Ms. Pat Burke, Director of Citizens for

SamTrans and BART representatives must now get
together and work out mutually agreed to wording;
once the wording is agreed to the BART-SFO
DEIR/SDEIS will be sent to Washington for ap-
proval by the Federal Transit Administration; FTA
will probably request Samtrans and BART to devel-
op a feasible financial plan and compare Alternative
6 with a fully upgraded CalTrain; after the wording
is agreed to SamTrans will give BART $11 million
for studying the Tanforan-Millbrae segment of the
extension; on April 26th the MTC approved a re-
quest from BART to the FTA for $33 million for
the Tanforan-Millbrae segment study and there are
four points in the approval BART must abide by;
$32 million has already been spent on BART-SFO
studies with a total cost for studies of $76 million;
the $33 million from FTA must first be approved by
Congress; it is now time that we look at rail transit
regionally specific; citizens should write letters to
their Councilmembers to make them aware of con-
cerns over the BART-SFO impacts and each City
Council should adopt a resolution in support of
CalTrain and opposing BART-SFO Alternative 6
and it should be sent to SamTrans Board of Direc-
tors.
Mr. Bob Stevens, 2435 Tipperary Ave., stated he is
Vice President of the Westborough Home Owners
Improvement Assoc., and wanted to thank Council-
woman Teglia for her stand at the last meeting on
communicating with home owner associations on
planning actions. He stated the Westborough Home
Owners Improvement Assoc. has been in existence
since the 1960s, has an office with a parttime
administration secretary, an answering machine, a
telephone and puts out a news letter. Their CC&Rs
call for, prior to any changes or alternations to any
of the homes, the homeowner to receive approval
from the Architectural Committee of the Board of
Directors and it has been this way since the begin-
ning.
The Board made a mistake once when they approved
the extension of a garage when the neighbor's yard
was blocked, so since that time they instituted
this policy. The homeowner comes before the
Board, the Board sends out a letter to the neighbor
on either side and those across the street, all of
which could be impacted. Once that approval has

has been obtained or rejected then the homeowner
can do whatever he wants to do. A few years
back the City pulled the rug out from under the
Association when the City Manager changed it
where the homeowner only goes to the Building
Department to obtain a permit and the Association
only knows about it when construction begins. He
effectively defanged and declawed the Association
where they have no authority to enforce the CC&Rs
and he urged the Council to enforce their CC&Rs by
making the homeowner produce proof of the Board's
approval before a building permit is issued. He
asked that City administration sit down, have dia-
logue and come up with something to accommodate
both parties.
He stated a home had burned down to a shell, it has
been rebuilt, people are living there, money was
donated to the family, the home is different than it
had been, the CC&Rs were violated and the Board
never saw the plans.
Mayor Yee instructed the City Manager and other
staff to meet with Mr. Stevens and any
Councilmembers who want to get involved.
Councilwoman Teglia remembered from her Plan-
ning Commission and Council days the CC&Rs
require that and the City felt that was important
because a lot of people wanted to come in with
changes that affect others. She was unaware that
had changed because she was not aware that any
other home owner associations had that provision in
the CC&Rs. She knows that in other parts of the
State that is in place because they have to maintain
the plan. She did not know when staff departed
from that policy or even if Council directed the
change.
Mr. Stevens stated it originated under City Manager
Armas and it was a unilateral decision.
Councilwoman Teglia was surprised Mr. Stevens did
not come forward to the City to protest it.
Mr. Stevens stated the Board wrote a letter to City
Manager Wohlenberg in October and by July he had
not responded. They wrote him a nasty letter
and he responded and sent the Board a form letter

