City Attorney Mattas related: at the 318195 meeting
Council appointed Manny Madriaga to the Park &
Recreation Commission following the interview
process for all candidates; the issue arose of whether
Mr. Madriaga is a qualified candidate because he
was not registered to vote when interviewed by the
Council; Municipal Code requires that the members

ation Commissioner - Continued.
be electors of the City and that requires that a per-
son be a registered voter; the application does indi-
cate that all applicants must be registered voters of
the City and the application asks if they are; Mr.
Madriaga signed it on 12/30/94, submitted the appli-
cation on 1/4/95 and it was accepted; close of appli-
cations was 1/25/95; according to the County, Mr.
Madriaga was a registered voter in Millbrae, the
prior registration was in Hillsborough and was not
registered in S.S.F. until 3/17/95; Mr. Madriaga
believes he submitted a registration form on
12/4/95, but the County has no record of that;
the City Attorney spoke to Edie in the Election
Department and County Clerk/Recorder Slocum for
the factual information stated; based on that informa-
tion it is his opinion that Mr. Madriaga was not a
qualified candidate at the time interviewed and ap-
pointed on 318/95; the only qualification was that he
be a registered voter of S.S.F.; even though he said
he submitted a registration, it was not received into
the records; based on that information, he was not a
qualified candidate at the time of the interview and
appointment, so the Council action is invalid and
that puts the Council in the position to name an
appointment from the qualified candidates for that
position.
Mayor Yee stated as of today, according to the
information received, the County shows Mr.
Madriaga legally registered as of 3/17/95.
City Attorney Mattas stated yes and previously
registered in Millbrae and prior to that
Hillsborough.
Discussion followed: the application asks if the
candidate is a registered voter of the City of S.S.F.;
the Millbrae voter registration is dated 1/4/95; that
is a change of address that is affected by the County
Recorders Office; what happens is individuals who
did not vote in the last election are put on a list that
is compared to postal address changes and, if there
is a match by name, then the County Recorder's
Office will make a change to the registration of the
individual - which they did in Mr. Madriaga's case,
because he filed a change of address to Millbrae
with the Post Office; Mr. Madriaga moved to 23
Sunset Court in early December; etc.
Mr. Alex A. Esclamado, 371 Allerton Ave., stated
he has been publisher of the Filipino News in S.S.F.

for the past 14 years and National President of an
organization of Filipino leaders whose principal
purpose is for the empowerment of the Filipino
community. He stated Filipinos are the second
largest ethnic group in this County but with few
elected or appointed people.
He wanted to invite the Council to a function on
411/95, but late this afternoon he was eonfromed
with this issue and was here speaking for Mr.
Madriaga.
He related: Mr. Madriaga's soul belongs to $.S.F.;
he was told by Mr. Madriaga that he mailed his
registration on 12/6/94 and furnished a copy for his
view; this is the third home Mr. Madriaga has
bought in S.S.F.; Council must deal with the es-
sence of the law and grant for a situation where the
form was misplaced or somehow a clerk did not
feed the name into the computer; the appointment
would be proper, because now he is a registered
voter; the City Attorney should have checked, if this
is for qualification, for it should be easy to call
voter registration and check if he was a registered
voter at that time; Council had determined his com-
petence to be appointed; the Filipino community
asked Mr. Madriaga to find a place to serve and that
is why he came back to S.S.F. to serve.
Mayor Yee stated this was never a question of abili-
ty but in fact where was Mr. Madriaga registered to
vote.
Mr. Esclamado stated that is the point, he took the
steps to mail the form, he has evidence of that and it
would be easy for the Council to reappoint Mr.
Madriaga.
Mrs. Madelon Madriaga, 23 Sunrise Court, stated
she was here to speak of her husband of 25 years.
Like all of us he is not the perfect man and wants to
make a difference and get involved, to survive as an
off-shoot of diversity. Her husband does a lot of
volunteering, he works for the Boys and Girls Club,
the Lions Club and she volunteers with the Service
League and Writers Club; etc.
She stated her husband does not inhale substances or
have other bad habits and serves the community.
She acknowledged that the Post Office could have
automatically changed their address to Millbrae even
3/22/95

