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.

Agenda Item No. 3.7
DATE: January 27, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Joan Malloy, City Manager
SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Accepting Completion of the Citywide Full Trash Capture Device Installation Project, City Project No. 25-11, and Authorizing Release of the Retention Payment to United Storm Water, Inc.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution accepting the Citywide Full Trash Capture Device Installation Project, City Project No. 25-11, including authorizing the release of the $7,327.20 retention payment to United Storm Water, Inc.

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

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

BACKGROUND
On April 22, 2025, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2025-049, awarding a construction contract to United Storm Water, Inc., in the amount of $133,641, and approving a construction budget, with contingency, in the amount of $153,688, for the Citywide Full Trash Capture Device Installation Project, City Project No. 25-11. The contractor has completed the project in accordance with the project plans and specifications.

DISCUSSION
The project scope is part of the City’s compliance requirement with the State Regional Water Quality Control Board’s Municipal Regional Stormwater National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit to implement a 100% trash reduction by installing additional Full Trash Capture Devices (FTCDs) within the public right-of-way.

A Full Trash Capture Feasibility Study completed in 2023 identified the need for 93 33 of 187
Agenda Item No. 3.7
City Council Staff Report Page 2 of 3 January 27, 2026
additional FTCDs in the public right-of-way, in addition to 562 previously installed connector pipe screens (CPS) units, to achieve incremental progress toward full trash reduction. The study also identified 115 additional FTCDs on private property that must fully meet the trash reduction mandate. Coordination for private-side installations is being addressed separately by the Public Works Department in conjunction with the City Attorney’s Office and is outside the scope of this project.

Under this contract, 87 FTCDs were successfully installed in public rights-of-way. Of these, 80 units were connector pipe screens (CPS), and 7 units were hanging basket devices. These installations collectively provide 100% trash capture coverage for applicable public catch basins in the rights-of-way.

During construction and field verification, six locations were removed from the original 93 identified locations. These locations were determined to be either private drainage facilities, non-catch basin structures, or inlets that were already connected to pre-existing Continuous Deflective Separation (CDS) devices that provide equivalent full trash capture. As these locations already met the trash capture requirements or were outside the City’s jurisdiction, installation of the 6 FTCDs was not warranted.

United Storm Water, Inc., successfully manufactured and installed the FTCD units. The final cost for the project is $146,544, which includes savings from the 6 FTCDs eliminated from the scope and a change order to fabricate and install hanging baskets at locations where CPS installation was non-feasible. Overall, the project was completed as intended, within budget, and represents a significant step toward achieving the City’s long-term trash reduction compliance goals.

Approved Construction Budget with Contingency $153,688.00 Construction Contract Baseline Costs $114,960.00
Change Order #1 $31,584.00
Total Project Cost $146,544.00

FISCAL IMPACT
This project is funded from the FY 2023-2024 Solid Waste Street Restoration Fund (Fund 262, Account No. 262-92322-54111, per Resolution No. 2025-049) as identified in the Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for FY 2023-2024 through FY 2027-2028.

There were sufficient funds for the total project cost.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution:

1. Accepting the Citywide Full Trash Capture Device Installation Project, City Project No. 25-11; and

2. Authorizing the release of the retention payment, in the amount of $7,327.20, to United Storm Water Inc.

Agenda Item No. 3.8
DATE: January 27, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Joan Malloy, City Manager
SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Approving the Renewal of a Microsoft Enterprise Agreement with Softchoice Corporation, Inc. and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute the Agreement

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a Resolution approving the renewal of a Microsoft Enterprise Agreement with Softchoice Corporation, Inc., for a three-year term, in a not-to-exceed aggregate sum of $521,603.52 and authorizing the City Manager to execute the Agreement in a form approved by the City Attorney. The Microsoft Agreement licenses the City’s use of the Office 365 cloud tenant platform for 342 users and the on-premise use of the Microsoft operating systems and software specified in the Agreement. The annual cost of $173,867.84 has been budgeted for FY 2025–2026, with future costs to be appropriated in subsequent budgets. Approval ensures continued productivity, security, and compliance for City operations.

STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
Although this agenda item does not align with a specific Strategic Plan goal, approval will support staff productivity through a suite of critical office tools.

BACKGROUND
Union City maintains a Microsoft Enterprise Agreement for all Microsoft products, including Windows OS, Remote Desktop, SQL Server, and Office 365. The Office 365 suite includes Exchange email with Threat Protection, SharePoint Online, Teams, OneDrive, Advanced Security, and Office applications such as Outlook, Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint, Visio, and OneNote.

The most recent renewal, which occurred in January 2023, provided licenses for 324 users at a total cost of $438,157.83 over a three-year term. Additionally, in August 2025, the City incorporated P2 Entra Identity Protection for all users at an expense of $4,008.00.

This service enhanced visibility and delivered automated identity protection for users accessing cloud services through Microsoft Azure SSO.
42 of 187
Agenda Item No. 3.8
City Council Staff Report Page 2 of 2 January 27, 2026

DISCUSSION
The Microsoft agreement authorizes the use of the Microsoft cloud platform, Office 365, and software to manage the City's servers and client computers. This includes all Windows operating systems for City-owned desktops and laptops, all Windows server operating systems for on-premise servers, SQL database software used by the City's financial application, Tyler Munis, and other database applications, as well as the full suite of Office 365 applications employed by all City employees. The Office 365 applications encompass Exchange email with Threat Protection, SharePoint Online, Teams, OneDrive cloud storage, Advanced Security, and the complete suite of Office applications (Outlook, Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint, Visio, and OneNote) installed on all city computers.

The new agreement increases the user license count by twelve (12) G3 standard licenses and eight (8) advanced G5 licenses. The additional standard licenses support the increased utilization of annuitants and contract staff by departments. The advanced G5 licenses have been included to facilitate the management of AI tools and provide auditing capabilities for ITS administrators. The Microsoft agreement is administered through Softchoice Corporation, Inc., a certified Microsoft partner. Softchoice is a leading technology solution and service provider in North America.

FISCAL IMPACT
The $173,867.84 annual cost of this service agreement was added and approved in the FY 2025-2026 budget. As there are sufficient funds budgeted to cover the cost of this service agreement, there will be no fiscal impact to the FY 2025-2026 Adopted Budget.

Agenda Item No. 3.9
DATE: January 27, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Joan Malloy, City Manager
SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Award a Contract to Municipal Maintenance Equipment for the Purchase of a Truck-Mounted Debris Collector, in the Amount of $274,880.34, Authorizing the Transfer of $288,624.36 from the Solid Waste Street Restoration Fund to the Fleet Replacement Fund, and Authorizing the Appropriation of $288,624.36 from the Fleet Replacement Fund to Fund the Purchase of a Truck-Mounted Debris Collector

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to award a contract to Municipal Maintenance Equipment for the purchase of a truckmounted debris collector, in the amount of $274,880.34, authorizing the transfer of $288,624.36 from the Solid Waste Vehicle Impact Fund to the Fleet Replacement Fund, and authorizing the appropriation of $288,624.36 from the Fleet Replacement Fund to fund the purchase of a truck-mounted debris collector.

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

Goal D, Strategy 8: Environmental Sustainability and Infrastructure – Create a healthy, sustainable community and maintain and improve the City’s infrastructure.

BACKGROUND
In late November 2025, the City’s debris collector became inoperable. Staff attempted repairs, using aftermarket parts, as the equipment's age makes it difficult to locate suitable replacement parts. Repair efforts proved unsuccessful, and the equipment was deemed irreparable.

