Councilman Borba asked Public Services Director Yee, if one has a base bid of $2,694,000 and alternatives does that mean there is one prime contractor or several for the two million. Director of Public Services Yee said the low bidder on the base bid as well as the alternatives was Arntz Contracting Co. Councilman Borba asked where the contingency money came from, was it from the General Fund. Director of Public Services Yee said no, my understanding is that there are two sources of funding, one is the bond $2,425,000... Councilman Borba said he was talking about the $225,000 not about the $162,000 contingency. Director of Public Services Yee said it could be part of the bond money. He indicated that the contingency funds were not broken down. Mayor Mirri asked what was the estimated total cost of Alternatives 1 and 2.

He also explained that contingency funds are included in the bond proceeds. A discussion followed on unallocated reserves and the sale of land and reinvestment in the Project.

(TF-O178) ' CITY MANAGER Assistant to the City Manager Wilson said this was a request for the City Clerk to attend the City Clerks Election Law Seminar which is being held in Los Angeles on November 28-30. Staff contacted the League of Calif. Cities to see if there would be a conference in the north and learned that this was to be the sole location this year. Because this seminar is so very comprehensive there would not be any repetition with those seminars being put on by Pisani Carlisle and others. Staff's recommendation is that this request be approved and asked for an exception to the rule of an 100 mile radius for seminars and conferences. Councilman Damonte expressed a desire to do something about the 100 mile rule before taking action on this exception. I.ta.yor ~tirri said whatever form the motion took would overrule the 100 mile rule as an exception. Councilman Borba felt this request to be a prime action for the City Clerk to prepare for her first election by acql~iring the knov~ledge to handle the election. !I/S Borba/Teglia - To approve this request as an exception to the 100 mile radius rule. Councilman Damonte expressed concern about always making exceptions and reiterated that it would be better to relax the restriction of 190 miles. Mayor ~]irri said if that is the opinion of Council the subject should be put on an agenda and had not~]ng to do with the request for confirmation this evening. 10/24/79 Page 4 A G E N D A A C T I 0 N T A K E ?,1 ~ CITY MANAGER 2, Confirmation - Continued. e Alternate date for a meeting to discuss the Street Sweeping Program. (TF-222) Review a draft position paper which will be delivered at a community meeting this Saturday on the Airport Joint Use Land Study. (TF-235) CITY MANAGER A discussion followed on various members of Staff in the past having to pay for their own transportation because of the 100 mile rule. Mayor Mirri called for a voice vote on the motion and second. Carried by unanimous voice vote. Consensus of Council directed Staff to put consideration of the removal of the 100 mile radius on the 11/7/79 meetinq under Items from Council. Assistant to City Manager Wilson presented three dates for Council's selection of a meeting date: Thursday, November 1, 1979; Monday, November 5, 1979: Thursday, November 8, 1979. Consensus of Council was the meeting date should be scheduled for ~',1onday, November 5, 1979 at 5:00 p.m. as a Stud.v Session. Assistant to City ?qana,qer $,~ilson said this was a preliminary draft to be reviewed by Council with enough time for review and the language could be refined for the Saturday meeting. Community Development Director Dell'Angela said that the Hearing is Saturday between B:O0 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. and there will be representatives there to present the final letter. He reviewed 28 short range proposals which include action that will take place throu.~h 1981. He stated that the representatives would discuss the proposals regarding the increased noise in South San Francisco neighborhoods that adversely affects the climates of the City. In continuing he went through the current position stated in the draft letter regarding the proposed action program of the Joint 10/24/79 Page 5 CITY MANAGER 4. Review a draft - Continued. CITY HANAGER Land Use Study: flight procedure changes, shoreline departure procedure, Runway 10 as a preferential runway between 1:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m., minimum altitude crossing over area, etc. Councilman Damonte questioned if on shoreline departure the planes used Runway 28. He said his concern was when these planes are using the shoreline departure, are they re- lieving 28 through the gap or relieving 1 from Millbrae over the Bay. Community Development Director Dell'Angela said this was still unclear as to what was going to'happen. Councilman Damonte said he had talked to some of the Land Use people and they had answered the question by a guarantee that the planes using the shoreline departure are relieving 28 through the gap and that none of these planes that take off from or back up to ~lillbrae. However, the impact is not as ~reat as it is under the gap and therefore they are relieving those people under the gap by using the shoreline departure. A discussion followed on flight patterns, percentages of flights going over the gap and the projected future increases of flights, the amount of flights flying over the City's residential districts, and the pilots using the flight patterns they want rather than what the schedule suggests. A discussion followed on noise monitors and their locations, as well as renting other monitors. Councilman Borba expressed concern about the future business growth if the Airport noise continued and flights continued over potential business land. 10/24/79 Page 6 AGENDA CITY MANAGER Cancellation of the Joint Session with Council and the Personnel Board.

He discussed studies to extend the runway, land fill, etc. Vice ~ayor Acosta questioned who would pay for the extra studies. Councilwoman Teglia said she believed the money came from grants. She continued if San Francisco Airport wants to continue to operate they are going to have to make some concessions rather than have confrontations. Mayor !li rri said that tens of thousands of jobs are provided by the airport and that reducing the noise would further the prosperity of the airport. Mayor Mirri said that Councilwoman Teglia would represent Council at the meeting on Saturday. Mayor Mirri declared a recess at 8:30 p.m. Mayor Mirri recalled the meeting to order at 8:45 p.m. with all Council present. PUBLIC SERVICES Discussion of Item #6 before Item #5. So ordered.

Request for approval to go to bid for repair of the evacuator - Continued. Councilman Borba left the podium. Dept. of Public Services needs con- firmation of Engineering Review Study, and approval to go to bid. (TF-467) PUBLIC SERVICES M/S Teglia/Borba - To approve Staff's recommendati on. Carried by unanimous voice vote. Councilman Borba left the podium at 8:48 p.m. Director of Public Services Yee said that the Tillo Co. had hired a speci- list to instruct them on the handling of the odor problem and at the same time the specialist will look at Staff's sludge problem in the City plant. The City's cost should not exceed $2,000 and for this Council's concurrence is needed and Tillo will take care of their portion of the cost which will be considerably more. M/S Teglia/Acosta - To approve Staff's recommendation. Vice Hayor Acosta questioned Tillo's consultants being of greater value than the City's. He also felt this was Tillo's problem. Director of Public Services Yee said it is Tillo's problem right now, but Tillo does not have any assets, they are operating on a shoestring, and if they walk away then it becomes our problem. The other thing is that United Air Lines and Flying Tigers will take action through the Board of Air Quality Control. If the City does not take some action to correct the problem it could be served a desist and decease order. Mayor Mirri discussed what he had read in Tillo's financial statements and was appalled at the price spent for maintenance. Mayor Mirri called for a vote on the motion and second. 10/24/79 Page 8 5.
