“Thank you very much. All right, we're close to the end. I'll call the public's attention to item 17.1. And Gabe and Jessica, thank you so much. Thank you for that item. I'll call the public's attention to item 17.1, our notice of final map. Let's see, you can find that information online. We are gonna go to our first and only public comment on non-agenda matters this evening. Normally we have two. We ran a very efficient meeting tonight, so we're down to one. Are there any members of the public in council chambers who wish to make comment on any items not listed on the agenda?”

“Thank you. Thank you to my colleagues. They've covered most of the ground, but let me clarify a few points here, just get them clear in my head. So we're talking about the chance to potentially secure an extra $2 to $4 million in grant funding. Is that roughly annual? Are the funding cycles roughly annual?”
City Council · Jul 28, 2026

“That's helpful. So we're talking about roughly, on average, a million or so dollars per year to the city?”

“I misread that slide, thanks for the clarification. And in terms of staff costs to elevate us in that grant competition, clearly there's a lot of time involved and potentially some other funding as well. Do we have a rough estimate into what it costs the city, what it would cost the city to pursue any or all of these options and make ourselves more competitive?”

“The way you just summarized it is helpful. Thank you very much. And then the slides that showed the hypothetical projects and the impacts on developers, those were helpful. Are there some very rough, I'm asking for back of the envelope, estimates of the cost for developers? I mean, I'm assuming when I'm reading pedestrian access upgrades, we're talking sidewalk work, lighting, other kinds of electrical. Those costs can add up. Do we have a rough sense of what this would cost developers doing projects in those areas?”

“That's what I wanted to hear. Thank you very much for that. And what you can hear me poking around at a little bit here comes from my background as a grant writer. And it's often tempting to become very focused on obtaining the grant while forgetting what the ancillary costs are, either for us as a city or for the developer. But it sounds like the benefits clearly outweigh the costs in this instance. And that's what I was trying to clarify. Let's see, just a couple more questions here. Gabe, can you go back to the ministerial housing possibility? I can't tell if staff is in favor of that or…”

“Thank you. All right, and my final question. And this goes back to the slide where we were talking about downtown parking. And there was a note there, if I read it correctly, a kind of a very diplomatic note that parking infrastructure can absorb current demand but has limited supply. Given the interest in city parking from downtown development, are we starting to shift from our years old feeling that we had a surplus of parking downtown more parking than we can use to now, looking at the demand from incoming developments, we're a little bit more concerned about our long-term parking supply…”

“All right, thank you. I just wanted to make sure I was reading through the lines correctly. That's it for my questions. Anything else from council? Let's open it up to public comment. Let's start with Abby. Santa Rosa Yimby.”
