concern that the City had denied
the request of the Citizens Action
League to serve alcoholic beverages
at a recent picnic to be held in
connection with the culmination of
the San Bruno Mountain Initiative
effort. According to an article in
the San Francisco Progress, dated
September 13, 1981~"The City was going
to allow beer and wine under the Permit
because it assumed only about one
hundred people would be there." He
stated that this quote related to
the picnic which W. W. Dean intended
to hold. He proceeded to request
information in the event CAL should
hold a victory party after the ballots
are counted: 1) "Is the City use
park requirements now different than
they were at the time we had our picnic?"
2) "Would we be allowed to serve at least
beer?" He further indicated concern
over the proposed recreational center
which W. W. Dean had offered as a gift
before the Public Hearing to adopt
the Concept Plan for the development of
San Bruno Mountain was held. He asked
"who paid for the notices sent home with
the school children explaining that
the picnic was cancelled."
Director of Parks and Recreation Norton
in response to the question regarding
park requirements, stated that the policy
had not changed. He explained the back-
ground in issuing the permit for CAL's
picnic and the permit for the W.W. Dean
picnic.
Director of Parks and Recreation Norton
in response to the question regarding
the serving of beer at a future picnic
stated that alcohol is not permitted
in public parks with the exception of
beer and wine in designated areas. The
only area which is currently designated
is the Orange Park picnic area.

illegal. It does not change the
Ordinance except in defining how
the signs would be removed.

1st Reading/Introduction
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE SOUTH
SAN FRANCISCOMUNICIPAL CODE AND
ORDINANCE NO. 554, AS AMENDED,
ENTITLED "AN ORDINANCE IMPOSING
A TAX UPON THE PRIVILEGE OF TRANS-
IENT OCCUPANCY AND PROVIDING FOR
THE COLLECTION THEREOF"
(TF-1682)
(TF-1739)
FINANCE
City Manager Birkelo explained that
a year ago Staff had noted that
most cities were eliminating the
exemption whereby airlines or other
companies could book rooms in local
facilitimfor 30 days or more, thereby
being exemp% from tax because our
Ordinance reads "person" and a person
can be interpeted to mean a ~ompany.
By changing the] definition of
transient to individual rather than
person would mean that that same body must
occupy that room for 30 days before
qualifying for exemption. The hotel
operators.as represented by Mr. GUbner,
Associate Director of San Mateo County
Restaurant and Hotel Association,
had serious reservations regarding the
impact of this change upon their business.
Therefore, Council agreed with the
concurrence of Staff to delay the
effective date of that provision for
one year, so that as of July 1, 1981,
the exemption was eliminated. The
concerns of the industry are the same
now as they were then, Staff has met
with!members of the Restaurant and Hotel
Association to discuss this matter
and it is requested that the Ordinance
be amended back to "person."
Mike Gubner, representative of
the San Mateo County Restuarant and
Hotel Association, stated that it
was the concern of the Association
that the hotels in the area remain
competitive with those in the area.
He pointed out the relative issues
which were employment, taxes, and
real estate. He continued to
outline the amount of tax related
to the number and cost of rooms
rented out. He proceeded to submit
to Counci].a. letter addressed to
Mr. Frank Mesta, General Manager of
the Royal Inn, from the Philippine
Airlines, dated 9/14/81 requesting
a 60 day notice of termination on
the contract due to the increased
Transient Occupancy Tax.

