settlement, etc.
Mr. Ralph Lense stated that he had
addressed the Council at an earlier
meeting concerning the City adopting a
smoking ordinance similar to those
adopted in the Bay Area. He stated that
such an ordinance would shift the rights
from the smoker to the non-smoker by
having employers set up a smoking policy
in the workplace.
Mayor Addiego stated that he had attended
a San Bruno Council meeting wherein the
Council had set up a subcommittee to look
at a draft smoking ordinance.

THE CITY OF SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO
CITY ATTORNEY
industrial area in which the State
Lands Commission asserts public trust
interest, a claim. She continued, there
are a number of properties out there
coming up for sale and when they did the
title report it would reveal that the
State has a public trust interest. She
stated that the City was a grantee
through legislalation that was adopted
in 1925, and the City's grant means that
the City is also subject or holds the
land in its grantee status subject to
the public trust claim. She stated
that in order for these properties to
become marketable it was necessary that
they settle these title matters either
by litigation or by a settlement between
the parties.
She stated that in this instance
Tinmet Corp. and the State with
discussion that also involved the City
have concluded that the State's claim can
be settled for $300,000. She stated that
it was necessary for the three parties to
enter into an agreement and for the City
to quit claim to the State its right,
title and interest, and in turn will quit
claim to Tinmet Corp. its public trust
interests. She stated that in turn
Tinmet Corp. will deposit $300,000 with
the State which will go into a land bank
trust fund, which purpose was to acquire
properties or interest in properties that
would be out in the grant area to provide
additional public access to the bay shore
line.
She stated that a draft of the proposed
settlement agreement had been received
today, and did appear to be in order and
in line with what she had just recited.
She stated that the item was scheduled to
go before the State Lands Commission on
the 22nd, their monthly meeting, and they
wanted to know what the City's position
was on the item, and if it was in accord.
Councilman Haffey stated that the action
requested tonight was to authorize the

negotiation of the settlement agreement.
He stated that the staff report indicated
that the staff was concerned about the
benefit the City would derive from the
settlement, and attempting to identify
parcels or interests in real property
within the grant area that would be can-
didates for acquisition so that these
may be identified in the settlement
agreement.
He expressed concern that in the adoption
of this resolution which gave staff the
opportunity to negotiate - where was the
input from Council to identify those
parcels.
City Attorney Armento related that
the State proposed agreement did not
spell out specific properties, and in
effect said, "The City shall in good
faith make its best efforts to identify,
consistent with the public trust and
intent of the Capitol Land Bank Act, pro-
perties and the State shall in good faith
make its best efforts consistent with the
Act to acquire such land acceptable to
the City and the State with the $300,000
contributed to the Land Bank Fund pur-
suent to this agreement; and shall not
oppose legislation to amend the granting
statutes to grant to the City any
exchange lands in the City acquired pur-
suant to this agreement. Provided that
should a parcel suitable to such acquisi-
tion not be purchased within three years
of the effective date, then the State
would not be bound to expend $300,000 for
acquisition within the City."
Councilman Haffey stated that his concern
was that if the Council took action this
evening, and the City Attorney and
Manager's Office were authorized to enter
into a settlement agreement by resolution
- will it come back to the Council or
would it authorize staff to act on behalf
of the City.
City Attorney Armento stated that the

State would like the Council to give
staff the authority to sign on behalf of
the City, however if the authority was
not given staff would come back to the
Council.
Councilman Haffey stated that his was
uncomfortable with giving staff that
authority.
City Attorney Armento stated that part of
the problem was that of timing because of
the 22nd meeting of the Commission,
however they could be told that the
City was generally favorable in terms of
doing it after seeing the particulars of
the agreement before formal approval was
given to staff.
Mayor Addiego stated that authority would
not be given until the 1/21/87 Council
meeting for the meeting the following day
of the State Lands Commission.
Vice Mayor Drago stated that he had
attended a meeting two weeks ago on
another piece of property, and expressed
concern that the settlement had already
been negotiated between the State and
Tinmet with the $300,000 already settled.
He questioned if the land belonged to the
City in that it was the grantee.
City Attorney Armento stated that the
City was the grantee, but the lands did
not belong to the City. She stated that
the City only received the rights and
interests that the State had, and that the
State rights and interests were public
trust rights to assist in navigation and
commerce, plus provide public access to
the waterways.
She stated that each and every parcel was
treated as a separate case, and each had
different peculiarities in how they were
acquired. She stated that the fact that
a settlement was being negotiated with
the State and Tinmet did not have a
bearing on the City as it was in a

