[1:45] Assistant City Manager Mandy Brown.
[1:55] » Good evening.
[1:57] Mayor, Vice Mayor, and council members,
[1:58] have a very brief town update since
[2:00] there's not a ton to report on since a
[2:02] couple weeks ago.
[2:03] Um, I did want to plug the 70th annual
[2:06] Concours d'Elegance, which will be
[2:07] taking place on June 28th, and tickets
[2:10] are available at the website below.
[2:14] Oh, and then it's the 100th anniversary
[2:16] of the Mercedes-Benz Corporation, so
[2:18] that's what they'll be highlighting this
[2:19] year.
[2:22] Thank you to everyone who attended the
[2:23] town pride event on June 9th, couple
[2:26] pictures from the day. Huge thank you to
[2:28] our youth commission for organizing the
[2:30] event and taking care of all the
[2:32] details, as well as staff from our city
[2:34] manager's office, and of course public
[2:36] works for the setup and takedown. It was
[2:38] well attended and a beautiful day, great
[2:40] speakers.
[2:43] Rethink waste summer swap. Um, this is a
[2:46] great event that they put on to um,
[2:49] discourage waste and throwing things
[2:51] away, trying to find another life for
[2:53] things, and there is
[2:54] um,
[2:55] requirements of they must be donated in
[2:57] good or fair condition, and then the
[2:59] link is available so you can see what
[3:00] items are available to swap, and that's
[3:02] on June 20th.
[3:06] Reminder about fireworks, uh, even
[3:08] though some other jurisdictions do
[3:10] permit fireworks, uh, Burlingame,
[3:12] Hillsborough, and Millbrae do not. They
[3:14] are all prohibited and illegal, um, and
[3:16] make sure to call and report if you
[3:18] think that somebody is setting off
[3:20] fireworks either leading up to the 4th
[3:22] of July or on the holiday.
[3:24] Um, on a similar note, uh, town offices,
[3:27] uh, will be closed on Friday, July 3rd
[3:29] in observance of Independence Day.
[3:34] This is long, so I'm not going to read
[3:35] all of it, and we will also plug it in
[3:37] our weekly bulletin, but just a reminder
[3:39] that the November City Council is upon
[3:41] us, um, and so our city clerk has put
[3:43] together, uh, some
[3:45] helpful resources and information on the
[3:48] nomination period and nomination papers
[3:50] and all of the logistics, and she's also
[3:52] happy to meet with anyone if there are
[3:53] any specific questions.
[3:57] And then looking forward to July, we do
[4:00] have quite a few items on that agenda,
[4:01] so it should be pretty full.
[4:04] These are just a couple highlights.
[4:05] We'll be amending the license agreement
[4:07] for the CCFD use at 1640 Floribunda,
[4:11] flock agreement amendment, continuing
[4:13] the discussion from July about the mayor
[4:16] and vice mayor appointment and rotation,
[4:18] as well as
[4:20] informational update on the town hall
[4:21] complex and the long-range financial
[4:23] funding plan.
[4:25] So, we will be looking forward to that.
[4:28] And then here is our regular slide with
[4:30] our emergency resources. Thanks.
[4:34] >> Excellent. Thank you, Mandy. Um so, now
[4:37] it's time for public comment on items
[4:39] not on the agenda, and I do have a
[4:42] formal script here for that, but there
[4:44] is no one
[4:47] I think online that has public comment
[4:49] and no one in the room.
[4:51] So,
[4:52] I will do a a briefer version.
[4:54] But, this is a time for people to give
[4:57] comment for up to 3 minutes on items
[5:00] that are not being covered tonight on
[5:03] our agenda, and I will now open public
[5:06] comment, and city clerk, do we have any
[5:08] public comments on non-agenda items?
[5:11] >> We do not. Thank you, vice mayor.
[5:12] >> Thank you.
[5:14] I will now close public comment, and the
[5:17] next item on the agenda is an
[5:19] announcement of conflict of interest. Do
[5:21] any council members here or online have
[5:24] a conflict of interest that they need to
[5:25] disclose related to any item on the
[5:27] agenda tonight?
[5:30] >> None.
[5:31] >> Thank you.
[5:32] All right. So, now we are off to one of
[5:36] our main events, a public hearing. This
[5:39] is a um
[5:41] a resolution authorizing the 5-year rate
[5:43] series for water rate charges
[5:45] the 5-year period from July 1st, 2026,
[5:49] and a resolution making findings and
[5:51] determinations regarding legal
[5:52] objections, and this hearing is being
[5:55] continued from June 8th of this year.
