San Bruno City Council Meeting September 28, 2021
4. Announcements/Presentations
A
Also,
we
we
are
done
at
this
time
with
public
comments,
we're
going
to
move
on
to
announcements
and
presentations
and
I'm
going
to
take
it
out
of
order
and
go
to
item
b
and
receive
presentation
from
senator
josh
becker
regarding
sacramento
update.
As
you
know,
this
is
our
state
senator
at
sacramento,
and
I
can
tell
you
firsthand
that
he
has
been
busy
and
it's
like
you
know.
A
You
run
hard,
you
win
and
then
he
has
been
running
since
and
working
on
quality
of
life
issues
from
housing
to
education,
transportation,
infrastructure
he's
also
doing
a
lot
of
work
on
on
the
climate,
and
I've
had
a
great
opportunity
to
have
a
one-on-one
with
him
and
have
conversation,
and
so
I
can
tell
you
he's
been
busy
he's
keeping
us
updated
and
we
appreciate
him
taking
his
time
to
be
with
us
this
evening.
A
To
just
give
us
some
updates
and
a
pleasure
to
have
you
you're
always
welcome,
but
stay
senator
becker.
Please.
The
floor
is
yours.
B
Well,
thank
you.
I
I'm
really
grateful
to
all
of
you
for
having
me
here
today.
There's
a
rush
made.
It
sort
of
just
in
time
had
my
water
polo
game,
your
away
game
up
at
burlingame
today
and
high
school,
so
it
was
a
lot
of
fun
and
made
it
just
in
time.
So
I
really
appreciate
you
being
with
you
know
having
me
here
today.
B
Yes
sacramento,
it
was
my
first
session
and
it
was
a
really
eventful
one
and
you
know,
as
I
like
to
say,
when
I
got
elected,
we
were
facing
projecting
a
50
billion
dollar
deficit
and
we
ended
up
with
a
75
billion
surplus.
B
So
I
feel
like
I
did
a
pretty
good
job,
my
first
year
and
yeah,
it's
a
little
joke,
but
yes,
we
did
a
great
job,
but
we,
the
question,
was:
how
are
we
going
to
spend
this
surplus
and
we
really
spent
a
lot
of
our
time
dealing
with
budget
issues
and
the
issues
that
we're
focused
on
were
quality
of
life?
B
As
the
mayor
said,
education,
housing,
including
homelessness,
transportation,
infrastructure
issues,
and
so
that's
what
I
focused
on
my
very
first
bill
of
the
governor
signed-
was
a
bill
that
was
brought
to
me
by
the
city
of
belmont.
But
it's
really
on
behalf
of
all
of
our
smaller
cities.
On
the
peninsula.
I
represent
23
cities,
all
less
than
150
000
in
population,
and
this
bill
was
to
allow
smaller
cities
to
team
up
to
compete
better
for
sb1
funds,
whereas
sp1.
B
This
is
the
highway
of
funds
that
came
from
the
gasoline
tax
and
allow
us
to
compete
better
on
projects
like
fixing
el
camino,
which
you
know
obviously
go
through
many
of
our
cities
or
other
roads
shared
roads
like
that.
So
that
was
really
the
the
intent
of
that
bill,
and
that
was
my
first
bill
that
the
governor
signed
and
since
then
he's
been
signing
more
of
them,
including
today,
a
bill
that
I
had
on
intergenerational,
affordable,
housing.
Traditionally,
affordable
housing
has
been
either.
B
If
you
fund
it,
you
can
only
fund
it
for
older
folks
or
for
say
a
transitional
foster
youth
right.
So
people
that
are
quite
young
and
say
just
transitioning
out
of
the
system,
but
you
know
folks
of
that
age
and
this
will
allow
intergenerational,
affordable
housing
so
in
a
very
contentious
issue.
This
was
something
that
was
near
unanimous
and
the
governor
signed
that
today,
at
a
ceremony
in
oakland,
along
with
a
couple
other
bills-
and
that
was
a
very
fun
moment
for
me.
B
But
transportation
infrastructure
is
going
to
be
a
big
focus
and
we
do
press
conference
with
congresswoman
eshu
here
coming
up
in
about
in
a
couple
of
weeks
to
focus
on
now
the
federal
infrastructure
money.
That's
hopefully
going
to
pass
very
soon.
How
can
we
make
sure
the
peninsula
gets
our
fair
share?
