Budget Manager Tribby advised that EDG'S first project in 2012 was South City 101, which was a series of workshops modeled on the Citizen's Academy but geared towards employees. This helped increase collaboration between departments and gave participants a greater understanding of how each department works towards city goals. Principal Planner Beaudin explained that the Internal Talent Exchange Program was a cross- departmental management opportunity that grew out of the EDG meetings and discussions. This round included projects with HR, Finance and the City Manager's Office.

Waive reading and introduce an ordinance adding Chapter 10.70 of the South San Francisco Municipal Code regulating hotel guest registers. REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING MARCH 13, 2013 MINUTES PAGE 8 Police Sergeant Campbell presented the staff report supporting introduction of a proposed ordinance establishing hotel guest registry regulations. He advised that hotels, motels and other businesses that offer short-term lodging accommodations provide services to the transient population under secrecy from public scrutiny. Additionally, such spaces also have multiple points of unrestricted entry and exit. These characteristics lead to challenges for law enforcement agencies with respect to human trafficking activities. Human trafficking is the fastest growing crime and the second leading criminal industry throughout the world today. As such, San Mateo County has seen an increase in human trafficking at local hotels and motels. As a result, Chief Massoni and the South San Francisco Police Department have been working in collaboration with Congresswoman Jackie Speier and local hotels and motels to cornbat this problem, Sgt. Campbell advised that although local hotels provide law enforcement with hotel logs upon request, there are many occasions where information is inadequate or not obtained at all. For example, a common name with no other identifying information might be reported on the registry. This often occurs when people make reservations through third party websites which usually omit their address, credit card information, etc. Guests then give their name and are provided with a key and checked into the room. If unlawful activity takes place, there is no way to identify a person with such a common name. The proposed ordinance would require hotels to obtain specific guest information during check in, such as true names, addresses, vehicle information and identification. The ordinance would require hotels to record that information and make it available to law enforcement upon request. Establishing a uniform guest registry program would aid and identify human traffickers and others engaged in criminal activity to include identify theft, narcotics, trafficking and other crimes. There are currently 27 hotels and motels operating in the City of South San Francisco. In 2010 alone, there were 3,050 incidents associated with those hotels. Of those incidents, 564 formal investigations were generated that resulted in 1,606 arrests. Several of the cases remained unsolved due to the lack of identity information. Sgt. Campbell advised the Police reached out to the Chamber of Commerce to discuss the proposed ordinance. As a result, a meeting was held on February 8, 2013 and was attended by a majority of hotel managers and representatives. It was apparent that most hotels were supportive of the proposed ordinance, with the only concern being privacy rights. The hoteliers were assured that this ordinance is consistent with state and federal law regarding privacy rights. Further, in the City of Los Angeles, a similar ordinance was upheld by the courts. Jim McGuire, General Manager of the Best Western Grosvenor, supported the ordinance and believed the Police Department was basically asking hotels to do their job. Mr. McGuire advised of meetings at his hotel with Congresswoman Jackie Speier who is very passionate about the issue of human trafficking. He noted that every hotel should take information like guests' respective driver's license, credit card, address and phone number. He reiterated his support for this ordinance and thought that it would be a good way to protect the City and the reputation of its hotel community. Mayor Pro Tern. Matsumoto fully supported the ordinance, but questioned how it would be monitored and enforced. REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING MARCH 13, 201.3 MINUTES PAGE 9 Sgt. Campbell advised that officers frequent the hotel strip on patrol. Through those checks, they would usually contact the hotel clerks to inquire on any suspicious activity and look at the registry to see if there are any names recognized from past unlawful activity events. Councilman Garbarino stated his support for the proposed ordinance and was pleased that all hotels and motels would have to comply. Councilman Gupta also stated support for the ordinance. He questioned whether all room occupants would have to show ID. Sgt. Campbell responded that only the person checking into the room would have to show ID. Councilman Addiego asked Sergeant Campbell for a clarification on the numbers he had given. Sergeant Campbell re-iterated that between 2005 and today there had been 160 formal investigations of 182 escorts and/or pimps which resulted in well over 100 arrests. The Police Department has built a database that identifies over 460 escorts and 70 pimps. Councilman Addiego, inquired as to the penalties for noncompliance. Sgt. Campbell clarified that the penalty would be an infraction. Pursuant to the Government Code, the first offense is a $100 fine, the second a $200 fine and the third a $500 fine. At this point, the violation would move to a misdemeanor with a financial remedy. Motion- Councilman Addiego/Second-Councilman Garbarino: to waive reading and introduce an ordinance adding Chapter 10.70 of the South San Francisco Municipal Code regulating hotel guest registers. Unanimously approved by voice vote. ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS 9. Report on options for expansion of Matagrano, Distribution use. Assistant City Manager Van Duyn outlined the options for reviewing land use entitlement for the expansion of Matagrano Distributors on to a two acre vacant property adjoining their current facility. Generally, permission for the expansion would require significant amendments to the City's general plan. Staff had outlined the primary policies that would require review, proposed amendment, public hearing, action and evaluation by the Planning Commission and ultimately by Council as well. Assistant City Manager VanDuyn next advised on the primary policies that clash with the current request to expand use within the particular zone. The General Plan designation for the site indicates business and Technology Park. Accordingly, the proposed increase in warehouse use would not be consistent with the current General Plan policy. The General Plan is fairly comprehensive and addresses elements including land use, transportation and environmental policies. Thus, there are policies that have to be reviewed with this amendment to possibly include other changes that would go beyond what was recorded in the staff report this evening. Along with the General Plan amendment, a text or zoning amendment would be required to allow the use to be located in what is now the business and technology park zone. Staff recommended that Council pursue the option of an overlay zone, which would be the least difficult way to accommodate the intended use. However, he cautioned that with amendments, other companies may follow suit and seek to set up warehouses in the affected area. REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING MARCH 13, 2013 MINUTES PAGE 10 Mayor Gonzalez queried whether any representatives of Matagrano's were present. Assistant City Manager Van Duyn noted that a year ago, he had met with the Matagranos. Essentially, these options were part of their discussions when they met, so this would not be new information. Councilman Addiego stated he was sure that staff was relaying the options, but in his recent conversations with Matagrano executives, it did not seem as though there was a full understanding of the possibilities. Councilman Garbarino stated that the Matagrano Company was waiting for a green light to submit an application. Councilman Addiego, added that Matagrano's is a viable business that should be celebrated and encouraged. He stated that he liked the transition South San Francisco was undergoing, but was not willing to turn his back on a valuable business that has hired and supported South San Francisco families for many years. Mayor Pro Tern Matsumoto had major concerns. She referenced visions for a separate industrial corridor in the area concerned. The overlay zone would be setting precedent. She stated that she would like to get feedback from the biotech companies on the issue, Councilman Gupta noted that while working with the Planning Commission and Planning staff, he always visualized any particular area or zoning as part and parcel of the overall picture of the City. He added that there were good arguments on both sides. In this particular case, the options outlined were feasible. On the other hand, he was concerned with the statement that this would open the door for other interested parties to apply for similar treatment. City Attorney Mattas stated that the concept of an overlay zone provides the City the opportunity to designate the lands appropriately. The way to narrowly tailor an overlay zone is by maintaining the general thrust of the general plan and being very specific about the particular lot at issue. Overlay zones are commonly used in the planning process to be able to address very unique circumstances. Mayor Pro Tem Matsumoto reiterated her concern that even if Council decided to go with a narrow definition for the overlay zone, it would set a precedent for other companies with similar interests. Assistant City Manager Van Duyn noted that size or existing use could be one of the criteria used to narrow the definition and limit any resulting precedent. Mayor Gonzalez shared the concerns outlined by Mayor Tern Matsumoto and Councilman Gupta. He advised staff had been approached in past years by other property owners east of 101 wanting to expand. At one time the City exchanged properties but he had not heard that option in this instance. He wondered whether the City could exchange a property in order to find a more suitable land use. He noted that the City had open lots in the South Airport area that might be more suitable for warehouses. REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING MARCH 13, 2013 MINUTES PAGE 11 Assistant City Manager Van Duyn noted that the City itself does not have any property that could be exchanged for this type of activity but there is zoned property privately available for additional warehousing. Councilman Addiego was a little disappointed that it was so easy to walk away from the past. He noted there are jobs that will stay within the City if the business is permitted to remain viable. City Manager Nagel queried whether a majority of Council supported pursuing options for considering the Matagrano expansion. Councilman Garbarino stated that he supported reviewing the options. Mayor Pro Tern Matsumoto wanted to make sure that this would not be signaling that Council was fully on board, since the biotech companies still had to be consulted on the issue. Councilman Gupta added that the process could be started, but it should not signify Council support for an approval. Mayor Gonzalez stated there was general support for reviewing the options. COMMUNITY FORUM None, 530141111-selist Being no further business, Mayor Gonzalez adjourned the meeting at 10:02 p.m. in honor of Eduardo Haro and Rosalie Montgomery.
