The warning came as the city promoted a series of July events, including its second annual July 4 celebration at Central Park.

‘‘In Millbrae, all fireworks are illegal, even a safe and sane variety,’’ Eamon Allen, bureau chief for the City of Millbrae, told the council and attendees. Allen said the sheriff’s office and other jurisdictional law‑enforcement partners take a ‘‘zero tolerance’’ approach to enforcement and that possession or use of fireworks may result in fines up to $1,000; he emphasized the safety risks and past property damage from fireworks.

City Manager Tom Williams and staff described the July 4 event at Central Park as beginning at 11:30 a.m. and running through about 3:30 p.m., featuring two bands (As Is at noon and Pure Ecstasy at 2 p.m.), food trucks, games, activities for children and CERT support for water and shade. The Recreation Department also announced an outdoor movie night on July 11 (Finding Nemo at about 8:30 p.m.) and other summer programming.

Williams and Chief Allen urged residents to attend sanctioned fireworks displays outside the city and to report illegal fireworks. Allen cited a recent Millbrae residential fire caused by improperly disposed smoldering fireworks as an example of the risk to life and property.

City staff asked residents to follow posted safety guidance and to use Zonehaven mapping resources for evacuation information in emergencies.","City officials reminded residents that all fireworks are illegal in Millbrae, while announcing the second annual July 4 celebration at Central Park and other summer events including movie night on July 11.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6522743,"Millbrae council appoints and reappoints members to multiple advisory bodies; youth advisory slate approved with mayor recusal",472,3243000,3715000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5067349-3e7e759d1f2bae9c952753c8a49d2759&start=3243&end=3715","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5067349-3e7e759d1f2bae9c952753c8a49d2759/thumbnail_3243000.jpg","/articles/6522743/Millbrae-City/San-Mateo-County/California/Millbrae-council-appoints-and-reappoints-members-to-multiple-advisory-bodies-youth-advisory-slate-approved-with-mayor-recusal","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6522743-b7bd091eacafc8ebf7f009721e194dbc/orig.mp4?Expires=1771154080&Signature=HVQi81Bd9UXBVMRi3K8onBr0Sitsvt2OQJXrQjKoFZv~S~Kff5swinxh3D2DMjek8FvpvjWtDU4ldy9i7yYhgajQItny2UUkQ9Kzi4eY1RROcbMzlVgUXWhe8X09pdwj9-GKLkqjxSDvJdjgCzRHcURCfLPmwIqKc7TmAwbgYVYvKkC2kkSWAheaVwfqZPWSo0mCnhDdco-ciimyFVpm9zP2r3U06WD0z2hVie9reX~11qwTuIlvdBa49engYb-YRB263oQuIl-~V33HKyF3PLKCrohziNQOSG1oq0QdVYPu3QRmuK6OoSjT9XDBX3Ur3j4pJHqY3iZNR-7lA2WVAg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Millbrae City Council on June 24 approved a series of appointments and reappointments to the city’s advisory commissions and committees.

City Clerk Elaine Tramm presented the subcommittee recommendations from Mayor Fung and Councilmember Riley. The appointments included reappointment of Sami Yim and the new appointment of Umid Kapanugu to the Sister Cities Commission; reappointments to the Community Enhancement Advisory Committee; reappointment to the Cultural Arts Advisory Committee; multiple appointments and a full‑member promotion to the Economic Development Advisory Committee; and reappointments to the Senior Advisory Committee. The council approved those appointments by a 5-0 vote.

The council then considered the Youth Advisory Committee. Mayor Fung recused himself from that portion of the appointment process because an applicant is a family member. Vice Mayor Holiver and Councilmember Riley reported interviewing 16–18 applicants and recommended a slate that included four reappointments and five new appointments with one alternate and one vacancy for a middle‑school member. The council approved the youth advisory committee appointments by a 4-0-1 vote, with Mayor Fung recused.

