PRESENTATIONS
1. Presentation by HIP Housing regarding its annual calendar contest and distribution. (Leila
Perreras, HIP Housing)
Leila Perreras of HIP Housing thanked Council for its support of the organization's programs. She
noted that HIP's programs address the housing crisis in San Mateo County and stated that due to
housing affordability issues, only 63% of people working in San Mateo County live somewhere
else. She presented Councilmembers with the 2018 calendar that included drawings from
elementary and middle school students depicting the meaning of "home ". She encouraged
Councilmembers and staff to help promote HIP's Home Sharing Program.
2. Presentation by Get Us Moving San Mateo County regarding transportation needs and
funding. (Cory Wolbach, Get Us Moving San Mateo County)
Mayor Pro Tempore Matsumoto, who sits on the SamTrans Board of Directors, introduced the Get
Us Moving (GUM) San Mateo County Presentation by Casey Fromson, SamTrans
Government /Community Affairs Director. She advised the GUM campaign was designed to engage
residents regarding transportation funding needs and priorities in the County. The Mayor Pro
Tempore encouraged residents to fill out the surveys, which would be available at locations
throughout the City during the course of the campaign.
Ms. Fromson then addressed Council providing a PowerPoint presentation regarding the program.
She advised that GUM is collaborative and designed to increase awareness of current transportation
conditions, programs, services and solutions. Further through surveys and other community
engagement mechanisms, SamTrans hoped to develop an understanding of community opinions.
The effort would shape policy goals and drive transportation funding needs and inform future
transportation revenue opportunities and expenditures. Ms. Fromson advised of the hope that the
process would secure a modern and successful transportation system for everybody that lives in the
County while ensuring appropriate funding mechanisms are considered and pursued. With regard to
funding, Ms. Fromson advised of pursuit of a '/2 cent sales tax authorized by AB 1613 (Mullin).
This approach would require approval from the SamTrans Board and County Board of Supervisors
as well as 2/3 approval from County voters. The funding mechanism could be placed on the ballot
as early as November 2018.
Councilman Addiego praised SamTrans for addressing this critical issue. He queried whether the
final expenditure plan would be determined prior to placement on the ballot.
Ms. Fromson confirmed the plan would be in place before the item is placed on the ballot.
3. Presentation regarding online permitting implementation. (Phillip Perry, Chief Building
Official)
Chief Building Official Perry provided a PowerPoint Presentation introducing the City's new
Online Permitting Program. Chief Perry advised the Program was an ongoing, multi - departmental
effort to use online technology to improve customer service, which was fully implemented in March
2017. Mr. Perry stated that over the counter applications account for 25% of permit applications and
include items such as doors, water heaters, furnaces, roofs, windows, bath updates and kitchen
updates. He stated that 133 online permits had been issued to date and the next phase would merge
digital submittal with online permitting. Chief Perry closed by thanking City staff that had worked
hard on the project including, Financial Services Manager Crosby, Accounting Assistant II Parker,
Information Technology Manager Barrera, Permit Technician Kinahan and Building Inspector
Rietdorf.
Mayor Pro Tempore Matsumoto queried the number of over the counter permits submitted by home
owners verses businesses and development companies.
Chief Perry responded that to determine a precise number he would have to run a report, however
he estimated that most were submitted by local contractors.

comply and obtain permits for this purpose.
PUBLIC COMMENTS
Gabe Gonzalez Jr. addressed Council to request a sewer extension for his home at 297 Alta Vista
Drive in the unincorporated area of the City. He advised that he had a septic system on property,
which was not environmentally friendly. He hoped to be able to connect to the City's sewer main at
the rear of his property and would pay all required fees and expenses.
John McGoughlin of the San Bruno Community Foundation addressed Council regarding Item 21
on the agenda regarding a $25,000 grant to Project Read. He requested that Council authorize the
Library Department to accept the grant which would permit continued expansion of the service to
San Bruno's underserved neighborhoods.
Councilmembers thanked the San Bruno Community Foundation for its award of funds.
COUNCIL COMMENTS /REQUESTS
Councilman Garbarino advised he had meetings coming up with the Governor and Senator de Leon,
which he would report on at an upcoming meeting.
Mayor Pro Tempore Matsumoto requested that the influx of youth basketball signs on public
property be removed pursuant to the City's Sign Ordinance. She also requested that a sign on public
property at Chestnut Avenue and Commercial Avenue concerning boxing matches be removed.

