SULLIVAN OF THE SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT WHEREAS, Mr. Sullivan is originally from Boston, Massachusetts, and brings with him not only experience and professionalism, but also a passion for arts education and student success; and WHEREAS, Mr. Sullivan joined El Camino High School (ECHS) two years ago, as an English and Drama teacher, who previously taught at Lowell High School, and since then has brought new energy, creativity, and leadership to the Drama Department; and WHEREAS, he has directed several successful and meaningful productions at ECHS, including The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, Our Town, Legally Blonde, and As You Like It, each of which brought students together and strengthened our school community; and WHEREAS, Mr. Sullivan has transformed the El Camino Drama Department into a more inclusive, welcoming, and positive space for students of all backgrounds; and WHEREAS, he ensures that rehearsals are well-organized and respectful of students’ time, helping to reduce burnout and stress while still promoting growth and creativity; and WHEREAS, he implemented the Stagecraft class at ECHS, giving students the opportunity to learn technical theater skills such as lighting, set building, and sound design, expanding access to theater for those who may not want to be on stage; and WHEREAS, many students have had difficult and overwhelming experiences in the department before his arrival, and now feel proud, motivated, and supported under his guidance; and WHEREAS, his presence has not only improved the drama program but has also helped students grow in confidence, responsibility, and teamwork; and WHEREAS, Mr. Sullivan has shown what it means to be a thoughtful educator, using his time and talents to uplift student voices and encourage a love for the arts. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Mayor and City Council of South San Francisco formally proclaim April 29, 2025, as Mr. Sullivan Day in South San Francisco, and we thank him for his dedication, impact, and lasting contributions to youth arts education and the El Camino High School community. ________________________________ Isabella Chuong, Mayor ________________________________ Jasmine Saldivar, Vice Mayor ________________________________ Cassie Partosan, Councilmember ________________________________ Laszlo Pohoczky, Councilmember ________________________________ Ysabella Tolentino, Councilmember 6 City of South San Francisco Legislation Text P.O.

Proclamation honoring Michael Anthony Diaz.(Lorainne Yin, City Manager) City of South San Francisco Printed on 4/25/2025Page 1 of 1 powered by Legistar™7 April 29, 2025 RECOGNITION HONORING MICHAEL ANTHONY DIAZ April 29, 2025 WHEREAS, Michael Anthony Diaz has been a lifelong resident of South San Francisco, serving as an alumnus of Skyline Elementary School, Westborough Middle School, and El Camino High School. His passion for learning led him to attend and graduate from UC Davis where then he returned to El Camino in 2022 to pursue a career in education; and WHEREAS, Michael Anthony Diaz has taught freshman biology, biotechnology 1- 4, and recently, AP Environmental Science. As a teacher, he can easily be categorized as multifaceted: possessing both subject matter expertise and pedagogical skills. It is clear that Michael Anthony Diaz has a strong foundation on various subject matters while concurrently possessing the ability to convey such complex information. His ability to teach but also embody the empathy inherent in every human being is what allows him to cultivate such an inclusive educational environment and forever imbue the passion for learning within his students; and WHEREAS, yet, the impact of Michael Anthony Diaz exceeds that of a teacher, serving also as the advisor to the computer science club, biotechnology club, interact club, MESA club, and Science Unboxed program and as the advisor of the class of 2027, Mr. Diaz has undeniably left a lifelong impact on his students; and WHEREAS, Michael Anthony Diaz, or as his students call him, “Mr. Diaz”, “the chill teacher”, and even just “teach” has fundamentally changed the life of every one of his students. He has become the teacher that embodies every syllable, every articulation, and every letter of the word “teacher”. The word “teacher” derives its meaning and standards from the actions of Michael Anthony Diaz. His paradoxical ability to truly look past all trivial environmental influences yet recognize their impacts in the growth of his students allows them to truly be seen. He fastens his vision upon their potential, seeing them not as who they are, but who they, he believes, can truly become; and WHEREAS, the 2025 Youth in Government Program congratulates Michael on his short, but impactful years of experience in educational practice and leadership, having served as a teacher and advisor. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the 2025 Youth in Government Mock City Council of the City of South San Francisco does hereby thank Michael Anthony Diaz on his three impactful years of dedicated service as a teacher, club advisor, and class advisor at El Camino High School and wishes him the best in the continuation and expansion of his journey. Thank you for all that you will continue to do for the betterment of the South San Francisco youth community. ________________________________ Isabella Chuong, Mayor ________________________________ Jasmine Saldivar, Vice Mayor ________________________________ Cassie Partosan, Councilmember ________________________________ Laszlo Pohoczky, Councilmember ________________________________ Ysabella Tolentino, Councilmember 8 City of South San Francisco Legislation Text P.O.

