Good evening, everybody.

This is Andrew Zachary.

I will be running the meeting today with copious help from Eric and anybody else.

This is the first meeting I've chaired, so I expect that there'll be some glitches along the way.

Andrew, can I just mention that um Noah LePan has uh texted me that he was having trouble getting in.

I don't know if Barbara can help him.

He's on the line and in the meeting.

Oh, okay, great.

I guess it resolved.

Okay, that's if he has further issues, just um let me know and I'll go ahead and see what's what.

But I see him here and he's muted.

All right, excellent.

Uh I do not see Eric on the line.

I'm right here.

Uh okay.

Great.

Thank you.

Uh all right.

Uh with that.

Um this is the January 26th meeting of the fiscal committee for the Board of Representatives representatives of the city of Stanford.

Uh we will take up order of business as necessary.

Uh there is a request to move some of the late items to the late submission items to take them up earlier.

Uh and I would entertain a motion to do that.

Uh Chair Zachary, I uh move to suspend the rules to take up items 16 and 18 out of order.

Do I hear a second?

Uh yes, sir.

You have a second.

Great, thank you.

We have a second.

Uh we think we need to take a vote since this would be out of order and we will be suspending the rules.

Let's do this by voice vote.

All those in favor, please say aye.

I'm opposed.

Aye.

Was that somebody opposed?

Or just a late I.

A late I.

Okay.

With that, uh, I think we will pick up item 16.

The it is item 16, F32.040.

For the amended amount is 190,755 and no cents.

It's an additional appropriation from grants for COPS hiring grant to fund five.

Please note that's been amended to five new police officers.

This funds the final five months of fiscal year 26.

Grant requires a city match and future federal fiscal year 27 funding as well.

Officers must remain employed through September 2028.

This is formerly F31.610.

This was approved by the Board of Finance 500.

Oh, and I need to announce that the meeting was called to order at 703.

Um with that, I would uh having read this late submission.

Uh I see that Anita Carpenter is here if she wishes to speak on this.

My apologies.

Okay, we are on a late submission.

Item 16, F32.040, an additional appropriation for 190,755 for the C OPS hiring.

All right.

Um I I mean I have I actually apologize.

I have no additional um comment unless you have any questions for me with regard to the grant.

We do have it.

It is available and ready to go upon the board's approvals.

And we um will request an extension once it's all moves through so that we can spend that and the the police department can move forward with hiring and um getting the cops hired and getting them through the training.

But I'm happy to answer any questions.

Are there any questions?

I don't see any hands up.

Hi, I'm going to raise my hand.

Oh, all right.

Representative Delacruz, I do not see you, but please go ahead and ask your question.

Thank you.

Thank you, Chairman.

Uh Anita, have uh uh police officers candidates been identified and extended off of the I will defer to Chief Shaw on that one because I do not think so, but Chief Shaw.

No, uh we stopped the uh the list, so we have an active list that we're doing backgrounds and um going through our due diligence to come up with uh the right candidates to show in front of the police commission, which will probably happen in uh in early March.

I see.

Okay, thank you.

Uh Chief Shaw.

I yield.

Ah, there any other questions on this item.

Uh with that, I would call for a voice vote.

And uh all those in favor, please say aye.

Aye.

Aye, aye.

Are any opposed?

Oh, and with that, let the record show that all the members.

I guess that's eight zero voted in favor of this.

Or nine zero, I guess.

Nine zero.

Sorry, can we count properly?

Um with that, we'll move on to the next one, which is F32, item 17, F32.041.

Resolution authorizing the mayor into and to enter into and sign agreements.

Coach to the US Department of Justice for COPS hiring program, formally 31.611.

Uh to uh I have a motion Zachary.

We were we we we're gonna take up item 18 in conjunction with 16 because the items are related.

That's what the motion to suspend was.

Okay, fine.

Thank you.

Yes, thank you for stopping me.

Sure.

Okay, and then we'll take up item 18, which is item F32.042042 for I believe the number is 258 dollars and I wrote it down improperly.

Uh 258,000.

Uh do you have the right number, Representative Morrison?

286,756.

Yeah, 280 to 86, 286,000 756.

756.

756.

And that's an additional appropriate appropriation from operating.

Thank you.

Police administration request for additional funding to increase budgeted police officer positions from 217 to 222.

Uh that would be 292 total sworn.