exiting northbound. She announced that the diversity website she had been working on with an
intern and staff would soon be going live and she welcomed feedback.
Councilman Addiego commented on his attendance at the installation of Dave Pine as the President
of the County Board of Supervisors at an event in Redwood City. He commented on some of the
goals Supervisor Pine mentioned for the coming year and noted that the hiring of a new County
Manager was among them. President Pine insisted that the Board would work closely with
SamTrans on matters of public transportation. Significant points of focus also included Bay
conservation and development. Councilman Addiego also commented on the visual blight caused
by the installation of a billboard near the freeway that is visible driving east down Baden Avenue.
He suggested that Council and staff put as much effort as possible into visualizing placements on
future applications.

4. Report regarding ordinance amending Chapter 8.67 of the South San Francisco Municipal
Code revising the method of calculation for the Parkland Acquisition Fee and a Parks
Construction Fee for Non - Residential Developments. (Richard Lee, Director of Finance)
4a. Resolution No. 1 -2018 affirming Average Fair Market Value per Acre of Park Land,
adjusting the Average Park Construction Cost per Acre, and establishing an Administrative
Fee pursuant to Chapter 8.67 of the South San Francisco Municipal Code.
4b.Ordinance amending Chapter 8.67 of the South San Francisco Municipal Code revising
the method of calculation for the Parkland Acquisition Fee and a Parks Construction Fee for
Non - Residential Developments.
Public Hearing opened: 7:45 pm.
Director of Finance Lee presented the staff report recommending that Council waive reading and
adopt an ordinance amending Chapter 8.67 of the South San Francisco Municipal Code revising the
method of calculation for the Parkland Acquisition Fee and a Parks Construction Fee for Non -
Residential Developments and approve a resolution affirming Average Fair Market Value per Acre
of Park Land, adjusting the Average Park Construction Cost per Acre, and establishing an
Administrative Fee pursuant to Chapter 8.67 of the South San Francisco Municipal Code. He
advised that adoption of the amended ordinance would correct calculation of the Park Land
Acquisition and Parks Construction fees for non - residential developments. Adoption of the
resolution would affirm the Fair Market Value per Acre as set by the 2016 study, adjust the
Construction Cost per Acre by the CCI, and approve an Administrative Fee for the Park Land
Acquisition Fee and Parks Construction Fee. Director Lee stated that the ordinance was originally
approved in April 2016, and the parkland fees were modified in June 2017. At that time the discount
rate applied to park fees for nonresidential was misstated. The proposed amended ordinance
corrects the calculation.
In response to a question from Mayor Pro Tempore Matsumoto, Director Lee advised the proceeds
from the fees could be used anywhere in the City without geographic or neighborhood limitation.
Councilman Garbarino queried the nature of the discrepancy being corrected.
Director Lee advised the discount rate should have been listed at 75% as opposed to 25 %.
Public Hearing Closed: 7:47 p.m.
Motion — Councilman Garbarino /Second — Councilman Gupta: to approve Resolution No. 1 -2018.

