Mills Act / historic-preservation concerns:
- Speaker Andrew Ryan and others said the city is providing large property-tax subsidies via Mills Act contracts and alleged the assessor records show the City is subsidizing two homeowners by about $52,000 per year. The speakers said the planning department had not produced evidence of contractually mandated inspections and asked that the city cancel or curtail the Rincon contract and stop expanding the historic resources program until enforcement and tracking are improved.
- Frank Elliott urged caution about the proposed local historic resources project (Rincon contract) and questioned whether the advertised $330,000 (speaker referenced a $500,000 figure that was corrected in rebuttal) scope justifies downstream staff and enforcement costs. He asked the council to reexamine or pause the project if it increases workload without clear return on investment.
- Rick Bonilla and others asked the city to investigate and publicly report findings quickly if administrative lapses have occurred.
- Laurie Hueter, speaking in rebuttal, said historic preservation is a long-standing commitment required by the general plan and federal/state programs and defended moving forward; she noted the actual contract price was $330,000 including contingency and that the initiative addresses long-unmet general-plan goals.

Marina branch library interim-service concerns:
- Speaker Andrew Reback asked the council to provide interim library services for Parkside residents while the Marina branch is closed for renovation for 18 months. He said the closure leaves youth, seniors and families without nearby access to computers, Wi-Fi, after-school programs and maker equipment, and that no budget had been set aside for temporary or scaled-back services.
- Reback suggested pop-up libraries, mobile units, or short-term leased retail spaces near the branch to provide a basic level of service during the renovation, and urged the city to coordinate with local landlords and businesses to secure interim space.

Council response and status:
- Councilors and staff heard the concerns. A number of speakers asked for follow-up, investigations or further details; staff and council did not adopt immediate policy changes during this meeting. Council members and the public asked staff to provide clearer budget and enforcement detail on the historic-preservation project and to consider interim library options for the Parkside neighborhood.

Speakers (attributed to meeting record): Andrew Ryan, Frank Elliott, Rick Bonilla, Laurie Hueter, Andrew Reback, and other members of the public. No formal council action was taken on these matters during the meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City Council Regular Meeting 5/19/25","oneSentenceSummary","Several residents urged the council to investigate Mills Act contracts and to seek interim library services for the Marina branch during an 18-month closure; speakers asked for enforcement, transparency and short-term interim library options in the Parkside area.","taxTitle","San Mateo City, San Mateo County, California","taxId",3865,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6642015,"Council signals support for three-year Samaritan House agreement to operate Worker Resource Center",766,7140000,7906000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3396516-c34bf72d7f54aefb36d7c46e40d49838&start=7140&end=7906","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3396516-c34bf72d7f54aefb36d7c46e40d49838/thumbnail_7140000.jpg","/articles/6642015/San-Mateo-City/San-Mateo-County/California/Council-signals-support-for-three-year-Samaritan-House-agreement-to-operate-Worker-Resource-Center","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6642015-837172288e35bf11798f54f0c029b313/orig.mp4?Expires=1770440184&Signature=cPEHQSWOk0hVfUt2E1mA8dzCnnSBR0H~mEE8J4jUCJVs2mk0dnIKzqciGkp2NbpMq6BMR44GMELfiiSzaZChZsuO~OR8kOvAqUWdObQo59-BYJWoJOZ6OkM-yPghMgHZVeJYbrM887-hikpO8~MCWk3LWy7ooSmagCZ1YPMKdT8G1NpGzWLrRz8Oe~gM3wmT-PeeepEqjjkC1-HsMZHbl8yCS7S3-l-0zD2y2tqAM3YsCeokmpZBomXreQEoB0vMBagNpCDC8rFR5n3dGmh5VLuoYX9zh8qbYE1lPv0WrUj7qLe4kRm7DawhKReyTEy5wikJGHs2eHaaTHm3DcUtVQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The San Mateo City Council indicated unanimous support to direct staff to draft a three-year operations agreement with Samaritan House for the Worker Resource Center (WRC) and to pursue renewal of a three-year lease for the center\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000 at 171 North Amphlett Boulevard. Council did not take a formal roll-call vote; staff recorded a unanimous verbal direction and will return with agreement and lease documents for formal approval.

Why it matters: The Worker Resource Center provides day-labor matching, meals, referrals and wraparound services to predominantly North Central neighborhood residents. Renewal secures an operating contract and facility for an organization that has provided continuous services for more than two decades.

What staff and Samaritan House told the council:
- Reyna Sandoval, Director of Food and Community Programs at Samaritan House, described the center\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000's operations: open six days a week, phone coverage for after-hours requests and an on-site raffle system for day labor assignments. Reyna said the center provides meals (her presentation tracked 14,816 meals year-to-date), clothing and supplies, volunteer-led ESL classes, legal immigration assistance, and employer evaluation systems to protect workers' rights and employer expectations.
- Reyna described job types provided through the center: landscaping, moving, painting, carpentry, event staffing and other skilled and unskilled work. She emphasized partnerships with local groups including Silicon Valley Bike Coalition (bike donations and helmets), Koshland Foundation, neighborhood faith groups and local businesses that hire WRC workers.
- City staff (Housing and Neighborhood Services) framed the request as both an operations contract and a lease matter: the current lease for 171 North Amphlett will expire in August, and staff asked for direction on pursuing a three-year contract at $195,000 annually and negotiating a lease renewal. Staff said they would return with draft contract and lease documents for Council approval.

