Council present: Council absent: Nicolopulos, Addiego, Drago and Teglia. Halley. The pledge of allegiance was recited. The invocation was given by Pastor McFarland of First Assembly of God Church. PRESENTATIONS Mayor Teglia invited Senator Elect Quinton Kopp to the dais and congratu- lated and wished him well in his new elected office. Senator Elect Kopp thanked the Mayor for the warm wishes extended to him in this very serious undertaking. He stated that he hoped to make an announcement in the next few days with respect to one of the more important facilities in the carrying out of his duties, which may bring even more cheer to this City. He spoke in detail on: the democratic process of elections; walking away after an election with a dedication to making the lives of those he represented better; his strong conviction on home rule and local control; his abhorrence of State legislative mandates to force local governments to carry out programs of a higher level of service for which the State fails or refuses to provide money; his fight for a fairer local share of sales tax. Mayor Teglia stated that in the extensive news coverage of the Senate election Mr. Kopp had indicated an interest in 11/12/86 Page I AGENDA ACTION TAKEN PRESENTATIONS ORAL COMMUNICATIONS PRESENTATIONS locating an office in North County, which the City would prefer being in South San Francisco. She stated that she applauded his support to fight for the existing rail service on the peninsula and impro- vements at the San Francisco end, which the Council had supported for many years. Senator Elect Kopp assured his continued support of the Caltrans service. Mayor Teglia presented Senator Elect Kopp with a Proclamation commemorating the Fiftieth Birthday of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge after reading it aloud. Senator Elect Kopp thanked the Mayor and stated that the Proclamation would repose in a place of honor at San Francisco's City Hall. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS Mr. Ed Brown, Business Agent for Local 250, stated that his union was one of the unions on strike at Kaiser Hospital on E1 Camino Real. He stated that he appre- ciated being allowed to present the issues in the strike, and ask for Council assistance in its settlement. He stated that Kaiser was trying to force conditions on the union that it could not accept, and the union was going out into the community throughout California to elicit support. He stated that the strike involved 10,000 union members in Northern California, 9,000 of which were from Local 250. He stated that the main issue was a two-tier wage system which the union members felt very strongly about and had fought for many years. He stated that the mem- bership was working very hard: to turn the trend back; help the members help the economies of the cities where the members resided; help the Kaiser Hospital perform 11/12/86 Page 2 AGENDA ORAL COMMUNICATIONS ACTION TAKEN 00017' ORAL COMMUNICATIONS at a level of patient care to which the members aspire. He stated that this was not just an eco- nomic self interest, but also a quality of patient care issue that made the mem- bership worried about the two-tier wage proposal that Kaiser was forcing on the union. Mr. Art Valaska, Executive Secretary of San Mateo County Labor Council, stated that he was trying to intervene in this strike and reach a settlement in the dispute. He stated that he was a resi- dent of W. Winston Manor and was con- cerned that Kaiser was not giving the best health care to the community, in that his child had a heart disorder. He stated that the two-tier wage struc- ture encompassed the setting of wages at a different rate that was a percentage of the existing rate for new employees that was significantly below the wages of existing employees. He stated that the new employees coming in were predomin- ently young with families, and that this created a lower class which unquestion- ably would lead to dissension in the work place. He stated that this had been noted in the airline industry, specifi- cally pilots, which now the airlines planned to abolish the two-tier wage structure they had had for three years. He stated that the two-tier system created dissension and morale problems. He stated that when paying people who have the lives of your clientele in their hands, such as pilots and Kaiser people, the pay differential was a very bad thing. He stated that there were families that could not afford houses in their com- munity, even with two working parents, and now Kaiser was talking about cutting those wages. 