M/S Haffey/Drago - To approve the Consent
Calendar with the exception of Items 4,
6, 7, 11 and 12.
Carried by unanimous voice vote.
Councilman Nicolopulos requested a clari-
fication, since he thought that the money
had been appropriated last year and when
not expended, had gone into the General
Fund.
City Manager Armas stated that the
encumbrances had occurred prior to the
year's closing with the amounts being
estimated - however, a better job would
be done in future. He stated that it
usually took ninety days to determine the
exact amount of the encumbrances.
Councilman Drago questioned why it took
seven months to make this adjustment. He
stated that he did not recall this action
being taken in the past.
Councilman Drago stated that he did not
remember this action being taken in the
past, and questioned why it had taken
seven months to come to the Council for
action.
Director of Finance stated that the
Council had not approved encumbrances
last year, but had approved them in the
previous three years. She stated that
the Finance Dept. ceased paying fiscal
year encumbrances on 8/10/88, and that
was the reason this action was needed.
Discussion followed: that this item
should have come to the Council at an
earlier date; whether this affected the
current budget; that this was a proce-
dural matter; that $65,000 did make a
difference to the Council; that this
would be addressed in the mid year study
session on the budget; that the amount
and time on these matters should be
handled more expeditiously.

RESOLUTION NO. 4-89
Carried by unanimous voice vote.
Councilman Nicolopulos stated that the
bridge had been analyzed and repairs had
been determined, and questioned why not
structural changes had been noted.
Acting Deputy City Manager/City Engineer
Wong stated that this contract was just
for design consulting services in the
amount of $59,000, however, the estimated
total cost was $277,000. He stated that
the bridge qualifies for a Federal Grant
for rehabilitation, and the local share
of the project would only be 20%.
M/S Nicolopulos/Haffey - To adopt the
Resolution.
RESOLUTION NO. 5-89
Carried by unanimous voice vote.
Councilman Nicolopulos questioned the
maximum local contribution on this
project.
Acting Deputy City Manager/City Engineer
Wong stated that the Federal par-
ticipation was $17,350, and the City's
costs would be more than 29%.
Councilman Nicolopulos expressed concern
on whether the cost benefits would be
worth it, when the City's share could be
as high as 60%.
Acting Deputy City Manager/City Engineer
Wong stated that it was important, in
that the money would be spent to make
improvements that would have to be made
anyway.
City Manager Armas stated that this was
an opportunity to acquire grant monies
from this project for the needed repairs,
and the City was not incurring additional

Councilman Nicolopulos questioned the
time table on this project, as well as
using in-lieu funds.
Councilman Addiego requested an over view
of this project for the benefit of the
audience.
Director of Recreation & Community
Services Jewell related that a
Subcommittee had been formed last year to
address: parking problems in the area
during peak times; the need for off-
street parking; development of a passive
play area; maximum use of the park area.
He stated that in August the Council had
decided to hire a landscape architect,
and the bids had been reviewed and the
selection was before Council tonight.
He stated that expenses incurred prior to
7/1/89 on Buri Buri Park could not be
drawn against Proposition 70 funds, and
the cost would be funded by park in-lieu
fees.
He stated that Callander Associates will
provide for citizen input with ample

funds ran out.
City Librarian Goodrich stated that this
application was for supplemental funds to
perpetuate the program, and would result
in less funds being requested next year.
She stated that it was an adult literacy
program, and proceeded to describe the
program in detail: that the grants were
only available for public libraries; that
volunteers could always be used for the
program as tutors; that the student
needed to know english, and have a third
grade reading level; that the student had
readings disabilities for various reasons
and wanted to take charge of their lives;
that, etc.
M/S Nicolopulos/Addiego - To adopt the
Resolution.
RESOLUTION NO. 8-89
Carried by unanimous voice vote.
ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS
Deputy City Manager/City Engineer Wong
gave background information on this pro-
ject since its inception. He stated that
when Phase IV is completed this year,
essentially all the owner occupied homes
within contours 70.0 to 69.0 will be
insulated. He stated that Phase V will
reach contour 68.6 and include portions
of Brentwood, Avalon Park and Francisco
Terrace if the current method of
selecting homes was extended.
He described the three options to select
homes for the project: 1) Continue the
current method of selecting homes; 2)
Give priority to homes west of E1 Camino
Real; 3) Give priority to homes in
Brentwood (a copy of the staff report is
on file in the Clerk's Office).
Councilman Haffey stated that one of the
complaints he had received was that a
neighbor's home could be insulated, and
the homeowner across the street could not

ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS
participate in the program - which was
felt to be an arbitrary selection of
homes in a neighborhood for insulation.
He stated that for those reasons he was
leaning towards Option No. 3, which would
insulate all homes in Brentwood before
any other homes were insulated. He
stated that in future grant requests the
City could point to Brentwood as an
entire neighborhood that had been comple-
tely insulated.
Mayor Teglia stated that she felt that it
was important for the integrity of the
neighborhood to complete a neighborhood.
She stated that a number of homes had
been insulated in Brentwood and Avalon,
and she would like the two completed
before other neighborhoods were insu-
lated, and offered that suggestion as a
fourth alternative.
She stated that the noise contour maps
were out of date, and spoke in detail of
the configuration of new maps that may
not include neighborhoods previously
insulated; and that was why it was impor-
tant to complete the insulation of the
two neighborhoods with the funds already
approved.
She stated that the City would not be
receiving any grant monies in 1989, but
that was all right because of grants pre-
viously received with construction pro-
ceeding. She stated that in 1990 when
the City makes application for grant
funds, a rationale should be presented to
complete Avalon and Brentwood
regardless of which map is filled.
Councilman Addiego expressed concern that
Francisco Terrace was not being mentioned
for insulation. He questioned how many
homes would be insulated if the existing
contour levels were followed.
Deputy City Manager/City Engineer Wong
stated that twenty-five homes in
1/11/89
Page 8
ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS
13. Motion - Continued.
ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS
Francisco Terrace and twelve homes in
Avalon would be insulated in Phase V.
Councilman Addiego felt that twenty-five
homes in Francisco Terrace represented a
large percentage of that neighborhood,
and he had been led to believe that
another three or four homes would
complete the neighborhood.
Discussion followed: that the item
should be held over for additional infor-
mation on the average cost of the homes
and how many could be completed, as well
as the average cost for a new neigh-
borhood; that Francisco Terrace was not
in the target area; that at a Council
retreat it had been determined that there
were existing family neighborhoods that
needed help on Airport noise; that perhaps
money should be added to the program by
the City for those neighborhoods in need;
that the grant monies did not draw
interest for the City because they were
given after phasing; that the contour map
belonged to the Airport, and had been
accepted by the Federal Government going
back to 1980; that the FAA was to have
hearings on Dept. 50 funds involving
maps; that there was no requirement for
the map to be updated; that the Mayor
wanted the City to give testimony in sup-
port of updating the contour map, etc.
City Manager Armas related the following:
that the FAA must advise the public on
any changes; that he had reviewed
material from the Roundtable that spoke
to the proposed amendments, and would
collect data for the next meeting.
Discussion followed: that the City had
submitted a grant for 250 homes; that
staff should look at the various neigh-
borhoods impacted; that the maps were not
broken down by lots; that it could be
determined that Brentwood/Avalon may not
qualify on the new maps on footprints and
CNELS, etc.

Carried by unanimous voice vote.
Mayor Teglia recessed the meeting at 8:38
p.m.
Mayor Teglia recalled the meeting to
order at 8:56 p.m., all Council present.
City Clerk Battaya read the title of the
Ordinance in its entirety.
Police Chief Datzman paraphrased the
staff report: that the Council began
amending the General Plan in 1982 which
was adopted by Ordinance; that General
Plan Policy No. 47 stated that noncon-
forming card rooms were restricted in
growth and movement, and should be phased
out of existence; that existing cardroom
owners were aware of and understood
Policy No. 47 and the Ordinance; that in
1986 most current amendments were adopted
based on Policy No. 47, that allowed the
cardrooms as small continuing family
businesses, etc.
He stated that on 11/10/88 Dan Modena,
Esq., had formally requested a modifica-
tion to Section 6.36 of the Municipal
Code relating to the card room ordinance
in the following manner: 1) removal of
the $100 maximum bet - which the Police
Dept. recommends be set at $200, and
would oppose a no bet limit; 2) add
Texas Hold'em and Double Poker - which

