M/S Acosta/Damonte - To adopt the
Resolution.
RESOLUTION NO. 56-82
Carried by unanimous voice vote.
City Clerk Battaya read the entire
title of the Ordinance into the
record.
City Manager Birkelo explained that
following the approval of the Assistant
City Manager position, there were no
amendments made to the Municipal Code
to provide for the full range of respon-
sibilities delegated to the position.
He stated that the Ordinance contained
the same basic authorization which
had been in resolution form previously.
He commented that the City Attorney
had indicated that it was legally
appropriate to address these respon-
sibilities in the form of an ordinance,
thereby becoming a part of the Municipal
Code. He stated that the Assistant
City Manager during the absence of the
City Manager would have the authority
to sign contracts that had previously
been approved by the City Council. He
said that the second ordinance to be
considered addressed the issue of
bonding to cover the responsibilities
of the Assistant City Manager and the
issuance of a bond in the amount of
$500,000. He indicated that this
action was "a procedural clean up
matter to allow for the expeditious
handling of City business in the ab-
sence of the City Manager."

CITY MANAGER
M/S Damonte/Nicolopulos - To waive
further reading of the Ordinance.
Carried by unanimous voice vote.
M/S Damonte/Acosta - To introduce the
Ordinance.
Councilman Acosta inquired what the
costs of the bonding would be and
the period of time the bond would
cover.
City Manager Birkelo stated that the
cost of the bond would be approxi-
mately $700 annually per person,
and that the bonds were purchased
for a 3 year period.
City Manager Birkelo, in response
to Councilman Acosta!s inquiry,
stated that the Assistant City
Manager would assume the duties
of the City Manager only during
the absence of the City Manager.
Mayor Teglia expressed concern
that the Ordinance did not contain
wording to the effect that the
Assistant City Manager would assume
those duties only during the absence
of the City Manager. She said "the
way this is written, it seems that
whenever we are talking about City
Manager, we are also talking about
Assistant City Manager. And you
could very well be in your office
and he could very well sign. And I
find that objectionable."
City Attorney Rogers stated that
when writing the Ordinance he had
tried to allow for a certain amount
of flexibility, so that if the need arose
in the future the Ordinance would
not have to be amended.
Mayor Teglia stated that she would
prefer not to have this flexibility
within the Ordinance, and if in the
6/2/82

future it were to become necessary,
the ordinance could be amended to
include this flexibility.
Discussion followed concerning the
need for two signatures on checks
and warrants; and the persons
authorized to sign, etc.
Councilman Acosta read a portion of
Section 2.22.030 of the proposed
Ordinance which stated "directs the
'City Manager' to sign a document,
the term 'City Manager' shall include
the Assistant City Manager." He said
he interpreted the wording to mean
the person appointed by the City Manager
to be Acting City Manager in his absence
as having the authority to sign documents.
Mayor Teglia stated that the City
Attorney had indicated that he had
built in the flexibility within the
proposed Ordinance so that either
the City Manager or the Assistant
City Manager could sign documents and
that Councilman Acosta's interpretation
of the wording was not accurate under
the proposed Ordinance. She asked
City Attorney Rogers if that was correct.
City Attorney Rogers replied that
it was correct.
Discussion followed concerning the
setting of policy.
City Manager Birkelo said "your dealing
with responsibilities that you expect
my office to carry out on your behalf
in terms of administration. I am
fully prepared to take responsibility
for signatures made by anybody represent-
ing me, as long as I fill the office
of City Manager. I do not personally
feel there are any risks to the City
by having this flexibility built into
the Ordinance."

Council policy could be worded "the
term 'City Manager' shall also in-
clude any officer or employee of
which the Assistant City Manager
would be one of those, of the
City when said officer or employee
is acting as City Manager." He asked
if the bond which covered the City
Manager, also covered the person
designated as Acting City Manager.
Director of Finance Lipton explained
that there were two types of bonds:
1) bonds which named specific persons
and specific sums of money; 2) an employee
blanket bond for the remainder of
employees for the City for a sum
total of $50,000.

