The proclamation was presented to representatives from Spectrum Community Services and SOS Meals on Wheels.

In his reading of the proclamation, Salinas noted that the observance celebrates years of service by senior nutrition programs and cited data included in the proclamation: that in 2024 SOS Meals on Wheels delivered 92,566 meals to 533 Hayward seniors and that Spectrum Community Services served 30,574 meals. Blake Spears, president of the SOS Meals on Wheels board, thanked the council and described Hayward as one of the program’s earliest and largest partners. \"We really do appreciate all of your support,\" Spears told the council.

Carol Mahart, development director at Spectrum Community Services, told the council Spectrum’s goal is \"to make sure that no senior in Alameda County has to wait for a meal,\" and said Spectrum currently has no wait list but warned that rising costs and stagnant funding could change that. Mahart encouraged continued advocacy for senior nutrition funding and asked residents to consider volunteering or donating.

Council members who participated earlier in the month’s March for Meals activities described visiting routes and meal sites and praised staff and volunteers for the program’s role in keeping seniors connected.

The proclamation was ceremonial; no council vote was required.","Mayor Mark Salinas presented a proclamation recognizing Spectrum Community Services and SOS Meals on Wheels for senior nutrition work in Hayward and applauded volunteers and program staff.",{"_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},6623089,"Hayward Police Department earns CALEA reaccreditation, city leaders say",207,1103000,1310000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2777031-88801d43808e4752ef2733a11908e413&start=1103&end=1310","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2777031-88801d43808e4752ef2733a11908e413/thumbnail_1103000.jpg","/articles/6623089/Hayward-City/Alameda-County/California/Hayward-Police-Department-earns-CALEA-reaccreditation-city-leaders-say","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6623089-58ef6b10f180bc22f0d37b74cd462ae9/orig.mp4?Expires=1776045190&Signature=SKpBPj9adad51zLCbrRO~BA68~RkOA5M9ppVsYbmIlGEpnUISjLn21kfLRASh5ug4BuG9lComfnMuPZYuWiUJMyP~cT~qatHfP8veFnYI8UrglXJIt47drMOt1AEoijGT3ng13ZDKZGB-36ZVRp6Cebzdq7Wv8aXvq6U44FV2hHfhQSSMLBu-BV1VMhCvU3OlkRrQphUAeocwuZzQgDNn2ij5L52SbAX1QD6ObNbau-pkcjOhTSWq4-1vpRLnBGqIrZlb91hlVF4inv7hWHnpUlE59VynW8g5BY~SHkjo4fHF7VjKOJcQIQvFmHxo46RcpUbZ-iRgZszWL2lMt2Sdg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City Manager Dr. Ana Alvarez told the Hayward City Council on March 20 that the Hayward Police Department successfully completed a four-year accreditation cycle with the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA).

Alvarez said the assessment and final public hearing took place in Garden Grove, where CALEA commissioners voted unanimously to re-accredit the department. \"Accreditation through CALEA is a voluntary process ... and offers recommendations for operational and organizational improvements,\" Alvarez said in her remarks, describing CALEA as \"widely recognized as the gold standard in public safety.\"

Alvarez told the council that about 18,000 law enforcement agencies operate in the United States and roughly 5% are CALEA-accredited; she said 14 California agencies currently hold CALEA accreditation and this is the fifth CALEA accreditation and reaccreditation for the Hayward Police Department. Mayor Mark Salinas and Chief Brian Matthews participated in the commission review and the council offered congratulations to chief and command staff.