11/12/86 Page 3 AGENDA ORAL COMMUNICATIONS ACTION TAKEN ORAL COMMUNICATIONS He stated that the people on strike were taking a stand, not for themselves but for future generations. He urged the Council to recognize the need to take a stand and call upon Kaiser Hospital to as speedily as possible end the dispute in a fair manner and pay the new people a fair wage so they can lead a decent type of life in their community. Ms. Cindy Molina, 140 Fir Ave., stated that she had grown up in this City and had worked at Kaiser as a LVN for twelve years. She stated that she was insulted by the proposals being offered by Kaiser. She stated that she gave good care to her patients, and Kaiser was saying that she was incidental to their patient care. She urged the Council to give their sup- port to the strikers, and encourage Kaiser to settle the dispute. Ms. Janie Grindy, Circle Court, stated that she had worked at Kaiser for eight years, and feared that if the two-tier wage system was effected she would be out of a job. Ms. Alice Martin, 214 Wildwood Dr., stated that she was deeply concerned for the quality of patient care because of what was taking place at Kaiser today, in that people were not working together. Ms. Helen Wright stated that she had been a resident of Serra Highlands for twenty- seven years and had been involved in numerous volunteer efforts for the com- munity. She stated that she had worked for Kaiser for six years as a medical transcriber, which she enjoyed even though it was very stressful. She stated that her main concern in this dispute was that Kaiser was demanding the right to unlimited subcontracting, which was a very real threat to her job, and that Kaiser was already sending 11/12/86 Page 4 AGENDA ORAL COMMUNICATIONS ACTION TAKEN ORAL COMMUNICATIONS transcribing jobs to Daly City and San Bruno. She stated that if work was being sent out from her department it could be sent out from other departments, and South San Francisco would be the loser. Ms. Mary Jamison, 7 Almond Ave., stated that she had worked for Kaiser for ten years as a LVN and was concerned with the two-tiered system which she believed would decrease patient care through less experienced nurses applying for the jobs do to the lesser wages. Ms. Denise Grodes, 408 Hemlock Ave., stated that she had worked in the Admitting Dept. for Kaiser for nine years in the part time capacity of three days a week. She stated that her concern was that if someone else wanted to work five days a week at a lesser rate she would be out of a job. She stated that Kaiser had asked for a wage freeze, yet people on social security had received increased premiums and a raise - which she felt was unfair. Ms. Herdis Gudmun stated: that she was an RN at Kaiser; that the two-tier hiring system that Kaiser proposed did not include doctors and administrators; that consumers in some areas were paying lesser dues than what Kaiser was asking the members to receive through a pay cut. She stated that as a registered nurse she was honoring the picket line out of con- cern for the patients, as she did not feel it was safe for the patients in the hospital during the dispute. She stated that x-rays, pharmacy and the laboratory were vital to patient care, and she did not feel the patients should be in the hospital until this was settled. Ms. Janis Teeters, 83 Fairway Dr., stated that she had worked at Kaiser for 181~ years, and that her main concern with the 11/12/86 Page 5 AGENDA ORAL COMMUNICATIONS ACTION TAKEN O001.SCt ORAL COMMUNICATIONS two-tier system was that the patients would be the ones to lose. She con- tinued, the quality of care would not be evident if this system went through. Mayor Teglia stated that Thursday she had received a call from a concerned local resident on strike who wanted to meet with her. She stated that a meeting took place on Friday, and the citizen had related what he saw happening at Kaiser, after which she had invited the strikers to address the Council at this meeting. She stated that she had called the Administrator at Kaiser and he had writ- ten a letter which she proceeded to read (a copy of the letter from Joseph L. Meresman, dated 11/12/86, is attached and a permanent part of the record of this meeting). She then read a letter into the record to Mr. Wayne Moon of Kaiser that she wrote on 11/12/86 (a copy is attached and a permanent part of the record of this meeting. Mr. Brown thanked the Mayor for the letter to Kaiser, and stated that the members would refute what Mr. Meresman had written. He urged the council to visit the picket line, and then visit Kaiser to ask about some of the claims made in the letter. He entreated the Council to write or phone Kaiser to get them back to the bargaining table and settle the strike. Mr. Charles Peeler, 226 Alta Loma Dr., stated that he was a Kaiser member who had recently had a general operation and had been satisfied. He stated that the clerks, order takers and others did have a hand in saying how the surgeon was going to handle an operation. He stated that he recognized: the employees right to strike; the right under the First Amendment; the right to load up the Council; the right of the Council to enter into a private labor 11/12/86 Page 6 I/4MS -E.R P -F_RMAN~ Kaiser Permanente Medical Center 