ADJUSTING THE STORM DRAINAGE FEE FOR FISCAL YEAR 2023-24 BY 2.0% BASED ON THE CPI —
SAN FRANCISCO AREA AS PUBLISHED ON MARCH 14. 2023
Finance Director Yu -Scott stated that in 2009, the voters approved a storm drainage fee to fund the City's
storm drain related capital improvement projects. She explained that the ordinance allows the City to
adjust the rate annually by CPI, but not to exceed 2%. She noted that the February CPI is over 5%, and
therefore staff recommends a 2% increase for FY 2023-24.
Councilmember Beach stated that it seemed like the impact would be about $6 per parcel. Finance
Director Yu -Scott replied in the affirmative.
Mayor Brownrigg opened the public hearing. No one spoke.
Councilmember Beach made a motion to adopt Resolution Number 043-2023; seconded by Councilmember
Stevenson. The motion passed unanimously by roll call vote, 5-0.
b. INTRODUCTION OF AN ORDINANCE RENEWING THE BURLINGAME POLICE DEPARTMENT
MILITARY EQUIPMENT USE POLICY: CEQA DETERMINATION: EXEMPT PURSUANT TO STATE CE
GUIDELINES SECTIONS 15378. 15061(b)(3
City Attorney Guina stated that AB 481, a law that became effective January 1, 2022, requires law
enforcement agencies to adopt a military equipment use policy ("Policy") prior to taking certain actions
relating to the funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment as that term is defined by the statute. He
explained that pursuant to AB 481, the Policy must be adopted by ordinance at a regular meeting of the
governing body for that law enforcement agency.
City Attorney Guina stated that on May 2, 2022, the City Council adopted Ordinance Number 2005, which
included Burlingame Police Department's Military Equipment Use Policy and a list of military equipment.
City Attorney Guina stated that the Burlingame Police Department does not possess any tactical equipment
from the military, nor does it possess any equipment that was designed for military use. He explained that
Agenda Item: 8b
Meeting Date: May 1, 2023
the police department does possess some types of police equipment that fall under the broad definition of
military equipment in AB 481, including the following:
• AR-15 semiautomatic rifle capable of firing 5.56 mm projectile bullets
• M4 select fire rifle
• 40 mm less lethal launchers and kinetic energy munitions
• pepperball FTC pepperball less lethal pepperball launchers and pepperball munitions
City Attorney Guina stated that pursuant to AB 481, because the police department participates in the
North County Regional SWAT, the military equipment that is used by that SWAT team must be included. He
explained that the North County Regional SWAT utilizes the following military equipment:
• Drones
• Mine resistant ambush protected vehicles
• Wheeled vehicles with breaching apparatus
• Battering rams/slugs
• AR-15
• Flashbang grenades, tear gas, pepper balls
• Long range acoustic device
He noted that the above listed equipment is owned by other cities.
City Attorney Guina stated that AB 481 requires the City to adopt an annual military equipment report for
each type of military equipment approved by the governing body within one year of approval, and annually
thereafter for as long as the military equipment is available for use. He added that the annual report is
required to be made publicly available on the police department's website.
City Attorney Guina stated that within 30 days of submitting and publicly releasing the annual military
equipment report, the law enforcement agency must hold at least one well -publicized and conveniently
located community meeting. He explained that the meeting is to allow the general public to discuss and
ask questions regarding the annual report and the law enforcement agency's funding, acquisition, or use of
military equipment. He noted that the police department prepared its 2022 annual report and posted it on
the department's website on April 6. Following the public release of the report, on April 11, 2023, Chief
Matteucci, Captain Boll, and City Attorney staff held a meeting at the Community Center that was open to
the general public.
City Attorney Guina stated that AB 481 requires that the Council may only renew the ordinance if it
determines all of the following:
The military equipment is necessary because there is no reasonable alternative that can achieve the
same objective of officer and civilian safety;
The proposed Policy will safeguard the public's welfare, safety, civil rights, and civil liberties;
If purchasing equipment, the equipment is reasonably cost-effective compared to available
alternatives that can achieve the same objectives of officer and civilian safety; and
4
Agenda Item: 8b
Meeting Date: May 1, 2023
Prior military equipment complied with the Policy that was in effect at the time, or if prior uses did
not comply with the Policy, that corrective action has been taken to remedy nonconforming uses
and ensure future compliance
Vice Mayor Colson asked if partner agencies acquire large tactical equipment during the year, would it be
covered in the next report. City Attorney Guina replied in the affirmative.
Vice Mayor Colson asked if the City helps make the decision on whether to purchase equipment in a
partnership. Police Chief Matteucci stated that for North County SWAT, while the City doesn't have a say in
what other cities purchase, the City does have a say in what equipment is used in Burlingame.
Councilmember Stevenson asked why the annual report does not include the equipment of other law
enforcement agencies like the Sheriff's Office that may act in the city. Police Chief Matteucci stated that
other agencies may come into the city, but they must first ask permission to engage in the city. He
explained that it wouldn't make sense to list all equipment that might possibly be used in the city by other
agencies.
Councilmember Beach asked who funds the SWAT team. Police Chief Matteucci stated that each City funds
its own officers and equipment.
Mayor Brownrigg opened the public hearing. No one spoke.
Councilmember Ortiz made a motion to bring back the proposed ordinance for a second reading; second by
Councilmember Stevenson. The motion was approved unanimously by roll call vote, 5-0.
10. STAFF REPORTS AND COMMUNICATIONS
a. CONSIDERATION OF TWO APPOINTMENTS TO THE MEASURE I CITIZENS' OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE
City Manager Goldman stated that due to the expiring terms of Stephanie Lee and Sandeep Shroff, the
Measure I Citizens' Oversight Committee has two vacancies. She noted that the vacancies were publicized,
and staff notified past applicants. She explained that the City received two applications as of the
application deadline of Friday, February 24, 2023. She added that committee members Stephanie Lee and
Sandeep Shroff did not re -apply, and therefore the City extended the deadline.
City Manager Goldman stated that on April 11, 2023, the City Council interviewed applicants Todd Gemmer
and Peter Roddy. She explained that the appointees' terms will be for three years, ending on February 20,
2026.
Mayor Brownrigg opened the item up for public comment. No one spoke.
The Council filled out their ballots, and the City Clerk tabulated their ballots.
Agenda Item: 8b
Meeting Date: May 1, 2023
Congratulations to Peter Roddy and Todd Gemmer.
b. CONSIDERATION OF APPOINTMENT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION
City Manager Goldman stated that due to the expiring term of Commissioner Gaul, the Planning
Commission currently has one vacancy. She explained that the vacancy was publicized, and notice was sent
to past applicants. She noted that the City received one application as of the deadline. However, because
Commissioner Gaul elected not to re -apply, the deadline was extended. As of the extended deadline of
March 17, there were two applications.
City Manager Goldman stated that on April 11, 2023, the City Council interviewed applicants Adam Glick
and Walker Shores. She explained that the appointee's term will be for four years, ending on April 7, 2027.
Mayor Brownrigg opened the item up for public comment. No one spoke.
The Council filled out their ballots, and the City Clerk tabulated their ballots.
Congratulations to Walker Shores on his appointment to the Planning Commission.
The Council thanked both candidates for applying.
c. APPOINTMENT OF A DIRECTOR TO THE BOARDS OF THE BAY AREA WATER CONSERVATION
AGENCY AND THE BAY AREA REGIONAL WATER FINANCING AUTHORITY
At the Mayor's discretion this item was moved to after 10d "Consideration of a Surveillance Technology
Ordinance".
DPW Murtuza stated that to serve as a Director on both boards, the appointee must be a resident and
registered voter of the City, but the individual does not need to be a City Councilmember. He noted that
the term for this appointment will be for four years, effective July 1, 2023 and expiring June 30, 2027.
DPW Murtuza stated that although not a requirement, an advantage of appointing a currently serving or
former elected member of Council to the boards is the stature that the Councilmember's presence gives
BAWSCA in its dealings with San Francisco, regulatory agencies, and legislators.
Mayor Brownrigg asked the Council to first consider whether the Council agreed it should be a current
Councilmember.
The Council agreed.
The Council discussed the benefits of appointing Councilmember Stevenson as Director to the Board of the
Bay Area Water Conservation Agency and the Bay Area Regional Water Financing Authority.
6
Agenda Item: 8b
Meeting Date: May 1, 2023
Mayor Brownrigg opened the item up for public comment. No one spoke.
Vice Mayor Colson made a motion to appoint Councilmember Stevenson as a Director to the Boards of the
Bay Area Water Conservation Agency and the Bay Area Regional Water Financing Authority; seconded by
Councilmember Ortiz. The motion passed unanimously by roll call vote, 5-0.
d. CONSIDERATION OF A SURVEILLANCE TECHNOLOGY ORDINANCE
At the Mayor's discretion this item was moved to before 10c "Appointment of a Director to the Boards of
