He asked if the Council planned to organize such
an educational program, and he offered his assis-

Mayor Teglia stated that the Council had been deep-
ly involved in the budget, however, if Mr. Gonzales
was patient she would love to meet with him and put
effort forward to develop something.
Mr. Gonzales suggested invited all Board and Com-
missioners to take part in the efforts by speaking on
what their particular Board does, and possibly hold-
ing meetings in the various neighborhoods.
Ms. Marinel Bruemer, 750 Third Lane, stated her
concern over a number of incidents of cars being
broken into and vandalized which have caused ex-
treme expense and burden to her neighborhood. She
spoke of many incidents since 1984 where her fami-
ly had been the victims because the area was very
dark.
She stated that she had been in touch with the Engi-
neering Dept. for a street light to be erected and had
no results. She urged the Council to assist her in
this problem because summer was here and it could
be a danger to children.
Mayor Teglia stated that she was in receipt of Ms.
Bruemer's daughter's articulate letter and had for-
warded copies to the Director of Public Works and
the Police Chief. She stated that she had asked them
to get together with the Enforcement Officer to look
at the problems, as well as the lighting.

Director of Public Works Parini gave background
information: the Parks and Public Works Corpora-
tion Yards are located in Orange Park in two sepa-
rate areas which need to be relocated due to the
park expansion; Harris and Associates was hired to
design a new Corporation Yard on a City owned
parcel on North Canal Street; direction by Council
was to design a simple no frills yard; there are
budget problems in that $3,000,000 is not enough;
$4,500,000 would be required to fund a minimum
cost yard; fingers property was looked at as an
alternate site; Council Subcommittee rejected the
alternate site; Mr. Avanessian had designed a Yard
for the City in 1985 and was contacted to scale
down his plan to the current guidelines of
$3,000,000.
He suggested alternatives: 1) Continue with Harris
and Assoc. and amend the budget to $4,500,000; 2)
Cancel the Harris and Assoc. contract and negotiate
a contract with Avanessian Assoc. to redesign the
previous plan, and deal with a budget amendment;
3) Update the cost estimate to build the plan of

Mr. Avanessian, etc. He recommended continuing
with Harris and Associates along the current guide-
lines.
Councilman Yee stated that he was not on the Coun-
cil a year ago when the decision was made to con-
struct the Yard for $3,000,000, and now the staff
was recommending to spend another $1,500,000 to
which he was opposed in these economic times.
He stated that there was a set of plans five years ago
which had been abandoned by staff or Council as
too expensive, so they want a plan with no frills that
cost $1,500,000 more. He questioned why staff did
not look into the original plans, and had instead
spent $92,000 to hire another architect and come
back and cost the City another $1,500,000. He
stated that he saw no reason to compound mistakes,
and that should be stopped.
He described in detail why the present plans were
not compatible with the area.
He suggested: stay with the $3,000,000; take the
original plan; talk to the architect and see what he
can do with it.
Mayor Teglia stated in detail that the Council did
not have the money to construct the Yard with the
original plans even though they were beautiful and a
credit to the community had decided to use the
money for the park expansion. She stated that the
Council had decided to go with plans that were
striped down and that was the direction.
She stated that they had met with the architect on
the original plan and related things to be removed
from that plan, but the cost factor was not made
known.
Councilman Yee felt that the missing step was in not
giving the original plan an honest evaluation and
spending $92,000 for a new design which was not
satisfactory, and the City had to come up with
$1,500,000 additional. He stated that they should
spend the $1,500,000 and go with the original plan.
Discussion followed: that original architect had not
been asked to think through the cost of scaling down

