expressing opposition to the pro-
posed Ordinance. A copy of the
letter is attached on the following
page.
City Attorney Rogers stated that the
proposed Ordinance Would place a
business license tax on commercial
parking facilities within the City.
He explained that the Ordinance
would change the nature of a violation,
that requires people to obtain business
licenses from an infraction to a mis-
demeanor, "provides that if a tax is
measured by gross receipts then it can
be paid quarterly in advance rather
than annually in advance;" defines
a commercial parking facilitY and an
operator and imposes a license tax
payable by the operator in the amount
of 5% of the gross receipts without
deduction. CitY Attorney Rogers further
explained that the Ordinance would become
operative and the taxes imposed
January of 1982.

MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL:
Dear Members:
In reference to the 5% tax that the City proposes to
assess on Commercial Parking facilities in the City of
South San Francisco:
I believe a more equitable way of raising revenue would
be to study the business license charges now in effect, and if
there is any inequities, correct them. This should only be
done after the City gives the business community a chance to
study said charges.
I feel that no Governmental Agency should have the right
to single-out a business and impose such a high and unjust
tax, as this tax has no relationship as to whether the business
is making money or not, and certainly, this works as a dis-
advantage to the small business, trying to establish itself in
the community.
The city, to date, has held itself to be a City being
business orientated; and to attract businesses from other cities,
the commercial parking tax would alert a business that this is
a fore-runner of additional business taxes, to be assessed to the
business community, as the City of South San Francisco is presently
undertaking.

CITY ATTORNEY
City Manager Birkelo commented on
taxes which had been imposed on
parking facilities in the area.
City Attorney Rogers stated that
the proposed Ordinance would repeal
a section of the current Business
License Ordinance pertaining to
street vendors.
Mr. David Van Atta, Attorney at Law,
255 California Street, San Francisco,
representing Park 'N Fly, asked if
the City was going to hold a Public
Hearing on the proposed Ordinance.
City Attorney Rogers replied that
there would not be a Public Hearing,
however, public input would be accepted.
Mr. Van Atta expressed concern re-
garding the proposed business license
tax and indicated that time should be
given to those businesses which would
be affected by the tax to present
arguments at a Public Hearing.
Mayor Teglia commented that a meeting
had been held previously, at which
time testimony had been received from
Mr. Loius Poletti, Mr. John Penna and
representatives of various operations
in South San Francisco. She stated
that based upon their testimony the
proposed rate had been lowered from
8% to 5%.
Mr. Van Atta reiterated his concern
that further testimony be received.
Vice Mayor Addiego stated that Mr.
Van Atta could present his arguments
at this evenings meeting or at the
meeting of September 1, 1982, when
the Ordinance would have its second
reading.
Mr. John Penna, 435 Grand Avenue,
South San Francisco Chamber of Commerce
representative, stated that the
Chamber of Commerce was strongls

opposed to the proposed Ordinance.
He spoke of the affect on various
businesses and rental of commercial
parking spaces. He indicated that
the Chamber of Commerce was also
opposed to the setting up of a
"mechanism for the City to go out
and start doing a gross sales tax
on all receipts in the community."
Discussion followed concerning the
amount of reserve revenues available;
maintenance of the current level of
service provided by the City to the
residents; cuts which had been made in
the 1982-83 budget; and steps which
were taken by the City to generate
revenue.
Mr. Milton Bronstein, 608 Lassen
Streeet, expressed concern about the
business climate within the City.
Mr. Chavez, Parking Company of America
representative, requested that the
proposed tax rate be lowered to 4% and
explained the logic for this proposal.
He spoke of the number of parking
spaces available and the amount of
anticipated revenues to be received by
the City.
Mr. Jake Jones, ll2 E1Campo Drive,
expressed concern that the proposed
tax rate increase had not been placed
on the ballot for a vote by the
people.
Mayor Teglia responded "I am not sure
that it was ever a question of taking
your right away. I think four years
ago we discussed this particular tax.
Proposition 13 passed and there was a
great deal of clouding as to whether
or not the City could attempt to
levy such a tax. Finally, in the end
this City decided that it would take
its chances and if the only way that

