Automated license plate reader surveillance program

No direct cost tonight, but future camera contracts, fines clauses and possible independent audits could carry significant price tags.

Redwood Shores Sea Level Rise Protection Project

Adds $950,000, bringing the agreement total to $3,664,310.

Redwood City ferry terminal project

Roughly $6 million a year in projected operating shortfalls, plus $80 million for ferries, with tickets costing taxpayers an estimated $31 per trip.

November 2026 rent control and just cause eviction ballot measure

A consultant estimated $4-$10 million a year in city administration costs plus $300,000-$700,000 startup, to be covered by landlord fees of roughly $338-$445 per unit per year — but the ordinance bars using the general fund, creating a funding puzzle.

Objective Design Standards for housing

No direct cost to residents; the standards aim to speed housing approvals and reduce legal risk for the city.

Potable Water Conservation and Non-Functional Turf Ban

State penalties can reach $1,000 per day, but the city emphasizes education first; property owners may face turf removal or purple-pipe connection costs.

Stanford Medicine Cancer Center plan amendments

Stanford pays no property tax as a nonprofit, so community benefits stand in for lost tax revenue; a prior agreement totaled $15 million.

Reimagine Dumbarton busway and trail

Design work is grant-funded ($5 million from MTC); construction funding is not yet secured and could come from regional measures including the 2028 Measure A renewal.

Winter 2026-27 El Niño Storm Readiness

Preparedness is within existing resources; no new funding was requested.

Countywide Transportation Plan Priority Projects

Projects total hundreds of millions; inclusion doesn't fund them, but positions the city for state, federal and Measure A local-match dollars.

Downtown Area Plan expansion

The expansion needs a new budget, coming back to council later this year.

Firefighter labor agreement through 2029

Firefighter contract terms could affect future city labor costs.

Southgate Street Closure and Loraine Duncan Park

Speakers cited over $40,000 on title research and $20,000 on a traffic consultant.

Downtown Parking Program and Meter Rate Increases

The parking program runs about a $1.4 million annual deficit; rate increases are meant to shrink it.

Central El Camino Real Complete Streets plan

Corridor-wide effort estimated at up to $1 billion, with construction possibly starting 2030 or later.

Mobile and sidewalk vending rules

New permit fees of roughly $700 for food trucks (plus county health permits of $439-$1,804) would land on vendors; $30,000 is budgeted for outreach.

Broadway paving and curb ramps

$2.55 million from the city's capital budget, up to $2.8 million with contingency.

Veterans Memorial/Senior Center demolition

$545,300 contract, up to $654,360 with change orders.
