COUNCIL COMMENTS /REQUESTS Councilman Addiego introduced the idea of inviting SummerHill Homes and Republic Metropolitan back to the selection process for the PUC Development. He noted that as a result of public input at a March 281h special meeting of the City Council, the developer selection decision had been put on hold to allow additional time for public input. In the interim, the two (2) developers that had submitted to the Housing Standing Committee and were not invited to continue in the process had reached out stating they believed their respective projects might interest the public in light of comments made at the March 281h meeting. Councilman Addiego thought this was advisable. Councilman Gupta and Mayor Normandy concurred.

Report regarding an ordinance amending Chapter 20.410 of the South San Francisco Municipal Code to permit and regulate indoor commercial cultivation of cannabis. (Rozalynne Thompson, Associate Planner) 5a. Ordinance amending Chapter 20.410 of the South San Francisco Municipal Code to permit and regulate indoor commercial cultivation of cannabis. Director of Economic and Community Development Greenwood presented the staff report recommending that Council waive reading and adopt an ordinance amending Chapter 20.410 of the South San Francisco Municipal Code to permit and regulate indoor commercial cultivation of cannabis. Director Greenwood advised that in January 2018, Council considered an ordinance to permit and regulate commercial cannabis manufacturing, testing, distribution, and delivery -only businesses and to prohibit commercial cannabis microbusinesses and indoor cultivation. Council introduced and later adopted that ordinance excepting the prohibition on indoor cultivation and leaving the moratorium intact as to that piece. It directed staff to prepare an ordinance to permit and regulate commercial cannabis indoor cultivation uses for future consideration. As a result, staff has prepared the presently proposed ordinance to regulate indoor commercial cultivation of cannabis, based on feedback received at a series of study sessions that took place throughout 2017 and the City Council's direction at the January 24th City Council meeting. Chapter 20.410 defines "indoor commercial cannabis cultivation" as cultivation of cannabis within a "fully enclosed, permanent, secure structure" that uses exclusively artificial lighting, which would allow businesses meeting REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 11, 2018 MINUTES PAGE 3 these requirements to operate within the city. Similar to the regulations for cannabis manufacturing, testing, distribution, and delivery -only uses, the proposed ordinance limits indoor cultivation uses to certain zoning districts east of Highway 101. Cultivation uses will be permitted only upon issuance of a conditional use permit and in compliance with operational standards specific to indoor cultivation uses, including renewable energy requirements and installation and maintenance of air filtration systems to prevent the detection of odors. In addition, the 600 -foot minimum distance restriction from residential uses, day care centers, youth centers, and K -12 schools, as well as the operator permit requirements, will also apply to indoor cultivation uses. Accordingly, staff recommended that Council introduce the ordinance and waive further reading. Public Hearing opened: 8:08 p.m. Public Hearing closed: 8:08 p.m. Councilman Gupta invited Acting Fire Chief Magallanes to address certain safety related issues in cultivation facilities. Acting Fire Chief Magallanes advised that in illegal cultivation grows there are often traps and other devices set to cause a disturbance when the site is disrupted. These concerns would not be expected at legal cultivation sites. Further regarding combustion, some home grows would use propane to assist cultivation in an unsafe manner. In the case of legal cultivation where building and fire codes are followed, these concerns would not be expected. In response to a question from Mayor Normandy, Director of Economic and Community Development Greenwood advised signs for these facilities would be small and limited in scope. Motion — Councilman Addiego /Second— Councilman Gupta: to waive reading and introduce an ordinance amending Chapter 20.410 of the South San Francisco Municipal Code to permit and regulate indoor commercial cultivation of cannabis. Unanimously approved by the following roll call vote: AYES: Councilmen Addiego and Gupta and Mayor Normandy; NAYS: None; ABSENT: Councilman Garbarino and Mayor Pro Tem Matsumoto; ABSTAIN: None. City Manager Futrell thanked Council for its hard work on the cannabis issue, which began in late 2016 as soon as cannabis was legalized in November 2016 election. This marked the tenth and final meeting on the issue of City regulations. ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS 6. Report regarding a resolution of the City Council of the City of South San Francisco declaring its intent to transition from at -large elections to district -based councilmember elections pursuant to California Elections Code Section 10010. (Jason Rosenberg, City Attorney) 6a. Resolution No. 52 -2018 of the City Council of the City of South San Francisco declaring its intent to transition from at -large elections to district -based councilmember elections pursuant to Elections Code Section 10010. City Attorney Rosenberg presented the staff report recommending that Council adopt a resolution declaring its intent to transition from at -large elections to district -based councilmember elections pursuant to Elections Code Section 10010. He provided a PowerPoint presentation establishing the background circumstances advising that on March 6, 2018 the City received a certified demand REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 11, 2018 MINUTES PAGE 4 letter from Shenkman & Hughes, PC alleging a California Voting Rights Act (CVRA) violation. The CVRA prohibits at -large elections from diluting votes of a protected class, such as race or language. The CVRA establishes a lower threshold than the federal statute, in that intent is not a necessary element of the violation. It is sufficient