The Union City Council abides by the following norms:

1. We conduct ourselves in a professional manner, treat everyone with respect, and act with high integrity, always putting the interests of the City of Union City ahead of self-interests in accordance with our code of ethics.

2. We respect the Council-Manager form of government, and do not interfere with the City Manager's role or any professional duties of City staff.

3. We recognize that matters of confidential nature are to be kept private and undisclosed.

4. We respect each other's opinions and are supportive of each other's work advocating for the City, and we ensure that all voices are heard. We do not criticize others for having a different point of view, and we agree to disagree respectfully.

5. We understand that the City Council acts as a body, all members are equal, and policy direction is only given by a majority vote of the City Council. Once a decision is made, all members of the City Council must respect the City Council's direction.

6. We will be prepared for City Council meetings and ask our questions of the City Manager in advance so we can avoid surprising City staff at meetings.

7. We do not criticize City staff publicly or to others and will refrain from directing them. Instead, we will take our concerns and questions privately to the City Manager.

8. We will govern on an at-large basis, although elected by districts. We will maintain a citywide perspective and consider the needs and interests of the entire community.

9. We will continue to allocate resources based on long-term strategic priorities and efforts, with consideration of citywide service levels and financial capacity.

10. We understand customer service is the priority and each member of the City Council will help constituents regardless of the district in which they reside or from which a Councilmember themselves is elected.

11. We recognize the significant importance of attendance and participation at City Council meetings in proceeding with City business. All members of the City Council should endeavor to miss no more than two regular meetings per calendar year absent extraordinary circumstances. Members of the City Council should, absent unforeseen circumstances, provide a minimum of sixty days' notice to the City Council of planned absences during the Good of the Order or Items Referred by Council portion of the City Council agenda, as appropriate.

May these Council Norms be administered and enforced in the following manner:

1. Councilmembers have the primary responsibility to assure that ethical standards are understood and met by the Council, and that the public can continue to have full confidence in the integrity of government.

2. The Mayor and the Council have the responsibility to intervene when action of its members are in violation of Council Norms.

3. The City Council can review and revise the Council Norms as needed.

City Council Staff Report Page 1 of 3 September 23, 2025 Agenda Item No. 4.4
DATE: September 23, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Jennifer Phan, Deputy City Manager
SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute the Third Amendment to the Consulting Services Agreement with 4Leaf, Inc., in the Amount of $100,000, for a Total Not-to-Exceed Amount of $274,950, for Encroachment Permit Inspection Services

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute the Third Amendment to the Consulting Services Agreement with 4Leaf, Inc., in the amount of $100,000, for a total not-to-exceed amount of $274,950, for Encroachment Permit Inspection Services.

STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
This agenda item is in alignment with the following:

Goal D: Create a healthy, sustainable community and maintain and improve the City’s Infrastructure.

BACKGROUND
The inspection staff of the Public Works Engineering Division consists of a team of three employees: a Supervising Construction Inspector, a Lead Construction Inspector, and a Public Works Inspector. The Public Works inspection staff monitors construction of various projects to ensure they meet City engineering standards and are built to City specifications.

Additionally, the inspection staff oversees all the encroachment permit work done in the City. The City requires utility companies and development contractors who construct utility, traffic signal, roadway, or sidewalk improvements within the City’s public right of way to get an Encroachment Permit to ensure that proposed improvements meet the City’s design criteria and standard details. In the past three years, the City has issued over one thousand and eighty-eight (1,088) Encroachment Permits totaling over $1,293,000 in revenue. The significant revenues generated are deposited into the General Fund.
39 of 303
Agenda Item No. 4.4
City Council Staff Report Page 2 of 3 September 23, 2025 Because the combined number of projects in progress and the volume of encroachment permit inspections continually exceed the current capacity of in-house staff, on August 26, 2024, the City entered into a Consulting Services Agreement with 4Leaf, Inc. (“4Leaf”), in the amount of $74,950. On December 10, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 6413-24, approving the First Amendment to the Consulting Services Agreement to increase the agreement amount by $100,000. Subsequently, on July 1, 2025, the Second Amendment to the Consulting Services Agreement was executed to extend the term of the agreement to July 30, 2026.

DISCUSSION
There are currently several significant projects, including the following Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) and land development projects, in construction:
 Union City Boulevard Bike Lanes Project
 Annual Sidewalk, Curb & Gutter, and Ramp Repair Project  Installation of Full Trash Capture Devices
 Various City-Owned Building Repairs and Renovations (City Hall Workstation Modernization, Corp Yard Battery Electric Bus Charging Infrastructure, etc.) Staff are also continuing to conduct encroachment permit inspection work, including a major water main improvement project along H Street, G Street, and 13th Street by the Alameda County Water District.

Additionally, the following CIP projects are either due to begin construction or due to be sent out to bid soon:
 Citywide Street Pavement Rehabilitation Project
 Dyer Street Pavement Rehabilitation Phase II
 Kennedy Park Improvement Project
 Citywide LED Conversion Project
 Holly Center Modernization
Staff is satisfied with the performance of 4Leaf and considers their role essential to maintaining the level of service that the Engineering Division needs to provide, especially given the currently increased volume of projects and encroachment permit inspection work.

FISCAL IMPACT
The Third Amendment to the Consulting Services Agreement with 4Leaf, Inc., in the amount of $100,000, will be funded with General Fund funds (Account Number 110- 33003-54110), as identified in the Biennial Budget for Fiscal Years 2025-2026 & 2026- 2027, adopted by the City Council on June 24, 2025.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute the Third Amendment to the Consulting Services Agreement with 4Leaf, Inc., in the amount of $100,000, for a total not-to-exceed amount of $274,950, for Encroachment Permit Inspection Services.

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Jennifer Phan, Deputy City Manager
SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute Task Order 16 to the Joint Powers Agreement with the City of Fremont for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Paratransit Services to be Provided by the City of Fremont Human Services Department’s Ride-On Tri-City! Program, Funded Through Alameda County Transportation
Commission Measure BB Direct Local Distribution Funds

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute Task Order 16 to the Joint Powers Agreement with the City of Fremont for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Paratransit Services to be provided by the City of Fremont Human Services Department’s Ride-On Tri-City! Program, in an amount not-toexceed $155,000, funded through Alameda County Transportation Commission Measure BB Direct Local Distribution funds.

STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
This agenda item is aligned with the following:

Goal D: Create a healthy, sustainable community and maintain and improve the City’s Infrastructure.

BACKGROUND
Since 2017, the City of Fremont’s Ride-On Tri-City! (ROTC) Program has provided paratransit services for Union City residents under a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) between the City of Fremont (Fremont) and the City of Union City (Union City). The current JPA with Union City was made pursuant to applicable State law and does not create a separate legal entity. Rather, the JPA allows Union City seniors and individuals with disabilities to receive Ride-Hailing services and Wheelchair Accessible Van (WAV) services through Fremont’s ROTC Program, and for Union City to reimburse Fremont for these services.

Under the existing JPA between Fremont and Union City, paratransit services are provided in accordance with individually issued task orders. This flexible structure allows new task orders to be executed as needed, such as on an annual basis, to allow for 46 of 303
Agenda Item No. 4.5
City Council Staff Report Page 2 of 3 September 23, 2025 changes in service needs, costs, and funding availability.

The Fremont City Council approved Task Order 16 at its regularly scheduled meeting on September 2, 2025.

DISCUSSION
Fremont’s Human Services Department has worked with the cities of Newark and Union City to develop and implement regional transportation services that allow elderly and disabled Tri-City residents to more easily access health care, social, and recreational opportunities, and to take care of shopping and other day-to-day needs.

Fremont’s existing JPAs with Union City and Newark to provide paratransit services to their respective residents enable Union City to benefit from economies of scale by streamlining community outreach and education efforts, consolidating staff functions, leveraging funding, and providing cost-effective services to Union City residents. These transportation services have been funded by the Measure BB sales tax revenues that are administered by the Alameda County Transportation Commission (Alameda CTC). The direct local distribution funding the cities receive from Alameda CTC helps the cities plan for and implement affordable, reliable, and accessible transportation services for older adults and people with disabilities living in Union City.

Union City will use its Measure BB direct local distribution revenues to reimburse Fremont for Ride-Hailing services and WAV services for Union City residents provided under Task Order 16 to the current JPA between Fremont and Union City. In Fiscal Year 2025-2026, these services for Union City residents will be provided through Fremont’s contracts with Nomad Transit, LLC. (for WAV services) and with Lyft, Inc., and GoGo Technologies, Inc. (for ride-hailing services).

FISCAL IMPACT
Task Order 16 to the Joint Powers Agreement with the City of Fremont will be funded with $155,000 of available funds in the Transit Fund (Account Number 51234022-54111).

There will be no impact to the General Fund.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute Task Order 16 to the Joint Powers Agreement with the City of Fremont for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Paratransit Services to be provided by the City of Fremont Human Services Department’s Ride-On Tri-City! Program, in an amount not-toexceed $155,000, funded through Alameda County Transportation Commission Measure BB Direct Local Distribution funds.

DATE: September 23, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Joan Malloy, City Manager
SUBJECT: Hold a Public Hearing and Adopt a Resolution Approving the 2024- 2025 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) and
Authorizing the City Manager to Submit the 2024-2025 CDBG CAPER to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff recommends that the City Council hold a public hearing on the 2024-2025 Community Development Block Grant (“CDBG”) Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (“CAPER”) and adopt a resolution (Attachment 1) approving the 2024- 2025 CAPER (Exhibit A) and authorizing its submittal to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”).

STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
This agenda item does not have alignment with a specific goal or strategy; however, it is required to receive federal Block Grant funds that support a variety of City programs, which support the City’s overall mission to create and provide effective, quality services that foster a high quality of life and economic vitality.

BACKGROUND
Union City receives CDBG funding on an annual basis from HUD. In addition, the City of Union City receives HOME Investment Partnership Program (“HOME”) funds annually through participation in the Alameda County HOME Consortium. As part of the requirements to receive this funding, the City must prepare and submit a CAPER to HUD every year. The CAPER describes how CDBG and HOME-funded activities addressed the City’s housing and community development needs and compares its accomplishments to the goals the City set in the PY24 (i.e., FY 2024-2025) Annual Action Plan and the 5th and final year of the City’s 2019-2024 Consolidated Plan. The CAPER also provides a comprehensive accounting of all CDBG and HOME funds allocated and expended during PY24.

