• Assembly Bill 470 passed out of the Assembly Education Committee with nearly unanimous bipartisan support. The vote was 6-0.
AB 470, authored by Assemblyman Kevin Mullin, D-South San Francisco, is intended to protect “categorical” funding for the development of school safety plans.
These plans are developed by education experts in conjunction with law enforcement officers and make sure that school staff and administrators are adequately prepared to address violence and disasters at public schools, according to Mullin’s office.

City government
• The city of Burlingame is moving forward on a promotional video of its downtowns that will be played at local hotels. At a December 2011 study session, the council expressed an interest in such a video. In February, a request for proposals was set to 10 local video firms and Burlingame residents identified as having the skills necessary to create such a video. Five complete proposals with budgets were received. After being vetted by a subcommittee, Electrify Media Productions was selected, according to an update that will be approved by the council Monday.
The $11,500 production may need to be re-edited to include focus after the Burlingame Avenue upgrades are in place. Prior to getting started, the boards of both the Downtown Business Improvement District and the Broadway Business Improvement District as well as the managers of city hotels will meet with Burlingame’s Economic Development Specialist Leslie Parks and Michael Higashi, principal of Electrify Media, to answer questions and discuss ideas.
The council meets 7 p.m. Monday, May 6 at City Hall, 501 Primrose Road.