Since November, Public Works has received numerous complaints from residents about street sweeping operations, citing that debris and leaves were not thoroughly picked up in their neighborhoods.
53 of 187
Agenda Item No. 3.9
City Council Staff Report Page 2 of 2 January 27, 2026
Public Works crews continue street sweeping operations with limited equipment to pick up and collect debris, foliage, and leaves, especially from the series of heavy rains, winds, and storms in late December 2025 to early January 2026.

DISCUSSION
Staff procured a quote from Municipal Maintenance Equipment for a truck-mounted debris collector on January 9, 2026, through a Sourcewell cooperative government purchasing contract. The cost of the equipment is $274,880.34. Staff recommends budgeting a 5% contingency for unforeseen expenses, bringing the total purchase amount to $288,624.36.

As this was an unanticipated expense, staff requests that the City Council authorize the appropriation of $288,624.36 from the fund balance of the Solid Waste Vehicle Impact Fund (Fund 262) as identified in the Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan for Fiscal Years 2025-2026 to 2029-2030 to fund this emergency purchase.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is a fund balance available in the Solid Waste Street Restoration Fund to cover this unanticipated expenditure of $288,624.36. These funds will be transferred from the Solid Waste Street Restoration Fund to the Fleet Replacement Fund to purchase this truckmounted debris collector.

There is no fiscal impact on the General Fund.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution:

1. Authorizing the City Manager to award a contract to Municipal Maintenance Equipment for the purchase of a truck-mounted debris collector, in the amount of $274,880.34, plus a five percent contingency for a total amount of $288,624.36;

2. Authorizing a transfer, in the amount of $288,624.36, from the fund balance of the Solid Waste Street Restoration Fund to the Fleet Replacement Fund; and

3. Authorizing an appropriation, in the amount of $288,624.36, from the Fleet Replacement fund for the purchase of the truck-mounted debris collector.

Agenda Item No. 3.10
DATE: January 27, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Joan Malloy, City Manager
SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Approving the Union City Transit and Paratransit Title VI Program

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution approving the Union City Transit and Paratransit Title VI Program.

STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
Goal B (Strategy 9): Produce high-quality services to the community through a commitment to local government best practices and employee development, support, and retention.

Goal E (Strategy 9): Build strong connections with community partners, residents, and employees.

BACKGROUND
Every three (3) years, the City of Union City is required to update its Title VI Program to maintain eligibility to receive federal funding assistance from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination based on race, color, or national origin in programs or activities that receive federal financial assistance.

On January 24, 2023, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 6069-23, approving the Union City Transit and Paratransit Title VI Program for April 1, 2023, through March 31, 2026.

DISCUSSION
The City of Union City, which operates Union City Transit and Paratransit, has prepared a Title VI Program in accordance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. 2000d, et seq., and its implementing regulations, which state that no person shall be subject to discrimination based on race, color, or national origin. The program complies 59 of 187
Agenda Item No. 3.10
City Council Staff Report Page 2 of 2 January 27, 2026
with the requirements and guidelines outlined in the FTA's Circular C 4702.1B, dated October 1, 2012.

The primary focus of Title VI compliance is to inform customers of their civil rights under Title VI and to provide a process for receiving and recording valid customer complaints.

The Title VI Program must be updated every three (3) years to maintain eligibility for federal grant funding from the FTA.

FISCAL IMPACT
The costs associated with implementing the Tile VI Program are expected to be nominal and will be funded by the existing Transit and Paratransit operating budgets.

There will be no impact on the General Fund.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution approving the Union City Transit and Paratransit Title VI Program.

TITLE VI PROGRAM| MARCH 2026

1.4.11 Determination of site or location of facilities
Requirement
Title 49 CFR Section 21.9(b)(3) states, “In determining the site or location of facilities, a recipient or applicant may not make selections with the purpose or effect of excluding persons from, denying them the benefits of, or subjecting them to discrimination under any program to which this regulation applies, on the grounds of race, color, or national origin; or with the purpose or effect of defeating or substantially impairing the accomplishment of the objectives of the Act or this part.” Title 49 CFR part 21, Appendix C, Section (3)(iv) provides, “The location of projects requiring land acquisition and the displacement of persons from their residences and businesses may not be determined on the basis of race, color, or national origin.” For the purposes of this requirement, “facilities” does not include bus shelters, as these are transit amenities and are covered in Chapter IV, nor does it include transit stations, power substations, etc. as those are evaluated during project development and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process. Facilities included in this provision include, but are not limited to, storage facilities, maintenance facilities, operations centers, etc.

Response
The City of Union City has not constructed any new facilities, as defined by the requirement, for the reporting period of this Title VI Program.

In the event a new facility, as defined by the requirement, is required, the City of Union City will ensure that both environmental analysis and Title VI environmental justice requirements are incorporated into the scope of work for all facilities projects.

1. City of Union City will complete a Title VI equity analysis during the planning stage with regard to where a project is located or sited to ensure the location is selected without regard to race, color, or national origin. City of Union City will engage in outreach to persons potentially impacted by the siting of facilities. The Title VI equity analysis will compare the equity impacts of various siting alternatives, and the analysis will occur before selection of the preferred site.

2. When evaluating locations of facilities, City of Union City will give attention to other facilities with similar impacts in the area to determine if any cumulative adverse impacts might result. Analysis will be done at the Census tract or block group where appropriate to ensure that proper perspective is given to localized impacts.

3. If City of Union City determines that the location of the project will result in a disparate impact on the basis of race, color, or national origin, City of Union City will only locate the project in that location if there is a substantial legitimate justification for locating the project there, and where there are no alternative locations that would have a less disparate impact on the basis of race color or nation origin. City of Union City will show how both tests are met and will consider and analyze alternatives to determine whether those alternatives would have less of a disparate impact on the basis of race, color, or national origin, and then implement the least discriminatory alternative. 71 of 187

1.4.12 Requirement to Provide Additional Information
Upon Request
Requirement
The FTA reserves the right to request, at its discretion, any information beyond the standard requirements of this Circular. Such requests are typically made to facilitate the investigation of discrimination complaints or to address and resolve potential concerns regarding noncompliance with USDOT’s Title VI regulations.

Response
The City of Union City is committed to full transparency and will cooperate entirely with any FTA investigation or request for supplemental data. The City will provide all necessary documentation and information required by Title VI regulations to ensure the timely resolution of discrimination complaints or compliance reviews.

1.5 REQUIREMENTS FOR FIXED-ROUTE TRANSIT PROVIDERS

1.5.1 Requirements for Transit Providers Operating 50+

200,000+)
Requirements
Transit providers that meet the threshold of operating fifty (50) or more fixed-route vehicles in peak service and are located in an Urbanized Area (UZA) with a population of 200,000 or more are subject to enhanced reporting. These requirements include the collection and reporting of demographic data, performing service and fare equity analyses, and monitoring transit service performance to ensure equitable distribution.

Response
The City of Union City qualifies for a reduced level of Chapter IV reporting. The City is not included on the FTA’s official list of recipients in urbanized areas with a population of 200,000 or greater that operate at least fifty (50) vehicles in fixed-route peak service. This status is verified via the FTA’s published list of qualifying grantees: FTA Grantees by Region in UZA Pop 200k with 50 Vehicles.