Public Service Grants
The City spent $71,050.32 in PY24 CDBG funds and $248,606.80 in General Fund dollars to support eleven (11) public service programs. See Table 2 below for an overview of PY24 public service activities and the total number of residents served by the service providers. There are some limited instances where the public service providers did not utilize all of their grant funding. The unexpended amounts ranged from $150.00 to $2,200.00. City staff continually works with these public service providers during the program year to understand their issues and work with them to utilize all of their funding promptly for both CDBG and General Fund monies. Staff provide technical assistance to service providers, helping them review budgets and identify eligible CDBG expenditures that may not be fully utilized. City staff works with the public service providers on updating their budget and allowing them to create a spending plan to maximize the use of their CDBG funding while maintaining program compliance.

Microenterprise Assistance
The City spent $19,935.02 in PY24 to support the Community Child Care Council (4Cs).

They provide microenterprise assistance in the form of delivering business support, education, technical assistance, and incentives to help residents launch and operate inhome family childcare businesses. The program was able to assist eight (8) low-income, in-home childcare providers.

The provider was able to submit all of its reimbursement requests on time this year and has continued to work with staff on its invoice submissions and reporting. Although the service provider was not able to expend the remainder of its CDBG award, $64.98, this is considered an anomaly as they have consistently expended their full award every program year.

Housing Rehabilitation
The City expended $65,392.05 in PY24 CDBG funds to implement the City’s Housing Rehabilitation Program, which provides repair and rehabilitation grants to low-income homeowners. The City contracts with Alameda County through its Healthy Housing Services program, which provides the services for the Minor Home Repair Program. This year, the program provided 18 home repair grants. Rehabilitation projects included:
installation of shower grab bars, repair of subfloors in bathrooms and bedrooms, replacement of existing toilets with ADA-compliant toilets, installation of smoke alarms, repair of sealing around windows, repair of front steps, partial roof repair, and replacement of a water heater. The average cost of the repair per home was $3,633. 60 of 303 Agenda Item No. 5.1
City Council Staff Report Page 5 of 7 September 23, 2025 The City has been working with new Alameda County staff at Healthy Homes, as there has been recent staff turnover, to ensure the timely submission of invoices. County staff have responded positively, submitting timely invoices and almost entirely expending their CDBG award. Due to the nature of the program, it takes some time to complete the application and approval process for rehabilitation work, as well as to gather the necessary paperwork from residents. City staff will continue to work with the service provider to ensure that they can utilize their funding allocation fully. Staff look forward to the continued progress of this program as it helps many low-income senior residents to maintain and stay in their homes safely.

Public Facilities
Fred Castro Park Improvement Project
The City started the improvements to Fred Castro Park, which will include the replacement of the play equipment, rehabilitation of landscaping, replacement of fencing along the perimeter of the park, repair of pedestrian pathways, including resolving nonADA compliant grades, and lighting upgrades. The City spent $104,317.62 in CDBG funds for the purchase and installation of the play equipment. The project is estimated to be completed by Fall 2025. The use of CDBG funds to purchase equipment during the rehabilitation process is the most efficient way of utilizing funding and being able to meet the CDBG timeliness deadline for the program year.

Charles F. Kennedy Park Improvement Project
The City spent $148,303.00 in CDBG funds to support the Kennedy Park Project. Funds were spent on design work for the first phase of improvements, focusing on the renovation of the parking lot, including asphalt resurfacing. Design work included the creation of construction drawings and related preliminary engineering work. Other CDBG funds spent in PY24 included tree maintenance, irrigation system repair, and the purchase of wood fiber that will be used for the play area. The parking lot portion of the project is on schedule to begin work by the beginning of 2026. The rest of the rehabilitation of the park includes landscaping and irrigation replacement, repair and modification of pedestrian pathways to rehabilitate damaged asphalt and resolve non-ADA compliant grades, rehabilitation, and modification of the existing picnic area and park surface, incorporation of ADA compliant benches, modification of pedestrian access points to the park, miscellaneous improvements to Kennedy Center outdoor café amenities and the Teen Center building.

The expenditures associated with these projects resulted in the City expending adequate CDBG funds in order to allow the City to meet its timely expenditure deadline. The CDBG timeliness deadline occurs every year, 60 days prior to the end of the program year, and requires grantees to expend adequate CDBG funds to ensure the balance is no greater than one and one-half (1.5) times its annual allocation. 61 of 303
Agenda Item No. 5.1
City Council Staff Report Page 6 of 7 September 23, 2025 HOME Funding
Tenant-Based Rental Assistance
Union City allocated some of its HOME funds from the Alameda County HOME Consortium to Fremont’s Stay Housed Program, which is a Tenant-Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) program that assists individuals and families in securing and/or staying housed by providing them with rental subsidies. This program offers rental assistance for up to 24 months to low-income families at risk of homelessness, helping them with long-term housing options. The program also enrolls participants in a selfsufficiency program to help achieve long-term financial stability.

The program was able to support three Union City families this year. Due to a large client caseload, the Fremont staff is in the process of preparing an invoice for submission, since it could not be submitted during the program year. Due to the delay, these expenditures will be reported in next year’s CAPER report. Also, due to this large caseload, the program was not able to expend all of the funds allocated by Union City. City staff is in conversation with Fremont staff to better understand where we can provide additional support to their team to help get more Union City clients into the program.

In the PY24 Annual Action Plan, staff reduced the HOME allocation to the TBRA program to reflect the level of participation for City residents in the program as well as to provide funding for the City’s new Homekey Scattered Site Program, which provides supportive housing for residents experiencing homelessness. Staff is currently working with its program partner, Bay Area Community Services (BACS), to help review applications and ensure candidates are a good fit for the program. The City was not able to expend funds in PY24 on this program due to the standard agreement with State HCD being finalized in late 2024, which was later than anticipated. The State HCD Homekey program has mandatory disbursement regulations that require that State HCD Capital Expenditure funds be fully expended before other funding sources. This meant that all State HCD funds needed to be drawn first, prior to any local funding that was allocated to the project, to meet the expenditure deadline. It is anticipated that PY24 funds will be expended by the end of 2025.

CARES Act CDBG Funds
Road to Recovery Small Business Assistance Program
In 2021, the City allocated CARES Act CDBG-CV and CDBG-EN funds to the City’s Road to Recovery Small Business Assistance Program to help businesses that were impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. In total, the City has assisted 28 businesses for a total of $337,867.07 in grant funds expended, including $50,000.00 in PY24. City staff has faced difficulty disbursing all funds due to businesses not providing the necessary information to complete the application process, including required demographic information and financial documentation confirming no duplication of benefits, as required by HUD.

Additionally, there have been staffing changes with the third-party consultant hired to manage the program. Staff are exploring all options to finalize the utilization of the CARES Act funds' balance before the expenditure deadline at the end of 2026. 62 of 303
Agenda Item No. 5.1
City Council Staff Report Page 7 of 7 September 23, 2025 Administration
The City spent $118,335.67 in CDBG funding on administration of both the CDBG and HOME programs, which primarily covered staff costs, consultant support, and incidental supplies.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with the proposed action.

CR-05 - Goals and Outcomes
Progress the jurisdiction has made in carrying out its strategic plan and its action plan. 91.520(a) This could be an overview that includes major initiatives and highlights that were proposed and executed throughout the program year.

In Program Year 2024 (PY24), the City of Union City received a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) entitlement (EN) grant of $493,771 and receipted $108 of program income (PI). During PY24, the City was successful in drawing down enough of this funding to meet the timeliness test. This PY24 represents the fifth and final year of the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan. During the year, Union City used CDBG funds for various activities that helped benefit low-moderate income people throughout the City. Some of those activities include funding social service programs.

Spectrum Community Services received funding for their Senior Nutrition Program, while Safe Alternatives to Violent Environments received funding to run their Crisis Response program to help survivors of domestic violence with crisis intervention services and referrals to safe domestic abuse shelters to avoid homeless. The City used CDBG funding to support Eden Council for Hope and Opportunity (ECHO) Housing’s fair housing and tenant/landlord counseling programs, as well as the Community Child Care Council (4Cs) of Alameda County to provide microenterprise assistance to in-home childcare providers. The combination of CDBG funding and money leveraged from the City’s General Fund allowed 11 social service providers to receive funding for PY24. The City also allocated CDBG funding to the Alameda County Healthy Homes Department to implement a Minor Home Repair Grant Program. The program provides repair and rehabilitation grants to low income homeowners. 17 minor home repair projects were completed with CDBG funding in PY24. PY21 CDBG funds also supported 2 small businesses in PY24.

Union City is a member of the Alameda County HOME Consortium (“Consortium”). The Consortium consists of the cities of Alameda, Fremont, Hayward, Livermore, Pleasanton, San Leandro, Union City, and the Urban County. As a part of the Consortium, the City receives a HOME allocation each year. For PY24, the City received an allocation of $117,839 in HOME funds. The City allocated $78,801 to the Bay Area Community Services (BACS) reclamation project as a scattered site model for providing housing that would be for the purchase of a single family home in order to rehabilitate it into supportive housing for individuals experiencing homelessness. The allocation was part of a multi jurisdictional application between BACS, the city of Hayward, and Union City to submit a scattered site model application for the State Homekey program to help expand housing for the homeless. Our application received a Homekey award from the round 3 NOFA in the amount of $9,677,000. The ability to leverage the City’s HOME funding was a key part of submitting a successful application. The City also allocated $32,187 in Tenant Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) funds to the City of Fremont. The funds are being utilized to provide rental assistance to low income residents of the City.
66 of 303
CAPER 2
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
In PY24, the City allocated $197,536 as part of a 2nd phase of the public facilities project as Charles F. Kennedy Park. The project scope included design and construction/rehabilitation services to make improvements throughout the park and adjoining parking lot including renovation of grounds, pathways, playgrounds, and resolution of non-ADA compliance issues in play and picnic areas. The project has faced some unanticipated delays but Public Works staff selected an architect and general contractor for the different stages of the project and has begun some of the rehabilitation work. The City also allocated $125,000 to the Fred Castro Park Rehabilitation project for rehabilitation of the park and purchase of play equipment. Public Works staff selected a general contractor and is in the process of finishing the project by Fall 2025.

