Community Development Director Andy Mogensen characterized the change as a “housekeeping” update that aligns the code’s enforcement-authority list with positions and ordinances the council previously approved. Mogensen said the amendments add a Park Services Assistant position and include positions that were previously omitted, such as the city engineer and deputy fire marshal; the update also identifies the recently adopted encampment ordinance among the code sections certain staff may enforce. Mogensen said the proposed changes “reflect prior approvals. They do not amend any existing regulations.”

Councilmember Rinaldi moved the item and Vice Mayor Holiver seconded. The ordinance was approved on a 5–0 vote to introduce and waive the first reading.

The item was presented as procedural; there was no substantive change to enforcement policy as part of this action, and no immediate operational changes were announced at the meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Millbrae City Council Regular Meeting - July 8, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Millbrae City Council on July 8 introduced and waived first reading of an ordinance updating the city code’s list of employees authorized to issue enforcement citations, adding positions and listing the recently adopted encampment ordinance.","taxTitle","Millbrae City, San Mateo County, California","taxId",71799,"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},6656230,"Council adopts FY 2025–26 sewer, fire assessment and stormwater fees for collection on county tax roll",700,2383000,3083000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5334488-b9be7838ffe475cac61f38e73d9b659c&start=2383&end=3083","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5334488-b9be7838ffe475cac61f38e73d9b659c/thumbnail_2383000.jpg","/articles/6656230/Millbrae-City/San-Mateo-County/California/Council-adopts-FY-202526-sewer-fire-assessment-and-stormwater-fees-for-collection-on-county-tax-roll","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6656230-98f3bc8f7528a54ed6cf7f0bcf96f382/orig.mp4?Expires=1771216574&Signature=I1jv9mFSSsXRaJEpNgF76Nz8FQAh3IF7l6RO1myROj2~dkx4ecn-eGdvOOysg0-IYlqkhodD2bnGBwSRmQwVIw~TdxPSQ70v4JUfNPNBNJ7LKhPut3xvag6CRryuqsdcKq0s7PNqUXzjlPDPlwBwUZB57z9HmW64DxOeRCdF2zuWFIHS70WlXoHbJkPHyx7qLx7rt8XSXoB1YYnbqa1z5Bbsbtfdj5afDQRoQRRT-9aFHtUcJ~02zdz7m59jUQ~M~4059sUMxFuVUmyCumDI9PfwiWqpxa7wwiOD1~PGyGx6FwzIdosOMteUzeF432yrobiYCW8Za6iAJ5gdu4xWOg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Millbrae City Council on July 8 held a public hearing and adopted three resolutions authorizing collection of FY 2025–26 sewer service charges, the annual fire assessment and the stormwater fee on the San Mateo County property tax roll.

Finance Director Mike Sung explained that placing these charges on the county roll increases collection efficiency and that San Mateo County fronts collections under the county’s teeter plan. He said the sewer fixed and variable charges will increase by about 6 percent consistent with the sewer rate study adopted in 2022; the city’s Clean Bay charge was unchanged. Sung said the fire assessment includes an annual CPI adjustment capped at 3 percent; the February-to-February CPI used for the FY25–26 adjustment was 2.689 percent. Sung said that adjustment results in a single-family residential fire assessment of about $204 (up from $199) and a multifamily assessment rising from $142 to about $146; commercial and industrial assessments will also increase by 2.689 percent according to parcel/size metrics in the assessment table.

Council opened and closed the public hearing (no public speakers were recorded on the item) and then voted 5–0 to adopt the three resolutions and direct staff to submit the charges to the county by the July 31 deadline for inclusion on the FY25–26 tax roll. Sung explained the county billing schedule produces two payments annually (December 10 and April 10) and that many San Mateo County cities use the county tax roll for these fees. Council discussion touched on the stormwater fee’s long-term rate levels and options to consider future adjustments; Vice Mayor Holiver noted storm fees have not been increased since the mid-1990s and said raising the fee could reduce pressure on the general fund. Staff said the stormwater fee for FY25–26 will remain unchanged; the vice mayor cited a current fee level of about $25 per year.

The council approved all three resolutions on a 5–0 vote.","Following a public hearing on July 8, the Millbrae City Council adopted resolutions to place the FY 2025–26 sewer service charge, fire assessment and stormwater fee on the San Mateo County property tax roll for collection.",{"_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},6656240,"Small-business owner tells council of persistent raw-sewage smell on Broadway near new studio",116,665000,781000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5334488-b9be7838ffe475cac61f38e73d9b659c&start=665&end=781","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5334488-b9be7838ffe475cac61f38e73d9b659c/thumbnail_665000.jpg","/articles/6656240/Millbrae-City/San-Mateo-County/California/Small-business-owner-tells-council-of-persistent-raw-sewage-smell-on-Broadway-near-new-studio","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6656240-bc8752fb04f0d56acf3c5f56362cdab4/orig.mp4?Expires=1771216574&Signature=RU0X14WwXK6bQC3Rs0L~N8VR1Rp4ndUmc~wC5Xo0b~zG39Pfai22KgtgDT3zeNoAYkLmlOxJsKIcUA7FFsZTKzOA4oRYiHjOtGUzt1XZR1Xa0hctrgApHlpQKuz4EPzfP06QsI2xJF26MPq2XX0Y1YHpYM1GbFMLnnrkYT6izQ5RxrBQ8eL~C~Dye-nePK0VXJOZBOQwuw4b4l9GEzflMdckELAZOefjP8gDEV2ss3zXa6cjCLDLQsqgaYDqOMAalIzI5V5sN7IreJJq1sCw4vobGJYJxuPghNfSn~tpB6GmmqResPi0wVmGUXjkGY~~zZhMLKrJPxBjTpeI0amcHQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Sofia Valera, a new small-business owner preparing to open Westcore Studio at 439 Broadway, told the Millbrae City Council on July 8 that a persistent sewage odor outside her business threatens her ability to open.

