Haffey ~ Gus Nicolopulos MINUTES City Council Municipal Services Building Community Room May 28, 1986 0 12 AGENDA ADJOURNED REGULAR MEETING CALL TO ORDER: (Cassette No. 1) ROLL CALL: AGENDA REVIEW Discussion of the following Propositions on the June Ballot: Proposition No. 46 Property Taxation; Proposition No. 47 Allocation of Vehicle License Fee Taxes to Counties and Cities; Proposition No. 49 Nonpartisan Offices· 0-~/.~--.~ ACTION TAKEN ADJOURNED REGULAR MEETING 7:23 p.m. Mayor Teglia presiding. Council present: Council absent: Nicolopulos, Haffey, Addiego, Drago and Teglia. None. AGENDA REVIEW City Manager Birkelo stated that he had nothing to add to the Agenda. He stated that at the last meeting there had been a debate on the merits of Proposition 51 after a previous endorse- ment by the Council. He stated that there were three other issues that Council had not publicly reacted to, but tonight was the opportunity to consider them briefly and decide if Council should take a stand on the issues. He stated that Proposition 46 would reauthorize general obligation bonds for local government upon approval of 2/3 of the electorate. He continued, this was true before Proposition 13, after Proposition 13 when the ability to authorize increases in the property tax rate for general obligation bonds was eliminated. Cities did find ways to borrow money through revenue bonds, cer- tificates of participation which are more expensive than the general obligation bonds. He stated that in the voters pamphlet, there was not an argument against this issue; however the local newspaper, Times Group, had indicated an objection to it. He stated that their philosophy was that any borrowing should be supported out of 5/28/86 Page i AGENDA ACTION TAKEN 1. Discussion of Propositions on the June Ballot - Continued. the current budget, rather than by asking the voters, 2/3 of the voters, to approve additional funding. He cited an example as that of improvements and expansion of Orange Park. He stated that this would not only cost money to acquire, improve and maintain but the benefits would accrue to future generations. He stated that that was a good example of the type of public improvement that lends itself to the general obligation bonds financing. He stated that it was hard for him to believe that the project would not be worthwhile if the City got 2/3 of the City's voters to approve it. He stated that the municipal services building would not exist today if the City had not had the option that was available at that time, because it was two months before Proposition 13 was approved. He stated that it was his recommendation that the Council go on record, by Motion, approving a yes vote on Proposition 46. Councilman Drago stated that he could not support Proposition 46 as he felt that it was an attempt to weaken the intent of Proposition 13. He stated that he was not sure that the Council should go on record supporting any proposition, especially Proposition 51, with all of the confusion going on in the State right now, Vice Mayor Addiego stated that it did weaken Proposition 13 in an area where the Proposition itself was weak to begin with, and it is up to the people to look back and see if that is the best thing for today. He stated that local government was incredibly accountable to the citizenry and this Proposition required 2/3 vote. He stated that it gave the government a tool, general obligation bonds, for financing the long term improvements. He stated that if the public was not interested in that, it would not take much to muster 34% against an issue which had been done in the past ten or twelve 5/28/86 Page 2 AGENDA ACTI~ON TAKEN 1. Discussion of Propositions on the June Ballot - Continued. years. He stated that the minority was protected by this 2/3 provision which gave the legal entity the right to pursue general obligation bonds. Councilman Haffey stated that he would agree with Councilman Drago if this par- ticular Proposition said it was 51%, because it then would be a true weakening and would really destroy the spirit of Proposition 13. He continued, with the requirement of 66-2/3 vote on Proposition 46 for general obligation bonds, he did not think it weakened it, but gave an opportunity for taxpayers to save money using this vehicle. He stated that it was a cheaper route of financing, and yet the people could control it with only 34% of the vote. He stated that he agreed with Councilman Drago, if it was 51%, there was no way that he could support the Proposition. Councilman Nicolopulos stated that general obligation bonds had been the survival of the cities and then Proposition 13 came along. He stated that a 2/3 vote was safe ground that should be seen by people and it would allow local government available options. M/S Haffey/Addiego - To endorse a yes vote on Proposition 46. Carried by majority roll call vote, Drago voted no. City Manager Birkelo stated that Proposition 47 would constitutionally grant the gas tax to local government. He stated that several years ago when the legislative government got in trouble they used the tax money, and that this Proposition would serve as a safeguard to guarantee that the taxes came to local government. Mayor Teglia stated that she was going to vote for this Proposition as she remem- bered when the State took away the taxes. She stated that the State collected the city resource, however, it was never a revenue for the State to use. 5/28/86 Page 3 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN 0215 1.