Report regarding current City and Police Department outreach programs to youth and future endeavors that promote safety and positive relationships between the police and our youth community. (Andrada Tomisinet, Police Chief) RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council receive an update about the current community outreach programs involving the police department that foster friendly police-youth relationships. BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION The South San Francisco Police Department hosts and/or participates in several programs focusing on our youth population to promote positive relationships between police officers and youth, and to raise awareness about safety and careers in law enforcement. The Spring Youth Police Academy is an afterschool program for 5th grade children. Some of the topics discussed in the program include detectives, crime scene evidence, motorcycles, SWAT, the K9 team, and other department-related demonstrations. The Summer Youth Academy Program is a week-long summer-camp style program that is intended for teens between the ages of 12 and 14. It is designed to build and strengthen the relationships between middle schoolers and members of the Police Department by educating them about the many functions of the police department, and roles of officers within the community. South San Francisco Explorer Cadets is a program that allows students ages 15-21 from South San Francisco to learn about different jobs in law enforcement while helping their local community. The program teaches leadership skills, teamwork, discipline, and the importance of civil service. It encourages positive relations between police and local youth. The SSF Police Activities League (PAL) Boosters, founded in 1958, has a mission to foster stronger community ties with the youth of SSF by supporting and sponsoring various sports, arts, and youth initiatives, such as baseball. The Police Activities League strives to “build resilient police-community relationships through youth involvement, mentorship, and education, paving the way for a safer and more cohesive tomorrow.” The Every Kid Deserves a Bike Program was created by the City of South San Francisco with partnerships from the San Mateo County Office of Education and several other community organizations/volunteers. The program provides low-income elementary school-aged students with free bikes and lessons, encouraging personal growth, confidence, and outdoor experiences. The police department has been an active participant in this program since its inception. FISCAL IMPACT There is no budget impact associated with these programs because the police department has staff members City of South San Francisco Printed on 4/25/2025Page 1 of 2 powered by Legistar™22 File #:25-466 Agenda Date:4/29/2025 Version:1 Item #:6. There is no budget impact associated with these programs because the police department has staff members who help coordinate the events as a regular responsibility of their assignments. RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN Continuing valuable youth outreach programs meets Strategic Goals #3: Public Safety by rendering skilled police, fire, and emergency service management. CONCLUSION The El Camino High School assembly to prevent drunk driving and the Spring & Summer Youth Police Academy, Explorer Cadets, Police Activities League, and Every Kid Deserves a Bike programs allow the police department to promote safety awareness to youth, provide eye-opening experiences about law enforcement work to South San Francisco youth, and promote understanding and positive relationships between the police department and South San Francisco youth.