Mayor Teglia stated that she would chair the con-

cilman Penna had conflicts of interest and would not
take part in the vote on this item. She stated
that both Bodies would consider testimony, howev-
er, no action would be taken on the Plan tonight, the
Hearing would be closed and action would be
taken on the two resolutions.
Director of Economic & Community Development
Solomon explained the revision to the Plan in the
Council packet was an updated land use circulation
map, however, this would not be acted upon to
night.
He stated that the staff and Planning Commission
recommended that Council adopt the resolution
certifying the EIR, and adopt the resolution on
General Plan Amendment GP-93-47. He stated that
Mr. Wetmore would gave a brief slide presentation
on kinds of development if BART went at grade.
Mr. Bob Wetmore presented a slide presentation to
illustrate graphically different housing types, and
how they are represented in different densities
throughout the bay area related to BART.
Ms. Darlene Leveroni, 331 Heather Way, asked that
her letter dated 6/2/93 be made a part of the public
record which requests a parking provision be in
effect as an integral part of the Redevelopment
Project due to the parking and traffic obstacles that
Sunshine Gardens will be encountering with the
origination of BART. She requested BART have in
place a permit parking program at no or minimal
charge to the residents in this area.
Mayor Teglia stated that the letter would be incor-
porated into the record.
Mr. Lou Dell'Angela, 460 Gardenside Ave., stated
that Mr. Wetmore did people a favor tonight in
showing the slides of the massing of buildings at 33
units per acre in some cases - which is scary.
He questioned if the Council was serious about
having 50 units per acre in density because it would

Dear Mayor Teglia and Honorable Councilmembers:
We respectfully request this letter become part of the "El
Camino Corridor Redevelopment Project", as well as part of
the public record.
The undersigned are long standing members of the city of
South San Francisco, and of the "Sunshine Gardens" community
in particular.
As residents of this community, we are extremely concerned
about the BART "Bay Area Rapid Transit" project and the
potential impact it could have on the "Sunshine Gardens"
area.
The traffic and parking situation in the "Gardens" is now
manageable..o To maintain the manageability, along with the
safety and stability of the community, the Sunshine Gardens
School, Parkway, Mater Dolorosa, and E1 Camino High; we are
requesting a Parking Provision be in effect as an integral
part of the Redevelopment Project. This provision will
hopefully minimize many of the parking and traffic obstacles
that "Sunshine Gardens" will be encountering with the
origination Of BART.
As concerned citizens who will be impacted, we request BART
have in place a "Permit Parking Program" at no or minimal
charge to the residents in our area. Such a program was
effectively initiated at the Daly City Bart station with
signs stating "No Parking 7-10 AM, except vehicles with
permits". This was a solid and workable solution for the
residents within walking distance of the Daly City Bart
station. Again, we request this provision be in effect prior
to the initial building of the South San Francisco Bart
station.

cause traffic problems that would far outweigh any
benefits other than what you get out of a subway.
He stated that staff had put together Attachment A
after his questions, which he did not feel answered
his questions. He related: Item 4 did not make any
sense; Item 6 deals with the high density question he
had posed.
He questioned why there was to be high density
along El Camino with BART and a subway - he felt
it was a bad idea with BART - because a subway
would not affect the residents.
He spoke of the answers to questions he had posed:
there were plans to make McLellan's property high
density, yet there were slope problems on the land
and it would have to be graded severely otherwise
the people in Burl Buri would be affected; Item 18 -
suppose the City did not raise the $23,000,000 to
put in a subway for BART, what happens then; what,
were the obligations to high density; the EIR did not
address traffic or pedestrian safety or the school
issues, as well as, the parking in the existing
neighborhood; BART was causing the problem and
it was up to them to mitigate the environment they
will cause.
He asked the Council to reject density of 30 units to
the acre, because to double the density was irre-
sponsible. He stated that the Council had started the
project under different assumptions and they should
take a new approach.
Mr. Gene Mullin, 229 Alta Loma Dr., stated that he
was speaking for the Project even though earlier his
concerns had dealt with the revenue issue. He asked
on behalf of the Classroom Speakers Assoc. for
Council approve staff's decision by which there will
be money for capital improvement costs as a result
of the Plan for the School District. He stated that
the Agency had rejected that item and he approved.
He stated he strongly recommended, on behalf of
the teachers whose income falls below in terms of
the housing for the redevelopment area, any plan put
into effect will provide the schools the capital im-
provements for the additional number of students.
He stated that they were concerned that general