the Bay Area Water Conservation Agency and the Bay Area Regional Water Financing Authority".
City Attorney Guina stated that at their April 4, 2022 meeting, the City Council discussed and authorized
deployment of Automated License Plate Readers ("ALPRs"). He explained that as part of the discussion, the
Council also considered whether to adopt a surveillance technology ordinance as part of the ALPR program.
He noted that ultimately, the Council decided not to proceed with the surveillance technology ordinance as
part of the ALPR deployment. However, Councilmember Beach asked and received support for a Future
Agenda Item to continue the Surveillance technology discussion.
City Attorney Guina explained that a surveillance technology ordinance governs the procurement and
oversight of surveillance technology. He stated that the Council has complete discretion to define
"surveillance technology," but the term can be defined as software, a device, or an electronic system used
primarily to collect and retain data on an individual or group. He gave examples of surveillance technology
including ALPRs, gunshot detectors, and facial recognition software.
City Attorney Guina stated that a surveillance technology ordinance could require the Council to consider
and adopt a surveillance impact report and a surveillance use policy prior to the acquisition, use, or sharing
of data involving surveillance technology. He added that the ordinance could require the Council to have
an annual review of the City's surveillance technology.
City Attorney Guina reviewed what could go into a surveillance use policy:
• Purpose of the surveillance technology
• Authorized uses of the technology and the rules and procedures for the use of technology
• Data collection, data access, data protection, data sharing, and data retention
• How the collected data may be accessed by members of the public
• Training required for users of the technology
• Auditing and oversight for compliance with the policy
City Attorney Guina reviewed what could go into a surveillance impact report for each type of technology
proposed:
• The surveillance technology and how it works
• The proposed purpose of the technology
7
Agenda Item: 8b
Meeting Date: May 1, 2023
• The proposed location(s) for deployment of the technology and crime statistics for the location(s)
• An assessment of any potential impact on civil liberties and civil rights, as well as any plans to
safeguard rights of the public
• The costs of the technology and sources of funding
• How and where the data collected will be stored and handled
• The experience, if any, of other governmental agencies who have used the same or similar
technology, including an analysis of the effectiveness and any known adverse impacts, including
unanticipated costs, civil rights or civil liberties impacts, and failures in the technology
City Attorney Guina stated that the ordinance would require an annual surveillance report.
City Attorney Guina stated that the cities of Davis, Berkeley, Oakland, San Francisco, and San Diego have
adopted a surveillance technology ordinance.
Councilmember Ortiz asked if the annual report would be brought to Council. City Attorney Guina replied
in the affirmative.
Vice Mayor Colson stated that no other city in San Mateo County that have ALPRs have surveillance
ordinances. She asked if any other city in San Mateo County has ALPR policies. City Attorney Guina replied
that each city that has ALPRs also has policies in place for the ALPRs.
Vice Mayor Colson asked if the City does adopt an ordinance what the difference in enforcement is for an
ordinance versus a policy. City Attorney Guina replied that the ordinance has the force of law and requires
the City to do certain things. He explained that a policy creates guiding principles that should be
considered.
Councilmember Stevenson asked if the policy that was written for ALPRs is adequate to cover other
surveillance technology. City Attorney Guina replied in the negative. He stated that it focuses on ALPRs.
Mayor Brownrigg opened the item up for public comment.
Secure Justice Executive Director Brian Hofer stated that he has worked with municipalities across the
country on their surveillance technology ordinances. He discussed the importance of the annual report
that is included in surveillance technology ordinance. He explained that while some types of technology
might not have privacy concerns, there is a taxpayer component that should require annual reviews of
whether the technology is necessary.
Mr. Hofer stated that the ordinance helps to create greater transparency, ensures community input, and
creates legal protections. He noted that he has templates that the City could use to customize its own
ordinance.
E3
Agenda Item: 8b
Meeting Date: May 1, 2023
Mayor Brownrigg asked if a surveillance technology ordinance would help the City preemptively address
questions regarding future technology and how it might negatively impact groups. Mr. Hofer replied in the
affirmative. He explained that a surveillance technology ordinance gives the City the tools to evaluate
technology prior to purchasing and using it.
Councilmember Beach asked what technology would be applicable to this ordinance. Mr. Hofer stated that
fixed cameras, GPS trackers, and potentially body worn cameras. He noted that these ordinances assist the
City in narrowing how these types of technology are used and what the retention policy is for the data
collected. He warned about commingling data with other agencies.
Mayor Brownrigg closed public comment.
Councilmember Ortiz stated that when the Council decided to move forward with ALPRs, this policy was
discussed. He noted that he was in favor of adopting a policy in order to create guardrails for future
technology.
Vice Mayor Colson stated that she was in favor of a policy not an ordinance. She asked if the City currently
uses facial recognition software. City Attorney Guina replied in the negative.
Vice Mayor Colson asked what types of surveillance technology the City uses other than ALPRs. City
Attorney Guina replied that the City has cameras.
Mayor Brownrigg asked if he was correct that the ordinance wouldn't regulate a particular type of
surveillance technology; instead, it would provide the Council, public, and staff with the structure on how
to review future purchases. City Attorney Guina replied in the affirmative.
Vice Mayor Colson noted that if facial recognition software was brought to the Council, she would vote it
down. She added that she didn't think this proposed ordinance was needed as the City wasn't utilizing
surveillance technology, unlike a bigger city.
City Attorney Guina noted that the police department does have a policy in place for body worn cameras
and the retention of the data obtained.
Councilmember Ortiz asked if an individual could sue the City if it wasn't upholding a policy. City Attorney
Guina stated that people can sue on policies and ordinance violation. He noted that the ordinance has the
trappings of law, while a policy doesn't have that same weight.
Councilmember Beach stated that what she likes about this ordinance is that it says surveillance technology
is important enough and of a concern that the City wants to go the extra mile on how it is implemented in
the City. She thought the type of impact reports that would come from this type of ordinance would look
more carefully at civil liberties.
The Council discussed the pros and cons of ordinances versus policies for surveillance technology.
9
Agenda Item: 8b
Meeting Date: May 1, 2023
Mayor Brownrigg stated that if the City wanted to repeal an ordinance, it would take a lot more process
and action than if a policy is terminated. He added that he liked all of the processes and protocols that are
put into surveillance ordinances to outline how the City and staff goes about thinking of future technology.
Vice Mayor Colson stated that she thought a policy would assist the City with reviewing future surveillance
technology. She noted that she believed other cities in the Bay weren't adopting surveillance technology
ordinances because they aren't thinking about purchasing facial recognition software and other
technology. She added that the City's ALPR policy was working and had assisted the City. She explained
that her opinion would be to create a policy and then see if later down the line it needed to be turned into
an ordinance.
Councilmember Stevenson stated that he thought an ordinance or a policy would be equally effective.
Councilmember Beach stated that she thought the Council would have had a more well-informed decision
on ALPRs if a surveillance technology ordinance was in place at the time. She voiced concerns about
ensuring transparency when purchasing surveillance technology and utilizing another jurisdiction's
technology. She thought that adopting an ordinance would allow for better discussions and transparency.
Councilmember Ortiz asked if the City's current ALPR policy requires an annual report. Police Chief
Matteucci stated that he would need to get back to Council with whether an annual report is required.
However, he noted that if it isn't required, he could amend the policy. He added that he does send
monthly reports to Council on ALPRs.
Police Chief Matteucci stated that policies and ordinances are only good if they are followed. He discussed
how serious the police department takes its policies. He explained that any use of force in the police
department has to follow a thorough review in accordance with the department's policy.
Mayor Brownrigg suggested having staff develop a policy for surveillance technology.
City Attorney Guina stated that the policy could include as much detail as the Council wants. He gave the
example of including how the policy is amended.
Councilmember Beach stated that she hopes that in the future the City adopts an ordinance. However, she
noted that what she cares the most about is that the City is thinking in these terms before the next
technology is purchased or utilized.