He proceeded to explain the total

due to the loss of the contract.
An in-depth discussion followed
concerning the amount of tax
which the City would be receiving
with the exemption and without it;
the number of rooms used as con-
tract rooms, etc.
Jim Raine, General Manager of
Grosvenor Airport Inn, in response
to Councilman Addiego's inquiry
regarding the negotiating of a
contract for services between
an airline and a hotel, stated
that if an airline refused a
contract it was up to the hotel
to consider the options and if
plausible they could renegotiate.
M/S Damonte/Teglia - To reinstate
the exemption with a reevaluation
by Council in one year.
Mayor Nicolopulos asked if the
Motion would change this agenda item.
Acting City Attorney Rogers stated
that the Motion did not affect
the introduction of the Ordinance.
Discussion followed on the time
element involved, wherein it was
concluded that the hotels would
continue to charge the 8% tax
until January 1, 1982 when the
exemption would become effective.
Carried by unanimous voice vote.
M/S Teglia/Acosta - To waive further

City Manager Birkelo explained that
Daly City had taken action to make a

before Council took action on this
matter perhaps they should receive

other cities were not paying their

because the City does pay its other
Boards and Commissions $25.00 a month,

ITEMS FROM COUNCIL
Vice Mayor Teglia stated that she had
been advised that Pacific Express
Airlines was offering discount fares
from San Francisco to Los Angeles and
the airline had ordered some "state of
the art quiet craft." These planes will
not be available for 2½ years and in the
interim purchased some British made
BAC'lll which are not part of the fleet
which arrives and departs from San
Francisco International Airport currently
and since they do not meet the Federal
Noise Standards, will not be able to fly
in and out of San Francisco International
Airport even though quieter than many
planes now in use. This airline now
has the option of flying currently
acceptable craft at SFIA which may be
noisier than the BAC-lll. South San
Francisco will be impacted in that the
planes will be using the shoreline de-
parture route.
Parlen L. McKenna, Vice President
Legal/Labor Relations, Pacific Express
Airlines, stated that he had been
invited by Vice Mayor Teglia to ex-
plain the various problems which the
airline had been facing and to clarify
the issues cited in the newspaper
article she had read. He indicated
that the airline was proposing to bring
the Airline Deregulation Act into
full implementation on the West Coast.

He continued that the East Coast has
benefited by substantially lower fares
by a number of carriers.
Mr. McKenna further stated that the
information received from the FAA
indicated the BAC-111 was substantially
quieter than the majority of the
aircraft being operated currently into
SFIA. He further related that in
1978 the San Francisco Airport Committee
had passed a Resolution which said in
effect that any commercial aircraft
type which was not operating at that
time would not be able to operate unless
granted a variance by that committee.
He indicated that presently the BAC-111
was being operated at SFIA, and explained
that Pacific Express had not been granted
a variance at this time. He stated that
he was preparing to present the case
to the Airport Commission on October 20,
1981.
Discussion followed as to the maximum
weight of the aircraft when taking off,
and other safety and noise factors.
Vice Mayor Teglia stated that she
felt this matter should be discussed
at the meetings for the Round Table
and JPAC; and that the City should
consider supporting the airline request
for a variance from the Airport Commission.
Mr. McKenna stated that it was the
position of Pacific Express that a
variance was not necessary having been
grandfathered in based upon the fact
that the BAC-111 had been operating out
of the SFIA prior to and subsequent to
1978. He indicated that when he appears
before the Aiport Commission they will
agree based upon the evidence that will
be submitted, that a variance was not
necessary and that the airline will be
grandfathered in. He then requested that
Council adopt a Resolution supporting
the proposed operation which he presented.

particular matter.
Vice Mayor Teglia requested that
Staff follow-up with information
pertaining to the Aiport Commission
either granting a variance or grand-
fathering in the use of the BAC-111
by Pacific Express. She requested
in the interim that Staff gather infor-
mation on this particular plane and
that Council inform the members of
JPAC of what was taking place. She
remarked that perhaps Mr. McKenna
would like to present his information
to the JPAC meeting and if he were
not able to attend then to send a
representative.
Councilman Acosta stated that he
had attended an ALUC meeting and
that there would be a Public Hearing
on the proposed development in Redwood
City near the San Carlos Airport.
Vice Mayor Teglia expressed concern
and felt that the new developments
should have aviation easements built
around the perimeters.
Discussion followed on the noise levels
in the surrounding areas and the future
impact upon other cities.
