He pointed out to Council the route which
the pipeline supposedly will be running.
Mr. Gene Gallagher, General Manager, San
Francisco Water Department, explained to
Council that there had been four alternates
presented in the beginning. The major
problem was the rerouting of traffic while
installation of the pipe was taking place.
Mayor Mirri inquired as to the length of
time for the construction. He had under-
stood that the time was estimated to be
one year to eighteen months.
Councilwoman Teglia expressed concerns that
the overall time was important but also the
duration of inconvenience to residents and
to the onward movement of traffic.
Mr. Gallagher replied that most streets
would be somewhat incapacitated for a period
of eight days and not longer. Although
this did not include the time for permanent
repaving.
An in-depth discussion proceeded as to the
original pipes being installed in the late
1800's and of the necessity to install this
pipe for water usage through the cities of
Brisbane, South San Francisco, and other
peninsula areas.
Councilman Borba expressed concern that
Council had not been notified of this
earlier.
City Manager Birkelo explained that he had
held a meeting in his office last year
around April showing the different routes
that San Francisco Water had recommended.
Councilman Borba said that some residents
had received notice of this and that others
hadn't and he wanted to know why.
Mayor Mirri informed Councilman Borba that
the notices which had been sent out were
sent by the City and County of San
Francisco.

Mr. Nito from the Planning Department of
the City and County of San Francisco ex-
plained to Council that the residents who
were notified had taken part in a survey
they had conducted earlier.
Mr. Pedro Borusko, 601 Walnut Avenue, South
San Francisco, expressed his concerns that
the construction once begun would take
longer than explained. He also stated his
dismay at not being notified as to the
plans of the City of San Francisco.
A lengthy discussion followed as to the
route and the amount of time needed for
installation of this pipe. The City of
South San Francisco felt that a public
hearing should be held so that the citizens
of South San Francisco could express their
ideas.
Mr. Gallagher explained that a public
hearing could take place when they applied
for their Encrochment Permit.
Mayor Mirri inquired if the City of South
San Francisco could file an appeal on the
Negative Declaration.
Mr. Birkelo replied that the City had filed
an appeal but it had been rejected for lack
of reasons for appealing.
Further discussion followed among Council
and Mr. Gallagher from the City of San
Francisco as to reconsideration of the
route and the informing of residents of the
alternate routes available.
It was the consensus of Council and Staff
that they should further investigate this
matter before any action could be taken.
Director of Public Services Yee explained
to Council that this was the line that runs
under Highway 101 and that it is imperative
that it be repaired as quickly as possible.
City Manager Birkelo explained that the
City could purchase the materials now and
save cost rather than waiting until after
the matter had gone to bid.
