San Bruno City Council Special and Regular Meetings, April 28, 2026

The City of San Bruno held special and regular council meetings on April 28, 2026, which included a detailed study session on the fiscal year 2026-27 budget preview and a five-year financial forecast presented by the CFO. Key procurement-related discussions focused on budget challenges, including revenue risks from state actions such as the Vehicle License Fee (VLF) backfill loss and tax revenue sharing agreements. The council reviewed the city’s reserves, expenditure allocations, and potential strategies to address a projected structural budget deficit of $1.7 million for the upcoming fiscal year. Options discussed included hiring freezes, service reductions, use of reserves, and potential new revenue measures such as parcel taxes or sales tax increases. The CFO introduced an interactive budget forecast dashboard to help council members and the public model different fiscal scenarios. Additionally, the council approved a construction contract with Golden State Construction and Utility for phase two of EV charger installations at the corporation yard, supported by $1 million in external funding. The meeting also included proclamations and presentations unrelated to procurement, and concluded with council recessing into closed session for labor negotiations and litigation matters.
