Top issues during term (20)
Independent Police Auditor Oversight and Flock System Audits
$405,000 for the initial 3-year term, with two 1-year renewal options up to $300,000, funded by state frontline grants.
Lake Chabot Road Emergency Evacuation Route Repairs
Roughly $1.5 million cited so far, which critics say falls short of what sections two and three need.
Critical Infrastructure and Technology Replacement
About $1.2 million remains in the project budget, some of which will go to temporary expert contractors.
Proposed Warehouse Redevelopment at 3199 Alvarado Street
Will generate construction jobs, local operational employment, and development impact fees for city street and traffic improvements.
Cannabis Retail Policy and Zoning Expansion
Potential generation of additional local tax revenue and economic development opportunities from expanded cannabis retail operations.
East Bay Greenway Regional Bikeway Construction
Funded largely by a $30 million federal advocacy win and state SB 1 Active Transportation Program grant dollars — no new local hit.
Feral Cat Colony Management and City Codes
Staff time required to research and draft municipal code updates.
Council Conflict Resolution and Rules Committee Scope
None anticipated directly from adopting the handbook policy.
ALPR Transparency and Outside Expert Presentations
Ongoing contract costs for automated license plate reader services.
Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Zoning Code Updates
No direct cost to residents; streamlined review could speed up backyard-home construction.
AC Transit Funding and Potential Service Reductions
Without new funding, riders could see 70% service cuts and 50% fare hikes within two years.
Casa Peralta Historic Preservation and Assessment Costs
Full restoration could cost up to $15 million; the city has just $1.3 million left in the project budget and would save about $112,000 a year in maintenance if it gives the property up.
Monarch Bay Golf Course Review and Revenue Decline
The city nets about $1 million a year from the course and has spent $4 million on repairs in recent years; a consultant estimates $5–8 million more is needed.
Fiscal Year 2027 Mid-Cycle Budget and Arts Funding
Reduces library department expenditures by $850,000 across upcoming fiscal years and eliminates the $50,000 public art/grants budget.
Transition to District-Based Council Elections
Impact is currently absorbed within existing staff time and ongoing coordination with Alameda County election officials.
Annual RIPA Report and Stop Data Analysis
Oversight data analysis is managed within existing IPA and municipal contract frameworks.
Ava Community Energy Electricity Default Options
Roughly $80–100 a year in savings for typical residential customers on the cheaper default.
Data Center Development Concerns
Potential impact on municipal tax revenues and planning staff workload.
Bank reconciliation timeliness