LEGISLATIVE BUSINESS
are legal, and the Police Dept. recom-
mends that the ordinance be amended; 3) a
change to thirty-five tables - Police
Dept. recommends that the request be
denied because it is an expansion of the
use; 4) to allow the cardrooms to be open
24 hours a day - which even though the
City Attorney advises that an expansion
of hours does not technically equate to
an expansion of use under Policy 47, the
Police Dept. is still of the opinion that
the expansion of hours is not the inten-
tion of Policy 47; that the expansion was
in opposition to the phasing out of
cardrooms in this City, etc.
He gave statistics on the downtown area
in relation to the crime rate in burg-
lary, weapons possession violations,
assault and battery, narcotics and alco-
holic beverage violations. He stated
that the Police Department felt that the
cardrooms being allowed a twenty-four
hour operation would place a greater bur-
den on police enforcement of the area.
He continued the requests: 5) to strike
restriction limiting floor supervision to
3 tables - no changes are required in
that there are no restrictions; 6) to
remove restrictions on giving gifts,
bonuses, or other incentives to encourage
play - no objection by the Police Dept.;
Dan Modena, Esq., 421 Grand Ave., stated
that he represented the two cardroom
owners, A1 Pasco and Joseph Pasco. He
stated that he had been working on this
ordinance for twenty-one years to effect
the same provisions as the neighboring
cardrooms in the adjacent cities upon
which there was a survey. He stated that
his clients were operating under a disa-
bility by not being allowed to operate at
the level of adjacent cities, such as
starting a game that must end at 2:00
a.m. and the clients then go to the other
cities to continue playing.

He cited the neighboring cities that
allow twenty-four hour cardrooms: Palo
Alto, Oakland, San Jose, Milpitas,
Sacramento and Hayward.
He spoke in detail on the following:
that cardrooms in other cities were open
to 3:00 a.m. due to the criteria opened
through the lottery and bingo which had
then increased the hours to a twenty-four
operation; that an increase in crime had
not been noted in cities with a twenty-
four hour operation; that crime in the
downtown area was alcohol related as to
the number of bars in the downtown; that
the two cardroom operators would abide by
a 2:00 a.m. bar closing; that thirty-five
tables were needed to be competitive with
other cities; that with the cardrooms not
selling liquor after 2:00 a.m. would not
be contributing to crimes of burglary and
theft; that the two cardrooms had been in
the City for sixty years; request to
operate on a twenty-four hour operation
for six months with the Police Chief
monitoring the operation; that the
cardrooms were run as a business without
fights or drugs, etc.
Councilman Addiego stated that Mr.
Modena's point was well taken on crime in
the downtown being alcohol related,
rather than due to the operation of the
cardrooms; and wondered if the crime sta-
tistics could be further refined to
reflect that.
Police Chief Datzman stated that in
discussions on the adoption of Policy 47
it had been indicated that the cardrooms
created crime, however, the information
could be accessed by computer as to calls
for police services in a given area. He
spoke of this area causing problems and
creatin§ a reputation on the peninsula.
Councilman Addie§o stated that there were
other areas in the City with twenty-four'
hour operations wherein alcohol was cut