As the department is now fully staffed and plans to fill the five new positions in the upcoming spring academy class.

This is formally 31.604 and was approved by the board of finance 600.

And with that, uh Chief Shaw, I'd open the floor for your comments.

Yeah, good evening.

Uh, this is something that we presented in front of the uh the Board of Finance early last year.

Uh the budget um back in April of 25.

It was tabled uh for the additional officers because at the time we didn't have our full complement.

Uh we came back to the board a few months ago uh with a request.

It's been uh it's gone from 13 to 7 to 5.

So these five positions will help us uh continue to to grow within the department.

Um we gave a presentation of Board of Finance of the necessary need for these resources, and uh it's we we've done a lot of uh new initiatives that have taken out of the patrol division, so this will help us get back to a full complement so we can continue to do what we're doing uh in respect to public safety, just staying staying on top of it.

Um there any questions from the any of the members representative opine.

Yes, thank you.

Uh Commissioner Shaw, just a question.

I guess it relates more to the previous item as they're intertwined, but the note that it says the officers must remain employed through September 2028 for the grant.

Does that mean the seat has to be occupied by a hired officer, or that exact officer who's hired now has to be the one occupied there to have the funds allocated?

Yeah, I believe uh Anita could confirm this, but I believe it's the officer who's hired would stay there for that time.

Um we don't foresee that as an issue, obviously, with retirements and things of that nature.

And I know this mayor is not looking for layoffs, she's looking to increase it is supposed to be that officer to confirm.

Thank you.

Are there any further questions?

Right.

With that, uh I would like to take a voice vote.

Uh to oh, Representative Morrison.

Thank you, Chair Zachary.

Uh the as we see the agenda item on the screen, uh the numbers look a bit confusing from uh uh from what was typed there.

So to clarify, we're moving police officer positions from 217 up by five to two twenty-two, and total sworn will go from uh two eighty-seven to two ninety-two.

Do I have that right, Chief Shaw?

You have that correct.

Okay, very good.

Just want to make sure we know exactly what we're voting on given the uh numbers that are on the screen, a little confusing.

Thank you.

Are there any further questions?

That uh I would hold a motion up for a voice vote.

And uh all those in favor?

We say aye.

Aye.

Any opposed?

Any abstentions and let the record reflect that the voice vote was 900 with no abstentions and no votes.

All right.

Um with that, we will return to irregular business.

Thank you, Chief Shaw.

Thank you.

Thank you for the support.

Yeah, you're welcome.

Good luck.

Uh all right.

Uh with that, we will return to our regular business.

Um item number one, F32.004 for two million dollars, an additional appropriation capital.

Project 001459 to complete permanent lane area water, sorry, stormwater infrastructure and roadway improvements approved for two million by the Board of Finance 500.

And we will hear I will hear from any of the WPCA representatives who might want to speak on this issue.

Uh hello, uh good evening.

Good evening, uh executive director of WPCA.

And with me tonight is Ian Brown, uh supervising engineer at WPCA.

And has been managing the perlane project, and she will present this item.

Go ahead, Ann.

Okay, thank you, everybody.

Um, so what we have here is a request for two million dollars for the Pernalanks um sewer project.

And what this request is for is the what we call the city portion of the project.

Each um, whenever we go out and do a project like this, we um we ask engineering to look at it.

Sometimes they'll add to it.

In this case, they added some storm new storm sewer, new catch basins on paving.

You know, instead of just our sewer trench, we can pave curb to curb, we can do some improvements that are not really associated with the uh sanitary sewer.

They're more that the city's requested, that engineering has requested.

So uh we look at at what their requests are, we incorporate them into the project, and then that's what goes out to bid.

Um, and then engineering would um be responsible for that portion of the work.

Um now that we are uh completing the project, probably within the next six months to year, we're gonna complete the project.

We know what some of those costs are and uh better uh you know, as far as storm sewers go, catch basins go, we know exactly how much went in the ground, how many you know, catch basins we put in the ground, that kind of thing.

So we could estimate that the um portion of the project that was just city items is 15% of the costs, and the portion that's the sanitary sewer, that's the WPCA costs or sewer costs, is 85%.

And so um we we take that number.

There are certain costs that are shared by WPCA and on the city, such as the police officers for traffic control, um, soil erosion um measures, some of the traffic control measures, such as like the cones that are set up and the traffic patterns that are set up, you know, when they're working on um, you know, on uh high ridge road, they have to set them up whether it's for the sanitary sewer or for the uh storm sewers.