5. Report regarding a resolution approving the purchase and installation of three sculptures:
Windswept, by Brian F. Russell, purchase price of $18,000; Slices of Heaven by Craig Gray,
purchase price of $16,000; and Popsicles by Craig Gray, purchase price of $16,000, and
amending the Fiscal Year 2017 -18 Parks and Recreation Department operating budget by
$50,000 pursuant to Budget Amendment #18.016. (Sharon Ranals, Parks and Recreation
Director)
5b. Resolution No. 2 -2018 approving the purchase and installation of three sculptures:
Windswept, by Brian F. Russell, purchase price of $18,000; Slices of Heaven by Craig Gray,
purchase price of $16,000; and Popsicles by Craig Gray, purchase price of $16,000; and
amending the Fiscal Year 2017 -18 Parks and Recreation Department operating budget by
$50,000 pursuant to Budget Amendment #18.016.
Director of Parks and Recreation Ranals presented the staff report recommending that Council
approve the purchase and installation of three sculptures: Windswept, by Brian F. Russell, purchase
price of $18,000, to be installed on Westborough Boulevard median west of the Highway 280 off
ramp; Slices of Heaven by Craig Gray, purchase price of $16,000, to be installed on Tennis Drive at
the east end of the Sculpture Garden at Orange Memorial Park; and Popsicles by Craig Gray,
purchase price of $16,000, to be installed at the entrance to Centennial Way across from the South
San Francisco BART Station; and amend the Fiscal Year 2017 -18 Parks and Recreation Department
operating budget by $50,000 pursuant to Budget Amendment #18.016. Director Ranals advised the
sculptures had been selected by a subcommittee of the Cultural arts Commission and recommended
for placement by the same group. She provided a PowerPoint Presentation depicting the sculptures.
Director Ranals further advised that a budget amendment was necessary because the funds allocated
for this purpose in the 2016/2017 FY operating Budget were not encumbered in June.
Councilman Gupta stated appreciation for the Commission's work. However, Popsicles and Slices
of Heaven did not appeal to him as a reflection of the City. He believed Popsicles to be too trendy
for installation near BART.
Councilman Addiego stated he believed Windswept to be a homerun and saw it as a potential
companion piece for the Millennium Sculpture already in the Intersection of Westborough
Boulevard and Junipero Serra Boulevard. Accordingly, he suggested it be placed east of the
Intersection as opposed to west of the freeway off ramp. The Councilman stated that Windswept
celebrated the history of South San Francisco as well as its current direction. He opined that
Popsicles was more of a playful childlike sculpture and would be best placed between the
swimming pool and playground in Orange Memorial Park. He was not fond of Slices of Heaven and
could not envision its placement. The Councilman stated he could not support the final two pieces
unless appropriate locations could be found.
Councilman Garbarino stated the children's play area at Orange Memorial Park was the most
suitable placement for Popsicles. He was fine with the selected site for Windswept. He also liked
the placement of Slices of Heaven on Tennis Drive in Orange Memorial Park near the Farmer's
Market and as homage to the Park's name.
Mayor Pro Tempore Matsumoto expressed appreciation for all three (3) pieces. She liked the idea of
whimsical art that Popsicles and Slices of Heaven brought to the community. She stated that she

had believed the piece placed near Starbucks a few years back was too whimsical and now she
appreciated it. She believed Popsicles and Slices of Heaven would have the same impact. She would
also be comfortable with the location Councilman Addiego selected for Popsicles.
Councilman Gupta stated he could support Popsicles based on Councilman Addiego's suggestion
that it be placed near the children's play area at Orange Memorial Park.
Mayor Normandy believed Windswept was fitting of South San Francisco and approved of its
suggested placement. She further approved of the suggested location for Slices of Heaven. She was
comfortable with the location Councilman Addiego suggested for Popsicles.
Motion — Councilman Addiego /Second — Councilman Garbarino: to approve Resolution No. 2 -2018
as modified to include the installation of Popsicles at a future site to be determined based on
Council discussion near a children's play area in Orange Memorial Park. Unanimously approved by
roll call vote.
6. Report regarding a resolution approving the transfer of ownership of a modular trailer
installed at the bocce courts at Orange Memorial Park to the Italian American Citizens Club
and executing a new Lease Agreement to define the terms and conditions for the Italian
American Citizens Club's use of the trailer on City property. (Sharon Ranals, Parks and
Recreation Director)
6b. Resolution approving the transfer of ownership of a modular trailer installed at the bocce
courts at Orange Memorial Park to the Italian American Citizens Club and executing a new
Lease Agreement to define the terms and conditions for the Italian American Citizens Club's
use of the trailer on City property
This item was tabled to permit the City Attorney to look into a potential conflict of interest issue
related to four (4) of the five (5) Councilmembers' possible membership in the Italian American
Citizens Club (IACC). Accordingly, the Mayor did not entertain a motion on the item. Before this
potential conflict came to light, Councilmembers had expressed concern regarding issues related to
the trailer's compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Specifically, Mayor Pro
Tempore Matsumoto believed the bathroom to be potentially unsafe and noted the stairs to the
trailer were wobbly.
Facilities Manager Crume advised that as currently configured, the agreement would not require
ADA upgrades to the bathroom.
The Mayor Pro Tempore questioned the City's liability in this regard.
City Attorney Rosenberg advised the question had a two (2) part answer. First, the lease agreement
required that the IACC build an ADA compliant ramp. The agreement was silent on the bathroom,
and an ADA upgrade was not a term of the purchase and sale agreement for the trailer. Further, the
lease document is structured to take some of the responsibility off of the City. For example, the
trailer would become the property of the IACC and the City would not maintain it. The City owns
the space on which the trailer sits and standard indemnification agreements are in place.