Table 1 - Accomplishments – Program Year & Strategic Plan to Date Assess how the jurisdiction’s use of funds, particularly CDBG, addresses the priorities and specific objectives identified in the plan, giving special attention to the highest priority activities identified.

The PY24 activities addressed the priority goals set forth in the City's 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan. The Consolidated Plan focused on the following goals:

1. Promote Production, Rehabilitation, and Preservation of Affordable Housing • The Minor Home Repair Grant program provided repair and rehabilitation grants to 18 low-income homeowners.

2. Reduce Housing Discrimination
• ECHO Fair Housing assisted 129 Union City residents by providing fair housing services for tenants and landlords including mediation and counseling services, fair housing tests, and education/outreach.

3. Reduce Homelessness
• The City did not allocate any CDBG funds in PY 24 for homelessness due to a lack of service providers submitting an application for the City’s CDBG NOFA Public Service grant process of PY23/PY24. The City relied on its CAREavan program to directly help residents experiencing homelessness and provide them with safe overnight parking through its program. 98 Union City residents were served by providing safe overnight parking, access to case management and other County health services, and housing search services to homeless adults and children. 7 participants were able to be transitioned to temporary housing. 2 participants were able to be transitioned to 70 of 303
CAPER 6
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
permanent housing. The City’s Homeless Outreach Team also supported unsheltered homeless residents by providing in person outreach at encampments and other locations throughout the City. During those visits, they offered access to homeless services, emergency shelter services, emergency supplies, and additional case management services to ensure residents were also able to be connected to the larger Alameda County homeless network of services.

4. Increase Availability of Supportive Housing
• The City received a State HCD Homekey award during the program year in the amount of $9,677,000 that will go towards the scattered site model approved by State HCD for the purchase of a single family home to provide supportive housing for individuals experiencing homelessness. The City was able to finalize all agreements with State HCD and is currently in the process of leasing up the units to house at least 4 homeless residents in the home. Due to a State HCD requirement to expend Homekey awards first prior to any utilization of local funds, the City looks to expend PY 24 funds by November 2025 that will cover any remaining rehabilitation or acquisition costs and any operating subsidies needed to support the project.

5. Improve Public Facilities
• The City funded 2 public facility improvement projects in PY24 including the project at Charles F. Kennedy park. CDBG funds were utilized for the design and first phase of rehabilitation services of park improvements. Those services included design work, preliminary engineering and evaluation work, and construction document creation for the update to the parking lot, as well as tree maintenance, irrigation system repair, wood fiber for the play area. The Fred Castro Park improvement project was also funded to help update, rehabilitate and improve the park. The majority of funding was utilized to purchase new play equipment to be installed at the park with installation and rehabilitation work to be completed by Fall 2025.

6. Support Public Service Programs
• The Union City Family Center assisted 1,657 residents by providing services such as providing emergency food, health insurance enrollment, on-site social services, referrals, information, etc... through family liaisons at every school site in the New Haven Unified School District.
• Safe Alternatives to Violent Environments (SAVE) assisted 59 residents with crisis intervention services who were dealing with violence 71 of 303

Narrative
In PY24, the City received a CDBG entitlement grant of $493,771. Combining the entitlement amount with $108 in program income received in PY24, the City had a total of $493,879 available to spend. For PY24, the City has currently drawn $528,272 in CDBG funding.

During PY20 the City received a CARES Act CDBG-CV allocation of $779,418. Some of the funds were programmed to support small businesses who were struggling due to the COVID pandemic. Grants were provided to assist with operating expenses, payroll support, and /or outdoor dining improvements.

Additional funding was allocated to a Rental Assistance Program for residents with the remaining funds utilized for support of the City’s CAREavan Program. In PY 24, two additional Small Business Assistance grant applications were finalized for a total of $50,000. There are still approximately $219,000 in CARES Act funds remaining for the Small Business Assistance Program, which staff has been struggling to distribute due to incomplete applications, non-responsiveness applicants, and staffing changes with the third-party consultant hired to manage the program. The remaining funds need to be spent by the end of 2026. Staff is strategizing on how best to get the funds expended by the deadline.

The City has been successful in expending enough of their funds to meet the annual timeliness test over the past few years. In PY24, the City was successful again in meeting HUD’s timeliness test.

In PY24, the City had $117,839 available in HOME funds for the BACS Project Reclamation project. Due to the delay in receiving the standard agreement from State HCD for the Homekey program and the need to expend the State grant funds prior to any local funding support, the City was not able to expend any funds in PY 24. The funds will rollover and the City hopes to expend PY 24 funds by November 2025 that will cover any remaining rehabilitation or acquisition costs and any operating subsidies needed. In PY 24, HOME funds were used to support three Union City residents through Fremont’s Tenant Based Rental Assistance Program. Prior year unexpended HOME funds were used to support the Program in PY 24, which is why Table 3 doesn’t show any funds expended. 74 of 303

Explain how federal funds leveraged additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements were satisfied, as well as how any publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that were used to address the needs identified in the plan.

The City leveraged over $368,000 in other federal and local funds to support public services and rental assistance support. This includes $251,000 of money from the Union City General fund and $117,839 of HOME funding.

In addition to leveraging HOME and General Fund dollars, the City allowed several public service providers to operate programs out of City-owned facilities. More specifically, the City owns the Decoto and Alvarado Resource centers where Centro de Servicios operates their programs. Spectrum Community services also provided services out of the City’s Ruggieri Senior Center.

The City contracted with the Alameda County Healthy Homes Department to administer the Minor Home Repair Grant Program in PY24. The program provides repair and rehabilitation grants to low income homeowners to ensure that they are able to maintain and stay in their home. The City funded this program with CDBG funds. This year the program had a goal to complete 25 minor home repair projects and completed 18 projects. There were a number of projects that were held in the queue due to needing additional paperwork from the homeowners to finalize their applications. 77 of 303
CAPER 13
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
The City also used multiple funding sources to administer rental assistance programs. The City was able to provide rental assistance through the Tenant Based Rental Assistance program for 3 Union City Resident. The City’s CAREvan program was also able provide assistance to 2 homeless residents who were able to find permanent shelter without an emergency shelter voucher through a different funding source. The City allocated its HOME funding in PY24 to the BACS reclamation project to help leverage its Homekey application and received an award for its application. The City was able to execute its standard agreement with State HCD and is in the process of leasing up to 4 residents with housing in the scattered site project.

The City's inclusionary housing policies have been at the core of the City's affordable housing development programs. The elimination of redevelopment agencies in California created a major funding shortfall for affordable housing production, as over $1 billion statewide was lost annually for affordable housing. However, both the City and Alameda County are taking efforts to create/develop new affordable housing funding sources. In November 2016, Alameda County voters passed Measure A1, which provides $580 million for affordable rental and ownership housing. The City has received an allocation of $8.7 million in Measure A1 funding. The City selected Midpen Housing to develop a cityowned site into 81 affordable units and the project was approved in 2019. The City is contributing the land, $6.8 million in City funds, and its $8.7 million allocation of Measure A1 funds to the project. The project was delayed due to the competitiveness of State grant and Tax Credit funding opportunities. The project received a Tax Credit award in 2025 and it is estimated this project will begin site work in late 2025/early 2026.

Discuss how these outcomes will impact future annual action plans.

The City will continue to adjust the proposed goals and outcomes in future action plans to reflect changes in funding availability.

CR-25 - Homeless and Other Special Needs 91.220(d, e); 91.320(d, e); 91.520(c) Evaluate the jurisdiction’s progress in meeting its specific objectives for reducing and ending homelessness through:

Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs
HOME Consortium jurisdictions continued their outreach to unsheltered persons in PY 24 while dealing with the remnants of the COVID pandemic. Funding from the State’s Project Roomkey program has made more than 1,000 hotel rooms available for homeless and at-risk households in response to COVID19.

The Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) program provides funding to engage and support individuals and families experiencing homelessness. In 2020 Alameda County established a coordinated, countywide COVID-19 emergency response, working with all jurisdictions in the county, to prioritize those unhoused individuals as most at risk for COVID-19 into Project Roomkey hotel sites (temporary, non-congregate shelter) and to prioritize their exits to permanent supportive housing. Alameda County’s Coordinated Entry System supports households experiencing homelessness to access needed housing resources and supports to end their homelessness. There are 12 housing resource centers across the County that provide Housing Problem Solving services and assessment. In FY 23, over 24,000 people were served by Alameda County’s Homelessness Response System. Based on data trends from the last 2 years it is expected that in FY24, a comparable amount of residents were served. https://homelessness.acgov.org/data_homeless_response.page?#Clients_Served Union City
In January 2024, Alameda County conducted a point in time homeless count which covered every census tract in Alameda County. The 2024 Count utilized volunteers and homeless guides to help identify those who were unsheltered. In the weeks following the 2024 Count, an in-depth survey was administered to a sample of unsheltered and sheltered homeless individuals, in order to profile their experience and characteristics. The 2024 Count recorded 9,450 people experiencing homelessness the morning of January 25, 2024, of which 6,343 or 67% are unsheltered. This represents an 11% decrease in the number of homeless people countywide compared to the 2022 Count. More specifically, the 2024 Count found that there were 191 unsheltered homeless individuals and zero sheltered individuals in Union City, which represents a 61% decrease in the number of homeless people compared to the 2022 Count.

The 2024 Count helps give the City and County a better understanding of the demographics and needs of those experiencing homelessness, so that resources can be allocated more effectively. The full report can be found at Alameda Point-in-Time Count Result | https://everyonehome.org/main/continuum-ofcare/point-in-time-count-2024/.

