IC and ID construction and outreach. He commented on the very successful groundbreaking event
that was held earlier in the day and began a PowerPoint presentation. The first slide depicted the
existing conditions at Oyster Point. The next slide presented the Phasing Plan for the project. Next,
a slide showing the results of completion of Phases IC and ID was presented. Upon completion, the
relevant portions of Oyster Point would include a new building, open space park and hotel site with
related improvements, including public restrooms and an improved pump station. Improvements to
Oyster Point Boulevard, including the addition of new sections were included in the plans.
Mr. Saulter identified the following stakeholders related to completion of Phase 1C: 1) Bay Trail
Hikers, Joggers, Walkers & Bicyclists; 2) Oyster Point Marina daily users, boat slip tenants and
"live-aboards;" 3) local biotech employees; 4) South San Francisco Parks and Recreation
Department; 5) San Mateo County Harbor District and 6) Oyster Point Yacht Club members. Mr.
Saulter advised community meetings with stakeholders had been held in May and September of
2017 and an additional meeting was planned for December. Further, the project website was
continuously updated. This winter road closures in the area would begin as would detours and
rerouting of traffic to temporary roads, which would be constructed off of Oyster Park Boulevard.
The temporary roads would permit continuous access to the Marina, Bay Trail, Ferry Terminal and
Yacht Club areas. Ultimately the project would provide new streets linking Oyster Point Boulevard
to the Marina. Completion of Phase IC was expected by summer/fall 2019.

the City of South San Francisco for the office/research & development campus at 249-279 East
Grand Avenue.
Associate Planner Wassum presented the staff report regarding the third amendment to the
Development Agreement and recommending that Council take the following actions: 1) adopt a
resolution making findings and a determination that the project is fully within the scope of
environmental analysis provided in the 2005 Environmental Impact Report, the 2017 Addendum is
the appropriate environmental document for the project, and no further environmental review is
required per the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines; and 2) adopt a

Verily. Proposed amendments to the development agreement were as follows: 1) increasing the
unbuilt 4th building at 279 E. Grand from 4-6 stories,with an additional 69,059 square feet; 2)
building only one (1) of the planned two (2) parking structures and 3) parking reduction request to

Malcomson depicting slides of the project and proposed changes.
REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING OCTOBER 11,2017
MINUTES PAGE 5
Councilman Addiego commented on the aggressive and successful Transportation Demand
Management(TDM) Program.
Councilwoman Matsumoto seconded this observation noting that 70% of Verily employees
accessed transportation programs.
Public Hearing opened: 8:07 p.m.
Public Hearing closed: 8:08 p.m.
Councilwoman Matsumoto advised she would prefer that the Parks and Recreation Department
review landscaping on the project as opposed to the Chief Planner.
Chief Planner Mehra advised he would work in concert with the Land Scape Architect being hired
in the Parks and Recreation Department.
Councilwoman Matsumoto commented that she really liked the TDM Program. She queried the
status of the City's TDM ordinance.
Chief Planner Mehra advised a consultant was presently working on a system-wide audit of the
City's TDM Program. Further the City had issued a letter to all entities with a TDM putting them
on notice that the City was seeking compliance data to be used for enforcement.
Councilwoman Matsumoto queried the breakdown of transportation methods being utilized at
Verily.
Verily advised that it had recently polled its employees revealing that 176 employees had Go Passes
for Caltrain, 39 also have passes for commute.org and another 46 have Clipper Cards. Bart,
bicycling and carpooling were also accessed as means of transportation.
Councilman Garbarino commented on the comprehensiveness of the staff report. He further
commended Verily's TDM Program.
Councilman Addiego opined that if Verily could achieve this level of success with its TDM
Program, the same standards should be applied to other local companies.
Mayor Gupta queried the application of impact fees related to the project.
Fire Chief Kohlman advised of some of the public safety challenges related to R&D labs placed on
upper floors of buildings. Access to these floors was compromised and City equipment would not
necessarily reach the upper limits of buildings. Accordingly, additional resources would be called in
to combat emergencies in these buildings.
Councilman Addiego commented that establishment of a formal public safety fee to accommodate
changing needs in the East of 101 Area was warranted in the future. Councilman Garbarino agreed.
Motion—Councilman Garbarino/Second—Councilman Addiego: to approve Resolution No. 127-
2017. Unanimously approved by roll call vote.

ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS
9. Report regarding resolution approving Local Goals and Policies for Community Facilities
Districts. (Marian Lee,Assistant City Manager and Steve Mattas, Assistant City Attorney)
9a. Resolution No. 129-2017 approving Local Goals and Policies for Community Facility Districts.
City Manager Futrell presented the staff report recommending that Council adopt a resolution
approving local goals and policies for community facilities districts (CFDs). He advised the
proposed action was administrative in nature and required by state law if CFDs are to be permitted
within a City. Approval would proactively position the City to be in compliance with state law for
proposed CFDs in the future. The proposed resolution provides guidance for the City to conduct
formation proceedings and to issue bonds secured by special taxes levied in a CFD. The policies are
intended to be general in nature and are only applicable to special tax financings under the Act. In
addition,the policies are subject to amendment by the City Council at any time.
Councilwoman Matsumoto stated her belief in infrastructure,but queried the impact of a CFD on an
outvoted property owner.
City Manager Futrell advised that not unlike a general tax payer that voted against a particular tax-
but pays that tax on property anyway- an outvoted CFD member would pay its proportionate share
of the tax on the properties in the CFD. In theory, the value of its property should go up as a result
of the improvements in the district.
In response to further inquiry from Councilmembers, City Manager Futrell advised a Mello-Roose
District is a common mechanism to finance infrastructure needed to support large projects in
underdeveloped areas.
Councilwoman Matsumoto queried how the funds could be applied.
City Manager Futrell advised CFD funds could be applied to multiple needs, including less or more
police protection, park maintenance and other infrastructure. The advantage of a CFD as opposed
to a one-time fee is that CFD funding can be used for maintenance.
Councilwoman Matsumoto queried how property owners pay for CFDs.
City Manager Futrell advised that often the cost is passed on in lease documents.
REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING OCTOBER 11,2017
MINUTES PAGE 7
City Attorney Rosenberg advised Council the present item was focused on the state law requirement
pertinent to a statement of local goals and policies and was general in nature. Having the statement
on file would permit CFD formation in the City. Specific CFDs could then be formed and would
have their own details and specifics.
In response to a question from Councilman Addiego, City Manager Futrell advised CFDs could
include bond financing.
In response to a question from Councilwoman Matsumoto, City Manager Futrell advised a CFD
could be used to secure gap funding for large transportation projects.
Vice Mayor Normandy queried Police protection services.
City Manager Futrell advised a CFD could be used flexibly to fund police protection services if
needed in a specific area.
Motion—Councilman Garbarino/Second—Councilman Addiego: to approve Resolution No. 129-
2017. Unanimously approved by roll call vote.
10. Report regarding a resolution of intent to establish a City of South San Francisco Community
Facilities District No. 2017-01 (Public Services and Facilities). (Marian Lee, Assistant City
Manager and Steve Mattas, Assistant City Attorney)
10a. Resolution No. 130-2017 of intent to establish a City of South San Francisco Community
Facilities District No. 2017-01 (Public Services and Facilities).
City Manager Futrell presented the staff report recommending that Council adopt a motion
authorizing the City Manager to sign the Consent and Waiver Form on behalf of the City and adopt
a resolution of intention to establish a CFD in order to declare the City Council's intention to form a
CFD to be known as the "City of South San Francisco Community Facilities District No. 2017-01
(Public Services and Facilities)" and set a public hearing date regarding the formation of the CFD
for November 20, 2017. He explained that formation of a CFD was a three (3)-part process. The
first action -- adoption of a resolution establishing guidelines for this proposed CFD -- was being
recommended this evening. If this action was approved, Council would schedule a public hearing
on November 20, 2017 to take public testimony. Finally, a subsequent meeting would be set for the
landowner election and final formation.
City Manager Futrell explained that the properties within the boundaries of the proposed CFD are
owned by three (3) different landowners - the City, Oyster Point Development, LLC. (OPD) and
Kashiwa Fudosan America, Inc. (Kashiwa). OPD has consented to the formation of the CFD and
staff is recommending that the City, as property owner of lands within the proposed CFD, also
consent to the formation of the CFD by authorizing the City Manager to sign a Consent and Waiver
form related to formation of the CFD. Staff met with representatives of Kashiwa and it is opposed
to the proposed application of the CFD to its property.
REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING OCTOBER 11,2017
MINUTES PAGE 8
Mr. Futrell advised the proposed CFD would fund the repair and replacement of the fuel system at
Oyster Point Marina and fund on-going maintenance and operations of the new public
improvements to be constructed at Oyster Point, including: Police protection services, roadway
maintenance, streetlight maintenance and operations, traffic signal maintenance and operations,
parks, waterfront and Bay Trail maintenance, landscaping, parkway, median and open space
maintenance, including erosion prevention, public surface parking maintenance, operation and
maintenance of public restroom buildings, and operation and maintenance of storm drainage
systems. Accordingly, staff recommended approval of the recommended motion and resolution.
On behalf of Kashiwa, Attorney David Cincotta addressed Council and advised that his client could
not support formation of the proposed CFD. His client hoped to continue discussions with City
staff,but did not see a benefit to its property. Instead, it believed that the Police protection services,
parks and waterfront improvements would benefit the City and OPD. It further questioned why
other commercial enterprises in the area were not being included in the CFD, so as to reduce the
amount of the assessment on the members of the CFD. He closed by reiterating that at this point in
time, Kashiwa could not support the formation of the CFD.
Councilwoman Matsumoto asked Mr. Cincotta whether there was any part of the CFD proposal that
his client could support. She further queried how long Kashiwa had been at its South San Francisco
location.
Mr. Cincotta responded that his client had owned the property for over seven (7) years, and
reiterated the objection to the CFD. He noted, however, that his client pays its taxes and intends to
stay at its location. It does not know, however, whether the market will support passing the costs of
the CFD tax to its tenants.
Councilwoman Matsumoto queried the option of expanding the CFD outside of the three (3) entities
presently identified.
City Manager Futrell advised this option would require further negotiation with other parties to seek
consent. Present negotiations with the consenting party had taken eight (8) months. If such
negotiations had to be revisited and undertaken with additional parties, he was unsure of the
outcome. He further opined that the proposed public infrastructure improvements would benefit
Kashiwa's property- particularly in the form of roads, drainage and street lights. The proposed CFD
concerns the three (3) property owners most heavily impacted by the improvements. He did not
believe this to be a case in which OPD would benefit disproportionately.
Councilwoman Matsumoto stated a difference of opinion in the sense that OPD and the City would
benefit greatly.
Councilman Addiego endeavored to calculate the proposed tax burden on Kashiwa's property per
square foot.
Assistant City Manager Lee advised the key rationale for selecting these three (3) property owners
is the geographical nexus in of the proposed public infrastructure improvements and their impact on
the actual contribution to the CFD funding. The proposal was based on an equitable formula as
follows: As OPD was the largest impacted land owner in the proposed CFD, it would pay about
70%, Kashiwa was next in line and would pay about 28% and the hotel would have the
responsibility for about 2% of the District.
REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING OCTOBER 11,2017
MINUTES PAGE 9
Councilman Addiego believed the figures to yield a roughly 10%push on Kashiwa, which he stated
was not insignificant on a base of$3 per square foot.
Motion-Vice Mayor Normandy/Second- Councilman Garbarino: to authorize the City Manager
to sign the Consent and Waiver Form on behalf of the City. Approved by the following roll call
vote: AYES: Vice Mayor Normandy, Councilman Garbarino, Councilman Addiego and Mayor
Gupta;NAYS: Councilwoman Matsumoto. ABSTAIN: None. ABSENT: None.