fund revenues will have to be taken and will ad-
versely impact and adversely affect the School Dis-
trict.
He stated that he was speaking in favor to insure
that the negotiations that are going to take place
guarantee adequate funding so that our general fund
is used for salaries and is not impacted to accom-
modate additional students.
He stated that he assumed there was going to be a
buffer zone for any development that takes place on
the McLellan property and the El Camino Corridor,
and assumed there was no egress into the residential
areas.
Mayor Teglia asked staff to respond to comments
made.
The Council and Agency recessed the meeting at
9:50 p.m. to allow time for staff to be able to re-
spond to comments.
Mayor Teglia recalled the meeting to order at 9:55
p.m., all Council was present.
Discussion followed: staff agreed there could be
impacts on surrounding areas and looked for BART
to address those and the EIR on the alignment; they
had addressed grading on the McLellan property,
densities, a buffer zone, and access; planned to rely
on the natural slope with 25 units per acre; there is
a gradient of density moving away from the resi-
dential areas; access will be limited solely to El
Camino and not through the adjourning neighbor-
hoods; EIR responds to traffic and pedestrian safety
and the schools; the redevelopment area was de-
signed to generate sufficient tax to make contribu-
tions for the BART subway; payments that would be
made to BART would be negotiated and would be
based on the tax generated from the Project;
terms of the agreement were yet to be negotiated
with BART; it was understood that if the City is
unable to reach an agreement they had the option to
terminate the Plan and not go forward, etc.
Mayor Teglia closed the Public Hearing.

Discussion followed: the buffer zone; that had been
an issue for the Committee; that the density be
compatible with the neighborhood and the density
would increase as the Project moves to El Camino
with larger buildings; a surplus School District
property that the City proposes to buy will be used
as a parking buffer; whether the City could scale
down the density and still make the fiscal obligations
for the undergrounding of the station; without the
number of units and density proposed overall there
was no leeway to do all the items included in the
BART and Colma Creek and a $9,000,000 contin-
gency; the density going from 20 to 50 units to the
acre; 1,200 units were permitted under the current
zoning for the build out; McLellan was currently
zoned for 8 units to the acre and 25 were proposed
on the southwestern site; if the McLellan property
was annexed, regardless of the Redevelopment Plan,
would staff maintain the 8 units per acre or look at
increased density; that was a possibility, however,
the General Plan says 8 units; proposed densities for
the Corridor; number of students the redevelopment
would produce; the over all number was 3,000 units
or 2,000 units but because of the blighting factors
it will not develop; the School District would re-
ceive the additional property tax, however, the
amount of State revenue would be removed; the
additional property tax would be the offset; action
had to be taken to certify the EIR and adopt the
General Plan Amendment; Council would take ac-
tion at he next meeting on adopting the Plan itself;
these two items could be held over with action taken
at the next meeting, and then introduce the ordi-
nance, however, the Counsel preferred action be
taken tonight; whether the Council had any stan-
dards to control the type of development; General
Plan has a specific policy to adopt such guidelines,
and staff felt there was sufficient time to develop
the guidelines; that future Councils should be the
ultimate decision makers on developments; that the
Council could be the Body to approve any project
and direct staff to amend the General Plan to that
effect; Council had acted as the Planning Commis-
sion for Shearwater; this was a redevelopment
district and projects are approved by the
Redevelopment Agency; the EIR did include some
guidelines, so there are parameters that conform
to the concerns about high density housing; the
existing zoning stays in place until there is an

there were letters from Brentwood Holding Co. and
the Price Club concurring with their request to give
more flexibility to modify a property's parking
requirements based upon specific parking needs.
He stated there were different conditions when the
use permit was approved, however, they could not
make a good case before the Planning Commission
because they said it was a Citywide application. He
urged the Council to pass an enabling ordinance to
give the planning staff the latitude and them the
opportunity to make application to use the
Pay'N'Pak property.
He stated that the City could hire a traffic consultant
and the applicant would pay the fee.
Mayor Teglia stated there were also letters from
John Benetti, Brentwood Holding Co. and Joseph
Haggarty in support of the ordinance and they
should be incorporated into the record.
Mr. Edward Kitts, Leasing Agent, stated that he
represented the owners of the "Pay'N'Pak building
and had been trying to lease the building for one
year with no less than ten offers. He stated the
problem was no facility to apply for a variance of
change in the parking requirements the City has in
effect on the property.
He stated the current offer being considered was a
national firm with sales in excess of $400,000,000 a
year that could bring revenues to the City of
$1,100,000 a year. He stated the City had to have
flexibility in order to attract major retailers so they
could make application for a change in the ordi-
nance.
Mayor Teglia closed the Public Hearing.
Councilman Yee related: he recognized that the

I have taken the opportunity to recently review the proposed South

proposed ordinance, if adopted, would allow the City Planning
Department more flexibility to modify a property's parking require-