So we appropriate um and and for engineering as well.

We had to have engineering done for all this.

So we we uh take those shared costs and we put 15% is the cities and 85% is the WPCAs.

So after we do this, we came up with the number of city costs is approximately um 1.8 million dollars.

We do not, since the project is not final and we still have some work to do, we're asking we asked for um a little bit of a contingency so that we could have enough to finish the project, which was the $2 million, and that's what was approved by the Board of Finance.

Um, so we're asking now for the city portion to be appropriated in the amount of $2 million to pay for those city items that are part of the um Pernalane project.

Are there any any questions?

Do I see any hands up?

Representative Weinberg.

Uh thank you.

Um and uh Chair Brink.

Uh I have a number of questions uh about this project since it uh you know, since it takes place since it's taking place in District 20.

Um can you summarize first what what work remains to be completed?

Oh, yeah, sure, of course.

Um let me uh I'll I'll do it by telling you what was finished, a lot of the work that's finished, and we'll talk about what's left.

So uh on Pernal Lane is um just north of um, or the project is just north of the Merritt Parkway.

It takes on up homes on High Ridge Road, and then to the east of High Ridge Road, there's three or four streets that there's homes on, Willer Terrace, uh Brentwood, Pernalane, Somerset, you know, some of those streets back there, and one um a few streets to the west of High Ridge Road.

And so all the local roads, the storm, the sanitary sewer, the storm sewer, everything is in, all the sewer laterals are in, um, and the roads are paved.

So for those roads, they're they're completely finished.

All they're waiting for are the pump stations to be finished, and us to tell people that you can connect now, and then they can go ahead and get their connections made to the system.

Uh each house has a service lateral that's left at the property line for them to connect into.

It's been placed in a location that the homeowner has chosen.

So uh they're as soon as we can we tell them that we're ready to connect, they can.

Um what's left is some work on high ridge road.

Uh we have to wait until the spring.

The DOT has control over High Ridge Road.

It's the DOT, it's a state road.

And so they they shut down for the winter.

You cannot do work on there.

Um we have some service laterals, I think 23 to be installed that run from the main to the property line of the house.

Um we have a small amount of force main that's going to go from the pump station into Pernal Lane.

So I I believe it's there's only about 60 feet of that.

Um everything else is in, but Pernalane um uh high ridge road still has to be paved, and that's gonna be DOT is gonna tell us uh whether they want curb to curb, half the road width, just the trend, like they they will um decide what the paving requirements are going to be.

So we'll find that when we when the asphalt plants open up in April and they can start finishing that work, um, then we'll we'll be done with that.

Uh through the winter, they are working on the two pump stations.

There's one on Pernal Lane at the almost at the corner of Pernal Lane and High Ridge Road, and then there's a second pump station on that little um, it's like a little extension or a little piece of turn of river road right north of the Merritt Parkway.

And then there's a second pump station on that little um, it's like a little extension or a little piece of turn of river road right north of the Merrill Parkway.

There'll be a pump station in there as well.

So those two pump stations still have to be done, and some of the work on high ridge road still has to be done.

The right now the completion date is about is um scheduled for June of 2026.

Uh well thank thank you for anticipating my second question.

Appreciate that.

So you know, it's so some of the costs, of course, are being uh uh cost shared between um the WPCA and um and the property owners.

Um does this this two million dollar additional appropriation that's being requested here.

Uh will that trigger additional uh cost sharing expectations on behalf for the red for the property owners, or is this independent of the cost sharing uh arrangement?

This this part is taken out of the cost-sharing arrangement.

This is strictly city costs, and the cost sharing is only for sanitary sort costs, what we call this the sort costs.

So this part is completely separate.

It is taken out, it will not be part of that cost sharing.

Okay.

Thank you very much.

That that that's it for my questions.

I yield.

Are there any further questions?

Since I'm seeing none, I'd like to entertain a motion to approve this amend this additional appropriation.

Do I get uh I hear do I hear a second?

Second.

Oh, great.

Uh let's try a voice vote.

All those in favor, please say aye.

Aye, aye.

Aye.

Any opposed?

Any abstentions?

With that, this motion was carried 900.

And thank you very much.

Everyone.

Thank you.

Thank you, Ms.

Brown.

And thank you, Director Brink.

Thank you.

