Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Daly City public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Boards and Commissions Overhaul
A new ordinance would standardize how all city boards and commissions work — $50 per meeting, attendance rules, and a clear process for removing members who miss three meetings or 20% of meetings — after quorum problems sidelined a commission.
Commission's advisory relationship with the City Council
Commissioners noted the commission has never been consulted on major city policy and debated what a consultative role should look like — without slowing city decisions. The mayor reportedly texted support for forwarding items to the commission, and a formal proposal will come to a future meeting.
Senior services funding from San Mateo County
Two county grants — congregate nutrition and senior center activities — were accepted, keeping senior meal and activity programs funded for FY 2026-27.
FY 2027 mid-cycle budget adjustments
Mid-year operating and capital budget adjustments for fiscal year 2027 were on the consent agenda, affecting how city funds are allocated for the year.
Vehicle License Fee Reimbursement
Councilmember Manalo reported on Sacramento advocacy to win back vehicle license fee dollars owed to the city — money that flows straight to the general fund.
Master Fee Schedule Updates
Daly City updated its comprehensive fee schedule, adjusting costs for various municipal services and permits.
Fund the Future Report Feedback
Commissioners discussed their feedback on the Fund the Future report, sharing perspectives on future funding and community investments.