ation Commissioner - Continued.
though they only stayed there five months because
the new house was being built, however, it did not
get built until December. She described the many
problems in completion of the house. She feds her
husband is a very good person and she would like to
believe the City will not punish him for the good
work he has done.
Mr. Manny Madriaga, 23 Sunrise Court, stated he
did not question any of the things in the City
Attorney's staff report and felt he had complied
100% for consideration as a Commissioner. He is a
member of a voter registration drive and they sat at
Serramonte to get people to sign the form and they
then dropped them in the mail. He had with him the
original stub, after mailing the registration, and a
copy of his registration which he retained knowing
he was going to put in an application for the Com-
mission and he knew he had to check the box
marked registered voter of S.S.F. and be one.
When he received notification there might be a
problem with his registration he went to the regis-
tration office and was surprised that it did not show
in the records for S.S.F. So, he registered again, in
the spirit of complying, and gave the registration
form to Edie showing a registration date of 3/17/95.
He then talked to Warren Slocum and asked about
his December form, faxed a copy of the completed
form to Warren and was told he immediately
inputed the registration for S.S.F. He felt he had
complied with the spirit of the law, unfortunately he
could not control what happens in the Post Office
and had requested a tracer on the number of the
registration because he knew what box he dropped it
into.
He felt the point being missed is that he is the same
person the Council voted on two weeks ago to fill
the spot and he believed he was selected for his
patience and interest in programs that deal with
youth. He is specifically involved with programs
that prevent kids from using drugs, such as Fresh
Start and is a member of the Red Ribbon Committee
sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce and other
programs dealing with drugs. He is also interested
in issues dealing with seniors and classes in eom-
puter literacy, which he was happy to see in the
latest recreation brochure and plans to get a class
started in the Boys and Girls Club; etc.

He understands that the burden of proof is on him
and is not questioning what the City Attorney has in
the staff report.
Mayor Yee questioned: did Mr. Madriaga have the
bottom portion of the 12/6/94 registration form
mailed to the County; people don't usually zerex the
registration form and keep the bottom portion as
well - why did he do this; where did he get the
registration form; he did not know he was not regis-
tered until the City Attorney contacted him.
Mr. Madriaga replied: yes, he had the original
bottom portion of the registration; he is a compul-
sive list maker and has a reasonable file system, plus
having read the requirement on the Commission
application form to be a registered voter, as well as
the registration being a part of the advertisement; he
had called and stopped into the Clerk's Office to
find out the requirements and get an application; he
was part of a voter registration drive that picked
up registration forms from Edie at the Election
Dept., sat in Serramonte with the forms before the
November election and took one that he filled out
and mailed the next day; he was surprised the Elec-
tion Dept. had registered him in Millbrae; he had
found his zerex copy of the December registration in
his files at work, two days ago; etc.
Discussion followed: Councilman Perma believed
Mr. Madriaga had dropped the 12/5/95 registration
form in the mail; the County has not located the
12/6/94 registration form; the City Attorney's opin-
ion is that at the time of the application Mr.
Madriaga was not a registered voter, and at the time
of the appointment was not a registered voter and
the appointment is not valid; the Council can make
another appointment, include Mr. Madriaga in the
list of candidates or open it up and allow anyone to
apply; Councilman Drago felt other candidates have
the right to challenge if he is appointed tonight or
we can open a new process; Mr. Madriaga felt he
had complied with the requirements; Councilwoman
Teglia disagreed and felt the Council had to go with
the rules of the application process as the other
candidates had when interviewed; . Mr. Madriaga can
apply for any open seats as they open; Mr.
Madriaga did not receive the 12/6/94 registration
slip from the County, perhaps because they moved
from Hillsborough to Millbrae and then to S.S.F.
and did have a problem with the Post Of-flee where

ADJOURNMENT:
many of their bills were late; the Madriaga family
moved to S.S.F. on 12/5/94 after buying the house
in August with the completi6n of the house being
postponed; Mr. Madriagi had title to the house on
12/1/94 when escrow dosed; Councilman Penna had
an experience a few years ago when he changed his
registration to a democrat to vote for Jaekie Speier
in the primary and went to the City Clerk's Office
to have her register him on the spot and back again
to reregister independent after the election; the City
Clerk is a Deputy Registrar of Voters and it is a
shame Mr. Madriaga did not have her register him
on 12/5/94; Councilwoman Teglia suggested an
appointment be made from the interviewed list and
consider Mr. Madriaga at the next go around; etc.
Mr. Esclamado felt the Council was going to shame
Mr. Madriaga because he could not prove that he
was a registered voter at the time he was appointed.
How best are the people of S.S.F. served if Mr.
Madriaga has complied and it is a matter of a tech-
nicality for he is the best candidate as shown by his
being appointed on 3/8/95. Are we going to punish
a guy that has, in good faith, taken the necessary
steps and nothing happens and no one can disprove
his registration; etc.
Mayor Yee read the letter into the record from
County Clerk/Recorder Slocum, dated 3/21/95,
saying that Manuel Madriaga is registered at 23
Sunset Court, however, it does not say if he was
registered on 12/6/94 or on 3/17/95; unless the
Council allowed Mr. Madriaga's name on the list to
be appointed this evening, Mr. Madriaga's name
will not appear on the voting list nor may he be
appointed; etc.
By written unanimous vote, Valerie Clement was
appointed to the Parks and Recreation Commission.