ZONING ORDINANCE TEXT AMENDMENT - PARKING
Dear Mayor/City Council:
The Price Club supports the proposed changes to $SFMC
Section 20.84.070(a) to allow flexibility in the parking
requirements. During the last year the Price Club has
commissioned numerous parking and traffic studies to
determine what adequate parking is for a Price Club. The
results of the studies indicate the parking requirements
vary significantly based on location and sales, but in al!
cases the parking demand was lower than what was provided
and in most cases lower than IT£/code requirements. That's

permit; a consultant was needed to make this plan
work or not work.
Mayor Teglia remembered giving the Planning
Commission some latitude in cases where the use
requires more parking, however, she wanted some-
one to monitor the situation because there were
always major problems with the impacts.
She related: the owner of all the property had an
applicant for retail use on a portion of the property;
the theater and the retail use were on separate par-
cels with a real need for parking; a reciprocal park-
ing agreement was worked out; the lot on El
Camino which the City told them to look at to sup-
port the use on that property had not been consid-
ered; with this application, if the City will consider
it, the owner is willing to dedicate that to parking;
she had not understood why the retailer at that time
wanted to close the doors at 7:00 p.m.; she did not
understand this thing with the Price Club because
they had come in with a deal to acquire land for
parking and had said they could demonstrate an
increase at the cash register for each parking place,
and whey they would now want flexibility towards
that - she did not know; she was concerned that this
not become a mechanism to eliminate what the City
needed in parking, etc.
Councilman Drago stated this ordinance only provid-
ed the mechanism to pursue their case in parking
requirements and it still falls back on an enabling
ordinance to put a condition for it to come back to
Council, and it still would have to be accepted on
some sort of documentation first at the planning
level.
He stated Item No. 6 tonight was an enabling ordi-
nance allowing staff to go out and come back with
certain conditions on fees and the like, and he had
said he may want to vote against whatever they
come up with at the time. He stated this does the
same thing - when the project comes before the
Commission or Council the opportunity is still there
to deny it.
He stated that in looking at the report, out of the
eight cities surveyed, six offer some type of flexibil-
ity and one was contemplating such an ordinance -

which is seven out of eight. He stated they were in
competition with other cities, and maybe with anoth-
er piece of property. It may not solve the entire
problem, but reduce what we have now by being
willing to dedicate the acreage along El Camino.
He stated that if this mechanism was not in place the

vidual merits, etc.

City Clerk Battaya stated protest letters were re-
ceived from Rosalie Durant, dated 5121193, and
Edwin L. Cassaday, Jr., dated 5/18/93.
Mayor Teglia stated she had a letter from Donna
Flanagan expressing concerns of Braewood, and
proceeded to open the Public Hearing.
Dir. of Recreation & Community Services Nagel
stated this was the first of two required Public Hear-
ings to propose 1993-94 assessments, as well as the
next two items that were assessment districts. He
stated this was an assessment district established
back in July 1991 to address the much needed capi-
tal improvements and maintenance concerns on an
annual basis.
He related: assessment put in place the first year
was $58.00 per unit per parcel; current year was
reduced to $39.00 largely due to a lower mainte-
nance cost than anticipated when the district was
established; delays in moving on the project; had
hired a consultant for the design and worked closely
with the public and Council Subcommittee; had
written surveys; thereafter the renovations were
prioritized and included concrete walkways, some
stairs and railing, addressed drainage and erosion
concerns, hazardous irrigation was to be replaced
and renovated, turf and planting renovation, trees,
lighting would also be replaced.

He stated the residents had wanted additional work
done and wanted to have the assessment modestly
raised to remove the play equipment and cover the
area with plant material. He continued, three play
areas will be renovated, as well as improvements to
the park on Carter Drive. He stated the changes
would increase the assessment by $15.00 per parcel
per year.
He stated that noticing had been done on the Public
Hearing to all property owners and, in two weeks,
staff would ask the Council to take final action on
the engineer's report for $54.00 per unit per parcel
being proposed for 1993-94.
He stated the City would issue bonds for these three
projects - this one, West Park 3 and Willow Gar-
dens, not to exceed $905,000. He stated the num-
bers in the engineer's report had changed and will
be corrected in the report and the amount of bonds
for West Park 1 and 2 would be $262,765, West
Park 3 would be $333,745. He stated this would
not change the assessments nor the project.
He stated some folks were part of litigation with
residual dollars left over wherein the Judge said
those dollars should be a direct benefit for those
properties included in the litigation. So, of the 747
units in West Park 1 and 2, 140 property owners
will not be paying an assessment this year, as well
as throughout the eight year assessment period.
Mayor Teglia asked that the ten questions in Ms.
Flanagan's letter be responded to by staff in writing
and that anyone else with questions should contact
Mr. Nagel.
Ms. Flanagan stated she had been a part of this
process and had filed a letter of protest in 1993 and
in 1992, as well as having responded to the written
survey. She stated she wanted her list of concerns
answered for the Braewood Homeowners Assn., of
which she was President. She stated the Assn.
represented 162 units and felt this was an end run
around to Proposition 13 and felt they would not get
an increase in services because they have seen noth-
ing but deterioration and neglect in West Park 1 and
2 with a steady decline in service.

