Vice Mayor Nicolopulos questioned the
parameters used for the street selec-
tions.
Director of Public Works Parini stated
that the maintenance people developed a
list which was given to engineering, and
they do analyses and condition tests. He
stated that those streets carrying the
lightest traffic were deferred for
another year for maintenance.
Vice Mayor Nicolopulos felt that item No.
11 on the list was the worst street with
bumps and chuck holes that had not been
repaired in 60 years. He pointed out
various streets on the list and cited the
years they were last repaired.
Councilman Haffey asked if the reason
Item No. 11 was removed was due to
light traffic.
Director of Public Works Parini responded
in the affirmative, and stated that
additional appropriations would need to
be added if the Council chose to repair
Item No. 11.
M/S Haffey/Teglia - To adopt the
Resolution and take care of all of the
streets.

Vice Mayor Nicolopulos stated that due to
the economy he wanted to make sure that
Council looked with scrutiny at future
budgets and anticipate legislation that
will increase costs.
Councilman Haffey pointed out that this
item was mandated by Federal law.
Vice Mayor Nicolopulos stated that there
was a new law to make the work shops safe
by conforming to OSHA safety standards,
and he felt this would add to City costs.
M/S Teglia/Haffey - To adopt the
Resolution.
RESOLUTION NO. 71-91
Carried by unanimous voice vote.
ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS
City Manager Armas spoke of the proposed
operating budget for Fiscal Year 1991-92
covering City services, Enterprise Funds
and Council implemented suggestions. He
stated that the expenses would exceed the
revenues by $1.9 million. He spoke of
projected revenues having a slower growth
rate due to the economy, and stated that
the projected expenditures were forcasted
without knowing the impacts of State man-
dates. He also spoke of the reserves for
contingencies to deal with continuing
deterioration of the economy.
Councilwoman Teglia stated that she
wanted to correct the impression given in
a recent newspaper article that the City
would be dealing with deficit measures in
this fiscal year, when in reality they
would be dealing with it next year.
City Manager Armas stated that the budget
was maintaining services at current
levals with a status quo until the eco-
nomy was better, and he proceeded to
itemize the contingency reserves.
He thanked staff and the Subcommittee for

their involvement in the budget
preparation.
Councilwoman Teglia stated that the
newspapers had given the perception to the
public that the City was dipping into
reserves and things were so bad that
Council would entertain in the immediate
year an employment freeze and program
reduction. She stated that was not true
but was talking about a full year from
today to evaluate the state of the eco-
nomy and then look at economic measures,
etc.
Councilman Haffey felt that the budget
was conservative, and that all programs
would be in tack for a full year, and
then the economy would be looked at for
employment measures.
Councilman Penna stated that he would
vote against the budget because of the
$1.9 million deficit, and he did not
believe it could be justified. He felt
that the economy was slowly rebounding
but was far below the expectations of
last year, and cited the fact that pro-
perty sales were dead. He felt that the
sales and property tax projections were
too high, and was not comfortable with
tying up $9 million in reserves for
Orange Park tonight that could not be
used for anything else. He stated that
he was also concerned with the conference
center site, as well as, hiring five new
people for over $800,000 for an area that
was declining; and later Council would
see a new contract before it to approve
$6,000,000 over the original $3,000,000
cost.
He spoke at length about a 60% factor of
occupancy in hotels when the City was
underwriting the entire cost of the con-
ference center. He also spoke at length
on the compounding of the deficit if the
economy did not turn around next year.

Mayor Drago stated that these budgets
had to be separated: the CIP items could
be set aside for a few years; the
Operating Budget consisted of 85% person-
nel costs and 15% in uncontrollable
costs in running the City. He stated
that cuts could only be dealt with in
manpower, and in September the City would
bite the bullet based on the economic
situation.
Councilman Penna questioned if the
Council was willing to pass this unba-
lanced budget and wait six months and
find out we are in a deeper hole than
expected. He felt it was fairer to tell
now, what the cuts would be.
Discussion followed: that maximum expen-
ditures were considered in the MOUs and
had been built into the budget;
Councilman Haffey felt that Councilman
Penna's issues should have been brought
forward in the study session rather than
in front of TV cameras; Councilman Penna
felt he had brought up these points in
the study session; Councilwoman Teglia
pointed out that the reserves had been
set up to cover unforseen economic
situations.
Ms. Valerie Armento stated that she
resided in Avalon Park, and commended the
City Manager and staff for presenting
the Council with as sound and comprehen-
sive a budget - given the state of the
economy.
She felt that the City Clerk's Office
should be responsive to the needs of the
community in reference to performance
service measures. She stated that in her
opinion there was nothing in the
discussion dealing with preparation of
the agenda, which she felt was the pri-
mary responsibility of the City Clerk.
She proceeded to describe a recap she had
made of the attendance of the City Clerk
at the two agenda preparation staff

