The Council took several actions that could affect how the city is run and how residents use streets and parking. It advanced four proposed charter changes, including public works contracting, city manager claims authority, council vacancy rules, and raising council and mayor pay to $6,000 and $9,000 per month. It also directed staff to draft stricter parking rules, including a 1,000-foot vehicle movement requirement for the 72-hour parking limit and bans on vanlording and inoperable trailers on city streets. In transportation planning, the Council approved Caltrain station access concept plans as an unfunded project for the next budget cycle and asked for possible quick-build and traffic-calming options.