1.5.2 Requirement to Set System-Side Service Standards
and Policies
Requirement
Chapter IV of FTA Circular 4702.1B outlines additional reporting requirements for FTA funding recipients (and their sub-recipients) that operate fixed-route transit service. These standards ensure that service is provided equitably, without regard to race, color, or national origin. 72 of 187
City of Union City – Union City Transit | 1-8
TITLE VI PROGRAM| MARCH 2026
Per Circular 4702.1B, "fixed-route" refers to public transportation service operated along predetermined routes according to a fixed schedule. These requirements do not apply to demandresponse services.” Response
The City of Union City has established the following service standards and policies to ensure equitable transit delivery across the service area
Vehicle Assignment Policy
The City of Union City operates one (1) central bus yard for vehicle dispatching. The fleet consists of 35-foot revenue vehicles with an average age not exceeding 14 years. To ensure modern vehicles are distributed fairly:.
 Fleet Renewal: Eight (8) new buses are scheduled for service in Spring 2026, with seven (7) additional buses on order for delivery in Winter 2028/29.  Assignment Strategy: Vehicles are rotated through multiple routes daily using scheduled route interlining and mixed operator assignments. This process ensures that both newer and older vehicles are utilized across the entire service area rather than concentrated in specific neighborhoods.

Transit Amenities Policy
The City installs and maintains a "complete bus stop package" (one illuminated shelter and one bench) along major arterial roadways. Installation is prioritized based on:

1. High ridership at existing stops.

2. High customer demand regarding safety or comfort.

3. Availability of sidewalk space for ADA-compliant wheelchair access.

2 LANGUAGE ASSISTANCE PLAN

2.1 INTRODUCTION
This Language Assistance Plan (LAP) has been prepared to address the responsibilities of Union City Transit and Paratransit as a recipient of federal financial assistance as they relate to the needs of individuals with Limited English Proficiency (LEP). The plan has been prepared in accordance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. 2000d, et se, and its implementing regulations, which state that no person shall be subjected to discrimination on the basis of race, color or national origin.

Executive Order 13166, titled Improving Access to Services for Persons with Limited English Proficiency, indicates that differing treatment based upon a person’s inability to speak, read, write or understands English is a type of national origin discrimination. It directs each federal agency to publish guidance for its’ respective recipients clarifying their obligation to ensure that such discrimination does not take place. This order applies to all state and local agencies which receive federal funds, including Union City Transit which receives federal assistance through the U.S.

Department of Transportation (USDOT).

2.2 LANGUAGE ASSISTANCE PLAN SUMMARY
Union City Transit and Paratransit has developed an LAP to help identify reasonable steps for providing language assistance to persons with limited English proficiency who wish to access services provided by Union City Transit. As defined in Executive Order 13166, LEP persons are those who do not speak English as their primary language and have limited ability to read, speak, write or understand English.

This plan outlines how to identify a person who may need language assistance, the ways in which assistance may be provided, staff training that may be required, and how to notify LEP persons that assistance is available.

2.3 LIMITED ENGLISH PROFICIENCY FOUR FACTOR ANALYSIS
Union City Transit’s commitment to Title VI compliance is supported by the completion of the USDOT Four-Factor LEP Analysis. This framework examines the following criteria to ensure equitable transit access::

1. The number or proportion of LEP persons in the service area who may be served or are likely to encounter Union City Transit fixed-route or paratransit service.

2. The frequency with which LEP persons come in contact with Union City Transit fixedroute or paratransit service. 75 of 187
LAP PROGRAM| MARCH 2026
City of Union City – Union City Transit | 2-2

3. The nature and importance of services provided by Union City Transit to the LEP population.

4. The resources available to Union City Transit and overall cost to provide LEP assistance.

A summary of the results from the four (4) factor analysis are in the following section.

2.3.1 The number or proportion of LEP persons in the
service area who may be served or are likely to
encounter Union City Transit services

2.3.1.1 Top Languages Spoken in Union City
Union City is home to a diverse population with residents from across the globe. As a recipient of Federal Transit Administration (FTA) funding, Union City Transit and Paratransit are required to ensure that no individual is denied access to public transportation due to a limited ability to speak or understand English.

Data Methodology and Changes
To identify these populations, the city utilizes the American Community Survey (ACS). This report uses composite estimates from 2019 to 2023. It is important to note two significant changes in how this data is reported:
• Reporting Structure: Prior to 2021, ACS Table B16001 tracked over 1,000 language classifications. Between 2015 and 2019, Union City identified 35 distinct languages spoken in local households.
• Current Categories: Following 2021, the Census Bureau consolidated these into 11 broad language categories (excluding English), as reflected in Figure 2.1 below.

FTA Safe Harbor Thresholds
The FTA establishes "Safe Harbor" thresholds to determine when a transit agency must provide translated materials or specialized outreach. A language group is considered significant if it meets either of the following criteria:

1. It constitutes 5% of the total population.

2. It includes at least 1,000 persons.

In Union City, three (3) unique non-English language groups(†) meet these criteria, representing 43% of the total surveyed population.

Summary of Findings
Chinese speakers represent the largest Limited English Proficient (LEP) group at 5.41%, exceeding both the 1,000-person and 5% FTA thresholds. While Spanish, Tagalog, and "Other Indo-European" groups also exceed the 1,000-person threshold, their percentage of "Less Than Well" English speakers is lower relative to the total population. These figures guide the city's prioritization of translated vital documents and bilingual staffing.

2.3.1.2 English Learner Data: New Haven Unified School District Annual student enrollment data from the California Department of Education provides a granular look at the English Learner (EL) population within the New Haven Unified School District. This data in Figure 2.2 serves to corroborate the Census Bureau’s ACS findings, offering a contemporary snapshot of the diverse languages spoken in Union City households.

Comparison to ACS Data
The school district’s data closely aligns with the linguistic trends identified in Figure 2.1. Notably, the top five language groups (†) identified by the ACS—excluding English—account for approximately 72.68% of all English Learners in the district.

While the ACS often groups related dialects, the school district data provides more specific breakdowns (for example, separating Cantonese and Mandarin). This level of detail allows Union City Transit to better understand the nuances of the community’s communication needs. 77 of 187

Key Observations
• Spanish Dominance: Spanish remains the most significant non-English language in the school system, representing over half (53.66%) of the English Learner population. • Secondary Groups: Punjabi and Persian (Farsi) are prominent secondary groups, consistent with the "Other Indo-European" category in the ACS data. • Asian Dialects: When combined, Mandarin and Cantonese speakers represent 12.02% of English Learners, reinforcing the need for Chinese-language transit materials.

2.3.1.3 Priority Languages for Transit Accessibility
Identifying the Threshold
In accordance with American Community Survey (ACS) methodology, residents are categorized based on whether they speak English "not well" or "not at all." Individuals in the latter category are considered Limited English Proficient (LEP). Union City Transit focuses its outreach and translation efforts on groups that exceed the 5% population threshold for LEP status.

Analysis and Next Steps
As shown in the data, Asian and Pacific Island is the only language group that currently comes close to the 5% threshold, representing 4.91% of the surveyed population. While Spanish (1.98%) account for less than 2% of those who speak English “not well: of “not at all”, he Chinese-speaking LEP population remains the highest priority for formalized language assistance plans.

2.3.1.4 Language Proficiency Among Public Transportation Commuters To refine its outreach and service delivery, Union City Transit analyzes the linguistic profiles of residents who utilize public transportation for their daily commute. While the American Community Survey (ACS) identifies general transit commuters rather than specific Union City Transit riders, this data provides a vital proxy for understanding the proficiency levels of the local ridership.

However, the primary demographic for language support services consists of the 383 commuters (22.42%) who identify as Limited English Proficient (LEP), meaning they speak English "less than very well." As detailed in Figure 2.4, the vast majority of these LEP commuters fall within the "Other Languages" category, which includes Chinese and Punjabi speakers.

