AGENDA REVIEW
So ordered.
City Manager Birkelo stated that one
item of concern was a recent amendment
to AB2905 (Thurmand) which had been
submitted to Assemblyman Willy Brown.
He stated that the amendment would prohibit
lawsuits over noise against airports
where the airport either met current
state standards or was operating under
a variance. He stated that a copy of
the bill was not available from Assemblyman
Papan's office. He stated that San
Bruno had taken action to oppose this
action to the bill and suggested that
this Council do likewise to oppose the
bill.
Mayor Teglia asked what grounds the
San Bruno action had been based upon.
City Manager Birkelo stated that San
Bruno did not feel there was any justi-
fication to remove a City's right to
take legal action if they felt there
was justification.

RECALL TO ORDER:
ACTION TAKEN
Mayor Teglia stated that the guidelines
established to consider agency requests
for a period of time, such as three or
four years, and then the agencies
should be weaned from a dependency upon
City funding. She stated that some
agencies because of on-going needs did
not fall into the weaning process.
Vice Mayor Addiego expressed concern
over the on-going community needs the
agencies met versus the weaning process.
Mayor Teglia stated that she was not
comfortable with increasing any of
the agencies over prior year funding
when there had been cuts in department
budgets and in consideration of new
agency requests.

funding requests and the following
awards were made by Consensus of

Neighborhood Services Center - $15,000;
