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.

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.

Closed session for the purpose of

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.
City Manager Armas introduced the new
Director of Economic & Community
