Top issues during term (20)
Domestic Violence Awareness speaker series event

None discussed.
Political signs on public property
2026 Recreation Events and Community Programming
Entry fees alone could bring in roughly $7,000, plus parking and vendor fees, if the event is approved.
Affordable housing local preference
No direct fiscal impact; the policy shapes who gets affordable units, not city spending.
Safe Routes to School project contract amendment
The amendment would add about $77,000 to a $3.2 million state-funded project, bringing the contract to roughly $419,480.
Calls for accountability from censured Council Member DiGiovanni
The two independent investigations into her conduct cost the city about $100,000.
St. George Orthodox Church expansion at 1617 Southgate Avenue
Pickleball court shortage at Gellert Park
Updating rules and signs costs little (a couple weeks of work), but re-lining courts runs about $2,500 per court and the full Westlake resurfacing is $295,000.
Status of Women in Daly City Report
No direct cost yet, but the data could support future policy proposals with budget implications.
Westlake Park Public-Private Partnership with The Olympic Club
The Olympic Club would put up $10 million over 20 years, but critics say residents would effectively subsidize a private club through reduced tax treatment and lost public access.
Boards and Commissions Overhaul
Modest — $50 per attended meeting for commissioners citywide.
Commercial Cannabis Equity Regulations
Not specified in the materials provided.
