6. Staff Report 1/16/80 - Continued.
(TF-153)
Councilman Borba asked what impact would
the new sewer connections have on sewer
lines in Old Town in South San Francisco.
Director of Public Services Yee said
a report will be forthcoming in 30 days
on the sewer capacity and will be sub-
mitted to Council.
Councilman Borba expressed concern with
sewer lines that had ruptured and the
capacity of the lines with all of the
developing going on placing a further
burden on the lines.
Councilwoman Teglia was concerned with
the safety of the common greens and the
lack of railings on the steep walkways.
If the developer did not correct these
deficiencies it would put the burden and
cost on the residents for the safety
improvements.
Mayor Mirri asked that railings be
incorporated into the Motion that is to
to be made.
Vice-Mayor Acosta stated that Section
19, 20, and 24 requires those things if
they are certain widths and the affected
department should have made sure the
railings were installed.
City Attorney Noonan suggested a Motion
be made prior to the Resolution which
would say, "Move that the plans be
reviewed for the purpose of determining
whether railings had been placed on any
stairs to be installed and the installion
be required as a condition precedent to
the release of this map." Then when the
map is approved it will be held until it
is amended.
M/S Teglia/Acosta - That the plans be
reviewed for the purpose of determining
whether railings had been placed on any
stairs to be installed and the
installation be required as a condition
precedent to the release and approval of
the map.

Mayor Mirri asked the City Attorney to
explain Councilman Borba's vote of

City Attorney Noonan stated that it is a
Councilman's obligation and privilege,
if he thinks that it may be interpreted
that his actions would be in conflict,
to abstain. If he reasonably forsees
that his actions may financially
benefit himself then he must declare it
and abstain. Many times a Councilperson
will declare a business relationship
with someone and abstain to preserve
objectivity in the eyes of the City.

and approved boundaries for the Marina

conditions to the Resolution which

PARKS AND RECREATION
City Manager Birkelo explained that the
Parks and Recreation Commission had pre-
viously recommended to the Council that
the City regain full possession of the
building because in the past they had been
able to hold programs at the Martin School
but are unable to at present because it is
now an adult school. This necessitates
the vacating of the Paradise Valley Park
Building for the youth of the neighborhood.

PARKS AND RECREATION
13. Staff Report 1/16/80 - Continued.
PARKS AND RECREATION
Director of Parks and Recreation Norton
explained that the City had let the
Neighborhood Services Center use the
building at the time because both Staff
and the Parks and Recreation Commission
felt that Neighborhood Services Center
could better utilize the space than Parks
and Recreation Department. In the past t8
months ~the Parks and Recreation Department
has received numerous letters and phone
calls from residents requesting that the
Parks and Recreation Department provide
recreational services to the area.
Ms. Ortenzia Lopez, representative of the
Neighborhood Services Center, expressed
her feelings that the community was
direly in need of the services of the
Neighborhood Services Center and requested
permission to maintain some services out
of the present location.
Sean Scheper, 132 Claremont Avenue,
expressed his desire to have a larger
activity room at the center than is
presently available. He also expressed
concern in regards to the City helping the
Neighborhood Services Center relocate.
Ms. Beth Weldy, 813 Larch Avenue, stated
that she felt the facility was originally
intended for the children and should be
returned to them.
A senior citizen from the audience spoke
about the good things the Neighborhood
Serv. Center had done to help her and
other Senior citizens living on a fixed in-
come.
Discussion followed regarding the size of
the area, the children's needs and the time
element involved for the Neighborhood Serv.
Center to move.
M/S Teglia/Borba - To inform Neighborhood
Services Center to vacate and the building to
be available one month after July 1, 1980
for Parks and Recreation Department. Also
for Staff to contact the school district

PUBLIC SERVICES
City Manager Birkelo explained that the
lease would be for $509 a month which is
$100 above the cost of the maintenance, so
in essence the City would not be spending
its money in the six months provided for in
the lease agreement. During that time staff
will consider many options including the sale
of the computer.
M/S Borba/Teglia - To sell the qantel
computer.
Councilwoman Teglia expressed concerns that
no one would be willing to buy the machine
outright but would probably want to lease
it and assure themselves of the working
condition of the machine. She felt that
the computer had received a great deal of
notoriety in the past, no fault she felt of
the computer but rather that no one had been
able or qualified to operate it.
Councilman Borba responded that the machine
had never worked and was serving no purpose.

Borba voting yes.

COMMUNICATIONS
City Manager Birkelo explained that the
request had come from the City Engineers from
the Town of Colma and previously there had
been a request to build a fourplex on this
property at which time Council had expressed
concerns. Staff determined at that time
that with such construction they would not
be able to operate with a septic tank and
would have required sewer connection. The
proposal now is to construct a duplex on that
lot if a sewer connection permit can be
secured from the Gity. If unable to secure a
permit then some consideration may be given
to constructing some

action. Currently the only thing Council has

ITEMS FROM STAFF
Councilwoman Teglia inquired if the reports
of vandalism on this block had been done by
the same two families, or was one family
being victimized.
Councilman Mirri questioned if this was pro-
per protocal to be discussing this matter at
an open hearing.
Chief of Police Daztman replied that he had
kept the names of the parties involved private.
He further stated that what he had reported to
Council and the community had been the facts
rather than what was presented by the news
media as being gang vandalism, etc., when
there really were only two families involved
in the incident.
City Manager Birkelo explained that in the
past the Council had taken a position of
opposition to legislation that would impose
compulsory and binding arbitration in the City
for the purposes of public safety salaries.
He respectfully requests Council's reaffir-
mation of their policy in that regard.
Councilman Mirri inquired if Council had any
objections. They said no. He directed
Birkelo to proceed with former Council policy.
Director of Public Services Yee informed
Council that on 1/12/80 he received a call on
2304 Olympic Drive. It was noted that there
was a hole in the back yard 30 ft. in diameter
and 14 ft. deep. By Tuesday the 15th there
had been further erosion. A notice was sent
to all neighbors in the area requesting per-
mission to be able to enter their property
should such erosion occur. The City is
checking the water, sewer, and storm drain
system. The cost estimate will be $8,000.
Councilman Mirri inquired if the responsibility
rests upon the City.
Director of Public Services Yee replied only
as to protect the public's interest.
City Manager Birkelo informed Council that the
Notice which was sent to the property owners
specifically said that the City wants to go in
to protect life and property without any admis-