1200 El Camino Real South San Francisco, Ca 94080-3299 (415) 742-2000 Joseph L Meresman Administrator Dwight W. litterer, M.D. Physician-in-Chief November 12, 1986 O00ZS; The Honorable Roberta Teglia Mayor of South San Francisco City Hall 400 Grand Avenue South San Francisco, CA 94080 Dear Mayor Teglia, I appreciate your concerns about the current labor dispute between Kaiser Permanente and members of S.E.I.U., Local 250. We share your hope that the strike is quickly resolved and our employees back at work. As we discussed, Kaiser Permanente is trying to balance several important, but at times competing goals: to continue to provide a broad range of high quality medical care; to improve our access and services to members; to help hold down the increasing costs of health care; to provide a good work environment and fair wages for our employees; and, to remain competitive in the health care field. You expressed concern that a "two-tier" wage structure might prove divisive and damage the closeness that our employees now enjoy. First, let me again assure you that the two-tier system does not apply to the Bay Area. The wage changes that are proposed for this geographic area include: two new entry-level salary steps, a three-year wage freeze, and cash payments in each of those three years. Additionally, while the two-tier concept may be controversial, we believe the consequences will not be negative. The studies conducted in companies where the two-tier system is already in place have not concluded that the wage structure damages employee morale. According to a recent report by a research scientist at the Center for Effective Organization at the University of California "there's no evidence to support" the contention 11-12-86 Page 6 a - 000183 that two-tier wage systems hurt employee morale or weakened recruitment. We feel that we have made a fair and equitable offer: one that ~would not cost our existin§ employees a single penny in wages or benefits. We do not believe that we can continue to pay as much as 35 percent more than other hospitals in some communities for comparable workers and still be able to keep Health Plan rates at affordable levels. I heartily agree that Kaiser Permanente South San Francisco is more than a business. I assure you that providing quality medical care to our community and a healthy work environment to our employees will continue to be our goal. I have enclosed FYI a letter that was recently sent to all employees at our medical center. I would be pleased to provide' you with more detailed information about the strike, negotiation offers, or patient care or services at our medical center. Thank you for sharing your concerns with me. I am always interested in your thoughts and opinions and those of the other elected officials of South San Francisco.

As you are very aware, Local 250 -- Hospital and Institutional Workers Union -- has called for a "strike" against Kaiser. This action affects over 500 employees at the Kaiser Hospital facility in South San Francisco'alone. We in this commmnityhave for more than thirty years watched Kaiser grow from "a new and skinny kid on the block" to this City's major.health care provider as well as an important employment center. During this period of growth and development our community has been impressed with the strong in-house family and/or team spirit that Kaiser worked to achieve. It appeared to us that real team building and real investment in the personal development of its personnel were goals of Kaiser management. As a result, one had the feeling that everyone at Kaiser -- not just the doctors and nurses, but everyone -- took personal pride in the Kaiser product, that is, excellent health care delivery. I believe this "strike" -- and I don't pretend to understand all the fine points of either side -- seriously jeopardizes what Kaiser has so painstakingly built over the years. I strongly urge you to seriously and carefully weigh this ramification of the current dispute which will live on long after a settlement is 11-12-86 Page 6d GRAND AVENUE - p. O. BOX ~/11 -- 94083 Mr. Wayne Moon~ November 12, 1986 Page 2 O001.SG reached. Perhaps a re-evaluation of current corporate goals are in order with emphasis not only on the corporate/business perspective but also on the human perspectives of dedicated, quality service to members as well as corporate responsibility towards the employment force -- no, rather, the health/delivery team -- that Kaiser, itself, shaped over the years. Please direct every energy towards a fair an~timel¥ settlement of this dispute. Most sincerely, Mayor cc: Joseph Meresman Medical Center Administrator 11-12-86 Page 6e AGENDA ORAL COMMUNICATIONS ACTION TAKEN ORAL COMMUNICATIONS dispute between a large employer and the residents who work there. He stated that he did not believe that the council had any right to interfere, and he felt that no action should be taken by the Council, after