She stated that when Cagwin & Dorward were there
they saw some hope as they came to their annual
meeting, however, Environmental Care was not
doing the job. She continued relating her concerns:
at present there were some very serious safety and
liability issues; the common areas do not have any
snail bait and the snails come over to their property
which does have snail bait; their Assn. dues are
always being raised to take care of the common
areas neglected by the City in their plantings and
ground coverings over the past 17 years; a hazard to
children was a row of tree stumps as they scrambled
over 10-12' brick walls; ground cover no longer
exists in many areas; children fall on unusable
stairs; liability and safety hazards should have been
addressed all along; one whole wall had collapsed in
Carter Park; the area was a total disgrace and they
did not feel that a $54.00 assessment is the way to
go and the budget of existing monies should be used
fairly to help Westborough; in hearing tonight of
money spent on El Camino Corridor and the Corpo-
ration Yard, she wondered if there wasn't money
that could have been spent on West Park 1 and 2
common greens.
She stated the Manor Assn. Manager was here
tonight but had to leave due to the hour, and won-
dered if areas east of them had to pay this $54.00.
Mayor Teglia closed the Public Hearing and told
Ms. Flanagan she would receive a letter responding
to her concerns.
Discussion followed: Ms. Flanagan had attended
meetings on this subject; common greens were the
responsibility of the homeowners; assessment funds
were used to take care of the common greens, be-
cause when the area was developed an assessment
district was established to take care of the common
greens; when Proposition 13 came in the assessment
tax was buried in the property tax bill; there were
not enough funds over the years to maintain the
greens and the area deteriorated; private mainte-
nance crews are hired to maintain the areas; City
could not increase the assessment to maintain the
greens; City had to wait ten years until a lot of
Court cases were settled, so it was not neglected as
a point of malice but due to a lack of funds; a major
increase would be seen in maintenance; City was

concerned about major liability up there and now
they had a vehicle; Ms. Flanagan wanted to see in
writing that the common greens were the responsi-
bility of the property owners because they had docu-
mentation dating back many years on promises made
by the City, and she had written letters to Quentin
Kopp and the City on her concerns, etc.
City Clerk Battaya stated that she had received a
protest letter from Wanda Houser dated 5/27/93.
Mayor Teglia opened the Public Hearing.
Dir. of Recreation and Community Services Nagel
related: the assessment would be $60.00 per parcel;
public hearings had been held for the residents
input; residents had agreed to a higher assessment
of $15.00 per year; a description of the improve-
ments; some residents were party to litigation and
would pay nothing towards the eight year assessment
unless maintenance costs rose over the eight year
period, in which case there would be public hear-
ings.
Ms. Millie Burg, 3845 Radburn Dr., stated she was
President of Westborough Homeowners Group//6,
who had the same concerns as West Park 1 & 2.
She stated that she had been a resident for 19 years
and no improvements had been made to the area -
even though she had attended all meetings on the
subject.
She stated this assessment was 345 over last year's
assessment, which was an extremely high rate of
increase at this point considering the economic facet
that exists here that people are struggling through.
She stated there was less opposition last year be-
cause there was a reduction of $I01.00 to $45.00
annually.
She stated in her 19 years of residency there has not
been anything beneficial to the common greens,
other than grass and leaf cuttings.
She stated since it was an extensive liability she felt
the common greens should be deeded back. She
said the people do maintain their own backyards. If
deeded back the property would become the individ-
ual homeowner's responsibility and not be open to