[5:59] So, I'm officially welcoming you to the
[6:01] town of Hillsborough's public hearing on
[6:03] proposed increases to the water rates.
[6:06] This public hearing has been continued
[6:07] from June 8th, as I said. Before
[6:10] reopening the public hearing, I would
[6:11] like to ask staff to inform the city
[6:14] council as to whether all valid legal
[6:16] objections have been responded to and
[6:18] presented to the council.
[6:21] >> Uh yes, Vice Mayor. All valid legal
[6:23] objections have been responded to, and
[6:25] all objections and staff and responses
[6:27] have been presented to the city council.
[6:29] Thank you.
[6:30] >> Thank you, and thank you for all those
[6:32] um detailed uh uh
[6:34] responses. I know you guys worked hard
[6:36] on those, and we appreciate it.
[6:38] In light of this information, I would
[6:40] like to ask that the city council adopt
[6:42] the resolution making findings and
[6:43] determinations regarding objections to
[6:46] the proposed
[6:48] water rates. Before doing so, is there
[6:51] any public comment on this item?
[6:54] Please note that this resolution does
[6:56] not adopt the rates.
[6:58] If you have a public comment on the
[7:00] proposed rate increases, you will have
[7:02] an opportunity to be heard once I open
[7:04] the public hearing.
[7:05] Are there any public comments on this
[7:07] item?
[7:09] >> No, Vice Mayor. No public comment. Thank
[7:11] you.
[7:12] >> Thank you.
[7:13] Um I will now close public comment on
[7:14] this item.
[7:16] Is there a motion to adopt the
[7:17] resolution findings and determinations
[7:20] related to the presentment of objections
[7:22] to the proposed water rates?
[7:24] >> I'll move.
[7:25] >> Second.
[7:28] >> I think we have a I think I think that
[7:30] uh Council Member Adams beat you that
[7:32] time for the second. It moved by Council
[7:34] Member Shawng, seconded by Council
[7:36] Member Adams.
[7:37] Um and uh City Clerk, may I have a roll
[7:40] call vote, please?
[7:41] >> Thank you. Adams?
[7:43] >> Yes.
[7:44] >> Thank you. Swan?
[7:46] >> Yes.
[7:46] >> Kralik is absent. Rackstell?
[7:49] >> Yes.
[7:49] >> Cole?
[7:50] >> Yes.
[7:51] >> Thank you.
[7:53] The resolution making
[7:54] findings and determinations relating to
[7:56] the proposed presentation of objections
[7:58] to the proposed water rates has passed.
[8:01] Before I open the public hearing, I
[8:03] would like to ask our city attorney,
[8:04] Christopher Diaz, to explain the
[8:06] requirements of Proposition 218
[8:09] governing this public hearing and the
[8:11] proposed rate adoption.
[8:17] » Thank you, Vice Mayor Rackstell. Um so,
[8:19] yes, um as we noted last um council
[8:22] meeting and we'll note here today as
[8:24] well, this public hearing was set in
[8:26] compliance with Proposition 218.
[8:28] The town mailed the notice of the June
[8:30] 8th public hearing to the record
[8:31] property owners subject to the
[8:32] imposition of the proposed water rates
[8:34] and tenants directly liable for the
[8:36] payment of such rates. For example, the
[8:39] customers of record who are not property
[8:40] owners were sent notices more than 45
[8:43] days prior to the date of this public
[8:44] hearing.
[8:47] At the June 8th public hearing, the city
[8:48] council continued the hearing to today's
[8:50] date and that's why we're here this
[8:51] evening.
[8:52] The purpose of the public hearing is to
[8:54] is for the city council to hear all oral
[8:55] testimony and consider all written
[8:57] protests concerning the proposed rate
[8:59] increases.
[9:00] It is also held to determine whether
[9:02] there is a majority protest to the
[9:03] proposed rates and whether to proceed
[9:05] with the adoption of the proposed rates.
[9:07] Members of the public who do not who did
[9:09] not provide testimony on June 8th are
[9:11] invited to provide oral testimony during
[9:12] tonight's public hearing.
[9:14] In addition, property owners and tenants
[9:16] may submit a written protest by hand
[9:17] delivering it to the city clerk prior to
[9:19] the close of the public hearing.
[9:21] Property owners and tenants are not
[9:22] required to provide oral testimony at
[9:24] today's hearing in order to in order for
[9:26] your written protest to be counted
[9:28] toward determining whether a majority
[9:29] protest exists.
