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.

Director of Finance Lee presented the staff report recommending that Council adopt a resolution
approving the Fiscal Year 2018 -19 Master Fee Schedule. Director Lee advised the recommended
changes were the result of the comprehensive fee study undertaken in summer 2017, which was
aimed at setting the cost recovery rate and establishing a cost allocation plan. Several new fees
were included in the schedule, including small cell master licensing agreements.
Councilman Addiego commented on the inclusion of CPI noting that in some instances the full CPI
consideration would be too aggressive.

5. 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

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.

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.

7. 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

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.

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.

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.