free public use.
She also felt that this was circumventing Proposition
13. These funds are for improvements that have not
been made, yet have been collected for the past two
years. It would behoove them to set a petition for-
ward to initiate litigation because this represented
monies to the City's General Fund.
Mayor Teglia stated that was not true. They were
not in violation because the funds were used only for
that area.
Ms. Burg stated that she wanted each Homeowners
Assn. to receive an accounting of all monies spent
there since the assessment was made in 1991 and let
her know whether their common greens could be
closed to the public and taken over by the Manor
Assn.
Mayor Teglia stated that the issue of being closed to
the public had been raised at meetings and was
rejected by the property owners attending the meet-
ings. She was not cognizant of whether that could
be done.
Discussion followed: what the improvements ad-
dressed; Ms. Burg complimented Councilman Yee
for not wanting to waste money on studies; had been
delays, but finally ready to go to bid, etc.
Mayor Teglia closed the Public Hearing.
Councilman Drago suggested sending a very concise
letter to Mr. Cassaday and every Homeowners Assn.
with a complete history of the assessment district,
with a copy of a tax bill for 1975.

ITEMS FROM COUNCIL
Councilman Drago stated that this was put on the
agenda at the request of a resident at the last meet-
ing to discuss this legislation that pertains to our
City. He stated that both sides of the issue tonight
were present to debate the issues of traffic and
noise.
Ms. Denise LaPointe, Senator Kopp's office, stated
SB245 deals with the Congestion Management Plan,
which is on behalf of C/CAG, and would be covered
by Belmont Councilman Gary Orton at the request
of Senator Kopp. She stated Millbrae Councilman
Frank Cannizaro would cover SB629.
Belmont Councilman Orton stated Council was
aware that C/CAG was sponsoring SB245 and,
during negotiations with the airport, it was noticed
that SB226 had no sanctions in it. He stated that
C/CAG had met and suggested to the Congestion
Management Air Quality Committee of C/CAG to
discuss certain language for Senator Kopp's Bill
245. After much discussion arrived at the conclu-
sion that SF Airport become part of the congestion
management process in San Mateo County, which
they had been left out of. He stated he had testified
twice before the Senate Transportation Committee
and Senate Appropriations Committee and could
share some of the concerns of the Senators. He
related: one had asked if LA International Airport
wanted to expand would they be subject to the Con-
gestion Management Agency of Los Angeles Coun-
ty; the answer was yes; would SF International
Airport be subject to the Congestion Management
Agency in San Mateo County; the answer was no,
they would not without legislation; this is intended
to rectify that situation and not only make them a
part of the process but have sanctions placed against
them comparable to the sanctions placed against
cities if there is a deficiency which they failed to
mitigate; they felt it was fair and the MOU did not
cover this.
He stated that in negotiating the MOU a number of
cities said they did not want to be limited in matters
of concern such as this and the Airport's Commis-

sion had some clarification and one was that the
cities would be free to redress from the legislature -
which they believed they were doing with this.
He stated the Bill had passed through the Senate and
was now in the Assembly and, after review, it was
hoped Assemblywoman Speier would carry the Bill
in the Assembly.
He stated that C/CAG, at it's meeting, had unani-
mously supported the provisions of SB245 as writ-
ten. He stated there had been opposition from
organized labor when it was first written and they
took the concerns and modified the language and
requested that not only Senator Kopp but the entire
delegation of representatives from San Mateo
County carry that legislation.
Millbrae Councilman Canizzaro stated they had been
working for several years with Senator Kopp to try
to resolve the noise and insulation problems relative
to the existing noise generated by the Airport.
He stated that the recent experience with the Airport
had been that in order for them to discharge any
funds to help mitigate noise due to existing opera-
tions it usually meant that they had to bargain away
some very basic rights. He continued, the City felt
they should not bargain away and alternatively felt
that the Airport should step up to the line and help
resolve this noise insulation program.
He stated the program had started back in 1983 and
in the ten years that funding has been available from
the Federal Government there has only been about
500 homes in the area insulated out of a global
amount of about 10,000+ homes. He stated there
was concern that with the current pace of insulation
there will be a very long time before funding is
available for all the homes.
He stated in the most recent episode the Airport
offered to make funding available to those cities that
have chosen to agree to their master expansion. He
stated that Millbrae felt the expansion plan is really
a separate issue from current noise problems and
any funding that the airport would give under their
proposal would require a City to approve their
master plan regardless of the impacts. He stated