7. Report regarding a resolution authorizing the City Manager to approve a consulting services
agreement with Biggs Cardosa Associates Inc., of San Jose, California for construction
management and inspection services for the South Airport Bridge Replacement Project
(Project No. st1301) in an amount not to exceed $560,411, for a total construction
management budget of $616,452. (Sam Bautista, Principal Engineer)
7a. Resolution No. 3 -2018 authorizing the City Manager to approve a consulting services
agreement with Biggs Cardosa Associates Inc., of San Jose, California for construction
management and inspection services for the South Airport Bridge Replacement Project
(Project No. st1301) in an amount not to exceed $560,411, for a total construction
management budget of $616,452.
Senior Civil Engineer Cho presented the staff report recommending that Council approve a
resolution authorizing the City Manager to approve a consulting services agreement with Biggs
Cardosa Associates Inc., of San Jose, California for construction management and inspection
services for the South Airport Bridge Replacement Project (Project No. st1301) in an amount not to
exceed $560,411, for a total construction management budget of $616,452. Engineer Cho advised
that the South Airport Boulevard Bridge at North Access Road and the I -380 Freeway onramp must
be replaced. The inspection performed by Caltrans in May 2009 determined that the bridge's weight
bearing capacity must be reduced due to deterioration of the underlying wood piles. Caltrans and
the City obtained funding from the Federal Highway Administration for the Project's new design
and construction costs. Staff issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) through eBidboard for
construction management services for the Project in June 2017. Staff received responses to the RFP
on August 17, 2017, from four (4) firms: K &B Construction Services, Inc., Caltrop /TRC Solutions,
Zoon Engineering and Biggs Cardosa Associates, Inc. After the review and scoring of the proposals,
interviews were held with all four (4) firms on November 8, 2017. The selection panel members
concluded that Biggs Cardosa was the best qualified firm to provide the construction management
and inspection services for this project based on both proposal and interview.
Mayor Pro Tempore Matsumoto queried the lack of an engineers' estimate in the staff report. She
also requested that photos be included in staff reports of this nature. For example, in this instance a
photo of the bridge would have been helpful. Regarding the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise
(DBE) requirement, the Mayor Pro Tempore suggested raising it from %2 percent to 1 percent.
Engineer Cho advised that engineers' estimates do not accompany consulting contracts, but
typically staff estimates that the contract will run 8 -10% of construction costs. He further agreed
that photos would be helpful to staff reports on projects such as this one and agreed to incorporate
them in the future.
In response to a question from Councilman Gupta regarding grant funding on the project, Engineer
Cho advised the grant accounted for a substantial amount of the funding.
Motion —Mayor Pro Tempore Matsumoto /Second — Councilman Gupta: to approve Resolution No.

