None.
Mayor Drago stated that he was looking
for direction from Council on the half-
cent sales tax which had failed to get on
the Supervisors proposal list of pro-
jects. He stated that he had written a
letter to Mr. Gee, SamTrans, submitting a
request to include the Oyster Point
Boulevard Grade Separation/Hwy 101
Interchange Project in the County
Transportation Expenditure Plan for the
Half-Cent Sales Tax Proposal, however
the subject did not come up at the
meeting.
He stated that Councilman Haffey had per-

sonally appeared and made the proposal,
but he did not believe that a vote had
been taken. He stated that John Aguillar
had made a presentation at the last
meeting on the City's behalf, however
during the vote the Mayor could only get
five votes, and one questionable vote and
had withdrawn his request for a vote.
He stated that Thursday night there would
be a meeting and a vote taken. He stated
that even if the vote was negative he
wanted direction from Council for a
public statement on whether to oppose the
plan or say that the City will go against
the action.
Councilman Nicolopulos suggested the
Mayor try again and solicit Deputy City
Manager/City Engineer Yee's help in a
presentation of all the facts to prove
that it was not a local issue, but a
regional issue.
Mayor Drago stated that his letter had
spelled out whether the project did or
did not merit consideration, and he had
asked the Planning Staff to put together
further information. He spoke of how the
sales tax was broken up in the County for
the various projects, and felt that a
visual graph of the sales tax projection
would be useful.
Discussion followed: that the Burlingame
Council had taken a vote on a new deve-
lopment being included in the funding;
that the project was regional and fell
into different regions of the County with
problems along Highway 101; that South
San Francisco was the third largest
generater of sales tax in the County; on
other benefits locally funded that are
based on the assessed valuations per
capita; that the Deputy City Manager/City
Engineer and Planning Director should
accompany the Mayor to the next meeting;
that soliciting votes outside of the
meeting would be of greater aid than the
experts at the meeting; that individual
Councilmembers should approach supportive

cities for their vote; soliciting support