that they felt there was a conflict between two local
agencies, the City and County of San Francisco,
through their airport, and the City of Millbrae and
other cities, and felt it was an appropriate subject for
a resolution of the differences at the State level. He
continued, as a result Senator Kopp agreed to that
and sponsored this legislation that would make it
mandatory for the Airport to spend a minimum of
$4,000,000 a year and more if necessary to com-
plete the insulation in the whole area based upon the
present map delineating the 65 CNEL area and have
that completed by the year 2000.
He stated that was a very different provision than
was in the MOU which provides for those cities that
have agreed to the expansion plan. The airport will
provide up to $120,000,000 in funds from whatever
source - not necessarily out of their money and there
is no minimum.
He stated this Bill guarantees the cities funding
infusion from the Airport and assures that we could
address all the noise insulation problems in the area
by the year 2000.
Mr. Lou Turpin, SF International Airport Director,
stated that about the time he become Airport Direc-
tor in 1981 the City of San Francisco went to Sacra-
mento and got a Bill passed that says you can't sue
the airport for noise. He continued, the County of
San Mateo became extremely upset and the people
were very concerned that the City of San Francisco
would unilaterally go for it and seek legislation that
would impact the County.
He stated the legislation had a two year time frame
and, at the end of that time frame, there was a
backlash from that action by the City and County of
San Francisco and a number of lawsuits were filed
by individual homeowners.
He related history on the Bill: in 1990 received a
letter from Senator Kopp asking him to meet with
representatives of the Kohn Co., who desired to
build housing east of 101; wrote back he would be
happy to do that but there was a problem; the Air-
port had a three pronged strategy dealing with noise
- to have a most aggressive regulation for

dealing with noise by having the quietest airplanes,
not permitting houses under a flight path (which was
litigated in the City in 1985) and providing insula-
tion for homes; 1,685 homes scheduled to be insu-
lated; $25,000 allocated and only $5,000,000 has
been spent; rate of spending by communities is a
function of individual programs and their ability to
insulate homes; next came AB2405 and this Council
was advised in 1990 that that Bill was drafted on
behalf of the developer and did not survive the
Assembly; the following year SB2~6 was formulated
as a noise bill and did not have sufficient support in
the assembly to pass out of the Assembly and turned
into a two year bill; it was gutted in 1991 and devel-
oped into two pieces - a congestion management
piece and a noise piece that was vetoed by the Gov-
ernor last November; this year the bill was split into
two bills, essentially the same as the one vetoed by
the Governor.
He related the following on SB629: it was unneces-
sary and redundant to the local efforts that have
been accomplished; it singles out SFIA as the only
airport in the State that must provide the type of
funding that is called for in the Bill - as a State
mandated requirement; SFIA has approximately
4,500 homes in the noise impacted areas in the
State; assuming that by the year 2000, with the
noisy airplanes phased out, we will have fewer than
1,000 homes in the noise impacted areas in the
State; Los Angeles Airport will have in the year
2000 51,000 noise impacted homes according to
State definition; so, why is San Francisco so unique;
why doesn't this Bill apply to Los Angeles or other
airports - because a Bill of this nature would not
survive in the State Capital; the Bill as constructed
will not do what they are telling you it will do; there
are not 10,000 homes in the 65 CNEL - there are
fewer than 5,000 homes; the State cannot mandate
by law insulation outside the current 65CNEL noise
impact boundary, etc.
He explained how funds were allocated: MOU with
individual contract arrangement with the Airport;
City & County of San Francisco guarantees that they
will insulate every home currently impacted or any
home impacted from 1983 to the current date; this
legislation will never affect the MOU; the State has
indicated that they cannot mandate SFIA to