No public comment was received on the appointments. The city clerk said recruitment for remaining vacancies remains open year‑round and applications are retained for one year.","The council approved appointments and reappointments to sister cities, community enhancement, cultural arts, economic development and senior advisory committees, and confirmed a slate of youth advisory committee members; the youth vote was 4-0-1 with the mayor recused.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6522748,"Millbrae council approves consent items including emergency services agreement; authorizes destruction of mold‑damaged records",522,1210000,1732000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5067349-3e7e759d1f2bae9c952753c8a49d2759&start=1210&end=1732","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5067349-3e7e759d1f2bae9c952753c8a49d2759/thumbnail_1210000.jpg","/articles/6522748/Millbrae-City/San-Mateo-County/California/Millbrae-council-approves-consent-items-including-emergency-services-agreement-authorizes-destruction-of-molddamaged-records","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6522748-974907aad3a6acb81a82d4d9a463327f/orig.mp4?Expires=1771154080&Signature=eDRiX2DYLlFVWanI7XFvmz64zMXyLcMUt8WKQ~gHEhXenFm5yL4FQQbv5Smx8hWmfnzIzGS0it4XzpBaazK~CAQzbAL10ugQJMDIpW8DKBoMbDAnH6mLnvpFyguyki68iA~r8FbpGj8Ipn1KMHANWW8tn1dUyDT0O5i-G6vOEIiWSyGB20ouLL5z3VrqBB2fJs0YCHMmtrP65v1sAgVXkhjjXRQM0A2Myh7qmD3T44AbfrAcvifgkp57FlNB0okcJ0wdIsZyGGLfoPAGziSgAZdubDING77B7sTLG0zd9YXu3dUHerFGF3v7AI6c3bVgiJ4NN9EVYQ1P06n93zGXJA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Millbrae City Council on June 24 approved routine consent items and adopted a resolution authorizing destruction of records damaged by flooding and mold prior to the end of their retention period.

On the consent calendar the council approved (by a 5-0 vote) the monthly general fund financial report for the period ending February; a professional services agreement with EKI Environmental & Water Inc. for hydraulic modeling and analysis of the Millbrae water distribution system in the amount of $173,400 with a 10 percent design contingency for a total not to exceed $190,740; and a resolution adopting an updated Sewer System Management Plan. Councilmembers also approved an agreement with San Mateo County to provide an Office of Emergency Services direct coordinator, not to exceed $64,571 for the period July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026, after the item was pulled for brief public comment and discussion.

The council also considered Item 9, a resolution authorizing the city manager to destroy records damaged by flooding and mold prior to the end of their retention period. Vice Mayor Holiver asked whether the affected records had been digitized before destruction; staff responded that at least one record had been digitized and that permanent records will be scanned going forward as the city completes its records‑retention update. Staff noted the city had not completed digitizing all boxes stored in the basement and that some files remain unreviewed. The council voted 5-0 to authorize the destruction of the identified damaged records.

There was public comment from a community member, Anne Snyder, on emergency‑planning drills and neighborhood evacuation readiness; staff and Councilmember Riley said the county’s evacuation planning and a Zonehaven mapping tool are in use and that a county drill had been rescheduled to the fall.

City Engineer Ahmad Haya told the council the program packages surface treatments, crack sealing, micro‑surfacing, chip seals, localized grinding and overlay, and curb‑ramp work to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Haya said the city’s pavement management program prioritized 13 locations for the 2026 project and estimated an engineer’s construction cost of approximately $1.3 million.

‘‘Currently, under the RMA account, there’s $609,791 for Millbrae,’’ Haya said, referring to the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account administered under SB 1. He said the SB 1 funding would supplement the city’s capital improvement program so the larger slate of prioritized streets can be resurfaced in the 2026 construction season, with work expected to start in spring 2026 and finish by late summer.

The listed streets include Evergreen Way, Sony Court, Guadalupe Court, Clearfield Drive, Riverton Drive, Vista Grande Drive and Alta Loma Street, among others. Haya said the project selection used the pavement condition index methodology and considered traffic volumes, roadway use and subsurface structural conditions.

Councilmembers asked for clarification on criteria and the typical service‑life extension provided by treatments. Haya said slurry seals and similar surface treatments generally extend pavement life by a few years, overlays and asphalt concrete repairs might add 10–15 years, and full reconstruction can provide longer service life. He also noted the citywide PCI had declined to about 50, indicating continuing need for investment.

The motion to adopt the SB 1 project list and authorize the funding allocation was made by Councilmember Rinaldi, seconded by Councilmember Nguyen, and passed unanimously.

