contract includes the supply and delivery of 264,960 pounds of the chemical product.
Contractor Quote Amount Contract Amount
Polydyne, Inc. $1.89 + 9.625 % Tax $548,973.94
The unit price bid for Polydyne was $1.89 per pound. The term of the contract is 12 months, and the price is to remain firm for the entire period. Including sales tax and tariffs, the total cost to the City is $548,973.94. Staff recommends a contingency of 10% to address any changes in the quantity of polymer needed with one digester out of service and the new wastewater treatment plant processes, both of which result in increased biosolids production. 281 of 1101
CITY OF SAN MATEO
BUDGET IMPACT:
Funding for the supply of chemicals is budgeted annually in the WWTP operating budget.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
This Council action is not a project subject to CEQA, because the purchase of liquid emulsion polymer to maintain WWTP operations is a continuing maintenance activity involving the purchase of supplies. (CEQA Guidelines Sections 15378(b)(2).)

Agenda Number: 18 Section Name: CONSENT CALENDAR Account Number: 82-4681 File ID: 26-11244 TO: City Council
FROM: Alex Khojikian, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Public Works Department
MEETING DATE: June 15, 2026
SUBJECT:
Senior Center Roof Improvements Project — Agreement
RECOMMENDATION:
Award an agreement to Fog City Roofing & Construction, LLC for construction on the roof at the Senior Center in the amount of $249,069; establish a contingency reserve in the amount of $25,000; and authorize the Public Works Director to execute the contract in substantially the form presented and issue change orders within the contingency amount.
BACKGROUND:
The Senior Center has served the community for over thirty-five years. The building’s roof structure consists of flat gravel and sloped wood shingle. The wood shingle has been subjected to decades of moisture and leaks, which have been an ongoing issue at the facility for years. In 2023, a Citywide roof assessment identified this specific location as a potential health and safety risk due to the compromised roof structure. Therefore, funding for this project was provided in Fiscal Year 2025-26.
In February 2026, the City engaged Bartos Architecture, Inc. to produce design specifications related to the roof improvements as required by the California Building Code. The bid documents for this project were subsequently advertised in April 2026. Bids were received on May 12, 2026, with the following results:
Company Bid Amount
Fog City Roofing & Construction, LLC $249,069
RK Roofing & Construction $289,000
State Roofing Systems $312,646
ALCAL Specialty Contracting $503,236
Stronger Building Services $520,000
Staff recommends the agreement be awarded to Fog City Roofing & Construction, LLC as the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Staff also recommends a 10% contingency because of expected unknown conditions that will be uncovered during construction given the age and condition of the existing roof.
BUDGET IMPACT:
The Citywide Facility Roof Replacements Project (46F056) currently has sufficient capital budget to fund this construction contract and contingency reserve.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
299 of 1101
CITY OF SAN MATEO
This project is categorically exempt from CEQA as an “existing facility,” because it consists of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use. (CEQA Guidelines Section 15301.)

354 of 1101
parapet walls a minimum & maximum of 2-inches. (Notes: (1.) No S/A membrane shall be visible after the (N) coping is installed. (2.) Securely fasten / attach the (N) sheet metal coping to the parapet walls in a manner consistent with good roofing practice.) G. Allow roof and other prepared surfaces to dry completely before proceeding with coating application.
H. Protect all adjoining areas that are not to receive the fluid-applied roof coating system and provide a suitable work station to mix the coating materials as required.
3.02 Surface Examination (Prior to commencement of any spray coating application) A. A nuclear scan, infrared scan or multiple and random probes into the (E) roof system using a Demhorst moisture meter must be performed, and any wet or moist roofing substrate must be removed and replaced. (Note: The moisture scan or physical moisture probes must be prescheduled and witnessed by the manufacturer’s representative and, or, the owner’s representative.)