Battay~k City of South San Francisco M/S Addiego/Haffey - To endorse a yes vote on Proposition 47. Carried by unanimous roll call vote. City Manager Bi rkelo stated that Proposition 49 would assure that local elections were nonpartisan. He stated that that this Proposition was more controversial than the others, yet historically city elections had been non- partisan for many years. He stated that this would prevent partisan politics endorsing people running for local offi ce. Vice Mayor Addiego stated that this would eliminate the party activity, but not the individual activity. Mayor Teglia stated that local elections would include County, Schools and Special Districts. M/S Haffey/Drago - To endorse a yes vote on Proposition 49. Carried by majority voice vote, Nicolopulos voted no and Addiego abstained. M/S Haffey/Drago - To adjourn the meeting.

Staff Report 5/28/86 recommending: 1) Open the Public Hearing and hear testimony; 2) Close the Public Hearing; 3) Motion to deny the appeal based upon the findings in the staff report. staff report, i.e., the request is not consistent with the spirit and intent of the original Use Permit approval; the request is not consistent with Condition No. 15 of UP-85-743; the request is not consistent with Policy 9-3 of the General Plan; the request, as proposed, may be adverse to the public safety and may be detrimental to surrounding properties and improvements. Mayor Teglia invited those wishing to speak in favor of the appeal to step to the dais. Dr. Robertson stated that one of the requirements placed upon him had been to widen Hickey Boulevard, which he did not feel was his responsibility. He stated that he had a petition from all of the merchants in the shopping center stating that their businesses had been damaged by the Planning Commission's demands for improvements to the shopping center by the owner. He stated that the conditions would be met as soon as possible, however the vacant stores had reduced revenue. He stated that allowing the bakery to move into the shopping center would enhance the other businesses. He stated that the City had been using occupancy of the stores as a ransom for him to do the work, which he felt had been successful, yet he wanted the baker to occupy the store and he would put up a bond in exchange for that occupancy. 5/28/86 Page 7 AGENDA COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT & ADMINISTATION 12. Staff Report - Continued. ACTION TAKEN 0223 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT & ADMINISTRATION Deputy City Manager/City Engineer Yee stated that the cost of improvements would be $43,000 to effect. City Manager Birkelo stated that he had talked with Dr. Robertson yesterday and had told him that the street work would be $43,000 and that 20% of the estimate of the work would have to be covered by cash or a bond that would be tied into an agreement. Discussion followed: that a 100% bond should be put up to ensure that the work would be done; whether Dr. Robertson would effect the improvements. Mr. Walter Spengler stated that he wanted very much to open the bakery. Mayor Teglia invited those wishing to speak in opposition to the appeal to step to the dais - no one chose to speak, and she closed the Public Hearing. Councilman Drago questioned the total amount of improvements to be made in the shopping center. City Manager Birkelo stated that it would be at least $60,000, if not more. Mayor Teglia stated that she had researched the Use Permit going back to 1978 and had found that Dr. Robertson had a history of agreeing to put up money for improvements that were never effected. Dr. Robertson stated that he had investi- gated the cost of the improvements, had presented plans, yet there was always something wrong with the plans each of the six times they were presented. He stated that this time the engineer had seen the plans even though they were not yet complete. He spoke with concern of: the property he would lose by making the improvements; the ratio of parking for 5/28/86 Page 8 ^CT O 0224 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT & ADMINISTRATION 12. Staff Report - Continued. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT & ADMINISTRATION the retail spaces; that the improvements would limit the value of his property for future development. Vice Mayor Addiego stated that he understood Dr. Robertson's frustrations; however, the Government was spending money on the roadways surrounding the property and required plans for future development. Councilman Haffey stated that he was in favor of a performance bond for the work to be done and questioned why the recom- mendation was not in the staff report. Discussion followed: on a series of use permits; that rather than requiring a performance bond, require an escrow account be set up that was tied to an agreement that would make the improve- ments be effected; and if the work was not performed, the City would do it and take the money out of the escrow account to pay for the improvements. City Attorney Rogers recommended that the Council not approve any occupancy until the money for the improvements was in an interest bearing account in the bank and Dr. Robertson's signature was on an agreement. He stated that then the City could draw the money out of the bank to pay for the improvements and Dr. Robertson could not. He stated that in having the money in the bank in an escrow account and an agreement to perform the work, then on specific dates when Dr. Robertson had not begun the improvements, the City could effect the work after the plans were approved. Consensus of Council - To continue the item until an agreement is effected and money deposited into an escrow account. 5/28/86 Page 9 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN POLICE POLICE 13.

