At a glance: council's procedural votes and consent actions, June 10, 2025

At its June 10 meeting the Millbrae City Council approved routine procedural items and several consent actions with little or no discussion.

Key outcomes recorded on the meeting transcript: - Approval of regular meeting minutes for May 27, 2025 (motion passed 5‑0). - Consent calendar items (items 5, 6, 7 and 8) were adopted (recorded vote 5‑0). Those items included: establishing the FY2025–26 appropriation limit (item 5); adopting an ordinance adding Chapter 4.95 to the Millbrae Municipal Code regarding public encampment (item 6); authorizing a professional services agreement with Verde Design for the Mills Estate Park reactivation plan (item 7) in the amount of $296,080 plus a 15% design contingency for a total not to exceed $340,492; and approving an agreement with HP Consulting Group Inc. to serve as temporary acting public works director (item 8). - Item 9 (authorization for the mayor to attend an out‑of‑state conference) was considered separately; the transcript records the motion and a recorded outcome described on the record. (Transcript text records the item as passed; council also directed that future out‑of‑state travel protocols be reviewed by the rules subcommittee.) - Item 10—approval of a request from Chinese Hospital to use the community recreation center (Greg Hall) and a fee waiver for a community health fair on Aug. 2, 2025—was approved by the council (vote recorded 5‑0). Staff described the event as a community health fair providing free screenings and education. - Item 12—adoption of the two‑year operating and capital budget—was approved (vote recorded 5‑0). (See separate article for budget detail.) - Planning Commission appointments: Commissioner Katharine Quig and Commissioner Osamu Choi were reappointed to four‑year terms ending June 30, 2029 (motion recorded as passing 5‑0). - Item 14—an amendment to the franchise agreement with South San Francisco Scavenger specifying additional services and limits on no‑charge drop‑offs—was adopted (vote recorded 5‑0). Staff clarified permitted materials, daily limits (for example: up to three e‑waste items per resident per day, up to five gallons of household oil per day), and that residents may still place specified batteries and small e‑waste at curbside in a clear bag for pickup.

Where staff recommended items be pulled from consent for discussion the council either discussed briefly or referred protocol items (for example, council travel) to a subcommittee for future policy work. For items that carried financial commitments (contracts or design services) staff cited the contract dollar amounts in the staff reports and the consent motion.