Citywide Gap Closure - Haskins Sidewalk Project (Project No. stl402) in the amount of $356,982
and authorizing the City Manager to execute the agreement. The agreement would allow the City to
seek reimbursement at the maximum of $356,982 of eligible construction phase costs for the
project.
Mayor Pro Tempore Matsumoto commented that a photo of the sidewalk at issue would have
provided more background as to the nature of the repair.
Councilman Garbarino commented that the total cost of the work seemed quite pricey for a
sidewalk repair.
Engineer Cho advised that complex tree removal issues contributed to the cost of this contract.
In response to a question from Mayor Pro Tempore Matsumoto, Engineer Cho confirmed the state
would reimburse the City upon completion of the work.
Motion — Councilman Addiego /Second — Councilman Garbarino: to approve Resolution No. 4-
2018. Unanimously approved by roll call vote.
9. Report regarding resolution supporting the submission of an application for Measure A
Pedestrian and Bicycle Program Funding for $600,000 for the South San Francisco Regional

9a. Resolution No. 5 -2018 supporting the submission of an application for Measure A
Pedestrian and Bicycle Program Funding for $600,000 for the South San Francisco Regional
Bike Network Connectivity Project.
Senior Civil Engineer Cho presented the staff report recommending that Council approve a
resolution supporting the submission of an application for Measure A Pedestrian and Bicycle
Program Funding for $600,000 for the South San Francisco Regional Bike Network Connectivity
Project. Engineer Cho advised that the Transportation Authority issued a Call for Projects for the
Measure A Pedestrian and Bicycle Program funds on November 6, 2017. The TA requires
applicants for Measure A funds to submit a resolution in support of the application. Regarding the
proposed project, there is a gap in connectivity for pedestrians and bicyclists on the Bay Trail
Corridor, which is used by both commuters and recreational users, and along the North -South
Bikeway Corridor, which is used primarily by commuters. The Bikeway Corridor connects to bike
lanes that reach mass transit hubs such as the Ferry Terminal. The proposed resolution would be
submitted along with the grant application seeking funding.

10a. Resolution No. 6 -2018 awarding a construction contract to W. Bradley Electric, Inc. of
Novato, California for the Grand Avenue and West Orange Avenue Pedestrian Crossing
Improvements (Project No. stl706) in an amount not to exceed $341,100 and authorizing a

Senior Civil Engineer Cho presented the staff report recommending that Council approve a
Resolution awarding a construction contract to W. Bradley Electric, Inc. of Novato, California for
the Grand Avenue and West Orange Avenue Pedestrian Crossing Improvements (Project No.
st1706) in an amount not to exceed $341,100 and authorizing a total construction budget of
$426,375. Engineer Cho advised the project proposes to upgrade the safety at existing pedestrian
crossings on Grand Avenue between Cypress and Walnut Avenues and on West Orange Avenue at
Centennial Way Trail. He stated that Grand Avenue is the street with the highest volume of
pedestrians in the City. The proposed rectangular rapid flashing beacon (RRFB) devices would
provide better visibility for motorists driving on Grand Avenue to yield to pedestrians in advance of
mid -block crosswalks and uncontrolled intersections. Two RRFBs will be installed for each
crosswalk. In addition to standard push- button activation, the City would also install a passive
detection device (camera) to detect pedestrians at the sidewalks waiting to cross the street. The
proposed RRFB device would be powered by solar energy and will not require any trenching in the
street or sidewalk.
Councilman Addiego commented that the devices were greatly needed, despite not liking their
appearance.
Councilman Gupta concurred that the devices were necessary. He queried whether they would
clutter the sidewalk.
Engineer Cho advised that since no trenching was necessary and the devices would be placed in
bulb outs, their impact to sidewalk space would be minimal.
Councilman Garbarino encouraged expanding the program to other dangerous intersections in the
City.

parking spaces at Magnolia Center.
Mr. Caylao advised the former Director of the Senior Center had concerns about maneuverability if
additional spaces were added.
