He spoke of the certain group of people causing gang destruction who were some- times caught by the Police and then put back out on the streets to cause more damage. He stated that there were City parks in the area which parents were afraid to allow their children to pay in because of the gang activity. He stated that the Police patrols were always patrolling the Gateway Project and felt that the Police should give the same consideration to the Airport Boulevard area to make the businesses and the parks safer. Mayor Addiego stated that Mr. Elmore had brought this to his attention and that he had spoke to the Police Chief and that his understanding was that more patrols were being seen in the area. He stated that he had asked that the patrols go through the park and by Mr. Elmore's store. Police Chief Datzman stated that he had made a computer run for the last year and a hal f in terms of the activity of Mr. Elmore's business, and that there had been one burglary and one attempted, and four disturbances. He stated that the majority of the calls are traffic and parking problems - twenty nine of them. He spoke of the attempt being made to alleviate the situation through addi- tional patrol s in the park; stopping the destruction done by young people in the park. Mr. Elmore stated that it was true there were more patrol s, however i f the City did not do more than what it was doing the situation would become much worse. He stated that if he got a citizen com- mittee out there the City would not need the police for that would make sure the area was cleaned up of crime. 10/24/84 Page 2 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN 221 ORAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMUNITY FORUM Discussion of the impacts of the passage of Proposition 36 on the November 6, 1984 General Election. A RESOLUTION OPPOSING PROPOSITION 36, THE JARVIS IV INITIATIVE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT ORAL COMMUNICATIONS Mayor Addiego requested the Police Chief to look into the incidents with proximity to the freeway with the transits and see if it is a hot spot. Police Chief Datzman stated that Mr. Elmore had told him that the neighbors were upset and he had asked that he volunteer to organize a neighborhood watch program. Mr. Elmore stated that the residents in the neighborhood are not going to be involved because some of their children are responsible. He stated that one business had to shut down and spoke of business windows being broken; losing 16 and 17 year old help because of the parents being afraid of their children working in that neighborhood. Mr. Lawrence Pera, 758 Baden Avenue; spoke of the nice family businesses on Grand Avenue who helped every one out and stated that the City had to help the small businesses; putting a pond with goldfish at City Hall; getting guards to patrol small businesses. COMMUNITY FORUM Mayor Addiego stated that Staff had invited various people to speak in oppo- sition to the passage of Proposition 36. He stated that he had contacted Les Kel ting, the head of the group supporting Proposition 36, and he was interested and would try to work it into his schedule, however he had not yet arrived. City Manager Birkelo stated that this was the last regular meeting prior to the election in November and the last oppor- tunity for the Council to review the information that has been developed by various groups that there were problems in Proposition 36. Mr. Richard P. Simpson, Executive Vice President California Taxpayers Association, stated that his organization 10/24/~4 Page 3 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN 232 COMMUNITY FORUM Discussion of the impacts of the passage of Proposition 36 - Continued. II I COMMUNITY FORUM opposed Proposition 36 as well as 13. He stated that Proposition 13 on remection has been a real boom to the taxpayers by property taxes being saved. He con- tinued, on the other side of the coin an acquisition of property made after 1978 will pay a tax increase because of debt requirements. He stated that the central issue was that it was not fair because property owners who have owned their property from 1973 will receive a tax refund and a lower assessment and that those properties that have been built or bought since 1978 will get a tax increase through Proposition 36. He stated that the renters of properties will pay larger rents because the pro- perty owners will pass on the additional tax that has to be paid. He spoke in great detail of the effect upon cities with the passage of Proposition 36: impairs the ability to provide services because it prevents recovery of all costs incurred in pro- viding the services; continues and increases the shift of power from local government to the State; produced a no growth economy; impairs public credit~ etc. Mr. Tom Gaffney, Superintendent South San Francisco Unified School District, stated, that if Proposition 36 passed the schools would receive a reduction in State funding - $134.00 per pupil loss out of current revenues. He spoke of the resultant reduction of teachers from prior State revenue cuts an~ the programs cut because of the shortage of funds. He stated that the school budget was made up of 60% from State funds and 40% from pro- perty taxes. Ms. Betty Thanos, South San Francisco League of Women Voters, stated that Proposition 36 would change many of the 1978 legislation: Disallow the in~atlon 10/24/84 Page 4 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN COMMUNITY FORUM Discussion of the impacts of the passage of Proposition 36 - Continued. COMMUNITY FORUM adjustments that had been applied prior to 1978, and require refunds to taxpayers with 13% interest; Limit overrides of the 1% property tax to bonded debt only; Restrict the use of fees and bene~t assessments; Require approval by two- thirds of the local electorate (or two- thirds of the Legislature) for any change in local or state taxes that would increase any tax on any taxpayer. Mr. Walter Johnson, President Retail Clerks Union #1100, stated that his group opposed Proposition 36 for many of the reasons already stated and the fact that it would penalize cities in trying to raise the most basic of public revenues and introduce County rule to the cities. Director of Finance Lipton presented a comparison report on how proposition 36 would affect taxes in this City which showed the net property tax of a $155~000 home bought before 3/1/75 with a net pro- perty tax of $230; and a home bought after 3/1/83 would have a net property tax of $1,553. Mayor Addiego asked if individual Councilmembers which to give input on this item before a motion was made to adopt the Resolution. Councilman Damonte stated that he had spent years in education, which the passage of this measure would pose a severe hardship in the future. He said on the other side he was a home owner living in the same home for many years and that the savings that he would realize was not worth enough to counter the loss to this City and the educational system. Councilman Nicolopulos stated that even though he too would benefit from the passage of Proposition 36 if passed it was not worth the hardships which it would impose on the schools and the City. Vice Mayor ~affey stated that he also was concerned with the loss to the schools and 10/24/84 Page 5 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN COMMUNITY FORUM Discussion of the impacts of the passage of Proposition 36 - Continued.