AB 481 (Government Code section 7070 et seq.) requires adoption of a Policy before the law
enforcement agency can take action to: request military equipment; seek funds (such as grants or
in -kind donations) for acquiring military equipment; actually acquire military equipment, either
permanently or temporarily by owning, borrowing, or leasing; collaborate with other law enforcement
agencies to deploy or use military equipment in the agency's territorial jurisdiction; use new or
existing military equipment in a manner not previously subject to AB 481's scope; solicit or respond
to a proposal for, or enter into an agreement with, any person or entity to seek funds for, apply for,
acquire, use, or collaborate in using military equipment; or to acquire military equipment through
any other means not specifically detailed in the statute.
The City Council conducted a duly noticed public and adopted the first reading of the proposed
Ordinance to renew the current Policy at its regular meeting on April 17, 2023. No changes to the
proposed Ordinance were requested; therefore, the Ordinance is presented to the City Council for
second reading and adoption. The staff report from the April 17 meeting is attached for reference.
FISCAL IMPACT
Since the department is not proposing to purchase new military equipment, but only seeks to
continue using current equipment, there is no fiscal impact associated with approval of this
Ordinance renewing the Policy.

AGENDA NO: 9b
MEETING DATE: April 17, 2023
Subject: Introduction of an Ordinance Renewing the Burlingame Police Department
Military Equipment Use Policy; CEQA Determination: Exempt pursuant to
State CEQA Guidelines Sections 15378, 15061(b)(3)
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council hold a Public Hearing to introduce the proposed Ordinance
renewing the Burlingame Police Department Military Equipment Use Policy ("Policy"). To introduce
the Ordinance, staff recommends the following procedure:
Recommended Procedure and Order of Operations:
A. Receive the staff report and ask any questions of staff.
B. Conduct a public hearing.
C. Discuss the Ordinance and by motion determine whether to bring it back for second
reading and adoption. If the Council is in favor of the Ordinance, direct the City Clerk to
publish a summary of the Ordinance at least five days before its proposed adoption.
BACKGROUND
On September 30, 2021, Governor Newsom signed a series of policing reform bills into law. These
laws are aimed at increasing police transparency. As part of that package, AB 481 (codified in
Government Code section 7070 et. seq), effective January 1, 2022, requires law enforcement
agencies to adopt a military equipment use policy ("Policy") prior to taking certain actions relating
to the funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment as that term is defined by the statute. The
Policy must be adopted by ordinance at a regular meeting of the governing body for that law
enforcement agency. In the case of the Burlingame Police Department ("BPD"), the City Council is
the governing body. Thereafter, the Policy must be reviewed and renewed by the City Council on
an annual basis for continued use of the military equipment.
On May 2, 2022, the City Council enacted Ordinance No. 2005, adopting BPD's Military Equipment
Use Policy and list of military equipment (Exhibit A).
1
Introduction of an Ordinance Renewing Military April 17, 2023
Equipment Use Policy
Definition of Military Equipment
AB 481 designates the following categories of items as military equipment':
1. Unmanned, remotely piloted, powered aerial or ground vehicles.
2. Mine -resistant ambush -protected vehicles or armored personnel carriers.
3. High mobility multipurpose wheeled vehicles (HMMWV), two -and -one -half -ton trucks, five -
ton trucks, or wheeled vehicles that have a breaching or entry apparatus attached.
4. Tracked armored vehicles that provide ballistic protection to their occupants and utilize a
tracked system instead of wheels for forward motion.
5. Command and control vehicles that are either built or modified to facilitate the operational
control and direction of public safety units.
6. Weaponized aircraft, vessels, or vehicles of any kind.
7. Battering rams, slugs, and breaching apparatuses that are explosive in nature.
8. Firearms and ammunition of .50 caliber or greater, excluding standard -issue shotguns and
standard -issue shotgun ammunition.
9. Specialized firearms and ammunition of less than .50 caliber, including firearms and
accessories identified as assault weapons in Penal Code § 30510 and Penal Code §30515,
with the exception of standard -issue handguns.
10. Any firearm or firearm accessory that is designed to launch explosive projectiles.
11. "Flashbang" grenades and explosive breaching tools, "tear gas," and "pepper balls,"
excluding standard, service -issued handheld pepper spray.
12. Taser Shockwave, microwave weapons, water cannons, and long-range acoustic devices.
13. Projectile launch platforms and their associated munitions including 40mm projectile
launchers, "bean bag," rubber bullet, and specialty impact munition weapons.
14. Any other equipment as determined by a governing body or a state agency to require
additional oversight.
The Burlingame Police Department does not possess any tactical equipment that it has obtained
from the military, nor does it possess any equipment that was designed for military use. The
Department does possess some types of police equipment that fall under the broad definition of
military equipment in AB 481, including the following:
• AR-15 semiautomatic rifle is capable of firing 5.56mm projectile bullet.
• M4 Select fire rifle.
• 40mm Less Lethal Launchers and Kinetic Energy Munitions
• Pepperball FTC Pepperball less lethal Pepperball launchers and Pepperball munitions
A complete description of this equipment is attached to the adopted Policy as Exhibit A, "Section
One: Qualifying Equipment Owned / Used by the Burlingame Police Department."

Introduction of an Ordinance Renewing Military April 17, 2023
Equipment Use Policy
The Burlingame Police Department participates in the North County Regional SWAT Team (NCR
SWAT). Some equipment is owned and operated by NCR SWAT through partner law enforcement
agencies (San Mateo PD, Foster City PD, San Bruno PD, South San Francisco PD, and Brisbane
PD). While the Burlingame Police Department does not own or operate this equipment, it could be
used in Burlingame by NCR SWAT if they are deployed to an incident within City limits. The list of
military equipment available to Burlingame PD through its participation in NCR SWAT is attached
to the Policy as Exhibit A, "Section Two: Qualifying equipment not already listed in this policy, which
is known to be owned and/or utilized by the North County Regional SWAT Team, for which the
Burlingame Police Department is a participating agency."
DISCUSSION
Annual Review
A law enforcement agency that receives approval for a military equipment use policy is required to
submit an annual military equipment report for each type of military equipment approved by the
governing body within one year of approval, and annually thereafter for as long as the military
equipment is available for use 2. The annual report is also required to be made publicly available on
the department's website.
The annual report must contain, at a minimum, the following information for the immediately
preceding calendar year for each type of military equipment3:
1. A summary of how the military equipment was used and the purpose of its use.
2. A summary of any complaints or concerns received concerning the military equipment.
3. The results of any internal audits, any information about violations of the military equipment
use policy, and any actions taken in response.
4. The total annual cost for each type of military equipment, including acquisition, personnel,
training, transportation, maintenance, storage, upgrade, and other ongoing costs, and from
what source funds will be provided for the military equipment in the calendar year following
submission of the annual military equipment report.
5. The quantity possessed for each type of military equipment.
6. If the law enforcement agency intends to acquire additional military equipment in the next
year, the quantity sought for each type of military equipment.
In addition, within 30 days of submitting and publicly releasing the annual military equipment report,
the law enforcement agency must hold at least one well -publicized and conveniently located
community meeting at which the general public may discuss and ask questions regarding the
annual report and the law enforcement agency's funding, acquisition, or use of military equipmenO.
The Department prepared its 2022 Annual Report (Exhibit B) and posted it on the BPD website on
April 6, 2023. The Annual Report provides the information required by AB 481. In summary, there
have been no complaints or concerns regarding the military equipment owned by BPD, and no
internal audits or violations of the Policy.

Introduction of an Ordinance Renewing Military April 17, 2023
Equipment Use Policy
Following the public release of the Annual Report, on April 11, 2023, Chief Matteucci, Captain Boll,
and City Attorney staff held a publicized meeting at the Community Center that was open to the
general public. Staff provided a presentation of the Annual Report and answered questions about
BPD's military equipment.
Renewal of Ordinance Approvinq Military Equipment
AB 481 requires the City Council to annually review the ordinance authorizing the funding,
acquisition, or use of military equipment, and thereafter vote on whether to renew the ordinance.
The review must occur at a regular meeting of the City Council. In reviewing the ordinance and
determining whether to renew it, the City Council shall consider the annual military equipment report
and determine whether it complies with the standards originally required for initial adoption of the
military equipment Policy'. The Council may renew the ordinance if it determines all of the following:
• The military equipment is necessary because there is no reasonable alternative that can
achieve the same objective of officer and civilian safety;
• The proposed Policy will safeguard the public's welfare, safety, civil rights, and civil liberties;
• If purchasing equipment, the equipment is reasonably cost-effective compared to available
alternatives that can achieve the same objective of officer and civilian safety; and
• Prior military equipment complied with the Policy that was in effect at the time, or if prior
uses did not comply with the Policy, that corrective action has been taken to remedy
nonconforming uses and ensure future compliance.
For the military equipment used by the Burlingame Police department, staff believes the City
Council is able to make the required findings. The military equipment used by BPD is necessary
because there are no reasonable alternatives that can achieve the same objective for officer and
civilian safety. The BPD military equipment is designed to safeguard the public welfare, safety, and
civil rights: the Policy and the Annual Report describe the purpose and use of each type of
equipment, the fiscal impacts, the rules of use for the equipment, and the training required. For the
upcoming year (2023), the Department is not proposing to purchase additional military equipment.
Over the last reporting period (2022), there was no violation of the Policy, no investigation for any
Policy violations, and therefore no need for corrective action.
FISCAL IMPACT
Since the Department is not proposing to purchase new military equipment, but only seeks to
continue using current equipment, there is no fiscal impact associated with approval of this
ordinance.

Subject: Adoption of a Resolution Rescinding the Water Shortage Emergency
Declaration Adopted on June 6, 2022, and Directing Staff to Continue to
Implement Water Use Restrictions Consistent with the Requirements of Title
23, Sections 995 and 996 of the California Code of Regulations for the Duration
of the Emergency Regulation
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council review the information presented in this staff report and
adopt the attached resolution as follows:
• Rescind the declaration of a water shortage emergency adopted by the City Council on
June 6, 2022, and declare that a water shortage condition no longer exists as required in
Chapter 15.06.010(b) of the City of Burlingame Municipal Code; and
• Direct staff to continue implementing water use restrictions consistent with Title 23, Sections
995 and 996(e)(1) of the California Code of Regulations for the duration that this emergency
regulation is in effect.
BACKGROUND
On November 23, 2021, the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission declared a water shortage
emergency calling for a 10% voluntary reduction from July 2019 to June 2020 levels. On March 28,
2022, Governor Newsom issued an Executive Order directing the California State Water Resources
Control Board and local water agencies to enact shortage response actions consistent with local
drought contingency plans. On May 24, 2022, the California State Water Resources Control Board
adopted emergency regulations for each urban water supplier that has submitted a water shortage
contingency plan to the Department of Water Resources to implement, at a minimum, the shortage
response actions adopted under Section 10632 of the Water Code for a shortage level of up to
20% (Level 2) by June 10, 2022. On June 6, 2022, the City Council declared a water shortage
emergency and adopted water use restrictions from Level 1 and Level 2 of the City of Burlingame's
Water Shortage Contingency Plan.