we could get this tax addressed, would
be to put it on the ballot and attempt
to get a two-thirds majority of our
voters, that we were willing to try.
We went that way, we were set to go. We
took all of the appropriate actions.
It just happened that a Supreme
Court decision came down, just about
on the deadline; in fact we had to
have an emergency meeting to pull it
off the ballot. That decision said
that we didn't need to go to the ballot
on this issue. So that we could save
$5,000 and if we wanted to impose this
tax, we could do it through-'~ the legis-
lative process. I tend to believe that
the voters of the community expect us
to do that which we can do, unless there
is a very controversial issue and its
pretty clear; then I think you go to
the vote for advisory votes and what
have you.
Mr. Jones reiterated his concern that
the right of the people to cast their
vote had been denied in this matter and
spoke of other forms of taxation within
California which had not been placed
on the ballot.
Discussion followed concerning the
basic rights of all persons; the
purpose of Proposition 13; possible
consideration of lowering proposed
tax rate at a future date.
M/S Acosta/Addiego - To waive further
reading of the Ordinance.
Carried by unanimous voice vote.
M/S Damonte/Addiego - To amend the
Ordinance to reflect a 4% tax rate..
Councilman Nicolopulos inquired if
Mr. Chavez and the other parkin9
facilities in South San Francisco
were in accord with a 4% rate.

Mr. Walter Birkelo

400 Grand Avenue
South San Francisco, California
Dear Mr. Birkelo,
94O80
In accordance with Ordinance No. 835-80 Section 3 adopted by the City
Council of South San Francisco August 20, 1980, Western TV Cabl~ is hereby
filing notice of intention to adjust its service'rates effective NoVember 1,
1982. '"
Section 15b (21) of Ordinance No. 835-80 provides that Western TV Cable
may adjust its basic service rates and charges By an amount not in excess
of seventy-five percent (75%) of the percentage increase in the San Francisco/
Oakland Urban Wage Earner and Clerical Worker CPI Index occurring since
the previous rate adjustment.
The attached data from the Bureau of Labor. Statistics indicates during
the moSt recent twelve months (June, 1982 vs. June, 1981) the index has
increased to 303.4 from 274.3. This represents a 10.6089% increase. ~-
Seventy-five percent (75%) of this change equals 7.956G%, the maximum
permissable adjustment. As is evident from the table below our proposed
rate adjustments are less that would be totally authorized By the applicable
ordinance.

Multi-dwelling and other commercial accounts shall be billed in accordance
with Resolution No 103-78 (referenced in Ordinance No. 835-80 Section 3)
at a rate not to "exceed 40% of the primary outlet charge established
for single-use premises for the first receiving set or apparatus in each
living unit and a sum not to exceed the same monthly charge for a secondary
outlet in each living unit."
The adjustments listed will be the only changes in our rate structure
for a period of at least twelve months. I hope that if any part of the
above does in any way impair your full recommendation of this filing
to the City Council that you will contact me at your earliest convenience.
Western TV Cable continues to feel the public is well served by its dedication
to providing live cablecasts of the South San Francisco City Council
Meetings. Your installation in the council chamber of the new audio
system has immemsurably improved the quality of this program. I hope
to announce soon capital expenditure by Western TV Cable which will further
enhance the viewability of these cablecasts.

Councilman Nicolopulos expressed
concern over the proposed additive

costs would be excessive and that
the items would provide no practical
use for the residents and indicated
that he would prefer to see the addi-
tional costs used for the provision
of an indoor pool for the citizens.
Mayor Teglia commented that the
amenities which had been proposed
were brought about by the members
of the Westborough community and
were addressing their concerns and
needs for the development of the

CITY OF SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO
INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Date August 18, 1982
TO: Me~mbers of the City Council
SUBIECT: Appian Way Park
FI~O1V[: Park and Recreation Commission
COP~S TO:
At their regular meeting of July 22, 1982, the Parks and Recreation
Commission voted 5-0 to recommend that City Council consider bidding
the entire Appian Way Park project without additive alternates. Our
position is based upon three factors:
1. The Additive Alternates would all have to be computed
separately, thus, resulting in a high bid price.
2. In these times, the City will probably receive the
lowest bid it can expect.
3. The public, who participated in the design, expects
everything on the Master Plan.
Understanding the fiscal restraints facing the City, we urge your
consideration of our request.