Director of Community Development
Dell'Angela requested that Items Nos.
lO and ll be considered as a joint
public hearing since they were closely
related.
Mayor Teglia declared the Public
Hearing open for Items l0 and ll.
City Clerk Battaya read the entire
title of the Ordinance aloud for
Item No. ll.
Director of Community Development
Dell'Angela explained the issues
which were addressed by the proposed
Ordinance in relation to defining
arcades and establishing the require-
ment that Use Permits shall be required
for a permit for 3 or more coin
operated machines in an establishment;
establishes a procedure for review
by the Police Department for appli-
cations for placement of amusement
devices in business establishments;
sets forth penalties and sets forth
procedure for obtaining a business
license for operation of an amuse-
ment arcade. He stated that Section
6.44.090 of the proposed Ordinance
states "that no persons shall allow
a minor under eighteen years of age
to play or use a coin operated amuse-
ment device during the academic year
of the South San Francisco Unified
School District between the hours
of 7:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., except

noise, loitering and littering by
juveniles. He said that although
Staff had recommended a five (5)
machine limit, the Planning Commission
after considering testimony received
at the Planning Commission meeting
determined that three (3) or more
machines should constitute an amuse-
ment arcade.
Director of Community Development
Dell'Angela proceeded to explain the
proposed Ordinance which would amend
sections of the City's Zoning Ordinance,
which would redefine an amusement ar-
cade as being three (3) or more machines
on any one premise and would allow
arcades only subject to Use Permits
in the C-1 Zone. He said that C-1
Zones were generally large shopping
centers, which have sufficient parking,
certain provisions for security and
maintenance, and in most instances
are sufficiently separated from
residential areas.
Fire Chief Drago said that by regu-
lating the machines it would
provide the Fire Department with
better.control of exit ways and crowds.
Lieutenant Haskins commented on the
concerns of the Police Department
with the proposed Ordinances related
to potential problems of loitering,
congregation of large numbers of
youths, plus drug and alcohol use. He
said that the proposed Ordinance
addressed the potential problems
without severely restricting the
rights of business persons and
allows the input of residents and
the Police Departmemtn through the
Use Permit process.

Dell'Angela said that a Supplemental

to the City Council meeting, indicating
a desire to withdraw the request for
continuance and that the matter be con-
sidered based on the conditions
specified by the Planning Commission

which he had received, he was not pre-
pared at the present to consider the

Mr. Theodore Tronoff, Project Engineer,
commented that Broadmoor Homes had been
concerned with the passage of a legis-
lative bill affecting the energy stan-
dard requirements in new developments.

Staff Report 6/2/82 reviewing the
traffic concerns at the intersection
of Grand and Magnolia Avenues and
approve the recommendation of the
Staff to install pedestrian warning
and No U-Turn signs and not install
a traffic signal.
PUBLIC SERVICES
Director of Public Services Yee
gave an explanation of the prior
events concerning this matter. He
stated that Staff had met with
the parents of the students at
the Roger Williams School and dis-
cussed the various alternatives to
the traffic problems at the inter-
section of Grand and Magnolia. He
said that it had been the consensus
of the parents with whom he had met
that a traffic signal be installed
at the subject intersection and that
he contact SAMTRANS and request re-
location of a bus stop.
Captain Swinfard of the South San
Francisco Police Department, at the
request of Mayor Teglia read an Inter-
office Memorandum dated June 2, 1982,
concerning additional information on
the intersection of Grand and Magnolia.
A copy of the Inter-office Memorandum
is attached as Pages 19a - 19d.
Mr. James Elmore, 642 Commercial
Avenue expressed concern for the
safety of the children attending
the Roger Williams School in re-
lation to the traffic conditions
at the intersection of Grand and
Magnolia Avenues.
Mrs. Michelle Reece, 333 "A" Street,
commented on the need to provide a
safe environment for the children
attending the Roger Williams School
when crossing the streets.
Mrs. Larson, 343 Avalon Drive,
spoke of the traffic conditions
at Grand and Magnolia Avenues and

explained that the basic objections to
the 4-way stop sign as an interrupted
flow of traffic on Grand Avenue; and
possible pedestrian danger. He said
that the problem with a signal was
basically the same as with the 4-way
stop sign but had an additional
factor of cost.
An in-depth discussion followed con-
cerning the number of students using
the crosswalks at the intersection of
Grand and Magnolia Avenues; amount of
traffic in the area during school hours;
the need to instruct children of safety
precautions when crossing streets.
Director of Public Services Yee ex-
plained that new signs had been
placed in the area advising motorists
of school children crossing; visible
signs stating "25 Miles an Hour"
had been placed in the area also.
Captain Swinfard commented that a
program would be offered to the
parents, at the beginning of the
school year, outlining the safe
routes to school.
Discussion followed concerning the
input by the parents of the students
at Roger Williams School; number of
accidents occurring within the past
5 years; cost of installing a traffic
signal; specific concerns of parents.
Mr. David Basquis, 757 Del Monte Avenue,
commented on the average speed limit
in the area; enforcement problems;
etc.
Mayor Teglia requested that the Police
Department contact the Roger Williams
School administration and parents of
the students in order to institute a
safety program for the benefit of the
parents and children; that Council