from the City Attorney saying they cannot enforce
the CC&Rs, for it will be illegal and giving preroga-
tives. He asked again that the City not give
approval until the homeowner shows they have fol-
lowed the procedures of the CC&Rs. He stated this
is why he is reluctant to sit down with City staff
and wanted some elected representatives, one or
two, sitting in on the whole discussion because he
has a distrust of staff.
Mayor Yee suggested Mr. Stevens start with the
new staff and Council will get in on it after the
foundation work, because these people don't know
what Mr. Stevens is talking about and need to re-
view the documents. He stated there is no problem
for one or two members of Council to meet with
Mr. Stevens and the staff.
Mr. Stevens stated at the last meeting a staff mem-
ber said they always send the Association a copy of
any requests for modifications, and yet they are
aware that is a bold faced lie.
Discussion followed: City Manager will have docu-
mentation by Monday; Manager should check with
Mr. Stevens on his schedule; Mayor directed the
Manager to get that started, have a Subcommittee
meeting with staff and Mr. Stevens afterwards;
Councilwoman Teglia did not feel a Subcommittee
meeting was necessary, but Council should revoice
their remembrance for it still has to comply with
City rules; etc.
Mr. Leu Dell'Angela, 460 Gardenside, related: the
Council has been going through a series of Town
Hall meetings on the casino proposal; the casino will
be the 4th largest in the State and the largest in
Northern California; the City presently requires a
vote of the people before another card club can be
established; there has been an honest difference of
opinion with points made for the proposal and
against it; he is concerned with the decisiveness and
the anger is not because of the differences of opinion
on the issue, but because the Developer and Holly-
wood Park has put this City in the position to bypass
the people and that makes the people angry - which
is a position he does not think the Council should
be put in; he feels long term friendships are being
strained because of the anger in the community and
AGENDA ACTION TAKEN
ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
5/10/95

ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
he respects those varied opinions; he does not think
a casino belongs here; what is clear from the meet-
ings, aside from the split of 50% for and 50%
against, is whether the Council is going to follow
the General Plan and have a ballot issue; the propo-
nents of the cardrooms are confident that their
opinion will be approved, so it is not a clear issue
that if we go to an election one side will win or
not; there are two public meetings coming and want-
ed a Councilperson to introduce a resolution that
should be on the Agenda stating we will have an
election and let the people decide; there is a lot of
confusion and unanswered questions; people are
bringing up various points for substantiation by
the developer and the shopping center and he feels
this should be looked at carefully; he does not feel
the election will delay anything and the land use
decision can proceed, and of course, if the ballot
proceeds we move ahead, if not that is the end of it;
he felt it wrong for a developer to ask this Council
to side step the people and is a disservice to the
Council; he urge the Council to give direction on
where the Council is coming from and stop the
suspicion and concern about the people being by-
passed.
City Manager Wilson stated at the 5/23/95 Council
Meeting staff will give their last presentation and
Council will provide direction on the next steps to
take and if that includes an election staff will come
back with the necessary documents.
Councilwoman Teglia related: there have been five
meetings with five hours per meeting; she does not
agree there was an even split; she has not found a
lot of angry people; people asked questions and
staff answered the questions that night or at the next
meeting; she felt the presentation was thorough;
what she saw was anger on the part of a small group
of people and there was an attempt to following
Council to each meeting and prey on fears to make
people angry; the Council is bringing every effort to
bring the facts to the community and most people
have complimented staff on that; etc.
Mr. Jake Jones, 12 El Campo, stated today he
talked to a lot of people and Council will be receiv-
ing some letters asking them to go ahead because
they have to be blind to not see the benefits. He is

