AGENDA REVIEW So ordered. So ordered. No action taken. So orderd. So ordered. 2/22/84 Page i AGENDA ACTION TAKEN 261 ORAL COMMUNICATIONS ORAL COMMUNICATIONS Mr. Don Parrish, 132 Escanyo Drive, expressed concern over the new ordinance regarding bingo games and stated he thought it was to be on the agenda tonight - which it was not. He stated that he was not representing a group, however, Council knew he had been active for sometime in developing bingo games for some groups that meet once a year and who depend on the bingo games to develop funding in which to operate within the budget for the coming year. He stated that these groups had come to the Police Department and had asked for permits and had been advised of a State Resolution that weighs heavily on what happens in this City, but not in other cities in the State of California; that someone or some group has taken it upon themselves to turn down a standard one time shot, a once a year bingo game, for a group that has depended on this quite heavily in the past. He stated that in looking at the Resolution it could be interpreted many ways and wanted an opinion as to what the City plans and why. Mayor Addiego stated that the City had chosen to find a way to regulate bingo games in order that the community could share in the proceeds. He spoke of the State laws addressing this issue. Discussion followed on why Council had selected this particular time to address the issue of bingo games and the current City bingo ordinance. Vice Mayor Haffey expressed concern that the subject of the proposed ordinance had been in the newspapers before coming to Council. Chief of Police Datzman explained that he felt it was premature for Council to become involved in policy as it related to the bingo issue until it was ready for presentation. He stated the Police Department was concerned with the Penal 2/22/84 Page 2 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN ORAL COMMUNICATIONS ORAL COMMUNICATIONS Code and how those codes are interpreted as related to gambling activities. He stated that the Police Department tried within the confines of the Penal Code to permit local organizations to conduct legal fund raising activities. Mr. Parrish asked when the bingo ordi- nance would be before Council for consi derati on. Chief of Police Datzman explained that after the last meeting with the community organizations, there had been several issues raised. He stated that the issues were given to the City Attorney for clarification within the proposed bingo ordinance, and upon completion by the City Attorney, those parties concerned with this matter would be notified in advance of the time Council would con- sider the ordinance. Discussion followed concerning prior requests by organizations wishing to raise funds by means of bingo games and the restrictions under the current ordinance. Chief of Police Datzman stated that the article which had appeared in the newspaper had occurred because a community organization involved in the discussions on the proposed ordinance had prepared a packet and sent it to the press. Mr. Lawrence Pera, 758 Baden Avenue, expressed concern with the 5 minute limit for speaking before Council. He stated that other members of the community were allowed to speak for longer periods of time. He continued and expressed concern regarding the sewer system on Baden Avenue; sewer taxes; paving on Mission Road; that he was unable to contact the Mayor by phone; placement of Magnolia building on Agenda and the closing of various public schools in the City. 2/22/84 Page 3 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN 2G3 CONSENT CALENDAR 1.

Councilwoman Teglia stated that her ori- ginal understanding of HCDA funds was that a target area had been recognized and was bounded and that it did not extend to the Westborough area. Director of Community Development Dell'Angela explained that in the propo- sal the area was being expanded to include projects outside the target area. He explained that many of the pro- posed projects might not be funded because they did not qualify under the low income criteria, however, it would be beneficial to the City to go on record as being interested in funds for projects outside of the target area. Discussion followed on the criteria which had been set forth by the County; and that the highest priority need for funding was to address the housing needs of low and moderate income people. Director of Community Development Dell'Angela continued to describe the proposals: 7) a pilot project for an older mobile home park adjacent to the South San Francisco High School, he explained that the area needed upgrading and that the proposal addressed the needs of elderly persons, commenting that by working with a private owner there was the possibility of getting either a combination of grants and/or low interest loans to upgrade the project; 8) access handicap program; 9) drainage improvement in the Second and "C" Street area; 10) Linden Avenue storm drain at Hillside.
