Staff Report 6/2/82 recommending: a) Introduction of an Ordinance which establishes signatures as required of officers or employees of the City: 1) Motion to waive further reading of the Ordinance; 2) Motion to introduce the Ordinance. 1st Reading/Introduction AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 2.22 ENTITLED "SIGNATURES" TO THE SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO MUNICIPAL CODE CITY MANAGER 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." 6/2/82 Page 4 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN CITY MANAGER 9. Staff Report 6/2/82 - Continued. 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 Page 5 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN !68 CITY MANAGER 9. Staff Report 6/2/82 - Continued. CITY MANAGER 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." Vice Mayor Addiego explained that 6/2/82 Page 6 AGENDA ACTI ON TAKEN CITY MANAGER 9.

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.

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.
