ORAL COMMUNICATIONS Mr. Bill Borba III, made a presentation to the Council, a copy of which is attached and a permanent part of the record of this meeting, which solicited co-sponsorship of the Arts & Wine Festival by the City. Councilwoman Teglia requested a review from the staff on City exposure in respect to the event given that the City is self insured; addressing the concerns of the Police Department; that the related costs in the past from the City had been minimal. Councilman Halley agreed, and suggested that the report also covered the issue of liability. Councilman Nicolopulos stated that time was of the essence, and staff should prepare the report in a timely fashion in that the event was May 15 and 16th. City Manager Birkelo stated that a report would be given at the next Council meeting. Mayor Addiego instructed the Manager to look at other cities as to how they handle these events, and put it on the next agenda. Mrs. Ann Waters stated that she was Chairperson of the Westborough Swimming Pool Fund Raising Advisory Committee, and proceeded to introduce those members who were in the audience: Alice Bullos; 4/22/87 Page 2 Honorable Mayor, Members of the City Council, City Staff, Ladies and Gentlmen: My name is Bill Borba III. Tonight I am here before you as President of the South San Francisco Downtown Merchants Association. I am sure that you are all aware that the Association's biggest event each year is our Arts & Wine Festival. In the past few years the festival has grown both in success and in attendance. Last year it was estimated that between 40,000 and 50,000 people came Downtown to Grand Ave. for the festival during those 2 days. The Association feels that the 2 day event each is a great asset to the community because of the way that it brings the citizens of South San Francisco and those of our neighboring San Mateo County cities closer together to Downtown. We would like to see this event continue for many more years to come, and hope that the City feels the same way. This year we have to take care of an issue that regretably we have not taken care of in the past. That being liability insurance. I am sure that I don't have to inform you of the devastating i~pact that rising Insurance costs have had on social activities of local groups and organizations in our society. This year our Board of Directors feel that we have to getl ourselves covered. That brings us to why I am here before you this evening. We have recieved serval bids for insuring the 2 day event, some being as high as $10,000.00 That amountbetter than doubles our net profit from last year, our biggest year yet. So, It is obvious, being a non profit organization, that we would not be able to continue the arts and wine festival because of that expense The Merchants Association would like to purpose to the City, a co-sponsorship of the festiva] between the Association and the City. This would eliminate insurance problem with the City covering the liability. In return, the merchants Association would keep the city informed during the different stages of the~planning of the event. Also, a trust fund would be set-up for the proceeds from the event. This account would be for the purpose of disbursement for Downtown improvements, "A REVITALIZATION FUND". The City would be informed of any projects that the monies would be used for. The Cities approval would be neccessary before any disbursements. The Merchants Associatinn would like for me to take this opportunity to sincerely thank the city for all of it's co-operation and help in the past. It has been greatly appreciated, and that we are looking forward to many years to come, of a successful and friendly partnersh~ in sponsoring the South San Francisco Arts & Wine Festival. 4/22/87 Page 2a AGENDA ORAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMUNITY FORUM CONSENT CALENDAR Approval of the Minutes of the Regular Meeting of 4/8/87, Adjourned Regular Meeting of 4/9/87, and the Adjourned Regular Meeting of 4/16/87. ® Staff Report 4/22/87 recommending by Motion to set a Public Hearing date for 5/13/87 for consideration of allocation of the 1987-88 Community Development Block Grant Funds. ® Staff Report 4/22/87 recommending adoption of a Resolution authorizing execution of the Sixth Amendment for professional engin- eering services with Wilsey & Ham for the Gateway Assessment District ACTION TAKEN ORAL COMMUNICATIONS Margaret Caldow; Patty Shelly; Barbara Speering; Mary Gennville; and Charles Jones.

Set a Public Hearing for 5/13/87 with respect to the proposed City of South San Francisco Variable Rate Demand Multi family Housing Revenue Bonds, 1987 Series A (Magnolia Plaza Apartments Project). City Manager Birkelo stated that for Staff to do so was merely an administra- tive act. City Attorney Armento proceeded to recite the provisions in the State and Municipal Code that require the Council to call a public hearing: a resolution of inten- tion; appeals of Planning Commission decisions, etc. Councilman Haffey stated that it had been a normal practice for the Council to call all Public Hearings. City Manager Birkelo stated that he had not researched the subject, however, Council had authorized staff to go ahead and notice Public Hearings subject to approval at a meeting. Councilman Halley stated that he did not have a problem with that, however, the procedure needed to be clear to the Clerk and the Staff that the Council set hearings when required by law. City Attorney Armento stated that the Municipal Code only requires Council to set hearings on appeals of Planning Commission decisions or on Resolutions of Intention. Councilman Haffey suggested that Staff present a policy on procedures for public hearings. City Attorney Armento stated that the Public Hearing the Council would be holding for the bonds would be by Federal Law, which did not require that the Council set the hearing.

CITY MANAGER City Manager Birkelo explained that the original timetable had not been met for building the hotel, and that later the Developer had asked for consideration in terms of the cost of the Oyster Point Overcrossing. He stated that the Developer pointed out that it was not in the financing. He stated that the City had not made a commitment at that time, and had indicated that the City would do what could be done to facilitate the area. He stated that this agreement allowed the Developer to pay $555,010.00, which was not out of line - and had been done with Mr. Diodati and the Gateway.

She stated that the site was designated as Parcel 6 in the Oyster Point Marina Specific Plan and allowed public uses, such as boat storage, repair or services, and the San Mateo County Harbor District had previously approved the plans. Councilman Nicolopulos questioned if the concerns addressed by the Staff had been answered, and if so - why was that information not included in the staff report. Discussion followed: the 12% landscaping required vs. 10% normally being required; that the Design Review Board did not set requirements, instead they only made recommendations to the Planning Commission; the size of the tree required; that trees were not the proper element to use in screening; that more landscaping should be used for more open space; why the Harbor District approved the plans on April 15th before the Council heard the issue.
