City Council Meeting - April 6, 2026

The City Council meeting of Foster City on April 6, 2026, included presentations and discussions primarily focused on energy procurement and local transportation funding. Peninsula Clean Energy, soon to be renamed Westlight Energy, presented on their clean energy procurement efforts, community reinvestment programs, and upcoming initiatives such as a residential solar plus storage program. The council was asked to approve a Joint Powers Authority amendment for the name change. Additionally, representatives from SamTrans discussed the potential impacts of California Senate Bill 63, which proposes a sales tax to fund transit agencies in the Bay Area. They sought community input on a local investment plan for approximately $50 million annually in San Mateo County if the measure passes, emphasizing priorities such as expanding transit access and improving bus stops. The meeting also included public comments on safety improvements for local bike trails and various city updates, but no direct contract awards or procurement decisions were made during this session.