City Attorney Rogers stated that there was no convict of interest unless Councilman Damonte could realize a finan- cial gain or if it was a source of income which was different than the com- munity at large. He stated that the issue here was a use permit and the requirement was that the ~nding had to be made that the use was not consistent with the General Plan. Councilman Damonte stated that the deli at the same location had been given a use permit. City Attorney Rogers stated that that use had been allowed under a different General Plan. City Planner Gorney had denied the use permit based on the following findings: The proposed use is contrary to the pur- pose of the C-9 Commercial Office Zone; The proposed use is not similar in nature to uses permitted in that zone; The pro- posed use is not consistent with the General Plan and should be properly located in an established shopping cen- ter; That the use is contrary to the farm-related nature of previous use per- mits; etc. Mayor Addiego opened the Public Hearing and invited those wishing to speak in favor of the denial to step to the dais - no one chose to speak.

He stated that the premises were not clean, however he would be happy to clean up the site and make it an attractive entrance to the City. He stated that the business would be more of a bakery than a restaurant because it was a take out order business. Mayor Addiego stated that a letter had been received from Robert C. Kerop!an, Principal of E1 Camino High School, which was in opposition to the City granting the use permit because it would be very disruptive to the overall environment and discipline of his school.

Police Chief Datzman stated that he had received a call from the Principle who had expressed concern about the dell and the potential crime problems in the area, He stated that there had been some problems in the area with students off campus and narcotics on the campus which had been cleaned up. He stated that if the question was whether the particular use might contribute to the loitering - it would not impact it.

Consideration of a request by Project Reach for an additional $1,000 in Revenue Sharing Funds. FINANCE Director of Finance Lipton stated that the City's four maintenance districts were funded solely by property tax reve- nue, and while there was yearly growth in tax revenue based upon increased assessed valuation, there are reasons which cause an unequal effect on the districts, for which the Fund was intended to act as an equalizer: Assessed valuation increases a minimum of 2% per year and new construction and sales of properties increase values, but not equally among the four districts; Extraordinary main- tenance problems may affect one district to a greater extent. Mayor Addiego opened the Public Hearing and invited those wishing to speak in favor of the item to step to the dais - no one chose to speak. He then invited those wishing to speak in opposition to the item to step to the dais - no one chose to speak. He then closed the Public Hearing. Discussion followed: that Willow Gardens needed more work than was being provided; rather than switching funds, should use capital improvement funds; let the districts that are faillng fail and put the money on the assessment district it belongs with; how another means of funding the common greens could be found; if the increase of maintenance does not match the increase of assessed eva- luation, then the districts are in troubl e, etc. Consensus of Council - To instruct Staff to not redistribute the funds but use the original County allocatlon and have Mr. Yee see if the districts can function.