Um with that, uh, we'll move on to F32.005.

This is a resolution amending the capital budget for fiscal year 2526 by adding an appropriation of $2 million for the Pernal Lane area stormwater infrastructure and authorizing $2 million in general obligation bonds of the city to meet set appropriation.

It was approved by uh for $2 million by the Ford Board of Finance 500.

Uh move item 0.

Is there any?

I'm sorry.

I'll move item two.

Uh thank you.

I uh do I have a second?

Second.

Thank you.

Uh Representative De La Cruz.

Uh all those in favor will try a voice voice vote again.

All those in favor, please say aye.

Aye.

Aye.

All those opposed.

Any abstentions?

Let the record reflect the vote was 900 on a voice vote.

Thank you very much.

Moving along, item three, F32.012 for 53,438.

This is an additional appropriation operating.

Uh employee benefits, pay plan request.

This is approved by the voter both sorry by the board of finance 500.

Uh is there anyone here from HR who would like to speak on this?

Like to move item three, please.

Item three has been moved.

Is there a second?

Second.

I think there's a call for discussion.

Anybody wish to open a discussion about this item?

Are there any questions?

Is there anyone from the city who wish to address us about this?

Uh this is Bill McGuire at finance.

Um, I can't run through all the um uh the HR analysis, but I'll just say that the the amount, the 53,438, what that represents is the um the impact of the increase uh over the last uh three fiscal months of this year of 2526.

All right.

Thank you.

And good evening, representatives.

This is Bridget Fox from the Mayor's Office.

And I just will share, I'm I'm happy to answer any questions.

This was a study that the mayor asked be conducted a year ago regarding compensation and pay for uh employees in the pay plan.

So we we did hire Al Cava, who had been the HR director for the city of Stanford for many years, and he conducted this study, which I think you've been able to see, and it went through the personnel commission, the board of finance, and the personnel committee.

So it's it reflects um a lot of input from various boards.

But happy to answer any questions.

Are there any questions from anyone present?

I don't see any hands up.

Thank you.

All right.

Uh and with that, uh I'm going to ask that we have a voice vote on this.

Uh all those in favor, please say aye.

I'll be right back.

Any abstentions?

Any abstentions?

Any opposed?

Uh thank you.

This mote was careful.

Sorry, this uh appropriation was carried 900.

Uh we will move right along to item four.

Okay.

F32.028.

This is a rejection.

Capital project closeout recommendations, utility paving project number CP8711 for 1,223,801 and 59 cents, state grant and C 56182 street patch and resurfacing for 1,223, 801 and 59 cents.

This is approved as no action taken by the Board of Finance.

Uh do I hear a motion to consider this as a rejection?

So move.

Thank you.

Do I hear a second?

Second.

All right.

Is there anyone from traffic and safety who would like to address this?

Uh yes, I I can speak to this.

Uh this is Anthony Romano from the OPM department.

Um, agenda item four through seven are all related.

Um we're um we're uh touching the utility pavement account and the street patch, which is our other pavement account.

Um the utility pavement account is not eligible uh for uh grant funding because of the way it was procured by the city, and what we're trying to do is we're just swapping funding sources.

So we want to uh um move bond funds to the two utility pavement uh project and then move the uh grant funds, which is low set to the street pavement project.

So agenda item four is the closeouts for for both of the projects, and then uh five and six are the additional appropriations for the appropriate funding sources, and then uh agenda item seven is a resolution for the bonds.

Thank you for that.

Uh thank you for the clarification.

Uh do I are there any questions?

Yeah, um sorry.

Yes, representative LePine.

Thank you, Chair.

Yes, Mr.

Romano, just can you is it is it a purely neutral decision?

There's no impact of moving these funds around that you have the total discretion to do that, and there'll be no negative impact to the other sources of funding by taking it from one and using the other.

Those are all fully funded, and you you can move them at will.

Well, we we can't move them at will.

We need your approval to move on.

Well, with our approval, right?

Without penalty, I would say.

Yeah, but we can do that.

Um, it's just that the utility payment account, we we can't uh pay with uh grant funds.

Um because the way we we procured the uh with the vendor.

Um it happens to be the same vendor for both for both projects, just it's just the way it was procured.

Um so that's why we're doing this.

Okay, I hope that answered your question.

All right.

So uh just to clarify, oh sorry, representative Morrison.

No, go ahead.

