Both items passed unanimously after council discussion and public comment.

A public commenter, Rose Aguilar, asked the council to pull item 4 from consent to make a statement in favor of inclusionary and mixed-income housing, arguing the 40 market-rate homes \"will not serve current Hayward residents\" and urging the city to require affordable units or mixed-income zoning. \"This development will not serve current Hayward residents,\" Aguilar said during public comment on the consent calendar. Council member Goldstein responded by highlighting nearby affordable projects, saying a 100% affordable development called Pimentel Place is coming online a few blocks away and arguing that the city is balancing market-rate and affordable production.

Separately, the council pulled and considered item 2—street paving and related transportation work—after a public commenter, Robert Stevens, praised the paving project and urged transparency and community engagement around proposed changes on Hayward Boulevard. \"We're paving our streets ... We're improving our transportation infrastructure. Awesome,\" Stevens said, and he asked staff to continue outreach. Council members said further refinement and community meetings remain part of the process. The item was moved by Council member Roach, seconded by Council member Andrews, and approved unanimously.

On item 4 the final map was moved by Council member Goldstein and seconded by Council member Sarah; the clerk recorded the motion and the item passed without objection. Council members also noted the development site has been an empty lot that attracts illegal dumping and argued housing could activate the block and improve safety.

Both consent approvals were recorded by roll call and are reflected in the official minutes. Council indicated they expect ongoing community engagement for the Hayward Boulevard project and said council and staff should continue evaluating inclusionary housing options and strategic planning that could increase affordable units in future developments.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Hayward City Council Meeting February 25, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Council approved a final map for a 40-unit single-family development and unanimously approved a separate street-paving/transportation project that includes potential changes to Hayward Boulevard after public comment supporting inclusionary housing and transparency on design.","taxTitle","Hayward City, Alameda County, California","taxId",2907,"location","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6661897,"Hayward approves midyear budget changes, including one-year $1 million for Saint Rose Hospital",2822,4380000,7202000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2404971-3561cc3030390a6f0bab854898ca2a13&start=4380&end=7202","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2404971-3561cc3030390a6f0bab854898ca2a13/thumbnail_4380000.jpg","/articles/6661897/Hayward-City/Alameda-County/California/Hayward-approves-midyear-budget-changes-including-one-year-1-million-for-Saint-Rose-Hospital","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6661897-be65020de83497a887382c2381111a5a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771181519&Signature=SMpPhkwqjs0pBLbMTjAA~b65Q~IdKmCbOUo9KgXjqBw-l7Z7uIxIEkuqiP4kjJp-UyWehqzvFGFUWGv18szAHj~t7Ah0HZLYczp3z-z-AvQLxcy3UXOPGwOGrLzvOy8cjHYHdGh8RhlWwiip3KwnBLUNK1kwSxV2cgMfvYSOSbJbqkiaCDvWtoWcKFAjo~KaPuzeiKlQ0SO4LtvtP2~SZu7JG02829eC7Zw2BPNv4X9N1NNwADovql3HFSQp0c94TMUadx3u6XB6xOmz8CJIoFbiQN65TTQCWMPpaM32if-NaBMkFpGtIfm1plzVhmcdGWwrTLnQmQhdNuhRrMAUQw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Hayward City Council on Feb. 25 adopted midyear amendments to the fiscal year 2024–25 budget that city staff said bring the general fund nearly into balance and preserve core services. As part of the package, the council voted unanimously to provide a one-year $1,000,000 contribution to Saint Rose Hospital as the hospital transitions under Alameda Health System, council members and presenters said.

Assistant City Manager Dustin Claussen presented the midyear report and a five-year general fund forecast, saying staff had used a mix of revenue adjustments, one-time ARPA transfers and expenditure controls to reduce the previously forecast use of reserves. \"When we adopted the fiscal year 24–25 budget, we were showing use of $1,800,000 ... with these adjustments this evening, we will be getting to just a smidge over balanced, and in the black,\" Claussen told the council.

Claussen outlined a number of midyear adjustments: a reported increase to revenue driven in part by a transfer from ARPA funds, operating expenditure growth tied to contracts and previously committed costs, and a projected $3,400,000 savings from a fourth-quarter hiring deferral. The staff packet also identifies items such as outside inspection and plan-check fees and an unplanned ladder-truck repair among the midyear increases to expenditures.

On the hospital request, Mark Fratzke, chief operating officer for Alameda Health System, and Mark Friedman, CEO of Eden Health District, described steps taken since Alameda Health assumed operations and how public and private contributions are being coordinated. Fratzke said the hospital had opened a 29-bed subacute unit and was pursuing licensure and other program expansions. \"Our new subacute unit, it's 29 beds, is opening ... We expect it to be full,\" Fratzke said.

