OPERATING BUDGET FOR THE CITY OF~l~°
SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO
CITY MANAGER
City Manager Lewis stated that the
Resolution before the Council included
all of the Subcommittee recommendations
from the Study Session.
Councilman Haffey noted that if the
Council acted upon this Resolution, there
was no need to act on Item No. 11.
Councilman Nicolopulos questioned which
department budget contained the front
line leadership program.
City Manager Lewis stated that it was
included in the Personnel budget.
Councilman Nicolopulos requested an ana-
lysis from staff on this program before
any expenditures were made. He stated
that he wanted an evaluation of the
program over the past three years be sub-
mitted to Council.
Councilman Haffey stated that a report on
the program was appropriate, but he did
not want to see a hold-up over the adop-
tion of the budget.
Councilman Nicolopulos stated that he
agreed that the budget should not be held
up, but wanted Council input on how this
program should function.
He also stated that he felt that frugal
department heads who had not used all of
their allocated budget at the end of the
fiscal year should be rewarded in future
years when money was less tight.
He stated that he was concerned over the
six figure meeting and travel expen-
ditures, and felt that this account
should be reevaluated in future - depart-
ment by department; as well as seeking a
better review and analysis on overtime,
sick leave, and contractual outside
services.
He stated that he felt that more main-

tenance workers should be hired, and
wanted Council to look into the City's
hiring practices.
Vice Mayor Teglia reviewed the
Subcommittee recommendations and the
resulting consensus of Council: that
recommendation No. 2, the strong request
for an additional maintenance position
was not being funded; recommendation No.
3, that the management reorganization was
taking place; No. 4, that Council be
given sufficient advance notice to con-
sider a range of alternatives if City
service levels were to be impacted; No.
"etc
5, "ability to pay policy, .
Councilman Addiego stated that certain
members of the Council were very critical
of the charges to the Water Quality
Control Plant for administration as
being too high, however, some figures had
come back showing the figure was valid.
He stated that he would like to propose a
10% figure that would cover some addi-
tions to the budget that Subcommittee had
recommended.
Councilman Nicolopulos stated that the
Subcommittee had compromised on a 9.05%
fi gure.
Councilman Haffey stated that Councilman
Addiego had made a good point, and on the
basis that there were some additional
budget requests made those budget
requests could be covered by the addi-
tional funds.
Mayor Drago stated that he could not sup-
port the 10% charge. He stated that the
fact that he went along with the 9.05%
figure had been justified by staff based
upon charges in other cities, but he did
not believe the 13% staff used was valid.
He questioned the arbitrary figure used
for his own time used by staff as admin-
istrative charges.

Discussion followed: raising the rates
for the Sewer Enterprise Fund; admi-
nistrative percentage charge for the City
provided services to be 9.05% or 10%;
that the City had not charged any admi-
nistrative charges for many years, and
the General Fund had been subsidizing the
Plant; that the charges were arbitrarily
set by staff without substantiation; that
Mayor Drago had requested cost factors
for two years from two different Finance
Directors on other cities without suc-
cess, and now some comparable figures had
been obtained from the third Finance
Director; that staff members kept track
of time spent for the plant, and that was
how the administrative charges were deve-
loped; charging administrative costs to
other funds as well; that if the admi-
nistrative services were done by con-
sultants it would be more costly, etc.
Vice Mayor Teglia continued discussion on
the consensus of the Subcommittee recom-
mendations: Nos. 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13,
and the annual reception for Boards and
Commissions; Nos. 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 -
restoration of entire amount; Nos. 20,
21, 22 and utilizing funds that could be
creatively applied; Nos. 23, 24, 25, 26,
27, 28, 29, 30 and 31.
Mayor Drago stated that money allocated
for specific purposes should only be used
for those purposes by that department,
and not be moved around from department
to department or within the department.
He gave an example: if $1,000 is
budgeted for fire hose and the need for
the hose is not presently critical, then
that $1,000 should be returned to the
General Fund and not be used for con-
ferences and meetings which account was
running in the red.
Councilman Haffey stated that he would
agree with the Mayor when it came to per-
sonnel billets that were assigned and the

department head took money from materials
and supplies and hired another position.
He stated that if every line item of this
budget had to be justified and the admi-
nistrator was given no flexibility what-
soever, then he felt Council was tying
the hands of department heads on a day to
day operation and implementation of their
duties.
Discussion followed: on the discretion a
department head should have over his
budget; that the City Manager had to be
held fully accountable for the depart-
ments' budgets; that the budget was a
planning document and what the Council
set for 1988 could be different in 1989,
and the department heads should not have
to come to Council to make small line
item changes; if there are ever
misappropriations of public monies by
department heads, then only should budget
descretion be removed from department
heads; concern over department head
policy decisions, such as in the amount
of $20,000-25,000 that was in a budget
for consultant fees and the department
head uses the money to buy a computer;
that any expenditure over $10,000 had to
come before Council; that the $10,000
could be spent on many segments; that
Council should make a policy on overtime;
Mayor Drago concerned over increased
costs in overtime, meetings and conferen-
ces, consultant fees, contract labor and
personnel, etc.
Mayor Drago commended Subcommittee mem-
bers Teglia and Nicolopulos for their
diligent hours in compiling the recommen-
dations, as well as the time spent by
staff to get the information together.
He stated that the budget document was
one of the most important actions the
City Council would take, and was the
financial plan that allows the Council to
provide the services this City needed.
He stated that this budget would increase