CO MMUN I CATIO NS COMMUNICATIONS 14. Letter dated 5/20/86 from Thomas J. Callan, Jr. respectfully requesting that the City Council reopen its hearing of 5/14/86 on UP-86-755 for the sole purpose of hearing an expert from the geotechnical con- sulting firm of Harding Lawson ~~ Associates orally testify and answer Council questions concerning the proposed retaining wall. The letter states that Harding Lawson Assoc. is the firm hired by the City to review and make recommen- dations to the City of the proposal made by Mr. Callan's experts. Mike Galligan, Esq., stated that at the last meeting there had been a number of people with questions in the hearing in reference to the hill, and that Council had addressed their concerns to Mr. Yee who had not known the answers to the questions. He stated that the City had designated a firm that had reported to the City on the proposal by Mr. Callan and had found the proposal feasible. He stated that the Council had not heard from the hydrologist Mr. Callan had paid for to prepare an extensive ana- lysis on the proposal. City Manager Birkelo stated that the City Attorney had been asked to research the matter procedurally. City Attorney Rogers stated that he had been asked at the meeting what the stan- dard was for an EIR. He had related that if the Council found substantial evidence, the project could have a significant effect on the environment, and then an EIR had to be prepared. That was the end of the discussion. 5/28/86 Page 10 AGENDA COMMUNICATIONS 14. Letter - Continued. ACTION TAKEN 0226 COMMUNICATIONS He reiterated in detail the response he had made at the earlier meeting and advised the Council not to reopen the Public Hearing. Vice Mayor Addie§o stated that some mem- bers of the Council had concerns in this particular area and there had been questions, and the answers had not been sufficient. He stated that because of that, there was insufficient opportunity to weigh the facts - in fact, there was an absence of facts. He stated his main concern was and continues to be traffic, yet the issue being addressed was soil stability. City Attorney Rogers stated if the project was to have a substantial impact on the environment, traffic, or through slides, the Council must require an EIR. Discussion followed: if the letter was requesting Council to reopen the hearing and glean evidence from the testimony; concern voiced from the residents on the stability of the hill; that Council had reports from the hydrologist and the engineer that addressed the hill and the traffic; that Mr. Callan had lost the prospective tenant, Orchard Supply, because of the six month delay through the requirement of an EIR: that if there was no tenant for the project, an EIR was not required. Continued discussion followed: that traf- fic reports had been completed in 1977, 1980 and in February of 1986; that Staff had originally recommended a Negative Declaration which had been overruled by the Planning Commission and an EIR had been required without purusin9 the reports from Mr. Callan; the amount of money Mr. Callan had expended on the various reports; that some Councilmembers were dissatisfied with the tone of the 5/28/86 Page 11 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN 0227 COMMUNICATIONS 14.

Mayor Teglia stated that when an item was referred back to the Planning Commission for further consideration, it encouraged people to treat the Commission as a serious entity. Councilman Halley stated that he could appreciate the nine volumes Mr. Callan provided, however, it was unrealistic to expect that Council would read documents of this magnitude for every project pre- sented to the City. He stated that the Council counted upon the Staff to analyze these types of documents and report to Council through their expertise. ITEMS FROM STAFF Discussed in Closed Session.