that the plaintiff establishes that a disparity exists. The City Attorney explained that the City's current system uses At -Large Elections, in which voters from the entire City choose all five (5) Councilmembers. District Elections would require the creation of Maps to divide the City into separate districts. He explained the two (2) types of District Elections, including "From District" and `By District." "From District" Elections require voters from the entire city to choose five (5) Councilmembers with one (1) Councilmember residing in each district. In `By District" Elections, only the voters who reside in the same district where the candidate lives may vote for the seat in that district. If the City shifts to `By District" Elections, then it can avail itself of the CVRA statutory Safe Harbor. Pursuant to the Safe Harbor, if the City shifts to `By District" Elections and adheres to a strict set of timeline in this process, its liability- if any- would be capped at $30,000. The City Attorney next outlined the timeline of action as follows: 1) Within 45 days of receipt of a CVRA Demand Letter- Adopt a resolution of intention to transition to by district" elections; 2) Within 90 days- Hold 2 public hearings for public input on maps, hold 2 public hearings to draw maps and introduce and adopt the ordinance shifting to `By District" Elections. City Attorney Rosenberg recommended utilizing the Safe Harbor because of the CVRA's legal and financial implications. The Plaintiff has a low bar to prevail in a CVRA lawsuit; and even when the City prevails, another plaintiff may later allege a CVRA violation. Mr. Rosenberg anticipated legal fees of at least $500,000 for the City based on this case alone. Further if the City is unsuccessful, the City must pay the plaintiff's legal fees. The estimate of Plaintiff's legal fees is a broad range of $385,000 to $4,500,000. Additionally, if litigation is successful, the Court imposes district elections and draws the district maps. Mr. Rosenberg outlined the criteria for drawing maps, noting that race cannot be a factor. He also provided a timeline for action through July 11, 2018. Resident, former Mayor and former Councilmember, Hon. Pedro Gonzalez addressed Council in support of district elections. He hoped boundaries could be drawn according to voter participation rates as opposed to population. In response to a question from Councilman Addiego, City Attorney Rosenberg advised the maps are drawn based on population, not voter participation rates. In response to a question from resident Mina Richardson, City Attorney Rosenberg confirmed that staff recommended `By District" Elections so that the Safe Harbor would protect the City moving forward. Mrs. Richardson addressed Council in support of district elections. She believed the current Council was out of synch with the public's needs. She alleged hostility at City Hall, claiming that email submissions are blocked and technology is used to keep the public misinformed. She stated Measure W was billed as a tax to protect the public against non - existent gangs and potholes and as such only required a simple majority. She continued stating that neighbors have long felt irrelevant and she believed district elections could help remedy this issue. Mrs. Richardson closed her statement by submitting a letter for the record of the meeting. The letter was incorporated in the online and hard copy packets of the meeting. REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 11, 2018 MINUTES PAGE 5 Resident Luis De Paz addressed Council to express support for the prospect of moving towards `By District" Elections. He believed it would give a voice to more residents and yield the best the City has to offer from all areas. Resident Donald Jacoberger of the Westborough area asked whether the City would utilize the criteria employed for drawing state congressional districts. He commented on the importance of preserving neighborhood integrity in the process. City Attorney Rosenberg advised district mapping would be based on factors similar to those that are used to draw congressional districts. In response to an additional question from Mr. Jacoberger, Mr. Rosenberg advised the Council would confirm the district lines under the currently proposed process. Resident Judy McKever presented the following three (3) questions: 1) what if two (2) seated Councilmembers live in the same area; 2) will someone from the public work on the mapping process; and 3) what assurances are there against redlining redlining. She asked that Council consider these inquiries during upcoming hearings on the process. City Attorney Rosenberg advised redlining is illegal and the City would not so engage. Further, in order to stick to the Safe Harbor timelines, Council would be confirming the maps with the help of a demographer, and would hold two (2) public hearings on the process. Resident Eldie Gonzalez spoke in favor of term limits. Councilman Gupta spoke in favor of the objectives of `By District" voting. He believed getting the best possible representative from every neighborhood was important to decision making. He acknowledged that the first election to be impacted would take place in 2020. He queried how seated councilmembers would be impacted. City Attorney Rosenberg advised that seated Councilmembers' current terms would not be cut short. However, current Councilmembers' residences would not be taken into account in the map drawing process. Accordingly, it was conceivable that two (2) or more current Councilmembers could end up coming from a single district. Sequencing of districts up for elections would be recommended by the demographer. Councilman Addiego opined this was an opportunity to create excitement in the neighborhoods again. In response to a question from Councilman Addiego, City Attorney Rosenberg advised the City could choose to establish more districts than the five (5) seats presently comprising the Council. He also added that an at large Mayor was option. Mayor Normandy commented on the upside of district elections noting that it would bring neighborhoods together. Motion — Councilman Addiego /Second— Councilman Gupta: to approve Resolution No. 52 -2018.

