Consent calendar and amendments: The council approved the consent calendar, incorporating staff amendments to two items (an amendment to an attachment on item 5 and an amendment to item 7 clarifying interim authorization as of July 1). The consent calendar passed by roll call vote 6–0 (one councilmember absent).

Assessment and maintenance districts: The council held hearings and adopted resolutions to approve final engineers’ reports, confirm assessment diagrams and levy and collect assessments for several district zones and maintenance districts for fiscal year 2025–26. Items approved included:
- Consolidated Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District No. 96‑1, Zones 1–18 (final engineer’s report, maximum base assessment reconfirmation and levy order) — approved 6–0.
- Maintenance District No. 1 (storm drainage pumping station and conduit for Pacheco Way, Stratford Road and Roost Lane) — approved 6–0.
- Maintenance District No. 2 (Eden Shores stormwater and facilities) — approved 6–0.

Youth Commission appointments: The council confirmed the appointment and reappointment of Hayward Youth Commission members (32-member commission: 21 voting members and 11 alternates) following a recruitment and interview process; the measure passed by voice vote 6–0. New and continuing commissioners were sworn in during the meeting.

Other motions: The council approved a citywide community workforce agreement (CWA) and received public comment in support from local building trades unions. The council also heard several public comments on community issues, including requests for enforcement/action on a tree-ordinance enforcement matter and repeated vandalism and fires in a neighborhood; staff said they would forward citizen concerns to appropriate departments for follow-up.

How votes were taken: Where the voting app experienced issues, the city clerk conducted voice or roll-call votes. Most items of routine administration and district maintenance were approved unanimously; contested or debated items were handled separately (see separate article on the AB 481 military-equipment report and the interim city manager appointment).","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Hayward City Council Meeting June 24, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","At its June 24 meeting the Hayward City Council approved multiple consent and assessment items (including landscaping/lighting and maintenance districts), confirmed appointments to the Hayward Youth Commission and adopted several other routine measures.

Acting City Attorney Michael Vigilia presented the employment terms and said staff recommended parity with the prior interim city manager’s compensation. Vigilia stated the compensation would be the same rate previously provided to the prior interim city manager, at $381,000 annually, and that Adleman would have the right to return to her former position as library director at the end of the interim assignment.

Council recognition and move to approve: Multiple councilmembers thanked Acting City Manager Michael Lawson and Acting City Attorney Vigilia for managing the recent transition and welcomed Adleman, noting her work leading the city’s library and related programs. Mayor Salinas moved the resolution to approve the agreement; Mayor Pro Tem Roach seconded. The council voted 6–0 to approve the employment agreement and authorization for the mayor to sign the contract.

Implementation notes: The acting city attorney said the agreement will take effect July 1; Human Resources and the city attorney’s office will process the appointment and administrative changes. Council members emphasized continuity and credited staff for keeping operations stable during the transition.","The council approved an employment agreement appointing Jayanti Adleman, the city’s library director, as interim city manager effective July 1 at an annualized compensation rate of $381,000; Adleman retains right to return to library director at the end of the assignment.",{"_33":86,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":87,"_41":88,"_43":89,"_45":90,"_46":91,"_48":92,"_50":93,"_52":94,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":95,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":96,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":55,"_72":55},6522190,"Hayward council reports settlement and accepts city manager resignation; closed session disclosures released",144,4633000,4777000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5073222-b180438717f247905bb166f2b28be7a7&start=4633&end=4777","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5073222-b180438717f247905bb166f2b28be7a7/thumbnail_4633000.jpg","/articles/6522190/Hayward-City/Alameda-County/California/Hayward-council-reports-settlement-and-accepts-city-manager-resignation-closed-session-disclosures-released","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6522190-f318cd14d118c41c7ec8bd5c817225ab/orig.mp4?Expires=1771174002&Signature=TP0OAv5FCqC8zquFX88HwL0j-i19jjFcfOGAb~CzJtykjZBjlJKrpb9KfC4ww0h6xhwzm-2f7Nd0m5t2JlcdPCf--VW4ZQSmakhb~aNajkHjUvz1NIOR7mI470sWDP483EpJH4D1a1YIkgoIZoKArLaPweDw1wqyU9hkNG5vuNASb5KYniFK5YLBia4mqAND267vn1qn~aiC~8R0X3erOWL7XIeD7S3jjMSzff-Ag1W0BOjcZGInenZQ-r6AVeLrqYPEUhVd7AesCA5MdMoTitfDygKM4NiIRtStsCfU5ouwhxFrEYo~VCJognA4-a9DUbOtMEfE0XRNEitKAHgaCg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Hayward City Council reported out from a closed session held June 24 that it unanimously approved a $150,000 settlement in De Herrera v. City of Hayward and accepted the resignation of City Manager Dr. Anna Alvarez effective that evening.

Acting City Attorney Michael Vigilia said the council convened in closed session at 5:30 p.m. under the Ralph M. Brown Act to discuss several legal and personnel matters. On the De Herrera matter the council voted unanimously to approve the settlement; the motion was made by Councilmember Siropp and seconded by Councilmember Goldstein. Vigilia said no other reportable action was taken on other litigation items that had been on the closed-session agenda (Etcheverria v. City of Hayward and Nava v. City of Hayward). He said the council discussed three anticipated litigation matters but took no reportable action.