The Coordinated Entry System (CES) was launched countywide in November 2017. CES provides a 79 of 303
CAPER 15
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
standardized, countywide system to connect people experiencing homelessness to the resources available in a community. The purpose of CES is to ensure that all people who are homeless or who are experiencing a housing crisis that is likely to lead to homelessness are quickly identified, assessed and connected to housing (emergency shelters, transitional housing, rapid rehousing, and permanent supportive housing) and other assistance based on their needs and the availability of resources. CES includes a call center operated through 211, housing resource centers that are disbursed throughout the County, and a standardized intake/assessment screening tool.

EveryOne Home is a community-based organization that serves as Alameda County’s Continuum of Care (CoC). EveryOne Home coordinates local efforts to address homelessness. Everyone Home and he HOME Consortium jurisdictions continued their outreach to the homeless in a number of significant ways over the last year.

There are a number of mobile health services for the homeless that have the ability to travel to the persons who need their assistance. The Abode HOPE Program provides mobile medical and social services for homeless individuals. The program operates a mobile health van in South and East Alameda County. The program also has street outreach and support specialists. The Tri-City Health Center launched a mobile health program in June 2019 that provides free health services for homeless and those at risk of homelessness called the HealthCare Express. The Alameda County Health Care for the Homeless (ACHCH) in collaboration with the Alameda Health System (AHS) provides a mobile clinic and provides urgent care, care coordination, linkage and referrals to community resources. Staff includes a medical provider, medical assistant, social worker, registration clerk, and van driver that work to provide friendly and accessible care to those who need it most.

Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons As mentioned, the majority of the County’s homeless population continues to be unsheltered (67% as of the 2024 Point In Time Count (PIT)). Only 3,107 or 33% of the County’s homeless population is sheltered.

This represents a 19% increase in people experiencing sheltered homelessness. Currently, the County’s homeless system is under resourced to meet the increasing homeless population. The strategy for meeting this growing need is to utilize the Coordinated Entry System to try and resolve a person’s homelessness more quickly, especially in transitional housing, so that each bed is used to support multiple people throughout the year. The final draft of the PIT report was made available in August 2024, with changes in methods of targeted enumeration and sampling to estimate the number of people unsheltered throughout the County, and showing a 1% decrease from 55% in 2022 to 54% in 2024 for the unsheltered population residing in their vehicles. The use of vehicles is still the most prevalent form of unsheltered living for the homeless population in the County.

As a response to a growing number of homeless and displaced families in Union City, the City launched the CAREavan Safe Parking Program in June 2016 in collaboration with Union City Family Center and local community and faith-based organizations. The CAREavan Program provides families and individuals that are living in their vehicle’s a safe place to park overnight. All participating sites provide safe parking, 80 of 303
CAPER 16
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
a facility attendant, and restrooms. Additionally, some sites provide showers and toiletries, food, clothing, meal service, free Wi-Fi, and laundry. The City allocates approximately $80,000 in General Fund dollars to cover the cost of facility attendants for the program. On average, there are 35 to 40 households utilizing the program on any given night. In PY24, the CAREavan program was able to assist 98 active clients through the program.

To help bolster the CAREavan Program, the City has allocated more funding to the program. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the City received an allocation of CARES Act funding. Approximately $120,473 of this funding has been allocated to the CAREavan Program. The City has previously allocated $60,000 of its 2020-2021 CDBG entitlement funding to the program in its 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan.

The City has been approved for other funding sources through Alameda County including a Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention (HHAP) Grant and funds from the Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) Program to help fund the CAREavan program along with General Funds from the City.

Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: likely to become homeless after being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); and, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs The Continuum of Care (CoC) is working with several publicly funded institutions of care to ensure that persons are not discharged into homelessness. The Realignment Housing Program(RHP) has housing specialists who work with people in the County jail on their housing needs prior to their release date and is funded by Alameda County Probation Department to rapidly rehouse those who are or could become homeless. The CoC also participated actively in the Youth Transitions Planning partnership funded by Health and Human services (HHS) to ensure that no transitional age youth aging out of foster care exits to homelessness. The partnership works to coordinate the foster care and McKinney funded housing resources to ensure youth do not fall out of housing. In addition, Alameda County is a Youth Homeless Demonstration Program grant recipient.

Alameda County is a “Housing First” CoC and is working with several publicly funded institutions of care to ensure that persons are not discharged into homelessness. all funded programs prioritize finding clients permanent housing as quickly as possible without any clinical pre-conditions. The Alameda County HOME Consortium has expanded resources for families experiencing homelessness. While families make up a smaller share of our populations served in the last Point-In-Time Count, during 2023 the Alameda County Homelessness Response System served 18,373 households without children and 5,150 households with children. Based on equal amounts of investment across 2023 and 2024, the 2024 data should follow the 2023 data closely.

In 2017, the City also adopted an eviction and harassment protection ordinance and a rent review ordinance to help provide protections to tenants who are facing unfair or unjust rent increases or 81 of 303
CAPER 17
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
evictions. Additionally, the City of Union City has used General Fund and CDBG funding to support a wide range of public service nonprofits that provide safety net services to help prevent low-income individuals and families avoid homelessness. The Centro de Servicios provides legal services, food distribution, immigration counseling, and referral services. ECHO Housing provides tenant/landlord counseling and mediation which helps residents avoid evictions, extend termination notices, and negotiate reduced rent increases. Spectrum Community Services provides meals and health/mental health services to low and extremely low-income seniors. Union City Family Center operates a family resource center that provides emergency food, clothing, health insurance enrollment, on-site social services, referrals, information, etc. The City also looks to utilize additional pots of funding to further support our emergency shelter networks to help them engage and serve homeless residents of Union City.

Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again
The CoC continues to refine its Housing Crisis Response System in Alameda County that prevents homelessness whenever possible, provides dignified homeless safety net services, and maintains people in permanent homes with ongoing subsidies and services. Coordinated Entry is the front door and central organizing feature of the Housing Crisis Response System. Coordinated Entry provides a standard and transparent way for the Housing Crisis Response System to effectively identify people in Alameda County who are experiencing a housing crisis and assess their needs, then prioritize and match them to the most supportive services and housing programs for which they are eligible. To do this, Alameda County Office of Homeless Care and Coordination (OHCC) manages a Countywide Housing Queue, which is maintained in Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) and governed by all applicable privacy and security policies. Housing problem solving services and flexible funding resources are provided at 12 housing resource centers and by 14 street health outreach teams.

The HOME Consortium has also expanded resources for families experiencing homelessness and this can be seen as the number of homeless families has decreased despite the overall increase in sheltered homelessness in Alameda County.

The City received a grant from Alameda County to pay for a part time housing navigator from Abode Services to help the City’s CAREavan clients transition to permanent housing. The housing navigator provides case management services and help clients get connected to other resources. The City also received a $200,000 grant from the State Homeless Emergency Aid Program (HEAP) to further support the CAREavan program’s operating expenses and provide additional services such as a mobile hygiene unit at sites with showers and washer/dryers as well as an emergency aid fund. 82 of 303
CAPER 18
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the City received an allocation of CARES Act funding.

Approximately $120,473 of this funding has been allocated to the CAREavan Program. The City also previously allocated $60,000 of its 2020-2021 CDBG entitlement funding to the program in its 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan. The City has been approved for additional funding sources to help with homeless services through Alameda County including a Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention (HHAP) Grant in the amount of $122,203 and funds from the Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) Program in the amount of $253,935 to help fund the CAREavan program along with General Funds from the City. The City is currently working with the Office of Homeless Care and Coordination of Alameda County for an additional round of HHAP funding to continue to support the City’s CAREavan program and expand the resources that it is able to provide to homeless individuals. The City is looking at ways to provide additional support through other local funding sources to find long-term solutions to fight homelessness.

Actions taken to address the needs of public housing
The City consults with the Housing Authority of the County of Alameda (HACA) to inform the Consolidated Plan and Strategic Plan. The Housing Authority of the County of Alameda (HACA) is a public agency that provides various housing programs throughout Alameda County. HACA also provides housing and administers the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program and the Section 8 Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH) Voucher Program. Over 7,000 families and 3,500 housing owners participate in the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program (HCVP) administered by HACA.

HACA also currently administers over 300 VASH Vouchers. The City currently has 797 vouchers being used by Union City residents. The City will continue to coordinate with HACA as the regional housing authority and public housing provider whenever possible.

Actions taken to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership
HACA promotes sufficiency and asset development of resident families and individuals by encouraging participants in the HCV program to sign up for the Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program. The FSS Program is a partnership between low-income families on the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program and the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). This five-year program helps families who are receiving rental assistance move to economic independence. These programs continued in PY24.

Actions taken to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment. 91.220 (j); 91.320 (i) The City took the following actions to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing:
• The City continued to implement the City's Affordable Housing Ordinance which requires developers to provide 15% of total units as below market rate (BMR) or provide an in-lieu fee. This ordinance applies to all residential developments. The City also continued to support its existing BMR units. • The City continued to implement the Affordable Housing Ordinance in order to maximize the City’s ability to provide affordable housing.
• The City continued to implement its Housing Element, which includes goals, policies and implementation programs that support the development of affordable housing. • The City continued to support the rehabilitation of existing housing stock by providing funding to the Minor Home Repair Grant Program.
• The City continued to investigate potential sources of funding for affordable housing. • The City continued to reduce government and public infrastructure constraints to affordable housing development through administrative support and intergovernmental cooperation.

Actions taken to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) The main obstacle the City faces in meeting underserved needs is a lack of funding for public services. In order to better leverage and utilize existing funding, the City completed an updated Public Services Needs Assessment Study in FY 22-23. The goals of the Study were to 1) form a foundation from which the City can make effective and beneficial decisions regarding the funding, provisions, and operations of local public service providers and 2) provide a priority needs map that can guide the City in future decisions about where to obligate public services funding and efforts. By strategically allocating resources, the City’s goals are to not just improve services for those in need but help raise the quality of life for the whole community through a commitment to fiscal responsibility and transparency. The components of the Study include a community survey, stakeholder meetings/interviews, and demographic analysis in order to determine what types of services are needed. The Study was finalized in March 2023 and was used to inform the Public Services Grant allocation process, which occurred in June 2025. The full Study can be found at the following link https://www.unioncity.org/DocumentCenter/View/10486/2023-Needs-Assessment-City-of-Union-City--- FINAL-6523.

