Mark Salinas

Tobacco retailer license enforcement and youth protection

Violation fees go to the general fund; revoked retailers lose legal non-conforming status and cannot reapply.

Data centers could bring property tax, impact fees, and utility users tax revenue, but also diesel generator emissions and grid strain.

Grant eligibility improvements could bring significant regional and state transportation and housing funding to Hayward.

Business license tax modernization

Estimates range from $13-21 million in new annual revenue (union estimate), though a prior assessment suggested less.

The city is still hunting for $2-4 million in extra savings, and 94% of revenue goes to pay and benefits.

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.

City Hall second-floor renovation during budget crunch

Up to $516,614.85, not from the general fund, per staff.