Haya said staff will continue design and may add backup streets if additional funding becomes available; construction is scheduled for spring 2026.","The council approved a list of 13 streets for resurfacing and rehabilitation in the 2026 pavement program and authorized using $609,791 from Senate Bill 1 local streets and roads funds, supplementing an estimated $1.3 million project budget.",{"_33":124,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":125,"_41":126,"_43":127,"_45":128,"_47":129,"_49":130,"_51":131,"_53":132,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":133,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":134,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6522758,"Millbrae council awards $394,197 contract to line La Prenda water tank; staff seeks federal mitigation grant",343,1900000,2243000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5067349-3e7e759d1f2bae9c952753c8a49d2759&start=1900&end=2243","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5067349-3e7e759d1f2bae9c952753c8a49d2759/thumbnail_1900000.jpg","/articles/6522758/Millbrae-City/San-Mateo-County/California/Millbrae-council-awards-394197-contract-to-line-La-Prenda-water-tank-staff-seeks-federal-mitigation-grant","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6522758-ba3bb66d98832e14b4baae39bd28c978/orig.mp4?Expires=1771154080&Signature=bn24ZWEhDyJghQ5lVMhj4Y2DXlXAI4CTivxgT-IIw484ndyaLCYCmJhtjUVVRsoBy-gYU90lzzcjjs6DEVbaKgscDpqhWDOz01x3dJh-SDhE~IMedw6hYMiTRvfEv38Z05WscxDrltTXn6b~ENA-wdNAq2gavhoa-HYWOteevjZWxq77eW~NYkIotpLMU5WuUYowFPMZdPMYktMdOPTbYzUPTb4YGMO5kKCHpWVOjUM7OoSTfVbILDTDfQH1iQ5ECE-cHMvALX4Fo81fs36x5JJJrcKo788ZtAT-09qJNE--U-ZZI~EejOvI99XyVoOnRO7hViWgQNViWZQMCbmhlw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Millbrae City Council on Tuesday voted 5-0 to award a $394,197 contract to United Field Service Corporation to apply an interim lining to the La Prenda water storage tank and to establish a project contingency that brings the total authorized project budget to $453,327.

City Engineer and capital improvement program manager Ahmad Haya told the council the La Prenda tank, built in 1978, is nearly 50 years old and was decommissioned in November 2023 after routine inspection revealed ‘‘severe corrosion’’ and water‑quality issues. Haya said a lining would extend the tank’s service life an estimated five to 10 years while staff pursues funding for a full replacement.

‘‘It is cost‑effective and stores critical infrastructure most immediately,’’ Haya said, adding staff expect the lining project to be complete by November 2025 and that completing the work will make the site eligible for federal hazard‑mitigation grant funding administered through Cal OES.

Haya said consultants recommended a future replacement tank of about 660,000 gallons, upgraded to current seismic and safety standards. In the interim, the city has also moved forward with a pressure‑reducing valve (PRV) project at Hillcrest to address pressure concerns in Pressure Zone 1 while La Prenda remains offline.

Mayor and council members questioned grant prospects and durability. Haya said the grant opportunity comes through federal disaster funding allocated to California after recent wildfire disasters and that city staff have already discussed eligibility with Cal OES, which advised a September subapplication. He said the lining is intended to provide a bridge to a funded replacement but does not resolve underlying seismic vulnerabilities.

The motion to award the construction contract was made by Councilmember Rinaldi, seconded by Councilmember Edwin, and passed unanimously.

The council also instructed staff to proceed with required contract documents within the approved project budget and contingency. The staff presentation noted the city will keep pursuing larger grant awards that could cover up to $3 million toward a full replacement subject to a 25 percent local match.

The project staff also found that Skyland Tank currently provides most of the storage for Pressure Zone 1; La Prenda’s return to service would restore redundancy for fire‑flow and other peak demands.

No public comment was received on the item. The council’s action includes a finding that the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for the purposes of contract award and construction planning.","The City Council voted 5-0 to award a $394,197 construction contract to United Field Service Corporation to line the out‑of‑service La Prenda reservoir as an interim repair while staff pursues a larger replacement and federal hazard‑mitigation funding.","actionData","errors"]