CAPER 21
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
actions to be taken to increase available funding, increase fair housing choice, and increase the production of affordable housing and preserve existing affordable housing. Some priorities that were developed from the report were 1) the expansion of housing opportunities for people with special needs, 2) increase fair housing enforcement and education, and 3) focus on housing challenges of displacement in high-cost areas.

Actions taken to reduce lead-based paint hazards. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) Although the City of Union City does not have a lead-based paint reduction program at this time, all federally required protocol in the identification and amelioration of lead-based paint hazards are followed as part of its Minor Home Repair Grant program. See Alameda County LEAD Program update for actions to reduce lead-based paint hazards.

Actions taken to reduce the number of poverty-level families. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) The City seeks to support programs and policies that are designed to effectively reduce poverty and promote self-sufficiency. Support was given to those public services that specifically address the systemic roots of poverty within the community, such as unemployment, addiction, and illiteracy.

Through CDBG and other available funding, the City will continue to support those programs that:
• Provide job training
• Provide new, well-paying jobs
• Break the cycle of drug and alcohol dependency
• Provide needed childcare for low income families
• Provide needed skills to increase the independence of emotionally or physically disabled individuals For example, this year the City provided funding to 4C’s of Alameda County which provides microenterprise assistance to low income residents seeking to start and operate in-home childcare businesses. This provides business opportunities and job training for low income individuals while also increasing the number of childcare providers in the City. Also, through leveraging the City’s General Fund, different service providers for the City provide job training opportunities, resume building, and other training opportunities for low income individuals and families.

Actions taken to develop institutional structure. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) The City's departments work openly and efficiently together to further the City's goals. The City also works with social service agencies, for profit and non-profit developers, other cities, the County of Alameda, the State of California, and the Federal Government to ensure the effective delivery of services to the community. The City also participates in the Alameda County HOME Consortium and EveryOne Home, and partners with the Alameda County Office of Homeless Care and Coordination.

City Council Staff Report Page 1 of 2 September 23, 2025 Agenda Item No. 6.1
DATE: September 23, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Jennifer Phan, Deputy City Manager
SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute the First Amendment to the Consulting Services Agreement with Townsend Public Affairs, Inc. to Increase the Not-To-Exceed Amount and Extend the Agreement Term for Legislative Advocacy and Grant Funding Research Services

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute the First Amendment to the Consulting Services Agreement with Townsend Public Affairs, Inc., in a form approved by the City Attorney, to increase the agreement amount by $96,000, for a total not-to-exceed amount of $192,000, and to extend the agreement term to September 30, 2026, for legislative advocacy and grant funding research services.

STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
This item is not identified in the City Council Strategic Plan, nor is it directly correlated to a specific priority area. However, an agreement for legislative advocacy and grant funding research services is with the intent of advancing the goals and priorities identified in the Strategic Plan.

BACKGROUND
State and federal legislation have the potential to have direct and significant impacts on a city’s fiscal, operational, and environmental stability. On September 12, 2023, the City Council authorized the City to enter into a Consulting Services Agreement with Townsend Public Affairs, Inc. (TPA) for legislative advocacy and grant funding research services.

The established term for the initial agreement was from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024. In part, the goal is for active legislative engagement to protect and promote the interests of Union City’s constituents.

To allow for effective and sustained engagement in state and federal legislative processes, a new consulting services agreement was entered into with TPA on November 26, 2024. The established term under this agreement is from October 1, 2024, to September 30, 2025. 107 of 303
Agenda Item No. 6.1
City Council Staff Report Page 2 of 2 September 23, 2025 As part of the scope of services, each year, the City Council has adopted a Legislative Platform that represents Union City’s priorities in both Sacramento and Washington, DC.

The legislative platform has allowed City staff in coordination with TPA to proactively address legislation that may impact the City’s ability to operate effectively.

DISCUSSION
TPA has continued to satisfactorily provide its services under the terms and conditions of the current agreement. Thus far, TPA has been instrumental in assisting the City with strengthening its legislative advocacy and grant funding research efforts. Continuing to work with TPA would allow for an effective and sustained engagement in the state and federal legislative processes. This longevity is valuable as the legislative advocacy consultant becomes intimately familiar with the City's needs and priorities to represent the City’s interests effectively. TPA has agreed to continue its services under the terms and conditions of the original agreement, including the flat fee retainer amount of $8,000 per month, for a total of $96,000 per year.

As such, the City is recommending that the City Council authorize the City Manager to enter the First Amendment to the Agreement with TPA, to increase the agreement by $96,000, in order to continue legislative advocacy and grant funding research services for another year through September 30, 2026.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no new fiscal impact to the General Fund as a result of the proposed action.

Legislative advocacy and grant funding research services have been budgeted and approved in the FY 2025-2026 and FY 2026-2027 Adopted Biennial Budget in Account No. 110-11001-54110 (General Fund - City Council - Professional/Consulting Services.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute the First Amendment to the Consulting Services Agreement with Townsend Public Affairs, Inc., in a form approved by the City Attorney, to increase the agreement amount by $96,000, for a total not-to-exceed amount of $192,000, and to extend the agreement term to September 30, 2026, for legislative advocacy and grant funding research services.

The Consultant’s obligation to defend and indemnify shall not be excused because of the Consultant’s inability to evaluate Liability or because the Consultant evaluates Liability and determines that the Consultant is not liable to the claimant. The Consultant must respond within 30 days, to the tender of any claim for defense and indemnity by the City, unless this time has been extended by the City.

With respect to third party claims against the Consultant, the Consultant waives any and all rights of any type to express or implied indemnity against the Indemnitees.

Notwithstanding the forgoing, to the extent this Agreement is a “construction contract” as defined by California Civil Code Section 2782, as may be amended from time to time, such duties of consultant to indemnify shall not apply when to do so would be prohibited by California Civil Code Section 2782.

GRANT FUNDING SCOPE OF SERVICES
TPA will utilize the following strategic and comprehensive approach to provide grant funding services to the City:
• Craft Strategic Funding Plan: Utilizing the information gathered during the onboarding process, TPA will coordinate with the City to develop a proactive and comprehensive strategic funding plan that serves the needs of the City’s priorities. The plan will do more than simply identify City projects; it will outline and prioritize multiple funding options for each project and develop a specific plan of work tailored for each project. It will also identify key “strings attached” to help assess the cost/benefit ratio for each grant opportunity. • Identify, Research, and Monitor Grant Funding Opportunities: TPA will utilize list-serve subscription programs, funding workshops, agency canvassing, and other networking tactics to ensure every potential opportunity is identified and reviewed for relevance with the City’s projects. TPA will then share these opportunities with the City for further assessment and determination if a grant application is warranted. The City will also receive a grant matrix of funding programs that is updated regularly as new opportunities arise. • Community Outreach: TPA can assist the City with community outreach required for grant applications by ensuring the City is aware of specific requirements, help develop materials that capture all elements required by the grant and compile the data following the outreach to include in the application.
• Grant Application Development and Submittal: TPA will develop, draft, submit, and follow up on each City grant application through the following process:
o Establishment of Clear Accountabilities: TPA will coordinate with the City to ensure the assignment of responsibilities and tasks are made clear so that confusion and inefficiency are avoided, and the City is burdened as little as possible while TPA pursues a grant opportunity.
o Provide Overview of Full Application Requirements: For each grant application, TPA will provide the City with a detailed overview of the requirements for the grant program and corresponding application to ensure that the program is a strong fit for the City’s project. This will include:
▪ Application timeline
▪ Eligible project types
▪ Funding availability and award maximum and minimums
▪ List of application components, including proposal questions and any required attachments
o Assemble Project Background and Details: TPA will conduct a detailed informational interview with City staff most involved with each project in order to gain a full understanding of the project background and scope details necessary for developing the grant proposal and addressing all application questions. o Coordinate Technical Project Details: For technical application components such as site plans, detailed cost estimates, project timelines, engineering plans, and costDocusign Envelope ID: B434509B-97D5-4430-BA02-9FA8E0EB7831 Docusign Envelope ID: 9E2BA392-7C8A-40AD-A85A-55750B5D609C 129 of 303

SCOPE OF SERVICES
benefit analyses, TPA will coordinate with City staff to compile all necessary attachments and ensure consistency across all elements of the application. o Draft Written Proposal: TPA will fully draft all narrative components of the application and, when applicable, will indicate where additional input or project detail from the City could be provided during the proposal review process.
o Incorporate Feedback to Finalize Proposal: Well ahead of the application deadline, TPA will provide the City with a full draft for review and feedback. TPA will incorporate any additional details or revisions provided during this process to finalize the grant application and will obtain City approval for the final version of the application prior to submission.
o Submit Completed Application: TPA will ensure that applications are submitted prior to the deadline, whether the submission is electronic or through hard copies, in accordance with submission instructions for each individual program. For hard copy submissions, TPA will print and package applications according to submission instructions and will ship applications through a reliable carrier service such as FedEx in order to provide the City with tracking and delivery confirmation for the application.

TPA will also obtain a receipt for proof of submission and provide the City with a final copy of all submitted application documents.
o Funding Advocacy: Throughout grant application process TPA will leverage relationships with relevant officials and program officers in various state and federal funding agencies to ensure that City grant applications are aligned with the goals of the specific grant program and that the applications are well-crafted and wellpositioned for funding. • Post-Grant Submittal Advocacy: TPA will frequently contact legislators and agency officials to follow up on the status of a grant application and promote its need and urgency. This will include drafting letters of support after grant submissions and distributing them to legislators for their consideration. In addition, TPA will work with legislators to reach out to individual granting agencies to provide background on City’s projects and convey their support for those projects.
• Post-Award Grant Administration and Compliance: TPA will also assist, as needed and where possible, with post-award administration and compliance for all grant applications submitted by TPA on behalf of the City. This assistance will include interacting with granting agencies on behalf of the City, providing support for the drafting and submission of required reports, evaluations, and other tasks related to the successful monitoring of and compliance with the program requirements.
• Comprehensive Follow-Up on Unsuccessful Applications: Despite all best efforts, some grant applications are not selected for funding. In those instances where grant applications are unsuccessful, TPA will work with the relevant state and federal funding agencies to set up in-person or telephone debriefing sessions to discuss the grant applications and how to best revise the grant applications for the next funding round to ensure success.

