Top issues during term (20)
Flock ALPR surveillance contract renewal
Subscription reportedly starts at $120K minimum, with speakers citing litigation exposure up to $1M+ elsewhere.
Safe parking program expiration and homelessness
Grocery program funding ends October 2026, and the temporary safe parking program is a separate one-time budget item.
Coastal Crest quarry housing appeal
The project could bring substantial affordable housing to Pacifica but also raises infrastructure and coastal-hazard concerns residents say could cost the city financially.
Proposed sale of 2212 Beach Boulevard for hotel development
The city sells 55 feet of public land to a private developer in exchange for public and private benefits under the development agreement.
Measure BB sales tax
About $7 per month on average for the average Pacifica resident if the measure passes.
Linda Mar beach parking lot RV encampment and overnight closure
Costs not stated; city included budget for two temporary restroom units (one pier, one Fairmont).
Pacifica Pier condition and removal
No new city liability, but the city stays responsible for pier upgrades; sublease income will fund repairs.
Countywide transportation plan and Pacifica transit gaps
A new half-cent sales tax would raise the already-high 9.85% local rate if approved by voters.
Future of 2212 Beach Boulevard
A sale could bring revenue and hotel tax dollars, but speakers warned a hotel on a failing seawall site could become a financial liability.
Measure Y sales tax revenue and spending
A local tax measure on the November ballot funding city services and staffing.
Wildfire preparedness and the Hillside Preservation District
Affordable housing at the Sanchez Library site
Relocating the drainage pipe could cost $1.2–$1.9 million, and the project would likely need significant public subsidy beyond the land.
City agenda website transition and public notice
July 4th fireworks enforcement and costs
About $62,000 collected in fees and fines versus city police, fire, and public works expenditures for the holiday.
Belfast/Grand cypress tree hazard
Trimming or removal costs versus potentially far higher costs of a fallen limb or downed power line.
Short-term rental regulations and Coastal Commission modifications
Residents cite significant staff, police, legal, and administrative resources consumed by repeated enforcement at problem properties.
Zoning modernization and objective design standards
Affordable housing in-lieu fees
In-lieu fees jump roughly 70% from 2007 levels, raising money earmarked only for affordable housing.
FY 2026-27 city budget and structural deficit
A $2.3 million gap means real service and staffing cuts are on the table for June.
Highway 1 and Pedro Point Headlands wildfire resiliency work
Funded by San Mateo County Measure K and State Coastal Conservancy grants, so no direct cost to the city.
