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

None discussed.

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.