\"There's a very, very intense smell of raw sewage mixed with bathroom waste,\" Valera said from the public podium. She said neighbors indicated the problem has persisted “for a long time” and that oil and other material from the adjacent restaurant at 447 Broadway (identified in her remarks as Laka) appears to flow onto the sidewalk and into the city's gutter. Valera said she reported the issue to the city’s sewer department on June 12; she said inspector David Bocelli inspected the next day and told her the issue had been known previously and advised follow-up with code enforcement.

Valera said she followed up with the city's code enforcement team, who told her they believed the problem had been resolved but that they would re-inspect and coordinate with colleagues. She asked the council to be aware of the problem and to help secure a solution before her studio’s planned opening in the coming weeks.

Mayor Fung declined to engage in extended back-and-forth during the public-comment period but told Valera \"I’m under the assumption that our director and the public works is already aware of the issue, and I'm sure they will take care of it, you know, within the protocol timeframe.\" The council did not take action during the meeting; Valera’s remarks were recorded during the public-comment portion and staff were expected to follow up under normal city processes.

Council members later discussed downtown code enforcement and business outreach during council comments; they emphasized education and outreach to businesses about compliance and said staff should continue transparency and communication with affected businesses.","A new small-business owner, Sofia Valera, told the City Council she and neighboring businesses are experiencing a persistent sewage odor on Broadway and said the city's sewer division and code enforcement have been contacted.

The presentation described active construction at the Meadow Glen site (the former Office Depot property), progress at 1301 Broadway and other projects across the station area, and recent tenant activity at new office and retail buildings. Director Andy Mogensen told the council the Meadow Glen development “will be ultimately a 6 story mixed use building” on a 1.8-acre site bounded by Broadway, El Camino Real and Meadow Glen and said construction is expected to continue through spring 2027. He said the project was entitled under SB 330 in July 2022 and “consists of 278 residential units,” 26 of which the presentation identified as affordable, with about 17,000 square feet of ground-floor retail and two levels of interior parking.

Mogensen also reported that 1301 Broadway has begun grading and permits are complete; he described that project as a 97-unit fully affordable housing development with two levels of parking and 63 spaces. The city noted receipt of $21,300 from the California Municipal Finance Authority tied to TEFRA bond issuance earlier this year.

At the Millbrae Station campus, Mogensen said the ACLS/ICON Therapeutics building is operational and ICON moved in April; the Longfellow/Avia Labs project (described in the presentation as a 315,000-square-foot laboratory and office building at 210 Harriet Tubman) received a final certificate of occupancy for the core and shell in early June. Mogensen said move-in-ready lab suites remain under construction and tenant improvements are pending leases.

The presentation listed a growing retail mix at Gateway at Millbrae Station: Panda Express, Liberty Bank, Chick-fil-A and Basecamp Fitness are open; Crumbl Cookies, Sourdough and Company and Starbucks were under construction; Zeroand (a tea shop), I Code (a learning academy) and Tandoori Pizza were in plan check or awaiting permits. Mogensen said SamTrans is building roughly 150,000 square feet of tenant improvements at 166 Rollins Road and expects those improvements to be completed by January 2026.

Mogensen noted the Millbrae Station BART fare gates are installed and credited 100% grant funding for that work from the San Mateo County Transportation Authority. He also described the Sarah Station entitlement at 150 Sara Avenue as an approved project that could include up to 488 housing units, roughly 290,000 square feet of office and about 30,000 square feet of retail; the city extended that project’s development agreement to Nov. 16, 2033 and reported no firm construction start date.

Council members asked follow-up questions about a possible ICON/Avia Labs ribbon-cutting and whether conference or meeting rooms in new office amenity buildings could be made available for public use. Mogensen said the amenity building at Alexandria/ICON’s campus includes a roughly 120-seat theater and that the city will coordinate with the building’s primary tenant if the space is requested. Vice Mayor Holiver and other council members expressed interest in scheduling ribbon-cutting or grand-opening events once tenants are ready.

No council action was required; the item was presented as an annual informational update and the council did not take a vote.","City planning director gave an informational update on multiple major development projects clustered around Millbrae Station and downtown, including Meadow Glen, 1301 Broadway, Avia Labs/Longfellow, new businesses in Gateway at Millbrae Station, SamTrans tenant improvements, and the installed BART fare gates. No council action was required.","actionData","errors"]