[9:31] However, oral testimony without a
[9:32] written protest will not be counted when
[9:34] determining whether a majority protest
[9:36] exists.
[9:37] The public hearing will be closed after
[9:39] the City Council has heard and
[9:40] considered all oral testimony on these
[9:42] items.
[9:43] So, in order to be counted, protests
[9:45] must be in writing, state that you are
[9:46] protesting the proposed water rate
[9:48] increases, include the name of the
[9:49] property owner or tenant, the assessor's
[9:51] parcel number or service address, and
[9:53] signature of the person submitting the
[9:55] written protest. Any protest submitted
[9:57] by email or other electronic means will
[9:59] not be accepted as a formal written
[10:01] protest.
[10:02] All valid protests submitted to the town
[10:04] by mail or hand-delivered prior to
[10:06] today's public hearing and received by
[10:07] the City Clerk since the notice of the
[10:09] public hearing was mailed will be
[10:10] counted.
[10:12] If written protests against the proposed
[10:13] rate increases are presented by owners
[10:15] or tenants of a majority of the
[10:17] identified parcels upon which the
[10:19] proposed uh water rates are to be
[10:21] imposed, the City Council may not impose
[10:23] the rate increases. Conversely, if there
[10:26] is no majority protest, the City Council
[10:27] may impose the rate increases. Pursuant
[10:30] to state law governing Proposition 218
[10:32] in determining whether a majority
[10:33] protest exists, only one written protest
[10:36] per parcel may be counted. Thank you.
[10:39] >> Thank you, Christopher. Um I will now
[10:41] open the public hearing.
[10:43] Speakers will be given a maximum of 3
[10:45] minutes to speak. A timer will be on the
[10:47] screen. If you spoke during the June 8th
[10:50] meeting on this item, your comments have
[10:52] already been including included in the
[10:54] record. We ask only that those who did
[10:57] not already provide oral testimony on
[10:59] June 8th speak at tonight's hearing.
[11:02] After all oral testimony has been heard,
[11:05] I will close the public hearing and the
[11:06] City Clerk will tabulate the written
[11:08] protest to determine whether a majority
[11:10] protest exists.
[11:12] Please note that questions from the
[11:14] speakers will not be answered during the
[11:16] public hearing, but if necessary, staff
[11:19] will address questions after the close
[11:21] of the public hearing.
[11:23] We will now hear from anyone who wishes
[11:25] to speak. If you would like to speak in
[11:27] person, please complete a yellow speaker
[11:30] card and provide it to the City Clerk.
[11:32] And if you're on Zoom, please use the
[11:34] raise hand feature.
[11:38] City clerk, do we have any public
[11:40] comments?
[11:41] >> Thank you, Vice Mayor. We do not have
[11:44] any public comments.
[11:46] Thank you.
[11:47] >> Thank you.
[11:48] I'm prepared to close the public
[11:50] hearing. Before I do that, I would like
[11:52] to provide anyone who would like to
[11:54] submit or withdraw written protest the
[11:56] opportunity to do so.
[11:59] I don't see anyone here wanting to do
[12:01] that or anyone online trying to get our
[12:03] attention. Uh once the public hearing is
[12:05] closed, the city council may no longer
[12:07] accept any written protests on the
[12:09] proposed rate increases.
[12:12] Are there any remaining written protest
[12:14] to be delivered to the city clerk?
[12:17] I don't see anyone here to do that.
[12:20] Um
[12:21] All right, the public hearing is now
[12:23] closed.
[12:24] I now ask the city clerk to provide the
[12:26] city council with the tabulation results
[12:28] for all valid written protest submitted
[12:30] prior to the close of the public
[12:32] hearing.
[12:34] >> Thank you. Uh we received a total of 23
[12:37] valid written protest letters regarding
[12:38] the rates for the water service charges.
[12:41] A majority of the owners of the
[12:42] identified parcels or tenants directly
[12:44] liable for the charges would equal
[12:46] 2,067.
[12:48] A majority protest does not exist to the
[12:51] proposed rates.
[12:53] >> Thank you for that information.
[12:55] The city clerk has advised that based on
[12:57] the number of valid written protest
[12:59] submitted prior to the close of the
[13:00] public hearing, a majority protest does
[13:02] not exist for the adoption of the
[13:04] proposed rates for water rates.