having given the strikers a forum. He stated that he did not believe that this was the proper forum for a labor dispute. He stated that the two-tier system did work even though, as pointed out in the Kaiser letter, it did not apply to the Bay Area. Vice Mayor Addiego stated that he did not feel qualified at this time to make a judgment over the on-going negotiating process, and the members may not know all the particulars of what was being nego- tiated. He stated that in his personal experience as a union member that recently experienced a two-tier wage system, if that was the concern, then the people needed to stay on the strike line. He stated that entry level positions in his union had been set up as a two-tier system for the beginning employees, and that within the next round of contract talks there were no people working at the higher wage level. He stated that he hoped the administrators at Kaiser were not similar to some of the administrators in his particular employment area who had used it as a method to lower the wage level. He continued, they went to extraordinary means to remove people who were in the way of new employees. He stated that he hoped the next round of negotiations for his union was something the membership might be more willing to fight for the next time around. Councilman Drago stated that normally he would agree with Mr. Peeler in not getting involved with outside labor 11/12/86 Page 7 AGENDA ORAL COMMUNICATIONS ACTION TAKEN O00 . SS ORAL COMMUNICATIONS disputes, however the Council had an obligation to City employees that they do get a quality of care from Kaiser. He stated that if there was a question on the quality of care of the employees, he then felt it was the Council's duty to make sure the employees would get what they pay for. He suggested setting up a meeting with City representatives and Kaiser administrators to be assured that City employees are taken care of. Councilman Nicolopulos stated that he appreciated the democratic process exhi- bited in this open forum. He stated that both sides should sit down and hopefully both would win something soon and put a stop to the strike. Mayor Teglia stated that in her letter to Kaiser she had tried to express her con- cerns without involving the City directly, because she did not feel the City could be directly involved. She stated that as a human being and a citi- zen of this Country she was offended by the two-tier approaches involving problems in industry today. She stated that this attacked the dignity of the worker and she personally applauded the efforts of the Local. She stated that the City would not go to Court for the Local, but would urge Kaiser to deal with the union to settle this expeditiously as it was in the best interests of the entire community. Mayor Teglia presented Ms. Shirley Hawks and the San Bruno A.Y.S.O. girls soccer team. Ms. Hawks stated that the team was com- posed of South San Francisco high school students, playing soccer in San Bruno, who had been invited to play soccer in Australia in the summer. Ms. Natalie Ansen stated that the girls 11/12/86 Page 8 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN 000189 ORAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMUNITY FORUM ORAL COMMUNICATIONS would be traveling to Australia and New Zealand for three weeks in the summer, and would stay at the homes of other soccer players. She stated that in this City there were no girls' soccer teams and that was why the team played in San Bruno. She stated that the team had cap- tured the area co-championship this season, and that through the cultural exchange the team would be representing South San Francisco. She stated that each girl had to raise $2,000 for the airline tickets and their stay. She stated that the girls welcomed donations and were selling raffle tickets to raise the needed funds. Councilman Nicolopulos questioned if the team had ever approached the Police Athletic League for some type of spon- sorship, and if not encouraged them to do SO. COMMUNITY FORUM Mayor Teglia invited everyone to attend the Friday, 11/14/86, meeting for the reorganization of the Mayor and Vice Mayor at the Municipal Services Building at 7:30 p.m. City Manager Birkelo stated that the Price Club was estimated to be completed in early March or April 1987. Mayor Teglia stated that she had received complaints on grading going on at 7:00 a.m. at the Magnolia Center, and stated that it would cease. Councilman Nicolopulos stated that he had received a letter from Mr. Lawrence Pera relating to his being harrassed and jailed and asked that it be incorporated into the record (the letter is attached and a permanent part of the record of this meeting). 11/12/86 Page 9 11-12-86 Page 9a 0001Sl ',-00019~ 11-12-86 Page 9 c 11-12-86 .Paqe 9 d 11-12-86 Page 9 e OOO134 11-12-86 Page 9f 000:~ 11-12-86 Page 9g 0001~7. 11-12-86 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN 0001.