limited position in the negotiations.
She continued, because under State Law
the City does not have the right to
settle claims being a grantee, and
only the State and the property owners
had that right.
Vice Mayor Dra§o questioned what right
the status as grantee gave the City when
the City could not get the money in the
fund.
City Attorney Armento stated that the
City could not get the money directly,
but it was indicated that there was a
promise that the money would be spent to
acquire parcels here if parcels or
interests were identified. She stated
that if an identified parcel cost
$500,000, the State would put in $200,000
from the rest of the land fund to acquire
the parcel. She stated that the City
could then get the rents, profits and
interests from that parcel.
Discussion followed: whether the City
should stay out of the whole process and
support the State's case; that the land-
owners could tie up the land for three
or four years and the City would lose
the advantage of having the property
resold, and developed with more jobs for
the community; whether this subject
should be discussed in Closed Session;
that this type of situation only came up
in a preliminary title report, etc.
Timothy Brown, Esq., stated that he was
representing Tinmet and the purpose of
the proposed settlement to the State was
to permit Tinmet to market the property.
He stated that this was a twenty acre
parcel on East Grand, and that for some
time attempts had been made to clean the
premises before putting it on the market.
He requested that action be taken expedi-
tiously by the Council on the proposed
settlement before the 22nd meeting of
the State Lands Commission. He explained

Councilperson could still tell the City

ORDINANCE NO. 1009-87

Coordinator of Labor Relations Tolmacheff
stated that staff was recommending that
Council adopt the resolution for a new
job description for Deputy City Attorney
and revised job descriptions for
Assistant City Attorney, Legal Secretary,
and miscellaneous secretarial positions.
She stated that there would be no cost
impact to the City, in fact there would
be a cost savings by appointing a Deputy
City Attorney rather than an Assistant
City Attorney.
Councilman Haffey stated that by hiring a
Deputy City Attorney, rather than an
Assistant City Attorney, the City would
be establishing a career ladder after
satisfactory performance and promotion to
Assistant City Attorney. He expressed
concern on whether in the future both
positions would be filled.
City Attorney Armento stated that with
any luck the office would have two attor-
neys and two secretarys which included
herself and her secretary. She stated
that the plan was that after three years
the Deputy City Attorney would become the
Assistant City Attorney.
Vice Mayor Drago stated that he
understood what the City Attorney was
doing, however it bothered him that the
standards for secretarys were being
lowered.
Coordinator of Labor Relations Tolmacheff
stated that the shorthand skill was being
eliminated as a desirable skill because
it was very difficult within the City to
find people with the skill.
Vice Mayor Drago stated that there were
people coming out of high school with the
skill. He stated that the City had just
paid $5,000 to give employees a shorthand

class, and questioned why that had been
done if the skill was not desirable.
Deputy City Manager/CD&A Lewis stated
that some department heads wanted the
skill, and it was felt by staff that if
it was listed as a desirable skill
rather than a requirement, the positions
would be easier to fill because of the
flexibility offered.
He stated that staff had recently
completed an in-house recruitment for a
secretary, and even though there had
been several good candidates for the job
none of the employees passed the
shorthand requirement.
Vice Mayor Drago questioned why the
shorthand requirement for legal secretary
was 90 wpm, yet the Secretary to the City
Manager's requirement for shorthand was
only 80 wpm. He stated that all other
secretarys had the 90 wpm requirement,
and he would rather see more classes
given so people could pass the test.
City Attorney Armento stated that the
City started advertising for a legal
secretary in September, and there were
eight people tested with only one person
who passed the test.
She stated that she would rather have her
secretary take brief notes and use a dic-
taphone, which she felt was more effi-
cient for her purposes. She stated that
the brief notes she dictated could also
be taken with speedwriting.
Vice Mayor Drago questioned the different
duties of a Secretary I vs. a Secretary
II. He stated that he could go along
with the City Attorney not wanting the
shorthand requirement, but he did not
agree with it being eliminated for other
secretarial positions.

He continued: that the design was incom-
patible with the immediate neighborhood,
and should blend in with the residential
aspects of the surrounding environment;
the design appears to be freeway orien-

since there was a shopping center across
the street.
He stated that staff had recommended to
the Commission that the application be
approved based upon a redesign of the
layout and circulation, with modifica-
tions to meet concerns of the Design

exhibits on the boards to show the type
of reconstruction that would take place

station was demolished.
Mayor Addiego invited those wishing to

landscaping should be in line with the
enhancements made to entrances to the

Mr. Master Bhikhli, Wye Motel, stated