Resolution to Rescind Water Shortage Emergency Declaration
May 1, 2023
After three consecutive dry years, significant rain and snowfall from this past winter have effectively
ended the drought in many areas of the state. On March 24, 2023, Governor Newsom rolled back
many drought emergency provisions through Executive Order N-5-23 due to current water
conditions and maintained other conservation measures that support regions still facing water
supply challenges. This executive order:
• Ends the voluntary 15% water conservation target, while continuing to encourage
Californians to make conservation a way of life.
• Ends the request that urban water suppliers implement Level 2 of their water shortage
contingency plan.
• Maintains the ban on wasteful water uses, such as watering ornamental grass on
commercial properties.
• Preserves all current emergency orders focused on groundwater supply, where the effects
of the multi -year drought continue to be devastating.
• Maintains orders focused on specific watersheds that have not benefited as much from
recent rains, including the Klamath River and Colorado River basins, which both remain in
drought.
• Retains a state of emergency for all 58 counties to allow for drought response and recovery
efforts to continue.
The Governor's Executive Order N-5-23 does not end the statewide declaration of a water shortage
emergency. These executive actions were directed to the State Water Resources Control Board
(SWRCB), where the Board adopted these emergency regulations and received approval from the
Office of Administrative Law on June 10, 2022. Portions of the drought restrictions, such as the
requirement to implement Level 2 demand reduction actions and the ban on irrigating non-
functional turf, will expire on June 10, 2023.
On April 11, 2023, the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) unanimously passed
an action to rescind their declaration of a local water shortage emergency. While the declaration
has been rescinded, there remains a voluntary call for an 11 % water use reduction within the San
Francisco Regional Water System. The action approved by the SFPUC enables that 11 % call to
be dropped when the associated SWRCB drought action requirements are eliminated or expire.
SWRCB requirements expire on June 10, 2023.
DISCUSSION
Water Supply Update
Water supply conditions in the San Francisco Regional Water System (SFRWS) have drastically
improved in the past three months. As of March 20, 2023, the SFRWS is at 87.2% of total system
storage. For comparison, the median storage level for this day is 80.2%, which is based on historical
storage data from years 1991 through 2020. Refer to the attachment for more information.
Water Use Reductions
On November 23, 2021, the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission declared a water shortage
emergency calling for 10% voluntary reduction from July 2019 to June 2020 levels. City of

May 1, 2023
Burlingame residents and businesses have met this voluntary water reduction target. In Fiscal Year
(FY) 2021-2022, water use decreased 11% compared to FY 2019-2020.
Ongoing Water Restrictions
While Executive Order N-5-23 has cut back many water conservation measures, the following
restrictions on wasteful water use are still in effect.
• Wasteful and Unreasonable Water Uses per Title 23, Section 995 of the California
Code of Regulations — This emergency regulation was readopted in December 2022 and
extended until December 21, 2023. Until then, the following actions are still prohibited:
o The application of potable water to outdoor landscapes in a manner that causes
more than incidental runoff such that water flows onto adjacent property, non -
irrigated areas, private and public walkways, roadways, parking lots, or structures.
o The use of a hose that dispenses water to wash a motor vehicle, except where the
hose is fitted with a shut-off nozzle or device attached to it that causes it to cease
dispensing water immediately when not in use.
o The use of potable water for washing sidewalks, driveways, buildings, structures,
patios, parking lots, or other hard surfaced areas, except in cases where health and
safety are at risk.
o The use of potable water for street cleaning or construction site preparation
purposes unless no other method can be used or as needed to protect the health
and safety of the public.
o The use of potable water for decorative fountains or the filling or topping -off of
decorative lakes or ponds, with exceptions for those decorative fountains, lakes, or
ponds that use pumps to recirculate water and only require refilling to replace
evaporative losses.
o The application of water to irrigate turf and ornamental landscapes during and within
48 hours after measurable rainfall of at least one fourth of one inch of rain.
o The use of potable water for irrigation of ornamental turf on public street medians.
• Implementation of local supplier's Level 2 Water Shortage Contingency Plan and ban
on watering non-functional turf at commercial, industrial, and institutional sites per
Title 23, Section 996 of the California Code of Regulations — On June 10, 2022, the
state prohibited the irrigation of non-functional turf with potable water at commercial,
industrial, and institutional areas. "Non-functional turf" is defined as turf that is solely
ornamental and not regularly used for human recreational purposes or for civic or
community events. Non-functional turf does not include sports fields and turf that is regularly
used for human recreational purposes or for community events. Exceptions to this rule
include residential lawns, parks, and irrigation as necessary to ensure the health of trees
and other perennial non -turf plantings or to the extent necessary to address an immediate
health and safety need. This emergency regulatory action expires on June 10, 2023, unless
the State Water Resources Control Board modifies, readopts, or ends it before then.
• City of Burlingame's Wasteful Water Use Restrictions Ordinance — The City of
Burlingame adopted Chapter 15.07 (Wasteful Water Use Restrictions) of the Burlingame
Municipal Code. These permanent restrictions are intended to address wasteful water use

STATE OF CALIFORNIA
EXECUTIVE ORDER N-5-23
WHEREAS on April 21, 2021, May 10, 2021, July 8, 2021, and October 19,
2021, 1 proclaimed States of Emergency to exist due to drought conditions; and
WHEREAS the multi -year nature of the current drought, which began three
years after the record -setting drought of 2012-2016, continues to have
significant, immediate impacts on communities across California with vulnerable
water supplies, farms that rely on irrigation to grow food and fiber, and fish and
wildlife that rely on stream flows and cool water; and
WHEREAS the March 3, 2023, snow survey conducted by the Department
of Water Resources and partner agencies found that most regions of the Sierra
Nevada are above average for snow water content, and some regions are
nearing record amounts of snow, and snow and rain has fallen across many
regions of the state since then, with more precipitation forecasted; and
WHEREAS improved conditions have helped rehabilitate surface water
supplies, but have not abated the severe drought conditions that remain in
some parts of the State, including the Klamath River basin and the Colorado
River basin, and many groundwater basins throughout the State remain
depleted from overreliance and successive multi -year droughts; and
WHEREAS continued action by the State is needed to address ongoing
consequences of the drought emergency, including groundwater supply
shortages, domestic well failures, and drought -related harm to native fishes in
the Klamath River and Clear Lake watersheds; and
WHEREAS the drought emergency has required a dynamic and flexible
response from the State, and several provisions in my prior Proclamations and
Orders have been terminated or superseded already, specifically Paragraphs 4
and 8 of my State of Emergency Proclamation dated April 21, 2021, Paragraphs
2, 4, and 7 of my State of Emergency Proclamation dated May 10, 2021,
Paragraphs 3, 4, 5, 6, and 10 of my State of Emergency Proclamation dated July
8, 2021, and Paragraph 9 of Executive Order N-7-22; and
WHEREAS improved conditions warrant an even more targeted State
response to the ongoing drought emergency and certain provisions in my State
of Emergency Proclamations dated April 21, 2021, May 10, 2021, July 8, 2021,
and October 19, 2021, and in Executive Orders N-10-21, N-7-22, and N-3-23
provide authority that is no longer needed to mitigate the effects of the drought
conditions or direct actions by state agencies, departments, and boards that
have already been completed; and
WHEREAS notwithstanding the rescission of certain emergency authorities
for emergency drinking water action, state agencies have existing legal
authority and funding to continue expedited work to advance the human right
to water, and state agencies will continue all ongoing drought resilience
planning work, including through coordination with local agencies and tribes;
and
WHEREAS next winter's hydrology is uncertain and the most efficient way
to preserve the State's improved surface water supplies is for Californians to
continue their ongoing efforts to make conservation a way of life; and
WHEREAS to protect public health and safety, it is critical the State take
certain immediate actions without undue delay to prepare for and mitigate the
effects of the drought conditions, and under Government Code section 8571, 1
find that strict compliance with various statutes and regulations specified in this
Order would prevent, hinder, or delay the mitigation of the effects of the
drought conditions.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GAVIN NEWSOM, Governor of the State of California,
in accordance with the authority vested in me by the State Constitution and