Well, you're gonna say first, coach here.

All right, thank you.

Uh, I was gonna ask just to clarify for my understanding.

This is essentially an internal movement of funds from one book to another.

And so there's there's no additional appropriation across the city, no additional expense.

Is that correct?

No.

That's correct.

It's a net zero.

It's a net zero.

Thank you for the clarification.

Thank you.

Representative Morrison.

Uh thank you, co-chair.

Uh just want to make sure everybody on the committee understands how to handle a rejection item.

Uh so when when Chair Zachary calls for a vote, uh what we're going to do is uh if we are not going to reject this rejection, in other words, approve the rejection.

Is everyone clear?

Is there any questions for us?

Thank you for the clarification, Representative Morrison.

Are there any questions?

Any further questions?

With that, I would call a motion for a vote.

Sorry, I guess this has already been motion.

I represent Weinberg.

Sorry, I see a hand up.

Representative Weinberg.

Thank you.

Uh Mr.

Romano, can you explain where it's where it says that it's um this is actually in 32029?

But uh consistent with your the comments that you've made.

You say that this project utility payment project's not eligible for grant because the project bid was not procured in accordance with applicable state or federal requirements.

Can you can you elaborate on that?

In what way was it uh procured?

Um was the bid not procured in accordance with with applicable state or federal requirements.

Well, one um representative Weinberg, if I may.

Uh can we uh can we hold that question until we dispose properly of item four, the rejection item?

Glad to.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you, Representative Morrison.

Thank you, co-chair.

Uh with that, I will call for a rejection vote.

Please remember that we are the ordering changes.

So previously we would have said aye, but now we're gonna say nay.

So all those in who wish to approve the rejection, I guess that's the right way to say it.

Please make sure we would ask all those in favor, and ostensibly there would be no one in favor of rejecting it.

And then all those opposed, then we would all ostentively say no.

All those in favor of approving the rejection.

All those opposed, please say no or no.

No.

Anyone abstaining?

So that was unanimous rejection.

The first rejection vote I've done.

This is interesting.

Okay.

Yeah.

It didn't dissolve into chaos.

I figure that's a plus.

All right.

Thank you very much.

Now we're going to move on to item five, F32.029 for 1,223,801 and 59 cents.

An additional appropriation capital.

Project CP 8711, utility paving.

Request requesting to replace LOSIP grant funding with bond funding.

Because the project bid was not procured in accordance with applicable applicable state or federal requirements.

I would entertain a motion for this.

Do I hear a motion?

Some of second.

Second.

All right.

Thank you.

Now I know Representative Weinberg had a question that was standing from or remaining open from item four.

So if you'd like to pose that now.

It looks like reading five and six that the um the original request uh for the low set grant funding was not eligible for the grant funding, but there's been a subsequent um application for LOSIP grant funding that does comply.

Um, so that ultimately this will still be funded through a low CIP grant.

Do I understand correctly?

Uh yeah, that's correct.

So um basically our our regular pavement account, we can use grant funds and our utility pavement accountant cannot.

So we're just you know flip-flopping the phone in so we can um uh use this low set funding for payden and the other project.

Okay, thank you.

I yield.

Thank you.

Are there any further questions?

With that, I would call for a voice vote.

All those in favor of approving this additional appropriation, please say aye.

Aye.

Aye.

All those all those opposed.

Any abstentions.

That was carried by unanimous voice vote.

Thank you very much.

All right, item six, F32.030 for 1,223,801.59 cents.

Additional appropriation capital.

Project C56182.

Street patch and resurfacing requesting to replace bond funding with LOSIP grant funding for the street patch project.

As the project qualifies for MOSIP eligibility and complies with the applicable applicable state procurement requirements.

This is approved by the Board of Finance 500.

Do I have a motion to approve this appropriation?

So moved.

Thank you.

Any second?

Is there a second?

Second.

Thank you.

Any questions?

Comments?

I open the floor to discussion.

No seeing no questions?

No comments.

I call for a voice vote.

Let's try this.

All those in favor, please say aye.

Aye.

Aye.

Aye.

Any opposed?

Oops.

Thank you.

Any opposed?

Any abstentions?

Again, this was carried unanimously.

So we'll move along to item 7, F32.031.

This is approved by the Board of Finance 500.

I would entertain a motion to approve this resolution.

So moved.

And any seconds?

Second.

Turk?

Well, he's here.
