Top issues during term (19)(Public Safety)
Tobacco retailer license enforcement and youth protection
Violation fees go to the general fund; revoked retailers lose legal non-conforming status and cannot reapply.
Care facility funding concerns raised in public comment
The facility is funded through the state's Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program; the city sold the land to BACS.
Unarmed security services contract increase
Contract maximum increased by $356,000 to $5,181,897.
Invasive mosquito detected in Hayward
The district is funded by about $1.74-$2.50 on a typical Hayward property tax bill — no extra cost to residents.
General Municipal Election — City Hall Vote Center
Pedestrian fatalities and street safety
Quick-build fixes and a capital budget review are coming; residents warned that inaction risks lawsuits against the city.
Police Department Service Impacts and New Programs
About $589,000 a year for the technology, paid from grants, asset forfeiture funds, and existing budgets — no new general fund money requested.
Police surveillance technology expansion (Axon DFR and ALPR)
Up to $2.9 million over five years, structured to avoid new General Fund dollars.
Nighttime Safety Enhancement Plan
A fire engine serving District 1 was shut down to save overtime costs; the city is seeking grants and state or county funding to restore it.
Fire Department Staffing and Response Capacity
Funding comes from a state/federal grant pool distributed by Bay Area UASI, and Hayward's share shrank this year.
Homelessness Down 21% in Hayward
Code Enforcement Liens and Assessments
Penalties and assessments are now being collected through the county — a real financial hit for the affected property owners.
Tennyson Road rail crossing safety
$300,000 in state grant funds for engineering; no local match amount was stated.
Massage business moratorium extension
Police and fire labor agreements
Financial terms of the side letters were not detailed at the meeting.
Massage business regulation
Emergency Operations Center training for elected officials
The CERT program runs on roughly $19,000 in grant funding this year, and staff are watching for additional FEMA grants.
Public Safety Center Siting
No construction funding identified yet; entitlement work could begin now while a longer-term funding plan is developed.
Hillside Emergency Evacuation and Egress