Date: May 13, 2025
Subject: 2025 State and Federal Legislative Platform
Townsend Public Affairs, Inc. (TPA), alongside City staff, has prepared a draft 2025 State and Federal Legislative Platform for the City of Union City for discussion and adoption by the full City Council. The 2025 legislative platform will reflect the priorities of the City Council and includes advocating for legislation, regulations, and funding that is consistent with the City’s adopted goals, particularly those established and stated in the FY 2024-2025 City Council Strategic Plan.

Once adopted, this document will be shared with key stakeholders in the State Legislature, Governor’s Administration, Members of Congress, and Federal Administration.

Proposed Legislative Priorities for 2025
The State Legislature will maintain its focus on its recent priorities including Climate Resiliency, Homelessness and Behavioral Health, Housing and Greater Access, Public Safety, and Transportation and Infrastructure. In addition, the Governor, his Administration, and the State Legislature is focused on stopping and pushing back on the various proposals coming from President Trump.

In 2025, the Trump administration and Congress are prioritizing tax cuts, deregulation, and spending reductions, though republican lawmakers have not yet agreed on specifics and legislative approach.

Key focuses include border security, military funding, energy production, and strict immigration policies, such as large-scale deportations. The administration is also advancing efforts aimed to shrink the federal workforce and restructuring agencies.

Federal and State Legislative Monitoring and Potential Action The following legislative priorities are being recommended for monitoring, analysis, and potential action.

The City may choose to take a position on a piece of legislation, continue to monitor without a position, or determine if any further response is required.

Union City 2025 Legislative Platform Page 2 of 4
TPA will maintain a constantly updated matrix of state legislation and may also present strategic recommendations and provide rolling updates. TPA will monitor legislative activity in the following areas.

Fiscal Sustainability
Policy Priorities:

6) Seek funding for the build-out of the greater Station District Area through the construction of Quarry Lakes Parkway.
7) Seek funding to clean approximately 16 acres of the Waste Containment Area (WCA) located in City’s only transit-oriented development (TOD) area to build much needed housing. 8) Seek funding for new parks.
9) Seek funding for Capital Improvements such as a new City Hall, new Police Station, and other community buildings.

Union City 2025 Legislative Platform Page 3 of 4
Economic Development
Policy Priorities:

5) Support efforts that foster the growth and retention of small businesses.

Funding Priorities:
1) Advocate for funding to assist the City, in coordination with developers, create vibrant commercial properties that bring jobs and economic growth.

Public Safety
Policy Priorities:
1) Support the implementation of Proposition 36.
2) Support legislative efforts to address vehicular speeding and pedestrian and bicycle safety. 3) Support disaster preparedness, training, response, equipment (back-up generators, communication equipment, etc.), infrastructure (including new or upgraded City facilities) and resilience efforts.
4) Support efforts to reduce and prevent crimes against persons and property by using data, technology, and resources for purpose driving proactive policing. 5) Support efforts to increase neighborhood patrol resources to allow non-sworn and sworn employees more discretionary time to engage and build relationships with the community. 6) Support efforts for a “Service from the Heart” culture in the police department where care, compassion, and empathy is the foundation for all contacts with the community.

Funding Priorities:

Union City 2025 Legislative Platform Page 4 of 4
Environmental Sustainability and Infrastructure
Policy Priorities:
1) Measures that support regional planning for climate change and adaptation strategies. 2) Increasing resiliency of public infrastructure from threats of climate change. 3) Increasing the ability for local agencies to access affordable broadband services to better serve their residents.
4) Monitor and engage on legislation related to collection services franchise agreements and organics regulations/waste diversion compliance.

Funding Priorities:
1) Seek funding for park improvements/maintenance efforts. 2) Seek funding for climate change planning and staffing to support sustainability efforts. 3) Seek funding for Zero Waste efforts.
4) Seek funding for more EV charging stations at both public and private facilities. 5) Seek funding for bicycle and pedestrian safety improvements. 6) Seek funding for pedestrian rail crossings, both at grade and grade separated safety projects. 7) Seek funding for the conversion of the UC Transit fleet to zero emissions. 8) Seek funding to convert (approximately 4,000) street light fixtures to LED to conserve energy, improve lighting levels and improve safety.
9) Seek funding for energy efficiency improvement projects at City facilities (i.e., windows, HVAC, etc.) One Time State and Federal Funding Priorities for “Member Request” Consideration As we have seen at both the Federal and State level, new initiatives and various funding opportunities have taken form over the last few years. This also includes both legislative provisions that direct approved funds to be spent on specific projects, sometimes referred to as “Member Requests” or “Congressionally Directed Spending.”
As it relates to state and federal “Member Requests” / “Congressionally Directed Spending,” our recommended strategy is for the adopted Legislative Platform to include a handful of funding buckets that capture various project themes. This provides the City with the highest amount of flexibility as it is important to not only reflect the priorities of the state and federal lawmakers who sponsor these requests, but also to ensure that the City’s projects fit the eligibility requirements of the various state and federal funding pots.

Process for Reporting/Next Steps
In addition to weekly legislative updates and other communications we send to the City Team, TPA suggests verbal reports to the City Council when the State Legislature is on recess. For example, we may report out in April while they are on Spring Recess and in November or December when Session has concluded.

Due to the ever-changing nature of legislation in Sacramento and Washington, TPA can also provide monthly updates which can be shared with the City Council.

City Council Staff Report Page 1 of 5 September 23, 2025 Agenda Item No. 6.2
DATE: September 23, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Jennifer Phan, Deputy City Manager
SUBJECT: Receive a Report on the Revised Funding Allocation Request to the Metropolitan Transportation Commission from the Regional Measure 3 Dumbarton Corridor Improvements Program for Quarry Lakes Parkway, City Project No. 18-04

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff recommends that the City Council receive a report on the revised funding allocation request to the Metropolitan Transportation Commission from the Regional Measure 3 Dumbarton Corridor Improvements Program for the Quarry Lakes Parkway, City Project No. 18-04.

STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
This agenda item is aligned with the following:

Goal C, Strategy 2: Economic, Community Development, and Public Safety – Facilitate the build-out of the greater Station District Area through the construction of the Quarry Lakes Parkway, upgrades to the BART Station, and completion of the Pedestrian Rail Crossing, as well as the sale and development of City-owned land.

Goal D, Strategy 2: Environmental Sustainability and Infrastructure – Implement the City’s capital improvement plan.

BACKGROUND
The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), a regional planning agency, has been designated as the federal Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) and the state Regional Transportation Agency (“RTPA”) for the San Francisco Bay Area. At designated times, MTC receives available regional, state, and federal funds as an MPO and RTPA, and, in turn, provides these funds to local agencies for planning and programming transportation, transit, land use, or other projects relevant to MTC or its statutory purposes.

To solve the Bay Area’s growing traffic congestion problems, voters in 2018 approved Regional Measure 3 (RM 3) to finance $4.45 billion for highways and transit 152 of 303
Agenda Item No. 6.2
City Council Staff Report Page 2 of 5 September 23, 2025 improvements through a one dollar increase in tolls for the region’s seven (7) state-owned toll bridges, including the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, the San Mateo-Hayward Bridge, the Dumbarton Bridge, the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge, the Benicia-Martinez Bridge, the Carquinez Bridge and the Antioch Bridge. The previous toll measures approved by voters in the nine Bay Area counties – Alameda, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Contra Costa, Napa, Marin, Solano, and Sonoma – included Regional Measure 1 (RM 1) in 1988 and Regional Measure 2 (RM 2) in 2004. The Dumbarton Express, which provides regional transit service for the residents of Alameda County to the jobs in San Mateo County, has received operating and capital improvement funds through these past toll measure programs. However, there has not been significant funding for local projects to improve the east-west commute along the Dumbarton-Decoto Road Corridor, a High Injury Network (HIN) in Southern Alameda County, from these past toll measures.

The Regional Measure 3 Expenditure Plan has identified a list of “Corridor-Specific Capital Projects” and, under the list of projects for the South (San Mateo-Hayward, Dumbarton), $130 million has been programmed for the Dumbarton Corridor Improvement (see Attachment 1 for the RM 3 Expenditure Plan).

The statute description for the Dumbarton Corridor Improvement states:

This Funding planning, environmental review, design, and construction of capital improvements with the Dubarton Bridge and rail corridors in the Counties of Alameda and San Mateo to relieve congestion, increase passenger throughput, and offer reliable travel times. Eligible projects include, but are not limited to, the projects recommended in the Dumbarton Corridor Transportation Study and improvements to facilitate rail and transit connectivity among the Altamont Commuter Express, Capitol Corridor, and Bay Area Rapid Transit, including rail connection at the Shinn Station. The project sponsors are the Bay Area Toll Authority, Alameda County Transportation Commission, San Mateo County Transit District, and the San Mateo County Transportation Authority.” The Dumbarton Corridor Transportation Study, completed in 2017, discussed the proposed Dumbarton Rail Corridor service connecting Caltrain in San Mateo County to BART in Alameda County at the Union City BART Station. In 2019, San Mateo County Transit District (SamTrans) partnered with Facebook on the Dumbarton Rail Corridor (DRC) Study to review and evaluate alignments and types of rail modes for connecting San Mateo County to Alameda County along the Dumbarton-Decoto Corridor. This study was put on hold in 2021 and has not been completed.

MTC’s Southern Alameda County Integrated Rail Study (SoCo Rail), Phase 2, completed in 2023, has recommended the proposed “Shinn Station” option at the Union City Intermodal Station, which currently serves BART, AC Transit, Dumbarton Express, Union City Transit, and potential future ACE service.

In early 2023, with guidance from then-Mayor and MTC Commissioner Carol DutraVernaci, the southern Alameda County cities of Fremont and Newark, as well as AC Transit and Alameda County Transportation Commission (Alameda CTC), began identifying potential capital improvement projects along or parallel to the DumbartonDecoto Road Corridor that were ready for construction within the next five years. 153 of 303
Agenda Item No. 6.2
City Council Staff Report Page 3 of 5 September 23, 2025 The Quarry Lakes Parkway Project and the BART At-Grade Pedestrian Crossing Project clearly meet the statute language for the RM 3, Dumbarton-Decoto Road Corridor Improvement program funds. Also, these projects are identified in Alameda CTC’s Countywide Transportation Plan (CTP) and MTC’s Plan Bay Area (PBA) 2050 Plus.