Key Findings
• High Multilingual Ridership: Less than 1% (0.68%) of commuters speak exclusively English, highlighting the multicultural nature of the city's transit user base (3.51%). • Significant LEP Presence: While Spanish speakers represent nearly 10% of riders, the vast majority of Spanish-speaking commuters report high English proficiency. • Focus on "Other" Languages: The most significant portion of the LEP ridership falls within the "Other Languages" category (which includes Chinese and Punjabi).

Roughly 22% of all transit commuters speak these languages and have limited English proficiency.

Conclusion
These findings emphasize that language assistance efforts should not only be available but should be specifically tailored toward the non-Spanish, multilingual groups that represent over one-fifth of the total commuting population.

2.3.1.5 Languages Recognized and Spoken by Staff Providing Union City Transit Services
A survey was conducted among 72 personnel—including city employees and contractors—who provide Union City Transit and Paratransit services and interact directly with the public. The findings from thirty-five (35) respondents demonstrate a high level of "linguistic awareness," as staff can often recognize the language or geographic origin (such as Asia or India) of a customer even when they are not fluent in that specific language. Figure 2.5 80 of 187
LAP PROGRAM| MARCH 2026
City of Union City – Union City Transit | 2-7
Key Findings: Recognition and Proficiency
The survey results shown in Figure 2.5 align closely with the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (ACS) data for Union City:
• Recognition: Staff frequently identified Spanish (65.71%), Chinese (37.14%), and Punjabi (22.86%) as the most common languages spoken by customers. • Proficiency: More than half of the respondents (51.43%) are proficient in Spanish, enabling direct assistance to Spanish-speaking riders. Furthermore, 11.43% of the workforce is proficient in Chinese, with an equal percentage (11.43%) fluent in Punjabi.

Demographic Alignment
The high recognition of Spanish, Chinese, and Indic languages (such as Punjabi and Hindi) confirms that staff capabilities are consistent with local demographics. Interestingly, the high frequency of these encounters suggests that the actual transit-using population may differ from the broader "Limited English Proficient" (LEP) groups identified in the ACS. This indicates that current outreach efforts are successfully reaching these key linguistic groups.

2.3.2 Frequency of Contact with LEP Individuals
A six-question survey was administered to 72 personnel involved in Union City Transit and Paratransit services, including city employees and contractors. Among the 35 respondents, the study evaluated the frequency of interactions between frontline staff and Limited English Proficient (LEP) individuals.

Interaction Frequency Analysis
The results indicate that the vast majority of staff interact with LEP customers on a regular basis.

Specifically, 91.43% of respondents encounter an LEP customer at least once per week. The most common frequency reported was 1–5 interactions per week, accounting for 65.71% of the workforce.

Linguistic Awareness vs. Assistance
The survey highlights a high level of linguistic awareness among staff. Most employees can recognize a customer's language and provide basic assistance even without being fluent in that language. Notably, the data revealed a specific challenge: a significant percentage of staff can identify a language they are personally familiar with but still feel unable to provide the technical or detailed assistance required for a specific transit transaction.

2.3.3 The nature and importance of services provided by Union City Transit to the LEP population
To ensure equitable access, Union City Transit evaluates how its services intersect with the needs of Limited English Proficient (LEP) residents. This involves comparing demographic data against specific transit service points where communication is critical.

Identifying the LEP Population
The primary language groups requiring assistance are consistently identified across three data sources:
• Census Data (ACS): Identifies Chinese, Spanish, Tagalog, and Vietnamese as the largest LEP concentrations.
83 of 187
LAP PROGRAM| MARCH 2026
City of Union City – Union City Transit | 2-10
• Educational Data (CDE): Highlights Spanish, Filipino (Tagalog), Punjabi, and Chinese (Cantonese/Mandarin) as the most frequent languages among English learners. • Staff Observations: Personnel report regular interactions with speakers of Spanish, Chinese, Tagalog, and Punjabi.

High-Contact Service Points
Union City Transit identifies the following service areas as critical "touchpoints" where language barriers may impact a rider's ability to utilize the system:

Verbal Communication Requirements:
• Fixed-Route Bus Service: Interactions with drivers regarding routes, stops, and fare payment.
• Paratransit Service: Specialized communication for eligibility, scheduling, and door-todoor assistance. • City Hall Cashier’s Window: Vital transactions involving the purchase of transit and paratransit fare products.

Non-Verbal and Navigational Requirements:

High-traffic environments requiring clear signage, printed schedules, and digital wayfinding to assist LEP passengers in navigating regional transit connections. • Union City BART Station
• Union Landing Transit Center
• Union City Transit brochure
• Union City Paratransit Rider’s Guide
• Service Advisories (Rider Alerts).

2.3.4 Staff Language Capacity and Supplemental
Resources
A one-page survey was distributed to 84 personnel—including municipal employees and contract operations and maintenance staff—to assess internal linguistic resources. Based on the thirty-five (35) surveys returned (a 42% response rate), the following spoken proficiencies were identified:.

City of Union City – Union City Transit | 2-11
Analysis of Existing Translation Tools
While the presence of bilingual staff provides a significant benefit for real-time translation, their availability across all shifts and service locations is not guaranteed. To supplement internal staff capacity, the City currently utilizes the following:
• Public Safety Model: The Union City Police Department currently employs a professional telephonic interpretation service for non-English callers, providing a framework that could be expanded to transit services.
• Web Accessibility: The City’s official website includes an automated translation feature for all digital content.
• Community-Led Translation: The September 2022 Map and Schedules brochure was translated into Spanish and Chinese through a collaborative effort involving city staff, contractors, and community volunteers.

Future Requirements
To maintain high standards of accuracy and reliability for "vital documents," Union City Transit recognizes the need to transition from volunteer-based translation to professional written translation services. Future priorities for formalized translation include:
• Standardized System Maps and Route Schedules.
• Paratransit program brochures and eligibility materials. • Official service announcements and rider alerts.

2.4 LEP IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
Based on the four (4) factor analysis, Union City Transit developed its LEP Plan into five (5) areas as follows:
 Identifying LEP individuals who need language assistance  Language assistance measures
 Training staff
 Providing notice to LEP persons
 Monitoring and updating the LEP Plan

2.4.1 Identifying LEP Individuals and Language Assistance Measures
How Union City Transit may identify an LEP person who needs language assistance  Data Collection and Tracking: Union City Transit will begin documenting language assistance requests received via telephone and during public meetings. This data will be used to identify emerging linguistic trends and determine the necessary accommodations for future public outreach events.
85 of 187
LAP PROGRAM| MARCH 2026
City of Union City – Union City Transit | 2-12
 Active Participant Engagement: During transit-sponsored events, staff will be stationed at entry points to greet participants. These informal interactions allow personnel to gauge the English proficiency of attendees in real-time and provide immediate, low-level navigation assistance if required.  Self-Identification Tools: Census Bureau Language Identification Flashcards (see Appendix G) will be made available at registration tables during all public events. While immediate translation may not be available for every language identified on-site, this "self-identification" process is vital for documenting specific language needs and planning professional interpretation for future engagements.

2.4.2 Language Assistance Measures
Union City Transit is committed to providing meaningful access to its services through a variety of oral and written language assistance measures. These strategies ensure that staff can effectively respond to LEP individuals in person, over the phone, or through written correspondence.

Implementation Strategies for LEP Assistance
To support Limited English Proficient (LEP) individuals, Union City Transit will implement the following measures:

Community Partnership & Outreach:
• Senior Centers: Collaborate with local senior centers to disseminate vital information regarding transit programs and services directly to LEP populations. • Human Service Organizations: Network with local organizations serving LEP individuals to identify opportunities for joint outreach and information sharing.

