Comprehensive City Fee Modernization
Belmont is raising sewer rates 1% a year for three years and will collect roughly $21 million in sewer-related fees through your property tax bill. The typical household bill rises about $1.38 a month, and the 10% drought adjustment is being phased out.

Community Center Special Tax Ballot Measure
The council prepared the ground for a major community center rebuild — addressing aging infrastructure, seismic and accessibility issues — should voters pass the citizen-led Measure Y parcel tax in November. No construction commitment was made; staff will set up a design-build framework and explore a Project Labor Agreement.
