Resolution - Continued. City regarding jail Mateo and the construction on bayfront site. A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING WITH THE COUNTY OF SAN MATEO CON- CERNING TRANSFER OF THE BAYFRONT SITE AND CONSTRUCTION OF A DETENTION FACILITY ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS mately 2~2 acres in the industrial area to the County for the purpose of construc- tion of a jail. He stated that in exchange, the County will execute a deed restriction on its property that is bounded by Mission, Oak and Grand which says it will not construct from this point forward a jail facility - a type 2 housing, long term facility. He con- tinued, the County had also agreed to not establish a work furlough program at that site. He stated that the agreement followed Council's principle of pre- serving the integrity of the residential area. Mayor Teglia expressed concern over newspaper articles that focused on a few individuals rather than giving credit to the Council and the people of the com- munity for taking an active part in the process of relocating the jail from Mission Road. Councilman Addiego questioned if a type 2 detention facility was not built - did the title then revert back to the City of South San Francisco. City Manager Armas stated that was correct, and if the title reverted back and the County was not able to construct a jail at the bayfront site - through this agreement there is no endorsement, nor is the City acquiescing to the concept of locating a jail at Mission Road. He stated that it was incorporated into the agreement to make it implicit. He explained the work to be completed: architectural design work; City staff is to be consulted on the design effort; a joint meeting to effect a timetable and a specific work plan to identify the responsibility of each Agency; then the County will submit material to the State; that the County is under an obligation to commence construction by the end of September 1990. 10/11/89 Page 6 ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS 10.

ITEMS FROM COUNCIL Councilman Nicolopulos spoke of his efforts to facilitate an intermodal tran- sit center in this City to facilitate the movement of the public via multiple modes of transportation, including the merger of rail, automobile, and water transit. He believed that South San Francisco with its access to water, Caltrain, and other interstate highway systems offered an excellent location to bring those various transportation methods together in one convenient point; thereby facilitating the movement of people and relieving the transporation network of congestion and gridlock. He stated that a variety of transpor- tation methods must be examined and con- sidered if the Council was going to provide a vital and healthy economy in northern California. He urged the Council to endorse in concept the idea of developing an intermodal transit system in S.S.F., and direct staff to ascertain whether there were funds available from the State to support such a feasibility study of such a center. Councilman Addiego felt that this was something that should be solved on a regional level, even though he realized Councilman Nicolopulos was very sincere in his endeavors. 10/11/89 Page 9 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN ITEMS FROM COUNCIL 15.

Closed session for the purpose of discussion of personnel matters, labor relations, property nego- tiations and litigation. ITEMS FROM COUNCIL City Manager Armas suggested that the following language be incorporated into the motion under direction to staff, "to finance a study to examine the feasibi- lity and ramifications of such a transit center." M/S Nicolopulos/Haffey - To express sup- port for the concept of intermodal tran- sit center, and to finance a study to examine the feasibility and ramifica- tions of such a transit center. Carried by unanimous roll call vote. Councilman Addiego stated that this was a timely gesture in regards to the situation incurred on Terrabay and its effect on the current residents of the City. He stated that the Council needed to look at the wider problem because a good deal of the noise from the project did not come from activities that could be described as grading related -- it was delivery of materials: watering down of the site, which sometimes began as early as 5:00 a.m., etc. Consensus of Council - To direct staff to prepare an amendment to the grading ordinance. Mayor Teglia stated that she wanted a report from staff at the next meeting with respect to financing plans when the Measure passes in November.