[13:07] The city council may now proceed to
[13:08] consider the proposed resolution
[13:10] adopting maximum rates for water service
[13:12] charges and authorizing the
[13:14] implementation of revenue stabilization
[13:16] factors to the volume charge rates as
[13:18] necessary and taking other actions
[13:21] relating thereto.
[13:23] Do any members of the city council wish
[13:25] to speak or call on staff for any
[13:27] clarification with respect to the
[13:29] proposed rate increases.
[13:33] » Through the chair.
[13:34] >> Yes.
[13:35] >> Um I I just want to say that uh
[13:38] you know, the council have done quite a
[13:40] bit of a studies on the water rates. And
[13:43] um and the even though tonight we will
[13:47] be adopting the resolutions uh
[13:50] authorizing the 5-year rate series for
[13:53] water rate changes charges. Um
[13:57] every year we are subject to uh
[14:01] evaluate. And we will have an
[14:03] opportunity to discuss the rate to see
[14:05] if the revenue is sustainable uh in
[14:08] terms of supporting our operations. So,
[14:11] I just want to make that clear to the um
[14:14] our
[14:15] uh to our town residents that every year
[14:18] we will be reviewing this operations and
[14:21] the revenues to see if uh there is
[14:24] probable cause to continue to have the
[14:27] prop 218 um
[14:30] rate increases.
[14:32] >> Thank you for that.
[14:35] Councilmember Radem.
[14:36] >> Thank you.
[14:37] Uh Vice Mayor Ringstale, I I want to uh
[14:41] emphasize how important uh what uh
[14:44] Councilmember Schwang just said. And I
[14:47] want to remind people that these are
[14:48] maximum rates. So, they're not
[14:51] necessarily the rate, but they are the
[14:54] maximum that can be charged. So, I think
[14:57] your council will do its level best to
[15:00] make sure that everything as
[15:03] Councilmember Schwang said, it meets our
[15:05] financial goals, but also is fair and
[15:09] transparent for the public.
[15:12] >> Thank you. And Mayor Cole?
[15:14] >> Yes, and I would just like to thank my
[15:16] colleagues on the dais this afternoon
[15:18] for clarifying those two important
[15:20] issues.
[15:21] And also further emphasizing
[15:24] that
[15:25] it's it's revenue stabilization effort
[15:29] on the way because there are other
[15:31] parameters that are changing
[15:33] which includes the cost of purchase of
[15:35] water
[15:37] as well as
[15:38] replacing aging infrastructures
[15:41] as well as addressing um
[15:45] recent rulings that are conflicted in
[15:47] terms of where we should be which
[15:49] direction we should be moving and I I
[15:51] think I'm Councilmember Truong
[15:53] um hit the nail on the head.
[15:56] This is something that will be assessed
[15:58] on an annual basis going forward.
[16:01] And I know some residents have reached
[16:02] out to me personally and expressed
[16:05] concern that they are making tremendous
[16:08] effort to conserve water and they were
[16:10] concerned that the rates are going up.
[16:13] Um unfortunately, you still need to
[16:14] project out your revenue to make sure
[16:17] you can fund your water system. So, as
[16:20] the as people become really good at
[16:22] conserving water and other parameters
[16:24] are changing such as the cost of water
[16:26] because of climate and
[16:28] how much snow we have etc. etc. and
[16:31] replacing aging infrastructure.
[16:33] The shift in that cost continues and
[16:35] it's beyond our control. So, those are
[16:38] some of the parameters that's moving
[16:40] this number. And I I think the the
[16:42] bottom line is this is something that
[16:44] will be reevaluated annually.
[16:47] And the residents need to be reassured
[16:49] that this is something that is critical
[16:52] in terms of just
[16:55] the basic um operation of the town and
[16:58] the council and especially the staff the
[17:01] finance staff keep a very close eye on
[17:03] this.
[17:04] So, thank you very much to the staff
[17:06] that have worked on this for the past
[17:08] several years.
[17:10] I know it's been quite challenging at
[17:11] times.
[17:12] Much appreciated.
[17:14] >> Thank you, Mayor Collins. Thanks to
[17:15] Olive E you those clarifications. I
[17:17] think it's very important to point out
[17:19] these are maximum rates. A lot of study
[17:22] went into them, but we're we're not done
[17:24] and we do reevaluate every year. And um
[17:28] uh
[17:29] we we do our best.
[17:31] Thank you. Um now, is there a motion to
[17:34] adopt the resolution adopting maximum
[17:37] rates for water service charges and
[17:39] authorizing the implementation of
[17:41] revenue stabilization factors to the
[17:43] volume charge rates as necessary and
[17:46] taking other actions relating thereto.