Lift Water Shortage Emergency Declaration and Drought Surcharge and Continue Systemwide
Water Use Reduction
Project Manager: Paula Kehoe
Public Hearin: Lift Water Shortage Emergency Declaration and Drought Surcharge and
Continue Voluntary Systemwide Water Use Reduction of 11%
Summary of
Proposed
Commission Action:
Public hearing to consider and possible action to (1) rescind the declaration of
a local Water Shortage Emergency adopted by the San Francisco Public
Utilities Commission (SFPUC) on November 23, 2021, by Resolution No. 21-
0177, that also imposed a mandatory temporary drought surcharge for SFPUC
retail customers, and (2) continue the voluntary system -wide water use
reduction of 11 % compared to baseline water use during Fiscal Year 2019-
2020 to remain consistent with State Water Resources Control Board
emer enc drought regulations still in effect.
Background:
On November 23, 2021, by Resolution No. 21-0177, the Commission
approved the declaration of a local Water Shortage Emergency pursuant to the
California Water Code (Division 1, Chapter 3, Sections 350-359). In the same
action, the Commission: (1) called for a voluntary system -wide 10% reduction
in water use compared to baseline water use during Fiscal Year 2019-2020;
(2) authorized the General Manager to implement actions consistent with
Shortage Level 1 of the SFPUC's 2020 Water Shortage Contingency Plan
(WSCP), adopted by the Commission on June 11, 2021, by Resolution No.
21-0100; and (3) implemented a drought surcharge of up to 5% on all retail
water and wastewater volumetric rates as of April 1, 2022, in accordance with
the Schedule of Retail Water Rates and Wastewater Rates adopted by the
Commission on April 10, 2018, by Resolution Nos. 18-0053 and 18-0054,
respectively. Per the Schedule of Rates, the drought surcharge remains in
effect until the Commission adopts a resolution to rescind the local Water
Shortage Emergency declaration.
On May 24, 2022, by Resolution No. 22-0098, the Commission adopted an
increased system -wide water use reduction of 11 % compared to baseline
water use during Fiscal Year 2019-2020, consistent with Shortage Level 2 of
the SFPUC's WSCP and authorized the General Manager to implement
APPROVAL:
COMMISSION SECRETARY Donna Hood
Agreement: Rescind Water Shortage Emergency Declaration
Commission Meeting Date: April 11, 2023
actions under Shortage Level 2 of the WSCP, effective July 1, 2022. This
Commission action was taken in response to emergency regulations adopted
by the State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board) by State
Water Board Resolution No. 2022-0018, at the direction of the Governor in
Executive Order N-7-22 dated March 28, 2022. On February 13, 2023, the
Governor issued Executive Order N-3-23, which continued the statewide
drought emergency and regulations in effect, but also directed state agencies
to provide recommendations on whether any existing provisions in the
Governor's drought proclamations and executive orders are no longer needed
to mitigate drought conditions.
As of today's Commission meeting, based on system -wide hydrologic
conditions and water storage in the SFPUC's reservoirs, the SFPUC has
determined that a water shortage condition no longer exists. Accordingly,
Staff recommends that the Commission rescind the SFPUC's Water Shortage
Emergency declaration and the temporary drought surcharge that the
Commission adopted on November 23, 2021, by Resolution No. 21-0177.
The voluntary system -wide water use reduction of I I% that the Commission
adopted on May 24, 2022, by Resolution No. 22-0098, must remain in effect
consistent with State Water Board regulations (Cal. Code of Regulations, title
23, section 996), which continue to require the SFPUC to remain in Level 2 of
its drought response in its WSCP. If and when the State Water Board modifies
its regulations to no longer require the SFPUC to implement Level 1 or Level
2 actions of its WSCP, the SFPUC may rescind its resolution adopting Level 2
of its WSCP, including the 11% voluntary system -wide reduction. Also, the
minimum annual purchase requirements that apply to certain SFPUC
wholesale water customers that have other sources of water supply available
to them, under Section 3.07.0 of the Water Supply Agreement between the
SFPUC and its wholesale customers, as amended and restated on January 26,
2021, by Resolution No. 21-0009, with subsequent approval by the wholesale
customers, will continue to be waived until the State Water Board modifies or
ends its regulations requiring Level 2 implementation, because the State
Water Board's regulations were developed at the direction of the Governor in
Executive Order N-7-22 and result in impacts to water supply deliveries from
the Regional Water System.
The SFPUC believes it is no longer necessary for the State to maintain a
statewide requirement that all agencies with a WSCP remain in Shortage
Level 2 of their drought response plans. On March 16, 2023, in response to
the greatly improved local and statewide hydrologic conditions, the SFPUC
submitted a letter to the Chair of the State Water Board and Director of the
California Department of Water Resources, requesting they advise the
Governor to modify the current drought proclamation to lift requirements for
WSCP Level 2 actions from water agencies with sufficient, demonstrated
supplies. (See Attachment 1). On March 24, 2023, in response to these
improved conditions, the Governor issued Executive Order N-5-23, which
rescinded the relevant portions of Executive Order N-7-22 that prompted the
State Water Board to require urban water suppliers to implement Level 2 of
Agreement: Rescind Water Shortage Emergency Declaration
Commission Meeting Date: April 11, 2023
their drought response plans. While it is likely that the State Water Board will
act in response to the Governor's March 24, 2023 termination, the State Water
Board has not indicated if or when it plans to lift this requirement in its
regulations.
The SFPUC's temporary water waste restriction on use of potable water to
irrigate non-functional, ornamental commercial turf during drought, which the
Commission adopted on June 28, 2022, by Resolution No. 22-0126, to align
with the State Water Board's drought requirements, also remains in effect.
Pursuant to San Francisco Charter Section 4.104(a)(1), a Notice of Public
Hearing was posted at the San Francisco Main Library and on the SFPUC's
website on March 20, 2023.
Description of
This item seeks Commission approval to rescind Resolution No. 21-0177,
Action:
thereby (1) ending the local Water Shortage Emergency declaration and (2)
ending the retail customer drought surcharge effective May 1, 2023, and to
rescind the voluntary system -wide water use reduction of 11 % (Resolution
No. 22-0098) when the State Water Board modifies or ends its drought
emergency regulations to no longer require the SFPUC to implement the
drought res onse actions of its WSCP.
Result of Inaction:
A delay in adopting this Action will hinder the SFPUC's ability to lift its
Water Shortage Emergency declaration and end the temporary drought
surcharge on retail customers, actions which are no longer needed due to
reatl im roved systemwide hydrologic conditions.
Schedule:
The local Water Shortage Emergency declaration will end effective
immediately upon Commission approval. The retail customer drought
surcharge will end effective May 1, 2023. The voluntary system -wide water
use reduction of 11% and corresponding waiver of the minimum annual
purchase requirements that apply to certain wholesale water customers of the
SFPUC will end effective immediately upon State Water Board action to end
implementation of Level 1 or Level 2 actions and the SFPUC rescinding its
Resolution No. 22-0098.
Environmental
On November 23, 2021, by Resolution No. 21-0177, this Commission
Review:
declared a Water Shortage Emergency. Prior to this, on November 12, 2021,
the Planning Department determined that authorization of the SFPUC General
Manager to implement the SFPUC's WSCP in response to the emergency is
statutorily exempt from environmental review in accordance with California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section 21080(b)(4) and CEQA
Guidelines Section 15269(c) (Case Number 2021-011567ENV), which
exempt specific actions necessary to prevent or mitigate an emergency. The
continued voluntary system -wide water use reduction, consistent with State
Water Resources Control Board emergency drought regulations, remains
within the scope of the project authorized under the Statutory Exemption. The
exemption can be found here:

RESOLUTION NO.
WHEREAS, On November 23, 2021, by Resolution No. 21-0177, the San Francisco
Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) declared a local Water Shortage Emergency and adopted a
10% systemwide water use reduction compared to baseline water use during Fiscal Year 2019-
2020, which called for a 5% water use reduction by the SFPUC's retail customers and 13.7%
water use reduction by the SFPUC's wholesale customers, to collectively achieve a systemwide
water use reduction of 10%, consistent with Shortage Level I of the SFPUC's Water Shortage
Contingency Plan (WSCP), adopted by the Commission on June 11, 2021, by Resolution No. 21-
0100, and the Water Shortage Allocation Plan (WSAP), which is Attachment H of the Water
Supply Agreement between the City and County of San Francisco and its Wholesale Customers
in Alameda County, San Mateo County, and Santa Clara County, as amended and restated on
January 26, 2021, by Resolution No. 21-0009, with subsequent approval by the wholesale
customers (Water Supply Agreement); and
WHEREAS, On March 28, 2022, the Governor issued Executive Order N-7-22, which
directed the State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board) to adopt emergency
regulations requiring each urban water supplier that has submitted a WSCP to the California
Department of Water Resources to implement, at a minimum, shortage response actions adopted
under Section 10632 of the California Water Code for a shortage level of up to 20% (Shortage
Level 2); and
WHEREAS, On May 24, 2022, the State Water Board adopted such regulations by State

