Staff Report 2/6/80 - Continued. ACTION TAKEN PUBLIC SERVICES - Continued. 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. 2/6/80 Page 7 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN PUBLIC SERVICES - Continued. 18.

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. 2/6/80 Page 8 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN PUBLIC SERVICES - Continued. 19.
