City Council 4.13.26 Regular Meeting

The City Council of San Carlos held its regular meeting on April 13, 2026, which included several recognitions such as Parkinson's Awareness Month and the California Distinguished School awards for local middle schools. The meeting featured public comments addressing concerns about a local development project on a steep slope, requests for bike lane safety improvements, and flooding issues requiring storm drain infrastructure upgrades. A significant portion of the meeting focused on an update from the Assistant Public Works Director regarding PG&E's non-compliance with the city's utility notification policy. The city has negotiated a compromise allowing a tiered notification system combining digital and mailed notices to residents, with accountability measures including potential permit revocation for non-compliance. The council also discussed transparency and cost updates related to the downtown project, emphasizing the need for accurate and timely budget information as the project progresses toward bidding in early 2027. No formal votes on procurement or contract awards were recorded, but the discussions highlighted ongoing infrastructure and utility coordination challenges affecting city projects and residents.