In early 2023, Union City submitted the initial project information to Alameda CTC and MTC, requesting $25.0 million for Quarry Lakes Parkway and $3.0 million for the BART At-Grade Pedestrian Crossing for their review and comments. In February 2024, MTC met with project sponsors to review and discuss all potential projects under consideration.

On June 24, 2024, at the MTC Commission Meeting, the Commission unanimously approved the staff recommendation for programming $130 million to projects in Alameda and San Mateo County, with $72.0 million for specific projects in Fremont, Newark, and Union City. The MTC action approved the award of a total of $28.0 million to Union City projects, $25.0 million for Quarry Lakes Parkway, and $3.0 million for the Union City BART East Entrance and At-Grade Crossing.

DISCUSSION
On January 14, 2025, City Council adopted Resolution No. 2025-007, authorizing the City Manager to submit an Allocation Request to the Metropolitan Transportation Commission from the Regional Measure 3 Dumbarton Corridor Improvements Program, in the amount of $3,507,000, and accepting Alameda County Transportation Commission’s designation of the City of Union City as Implementing Agency for the Quarry Lakes Parkway, City Project No. 18-04.

On June 24, 2025, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2025-087, authorizing the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 3 to the Alameda County Transportation Commission (Alameda CTC) Project Funding Agreement (PFA) No. A22-0053 to accept an additional $3,995,000, for a total PFA of $8,996,191, for the Final Design of Phase (Segment) 2 for the Quarry Lakes Parkway (East West Connector) Project, City Project No. 18-04, allowing for the preparation of Final Plans, Specifications, and Estimate (PS&E) by summer of 2026 for advertisement and award by late 2026/early 2027.

Staff proposes a new resolution to supersede Resolution No. 2025-007, one that will enable the City to request the entire grant award of $25.0 million of Regional Measure 3 Dumbarton Corridor Improvements Program funds. To meet the MTC funding requirements, the City proposes the following RM 3 funding plan:

QLP Project Component MTC RM 3 Funding Allocation
Environmental Offsite Mitigation $20,000,000
QLP, Phase 1A Construction $1,500,000
QLP, Phase 2 Construction $3,500,000
TOTAL RM 3 FUNDS $25,000,000
The $20,000,000 for Environmental Offsite Mitigation identified above is to fund part of Option 2, Environmental Offsite Mitigation, estimated at $30,138,000 as noted on Attachment 1. The remaining $10,138,000 would likely be funded with Alameda CTC funds. As highlighted in yellow, City staff were not convinced that the Line M Detention 154 of 303
Agenda Item No. 6.2
City Council Staff Report Page 4 of 5 September 23, 2025 Basin-Pump Station, City Project No. 03-25 (New Basin), which was constructed by the City back in 2005 at a cost of about $900,000, could be defined by the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) as a “Seasonal Pond”.

On July 8, 2025, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2025-097, authorizing the City Manager to submit an Allocation Request to the Metropolitan Transportation Commission for the Regional Measure 3 Dumbarton Corridor Improvements Program and accepting Alameda County Transportation Commission’s designation of the City of Union City as the Implementing Agency for the Quarry Lakes Parkway, City Project No. 18-04 (see Attachment 2 for the City Council Presentation).

For the past several months, the consultant team and City staff have met and coordinated with RWQCB staff to finalize the Environmental Mitigation Options as noted above. At a meeting with RWQCB on June 3, 2025, City staff reiterated that the Line M Detention Basin-Pump Station should not be defined as a “Seasonal Pond”. RWQCB requested additional technical information from the project team, including Public Works Maintenance information. On July 21, 2025, City staff submitted the Line M Detention Basin-Pump Station Memorandum to the RWQCB to provide the history and use of the detention basin (see Attachment 3). On August 4, 2025, the City received an email from RWQCB staff providing concurrence on the findings and authorization to move forward with Option 1, estimated at $13,080,000.

Based on the reduced Environmental Mitigation Cost, City staff met with Alameda CTC on August 12, 2025, to discuss strategies to revise the RM 3, Dumbarton Corridor Funding Allocation Request, followed by a meeting with MTC on September 4, 2025, to discuss and update MTC staff on the proposed RM 3 funding revision (see Attachment 4).

The revised RM 3, Dumbarton Corridor Funding Allocation Request funding for Quary Lakes Parkway, City Project No. 18-04, is outlined below:

City Council Staff Report Page 5 of 5 September 23, 2025 On September 10, 2025, the City Manager submitted the revised RM 3, Dumbarton Corridor Funding Allocation Request Package to Andrew Fremier, MTC Executive Director, with a copy to Tony Tavares, Alameda CTC Executive Director, for both agencies to review and approve (see Attachment 5).

Resolution No. 2025-0978, adopted by the City Council on July 8, 2025, is an MTC RM 3 standard funding resolution providing the City Manager authority to make non-substantive changes or minor amendments to the allocation request as they deem appropriate. The revised RM 3 funding revision redistributes funds due to the savings in Environmental Mitigation costs. It provides funding for the Final Design of QLP, Phase 1, from 65% PS&E to Final PS&E, at which time the project will be ready for advertisement.

The revised RM 3 Funding Allocation Request package is tentatively scheduled for approval by the Alameda CTC at their Programs and Projects Committee and Commission Meetings in October 2025 and by the MTC at their Commission Meeting in November 2025. The City expects to receive the RM3 Project Funding Agreement for Quarry Lakes Parkway in December 2025.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no impact on the General Fund.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council receive a report on the revised allocation request to the Metropolitan Transportation Commission from the Regional Measure 3 Dumbarton Corridor Improvements Program for the Quarry Lakes Parkway, City Project No. 18-04.

City of Union City-Public Works Department
Line M Detention Basin-Pump Station, City Project No. 03-25 Initial Excavation, Development and Maintenance Memo
Prepared July 21, 2025
Initial Excavation
In the early 2000’s, excavation was done along the alignment of the future State Route 84 within the PSSC site between the Niles Subdivision and the BART trackway/Oakland Subdivision as a way to mine or generate clean fill for remediation of the site and to address Caltrans comments about encountering hazardous materials within the future State Route 84 right of way during the preparation of the State Route 84 EIR/EIS. This excavation work was approved by the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC).

Development of the Detention Basin
After the excavation of the future State Route 84 area was completed, the City, in coordination with the developer, discussed using the excavated area as a temporary drainage basin. The Line M Detention Basin-Pump Station, City Project No. 03-25 was initiated in 2003 with project completion by June 2005. This interim project served the following purpose before the anticipated construction of the future Route 84 project by 2010:
1) Serve as temporary site and roadway storm water detention basin for the adjacent KB Homes development during a storm event. When the water surface level in the nearby Line M Flood Control Channel drops to a certain level, the pump station in the Line M Detention Basin automatically turns on and discharges the storm water in the basin directly into the channel. 2) Because Line M Channel did not have sufficient capacity, the City agreed to allow the Alameda County Flood Control District to utilize this detention basin to serve as an overflow basin. When the water surface reaches certain levels during major storm event in the channel, the stormwater drains directly into the detention basin.
3) The design of this detention basin included a ramp down to the bottom of the basin to allow equipment access for maintenance of the detention basin.

The Detention Basin plan sheet shows the grading, the pump station, the gravity line from Line M Channel and access ramp. See plan below.
189 of 303

Maintenance of the Detention Basin
The Public Works Grounds Crews performs routine maintenance of the Line M Detention Basin area by cutting back weeds and grasses and specifically before the July 4th Holiday since Union City does allow the use of “Safe and Sane” Fireworks. They also pick up illegal dumping when reported.

From time-to-time homeless encampments have been reported at the top of the basin area, and the City contracts with specialized environmental cleanup contractors for cleanup of these encampments.

The Public Works Engineering Department maintains the pump station operations. Staff periodically turn on the pump to ensure it is operational, especially before a storm event. During and after a storm event, the Public Works Inspectors confirm the operations of the pump and will report back to City Hall in case the KB Townhome residents contact City Hall about the water level of the basin.

Public Works does not have separate, detailed maintenance records for the Line M Detention BasinPump Station as it is included in the overall annual maintenance budget and maintenance work is performed by City staff. However, based on research of available project files, phone calls and emails, the maintenance of the detention basin and the pump station is noted below with a few attachments.

Hello Joan and Marilou,
As of this morning at 8:00am the water levels of the Line M channel and detention basin remain approximately the same as yesterday at 5:00 pm. Some water from the Line M Channel is flowing into the detention basin but more of it is being pumped out than flowing in.

I turned the pumps off to give them a break and set them on auto, a few seconds later they started on their own because the water levels are above the set limit. The pumps are operating as designed.

RE: City of Union City - RM3 Allocation Request Revision for Quarry Lake Parkway Project, City Project No. 18-04
Dear Andy,
The purpose of this letter is to submit a revised RM3 Allocation Request for the $25.0 million of RM3, Dumbarton Corridor Funds. City staff recently met with Alameda County Transportation Commission (Alameda CTC) staff on August 12, 2025 to provide the design status of Quarry Lakes Parkway (QLP), Phases (Segments) 1 and 2, an update on the environmental mitigation permitting requirements, and to discuss an appropriate RM3 funding plan that would be supported by their Commission. QLP, Phases (Segments) 1 and 2 have completed the 65% PS&E Phases with Alameda CTC funds. Recently, Union City received additional Alameda CTC funds to complete the Final PS&E of QLP, Phase (Segment) 2, ready for advertising. For the Environmental Mitigation (offsite), the City is pleased to report that Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) staff concurred on a reduced offsite mitigation plan now at $13.0 million (not $30.0 million as initially required). QLP, Phase 2 continues to be the City’s priority project because this segment advances the proposed housing development of the former Caltrans Route 84 property and expedites the deposit of the Route 84 LATIP (Local Agency Transportation Improvement Program) funds estimated at $86.0 million.