Public Meetings & Legal Notices:
• Interpreter Statements: Include formal notices in all public publications stating that interpreter services are available for public hearings upon advanced request. • Direct Support Services:
• Professional Interpretation: When a language barrier is encountered in person or via telephone, staff will utilize professional translation services or qualified staff. • Language Identification Tools: Provide Language Identification Flashcards (Appendix G) at City Hall, on all transit vehicles, in Road Supervisor vehicles, and at administrative offices to help staff quickly identify a customer's primary language.

Digital & Administrative Resources:
• Online Accessibility: Maintain the Title VI Program and Language Access Plan (LAP) on the official website (www.uctransit.org) and continue offering an online translation tool for all web content.
• Staff Monitoring: Conduct an annual survey of transit personnel to document their experiences and the frequency of their contacts with LEP individuals over the previous year.

2.4.3 Staff Training and Education
To ensure the effective delivery of the Language Access Plan (LAP), Union City Transit will implement a comprehensive training program for all frontline staff, supervisors, and contractors. This training is designed to standardize the agency's response to Limited English Proficient (LEP) individuals and ensure "meaningful access" across all service points.

Training Program Components
The curriculum will include the following core elements:
• Regulatory Framework: Education on Title VI of the Civil Rights Act and specific FTA requirements regarding non-discrimination and language access for LEP populations.
• Service Overview: A detailed orientation on the full suite of language assistance services offered by Union City Transit, including digital tools, telephonic interpretation, and translated materials.
• Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs): Clear, step-by-step instructions on the protocols to follow when encountering an LEP individual. This includes:
• Initial engagement and language identification.
• Accessing professional translation or interpretation resources. • Reporting and documenting the interaction.
• Complaint Handling: Guidance on identifying and processing potential Title VI/LEP grievances to ensure all customer concerns are handled according to federal guidelines.

2.4.4 Providing Notice to LEP Persons
Union City Transit employs a multi-channel approach to ensure that Limited English Proficient (LEP) individuals are informed of available services and their rights. Notifications are delivered through both oral and written communications, with a focus on Spanish and Chinese—the primary languages identified in the demographic analysis.

Oral Communication and Interpretation Services:

To facilitate real-time interaction and verbal notification, the agency implements the following:
• Telephonic Interpretation: As of January 2026, the Administrative Services Department is evaluating a renewed professional phone-based interpretation service. Union City Transit is integrated into this system to provide immediate assistance to non-English speaking callers.
• Public Meeting Accommodations: All notices for public hearings and community meetings include a clear statement affirming that Union City Transit will provide interpreters upon request, provided advance notice is given. 87 of 187
LAP PROGRAM| MARCH 2026
City of Union City – Union City Transit | 2-14
• Vital Document Verification: The agency utilizes professional translation providers to ensure the oral explanation and written accuracy of "vital documents"—those essential for accessing transit benefits or services.

Written Communication and Translated Materials:

Union City Transit prioritizes the translation of key informational assets into Spanish and Chinese to maintain consistency with local LEP needs:
• Rights and Compliance: Non-discrimination policies and instructions for the local/federal complaint process (Title VI) are available in both Spanish and Chinese. • Passenger Guides: The general information section of the system maps and schedules—covering fares, hours of operation, pass sales, and accessibility—is fully translated. • Service Alerts and Interior Signage: * Rider Alerts: Onboard flyers and posted notices regarding route changes, fare increases, or public hearings are provided in Spanish and Chinese. • Interior Bus Cards: Onboard fare displays and informational cards include bilingual translations.
• Digital Access: The official website (www.uctransit.org) features an integrated webpage translation tool.
• Data Collection: All onboard passenger surveys are distributed in Spanish and Chinese to ensure diverse rider feedback is captured.

2.4.5 Monitoring and Updating the Language Assistance
Plan
This plan is designed to be flexible, and should be viewed as a work in progress. As such, it is important to consider whether new documents and services need to be made accessible for LEP persons, and also to monitor changes in demographics and types of services.

How Union City Transit will examine and update the LAP
Union City Transit will update the LAP as required by USDOT. At a minimum, the LAP will be reviewed and updated when a Title VI Program update is due every three (3) years; if time and resources permit, the LAP will be reviewed annually when it is clear that higher concentrations of LEP individuals are present in the Union City Transit service area. The following details the methodology that will be used:
 Record and report the number of LEP persons encountered annually as documented by Union City and Union City Transit staff;
88 of 187
LAP PROGRAM| MARCH 2026
City of Union City – Union City Transit | 2-15
 Determine how the needs of LEP persons have been addressed;  Determine the current LEP population in the service area and whether the need for translation services has changed;
 Determine whether local language assistance programs have been effective and sufficient to meet the need;
 Determine whether transit system’s financial resources are sufficient to fund language assistance resources needed;
 Determine whether the Union City Transit and its Contractor have fully complied with the goals of this LAP;
 Determine whether complaints have been received concerning the agency’s failure to meet the needs of LEP individuals.

Dissemination of the Union City Transit Language Assistance Plan The Union City Transit LAP will be disseminated to customers and the community as follows:
 A link to the Union City Transit Title VI Program and Language Assistance Plan will be included on the Union City Transit website, www.uctransit.org.  Any person or agency with internet access will be able to access and download the plan from the Union City Transit website, www.uctransit.org. Alternatively, any person or agency may request a copy of the plan via telephone, fax, mail, or in person (at Union City City Hall), and shall be provided a copy of the plan at no cost. LEP individuals may request a translated copy.

3.2.2 Public Meetings and Hearings
Publicly noticed community meetings and public hearings serve as essential interactive forums where stakeholders can access the most current project information. These sessions typically feature comprehensive presentations detailing project updates, service modifications, or fare proposals, followed by moderated open discussions. By facilitating these meetings early in the planning process and at key decision-making milestones, Union City Transit ensures that community input is solicited and integrated from the outset.

Documentation and Transparency
To maintain transparency and accountability, staff compile all public comments, meeting notes, and formal written statements. This documentation is then presented as a formal record during public hearings to inform final decisions. Information regarding upcoming engagement opportunities is distributed through high-visibility channels, including Union City City Hall, onboard vehicle displays, transit centers, and official city and transit websites. All outreach materials explicitly include contact information and instructions on how the public can submit feedback directly to Union City Transit staff.

Accessibility and Format
Union City Transit prioritizes inclusivity by holding meetings at locations that are both transitaccessible and compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Meetings are scheduled at varying times to accommodate diverse work schedules. By collaborating with other City departments and community-based organizations, staff identifies convenient locations and times that maximize participation for specific neighborhoods.

Staff adapts the meeting format based on the specific project or audience. Generally, two formats are used:
• Formal Public Hearings: Conducted during regularly scheduled City Council meetings. • Open-Format Meetings: Held at community centers to allow for direct interaction, presentations, and informal feedback.

Communication Tools and Visual Aids
To ensure effective communication, Union City Transit utilizes various illustrative visual aids, including drawings, charts, graphs, photos, and maps. Staff often uses PowerPoint presentations— which can be translated into other languages as needed—and provides instructions on accessing digital trip planning and real-time information.

Feedback Collection Methods
Beyond verbal discussions, the agency uses several methods to solicit structured input:
• Surveys: Administered via the website, at bus stops, or onboard vehicles to gather targeted data.
• Comment Forms: Provided as an alternative or supplement to surveys. These are made available at community centers, transit hubs, and through "seat-drops" on vehicles. 91 of 187
City of Union City – Union City Transit | 3-3
PUBLIC PARTICIPATION| MARCH 2026
• Direct Engagement: Staff may also distribute forms and surveys in person during community events or while riding the transit system to ensure a broad range of perspectives is captured.