We
provide
a
great
amount
about
20.
According
to
my
staffs
estimates
of
the
property
tax
for
the
state,
and
what
do
we
get
back
from
it?
B
Not
a
lot
of
support
say
for
our
transportation
needs,
whether
it
be
great
separation
or
other
regional
transportation
infrastructure
needs.
How
can
we
get
more
of
that
money
here?
So
that'll
be
another,
a
big
focus
of
mine
and
then
education,
starting
everything
from
early
childhood
education,
where
we
made
a
massive
investment.
It's
something
I'm
incredibly
proud
of.
B
B
That
was
another
big,
a
factor,
and
then
we
wanted
to
raise
the
wages
for
child
care
workers
which
have
been
way
way
way
too
low
and
allow
regional
cost
adjustments
so
that
workers
in
this
area,
which
are
higher
cost,
can
get
paid
more
say
than
other
child
care
workers
say
in
riverside
or
central
valley,
and
we
were
able
to
accomplish
that
very
proud
of
that
effort
and
raise
wages
at
that
in
that
sector.
So
a
lot
of
focus
on
starting
an
early
childhood
education,
the
big
lift.
B
I
was
able
to
procure
money
directly,
a
million
dollars
for
the
big
lift,
which
is
a
san
mateo
county
program-
that
many
of
you
know,
which
is
very
focused
on
preschool,
but
then
also
intensive
summer
programs
up
to
third
grade,
because
we
know
that
third
grade
reading
level
is
critical
if
you're
not
reading
a
grade
level
by
third
grade,
it's
very
hard
to
to
catch
up
put
on,
I'm
gonna
shut
the
door
here.
My
dog
is
barking.
B
You
know,
you
know
that
problem
from
zoom
meeting
so
early
childhood
education
was
a
big
focus
and
then
a
k-12
education
record
amount
of
money
for
a
school.
Hopefully,
your
district
is
feeling
that
and
feeling
some
additional
funding.
I
know
it's
in
the
midst
of
of
difficulty
because
everyone's
stressed
there's
not
enough
teachers,
not
enough
substitutes,
but
we
are
providing
a
lot
of
additional
folk
funding
and
I
was
talking
to
our
superintendent
ncp.
B
She
said
we
couldn't
even
really
open
without
that
additional
funding,
so
that's
a
big
focus
and
then
lastly,
higher
education,
both
our
community
colleges
and
additional
money
for
community
colleges,
and
as
many
of
you
know,
I
was
an
adjunct.
Professor
at
culture,
san
mateo,
but
also
for
csus
nrucs
and
particularly
more
spots.
You
know
people
from
this
area
feeling
that
you
know
we've
really
gone
overboard
with
too
many
international
students
and
not
enough
slots.
B
We
opened
up
900
additional
slots
at
each
of
the
of
each
berkeley,
ucla
and
ucsd
and
then
more
spots
overall
at
all
the
rest
of
the
ucs
as
well.
So
that
really
has
been
a
lot
of
focus.
How
do
we
use
that,
both
through
legislation
and
through
the
budget
to
work
on
those
quality
of
life
issues,
housing,
transportation,
infrastructure,
education?
B
And
I
do
want
to
mention
when
the
mayor
and
I
met
as
he
he
spoke
about-
we,
he
brought
the
attention
of
traffic
of
trash,
and
a
number
of
you
were
also
on
that
mayor.
I
think
the
vice
mayor
was
on
that
communication
as
well,
and
the
homeless
encampments
in
the
same
area
around
380
and
280,
and
the
off-ramp,
and
we
immediately
went
into
action
and
were
in
touch
with
caltrans,
which
is
you
know,
is
a
difficult
agency
to
work
with.
B
Fortunately,
we
all
know
that,
but
they
did,
they
were
responsive
and
abatement
was
scheduled.
I
have
not
heard
if
that's
been
well,
I
guess
we
were
talking
a
little
earlier.
You
said
it's
certainly
better,
but
I
think
still
work
to
do,
but
that's
the
kind
of
thing
we
want
to.
B
Do
I
mean
that's,
you
know
that's
what
we're
here
for
so,
if
you
see
issues
like
that
in
your
community,
please
contact
my
office
or
contact
your
city
council
members
here,
and
they
will
reach
out
to
us
and
let
us
know
that
there's
work
that
needs
to
be
done
because,
certainly
with
caltrans,
we
all
know
we
need
to
stay
on
top
of
them
where
that
work
does
not
get
done.