meetings - 48% attendance in 1990 with
her clerk attending the first meeting and
the City Clerk the second. She felt that
the Clerk's absence was not due to
illness or vacations, and thought that
the Clerk frequently opted to remain in
her office while the meetings were being
held.
She did not feel that it was appropriate
for the Clerk to rely on a contract tem-
porary employee to attend those meetings,
and suggested that a performance measure
be added - targetting personal attendance
of the City Clerk at 90% of the agenda
preparation meetings for the coming
fiscal year.
She took issue with the stated measures
of the Clerk in the 91-92 Budget, "sets
of minutes submitted to Council within
two subsequent meetings - 99% of the
time." She spoke at length of the impor-
tance of the minutes being submitted at
the next meeting, and cited various times
during the year which included a month
delay.
She cited a personal critique of the
minutes prepared by the City Clerk: that
they were not most comprehensive and
accurate; reference to the ballet,
instead of the ballot; to ethnics, where
the subject matter was ethics; to deci-
sive issues, when the discussion related
to devisive issues; words that do not
exist, "administerial" when the reference
appears to be "to ministerial actions";
numerous run-on strings of topics which
do not convey useful information to the
person reading the minutes.
She suggested a rewrite of the service
measure to "accurate minutes of Council
meetings to be submitted to Council at
the next regular Council meeting 85% of
the time."
Councilman Penna felt that for the amount

that the Subcommittee that he and Mayor
Drago sit on as Administrative
Subcommittee review those positions that
you discussed earlier; and 2) that the
suggestion made by the former City
Attorney be incorporated as a performance

RESOLUTION NO. 73-91
Carried by majority voice vote,
Councilman Penna voted no.
City Clerk Battaya pointed out that the
last speaker is a registered voter of the
City of San Mateo while she says she is a
resident of Avalon Park.
Director of Public Works Parini stated
that staff had addressed Council concerns
and had found they had understated Gas
Tax revenue, and the CIP had been
corrected.
He proceeded to respond to the voiced
concerns: 1) a new roof was not being
recommended for the Municipal Services
Building, and they recommended sealing
all obvious leaks and to reduce the con-
tingency reserve by $25,000 to do the
work; this entails some risks and they
anticipated spending $200,000 in two to
five years because the roof was fifteen
years old; if Council chose to do the
entire roof then projects such as Fire
Station No. 3, carpeting for Police and
Finance, Library renovation, and the MSB
garage could be deferred; 2) Carpet,

rewiring Finance with computer purchase,
and carpeting of Administration and
Records in the Police Dept.; 3) Fire
Station #3 needed to be rehabilitated to
get the water out of the front and reseal
window areas; better accommodations were
needed for men and women who were sharing
space; 4) need to advance the underground
utility work along Airport Blvd. earlier
than envisioned for the Oyster Point
Interchange Project.
Councilman Haffey left the podium at 8:50
p.m.
Director of Public Works stated that the
Planning Commission had reviewed the CIP
and found it in conformity with the
General Plan.
Discussion followed: concern that the
leaking roof affected many parts of the
building; that a new roof would cost
$200,000; that the roof was a flat single
layer system roof; that there was a
$500,000 allocation of reserves for all
projects; that the roof had leaked from
day one, and there had been many piece-
meal attempts to patch it; that a City
employee had suggested spending $135,000
to rearrange the roof to that of a
pitched roof and no one had listened;
that there were so many leaks that the
Police and Fire had bucket brigades;
Vice Mayor Nicolopulos felt that spending
$200,000 for the whole roof was much more
important than the $1,000,000 the City
spent for computers, etc.
The following items were suggested to be
deferred so that the $215,000 roof job
could be completed: $100,000 for Finance
and Police becomes $30,000 for carpets
and rewiring; $150,000 for Fire Station
No. 3 becomes $100,000; $60,000 for MSB
Garage becomes zero, plus $25,000 already
allocated.

