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

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.

Park neighborhood building.
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.
Discussion followed on the specific cri-
teria used for HCDA funding of certain
projects; process used in determining
allocation of funds; priorities for low
income areas; the options open to com-
munities to request funds for specialized
needs, etc.