of 11 % compared to baseline water use during Fiscal Year 2019-2020, consistent with Shortage
Level 2 of the SFPUC's WSCP, and authorized the General Manager to implement actions under
Shortage Level 2 of the WSCP, effective July 1, 2022; and
WHEREAS, On February 13, 2023, the Governor issued Executive Order N-3-23, which
continued the statewide drought emergency and regulations in effect, but also directed state
agencies to provide recommendations on whether any existing provisions in the Governor's
drought proclamations and executive orders are no longer needed to mitigate drought conditions;
and
WHEREAS, on March 24, 2023, the Governor issued Executive Order N-5-23, which
among other actions terminated the portion of Executive Order N-7-22 that prompted the State
Water Board to adopt Resolution No. 22-0018 and require urban water suppliers to implement, at
minimum, Level 2 of their water shortage contingency plans; and
WHEREAS, Based on systemwide hydrologic conditions and water storage in the
SFPUC's reservoirs as of the date of this Commission meeting and as projected through the rest
of the year, the SFPUC has determined that a water shortage condition no longer exists, and
therefore a declaration of a local Water Shortage Emergency is no longer needed; and
WHEREAS, The voluntary system -wide water use reduction of 11 % that the
Commission adopted on May 24, 2022, by Resolution No. 22-0098, remains in effect, consistent

when the State Water Board modifies those regulations to no longer require the SFPUC to
implement at Level 1 or Level 2 of its WSCP; and
WHEREAS, The minimum annual purchase requirements that apply to certain SFPUC
wholesale water customers under Section 3.07.0 of the Water Supply Agreement will continue
to be waived until the State Water Board modifies its regulations to no longer require the SFPUC
to implement Level 2 of its WSCP implementation, because the State Water Board Regulations
were developed at the direction of the Governor in Executive Order N-7-22 and result in impacts
to water supply deliveries from the Regional Water System; and
WHEREAS, On November 12, 2021 the San Francisco Planning Department
Environmental Review Officer issued a statutory exemption determination under California
Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") Section 21080(b)(4) and CEQA Guidelines Section

The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) is submitting this
letter for your consideration of recommended changes to the Governor's
emergency drought proclamations and executive orders currently in effect.
The Governor's February 2023 Executive Order N-3-23 extended the duration
of existing emergency drought proclamations and orders and requested State
agencies to provide recommendations for what further actions, if any, are
necessary for ongoing emergency drought response, and whether any existing
provisions are no longer needed to prepare for and mitigate the effects of the
drought conditions.
Given the dramatic improvement in water supply conditions in much of
California, we recommend State emergency drought regulations be modified to
rescind requirements for Water Shortage Contingency Plan Level 2 response
actions from water suppliers with demonstrated sufficient supplies that face no
water shortages.
The SFPUC's regional system serves 2.7 million people in four Bay Area
counties. Starting in 2021, to align with the State's escalating drought
response actions, the SFPUC adopted a local declaration of drought
emergency, seeking systemwide reductions and imposing a drought surcharge
on our retail customers and water budgets on our wholesale customers. In
London N. Breed
Mayor
Newsha K. Ajaml
President
2022, we modified our local declaration to reflect the Governor's March 2022 Sophie Maxwell
Executive Order N-7-22, that among other things, directed urban water Vice President
suppliers to implement Level 2 shortage response actions. We also
conducted a major drought outreach campaign across our system and provided
extensive conservation assistance through our ongoing programs. Our
customers responded positively, and we met our systemwide 11 percent
reduction goal.
OUR MISSION: To provide our customers with high -quality, efficient, and reliable water, power and sewer
services in a manner that values environmental and community interests and sustains the resources entrusted
to our care.

We expect our regional water system to fill this year. Extremely wet conditions
since December 2022 show that hydrologically we are in good shape. Through
March 12, 2023 our Sierra precipitation index was 52.86 inches compared to
an annual average total of 36.68 inches. Similarly, our Bay Area precipitation
index was 37.44 inches compared to an annual average total of 22.80 inches.
Our reservoirs, including our Water Bank in Don Pedro Reservoir, after
snowmelt will be 100% full this year. But rain or shine, we continue to
implement a robust conservation program for our retail service area and across
our regional system through the Bay Area Water Supply and Conservation
Agency that represents our wholesale customers.
We hope you will consider our recommendation that the State's emergency
drought regulations be modified to rescind requirements for Level 2 response
actions from suppliers like the SFPUC with ample supplies, no foreseeable
water shortages, and ongoing comprehensive demand management programs.
Sincerely,
Dennis . Herrera

EXECUTIVE ORDER N-5-23
WHEREAS on April 21, 2021, May 10, 2021, July 8, 2021, and October 19,
2021, 1 proclaimed States of Emergency to exist due to drought conditions; and
WHEREAS the multi -year nature of the current drought, which began three
years after the record -setting drought of 2012-2016, continues to have
significant, immediate impacts on communities across California with vulnerable
water supplies, farms that rely on irrigation to grow food and fiber, and fish and
wildlife that rely on stream flows and cool water; and
WHEREAS the March 3, 2023, snow survey conducted by the Department
of Water Resources and partner agencies found that most regions of the Sierra
Nevada are above average for snow water content, and some regions are
nearing record amounts of snow, and snow and rain has fallen across many
regions of fhe state since then, with more precipitation forecasted: and
WHEREAS improved conditions have helped rehabilitate surface water
supplies, but have not abated the severe drought conditions that remain in
some parts of the State, including the Klamath River basin and the Colorado
River basin, and many groundwater basins throughout the State remain
depleted from overreliance and successive multi -year droughts; and
WHEREAS continued action by the State is needed to address ongoing
consequences of the drought emergency, including groundwater supply
shortages, domestic well failures, and drought -related harm to native fishes in
the Klamath River and Clear Lake watersheds; and
WHEREAS the drought emergency has required a dynamic and flexible
response from the State, and several provisions in my prior Proclamations and
Orders have been terminated or superseded already, specifically Paragraphs 4
and 8 of my State of Emergency Proclamation dated April 21, 2021, Paragraphs
2, 4, and 7 of my State of Emergency Proclamation dated May 10, 2021,
Paragraphs 3, 4, 5, 6, and 10 of my State of Emergency Proclamation dated July
8, 2021, and Paragraph 9 of Executive Order N-7-22; and
WHEREAS improved conditions warrant an even more targeted State
response to the ongoing drought emergency and certain provisions in my State
of Emergency Proclamations dated April 21, 2021, May 10, 2021, July 8, 2021,
and October 19, 2021, and in Executive Orders N-10-21, N-7-22, and N-3-23
provide authority that is no longer needed to mitigate the effects of the drought
conditions or direct actions by state agencies, departments, and boards that
have already been completed; and
WHEREAS notwithstanding the rescission of certain emergency authorities
for emergency drinking water action, state agencies have existing legal
authority and funding to continue expedited work to advance the human right
to water, and state agencies will continue all ongoing drought resilience
planning work, including through coordination with local agencies and tribes;
and
WHEREAS next winter's hydrology is uncertain and the most efficient way
to preserve the State's improved surface water supplies is for Californians to
continue their ongoing efforts to make conservation a way of life; and
WHEREAS to protect public health and safety, it is critical the State fake
certain immediate actions without undue delay to prepare for and mitigate the
effects of the drought conditions, and under Government Code section 8571, 1
find that strict compliance with various statutes and regulations specified in this
Order would prevent, hinder, or delay the mitigation of the effects of the
drought conditions.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GAVIN NEWSOM, Governor of the State of California,
in accordance with the authority vested in me by the State Constitution and
statutes, including the California Emergency Services Act, and in particular,
Government Code sections 8567, 8571, and 8627, do hereby issue the following

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: May 1, 2023
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
Date: May 1, 2023
From: Helen Yu -Scott, Finance Director — (650) 558-7222
Subject: Public Hearing and Adoption of a Resolution Approving the City of
Burlingame Master Fee Schedule for Fiscal Year 2023-24
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1) Hold a public hearing in connection with updates to the City's Master Fee Schedule, and
2) Adopt a resolution approving the Master Fee Schedule for fiscal year 2023-24.
BACKGROUND
The City Council has traditionally approved a Master Fee Schedule as part of the budget process.
Fee adjustments are not automatic; they require an annual review and approval by the City Council.
An annual review and update ensures that fees reflect current costs to provide services, allows the
addition of fees when applicable for new City services, and provides for the elimination of fees for
discontinued services.
California law gives cities the ability to impose fees for governmental services when an individual's
use of the City service is voluntary, and the fee charged is reasonable to the level of service and
the cost of providing the service. In 2018, the City adopted a User Fee Cost Recovery Policy that
established guidelines for the amount of cost recovery that is appropriate for the various services
for which a fee is charged. Staff recommendations for fees were developed in accordance with
these guidelines. The City Council reviewed the proposed fees on April 3, 2023. In compliance
with California Government Code § 66016, the Council established a public hearing for May 1,
2023 (Resolution No. 038-2023); notice of the public hearing was duly provided; and the proposed
Master Fee Schedule for fiscal year 2023-24 was posted to the City's web page at: Master Fee
Schedule.
DISCUSSION
The Central County Fire Department (CCFD) establishes fees for Fire services. As a separate JPA
that is funded by the City of Burlingame, the Town of Hillsborough, and the City of Millbrae, CCFD
fees are separately adopted by the CCFD Fire Board, usually every other year. CCFD has
historically established fees based upon the cost of providing the service. The Fire Board approved
the CCFD Master Fee Schedule for fiscal year 2023-24 on April 12, 2023.
Master Fee Schedule Fiscal Year 2023-24
May 1, 2023
Pursuant to State law, certain fees associated with development projects (to be charged by the
Community Development Department, as well as the Engineering Division of the Public Works
Department), cannot become effective until 60 days after adoption of the adjusted fees as
delineated in the attached Master Fee Schedule. All fees will be effective July 1, 2023.
FISCAL IMPACT
Changes to the City's Master Fee schedule should result in some additional revenue in the new
fiscal year. However, the actual amounts are difficult to calculate because the use of some services
is voluntary, and the volume/demand of each activity varies.