2017. Approved by the following roll call vote: AYES: Vice Mayor Normandy, Councilman
Garbarino, Councilman Addiego and Mayor Gupta; NAYS: Councilwoman Matsumoto.
ABSTAIN: None. ABSENT: None.
Councilman Addiego corrected the calculation he had previously quoted noting that an estimated
impact of 1%would be expected on Kashiwa as opposed to the 10% figure he had earlier stated.
11. Report regarding adoption of a resolution of intent to approve an amendment to the contract
between the board of administration California Public Employees' Retirement System and the City
of South San Francisco, implementing the ability for Classic Safety members to pay a portion of the
employer share of their Ca1PERS pension costs. (LaTanya Bellow, Human Resources Director)
11 a. Resolution No. 131-2017 of intention to approve an amendment to contract between the Board
of Administration California Public Employees' Retirement System and the City Council, City of
South San Francisco, implementing the ability for Classic Safety members to pay a portion of the
employer share of their Ca1PERS pension costs.
Human Resources Director Bellow presented the staff report recommending that Council adopt a
resolution of intent to amend the City's contract with Ca1PERS in order to implement the Council's
adoption of the four Public Safety labor agreements on June 27 and 28, 2017, which included
provisions that all the Classic Safety Employees contribute to the employer share of their Ca1PERS
pension costs. She explained that the Ca1PERS regulations require that the City first adopt a
resolution of intent to approve an amendment to the contract between Ca1PERS and the City, which
the proposed resolution will accomplish. Upon adoption of this resolution, affected employees will
participate in a ballot election, after which the City must introduce an ordinance which is expected
on October 25th.

item that reflected a reimbursement to her for a hotel stay associated with City Council related

payments reflected workers compensation payments to employees processed through Tristar. The
Councilwoman next queried recent monthly payments to Ca1PERS. Director Lee advised that