Mayor Teglia stated that the Resolution would allow the City to establish a trust fund to encourage businesses to contri- bute on a one-time or on a continuing basis to the trust fund. She stated that the City would collect its money, invest it, and while the principal would remain in tact each year the City would spend the interest generated by the trust fund for events that normally would not occur in this City. She continued, perhaps a play put on in another city, like Evita that was performed by a San Mateo Performing Arts Company, that after having performed four times, could have then put on a fifth performance in this City which this fund would allow. She stated that the Resolution allowed for a two year period whereby a committee set up by the Council would represent the community, Council and members from the corporate business community. She stated that in two years the committee would have an opportunity to approach the cor- porate sector to hopefully swell the trust fund, and at that time the City would match dollar for dollar whatever was contributed for future performances.

He stated that the Council and various individuals should be commended for their insight, creativity and commitment to enhance the cultural wisdom in this community. Mayor Teglia stated that $5,000 would go for underwriting the establishment of a South San Francisco Jazz Band for musi- cians from 16 years up, based on their proficiency through the audition process. She stated that Mike Galstatis would be the Director of the Jazz Band, and cited his earlier work with the South San Francisco Unified School District. Mr. Galstatis stated that he wanted to see the youth of the community in a learning environment as a supplement to the music going on in the schools.

A RESOLUTION APPROVING A JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT CREATING THE PENINSULA STREET LIGHT AUTHORITY (Cassette #2) CITY MANAGER City Manager Birkelo stated that this was a proposal for the City to join with nine other cities in San Mateo County to form a joint powers authority. He stated that the purpose of which was to acquire PG&E owned street lights in the various communities and turn them back over to the cities for their own operation. He stated that based on the existing rate schedules for company utility owned lights, which was $100 a light for another jurisdiction, the pay back would be just over two years. He stated that the Resolution was for the purpose of entering the organization, and thereby become liable to share the cost with the other cities for the legal ser- vices and appraisal necessary to take the next step forward. He stated that Resolution of Necessity would be forth- coming and would lead into the litigation phase, unless it could be negotiated before hand. He stated that the City owned 1,300 lights and that the utilities owned 2,100 lights that would have to be acquired. Ms. Gwen Hardin, PG&E stated that her company did not oppose the City's par- ticipation in the Peninsula Street Light Authority. She stated that while there may be an economic benefit in ownership, there were many important respon- sibilities that would go along with it in the street light system. She stated that PG&E would work with the City in its eva- luation to pursue the ownership. M/S Addiego/Drago - To adopt the Resolution. RESOLUTION NO. 182-86 Carried by unanimous voice vote. 11/12/86 Page 14 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT & ADMINISTRATION Staff Report 11/12/86 recommending: 1) Motion to waive full reading of the Ordinance; 2) Motion to adopt the Zoning Ordinance. 2nd Reading/Adoption AN ORDINANCE REPEALING TITLE 20, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF CHAPTERS 20.57, 20.59, 20.61 AND 20.63, OF THE SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO MUNICIPAL CODE (ORDINANCE NO. 353 AS AMENDED) AND ADOPTING A NEW TITLE 20 ENTITLED "ZONING" COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT & ADMINISTRATION City Clerk Battaya read the title of the Ordinance in its entirety. City Planner Morton stated that the recommendation tonight was for Council to adopt the revised zoning ordinance that included the provisions that Council had been considering in the past months, with the exclusion of the sign provisions. Neil S. Turner, Esq., stated that he represented Peter Mazzanti and thanked the City Attorney for providing him with a signed copy of the Council stipula- tion. He continued, wherein the Council agreed that in the negotiating for the purchase of the property it would be based on the existing zoning rather than the new proposed zoning ordinance. He expressed concerns of his client: that once the ordinance was passed the only buyer his client could sell to was the City, because of the open space zoning; whether the City would move expe- ditiously toward settling on a price or move forward with condemnation proceedings. He asked that the City provide a copy of the appraisal to aid his client in the negotiations.