3.2.3 Community Events

• Economic Opportunity: Current projects open for public bid within Union City.

To ensure the site is accessible to the city's diverse population, Union City Transit has integrated Google Translate into the platform. This tool allows visitors to instantly translate all website content into multiple languages, supporting the agency's commitment to serving Limited English Proficient (LEP) individuals.

Alternative Outreach and Digital Engagement Strategies
To ensure equitable representation, Union City Transit actively seeks to engage residents who may be unable to attend or typically do not participate in traditional public meetings and board hearings. In coordination with the Union City Marketing and Communications group, the agency utilizes various social media platforms to expand its outreach. This digital presence fosters continuous two-way communication between formal meetings, strengthening the ongoing dialogue with the community and supporting the agency’s commitment to transparency.

Furthermore, Union City Transit utilizes project-specific email blasts to facilitate direct communication and solicit feedback from a targeted range of stakeholders. These distributions reach community-based organizations, advocacy groups, merchant associations, neighborhood groups, and other interested individuals. In addition to project-specific lists, the agency maintains a general email database for residents who wish to receive broad updates on transit news and outreach activities. Members of the public can subscribe to these updates via the website, by phone, in person, by mail, or during public meetings.

3.2.5 Language Assistance and Information Delivery
Union City Transit ensures that vital information is accessible to the city’s diverse population by developing and publishing schedules, informational sheets, and brochures in English, Spanish, and Chinese. Beyond standard transit materials, the agency produces project-specific resources— such as fact sheets, Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs), and flyers—tailored to current or upcoming programs. To remain responsive to community needs, these documents are periodically updated based on direct feedback and questions received from the public.

Distribution and Digital Access
Translated materials are disseminated across multiple platforms to maximize reach. These resources are regularly posted on the official website (www.uctransit.org), distributed during community events, and displayed prominently within the transit environment, including vehicle interiors, transit centers, and bus shelters.

Translation and Interpretation for Public Forums
For community meetings and public hearings, Union City Transit provides translation and interpretation assistance to facilitate meaningful participation. Depending on the specific language needs and the nature of the event, support is provided through:
• Bilingual Personnel: Qualified Union City Transit staff members. • Professional Services: Contracted external translators and interpreters. • Community Partners: Knowledgeable community members who assist with linguistic bridge-building.
93 of 187
City of Union City – Union City Transit | 3-5
PUBLIC PARTICIPATION| MARCH 2026
To ensure the availability of these specialized services, stakeholders are requested to provide at least 84 hours' advance notice prior to the scheduled meeting or hearing.

3.3 MONITORING AND UPDATING
To maintain an effective and equitable engagement strategy, Union City Transit treats its public participation process as a dynamic system that requires regular assessment and refinement.

3.3.1 Evaluation and Continuous Improvement of Outreach Union City Transit is committed to a data-driven approach for public engagement. The agency will systematically evaluate all project-specific outreach efforts to determine the efficacy of its engagement methods, specifically regarding their success in reaching minority and Limited English Proficient (LEP) populations.

To facilitate this assessment, comment cards and demographic surveys will be distributed at all public meetings. These tools are designed to capture both specific project feedback and suggestions for improving the agency's overall outreach delivery.

Performance Metrics and Evaluation Criteria
To move beyond anecdotal evidence, Union City Transit will utilize the following evaluation framework:
• Quantitative Metrics: Evaluation will be based on measurable data, including the total number of participants from targeted LEP-census tracts, the volume of comments received in languages other than English, and the documented diversity of stakeholders at community forums.
• Qualitative Assessments: Staff will document qualitative feedback, such as verbal suggestions regarding cultural barriers or the clarity and cultural relevance of translated materials. This ensures a nuanced understanding of community needs that data points alone may miss.
• Annual Review and Adaptation (The Feedback Loop): The results of these evaluations will be reviewed annually by the transit management team. If specific outreach methods—such as traditional evening hearings—demonstrate low participation among LEP or minority groups, the agency will pivot to alternative strategies. These may include "pop-up" events at high-traffic community hubs (e.g., grocery stores, religious centers) or weekend workshops to better accommodate the schedules and preferences of all community members.

3.3.2 Updating Public Participation Activities
Union City Transit views its Public Participation Plan (PPP) as a "living document" that requires periodic updates to remain effective and compliant with Title VI regulations. To ensure the agency’s outreach remains relevant and inclusive, Union City Transit will update its participation strategies as necessary based on the following shifting factors:
94 of 187
PUBLIC PARTICIPATION| MARCH 2026
• Demographic Shifts: Periodic review of U.S. Census and American Community Survey (ACS) data to identify changes in the size or concentration of minority and Limited English Proficient (LEP) populations within the service area. • Technological Advancements: Integration of new digital communication tools, social media platforms, and translation technologies that lower barriers to participation. • Regulatory Guidance: Incorporation of updated Federal Transit Administration (FTA) circulars, Department of Transportation (DOT) orders, and best practices for environmental justice and non-discrimination.
• Internal Lessons Learned: Refinement of strategies based on the annual evaluation of previous outreach efforts to determine which specific methods yielded the most diverse and meaningful community input.

By maintaining this iterative process, Union City Transit ensures a continued commitment to reaching all communities. This ongoing evolution is critical to maintaining the agency's relevance and ensuring that no population is excluded from the transit planning and decision-making process.

The deadline for certification was July 20, 2020, however, in light of the extraordinary challenges presented by the COVID-19 public health emergency, FTA issued a Notice of Enforcement Discretion for the PTASP regulation (49 CFR Part 673). FTA will refrain from taking enforcement action until July 21, 2021 for applicants and recipients unable to certify compliance with the PTASP regulation before July 20, 2021. While applicants and recipients are encouraged to certify compliance as soon as reasonably practicable under the current circumstances caused by the COVID-19 public health emergency, those who do not certify compliance until July 20, 2021 remain eligible for Chapter 53 grant funds.

113 of 187
City of Union City – Union City Transit | D
Citizen Rights Under
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964
This document outlines the Title VI complaint procedures related to providing programs, services, and benefits. These procedures are printed in English, Spanish and Chinese in the Union City Transit Route Guide & Timetables brochure. These procedures are printed in English, Spanish and Chinese in the Union City Transit Route Information displays at the Union City BART Station and Union Landing Transit Center. These procedures are printed in English in the Union City Paratransit Rider’s Guide and are available in Spanish and Chinese upon request.

Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 requires that no person in the United States, on the grounds of race, color or national origin be excluded from, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination, under any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance. Two Executive Orders extend Title VI protections to Environmental Justice, which also protects persons of low income, and Limited English Proficiency (LEP).

Title VI Complaint Procedure

1. Any person who believes that they have been subjected to discrimination may file a written complaint with Union City Transit. Federal and State law requires complaints be filed within one-hundred eighty (180) calendar days of the last alleged incident.

2. The complainant may download the complaint form from www.uctransit.org or request the complaint form from the Title VI coordinator.

3. The complaint will include the following information:
a. Name, address, and telephone number of the complainant. b. Name, address, and telephone number of the person being discriminated against (if different from the complainant).
c. The basis of the complaint (race, color, national origin). d. The date or dates on which the alleged discrimination took place. e. A description of the alleged discrimination in the words of the complainant and an explanation of what happened and who is believed to be 114 of 187
2 responsible.
f. Other agencies or courts where the complaint may have been filed. g. Name, address, and telephone number of the contact person at the agency/court where the complaint was filed.
h. Complainant’s signature and date.