[17:51] So moved, Councilmember Schwang. Does
[17:53] the motion have a second?
[18:00] » Yes. I'd like to second it.
[18:02] >> I'm sorry. I was going to say something,
[18:03] but I couldn't hear what Councilmember
[18:05] Adams was
[18:07] >> Yes.
[18:07] >> going to say. I figured she'd second it,
[18:09] but certainly.
[18:10] >> Everyone was waiting to give someone
[18:11] else a turn. You guys are so nice. Um I
[18:14] second it by Councilmember Adams.
[18:16] Um and any further discussion?
[18:21] Seeing none, uh City Clerk, may have a
[18:23] roll call vote, please.
[18:24] >> Thank you. Adams?
[18:27] >> Yes.
[18:27] >> Schwang?
[18:29] Kralik is absent. Ragsdale?
[18:31] >> Yes.
[18:31] >> Cole?
[18:32] >> Yes.
[18:34] >> Thank you.
[18:36] And uh
[18:37] thank you to everyone who put so much
[18:39] work into um into these complicated
[18:42] rates.

[18:46] resolution approving amendment number
[18:48] three to the employment agreement for
[18:50] our City Manager, Doug Davis, relating
[18:52] to a compensation adjustment, and it
[18:55] will be presented by City Attorney,
[18:57] Christopher Diaz.

[19:02] Attorney, here to present uh the agenda
[19:04] item for the City Manager's compensation
[19:06] adjustment. As you know, you've uh just
[19:08] concluded a positive performance
[19:10] evaluation for your City Manager.
[19:12] Um at the conclusion of that, there was
[19:14] a negotiation on a compensation
[19:16] increase, and so that is reflected in
[19:18] the amendment number three that's in
[19:19] your packet this evening.
[19:21] Uh for Brown Act purposes, do we need we
[19:23] do need to disclose the new compensation
[19:25] amount, and so just wanted to note that
[19:27] for the record. The new compensation
[19:29] amount included in amendment number
[19:30] three is to bring uh the city manager
[19:32] salary to $371,614.00.
[19:37] Um and I'm happy to answer any questions
[19:38] that the city council may have about the
[19:40] amendment.
[19:41] Thank you.

[22:57] Unanimous vote. Um thank you
[22:59] for presenting that to us, William.
[23:02] Um the next item on the agenda is City
[23:06] Council items. Does anybody have any uh
[23:09] anything that they would like to report?
[23:12] Council member Shaw?
[23:13] >> Just really briefly, I came from uh One
[23:16] Shoreline meeting uh this afternoon and
[23:18] I want to report that the board adopted
[23:22] the One Shoreline work plan,
[23:25] flood zones budget, operating budget,
[23:28] and capital
[23:30] uh projects budget. Um one of the things
[23:33] that I want to highlight is that um
[23:35] we also adopted a resolution to accept a
[23:39] grant of 9,620
[23:43] uh sorry, 962,500
[23:47] um
[23:47] from the San Francisco Bay Restoration
[23:51] Authority to for the planning and design
[23:54] of the Brisbane Liv- Living Shoreline
[23:57] project. And I the reason that I want to
[24:00] highlight that is because we all drive
[24:02] on 101. And if you see the freeway um on
[24:06] the shores, you will see the roads are
[24:09] uh the bank is uh eroding to the oceans.
[24:13] So, this is why um
[24:15] all these projects from the One
[24:16] Shorelines are critical to all of us,
[24:19] even though Hillsborough sits on the
[24:21] hill. Um we all drive on 101, and so it
[24:26] is critical that we have those repair
[24:28] and um
[24:30] uh it does impact all of us. So, I want
[24:33] to thank Hillsborough, my council
[24:35] colleague, who continue to support
[24:37] membership uh to the One Shoreline, and
[24:41] I continue to um
[24:43] want to um applaud One Shoreline for
[24:46] doing all these critical projects. Thank
[24:48] you.
[24:50] >> Thank you for that. Uh that is a is very
[24:53] important. We are so interconnected here
[24:55] in all of San Mateo County, and uh we
[24:58] really appreciate your work on that on
[25:00] that board. Thank you. And anyone else
[25:02] have a an item to report?
[25:06] I also don't, so if there's nothing
[25:09] else, we are adjourned.
[25:12] >> Great.
[25:13] Thank you.
[25:15] Excellent.