Report regarding a resolution authorizing a new Adult Co-Ed Soccer League,and amending the Parks and Recreation Department Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Operating Budget pursuant to budget amendment #25.010 (Brandon Jimenez,Deputy Director of Parks and Recreation) RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council approve a resolution authorizing a new Adult Co-Ed Soccer League,and amending the Parks and Recreation Department Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Operating Budget pursuant to budget amendment #25.010. BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION In October 2023,the Parks and Recreation Department opened the Orange Memorial Park Sports Field.This opening helped the community come together,allowing the Department and the sports community to expand play time in various sports.The Parks and Recreation Department currently provides adult sports leagues in softball and basketball.Since opening the new sports field,staff have received many requests for more open field play.Youth sports have grown in the Department’s Junior Giants program,and under co-sponsored groups such as the South San Francisco Youth Soccer League,San Mateo County Athletic Club,and the South San Francisco Youth Baseball Managers Association.Staff reviewed the current field schedule and proposed a new Adult Co-Ed Soccer League to meet this demand,which will be targeted to ages 20 and up.This proposal is in response to the City Council’s interest in developing more programs for young adults.Targeting this age group offers a space for young adults who have aged out of youth programs and allows them to continue playing the sport that they love. The Adult Co-Ed Soccer League would be offered on Sunday nights from 6:00 p.m.-8:00 p.m.for 7 weeks July - August.The league will be split into two brackets -six competitive teams and six recreational teams,allowing new opportunities for people who just started the sport or want to have fun with friends.Teams that win will be promoted to a competitive bracket,and those who lose will be relegated to the recreational bracket.Co-ed teams would be required to have five men and three women on the field at all times. The cost per team will be $630. FISCAL IMPACT If approved, the cost and budget will be the following: $75 per game for official x 6 games per night x 7 weeks = $3,150 $30 for hourly staff x 3 hours x 7 weeks = $630 Total Expenditure Budget = $3,780 Total Revenue Budget = $7,560 ($630 per team x 12 teams) $200 championship shirt in each division There is no additional cost to the City for supplies such as goals, nets, and chalk. The revenue would cover the total expenditure budget (not including administration and maintenance cost).

RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN Approval of this request supports quality of life, to deliver services and amenities that address community needs. CONCLUSION It is recommended that the City Council approve a resolution authorizing a new Adult Co-Ed Soccer League,and amending the Parks and Recreation Department Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Operating Budget pursuant to budget amendment #25.010.Approval of this program fulfills the demand for an adult soccer program and the City Council's goal to develop more young adult programs within the community.

Report regarding a resolution awarding a Consulting Services Agreement to SSF Landscape Architects of South San Francisco,California for landscape design services for the Cypress and Pine Park Renovation Project in an amount not to exceed $200,000 and authorizing the City Manager to execute the agreement.(Felipe Ruiz,Director of Parks and Recreation) RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution approving a Consulting Services Agreement with SSF Landscape Architects of South San Francisco,California for landscape design services for the Cypress and Pine Park Renovation Project in an amount not to exceed $200,000 and authorizing the City Manager to execute the agreement. BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION Cypress and Pine Park is located in the Old Town / Downtown neighborhood, and remains one of the parks most in need of improvements. In the Capital Improvement Program budget, staff requested funding to renovate this park in the amount of $3,000,000 - which will be used for construction costs. This report is specifically for design and plan development for the new park. Cypress and Pine Park serves a densely populated area of the city. The park was last substantially renovated in 2000. It is above street grade on the southern and eastern sides, hampering visibility from the street. The retaining wall in this area is deteriorating. The basketball courts are used by teens and young adults, but in disrepair. The playground is also in poor condition. At just .3 acres, the park includes: ●An open turf area ●A children’s play area ●Picnic tables ●Two half-court basketball courts The Old Town neighborhood was identified in the 2015 Parks and Recreation Master Plan and 2022 General Plan as an area of concern for its lack of parks and open space. This densely populated area is considered one of South San Francisco’s most socio-economically diverse communities. While additional community engagement will take place as the project advances, for planning and cost estimating purposes, a renovated Cypress and Pine Park project may include the following elements: 1.Play area a.Examples: playground structures, interactive elements, rock climbing wall. 2.Recreational spaces a.Examples: game tables, exercise stations, yoga and tai chi spaces. 3.Sports court a.Examples: basketball courts, and futsal courts. 4.Gathering/seating areas a.Examples: entertainment, markets, fairs, leisure, and gathering spaces; tables with seating, and shaded areas.

