M/S Drago/Teglia - To adopt the Resolution. RESOLUTION NO. 101-90 Carried by unanimous voice vote. Mr. Joseph Stamatis, 269 Avalon Dr., stated that at the last meeting he had attended on this project, it had been determined that the work in the creek would not be done until the downstream was brought up to par - which was sup- posed to be from 3 - 5 years. He had questioned the Developer at a Planning Commission meeting before he had started the project, and asked what the final grade would be in the creek area and they had said it would be a foot below Avalon 7/25/90 Page 3 4. Resolution - Continued. Be ~oWl Motion to waive certain fees and provide specified City facilities for the Arts and Wine Festival scheduled for 8/18-19/90. 6. Resolution authorizing recovery Drive. He had called Councilmembers Teglia and Drago out, and the final grade happened to be 8 - 10 feet above Avalon Drive. His concern was that they are building a dam downstream from him and he is in the flood zone. He stated that if that grade goes all the way across to the school property - it will flood again. He stated that it had flooded every time there was a normal rainfall, even after the piping was put in down stream which was supposed to solve the problem - and it flooded. He questioned if someone could tell him what the final grade in that creek will be and could we have it entered into the record, and could we abide by that grade. Director of Public Works Parini stated that he knew that the height where the fill has been placed for the homes was quite a bit higher than the street area -- which was the concern here. Mayor Haffey stated that Council needed to make sure that we double check the approved plans and the current grades on this project. M/S Teglia/Nicolopulos - To approve the resolution with the stipulation that the grades are checked. RESOLUTION NO. 102-90 Carried by unanimous voice vote. Councilwoman Teglia requested that staff check into the cost efficiency of spot cleaning prior to the Fair as suggested in the proposal from Mr. Georgi.

ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS M/S Teglia/Penna - To adopt the resolution. RESOLUTION NO. 104-90 Councilman Nicolopulos stated that this was one of his highest frustrations, that of dealing with sensitive issues in good faith and having sleepless nights. He stated that he wanted assurance that requests for documents from staff will be fulfilled, rather than just the "may" in the report. Mayor Haffey suggested eliminating the word "may", and say directs, however, that was only modifying the staff report - and a separate Motion should be made. Vice Mayor Drago stated that the last 3-2 no vote had brought to light a new comprehensive look at dealing with labor negotiations which he felt would be more consistent, fair, and equitable to tax- payers, as well as the employees. He stated that it would be dealing with complete comparison data, productivity, and accountability, and in realizing that in the future the Council majority con- cern will be addressed in labor negotiations. Councilman Penna stated that Council had given him assurance that they could sup- port a performance standard, which was a vital concern of his wherein he did not 7/25/90 Page 5 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS 9. Resolution - Continued. LEGISLATIVE BUSINESS 10. Motion to waive reading and ~a~ introduce the Unreinforced Masonry ordinance; Motion to direct staff to solicit proposals for an engineer to conduct an analysis of URM buildings; and Motion to refer the issue of changes to the zoning ordinance to address URM buildings to the Planning Commission. AN ORDINANCE ADDING CHAPTER 15.28 ENTITLED "UNREINFORCED MASONRY STRUCTURES" TO THE SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO MUNICIPAL CODE ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS support this MOU at the 6/27/90 meeting. He stated that the item would be brought up at a Council study session in either Sept. or Oct. to further define expec- tations in the work force to assist mana- gement to better supervise and instruct those employees they oversee to create a more challenging City work force with greater efficiency and quality of ser- vice, etc. Mayor Haffey stated that with these two provisos made, there were no modifica- tions to the MOU presented to the Council a month ago, and was the same agreement that was bargained in good faith. Carried by unanimous roll call vote. M/S Teglia/Penna - To direct staff to distribute to each employee a systematic basis, a standard of wages and benefits in this regard. Carried by unanimous voice vote. LEGISLATIVE BUSINESS Councilman Penna left the podium and did not take part in the discus-sion or vote on this item. City Clerk Battaya read the title of the ordinance in its entirety. Director of Economic & Community Development Costello stated that this ordinance was based on Council direction at the 7/11/90 meeting and would: require each URM owner to complete an engineering analysis by 2/29/92; results of the analysis would relate the con- ditions of each of the buildings, necessary improvements and their costs; determine if additional action was required; procedure to allow for collec- tive engineering proposal to do the engi- 7/25/90 Page 6 LEGISLATIVE BUSINESS 10. Motion - Continued. LEGISLATIVE BUSINESS neering proposal; and would refer the issue of zoning to the Planning Commission for recommendation. Ms. Helen Price, 350 Myrtle St., Redwood City, took objection to page 2, item 3 last sentence, "the owner would also agree to abide by the conclusions of the analysis." She felt that this last sen- tence should be stricken from the docu- ment, because it was like signing a blank check. Mr. Alan Askar, 7031/2 Linden Ave., stated that he had the same question as Mrs. Price, and felt that if an owner did not agree with the analysis the owner could possibly go off and get an engineer of their own, and do another analysis at his own expense. He appreciated the council listening to him, an commented that the staff report was what was agreed to at the last meeting. He stated that the City might have been to this level a long time ago if there had been a strong cooperative working relationship between the community and the City. He suggested there be a joint effort by the community and City to explore the rest of the issues that are still on the table regarding this matter that are beyond this particular ordinance. Councilman Nicolopulos wanted the com- munity to have the opportunity to express themselves in this process because they had shown so much interest in the subject. Vice Mayor Drago stated that tonight had shown that Council did take into account everything that was said, and he did not have a problem with a person getting a second analysis but would bare the expense for both. 7/25/90 Page 7 LEGISLATIVE BUSINESS 10.