not hearing anyone protesting it and complimented
staff for answering the people. He believes the
people would pass the measure, but does not feel
these people are going to sit back and wait. He
stated time is money for those people and we are
going to get the toxic waste cleaned up and the
Council can always revoke the license.
Mr. Manny Madriaga opined: what is the respon-
sibility of the members of the Council to the City; is
there no vote taken on this when the people have the
right to vote no; he believes there is some exposure
to vote and bypass and an opinion was given to him
where they cited a case; he related a case against
a tobacco company; has the Council considered the
possible legal ramifications to the Councilmembers
on a wrongful vote and the people who might be left
holding the bag; what will the City do with the
compulsive gamblers; he feels there are a lot of
unresolved issues that will polarize the community
and send a message to the young people; etc.
Vice Mayor Drago stated, on the 24th the whole
proposal will be presented, but some of these com-
ments are throwing mud in the water hoping it
stinks. He feels the gentleman slandered the Asian
community more than the faceless lower end of the
food chain and feels these were inflammatory re-
marks. He feels the people saying polarize are the
ones doing that. He is bothered that Council will
continue to hear this when only four have challenged
the revenue statistics. He can walk to the deli and
gamble, go to his Hall and gamble, so let's go after
the card players because we are willing to accept the
lotto and the bingo games; etc.
Councilman Fernekes stated the purpose of these
meetings is to gain information from the public and
what is fortunate is the total right of the public to
participate. However, there are a few who go to
each meeting saying the same comments and we
want new comments. He is trying to sift out all of
the points that have been brought before the Council
that are real and not repetitions from the same peo-
ple. It is important, we want the citizens to express
their concerns whether in favor or opposed, then the
Council has to make a decision and he plans to do it
and cite his reasons.

Fire Chief Stark stated the Fire Department has
been involved with the FEMA search and rescue
following the La Prieta earthquake and FEMA rec-
ognized the value of it. He stated there are 25
teams and 8 are in California. He stated his De-
partment has been involved since its inception and
have participated in many disasters from hurricanes,
earthquakes and the like. On April 24th three of
our Paramedic Firefighters, Terry Reist, Tom
Azzopardi and Chris Campagna, were dispatched to
Oklahoma. This was a team effort and the remain-
ing firemen put in long hours to cover the vacancies
and made it possible to commit to this.
Paramedic Firefighter Tom Azzopardi thanked the
Fire Chief and the Council for the recognition. He
stated it was a team effort for the people who came
back and covered our shift and we spent a lot of
time away from our families. When they were
dispatched to Oklahoma they were faced with inor-
dinate human suffering. He thanked the Menlo Park
Fire Department for organizing their team and con-
tinuing the training, for it is a lot of work in addi-
tion to the every day work. He thanked the Oklaho-
ma firefighters for their responses and fed off their
professional pride. He stated most importantly he
wanted to recognize the people of Oklahoma for the
kindness to balance the human suffering they wit-
nessed with the children and the countless volunteers
who washed their towels and enabled them to work
the next day.
Mayor Yee related: he and the Vice Mayor went to
the Transportation Authority meeting last Thursday;
they were about 1.3 million short on the Oyster
Point Project funding and our request for that sum
was approved and the project will be finished; there
was a problem for the Mayor of Brisbane, Mr.
Miller, because he wants to put a condition on the
request, he wants us to commit the hook ramp which
we indicated we can not do without money and their
cooperation; he indicated because Brisbane did not
cooperate for many years we let it go; he was kind
of embarrassed later on even though he didn't have
anything to do with it; the Mayor recognized that,
redrafted the request and presented it to the
Board and Mr. Miller stating we would do the hook
ramp if they give us the money and there are prob-
lems with the indian burial ground, but the Board

Councilwoman Teglia complimented Mayor Yee on
his handling of the funding. She stated that during
the business of the hook ramp Brisbane ne~ed
emergency access on the Kohl property and the State
of California was a long way away from building
the egress, but Kohl was building buildings and this
City said sure go ahead but CalTrans would not
build it. So, we said we are good neighbors and we
agreed to the temporary exit and we did not think it

Senior Planner Kalkin gave the staff report: a two
hour study session is scheduled by C/CAG for
5/11/95 to discuss the draft 1995 CMP update; the
Land Use Impact Analysis program is intended to
provide a framework to analyze the impacts of local
land use decisions on the regional CMP transporta-
tion network, which generally consists of state and
federal highways; each city is responsible for main-
taining the level of service standards for the various
roadway segments within the network within its
jurisdiction; many of the roadway sections extend
through multiple jurisdictions and if they deteriorate
the city or cities must either fix the problem to
acceptable standards or develop a deficiency plan or
be found in nonconformance with the CMP legisla-
tion and the State would withhold Prop 111 gas tax
subventions and the jurisdiction would be disquali-
fied from receiving ICETEA funds; recent legisla-
tive changes now require that if it is determined that
more than one local jurisdiction is responsible for
causing a deficient segment or intersection, all re-
sponsible jurisdictions must participate in the devel-
opment of a deficiency plan; etc.