The exact program elements and design will be informed by numerous community engagement and listening sessions, in English and Spanish at a minimum. Staff issued a Request for Proposals (RFP)in January 2025.Twenty firms downloaded the proposal packet.Proposals were due on April 1, with 10 firms submitting proposals. All 10 proposals were reviewed by a panel of five staff consisting of the Director of Capital Projects,Deputy Director of Capital Projects, Director of Parks and Recreation, Deputy Director of Parks and Recreation, and the Parks Manager. Members of the panel rated the interviews in the following areas: 1.Community Engagement 2.Public Art 3.Site Specific Considerations 4.Operations and Maintenance 5.Project Management and Experience Based on the scoring, and overall consensus of the panel, staff engaged SSF Landscape Architects, resulting in a negotiated fee of $200,000, which is 5% less than the next most affordable proposal. Additionally award of this project is based on the factors noted above, most notably successful performance with similar projects, and the outstanding breadth of community engagement, with multiple bi-lingual design professionals on the project team. Moving forward with the SSF Landscape Architects team now allows staff to maintain the anticipated schedule for the project, which is scheduled to complete construction by the end of 2026. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact to the budget.This project is included in the City of South San Francisco’s Capital Improvement Program and there are sufficient funds to award the Consulting Services Agreement.Design and a portion of construction cost will be funded by Park Fees, which may only be used for park construction. RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN Approval of this action will contribute to the City’s Strategic Plan.It aligns with Priority #2,which is focused on enhancing quality of life by building and maintaining a sustainable city,making our city a great place to live,learn and play.

Report regarding a recommendation to update the City’s “Buy American”vehicle purchasing policy to consider vehicle performance and manufacturing location over brand origin.(Loren Kylle Barrun,Public Works Director/City Engineer) RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the City Council consider updating the City’s “Buy American”vehicle purchasing policy to allow greater flexibility in vehicle procurement decisions by prioritizing vehicle performance and manufacturing location over brand origin. BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION The City of South San Francisco’s current policy for vehicle purchasing emphasizes the selection of vehicles from American-branded manufacturers.This policy was originally developed to support domestic automotive companies and preserve American jobs. However,various City departments have expressed concerns that some foreign-branded vehicles may be more effective in meeting their operational needs due to better performance,reliability,and features.Notably,a number of international automakers-such as Toyota,Honda,BMW,and Volkswagen-manufacture vehicles in the United States,contributing significantly to the domestic workforce.In contrast,many vehicles branded as “American” are produced in countries like Mexico and Canada. Relying solely on brand identity does not always ensure support for American workers or optimal outcomes for city departments.An updated policy could allow departments to make smarter and more cost-effective procurement decisions without compromising the City’s broader economic values. Policy Modernization Goals: ·Permit purchases of vehicles manufactured in the U.S., regardless of brand. ·Emphasize performance, reliability, and operational suitability. ·Support American workers through a more accurate understanding of domestic manufacturing. FISCAL IMPACT The proposed update to the vehicle purchasing policy is expected to improve the City’s ability to invest in cost- effective and reliable vehicles.This may result in better long-term value for taxpayers without increasing procurement costs. RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN This policy update aligns with Priority Area 4:Economic &Fiscal Sustainability of the South San Francisco Strategic Plan by ensuring that public resources are used efficiently and responsibly. CONCLUSION City Council’s consideration of an updated “Buy American” policy would allow for a more practical, flexible, City of South San Francisco Printed on 4/25/2025Page 1 of 2 powered by Legistar™53 File #:25-474 Agenda Date:4/29/2025 Version:1 Item #:10. and economically sound approach to vehicle procurement. This change would enable the City to make better purchasing decisions while continuing to support American jobs based on where vehicles are actually built.