Carried by unanimous voice vote.
City Manager Armas suggested staff come

Finance Director Margolis stated that the
intent of putting these funds into a spe-
cial fund was to assure their use for
restricted purposes and to allow accumu-
lation of interest to defray some of the
costs of land acquisition.
Vice Mayor Nicolopulos stated that he did
not feel that this was urgent and should
be dealt with in two years, and allow the
interest to accumulate.
Councilman Haffey stated that he and the
Vice Mayor had worked as a subcommittee
on other projects, and he felt this par-
ticular project was creative and impor-
tant to the City, yet he realized that
the concerns cited were financial.
Vice Mayor Nicolopulos stated that 43% of
440 cities were in dire straights, and
he did not want to tie up these funds.
He stated that he did not disagree on the
concept, but he was skeptical of the eco-
nomy. He stated that he was also con-
cerned with trhe concept of robbing Peter
to pay Paul by taking funds from the
Sewer Fund and then have to set up bonds
to pay for the sewer plant improvements.
City Manager Armas stated that Peter was
going to pay Paul back without interest
through this means.

Mayor Drago stated that if the funds
from the sale of Chestnut and Grand had
not been tied up these funds would not

the same thing with these funds, but it
did not mean it was to be spent.
M/S Haffey/Teglia - To adopt the
Resolution.
RESOLUTION NO. 75-91
Carried by unanimous voice vote.
Conference Center Director Carl described
the three phases in the recommended reso-
lution for adoption: bidding - $15,212;
construction administration - $126,708;
and post-construction - $7,414; also
adjusts the construction documents -
$459,256; fee for compiling and deli-
vering a set of record documents -
$26,000. She stated that the total fees
were anticipated at $710,840.
Councilwoman Teglia stated that it was
very important for the City to approve
this resolution if the City was to go
forward with the project.
Mayor Drago stated that he was disap-
pointed with Group 4 being unwilling to
compromise on the amended fee when they
had made their reputation on City pro-
jects, however, he would support the pro-
ject.
Vice Mayor Nicolopulos reiterated his
concerns related to the economy and the
City spending money on projects.
Councilman Haffey left the podium at
10:10 p.m.
He stated his two basic concerns on why
he felt the Council should reconsider
approval of the Center: 1) a market
feasability study was not done to deter-
mine the best location for the Center; 2)
and a market study was not done on how to

Councilman Penna reiterated his objec-
tions to the conference center site and
cited new ones: escalating costs; no
minutes received since April; reports
that the building had sunk 5'; Planning
Commission also had problems with
parking, design, traffic patterns; that
the Planning Commission would send the
project back if it came from a private
developer; City was setting a double
standard; could not expand on selected
site; report from hotels to Board propo-
sal to sell room space, etc.
He felt that two members of the Board are
from the hotel industry and believed
they had a direct conflict of interest.
He felt that the final responsibility if
this project failed lay with the City,
and he wanted action delayed with further
discussion.
Mr. Lou Dell'Angela requested that the
Council not take action on this item for
the following reasons: action was prema-
ture; Planning Commission had been
dealing with this since April due to
their concerns; potential for mitigation
measures could be costly; 85 parking spa-
ces to handle 1,200 people or to depend
on shuttle buses; purpose has not been
defined as to whether it is regional,
national or local; shuttle service does
not work for local purposes; Subcommittee
recommends the City go forward, yet two
members are hotel people; should turn
the risk into the hotel peoples hands and
the private sector; have staff investi-
gate running the Center as a private
enterprise; take a concentrated look at
other sites, etc.

He stated that he did not believe that

streets; 6) $50 reinspection fee similar
to engineering; 7) clarify that subdiv-
ision fees are calculated by dwelling

per lot.
Councilman Penna questioned if this was
not the same proposal from last year that
Council had turned down.
City Manager Armas stated that proposal
was in Planning, and he needed to know if
Council was interested in the recovery
cost system or continue with flat fees.
Councilman Penna thought that the City
would choose to encourage abandonment of
easements or any legal requirements to
remove encumbrances.
Vice Mayor Nicolopulos questioned why the
documentation did not show the existing
fees next to the proposed fees.
Mayor Drago questioned the charge for
Planning Commission agendas, and thought
that $50.00 for research assistance was
high, and he would vote against it.
