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.

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.
Councilwoman Teglia questioned if the
hotel would be completed in five years.
Mr. Paller stated that the project
currently had eight floors poured of the
projected ten stories, and that each

and eight months to complete the hotel.

Director of Planning Smith stated that
the Municipal Code required all private
developments within the Oyster Point
Marina Specific Plan area to obtain pre-
cise plan approval from the Council. 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.