Report regarding a resolution approving an agreement with Cooperative Personnel Services (CPS-HR),Inc.for professional services in an amount not to exceed $12,000.(Madeline Popielak,Mock Human Resources Director) RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that Council adopt a resolution approving an agreement with Cooperative Personnel Services (CHS-HR)for professional services in an amount not to exceed $12,000 for the second semi- annual employee engagement survey. In 2023, the City of South San Francisco launched an employee engagement initiative, in order to assess the City’s workforce engagement levels and identify strategies to improve employee retention, wellbeing, motivation and performance. Following the COVID-19 pandemic, many public agencies experienced increasing rates of employee burnout and turnover, due in part to the pressures presented for essential workers by the pandemic, as well as limited staffing resources available to budget shortfalls caused by a sharp decline in revenue in 2020-2021. In addition, post- COVID inflation and strong job growth led to high competition to fill vacant positions. Although the City of South San Francisco has historically maintained a low turnover rate, turnover did increase between 2020-2023, particularly in essential services such as public safety and community services, as well as in competitive and highly-skilled positions. In order to assess the needs of the workforce and develop strategies for employee retention, in fall of 2023, the City contracted with Cooperative Personnel Services to conduct an employee engagement survey of the City’s workforce. By utilizing a third-party survey, individual survey responses were kept confidential and only aggregate results were reported to the City. The results included a breakdown by department, employment status, and other key demographic results. The survey results also included comparisons to local government agency benchmarks in order to better assess the City’s engagement levels compared to similar organizations. On a City-wide basis, the following areas were identified as key drivers of engagement where the City showed the strongest positive results, as well as areas identified for improvement: Strengths to be Maintained: ·The City values diversity, equity and inclusion ·Employees have an opportunity to succeed. ·Employees feel a sense of belonging in the workplace. ·Employees feel respected in their workplace. Focus Areas for Improvement: ·Leadership communication/keeping employees informed. ·Improving trust in the City’s decision-making to ensure fairness. ·Recognizing employees and valuing the work that they do. After reviewing survey results, an action plan was developed by the City’s leadership team including resuming in-person town hall meetings with various City departments, instituting quarterly meetings for managers as well as administrative City of South San Francisco Printed on 4/25/2025Page 1 of 2 powered by Legistar™55 File #:25-477 Agenda Date:4/29/2025 Version:1 Item #:11. staff across departments, increasing management and supervisor training, and enhancing human resources services in key areas to promote better communication and transparency on a variety of key processes. Although some elements of the plan are still in progress, staff recommends continuing the employee engagement survey on a semi-annual basis in order to gauge engagement levels over time, and to assess the impact of the City’s employee engagement strategies. Staff recommends engaging the same vendor for at least the next two survey cycles, in order to evaluate results from the same survey. The target date for the rollout of the survey is January, 2026, as opposed to November, as staff determined that moving the launch date to after the holiday season may result in a higher response rate. The Professional Services Agreement includes the same consulting services as the original agreement, however, the total cost is approximately $2,000 lower as it does not include work for customizing the survey and breakout reports to South San Francisco. Staff also recommends adding a paper option (with a QR code scan) for some hourly employees who do not routinely use City email. On the last survey, hourly employees had a low response rate, and this change will enable the City to reach more employees and encourage them to complete the survey. The additional cost for the paper option is $1,200. RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN The City’s employee engagement program supports all aspects of the City’s strategic plan,by ensuring that the City is able to build,retain,and motivate and high-performance workforce to carry out the City’s public services, as well as City Council goals and initiatives. CONCLUSION It is recommended that Council adopt a resolution approving an agreement with Cooperative Personnel Services (CHS-HR)for professional services in order to continue the City’s employee engagement initiative and assess engagement levels on a semi-annual basis.