in the past; Chief Planner will now issue minor
permits; most of Genentech's Projects are very large
and are subject to capital improvement standards;
Genentech continues to meet the TSM standards -
otherwise there will be additional controls;
Genentech does meet the vehicle employment ratio
standards; the formula says if the square footage is
less than 10,000 sq. ft. there is not a fee; etc.
Discussion followed: Mayor Yee thought the
Council was dealing with a campus, a lot of small
pieces, that will not be subject to a fee and has a
problem with that; City Attorney Mattas felt that is a
critical policy decision, but the formula applies to
discretionary approvals; etc.
Mr. Jim Panic, Vice President of Engineering,
related: Genentech's objective with the overlay and
master plan was not to seek special relief from fees
because they have paid their share; they are continu-
ing to grow as a company; concerned with extending
a level of requirements that are currently in the ordi-
nance; they are not interested in paying their fair
share in any fees we feel may be unfair or a burden
to Genentech; they want to establish administration
review and accomplish a streamlining relating to
these types of projects, which is a key element to
expediting the projects; the benchmark of 10,000 sq.
ft. in new projects or new additions is more effec-
tive because they deal with office space and will not
be subject to the overpass fee; etc.
Mayor Yee stated Genentech has a campus as one
large project with parking and other requirements
treated as one project, so when you come to the
Oyster Point Formula you treat it differently. He
did not know how many projects Genentech will
have in the future, the staff report says one in the
last five years. If that is true what is the problem
with a fee for the Oyster Point Formula.
Discussion followed: Genentech is not able to pre-
dict their future projects; the Council was try-
ing to facilitate the landscaping and the parking;
Genentech feels that the over 10,000 sq. ft. build-
ings generate the vehicle trips; everyone has to pay
their fair share if they generate traffic on Oyster
Point; the City Attorney can change the language to
read the Oyster Point Formula will apply to admin-

that the Council will revise the formula when the
Interchange is finished, so, with future Genentech
projects, there may or may not be a formula; Mr.
Panic felt the changed language will impact the
building permit process; the City Attorney could
change the language to only apply to an increase in
square footage, then they would be exempt to pull-
ing a permit; Mayor Yee felt if Genentech generates
more traffic, then you must pay the fair share; City
Attorney can prepare language tonight to waive the

at the second meeting and come up with a more
clear way to make the statement; City Attorney
stated the real issue is are they adding additional
trips, then we can make the language an adminis-
trative approval, which will address Mr. Panic's
concerns; Mr. Panic felt the City Attorney was
describing the incremental impacts which will re-
quire an analysis on every building to see the trips
generated when all they were adding is a new piece
of review on whether trips are being added or not; it
could be the Chief Planner's decision on trips being
added and, if not, he could tell that to the Building
Division and a permit is not needed; City Attorney
Mattas stated some of the Genentech representatives
want to talk privately outside before the Council
takes action.

Carried by unanimous voice vote.
Mr. John Gibbs, Engineer, related: during the
expansion of the Water Quality Control Plant the
City encountered contamination and tried to find out
the source; it comes from a valve that blew up on
the Shell Oil property near the fence in 1983;
this contaminated the area through pipe trenches
and necessitated it be cleaned up; when the contam-
inated area was found a meeting was called with
Shell Oil and a plan was put together to mitigate the
problem; Shell cooperated from the beginning and
the problem was taken care of within the budget of
the Water Quality Control Plant; all costs were
shown and a claim was submitted for $360,000; they
dispute the code generation facility was delayed in
construction and rebutted a second issue and settled
for a 60-40 split, which staff feels is a good settle-
ment.
Discussion followed: this took twelve years to
collect; when they opened up the trenches they
found hydrocarbons and oil, which has a footprint;
tank farm next to WQCP is full of contaminants and
Shell Oil may have to put in some system to dam it
so it can't come up.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
City Attorney Mattas related that, after a conversa-
tion with Genentech in the Atrium, they came up
with language that is acceptable in the referenced
ordinance. He stated it made reference to Subsec-
tion A on discretionary land use approvals on page 9
of the staff report. The proposed modification
language would pick up on the second line from the
bottom "Discretionary land use approvals, including
minor use permits and use permits issued pursuant
to Chapter 20.39, and approvals pursuant to admin-
istrative review under Chapter 20.39.060(b) when
additional vehicle trips will be generated". He di-
rected attention to the first ordinance in the packet,
Chapter 20.39, Research and Redevelopment over-
lay District on page 9 of the ordinance, sub. b
Administrative Review, those are the items that,
under the proposed ordinance, would now be admin-
istrative approvals rather than the potential for dis-
cretionary approvals, and those items will be subject
to the Oyster Point Contribution Formula under this
proposed language. So, you have every item identi-
fied - the administrative review, minor use permits
and use permits, all subject to the Oyster Point For-
mula. This gets us away from that problem of
certain kinds of building permits that might not add
vehicle trips.
Mayor Yee asked if that would satisfy the Council's
intent.
City Attorney Mattas replied yes, he had talked to
the Chief Planner and they felt this would cover the
Genentech expansion which would increase traffic
out there.