Resignation and severance: On the personnel item the council accepted the resignation of Dr. Anna Alvarez from her position as city manager, effective that evening. Vigilia reported the council voted 5–0 (with two members absent at the closed session) to accept the resignation. Under the terms disclosed, Dr. Alvarez will receive five months of severance totaling $171,148.43, less applicable withholding and deductions; the separation was described as amicable and without cause.

Council's report: Vigilia concluded the closed-session report by noting other items were discussed without reportable action. The council subsequently proceeded with its open meeting business, which included appointing an interim city manager and other agenda items.","In its closed session, Hayward City Council approved a $150,000 settlement in De Herrera v.

Police Chief Brian Matthews and staff presented the report and acquisition plans. The report showed 72 deployments of the department’s unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) across 52 incidents, 27 uses of the armored personnel carrier, 10 recorded uses of chemical agents (listed as oleoresin capsicum, commonly called pepper spray) tied to two distinct incidents, and eight uses of specialty impact munitions. Matthews said the department maintains a public webpage with a UAS log listing each deployment and purpose.

Fiscal and acquisition notes: The department said acquisition costs for the reported period were about $85,000, training costs were just under $300,000 (roughly $270,000 of that reported as personnel costs), and maintenance about $2,600. Presenters said those costs represent approximately 0.39% of the police operating budget. For the coming 12 months the department listed replenishment and replacement needs, including two indoor-capable UAS (described as smaller units with protective cages for indoor flight), replacement carbines and specialty ammunition, a case of noise‑flash diversionary devices, and new energetic breaching tools intended to allow rapid entry into heavily fortified structures while reducing risk to officers.

On training and oversight: Chief Matthews said training accompanies equipment purchases; councilmember Roach asked whether breaching-tool training was included in the training total and was told it is included. The department described energetic breaching devices as equipment that uses a small explosive charge or detonation cord configured to create an entry point without exposing officers directly at the door.

Community engagement and policy: The chief noted the department held a public safety committee meeting in May to discuss the report and maintain a public information page that includes policy and training materials. Councilmember Seirup asked about public input; staff said the May session had limited public comment but materials and logs are publicly posted.

Council action and vote: Councilmember Goldstein moved to renew the ordinance and policy and authorize the department’s planned equipment purchases; Mayor Pro Tem Roach seconded. The council approved the report and renewals with five yes votes and one abstention (Councilmember Seyer abstained). The city attorney and police confirmed the ordinance and policy were not being broadened into new statutory categories; the addition under consideration is an item (energetic breaching) that fits within existing categories covered by AB 481.","The city council reviewed the Hayward Police Department's annual Assembly Bill 481 report and renewed its military-equipment ordinance, approving planned purchases including indoor UAS replacements and equipment to support energetic breaching.

The revision and budget were presented by Haley Ralston, the GAD manager. Ralston said the GAD covers three developments — the Reserve, Hideaway and Hayward Somi — and that supplemental property tax assessments apply only to residences inside those developments. “GAD stands for geologic hazard abatement district, and it was formed, by Hayward City Council for certain developments within Hayward to protect them from geologic hazards that may impact their developments long term,” Ralston told the board.

Rationale and scope: Ralston said the staff recommendation to use the December CPI is intended to give the board “more exact...budget numbers and proposed levies” earlier in the annual cycle. The proposed budget allocates most funds to preventative maintenance and routine operations — cleaning drainage ditches and detention basins, twice-yearly monitoring for early signs of geologic hazards — with smaller amounts for GAD manager administration, outside professional services and GIS/website maintenance. Staff said there are no major repair projects anticipated, but a relatively minor landslide repair affecting a maintenance road in the Reserve development is planned for the coming summer.

Finances and reserves: Staff presented projected revenue of about $440,000 for the coming year (assessment revenue plus investment income) and an expected reserve increase of approximately $179,000. Ralston said the GAD’s beginning balance for the next fiscal year is about $1.3 million and after anticipated receipts and spending the account is forecast to be about $1.5 million at year end. For the Reserve development staff recommended setting the reserve levy at 60% of the inflation-adjusted limit; Hideaway and Hayward Somi will remain subject to their inflation-adjusted limits.

Notices, maintenance and transfers: Director Roach asked whether residents received notice that assessments would resume; Ralston replied that flyers were mailed to active residents late last year explaining levies and their purpose. Ralston also reported that spring weed abatement and monitoring are complete and that staff will work with the Hayward Somi developer on a property transfer to the GAD in the coming fiscal year; annexation of Parcel Group 3 was also anticipated before the end of the calendar year.

Board action and vote: Director Roach moved the resolution to adopt the budget and update the CPI reference; Director Goldstein seconded. With no public comment on the GAD item, the board approved the resolution unanimously, 5–0.

What’s next: Staff said they would update the budget document to correct a graph that differed from the board packet and bring any transfer or annexation items to the board when ready.","The Hayward Geologic Hazard Abatement District approved a $260,000 budget for fiscal year 2025–26, updated its Consumer Price Index reference month to December and confirmed planned maintenance, a minor landslide repair and transfers of new developments into the district.","actionData","errors"]