Title VI Coordinator, Union City Transit
34009 Alvarado-Niles Road
Union City, CA 94587
(510) 675-5446
(510) 675-9885 (fax)
Complainants also have the right to complain directly to the appropriate federal, state, or local agency and/or court. Should a complaint be filed with an external entity simultaneously, the external complaint shall supersede the Union City Transit complaint and the Union City Transit’s complaint procedures will be suspended pending the external entity’s findings. Complaints must be filed within one-hundred eighty (180) calendar days of the last alleged incident.

Title VI Investigation Procedure

1. Union City Transit will begin an investigation within fifteen (15) working days of receipt of a complaint.

2. Union City Transit will contact the complainant in writing no later than sixty (60) working days after receipt of complaint for additional information, if needed. If the complainant fails to provide the requested information in a timely basis, Union City Transit may administratively close the complaint.

3. Union City Transit will complete the investigation within ninety (90) working days of receipt of the complaint. If additional time for investigation is needed, the complainant will be contacted. A written investigation report will be prepared by the investigator. This report shall include a summary description of the incident, findings and recommended corrective action.

4. A closing letter will be provided to the complainant. The respondent will also receive a copy of the closing letter. Each party will have five (5) working days from receipt of the report to appeal. If neither party appeals, the complaint will

Staff Report
Agenda Item No. 3.11
DATE: January 27, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Joan Malloy, City Manager
SUBJECT: Accept a Report on the Union City Transit Winter 2026 Service Changes, Effective Saturday, February 21, 2026

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff recommends the City Council accept a report on the Union City Transit service changes effective Saturday, February 21, 2026.

STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
There is no direct alignment with the Strategic Plan goals.

BACKGROUND
Before the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic, Union City Transit had not changed its routes and schedules since 2015. During 2020, Union City Transit underwent multiple service iterations to adapt to decreased ridership, social distancing, and curfews due to social unrest. After a public hearing held on March 9, 2021, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 5722-21, making permanent service changes to route alignments.

On May 24, 2021, Union City Transit began the twenty-two-month Union City Flea (Flexible, Local, Easy, Access) microtransit pilot project that was initially approved by Resolution No. 5535-19 on October 22, 2019. The pilot project concluded on March 31, 2023. City Council approved extending the program through September 1, 2023, by adopting Resolution No. 6111-23 on April 25, 2023, to coincide with the upcoming Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART) fall service changes, originally scheduled for August 2023.

On April 4, 2025, BART announced to transit operators that its proposed service changes for Fall 2025 would take effect on Monday, August 11, 2025. The service changes would continue BART’s response to a looming fiscal cliff that requires reducing service to preserve existing operating funds, with continued significant impacts to the segment of the system between Bay Fair and Berryessa. Trains will continue to be scheduled to arrive every ten (10) minutes on average in each direction at the Union City BART Intermodal Station. This latest adjustment impacts Union City Transit schedules that have been in 141 of 187
Agenda Item No. 3.11
City Council Staff Report Page 2 of 3 January 27, 2026
effect since August 10, 2023.

The City Council awarded a service contract to MV Transportation, Inc. (MV Transit) on March 14, 2023, with the adoption of City Council Resolution No. 6096-23. The new contract includes a provision for microtransit and an anticipated number of service hours pending an expansion or contraction of the service.

On April 22, 2025, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2025-050, authorizing Union City Transit to apply for Low-Carbon Transit Operation Program (LCTOP) funds to partially fund a further expanded service area for the Union City Flea microtransit service as described in the contract with MV Transit. This application has been submitted to the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) for review, and Caltrans staff have been working with Union City Transit staff to ensure its approval.

DISCUSSION
The Metropolitan Transportation Commission’s (MTC) Blue Ribbon Transit Recovery Task Force (BRTF) convened during the COVID-19 Pandemic to address transit issues.

The BRTF has evolved into the Transit Transformative Action Plan (TTAP) and seeks to implement the most viable recommendations that came from the BRTF. The TTAP includes schedule coordination, fare coordination, wayfinding coordination, technology coordination, procurement coordination, and fiscal responsibility amongst all the transit operators in the nine-county San Francisco Bay Area under the purview of MTC. Some of the collaborations described will come through a newly developed MTC committee responsible for Regional Network Management (RNM). One of the goals of RNM is to make local or sub-regional operators connect with regional operators. In Union City, Union City Transit would continue coordinating its schedule to connect with Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART) trains arriving or departing at the station.

Union City Transit staff has evaluated the new BART schedule for Winter 2026 and has determined that the current bus schedule maintains connections with the maximum number of trains possible. The Winter 2026 schedule preserves peak hours weekday mornings and evenings at 20-minute peak service intervals on Routes 1, 2, and 5. The Winter 2026 schedule preserves the number of trips on Routes 3 and 4 based on prior year ridership. Route 8, the official route number for the New Haven Unified School District’s (NHUSD) seasonal supplemental service, will resume operating on weekdays during the school year. The Winter 2026 weekday schedule will continue to start at 4:35 AM and end at 10:25 PM, and the weekend schedule will continue start at 7:04 AM and end at 7:51 PM.

Union City Transit staff are eliminating two (2) trips from the Route 5 weekday schedule due to low ridership and a printing error in the last schedule that resulted in an unbudgeted trip. The 4:35 AM Route 5 trip will be eliminated due to low ridership and will be supported by the Union City Flea, which will operate at this hour. The 6:55 AM Route 5 trip was a printing error in the schedule last fall that required running unplanned service.

There will be no impact on Union City Paratransit’s Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) service hours or Union City Flea service hours.

Agenda Item No. 3.11
City Council Staff Report Page 3 of 3 January 27, 2026
Union City Transit staff anticipate that BART will release a reduced service schedule for Monday, August 10, 2026, and expect to present Fall 2026 Union City Transit schedule changes to the City Council in July 2026, including a Saturday, August 8, 2026, service change to facilitate customer connections with the new BART schedule.

FISCAL IMPACT
The service changes put forth were included in MV Transit's pricing, and MV Transit’s pricing was used to develop Union City Transit’s funding in the approved Biennial Budget for FY 2025-2026 and FY 2026-2027.

There is no impact on the General Fund.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council accept a report on the Union City Transit service changes effective Saturday, February 21, 2026.

Agenda Item No. 3.12
DATE: January 27, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Joan Malloy, City Manager
SUBJECT: Waive Further Reading and Adopt an Ordinance for Zoning Text Amendment (AT-25-003) to Title 18, Zoning, of the Union City Municipal Code to Amend Chapters 18.08 Definitions; 18.27, Village Mixed Use (VMU) District; 18.36, Commercial Districts; 18.50, Civic Facilities (CF) District; and 18.92, Open Space (OS) Zoning District, and Find That the Proposed Amendments are Exempt From the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines 15061(B)(3)

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff recommends that the City Council waive further reading and adopt the proposed ordinance (Attachment 1) approving Zoning Text Amendment AT-25-003.

The City Council held a public hearing and, at its January 13, 2026 meeting, introduced the proposed ordinance on a 5-0 vote. The proposed amendments are included in Attachment 1, Exhibit A (Clean) and Exhibit B (Redlined).

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

Goal C. Institute forward-thinking business, land use development, housing, social services, and public safety strategies that promote community growth and innovation.

BACKGROUND
At its January 13, 2026, meeting, the City Council introduced the proposed ordinance to approve Zoning Text Amendment AT-25-003. The proposed amendments aim to support local businesses by improving operations, expanding permitted uses, and facilitating ongoing public projects. The City Council must now vote to adopt the proposed ordinance.

For more details of the prior action, please see the January 13, 2026, City Council agenda item.

