Copy of City Council 8.24.26 Regular Meeting

The City Council of San Carlos held a regular meeting on August 24, 2026, which included several procurement and budget-related discussions. A key agenda item was the proposed adjustment to the city's field use fees for fiscal year 2026-27. The council reviewed a staff report recommending a reduction in per-player fees for recreation organizations from $86 to $43, reflecting feedback from user groups and aligning with reduced maintenance costs from the school district. The council discussed fee structures, including resident versus non-resident rates and the impact on volunteer-based sports organizations. After public comments and deliberation, the council unanimously adopted Resolution 2026-105 to adjust the field use fees. Additionally, the council approved a memorandum of understanding with the Teamsters union covering salary and benefit adjustments for city employees, with no additional budget appropriations required. Other discussions included community safety concerns related to e-bikes and traffic enforcement, but no direct procurement actions were taken on those topics.