services in Code enforcement and building
maintenance that were important priori-
ties of the Council as brought forward by
the public.
Discussion followed: that additional
funds had been culled out of the budget
for drug enforcement; that this was a
balanced budget; previous concerns of the
Mayor of spending more funds than those
coming into the City; that the reorgani-
zation would be accomplished without an
increase in personnel; on Council dissat-
isfaction on the use of overtime,
meeting and conferences, etc.
Vice Mayor Teglia made a Motion - To
approve the budget with the exception of
the administration charge.
Motion died for lack of a second.

property negotiations and the resultant
payments over an eight year period.
Councilman Halley stated that they had
not, however, he commended staff on the
end result.
Vice Mayor Teglia questioned when was the
earliest the land would be available for
development.
City Manager Lewis stated that three
years would be the earliest for develop-
ment if the City were to pay off the
outstanding debt.
Mr. Bruno Scopesi stated that he repre-
sented the Mazzantis and the contract
provided that anytime on or before 6/1/91
the City could give two years written
notice if they wanted to take over the
property prior - otherwise at any time
thereafter every year on June 1st because
of the horticulture problems. He stated
that with two year notice the City could
take over the property, provided all the
payments were made. He stated that there
was also a provision in the contract that

across the creek, sell it, and use the
funds to pay monies due the Mazzantis to
reduce the principle.
City Manager Lewis stated that there was
a portion of the property the City could
get in three years, and a portion the
City could get in five or eight years.
Vice Mayor Teglia stated that the portion
the City could get in three years was the
portion to be sold, but was concerned
about when the earliest time was that the
City could develop the property for
recreation uses.
City Manager Lewis stated that would be
in 1993.
Councilman Haffey stated that a payment
of $130,000 was due in July, and
questioned the source of funding to make
the payments over the next eight years.
City Manager Lewis stated that it would
be from the Capital Improvement Fund,
however, that was dependent upon the sale
of the Chestnut and Grant property.
Councilman Halley stated that this was
essentially a principle payment, no
interest payment, based upon an appraisal
of the City; that the City would hold a
security agreement, and the Mazzantis
would hold title to the land.

Director of Planning Smith recited the

Company. (A copy of the staff report is
on file in the Clerk's office that
details the modifications and adjustments
that could reduce the number of lots.)
Councilman Addiego questioned if the
Development could design a project that
would maximize the return to their firm
because of the size of the home, and end
up with a minimum of units that would be
detrimental to the City's side of the
bargain.
Director of Planning Smith stated that it
was in the Developer's best interest to
have the maximum number of lots on the
site because a significant price would be
asked for each home.
Mr. Skip Jones, Alden Company, stated
that his firm did have 35 lots to submit
to the City for the site.

Dear Council Members:
The Board of Directors of Westborough Way Homeowners Association
met for a special meeting on June 16, 1988 to discuss the Ventura
Corporation Condominium Complex proposed for the site between
Gellert Blvd. and Appian Way.
Specifically, we wish to address item 1 of Exhibit B of the
5-26-88 PC Meeting which suggests that the City Council may de-
lete the stairway along the northerly property line.
Please be advised that we strongly urge you to keep that stairway
in the plans as submitted by the developer because:
"~' 1. ~' A stairway was promised as early as 1980 when W.W. Dean
de.veloped Westborough Way Association,
2. A stairway was required, accepted and approved by the
City as part of the previous project at this same site,
3. It is a convenient access to the Gellert and Kerny
intersection for school children of ValleyView and Appian Way
going to the Foxridge school,
4. It would be an access to Sellick Park for residents west
of Gellert Blvd.,
5. It will provide access to Sellick Park and Gellert Blvd.
bus stops for most future residents of this new development and
£or residents of the future development north of this lot,
6. If the stairwell is not built, children will trespass in
some way through this new development creating constant friction
an'd aggravation to those residents,
7. The builder is willing to build the stairway and seems
willing"to modify it to City recommendations. A stairway can be
built to keep maintenance costs very low, safe and still be
attractive and serve the people in the area.
It is our suggestion and request that the City should take this
opportunity to have the stairway built by the developer as
promised.
If you have any questions, feel free to call me.