So
thanks
for
letting
me
talk
a
little
bit
about
that.
B
Last
topic
I
just
mentioned
was
a
climate
as,
as
was
mentioned
earlier,
is
a
big
focus
and
I
will
be
representing
california
in
the
glasgow
in
the
in
the
climate
change
talks,
and
it's
really
a
question
of
how
can
we
do
this?
How
can
we
move
faster
and
let's
do
it
in
a
way
that
actually
helps
the
economy
that
helps
create
jobs?
As
we
all
know,
solar
costs
have
gone
down
90
over
the
last
10
years,
as
our
state
established
programs
like
the
million
solar
roof
initiative.
B
How
can
we
do
that
for
electric
homes
for
people
who
want
to
electrify
their
homes
and
other
buildings?
How
can
we
provide
those
kinds
of
incentives
so
that
we
can
all
participate
and
we
can
move
much
much
faster
to
address
climate
change
which
we
have
to
do,
and
the
the
droughts
and
the
wildfires
were
both
a
sign
of
that
I've
done
town
halls
on
both
those
topics
they're
available
on
my
website,
and
I'm
happy
to
to
talk
more
about
that
as
well
with
that
I'll
leave
it
there,
maybe
take
one
or
two
questions.
A
Any
quick
questions
of
the
center,
so
you
can
maybe
have
dinner.
A
If
not,
you
know
what
we
really
want
to
appreciate
and
thank
you
very
much
for
your
time
and
we
know
you've
been
busy.
I
guess
the
one
question
this
council
will
ask
who
won.
B
It
was
a
very,
very
close
game.
My
my
daughter
goes
to
menlo
atherton.
I
blame
berlin
game
down.
Three
one
came
back
one,
eight,
six,
so
big
big
win.
That's
a
very
good
team
as
well.
There's
a
lot
of
good,
a
lot
of
good
water
polo
going
on
I'm
new
to
the
I'm
relatively
new
to
the
sport,
but
there's
a
lot
of
good
water
polo
going
on
in
our
in
our
district.
A
Well,
good
and
pass
on
from
the
city
council
our
congratulations
to
your
daughter
and
her
team,
but
again
thank
you
for
being
available.
I
know
that
I've
never
had
a
problem.
Picking
up
the
phone
and
nicole
who's.
Also
here
has
been
very
supportive
and
helpful
for
us
as
well.
So
again,
thank
you
but
try
to
get
try
to
enjoy
the
rest
of
your
evening.
What's
left
and
appreciate
your
time
and
being
here
with
us
tonight
sure
as
you.
B
Said
last
thing:
it
was
a
great
honor
to
be
there
at
the
ground
breaking
for
the
new
aquatic
center.
That's
going
to
be
fantastic
and
just
you
know,
getting
hats
off
to
the
whole
community
for
rallying
and
that
whole
process
and
leslie
my
old
classmate
leslie
hattamia
for
her
work
with
the
foundation-
and
you
know
just
it
was
a
really
really
exciting
moment.
It
was
really
really
an
honor
to
be
there
with
all
of
you,
and
it
was
my
first
groundbreaking.
My
first
groundbreaking
is
state
senator.
A
Well,
you
came
to
the
right
city
then,
and-
and
we
appreciate
it,
senator
and
thank
you
again
kindly
okay
take
care
have
a
good
evening.
All
right,
we'll
go
back
under
to
announcements
and
presentations.
We'll
go
up
to
item
a
as
of
september.
21St
2021,

91.6

the

myturn.ca.gov
or
call

A
To
find
a
convenient
location
near
you,
and
this
isn't
listed,
but
I'm
going
to
add
an
item
and
I
just
wanted
to
say
I
did
attend
up
in
sacramento
the
california
league
of
cities
for
the
state
of
california
representing
san
bruno.
But
what
also
happened
there
was
more
important
than
me
being
there
was
that
our
city
clerk,
melissa,
thurman,
was
sworn
in
and
assumed
her
new
office
as
president
of
the
city
clerk's
association
for
the
state
of
california.
A
So,
on
behalf
of
the
city
council,
myself,
congratulations
and
we're
here
to
support
you
and
I
know
you'll
you'll
have
your
hands
full,
but
I
think
it's
great
and
well
done
so
and
proud
to
have
you
as
the
president
and
representing
san
bruno
too.