Report regarding a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement with Beazley Security,LLC for cybersecurity services in an amount not to exceed $264,000.(Saoirse Price, Director of Information Technology Department) RECOMMENDATION Staff is recommending the City Council approve and authorize execution of the Professional Services Agreement with Beazley Security, LLC to provide cybersecurity services to the City. BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION Cybersecurity threats continue to rise,with malicious actors engaging in large-scale cyber-attacks aimed at extorting money or valuable data.According to the 2023 Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)Internet Crime Report,investment scams have increased from $3.31 billion to $4.57 billion,with an average of 758,000 complaints annually.In response to this growing threat,the City's Information Technology Department is proactively seeking services to prevent and reinforce the defense of its network against cyberattacks. Beazley Security is a specialized cybersecurity firm that offers comprehensive monitoring of logs and endpoint telemetry data 24 hours per day,7 days week,in order to prevent cyberattacks.The Beazley platform will aggregate all pertinent logs,including those from servers and firewalls,onto their Security Operations Center (SOC)system for thorough event correlation.This program will not only provide a holistic view of potential attacks,but also facilitate seamless action by alerting City staff and the IT department via phone call to take immediate steps to mitigate threats.Overall,Beazley Security will readily provide assistance in the event of a cyber incident for South San Francisco. Under the proposed agreement,Beazley Security will provide services for a two-year term,monitoring 1000 endpoints and forwarding unlimited logs to their Extended Detection and Response (XDR) platform. The total cost of the two-year agreement is $264,000. FISCAL IMPACT The City’s Information Technology Department has appropriate funding included in the fiscal year 2024-25 proposed budget. CONCLUSION With the increase in Cyberattacks,staff are recommending the City Council authorize the professional services agreement with Beazley to assist in detecting and responding to cyberattacks.

BACKGROUND On September 11, 2024, the City Council adopted an ordinance adding Chapter 8.78 (“Mooring Regulations”) to the South San Francisco Municipal Code (SSFMC). The ordinance defined terms according to the similar ordinances in; The City of Oakland, City of Sausalito, and the Counties of Contra Costa, Sacramento, and Solano, in coordination with the Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC) On January 8, 2025, the City Council amended SSFMC Chapter 8.78, which included definitions of “Emergency”, removal of section 8.54.070(k)(3), and changed language to be more broad. As of February 27, 2025, as shown in the Marine Audit included as Attachment 1, there were 26 vessels in the City’s navigable waterways. The vessels are a threat to public safety and health due to improper disposal of waste, fire risk, and fuel leakages, and diminish the value of the development and safety of the residents of Oyster Point. SSFMC Chapter 8.78 gives the city the power and responsibility to: I. Issue 10-day notices to vessels out at sea II. Issuing public nuisance warrants III. Issuing arrest warrants IV. Having the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office enforce the warrant ENFORCEMENT STATUS UPDATE As agreed by the council, the City Manager has signed on-call agreements with three salvage companies in January of 2025. The City Manager’s Office issued a call for bids the following month. The City will engage in vessel removal in phases. The first phase will be the lowest hanging fruit: unoccupied vessels.The City Manager signed a task order with the salvage company that provided the lowest responsible bid to remove the nine unoccupied vessels. The cost of the initial removal is $125,000. The salvage company will start the week of May 5th, for their first removal. NEXT STEPS Phase two of clean up will be occupied vessels. The steps are listed above (Background).The process of removal can take 20-40 days, depending on availability of the on-call salvage companies, high tides, and weather. The cost of the second phase will likely be double than that of the first phase. The additional cost is primarily attributable to the greater number of occupied vessels and the significant amount of legal support needed from the City Attorney’s Office. The City Manager’s Office will also be applying for the California Parks Division of Boating and Waterways Surrendered and Abandoned Vessel Exchange (SAVE) Grant. The cycle is March 14th to April 30th, 2025, closing at 5pm. The grant, to remove recreational vessels, is a reimbursement of 10% of the clean up cost. The costs