No formal council action was required; the announcement was included as part of the city manager’s report.","City Manager Ana Alvarez announced Hayward Police Department completed a four-year CALEA accreditation cycle and commissioners voted unanimously to reaccredit the department; city officials praised the milestone.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6623097,"Hayward reviews 2024 annual progress report for Hayward 2040 general plan",255,1536000,1791000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2777031-88801d43808e4752ef2733a11908e413&start=1536&end=1791","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2777031-88801d43808e4752ef2733a11908e413/thumbnail_1536000.jpg","/articles/6623097/Hayward-City/Alameda-County/California/Hayward-reviews-2024-annual-progress-report-for-Hayward-2040-general-plan","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6623097-bfc8b86dcc0d6a54260585864f0d904b/orig.mp4?Expires=1776045190&Signature=W14cAn1qhdIE~5aCSZthNy9tdp40dyVbYQghERoBs~vImgkLH8HbDNbKvf0RvcSVlwtYdq~SV8I1KJoo~hgcPLrSmCx1179WWaE28FI~2Bki6Z9xgw-5v5ok0~rEf1RAMcPu46A8wVh8IJcjRuqz53PgIlYe4uJzSnbAJqTqLlZIvMLrSIMWT8jdDZOPDxgsKAQZbDEfYoIUziCglPKfVAX-4U0SxjTezFYJny7Iz2~kag2X~ZNiPxnOBT3y72F35tZd7GuYaIjS2Tcng0mFyArAJGPzli80zslqDUbICWPwR1mw9gc4iwb7YWkO1-BhCpHjFlYITaUE412Vw1~YaA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Hayward City Council received an informational presentation on the 2024 Hayward 2040 general plan annual progress report at its March 20 meeting. Development Services Director Sarah Bowser presented the report, accompanied by Senior Planner Leah Schmidt, and told the council staff will submit the annual report and the housing-related annual progress report to the Office of Planning and Research and the California Department of Housing and Community Development before the April 1 deadline.

Bowser said the general plan and its implementation plan, adopted in 2014 as the Hayward 2040 general plan, now includes 433 programs across elements and implementation tables. She told the council that roughly 300 of those programs were adopted as part of recent updates to the housing element (2023) and the climate action plan and related amendments (2024). Bowser said about 10% of programs are marked complete, roughly half are listed as partially complete, about 24% are ongoing and about 35% have not yet been started; she explained that some programs have multiple components and that \"partially complete\" can include projects with parts finished while other parts remain active.

The presentation prompted questions from multiple council members about priorities and implementation. Council Member Roach urged the city to accelerate urban-forest and heat-island mitigation work, citing recent research on heat impacts on older residents. \"I would really like to see us try to sort of bump up some of that work,\" Roach said. Bowser acknowledged the climate action plan measures are a heavy lift for staff and noted many of the new programs from the 2024 updates relate to greenhouse gas reductions and heat mitigation.

Roach also asked how school safety goals in the general plan are affected by the absence of a school-resource-officer program. Hayward Police Chief Brian Matthews responded that the Police Department continues \"collaboration with HUSD on safety issues, including a sergeant who we have assigned as a liaison with the school district,\" and that the department reviews school safety plans and provides training and coordination.

Council members raised housing-related questions. Resident Rose Aguilar addressed the council during public comment and asked whether the housing element’s policies—particularly inclusionary housing measures—are adequate to meet the city’s RHNA allocations for low-income housing. Bowser said the housing element is updated on a state-mandated schedule and that the city is preparing for future housing updates; she also noted that market conditions and financing, not only local regulations, affect housing production.

Other topics during the discussion included crime-prevention-through-environmental-design (CPTED) review practices for development proposals, white-glove services for large commercial or industrial applicants to coordinate permitting across departments, and the absence of a city-wide public-art impact fee in the general plan. Leah Schmidt said the community safety element contains a CPTED checklist program (CS-3) under which planning routes development proposals to police crime-prevention coordinators for written recommendations.

Council members asked how the general plan and the council’s annual strategic roadmap should interact. Bowser and staff said the general plan is a 20-year guiding document while the strategic roadmap sets nearer-term priorities; staff recommended using the roadmap to direct which general-plan programs the council expects staff to prioritize.

No council action was required on the item. Bowser closed by reminding the council that staff will file the annual report and the housing-related progress report with the state before the April 1 deadline.","Council heard an informational update on the Hayward 2040 general plan’s 2024 annual progress report, including program status, recent housing and climate updates, and council questions about urban canopy, school safety and housing implementation.","actionData","errors"]