Report regarding a resolution approving a consulting services agreement with Fehr & Peers of San Francisco, California for the East of 101 Transportation Plan in an amount not to exceed $150,000, authorizing the City Manager to execute the agreement, and authorizing a total budget of $150,000. (Tony Rozzi, Principal Planner) 7a. Resolution No. 53 -2018 approving a consulting services agreement with Fehr & Peers of San Francisco, California for the East of 101 Transportation Plan in an amount not to exceed $150,000, authorizing the City Manager to execute the agreement, and authorizing a budget of $150,000. Principal Planner Rozzi presented the staff report recommending that Council adopt a resolution approving a consulting services agreement with Fehr & Peers of San Francisco, California for the East of 101 Transportation Plan in an amount not to exceed $150,000, authorizing the City Manager to execute the agreement, and authorizing a budget of $150,000. Recent developments have caused concern about traffic congestion in the East of 101 area. In order to address these concerns and to better manage transportation, the City Council directed staff to solicit proposals from consultant teams to develop an East of 101 Transportation Plan. The development and implementation of the plan aims to explore a range of transportation improvements in order to address current congestion, promote better urban design and accommodate continued growth and development. As the result of a Request for Proposal ( "RFP ") Process that took place in November 2017- January 2018, staff selected Fehr & Peers to serve as the consultant to perform the work. Fehr & Peers scored highest and demonstrated it has the staffing, availability and expertise to provide the transportation planning services that will guide the City's infrastructure and policy development within the East of 101 area. Accordingly, staff recommends that Fehr & Peers undertake the East of 101 Transportation Plan based upon the firms' experience, resources, familiarity with South San Francisco and positive references from recent similar work for the City of Redwood City. Under the proposed contract, the consultant would begin work immediately and complete services by December 31, 2018. Councilman Gupta encouraged future similar studies West of 101. Mayor Normandy hoped signal light timing would be included in the work. Motion — Councilman Addiego /Second— Councilman Gupta: to approve Resolution No. 53 -2018. Unanimously approved by the following roll call vote: AYES: Councilmen Addiego and Gupta and Mayor Normandy; NAYS: None; ABSENT: Councilman Garbarino and Mayor Pro Tern Matsumoto; ABSTAIN: None. 8. Report regarding a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a consulting services agreement with EKI Environment & Water, Inc. of Burlingame, California for program management for the Water Quality Control Plant Wet Weather and Digester Improvements Project in an amount not to exceed of $1,094,700, for a total budget of $1,204,170. (Sam Bautista, Principal Engineer and Brian Schumacker, Plant Superintendent) 8a. Resolution No. 54 -2018 authorizing the City Manager to execute a consulting services agreement with EKI Environment & Water, Inc. of Burlingame, California for program management for the Water Quality Control Plant Wet Weather and REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 11, 2018 MINUTES PAGE 7 Digester Improvements Project in an amount not to exceed of $1,094,700, for a total budget of $1,204,170. Principal Engineer Bautista presented the staff report recommending that Council approve a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a consulting services agreement with EKI Environment & Water, Inc. of Burlingame, California for program management for the Water Quality Control Plant Wet Weather and Digester Improvements Project in an amount not to exceed of $1,094,700, for a total budget of $1,204,170. He explained that as the 53 million dollar Wet Weather and Digester Improvements Project moves into the bidding and construction phases, additional engineering program management support will be needed. City engineering staff are currently consumed with their ongoing projects and their day -to -day responsibilities and do not have the capacity to effectively manage this project. The program manager must be able to coordinate between the different points of view of the design engineer, construction manager, construction contractor, and plant personnel in order to reach an equitable solution of the issues that inevitably arise with projects of this magnitude. Pursuant to an RFP process that took place in February and March of 2018, EKI Environment & Water, Inc. submitted the only proposal. As EKI was the only bidder on the project, staff conducted due diligence and confirmed that other companies did not bid because they did not have the resources to dedicate to the project or did not