covered are removal, storage, City of South San Francisco Printed on 4/25/2025Page 1 of 3 powered by Legistar™65 File #:25-478 Agenda Date:4/29/2025 Version:1 Item #:13. and disposal of abandoned vessels. Reimbursement will be done by the City Manager’s Office before the 45 day grant cutoff. Currently the grant would reimburse the city $12,500 of the clean up cost. As a two year agreement the reimbursement will rise. Potential Preventative Measures I. Artificial Submerged Barrier-Oyster Channel Exclusive One potential option to prevent continuation of boats in the Oyster Point and to protect the sea and wildlife is to install several instances of rock pylons from the unused Oyster Cove Marina to the bend in the Bay Shore Trail by the end of ShorelineCourt street. Materials would consist of 32 tons of large rock and large high density polyethylene (as an alternative to metal which will corrode and leave heavy metals) and cost approximately $9,000. Labor would be approximately $1,500 and in conjunction with BCDC to make sure the City is environmentally conscious and within BCDC recommendations. Initial labor will include a preliminary underwater survey and insulation. The cost of ongoing maintenance is to be determined. II. Artificial Reef Wall-Oyster Channel Exclusive Another option to prevent continuation of boats in Oyster Point and to protect the sea and wildlife is to install an artificial eco wall from the unused Oyster Cove Marina to the bend in the Bay Shore Trail by the end of Shoreline Court Street. Materials will be marine blocks to facilitate marine habitation. Each costing around $100, it is estimated that it will take 250 blocks to make a wall up to 3” below sea level. The benefits are a re-invigorating of oyster point sea life, and seabirds. The blocks will also stop boats from treading into the cove. Adequate marking for the line will be required to stop accidents, however the permitted reasons for going into Oyster Point are primarily limited to rescue operations by the South San Francisco Fire Department and the San Mateo County Harbor District’s responsibilities for operating and maintaining Oyster Point Marina. As such, staff anticipates very few accidents. The cost of ongoing maintenance of the wall is to be determined. III. Housing the Unhoused Policy Staff recommends that the City Council promote more unhoused friendly legislation and zoning. Larger issues of improperly disposed waste, fire hazard, and disease hazard stem from our unhoused community. Staff recommends that the City pursue more development and construction of subsidized and affordable housing. Opening housing to the unhoused will contribute to keeping people off the boats and keep others safe from the fires and fecal waste. IV. Legality and Jurisdiction The waters of the Oyster Point are one foot to seven feet deep, while also being historically unused were recently expanded due to land fillings in the 60s and 70s. There has been no commercial use of the waters discussed in this report. The State of California defines navigable waters as: “Navigable waters and all streams of sufficient capacity to transport the products of the country are public ways for the purposes of navigation and of such transportation.” The cove discussed does not conduct trade nor does it have history of trade. As seen in the Montello case (1874): “It depends upon the fact whether the river in its natural state is such that it affords a channel for useful commerce.” Oyster Point Does not afford any commerce. Additionally the case of the Economy and Light states: “Artificial obstructions subject to abatement by public authority do not render non navigable in law a stream which, in its natural state, would be navigable in fact.” The blockage would not threaten its claims if it were navigable. The case of Oyster Point also is in public and environmental interest, the fires, and fecal contamination provide a threat to the wildlife and people of the area. With that it is in the City’s best interest to pursue prevention of long term anchored boats. Under the public trust doctrine, counties and states have taken more steps to protect waters and this case would exemplify that. City of South San Francisco Printed on 4/25/2025Page 2 of 3 powered by Legistar™66 File #:25-478 Agenda Date:4/29/2025 Version:1 Item #:13. CONCLUSION The removal and disposal of the marine debris in the Oyster Point waters is under way, and will pursue the next step of removing occupied vessels afterwards. The cost of these clean ups will be costly for the City, prompting the City Manager’s Office to recommend preventative measures for Oyster Point. Staff will pursue grant opportunities for the Artificial Submerged Barrier and The Artificial Reef Wall . One potential grant opportunity will be from the Environmental Protection Agency(EPA), which has granted the State of California $43 million to protect watersheds.