Council discussion and direction:
- Council members praised the center's work and encouraged continued outreach to workers who remain on sidewalks rather than coming into the center. One council member asked staff to consider signage and improved outreach to redirect people to the center. Several members expressed explicit support for the three-year term and the proposed $195,000 annual operations budget; Reyna said, \"I would like to stay where we're currently at.\" (quote from meeting.)
- Council asked staff to continue exploring alternatives but indicated a preference to retain the center in its existing location if possible, given the center\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000's bike and storage needs and routine foot traffic patterns.

Next steps: Staff will draft a three-year operating agreement and a three-year lease renewal negotiation and return to Council for formal approval. Staff also noted opportunities for future partnerships (for example, downtown cleanups) and asked for continued coordination on outreach to reduce sidewalk congregation and related neighborhood concerns.

Speakers (attributed to meeting record): Reyna Sandoval (Samaritan House), Rachel Horst and Van Diggins (City Housing staff), Council members (Mayor Robert Newsom Jr., Council members Fernandez, Verkogodicki, Diaz Nash and Deputy Mayor Lorraine).

Key points from the DSMA presentation:
- Executive Director Mackenzie Jakobek said it has been \"a rewarding second year\" and highlighted programming, marketing and merchant services that the DSMA provides. She cited a Placer.ai metric showing a roughly 19% increase in foot traffic to the B Street pedestrian mall compared with the prior year and a 121% increase compared with two years prior.
- DSMA said about 20% of downtown businesses are food and drink establishments and described a suite of events (large-scale and pop-ups) intended to drive customers to merchants.
- The DSMA reported revenue for FY 2024\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000and expense priorities (payroll/admin, cleaning, marketing and events) and noted a reserve balance the director and council discussed in questions.

Public comment and council discussion:
- Multiple downtown business owners and volunteers spoke in favor of the DSMA, describing increased visibility, event participation, and direct referrals to businesses. Speakers included Kathy Levitt (Tri Counties Bank), Amy Lee (volunteer), Robert Anderson (DSMA board member), Erica Wood (CEO, San Mateo Area Chamber of Commerce), Laurie Morales (merchant, DSMA board member), and Rick Bonilla (council supporter). Robert Anderson and others praised the partnership between DSMA and city departments such as Public Works and the Police Department.
- Council members praised the partnership and suggested priorities for the DSMA board, including exploring strategic use of a reported reserve (council-member discussion referenced a $240,000 reserve) and considering cost-of-living adjustments for DSMA staff pay.
- Council members also encouraged continued outreach to expand events beyond the central pedestrian mall (for example, North B Street) and to diversify programming to attract teens and seniors.

Action taken: Council adopted the resolution levying DBIA assessments for FY 2025\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000'6 on a 5-0 vote and directed staff and the DSMA to continue coordination on events, cleaning, and downtown programming.

What happens next: The DSMA will continue programming and pursue a financial sustainability plan; the DSMA board and staff will follow up on council suggestions about reserve use and staff compensation as part of their planning.

The roll call on the consent motion recorded all five council members as voting yes. The CDBG action to adopt the annual action plan and submit it to HUD also passed on a 5-0 roll call.

Why it matters: The consent calendar bundled routine administrative items for single-vote approval, and the CDBG action commits federal funds and local carryover to programs that serve low- and moderate-income residents. Actions approved include funding for public services, minor home repair, economic development support and public facilities improvements across San Mateo.

What the council approved under the consent calendar (items noted on the meeting agenda):
- Item 5: City council meeting minutes approval (no comment in meeting record).
- Item 6: LGBTQIA+ progress pride flag display at City Hall adoption.
- Item 7: Final parcel map approval for 29 Bay 3 Way and 20 Second Desabla Road.
- Item 8: Metropolitan Transportation Commission transit-oriented communities policy grant adoption.
- Item 9: Fleet maintenance services agreement.
- Item 10: Wastewater Treatment Plant digester second coating project agreement.
- Item 11: East San Mateo sanitary sewer lift station rehabilitation project amendment.
- Item 12: On-call professional consultant services agreement amendment.
- Item 13: 2025 annual investment policy approval.
- Item 14: Citywide curb painting, AB 413 red zones/markings/delineators and striping services amendment (contract to support AB 413 daylighting compliance).
- Item 15: 2000 South Delaware affordable housing development agreements.
- Item 16: Investment advisory services agreement.

Notable public comment tied to consent items: Allison McQueen urged prioritizing daylighting work required under AB 413 around schools \"first this summer before school begins in mid August\" so students start the year with improved curb visibility and red curbing near schools. The speaker asked the city to coordinate messaging with school districts and PTAs so the safety improvements are reinforced at the beginning of the school year.