Agenda Item No. 3.12
City Council Staff Report Page 2 of 3 January 27, 2026

DISCUSSION
A high-level summary of the amendments is included below. For a more detailed review, see Attachment 1A - Exhibit A (Clean) and Attachment 1B- Exhibit B (Redlines).

A. Chapter 18.08, Definitions
The amendments to Chapter 18.08 adjust the numbering and add a definition for “Event venue”. This definition is needed to clarify which operations would fall under event venue use.

B. Chapter 18.27, Village Mixed Use (VMU) District
The amendments to Chapter 18.27 allow “event venue” as a conditional use within the VMU district and establish additional standards for event venues. These additional standards require a security plan and facilitate outdoor operations.

C. Chapter 18.36, Commercial Districts
The amendments to Chapter 18.36 modify standards for live music. These modifications include:
• Modifying where non-amplified and amplified live music is permitted; • Removing burdensome regulations that are difficult to track and enforce; and
• Clarifying requirements.

D. Chapter 18.50, Civic Facilities (CF) District
The amendments to Chapter 18.50 allow “temporary contractor yards for public projects on publicly owned properties” as a permitted use within the CF Zoning District.

E. Chapter 18.92, Open Space (OS) Zoning District
The amendments to Chapter 18.92 allow for “temporary contractor yards for public projects on publicly owned properties” as a permitted use within the OS Zoning District.

Additionally, the amendment would modify site area and yard standards by eliminating minimum site areas for public lands and hazardous lands, eliminating setbacks for public lands, and reducing setbacks for sites under 10 acres to match those in the Agricultural Zoning District.

FISCAL IMPACT
The adoption of the proposed zoning text amendments would have no fiscal impact on the General Fund.

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF UNION CITY DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. Recitals
The above recitals are true and correct and made a part of this Ordinance.

SECTION 2. CEQA
Approval of Zoning Text Amendment (AT-25-003) is exempt from environmental review per the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Section 15061(b)(3), the general exemption for projects with no potential for significant effect on the environment. As a series of text amendments, the amendments will not have a significant effect on the environment.

SECTION 3. Findings
The City Council makes the following findings in support of the approval of this Ordinance, based on the whole of the record before it.

1. That the proposed Zoning Text Amendments are consistent with the following Union City 2040 General Plan policies. There are no applicable specific plans. • Policy ED-3.1 Support Local Business Expansion, Policy ED-7.3 Remove regulatory barriers and Policy SA-11.9 Allow Uses that Support the Vision for the Historic Alvarado District. The proposed amendments implement these policies through removing regulatory barriers which have made it difficult for local businesses to expand and allow for new use in the VUM zoning district that supports the vision of the Historic Alvarado district. • Policy PF-3.1 Enhance and Improve water service and Policy PF-3.2 Preserve and Enhance Water Supply. The proposed amendments support these policies by facilitating the use of City owned property as temporary contractor yards for public projects including utility improvements by USD and ACWD.

2. That the proposed Zoning Text Amendments are necessary and desirable to achieve the purposes of Title 18, which seek to promote and protect the public health, safety, morals, comfort, convenience and the general welfare of the people.

SECTION 4. Approval
The City Council hereby approves the amendments to the UCMC, as described above and as shown in Exhibit A, which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

SECTION 5. Severability
If any provision of this Ordinance or the application thereof to any person or circumstance is held invalid, the remainder of the Ordinance, including the application of such part or provision to other persons or circumstances, shall not be affected thereby and shall continue in full force and effect.

Staff Report
Agenda Item No. 4.1
DATE: January 27, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Joan Malloy, City Manager
SUBJECT: Consider a Resolution to Authorize the City of Union City to Purchase Tickets to the New Haven Schools Foundation Annual Fund-Raising Event

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
At the January 13, 2026, City Council meeting, a Councilmember requested that the City Council consider authorizing the City to purchase a table (equivalent to 10 tickets) for the annual New Haven Schools Foundation (NHSF) fundraiser, Diamonds in Education Gala.

A resolution to authorize the purchase of a table has been attached for the City Council's consideration, should the City Council wish to proceed on this time-sensitive matter.

STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
There is no direct alignment with the Strategic Plan.

BACKGROUND
The NHSF sponsors an annual fundraising event to provide scholarships to graduating high school students and to support other educational programs and activities.

A description of the organization from their webpage is as follows:

The New Haven Schools Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to supporting the students and schools of the New Haven Unified School District.

Our mission is to reach out to parents, businesses, District employees, elected officials, and other members of the New Haven community to raise money for scholarships, classroom grants, and enrichment activities. Our goal is to help develop and empower every student to be productive, responsible, and successful.

We light the way for the leaders of tomorrow.

NHSF was founded in 1981 and incorporated as an independent nonprofit in 2007.

An active board of directors governs us, and our executive director manages operations. We call on our advisory board for strategic ideas and guidance. 165 of 187
Agenda Item No. 4.1
City Council Staff Report Page 2 of 3 January 27, 2026
In 2023, the Foundation’s Pathways to Success program awarded a $194,500 in scholarships for our students. This brings the total of scholarship funding since our incorporation in 2007 to over $1.76 million! We funded classroom projects and after-school activities to the tune of $104,000 in 2023, bringing the cumulative total to $ 429,995 since 2009.

Every dollar of support we receive stays right here in our local school district, serving children and youth living in Union City and parts of Hayward.” Each year, the NHSF invites the community to attend the gala in support of its mission to provide scholarships and fund other educational programming. This year, the gala will be held at 6:00 p.m., on Saturday, February 21, 2026, at the Club at Castlewood in Pleasanton, CA.

DISCUSSION
The NHSF is a stand-alone non-profit organization, and the City does not provide any funding or grant support to the organization. The City typically does not purchase tickets to events sponsored by non-profits, such as crab feeds or other fundraising or award events.

In 2025, the City Manager’s Office purchased a table (10 tickets) for the NHSF gala to ensure that City Councilmembers could attend if they were able. Based upon the City Council’s availability, any remaining tickets were offered to staff members to fill the table.

Staff is now requesting City Council direction on whether to support the gala.

Regularly, the City purchases tickets to government-related events that may provide education and training for elected officials, such as the League of California Cities East Bay Chapter events or the State of the Valley (Silicon Valley) Conference. In addition, the City may support Chamber of Commerce-sponsored activities. The City contracts with the Chamber of Commerce to fulfill specific economic development activities, including:
• Support of City programs for business growth and development • Host and sponsor annual mixers, luncheons, and dinners • Chamber outreach to business
As part of the contract, the City requires the Chamber to sponsor the Community Spirit Awards event to recognize individuals, businesses, and organizations for their significant contributions to the Community. The City has historically purchased tables to ensure that the City Council and key staff members could attend.

The NHSF is once again inviting the community to support their gala. As noted, a City Councilmember has requested that the City Council consider supporting the event and sponsoring a table. Staff is seeking clarification from the City Council on this matter.

While the event raises money for NHSF and most of the students that benefit are Union City residents, this is not an event related to City government activities or services, nor is it included in the Strategic Plan. If the City Council chooses not to purchase tickets on behalf of the City, those Councilmembers and staff interested in attending would pay for their own, individual tickets.

A draft resolution has been prepared that includes findings of public purpose, should the City Council decide to direct the City to purchase tickets.

FISCAL IMPACT
The $2,400 cost to reserve a table (10 chairs) would be charged to the City Manager’s Office, Travel & Training, Account No.11012001-54310, where there are sufficient funds.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council consider the attached resolution to authorize the purchase of a table (10 tickets) for the NHSF Diamonds in Education Gala. If the resolution is adopted, staff will immediately reserve a table for the 2026 NHSF event for City Councilmembers and key staff.