3.03 Application of New Elastomeric Sprayed Coatings
A. Application of Aliphatic Urethane Base Coat (Leveling & Priming)
1. To a clean, properly prepared and dry roof surface, spray apply the U95 aliphatic urethane coating over the prepared roof surface as follows:
Urethan Base Coat: Apply U95 urethane coating at a rate of 5-gallons per 100 square feet to yield a uniform thickness of 80 wet mils / 60 dry mils in strict accordance with procedures outlined by Gaco, Inc. (See wet/dry mil chart.) Carry a base coat up all pipe protrusion and walls. ** Allow the U95 base coat to cure a minimum of eighteen (18) hours between coats or until it can be walked on. (**Note: The thickness of 48 wet mils / 36 dry mils, equating to an application rate of 3-gallons per 100 square feet.) B. Application of Polyurea Mid-Coat
1. To a clean, dry roof surface, spray apply the U98782 polyurea coating over the aliphatic urethane base coat as follows:
Polyurea Coat: Apply U8782 Polyurea Hybrid fast set coating at a rate of two (2) gallons per 100 square feet to obtain a 32 mil Wet Film Thickness (WFT) / 32 mil Dry Film Thickness (DFT). Coat 355 of 1101
356 of 1101
all surfaces including expansion joint covers and flashing. At all perimeter edges and penetrations an extra pass must be applied.
Note: Additional coats of material may be required over rough or granular surfaces to achieve the overall minimum dry film thickness (DFT) requirement. Modified bitumen & built-up roofs have varying degrees of cracks in the surface of the asphalt and bleed-out at seams. With this application it is highly recommended that a test patch be installed to determine how much coating will be needed because asphalt roof surface profiles vary due to weathering and other factors. Applications that do not meet the minimum DFT will not be eligible for coverage under the labor and material warranty provided b the manufacturer. Requirements: It is important to apply the subject coatings in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s guidelines to achieve the specified manufacturer’s warranty and the owner will not allow or accept any deviation that is “less” than the manufacturer’s guideline thickness. (Note: U8782 must be coated within the same day of application. If this timeframe is exceeded, GacoFlex E5320 2-part Epoxy Primer/Filler must be applied at a rate of one (1) gallon / 600-800 square feet to produce 1-2 mil DFT. For rough surfaces, apply the epoxy primer/filler at a rate of one (1) gallon / 250 square feet to produce 1-2 mil DFT. Do not over-apply. When properly mixed and spray applied, E5320 Primer should remain a translucent pink color in its cured state. Allow primer to cure for a minimum of six (6) hours (longer in overcast or humid conditions) before proceeding to the next step in the coating application process. Also, granular and rough surfaces may require more material to achieve minimum mil thicknesses. Application below the minimum mil thicknesses can cause adhesion failure which would result in a non-warrantable application.
C. Application of S4300 Silicone Top Coat (Reflective Surface Coating)
1. To a clean, dry roof surface, spray apply and back-roll the S4200 Silicone Coating over the polyurea mid-coat as follows:
Silicone Top Coat: Apply the S4200 Silicone topcoat at a rate of 2.50 gallons per 100 square feet to yield a uniform thickness of 35+ wet mils / 32+ dry mils in strict accordance with procedures outlines by Gaco, Inc. (See wet/dry mil chart.) Carry top coat up all pipe protrusions and walls. If multiple coats are required, allowed each coat to cure a minimum of eighteen (18) hours between coats or until it can be walked on.
3.04 Field Quality Control
A. Manufacturer’s Field Services: Inspection by the coating manufacturer’s representative is required to verify the proper installation of the system. Any areas that do not meet the minimum standards for application as specified herein shall be corrected at the contractor’s expense. Manufacturer’s inspection or verification shall not constitute acceptance of responsibility for any improper application of material.
3.05 Cleaning
A. Manufacturer’s Field Services: Inspection by the coating manufacturer’s representative is required to verify the proper installation of the system. Any areas that do not meet the minimum standards for application as specified herein shall be corrected at the contractor’s expense.

3.06 Protection
A. Surfaces not intended to receive the roof coating system shall be protected during the application of the system. Should this protection not be effective any respective surfaces shall be restored to their proper conditions by cleaning, repairing or replacing. All debris from completion of work shall be completely removed from the project site. 357 of 1101
358 of 1101
3.07 Special Instructions

The hard rubber sleepers shall be fitted with an integral Unistrut clamping device. The hard rubber blocking shall be positioned on the roof surface per any applicable code requirements but only after all the roof rehabilitation procedures have been completed and all of the new roof coatings have been applied and are thoroughly dry / cured.
B. Any (E) roof anomaly in the (E) roof field membrane, e.g., blisters, dry voids, mole runs, membrane ruptures or splits, shall be repaired per NRCA and manufacturer guidelines as part of the roof rehabilitation work prior to any spray applications / coating applications. Note: An attempt will be made to identify and mark all roof anomalies with orange paint that need to be corrected. However, prior to the commencement of any spray coating, one last inspection of the (E) roof surface shall be conducted to identify and additional membrane blisters that may have been missed in a previous inspection so that they can also be repaired prior to spray application of any (N) coating.