insulate outside the current 65 CNEL noise impact
boundaries; funds are available from the Federal
Government to a larger area than the 1983 contour
map because the Airport purposely has not changed
their map to assure that they could allow for the
maximum amount of Federal money to float a local
community; as the result of a lawsuit in St. Louis,
the FAA told him they may require as of September
30th that all airports in the country file a new map,
which would seriously raise questions about the
ability to fund Federally outside current 65 CNEL
impact boundaries.
He stated we do have a MOU and Mr. Canizzaro
was commenting on the situation in Millbrae, and
that MOU has been offered to every city on the
Peninsula. He stated the MOU was an agreement to
work with the Airport to solve noise and traffic
problems and in exchange for that we are prepared
to make certain financial commitments. He stated
that MOU had been offered to Millbrae and they had
elected not to sign it and have applied directly for ~
Federal grants and have received a considerable
amount in Federal grants at this time.
He stated the Airport has always had two plans, one
being the MOU program - which is a full guaranty
of funding, and the other is the Federal program -
which is an 80-20% program. He stated the 20%
has always been a discretionary amount based on
SFIA's budgetary constraints. He stated that an
allegation has been made from Millbrae, that that is
not discretionary. He continued, Millbrae is saying
the Airport Commission is obligated by law to pay
that 20% and the Commission disputes that conten-
tion and it is now involved in a legal dispute and the
Airport Commission has placed a moratorium on
contributions until the legal matter is cleared.
He related the following with respect to SB245: the
Bill violates Federal law; if the Bill is passed it
would force them to chose to follow State law and
forego Federal grants in the future or to follow
Federal law and violate State law; it requires the
Airport spend money off Airport, which they have
said repeatedly they are not permitted to do; that
was why, based on the MOU, they had put
$120,000,000 in the MOU for transportation pro-
jects - on Airport unless the Airport is permitted

legally to spend money off Airport; the concept was
that if the Airport spends $120,000 on Airport, for
example, for a BART inter-module station at the
Airport, that would free up that money that might be
spend by Samtrans, Caltrans or other agencies and
the money could be made available for local com-
munities; SB245 holds SFIA to a higher standard
than any community on the Peninsula - it makes
SFIA the "golden goose" and destroys any incentive
at all for local communities in this County to ad-
dress traffic problems, etc.
He continued, SFIA is less than 12 % of traffic
southbound on 101 on a 250,000 vehicle per day
average and less than 13% of traffic northbound on
101; will stand up and proportionally take responsi-
bility of traffic impacts they create, etc.
He stated they had negotiated an MOU - it was not
perfect, but it contains $250,000,000 that is legflly
binding on the Airport Commission.
Mr. Lou Dell'Angela, 460 Gardenside, SSF, stated
he was President of Coalition of Airport Neighbors
and very, very disappointed that this important issue
was being heard at midnight when people had al-
ready left due to the late hour. He stated that a
month ago he asked Council to support these two
bills, which was neither complicated or even de-
manding and protected the people in this County.
He stated that it protects the cities in terms of traffic
and guarantees that everyone who is impacted by
airport noise is going to have their home insulated in
a timely manner.
He stated that Mr. Turpen paints a good picture, yet
the agreement says up to $120,000,000 and does not
say $120,000,000, which he felt was an illusion and
could be argued by attorneys.
He stated Senator Kopp's bill stipulates a guaranty
for the people that money shall be made available to
insulate all homes by the year 2000 and, if the FAA
cannot come up with these funds, the Airport shall.
He stated that with the MOU there was no guaran-
tee, but with the Bills you do and he did not under-
stand why the Airport is so adamant about making a
commitment to insulate all homes in this City by the

year 2000. He stated the track record up to now
was 400 homes insulated or 600 homes out of 5,000
to be done after 10 years in the program, so they
needed the Bills to protect this City.
He stated SB245 deals with a congestion, manage-
ment plan and for a major industry, the Airport, to
expand and not expect to meet our requirements to
alleviate and mitigate traffic congestion was
unreasonable, etc.
He urged the Council to support the two Bills be-
cause he felt the MOU has too many holes in it and
escape clauses.
Ms. Marjorie Carlson stated she was a 38 year
resident of So. San Francisco and concurred with
Mr. Dell'Angela's comments and felt this item
should have been heard at the beginning of the
Agenda rather than sit for 4-1/2 hours. She stated
the planes go out over her home and at 2:00 p.m.
were bombarded with noise.
Mayor Teglia stated this City had been very aggres-
sive over the last ten years to get funds. However,
they cannot control all factors with the Airport and
the FAA. She apologized for the long delay in
hearing the item.
Ms. LaPointe stated Senator Kopp would like Coun-
cil to pass a resolution in support of both bills be-
cause he had been carrying this for five years and
felt it serves his constituency.
Ms. Deirdre Coolagh, West Winston Manor, stated
she called for a timetable for her home to be insulat-
ed and had been told when they got to her house
they would have run out of money.
She stated because her 18-month old covers her
ears, her four-year old can read the numbers on
overhead planes and she cannot talk on the telephone
because of overhead planes they insulated their home
at their own expense, with the hope of reimburse-
ment in the future, by the City.
Discussion followed: Bills do not address reim-
bursement; 10,500 homes were affected by the map;