• A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Burlingame to Amend the Master Fee Schedule

RESOLUTION NO.
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURLINGAME APPROVING THE
2023-24 MASTER FEE SCHEDULE FOR CITY SERVICES
WHEREAS, the City of Burlingame regularly reviews the fees that the City charges
persons or entities for the use of City facilities, or the provision of City services; and
WHEREAS, in order to ensure that the cost of such services and facilities is borne by the
users of said services and facilities in a fair and equitable manner, the City periodically adjusts the
fees for services and facility use to ensure that the fees charged reflect the actual costs to the City
and the City's taxpayers in providing those services and facilities; and
WHEREAS, in 2015, the City conducted an update of the City's Cost Allocation Plan
(CAP) and a comprehensive review of the City's schedule of fees to ensure that the fees charged
by the City to the users of City services and facilities do not exceed the actual costs of providing
the services or facilities; and
WHEREAS, these studies have since informed the annual review of the City's fee
schedule, resulting in numerous adjustments to ensure that the City recovers the full cost of
providing services and facilities while at the same time not exceeding the cost of providing those
services and facilities; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined to keep some fees below the level of full cost
recovery to make the related services more readily available to citizens; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Government Code section 6601, on April 3, 2023, the City Council
set a public hearing for May 1, 2023, to consider the adjusted fees (Resolution No. 038-2023); and
WHEREAS, notice of the City's proposed fee schedule and of the May 1, 2023 public
hearing in connection therewith has been duly provided pursuant to the provisions of State law;
and
WHEREAS, certain fees to be charged by the Planning and Building Divisions of the
Community Development Department and the development fees to be charged by the Fire
Department and the Engineering Division of the Public Works Department cannot become
effective until sixty (60) days after adoption of this resolution, pursuant to Government Code
section 66017; and
WHEREAS, all adjusted fees as delineated in the Master Fee Schedule shall become
effective July 1, 2023; and
WHEREAS, despite every effort to ensure that all City fees for services are contained in
the 2023-24 Master Fee Schedule, there may be some existing fees provided for in the Municipal
Code, administrative procedures, or elsewhere that have been omitted from the Master Fee
Schedule, and nothing in this resolution or Council action is intended to repeal those fees nor is
this resolution or Council action intended to affect in any way any taxes or assessments of any
kind.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURLINGAME DOES
HEREBY RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
1. All of the facts and assertions recited above, in the staff report, and in supporting
documentation are true and correct, and the Council relies upon same in adopting the Master Fee
Schedule.
2. The City Council approves the 2023-24 Master Fee Schedule, attached hereto as
Exhibit A and incorporated as if fully set forth herein.
3. The 2023-24 Master Fee Schedule shall become effective on July 1, 2023.

I, Meagan Hassel -Shearer, City Clerk of the City of Burlingame, hereby certify that the

DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES (PLANNING)
Burlingame Avenue Parking In Lieu Fees are applicable only to commercial properties within
Downtown Burlingame and are collected in those instances where a land -use requires additional
parking, but the site cannot physically accommodate additional spaces. The fee is based upon a per -
space, or portion thereof that is not being provided on the property. The funds are to remain in the
City's Parking fund to help defray the cost of building a City -owned and operated parking structure.
The fees are updated annually based on the February Consumer Price Index — Urban Wage Earners
and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) for the San Francisco Area.

Honorable Mayor and City Council
To:
Date: May 1, 2023
AGENDA ITEM NO: 9b
MEETING DATE: May 1, 2023
From: Helen Yu -Scott, Finance Director — (650) 558-7222
Subject: Public Hearing and Adoption of Broadway Area Business Improvement
Assessments for Fiscal Year 2023-24
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Hold a public hearing to consider any protests to the Broadway Area BID assessments;
2. End the public hearing and ask the City Clerk to report out any protests filed with the City;
and,
3. If the protests do not represent a majority of the value of assessments, then adopt the
resolution setting the 2023-24 fiscal year assessments.
BACKGROUND
The City Council adopted a resolution of intention to set the 2023-24 fiscal year Broadway Area
BID assessments on April 3, 2023, and established May 1, 2023, at 7:00 p.m. as the public
hearing date and time. Notice of the public hearing was sent to owners of all businesses within
the district during the week of April 10tn
DISCUSSION
No changes in the boundaries, assessments, or business classifications of the business district
are proposed. If there is a protest by businesses that represent a majority of the value of the
assessments, then the resolution cannot be approved. As of the time of writing this staff report,
the City had received one protest, although protests may be presented in writing before or at the
hearing. Any and all protests must be received by the City Clerk at or before the closure of
the Dublic hearina.
FISCAL IMPACT
Up to $28,400 in assessments is collected annually with City business licenses. All of these funds
are forwarded to the Broadway Area Business Improvement District for improvements as
authorized by the BID Board of Directors. The City of Burlingame covers the expenses associated
with the renewal of the BID.

MEETING DATE: May 1, 2023
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
Date: May 1, 2023
From: Kevin Gardiner, Community Development Director — (650) 558-7253
Joseph Sanfilippo, Economic Development & Housing Specialist —
(650) 558-7264
Subject: Discussion of a Possible Community Event Street Closure Program for
Burlingame Avenue
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council discuss whether to consider a community event street
closure program for Burlingame Avenue.
BACKGROUND
In 2020, the City initiated a series of measures to facilitate safe outdoor dining in the midst of the
COVID-19 pandemic. The measures included implementing temporary street closure programs for
both Downtown Burlingame Avenue and Broadway and installing parklets on side streets in the
Downtown Burlingame Avenue area.
Subsequently, the City terminated the temporary street closure program on Burlingame Avenue
and converted to a parklet program due to concerns with overcrowding, lack of public adherence
to social distancing protocols, and complaints from businesses regarding access and parking
impacts. The City continued to allow the Broadway street closure for a number of months as there
were no complaints of large gatherings or violations of social distancing protocols, and the
Broadway Business Improvement District (BID) was supportive of the street closures.
The street closure program was popular with many residents, and when the program was
terminated, there was interest from Councilmembers in revisiting the matter once the pandemic
health orders had been lifted. The State's public health emergency ended on February 28, 2023.
DISCUSSION
On March 8, 2023, the Economic Development Subcommittee discussed revisiting street closures
in the commercial areas. Whereas the street closures piloted in 2020 were intended to offer outdoor
space for businesses that were not able to operate indoors (prior to commencement of the parklet
program), the current interest would be for the closures to serve as community events.
At the meeting, Broadway Business Improvement District (BID) President John Kevranian indicated
1
Consideration of a Street Closure Program May 1, 2023
that street closures would not be of interest for Broadway due to access issues and a larger number
of daytime service -oriented businesses that need parking for their customers.
However, there was interest from the Downtown Business Improvement District (DBID) and
Chamber of Commerce representatives in a potential multi -week closure of several blocks of
Burlingame Avenue as a pilot to coincide roughly with the Chamber's Burlingame on the Avenue
Festival taking place on August 19-20, 2023. In such a scenario, side streets would have to remain
open for cross -traffic to allow traffic circulation and assist with access.
To gauge potential interest in a street closure program, staff distributed a survey to merchants to
help determine whether they would support longer -term street closures and where those closures
should occur, if at all. The City received 45 responses to the survey. (Please refer to the staff report
attachments for bar chart summaries of the responses.)
Of the 45 responses received, four were from businesses in the 1100 block of Burlingame Avenue,
six in the 1200 block, two in the 1300 block, seven in the 1400 block, two in the 200 block of Park
Road, and 21 in other locations other than Burlingame Avenue or Park Road. (Three respondents
skipped the question)
When asked do you support long-term (multi -week) street closures, 20 respondents (48%)
indicated that they would support a closure, and 22 respondents (52%) indicated that they would
not. (Three respondents skipped the question)
When asked where do you think makes most sense for a street closure, 18 respondents indicated
all of Burlingame Avenue, two indicated the 1100 and 1200 blocks of Burlingame Avenue, six
indicated the 1200 and 1300 blocks of Burlingame Avenue, two indicated the 1300 and 1400 blocks
of Burlingame Avenue, six indicated Park Road, and 20 indicated "other" (respondents were
allowed to select more than one option). Of the 20 respondents who indicated "other," most
indicated they did not support any closures, though some suggested Primrose Road or Washington
Park.
When asked how long should long-term/seasonal event street closures be, six respondents (15%)
indicated two weeks, three (8%) indicated three weeks, 11 (28%) indicated four weeks or longer,
and 19 (49%) indicated they did not support long-term/seasonal event street closures. (Six
respondents skipped the question)
Finally, when asked should street closures be considered while parklets remain in place, 21
respondents (48%) indicated yes, and 23 (52%) indicated no. (One respondent skipped the
question)
There was also a free -form question asking respondents if they would like to provide any further
comments. Please refer to the staff report attachments for responses to this question.
It should be noted that any community event street closures in 2023 would be held while parklets
remain in place, as parklets are allowed to remain until June 30, 2024. The parklet program will
return to the Council for discussion as the June 30t" expiration date approaches.