Discussion followed: five mandated elements -
regional roadway, standards, trip reduction, land use
program and a seven year capital improvement
program; etc.
Mr. Gus Nicolopulos stated a year ago he was se-
lected at a SamTrans Committee to be a member of
a Citizens Advisory Committee, there are fifteen
different categories and he was as the businessman
in San Mateo County. They are to gather informa-
tion and have it correlate with the real facts and he
plans to pass on what he heard tonight to SamTrans
to expedite more businesses returning to S.S.F. He
stated he has a three year appointment and would
love to pass along any information from Council.
Mayor Yee asked the City Manager to speak with
Mr. Nicolopulos and help him with his information
gathering.
Discussion followed: Mayor Yee cannot attend
tomorrow's meeting at C/CAG, however, the Vice
Mayor will attend; wants the Manager to write a
letter to C/CAG identifying the City's concerns;
three years ago when Councilman Penna was Mayor
the industrial area subsidized the bus carrier routes;
SamTrans offered to take the routes over, but did
not want to service a major industrial area of the
City; SamTrans is more interested in delivering San
Mateo people to S.F. and they will not alleviate
congestion problems; Councilwoman Teglia stated
staff is involved in Tier 2 and if it is applicable to
this City can it be imposed; yes, because of the JPA;
if the City is not a member can they impose it;
cannot impose the plan but they can withhold fund-
ing; City has the right under CEQA to override,
which is a constitutional right; it is putting Prop 11,
gas tax and ICETEA funds, in jeopardy; step is
another planning exercise with additional costs;
concerns should be articulated in letter form; look
into networking with other cities; there are shuttles
to the industrial areas; Vice Mayor asked the Mayor
to choose another Councilmember to attend the June
C/CAG meeting, as well as tomorrow's meeting
because he earmot attend and there is a need for
continuity; he feels the City will be hurt most be-
cause of this City's undeveloped land; etc.

Mayor Yee recalled the me~ing to order at 9:30
p.m., all Council was present.
City Manager Wilson stated this draft gaming ordi-
nance is meant to address revenue with or without
the casino proposal. He stated the secondary pur-
pose of the ordinance will address security, howev-
er, the Council previously held a study session and
gave direction on the revenue and variable defini-
tions of the ordinance. He stated that because of
the Brown Act this public meeting and scheduled
public hearing was duly noticed due to the tax
provisions of the proposed gaming ordinance. He
stated this public hearing was for the purpose of
presenting this draft ordinance to the public and the
Council is not required to take any action.
He stated there will be subsequent meetings and a
noticed public hearing, at which time the public can
speak. He stated the security portion of the draft
ordinance has either been received by the Council or
is forthcoming. He stated the plan was to have a
study session on 6/7/95 to review the law enforce-
ment portion of the draft ordinance with the police
and on the 14th look at a comprehensive document
at one time. He stated the draft ordinance closely
resembles the Inglewood ordinance.
Mayor Yee stated he will not be able to make the
meeting on 6/7/95.
City Manager Wilson related: the definition of
gross revenues has been amended to limit the taxable
actions to those that relate specifically to gaming
activities; the maximum gross revenue taxation rate
has been identified at 1355; gross receipts are de-
fined as only the gaming not the food, beverages
and other activities; this document does not affect
the two existing cardrooms with ten or less tables;
the tax will be broken into two components, an
annual tax and a gross revenue license tax; the
annual tax will be for the City's operating expenses;
etc.
Mayor Yee invited anyone who wished to speak to
step to the dais, however, no one did.

City Manager Wilson explained the Mills Act of
1972 enables a property owner of a City designated/
local landmark to enter into an agreement with the
City to preserve, maintain and rehabilitate the home
or structure. This Act requires the County Assessor
to re-evaluate the property using the capitalization of
income method rather than the market value to
assess the property and is a reduction in property
taxes for qualified historic properties.
