Top issues during term (20)
Immigration Enforcement Facilities Resolution
A local museum stands to lose about $57,000 in unpaid federal grant money.
Chinese Pavilion Project
The city's share is capped at $140,000 under the funding agreement.
Proposed Dog Park at Hayward Park
The project would be 100% privately funded at roughly $500,000, though the city could face ongoing maintenance costs.
Student e-bike and e-moto safety
Enforcement costs not quantified; police staffing limits mean only three beats cover the whole city.
Future restoration and enhancement of Crespi Pond
Possibly recoverable funds from the decade of unperformed maintenance could support restoration, per public comment.
Interim City Manager Appointment
The City Manager's salary and contract terms will affect the city budget, but details weren't made public.
Youth Advisory Subcommittee update
Other cities gave youth advisory groups small grants; Greenfield's youth-driven community center topped $20 million.
Crespi Pond vegetation management results
A biologist monitoring condition could have cost about $250/hour per the Public Works Director; the project itself was budgeted through the city's environmental permitting process.
Proposed General Transactions and Use Tax on November Ballot
Roughly $124,000 in regional grant funds available to the city over three years.
CalHOME Reuse housing fund budget amendment
$199,000 from reserves, expected to return through loan repayment at 3–5% simple interest.
City Communication Efforts
Street and sidewalk improvements
Roughly $500,000 estimated for about 3,000 feet of curb, gutter, and sidewalk.
Radar speed sign placement
Funding would come from the mid-year budget and FY 2026-27 capital outlay budget; no amount stated.
Community needs assessment survey
The board hopes to limit staff time to a few hours, using low-cost online survey tools.
Monarch Sanctuary management
The restricted window compresses work into contractor scheduling and budget constraints, potentially slowing progress.
Affordable Housing Site Strategy
State rejection could force costly revisions and reopen the review process.
Task Force Purpose, Powers, and Duties Review
Unpermitted ADUs
Homeowners can be stuck paying to fix contractor shortcuts; Andersen is reportedly covering some costs in this case.
2025 CDBG application and Housing Division update
Up to $1.44 million in federal grant funding could flow into housing rehab, studies, and a downtown restroom.
Pine & Eardley intersection crashes
A traffic study and possible stop signs would cost city funds, with the council able to authorize the expense if the analysis supports it.
