Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Daly City public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Mussel Rock Landfill Planned Retreat Plan
The council approved another Tetra Tech contract amendment to finish the landfill retreat management plan required by the Coastal Commission — after one member raised concerns about the firm's recent $57 million false-claims settlement.
GIS local history program
After looking into Oakland's community archive model, staff concluded Daly City can't replicate it — it's run by a third-party archivist. Instead, they suggested a GIS mapping project of historically significant local places via a grant, and trustees said go for it.
Energy efficiency upgrades to city facilities
War Memorial, both libraries and the Public Works yard get HVAC and LED upgrades through a $2.6 million design-build contract financed over 10 years at 4.11%. Since the old equipment is failing anyway, the city expects to net over $1.5 million in savings long-term.
Peninsula Clean Energy rebrand to WestLight Energy
The council agreed to a JPA amendment renaming Peninsula Clean Energy to WestLight Energy this May. Residents keep the same 10% discount and clean energy service — only the name changes.
Commercial Dog Walking at Thornton State Park
Residents say commercial dog walkers unload 8-20 dogs at a time, ignore the two-dog leash limit, and are degrading the park's ecosystem — the coyote population is gone and waste litters the trails. The city has laws on the books; speakers want enforcement, not petitions.