5. New Wood must be dry, free of grease, oil mildew, mortar and asphalt spatters and mill glaze. Rough surfaces are to be sanded smooth. Cracks are to be caulked ; door and window trim and joints are to be caulked after surfaces have been primed so as to create a “sandwich” effect between the caulking/putty and the primed substrate. Nail holes are not to be filled. Painting is not to be done during or immediately following foggy, rainy or frosty weather, nor when the temperature is expected to go below 50F before the coating has dried. Avoid painting surfaces while they are exposed directly to the hot sun, and refrain from painting during windy or threatening weather. Pressure treated wood (PTW) must be tested prior to coating to determine proper penetration of coating. Surface must be sprinkled with water to determine absorption into substrate.
If water drops remain on PTW surface, do not paint. If water penetrates immediately into the surface, prepare surface as you would any wood and then prime. Smooth planed clapboards or siding must be sanded thoroughly with 80 grit sandpaper to remove the “mill glaze” to allow proper penetration and adhesion of the paint coating.
If mildew is evident, it must be removed by scrubbing with a commercial mildew wash formulated for this purpose. Caution: Follow manufacturer’s directions; wear rubber gloves, work goggles and protective clothing.
(a) All timber delivered to the job site shall be tested with a moisture meter. All wood testing at or below 18% moisture content shall be immediately primed.

FROM: Alex Khojikian, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Public Works Department
MEETING DATE: June 15, 2026
SUBJECT:
Martin Luther King Jr. Park Emergency Field Lighting Equipment — Purchase Agreement RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Resolution approving an alternative purchasing procedure to award a purchase agreement with Stuart C. Irby Company, LLC to provide emergency field lighting equipment to the Martin Luther King Jr. Park in an amount not to exceed $102,764.67; establish a contingency reserve of $10,000; and authorize the Public Works Director to issue change orders within the contingency and execute the agreement in substantially the form presented.
BACKGROUND:
The Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK) Recreation Center is located in the North Central neighborhood and is home to many youth activities including the Police Activities League, drop-in basketball, several dance and fitness classes, and a swimming pool. The building, surrounding park, and lighted ball fields were constructed in 1968. The existing system does not include emergency lighting capable of activating during sudden power outages, resulting in a loss of visibility. In response, the City initiated and funded a Citywide capital improvement project in 2024 to design and install emergency field lighting, starting at MLK Park. The purpose of the project is to provide reliable illumination during power outages or other critical situations in order to maintain safety, visibility, and operational continuity. The improvements will support safe pedestrian movement, reduce the risk of accidents, assist emergency response activities, and help ensure orderly evacuation and security management when standard lighting systems are unavailable.
In 2025, the City retained an electrical engineering consultant to evaluate the operational and safety requirements of MLK Park and to prepare technical specifications for an emergency field lighting system capable of providing immediate and reliable illumination during unplanned power outages. The evaluation considered several critical factors, including compatibility with the existing electrical infrastructure, illumination performance standards for outdoor recreational facilities, emergency power transfer capabilities, durability in exterior environments, remote monitoring functionality, maintenance requirements, and compliance with applicable electrical and safety codes. Based on this assessment, the consultant determined that the required system must integrate with specialized proprietary controls and equipment designed specifically for rapid response emergency lighting applications in large outdoor athletic facilities. The identified system is manufactured and distributed through a limited network of certified vendors authorized to supply the equipment. At this time, only three vendors have been identified as qualified and certified providers capable of meeting the City’s technical specifications and operational requirements.
Due to the proprietary nature of the system, the limited availability of certified providers, and the need to ensure compatibility, reliability, and manufacturer-supported installation and maintenance, the City has determined that conducting a traditional competitive public bidding process would not produce a meaningful competitive outcome.
Instead, such a process would likely delay implementation of a critical public safety improvement without increasing competition or reducing costs. Accordingly, pursuant to Municipal Code Section 3.60.050(b), the City finds that a formal 419 of 1101
CITY OF SAN MATEO
public bidding process is impracticable and unavailing under these circumstances. In May 2026, the City requested quotes from the three (3) certified vendors, resulting in the following responses:
Stuart C. Irby Company, LLC: $102,764.67
JAM Services, Inc.: $105,360.59
AZCO Supply $112,706.56
All quotes received include sales tax and freight. Therefore, staff recommends purchasing the emergency lighting equipment from Stuart C. Irby Company, LLC, as they provided the lowest quote. The contingency amount of $10,000 accounts for potential price fluctuations due to the current tariffs in place during the procurement process. The installation of the emergency lighting system will be performed by the City's electrical contractor under an existing blanket Purchase Order.
