Top issues during term (20)
Merger of Human Services and Parks & Community Services Commissions
Streamlining commissions is expected to reduce administrative overhead; no specific figure was stated.
City Investment Portfolio Performance
Covers how the city's pooled public funds are invested; no direct cost.
Site D-1 Affordable Housing Land Transfer Stalled
The city gets the land for free; the deal mainly protects the site while the developer raises construction financing.
2026 Fall Home Decorating Contest
Funding is accommodated within the existing Parks and Community Services Department operating budget.
Firearms Retailing and Shooting Range Moratorium Extension
No direct cost stated, though annual compliance checks will mean some staff review work.
Code of Ethics and Conduct adoption
No cost — this is a governance document.
East Ranch (Francis Ranch) CFD Bond Sale
Bond repayment comes from special taxes levied on East Ranch property owners, not general city taxes.
Splatter 2026 Festival
Funded from the city's annual operating budget; VIP tickets $75 in advance, Color Dash registration $25.
2027 Temporary Public Art Program – Decorated Shamrocks
The program has a $20,000 annual budget from the Public Art Fund.

$319,000 funded entirely by the federal CDBG Capital Project Pool administered by Alameda County.

No extra cost — all promos are covered within the existing Parks and Community Services operating budget.
Small Business Assistance Program Update
Up to $75,000 annually in combined grant funding is available to eligible businesses.
Local Veterans Support and Educational Programs
Commercial Business Growth and Activity
No new spending to receive the presentation; future rollout costs would come from the existing economic development budget or future budget approvals.
Transient Occupancy Tax Increase
Hotel guests would have paid more per night; the added revenue would have gone to city services, but the measure failed so rates stay at 8%.
PRFTA Master Plan Update
AARP Foundation Tax-Aide Program
The tax help is free to participants; no cost to the city is identified.
Free Senior Legal and Medicare Counseling Services
The services are free to seniors; no cost to the city is identified.