The MTC resolution approved by the City Council on July 8, 2025 delegates authority to the City Manager to make non-substantive changes or minor amendments to the allocation request or IPR as she deems appropriate. The City is submitting a revised RM3 allocation request with minor amendments to account for the reduced cost to construct the project’s off site mitigation requirements, and that the City will be requesting that the cost savings be redistributed to assist in the Final Design and Construction of the project. 225 of 303

b. Detailed Project Description (include definition of deliverable segment if different from overall project/subproject)
Quarry Lakes Parkway project will construct a new four (4) lane multimodal, local street with a landscape median, buffer Class II bike lanes and a separated Class I continuous multi-use trail creating a gateway to Quarry Lakes Regional Park in Fremont and improving safe access for all modes to the Union City BART Station for both Union City and Fremont residents The project has been redesigned to meet current multimodal goals and Complete Streets guidelines. The proposed Quarry Lakes will provide a provide a critical secondary route & safe access to the Union City BART Station, as the project will parallel Decoto Road (from Mission Blvd (SR 238) in Union City to Paseo Padre in Fremont) and when completed is expected to significantly improve transit operations and travel time for Dumbarton Express, AC Transit and UC Transit service (Dumbarton Forward) along the Decoto Road/Dumbarton Corridor.
227 of 303
Regional Measure 3 Initial Project Report

Decoto Road, a known High Injury Network (HIN) in the vicinity of the Union City BART Station between Alvarado-Niles Road and 7th Street includes two (2) existing active at-grade railroad crossings. This corridor carries multiple transit services (AC Transit, Dumbarton Express and UC Transit) and delays occur due to the requirements for buses to stop before proceeding across the tracks, in addition to the delays due to the railroad safety gates going down on the Niles Subdivision because of the frequent daily Amtrak/Capitol Corridor rail service and daily freight trains. Quarry Lakes Parkway requires three (3) new grade-separated structures (underpass) under the two (2) active railroad tracks and the BART trackway. When the grade separated roadway segment is completed, UC Transit and Dumbarton Express will have a new transit route (avoiding the two atgrade railroad crossings) to Union City BART Station from the City’s Maintenance Facility located on Quarry Lakes Parkway/7th Street where these transit providers are housed and maintained.

The proposed buffered bikeway in the corridor has been designed to be converted to a transit priority (or shared with bikes) lane in the future if needed.

Phase 1, 7th Street Extension will construct Quarry Lakes Parkway from 7th Street to Mission Boulevard and will support the planned 1,000 housing units currently in construction on 7th/Decoto Road. This phase will move the existing 7th street roadway to align with the final corridor, with the new alignment impacting the existing Line M Flood Control Channel and requiring the channel to be realigned as well as the relocation of existing utilities. The QLP corridor alignment also impacts the City’s Corp Yard that fronts 7
th Street. The City Corp yard will be reconfigured under a separate locally funded project. There are two (2) wetland areas (the “2c” and “New” basins) that are part of the Line M Flood Control system and the realignment modifications to that system impact the two (2) basins and result in the requirement of the construction of mitigation measures.

Phase 2, the Gateway Site will construct Quarry Lakes Parkway from Old Alameda Creek to Alvarado-Niles Road and realign existing Quarry Lakes Drive, moving the road closer to Old Alameda Creek for maximizing the development site on the former Caltrans property. Phase 2 will treat all the new storm water runoff from the new roadway and requires the re-evaluation and redesign of the water quality treatment basin, the hydromodification basin and the new outfall structure(s) into Old Alameda Creek. The city/consultant has been working with RWQCB to identify onsite wetland mitigation measures opportunities within Old Alameda Creek, but after the extensive research and discussion with partner agencies, it has been agreed that an offsite option be pursued. This segment when completed, could also support the new housing on the Gateway site (Caltrans LATIP site). The City scheduling assumptions include this as the first phase that is constructed.

Phase 3, the Niles Sub Grade Separation and 11th Street extension will construct Quarry Lakes Parkway from 7th Street to 11th Street providing a new secondary access to the 100-acre Station District Area site along 11th Street and the main access to the future intercity rail station and layover facility. Phase 3 also includes the proposed Niles Sub Grade Separation Structure (underpass) along with the required railroad shoofly during construction of the bridge structure. 228 of 303
Regional Measure 3 Initial Project Report

The extension of 11th Street from Decoto Road to new Quarry Lakes Parkway is critical for completing the required local circulation serving existing and planned development around the Union City BART station Priority Development Area that will support 2,000 new housing units.

Phase 4, the BART and Oakland Subdivision Grade Separations (not included in this IPR) is proposed to be designed to accommodate the future intercity rail service (ACE Station) along the Oakland Subdivision railroad trackway next to the BART Station, as proposed by Southern Alameda County Integrated Rail Project. Phase 4 will construct Quarry Lakes Parkway from Alvarado-Niles Road to 11th Street, completing the Quarry Lakes Parkway multimodal corridor within Union City.

The right of way for the entire Quarry Lakes Parkway multimodal corridor is publicly owned by Union City, Fremont and Alameda County Water District and when this roadway is completed, it will connect the various levels of affordability and market-rate housing that is being developed in the area with attractive alternative modes of travel (walk, bike or transit) for future residents. Union City is also working with SJRRC for how this QLP project and future intercity rail project will be coordinated..

The future Phase 5, the Paseo Padre Connection will construct Quarry Lakes Parkway from Paseo Padre Parkway in Fremont to Old Alameda Creek in Union City. Phase 5 when completed, will provide an alternative transportation corridor parallel to Decoto Road/Dumbarton Corridor for local residents and businesses and will significantly improve travel time and transit operations along the Dumbarton / Decoto Corridor for AC Transit, Dumbarton Express, Tech Shuttles and UC Transit. c. Impediments to Project Completion
The 2009 East West Connector (renamed Decoto Complete Streets/Quarry Lakes Parkway) EIR identified environmental mitigation measures including regulatory agency permits (for water quality treatment, roadway drainage (hydromod), the Line M channel relocation, new outfall structure(s) in Alameda Creek and wetland mitigation). To maximize land-use opportunities and as part of the Complete Streets design features added to the project, these mitigation measures needed to be reviewed, updated and have been recently evaluated as part of consultation with regulatory and resource agencies with their initial concurrence. The city also continues coordination with Union Pacific Railroad and BART on the grade separation structures and shoofly design updates before the preparation of Construction and Maintenance Agreements (required for Construction). Another known risk is hazardous material within the railroad right of ways and City will continue to coordinate with DTSC (Department of Toxic Waste and Substance). d. Risk Management (describe risk management process for project budget and schedule, levels of contingency and how they were determined, and risk assessment tools used) Project risks include known engineering design complexities, construction challenges, required permits from regulatory agencies, Union Pacific Railroad and BART and continued coordination with other cities, transit agencies, funding agencies, public, etc. A Project Risk Register has been prepared 229 of 303
Regional Measure 3 Initial Project Report

to identify High, Medium and Low risk items and related potential project impacts to design, schedule, costs and construction. With the limited project funding, the City will continue to evaluate project phasing implementation construction packages to support the adjacent residential development projects. The RM3 funds are proposed to be utilized so that the Phase 1 and 2 components of the project can be constructed, priority phases to support new housing in the area. e. Operability (describe entities responsible for operating and maintaining project once completed/implemented)

The Phase 1 and 2 subprojects are at the 65% design level and the corridor mitigation requirements are being discussed with the resource agencies with a permit application submitted to the RWQCB in February 2025. The final mitigation requirements have been defined. The overall project funding plan has been updated since the last IPR submittal (in February 2024) with adjustments to the funding plan included to reflect the need to fund off site mitigation improvements, design work and initial Corp yard work for Phase 1, and Phase 2 construction work. Initial Phase 1 Corp yard work is scheduled to begin in early 2026. All phases have secured CEQA clearance and the Corp yard work NEPA document is being reviewed. The corridor mitigation agreement is scheduled to be finalized in late 2025, and Phase 2 construction phase to begin in July 2026.
b. Describe the scope of the allocation request. Provide background and other details as necessary. The scope must be consistent with the RM3 statute. If the scope differs from the most recent IPR for this project, please describe the reason for any changes here; a revised IPR may be necessary.

The RM3 funds are requested to be used for three components in the corridor, as detailed in the revised IPR submitted with this allocation request.

Corridor Mitigation Component– The City is requesting the allocation of $13 M of the RM3 funds for the corridor mitigation requirements. The city has been working with RWQCB to identify onsite wetland mitigation measures opportunities within Old Alameda Creek, but after extensive research and discussion with partner agencies, it has been agreed that an offsite option be pursued. The procurement of offsite mitigation includes payment to the offsite mitigation agency. The sum of the fees will cover the design, construction and ongoing maintenance of the offsite mitigation site. The Quarry Lakes Parkway project will have effects on waters, wetlands, riparian habitat, and habitat for several threatened species (including the California tiger salamander and the California red-legged frog). The project is required to mitigate temporary and permanent effects on these habitats.

Phase 1 Corp Yard Component - The City is requesting the allocation of $1 M of the RM3 funds for the Phase 1 Corp Yard component. Phase 1 is at a 65% design level and the City is requesting the allocation of final design funds as part of this RM3 allocation request ($2.578 M).

Improvements to transit bus storage area are required to occur in advance of the Phase 1 roadway construction in order for transit operations to not be impacted.

Phase 2 Construction Component – The City is requesting the allocation of $8.422 M ($.150M + $8.272M) of the RM3 funds for the Phase 2 ROW and construction components. The ROW component will allow for work to prepare the site for the construction contractor (utilities and existing structures). Phase 2 is at a 65% design level and ACTC has allocated the funds to complete the design. The Phase 2 project is scheduled to complete design phase in mid 2026. 241 of 303
c. Deliverable segment budget – please fill out attached Excel file. If the budget differs from the most recent IPR for this project, please describe the reason for any changes here; a revised IPR may be necessary.

The budget has been revised based on the latest work completed (65% Design of Phase 1 and 2) and discussions with ACTC on funding strategy (ACTC is also a funding partner). A revised IPR is included.
d. Schedule – what is the expected completion date of the phase for this allocation? Describe any significant milestones.