off at 2:00 a.m. He questioned if the
intent was to force the businesses to
phase out, and cut down the problems.
He spoke of a South San Francisco indivi-
dual who had been killed through an
involvement in a San Bruno cardroom -
which had turned out to be this City's
problem. He questioned if it would serve
the community to phase the businesses out
of the City.
Mayor Teglia stated that she did not
believe it had been the Council's inten-
tion to put this family out of business,
however, it was not determined to be a
good business for expansion in the
community.
She stated that there was no problem in
raising the bet limit, however, the $200
limit could be wagered many times and
create a sizable pot. She stated that
this would bring in a clientele other
than the traditional folks that played
cards now from this community - and would
attract the serious card players. She
stated that this was flying in the face
of trying to do something for the health
of Grand Avenue as a commercial and resi-
dential area. She stated that the
cardrooms could survive on their bars and
an expanded restaurant use.
Councilman Drago related the following:
that he had no problem with the limit
being doubled; that rather than change
the ordinance whenever a new game was
declared legal by the State, change the
language of the ordinance to include all
games declared legal by the state; that
an expansion of the tables would take a
general plan amendment; questioned if
there was a big problem in crime after
2:00 a.m. in the event there was an
expansion of hours; had no problem with
request 5 and 6, but had some questions
about a twenty-four hour use.
Police Chief Datzman spoke of the plans
1/11/89
Page 13

15. Introduction - Continued.
LEGISLATIVE BUSINESS
for a five year phase out of the
cardrooms per Policy 47. He stated that
service calls between 2:00 and 7:00 a.m.
were affected by the change in staffing
levels. He stated that with extended
hours of operation it would not see a
person going to the cardrooms to wager
$20.00, and that with the operations
shut down at 2:00 a.m. there was less
need for police in the area. He stated
that Sgt. Petrocchi had statistics on
cardrooms in other cities for Council's
information.
Mayor Teglia stated that she was suppor-
tive of staff's recommendations, and also
had a problem with an expansion of hours
and tables.
Councilman Haffey agreed with staff and
the point made by Councilman Drago on
having to change the ordinance whenever
a new game was made legal, rather than
having language that accepted games
declared legal by the State.
Discussion followed: that new games
played went through Attorney General
decisions, and possibly litigation before
bein§ declared legal; that staff would
attempt new language on games to be
played; that the Police Chief would have
control of all games played; statistics
presented by Sgt. Petrocchi on other
cities cardroom re§ulations; why a
cardroom in this City could not be
allowed a twenty-four hour operation when
it was permitted in other cities; that
San Mateo allowed twenty-four hour opera-
tions of cardrooms; that Mayor Teglia did
not want to attract serious gamblers to
this community; that with present opera-
tions closing at 2:00 a.m., customers
then go to San Bruno to continue playing;
that increasing the hours would also
increase the personnel involved in the
cardrooms; Councilman Nicolopulos
questioned the crime statistics of the
Police Department, which had been

refutted by Mr. Modena as not being
related to the cardrooms; that Councilman
Addiego would not mind allowing the
cardrooms to be competitive; Mayor Teglia
felt that if the Council was going to
expand the use, then it should go to a
vote of the people; Councilman
Nicolopulos felt that the Council did not
have the right to cause the cardrooms to
not be competitive, and felt that the
hours should be expanded for six months
with the Police monitoring the opera-
tions; that if the use was allowed it
would provide for expansion, rather than
a phase out of the cardrooms; Councilman
Haffey felt that the expansion was a land
use question, and was not compatible with
plans for the downtown; Councilman Drago
suggested culling out the hours of
operating and move on the rest of the
ordinance; Mayor Teglia suggested sending
the expansion to the Planning Commission,
and if a major change was to be made the
people should speak to the issue, etc.
Consensus of Council - That No. I was
okay; No. 2 should have the ordinance
language reworked; No. 3 would be sent to
the Planning Commission because it
affects the General Plan.
City Attorney Armento stated that Policy
47 did not speak to expansion of hours,
just about expansion of the area in
cardrooms.
City Manager Armas stated that in that
Policy 47 was silent on hours, it should
be sent back to the Planning Commission
along with the expansion of tables.
Councilman Drago suggested pulling No. 4
and have it reviewed with Policy 47 by
the Planning Commission.
Dan Modena, Esq. stated that he was con-
cerned about waiting longer for the ordi-
nance to be passed which would allow the