Consideration of a Street Closure Program
May 1, 2023
FISCAL IMPACT
Fiscal impacts would be from staffing costs in setting up and breaking down the street closure, and
lost parking revenue from on -street parking spaces during the closure. The lost parking revenues
would depend on the duration of the closure and the number of blocks involved. Should there be
interest in a closure program, staff can return with costs based on Council direction.

Approved.
DISCUSSION ITEMS
Discussion of Street Closure Programs
CDD Gardiner introduced the topic, providing an overview of the community interest in street closures
and their iteration during the height of the pandemic. He mentioned that the closures were popular
during the pandemic, but there was concern that they were encouraging too much public gathering
which was at odds with public health guidance. Community members were assured that the topic of
street closures would be revisited once the pandemic had subsided.
Vice Mayor Colson asked Public Works staff for an update on the parklet program and how street
closures might interact with parklets. DDPWO Heathcote explained that since parklets are already
installed, they would not affect street closures from an operational standpoint. However, since the
previous street closure program in 2020 had some access and traffic circulation issues, he noted that
staff would want streets to only be for pedestrians (and not for restaurants to expand their operations)
so that emergency vehicles would have proper passage.
CM Goldman noted that side streets would have to remain open for cross -traffic should street
closures return to also assist with access. Broadway BID President John Kevranian noted that street
closures would not be of interest for Broadway due to access issues and a larger number of daytime
service -oriented businesses that need parking for their customers.
The Subcommittee suggested a multi -week closure of several blocks of Burlingame Avenue as a pilot
City Council Economic Development Subcommittee — Minutes March 8, 2023
(DRAFT)
to coincide roughly with the Chamber's Burlingame on the Avenue Festival taking place on August 19
20, 2023. EDS Sanfilippo will distribute a survey to merchants to help determine whether they would
support longer -term street closures and where those closures should occur, if at all.
Mayor Brownrigg suggested that an alternative to closing Burlingame Avenue would be closing Park
Road, since it is already closed multiple times a week for the Burlingame Fresh Market when in
season, and it is directly adjacent to the future Town Square.
Discussion of Parklets
The Subcommittee discussed some of the problems associated with parklets that are not well -
maintained, such as trash, rodents, drainage, etc.
Vice Mayor Colson suggested that, should parklets stay beyond June 30, 2024, there be a
requirement that parklets be taken down and rebuilt annually to prevent rodent or trash buildup. Mayor
Brownrigg requested EDS Sanfilippo to inquire with other jurisdictions how they deal with drainage
and rodent issues.
Miscellaneous Discussion
Mr. Kevranian suggested that business licenses be processed by the Planning Division so that
incompatible zoning issues for incoming business are caught sooner in the process. CM Goldman and
FD Yu -Scott noted that a contract with HdL would be presented to the City Council on March 20 that
would automate most of business license processing and flag zoning issues or otherwise prior to
completing the application.
Action Items
• EDS Sanfilippo will inquire with other jurisdictions how they regulate or control rodent
populations near outdoor dining establishments.
• EDS Sanfilippo will distribute language that the Chamber and BIDs can send to their members
reminding them to keep trash enclosures and surrounding areas clean or to schedule
additional pickups.
• EDS Sanfilippo will prepare a survey for the DBID to distribute to their members gauging their
thoughts on street closures. The survey will include a variety of configurations for the closure
and timeframes.
FUTURE AGENDA TOPICS
The April meeting will include annual meetings with the Broadway BID and the Downtown BID. The
May meeting will include an update from the Holiday Lighting committee.

1 Great way to draw people to downtown to enjoy everything there is to offer.
2 depending how often.
3 Chaos situation for parking and accessing businesses. Cars are circling around and around
looking for parking spaces while dodging pedestrians as it is. Limiting traffic flow creates an
even greater measure of unsafe setting off the Avenue. Being unsafe next to the Avenue while
being safe on the Avenue doesn't make sense. It needs to be safe to walk and drive, park
everywhere.
4 Not enough parking
5 It really depends on the duration. It really doesn't impact me that much as there will be more
foot traffic in my area.
6 Depends what the reason is
7 Loading and unloading isn't possible. No back parking lot/loafing zone at my business
8 we should do something different than other cities. and also good kids / families and

9 Attracts more pedestrians

Burlingame Downtown is a very walkabe City as it is. The vibe is electric and cars respectfully
3/30/2023 2:27 PM
go slow. My concern is not parking. I just look at closed B Street in San Mateo and I don't
think it is nearly as vibrant and active as Downtown Burlingame.
16
we are on the last block before El Camino, more customers walk up to this block when street

17
Yes, but as a business owner in Lorton, even it will affect our business negative way because ;
3/30/2023 1:29 PM
we support to close road. However you should consider closing Lorton Avenue too, because a
lot of restaurants in Lorton Avenue and good space for the seating and festival area. And multi
floor parking lot in Highland avenue is closer to the event areas too.
18
it will hurt street merchants and will attract crime.

This needs to be a discussion considering the parklets.
3/30/2023 12:55 PM
20
People have no idea how to drive! They speed up and down the Ave and a street closure would
3/30/2023 12:46 PM
be safe and community centric.
21
They kill regular traffic and costs us business from our regular patrons. They seldom bring
3/30/2023 12:32 PM
additional or new business, they are generally not from the area and only out for "free"
entertainment of walking around for the day. The caliber of events and merchants are not
suited for burlingame avenue. We all pay high rent to occupy the street and should not have to
give up our business income to accommodate someone else wanting to make money,
including other city organizations.
22
Absolutely do not support a long term or multi -week street closure. We have multiple units in
3/30/2023 12:31 PM
other downtown areas and have found a dramatic decrease in our business with street
closures.
23
The Piazza feel will bring more visitors to Burlingame Ave. More visitors means more
3/30/2023 12:30 PM
business. Do this before San Mateo dominates and takes those visitors away from us.
24
feels like it might increase foot traffic and browsing in general.

It is exciting to make downtown Burlingame a pedestrian destination point.

Harder for my take out customers & dinners to get to my business when there is street

closures. We lose business during "street closures for special events"
29
It really depends on why the streets are closed. If it creates a "mall" space for people to stroll
3/15/2023 1:55 PM
and shop, that's good. Our street is blocked with tents for the Farmers Market so we don't
open. Nobody can really see our storefront on those days.

Some of my items are to heavy to carry, resulting in lost business

Parking is already a chaotic situation, with traffic being diverted and redirected would create
4/2/2023 9:03 AM
more hazard than cars driving down the Avenue. Walking is possible already on the sidewalks
and cars with elderly and small children should be able to park close to businesses entrances.
Not all businesses have access to parking lots and the parking lots fill up fast. With the cars
circling around with attention focused on finding parking spaces or the confusion of the street
closure and the detour, they pay less attention to pedestrians. More chaos around and off the
Avenue, just to create a seemingly cheerful and happy picture on the Avenue doesn't seem
wise and safe for a long term (seasonal) solution. We could use more benches placed for the
elderly, disabled and families with kids to relax, rest and enjoy some quality time while doing
some shopping or buying food to go, like ice cream or snacks.

The street closure in the past proved to hurt our business tremendously. I hope we will not
3/30/2023 2:46 PM
have to deal with street closures any more.
10
Parklets are fantastic. Very European. Which is part of my point. I've been to European cities
3/30/2023 2:27 PM
countless times, and I have not seen any street closures. There's charm to having cars
cruising through SLOWLY and people on the sidewalks, in the parklets, the stores, the parks,
crossing the street, with musicians playing, etc. That's the thing I would encourage.
11
the 1400 block of Burlingame ave usually not busy , so closure brings more business
3/30/2023 1:55 PM
12
closures of any downtown burlingame area is a bad idea. Burlingame is not SF and not SM and
3/30/2023 1:15 PM
not SJ. Burlingame will suffer from such street closures by attracting crime and keeping our
customers away from our businesses.

1 used to be a fan of street closure but have observing the various events and experiencing the
3/30/2023 12:32 PM
closures over the years there is no real benefit. Also it is a vastly large (wide) street and in
order to fill it up so that it feels it is the scale of walking neighborhood forces you to do low
quality events due to the need to "Fill" the space.
15
Many cities seem obsessed with street closures and pedestrian only streets. These do NOT
3/30/2023 12:31 PM
benefit businesses! They actually hurt businesses! Please do not close Burlingame Ave!

23 Street closures add to an atmosphere of festivity. Don't see the need to close streets when 3/15/2023 10:25 AM
there is not an event. Street closures/pedestrian use of streets do not translate to more
business for the retailers/salons. Not sure about how restaurants and bars are effected.