have the expertise required to perform the work. After reviewing the proposal, City staff interviewed EKI on March 21, 2018. As EKI is familiar with the project design and has existing professional relationships with consultants working on the City's project, City staff recommends executing a consulting services agreement with EKI in an amount of $1,094,700 for program management services, which will be instrumental in the success of the project. Councilman Gupta inquired about an engineer's estimate. Principal Engineer Bautista advised an engineer's estimate did not apply because the project was not for construction. Councilman Addiego thanked EKI for its willingness to work with the City. Mr. Tarantino of EKI promised his firm would do a good job. Mayor Normandy requested that future staff reports indicate when an engineer's estimate is not required. Motion — Councilman Addiego /Second— Councilman Gupta: to approve Resolution No. 54 -2018. Unanimously approved by the following roll call vote: AYES: Councilmen Addiego and Gupta and Mayor Normandy; NAYS: None; ABSENT: Councilman Garbarino and Mayor Pro Tern Matsumoto; ABSTAIN: None. 9. Report regarding a resolution approving a Master License Agreement for small cell wireless facilities installation; approving administrative and license fees proposed pursuant to the Agreement; authorizing the City Manager to execute the Agreement; and authorizing the Finance Director to amend the Master Fee Schedule. (Sailesh Mehra, Chief Planner and Jason Rosenberg, City Attorney) 9a. Resolution No. 55 -2018 approving a Master License Agreement for small cell wireless facilities installation; approving administrative and license fees proposed REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 11, 2018 MINUTES PAGE 8 pursuant to the Agreement; authorizing the City Manager to execute the Agreement; and authorizing the Finance Director to amend the Master Fee Schedule. Chief Planner Mehra presented the staff report recommending that Council adopt a Resolution approving a Master License Agreement for small cell wireless facilities installation, approving administrative and license fees proposed pursuant to the Agreement; authorizing the City Manager to execute the Agreement; and authorizing the Finance Director to amend the Master Fee Schedule. Planner Mehra thanked the robust team of City staff that assisted with technical details throughout the process, including Marian Lee, Dave Bachhaus, Tony Barrera and Jason Rosenberg. He advised that throughout the process, staff consulted with three (3) carriers and took a lot of input. Staff drafted a Master License Agreement (MLA) in order to establish the legal relationship and framework under which a carrier or licensee may apply to obtain a revocable, non - possessory privilege to use the License Area identified in Pole Licenses. The MLA outlines design and noise requirements to protect community aesthetics, health, safety and welfare in the public right -of -way, consistent with the City's goals, while conforming to the limitations set by state law. The MLA further ensures that staff has oversight with regard to aesthetics and potential noise issues. Planner Mehra set forth the key terms and conditions of the MLA as follows: 1) The term of the MLA is ten (10) years, and renewable for subsequent five (5) -year intervals; 2) Licensees are required to obtain individual licenses for every pole where small cell facilities are proposed; 3) Individual pole licenses require the licensees to obtain all applicable and necessary regulatory approvals prior to becoming effective; 4) Each pole license will be from the effective date through the term of the MLA or the earlier termination of the MLA, whichever occurs sooner; 5) Annual License Fee per City -owned pole is $1,500; 6) The License Fee will escalate by 3 percent on each anniversary of the month after each Pole License becomes effective; and 7) the MLA also imposes additional requirements of installation guidelines and design review compliance. He further advised the City created a comprehensive application checklist to assist the applicant in submitting a thorough application, which will be in compliance with the City's ordinances and guidelines. Planner Mehra showed slides depicting the installations and then heard comments from Council. In response to a question from Councilman Gupta, City Attorney Rosenberg advised federal legislation aimed at this area might be forthcoming. In the meantime, the State's SB 649 provides that contracts that are in place would not be subject to the new regulations. City Manager Futrell added that the current plan is for the applications to come to the City Manager for review, but that this could be changed to bring review to the Council. Councilmembers believed the process was secure at City Manager review. Motion — Councilman Addiego /Second— Councilman Gupta: to approve Resolution No. 55 -2018.