Supervisor Alisa Marquez said county support and matching mechanisms amplify the city contribution. She urged continued outreach to state and other partners for additional funds and said the expected IGT match multiplies local contributions. Council members asked questions about contingency planning, the sustainability plan for Saint Rose and whether the one-year city allocation signaled a multi-year commitment; staff clarified the council action authorized one year of funding and that future annual allocations would require separate council action.

Council member Bonilla Jr. moved the midyear budget resolutions; Mayor Salinas seconded. The council voted by roll call and approved the midyear operating and capital amendments and the $1,000,000 one-year contribution to Saint Rose unanimously.

Staff said they will continue to refine the five-year forecast, pursue federal and state grants, and work with Alameda Health System and other partners on the hospital's financial sustainability.","Council adopted midyear amendments to the FY 2024–25 budget that staff said move the general fund to near balance and included a one-year $1 million appropriation to support Saint Rose Hospital; the vote was unanimous.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6661903,"Hayward council authorizes up to $135 million in wastewater revenue bonds to fund plant upgrades",1852,907000,2759000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2404971-3561cc3030390a6f0bab854898ca2a13&start=907&end=2759","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2404971-3561cc3030390a6f0bab854898ca2a13/thumbnail_907000.jpg","/articles/6661903/Hayward-City/Alameda-County/California/Hayward-council-authorizes-up-to-135-million-in-wastewater-revenue-bonds-to-fund-plant-upgrades","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6661903-d63a14a8635c4a4c4e0e2b7e7549affb/orig.mp4?Expires=1771181519&Signature=O6WlbsHokY8r3XvQbqJmUaRoUkvat0Vp~B5mR2pghjjl6ENa7hRsSnVd50ft3tu28nZ5h7Vr0yX9YBSwueIwtGIZ4RgpZDhHU4DQ5foKhrehaf~XoLydEkbEUMlqGsRqt5Hk01ZzrqCfqNF~EWQFBRjXIZ0p9-gdP8P7xQp7-asgIoeCggN6N6p3cUxQe8tqt8XLbB~tFz4U-BFVjTPPKDR5IN0Utj1yCpyC3tDRaupT5SW1Ysjj9ZxQYQjK0LaFM0KKTHg3k~733knOJ~RWQXwTqjPz1iyDIBx69iMV3-7VccCJnsY5LVG3a-tCF8Ha3n-tvo2S-ZJUeI14Na75KA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Hayward City Council on Feb. 25 authorized city staff to issue 2025 wastewater revenue bonds with a not-to-exceed par amount of $135,000,000 to help finance major upgrades at the city's Water Resources Recovery Facility.

City staff said the projects are necessary to meet newly adopted nutrient-reduction requirements and will be financed through a mix of WIFIA loan proceeds, the 2025 bonds, and a planned 2027 bond series. The council approved the bond authorization unanimously.

The council heard a presentation from Christian Sprunger, vice president of NHA Advisors, who described the 2025 bonds as funding roughly 26% of the total project costs. \"Tonight's item is specific to the ... 2025 bonds. We're seeking authorization to issue the 2025 bonds to provide approximately 26% of the required project costs,\" Sprunger said during the presentation. Sprunger and the city's financing team said the bonds are planned as a 30-year, fixed-rate issue with a standard 10-year par call and an anticipated annual combined principal-and-interest debt service of about $9,100,000.

Dr. Murray, a city staff presenter who summarized the regulatory drivers, told the council why the plant upgrades are required. \"The water board, the San Francisco Regional Water Board, has been for a while concerned about the amount of nutrients that remains in treated wastewater,\" Dr. Murray said, noting the board's watershed permit adopted in July 2024 and the city estimate that the required improvements could cost about $498,000,000.

Under the financing plan presented, the city expects to pair the 2025 revenue bonds with a U.S. EPA WIFIA loan that could finance up to 49% of eligible project costs and with a second bond issue currently planned for 2027. Sprunger said the resolution before council sets a not-to-exceed par amount of $135,000,000 and a not-to-exceed true interest cost of 5.25% to allow flexibility on the day of sale. He added the underwriting method will be a competitive sale, and that final interest rates will be fixed only on the morning the bonds are sold.

Council members questioned staff about the timing and alternatives. Sprunger described market comparables and current pricing expectations, saying recent comparables put likely pricing in the mid-4% range and explaining that the not-to-exceed TIC of 5.25% provides a margin for market movement between authorization and sale.

The council vote followed a roll call; the clerk recorded the motion as moved by Council member Sirimano and seconded by Council member Andrews. The resolution passed unanimously.

Next steps outlined by staff: marketing and targeting a bond sale in mid-March with closing in late March, and returning to the council in early April for WIFIA loan consideration if negotiations complete as expected.","Council voted unanimously to authorize the issuance of 2025 wastewater revenue bonds, part of a financing plan to pay for an estimated $498 million of improvements at the city's Water Resources Recovery Facility, staff and consultants said.","actionData","errors"]
