Mr. Paul Gibbs, 115 Pecks Lane, stated he was
second generation in this City and remembers when
Police Chief Datzman was a rookie. He requested:
a sign at the top of his street, "drive slow, children
playing", to install speed bumps, to paint in the bas-
ketball court they are using rather than using chalk
and wants one side of the curb dedicated.
Mayor Yee asked the City Manager to work with
Mr. Gibbs on the requests.
Ms. Patricia Burke, 1700 El Camino Real 21-23,
related her transit report: BART is doing an EIR on
the station in Millbrae and the public comments have
not been answered satisfactorily and been sent
to the FAA; a resident at 1520 Mission Road has a
notice, he claims, notifies him that his house will
be taken by eminent domain or moved; Ms. Burke
became angry and notified Mr. Arnold; the gentle-

man says this has driven his property values down
and scared him; she wanted to make sure the Coun-
cil was aware of this action, because she felt it was
dreadful that will soon happen to others. She felt it
would be helpful if the Council lets the people know
it cares for it will help the morale of the people
facing this.
Councilwoman Teglia confirmed that BART does
have the ability to condemn property outside of the
jurisdiction for its use. In the condemnation process
there is a fair market value process one goes
through. She knows a lot of property owners have
been anticipating BART coming in, so she was not
surprised.
Ms. Cynthia Fitzgibbon, Chair of the Park & Rec-
reation Commission, gave a statement from the
Commission: the editorial in the San Mateo Times
erroneously stated that Manny Madriaga is a mem-
ber of the Commission; Mr. Madriaga has never
served as a Park & Recreation Commissioner in this
City and has never attended any meeting.
She made the following comments as an individual:
she is outraged as an individual and a dedicated
member of the Commission by these untrue remarks
that are self serving interests for his bid for elective
office; it is not possible to be a Commissioner and a
Councilmember; Mr. Madriago does not have any
experience as a Commissioner and his commission
was rescinded, yet he blatantly used the appointment
in his interview with the San Mateo Times; she has
been in touch with the Manager Editor and Editor
Robertson who are both as concerned as she is for
Mr. Madriaga has not contacted them to say it is not
true; she believes in giving back to her community
and does Laura Selleck and other Commissioners
with their hard work; she feels it is an insult to use
this as a stepping stone to further political aspira-
tions.
Mr. Manny Madriaga stated he appreciated the
prepared comments from Ms. Fitzgibbon even
though part of it is true, it doesn't reflect the whole
truth. The truth of the matter, he was appointed to
the S.S.F. Park & Recreation Commission by the
City Council and received a letter from the City
Clerk to that effect on March 10th. Within a few

days he was sworn in legally and properly as a
Commissioner. That same day he was invited by
Tim Chinette to represent the Parks & Recreation
Commission in a certain ballfield in Orange Park,
unfortunately it was cancelled, so he did not serve
but he did show up.
Of course, on the following week were the questions
on the validity of his serving on the Commission
because of the question of whether he was a
registered voter and it was determined that he was
not and another lady was appointed the same date.
However, he worked with the Registrar of Voters,
found it was the Registrar's error in misfiling his
registration. He sent confirmation of his registration
to the City Attorney with an apology in writing from
the County Clerk to inform him that his appointment
was valid, but because of what happened he did not
attend any Commission meetings. He asked on
April 26th to be reinstated and was surprised that
the Council took the action to remove him and then
decided to start over - which was a period of a
month and a few days.
He stated it was too bad he was not able to serve for
he was very excited about working with the Recre-
ation Department and the Boys & Girls Club, was
already lining up a computer literacy program for
the people, however, that never happened.
He wanted to say for the record that he was fully
appointed by the Council, he got three votes and it
is unfortunately that the editorial from the Times
mentioned it improperly, that he was currently a
member but he did give them a brochure that said he
was appointed to the Parks & Recreation Commis-
sion. He felt it was an honor to be selected by three
members of the Council, and felt it should not be
more significant than being selected teacher of the
year or grandmother of the year.
He felt bigger issues should be addressed which is
how to address revenue and make the tax dollar
work for us.
Mayor Yee reminded Mr. Madriaga that he was not
here to campaign.
Vice Mayor Drago related: it took a great deal of

courage for Ms. Fitzgibbons to stand up because that
issue was an embarrassment; Council spent
hours here debating and he changed his mind be-
cause he felt when you have the Editor of a news-
paper trying to intimidate him it would backfire and
he withdrew his support.
Councilwoman Teglia commented: she has a couple
of Mr. Madriaga's brochures and was bothered for
the community and the Commission; Mr. Madriaga
said he served in this capacity - he did not and she
wanted the City Attorney to correct this with the
Times and indicate this is misrepresentation; she
feels the only mistake she made was to vote for Mr.
Madriaga in the first place.
Mr. Madriaga stated he wrote a response to the
editorial in the Times and told them he did not
serve, however that was over a week ago and
yesterday he faxed something to correct it again -
that he was appointed, but did not serve.
Mrs. Madeline Madriaga stated she prepared her
husband's brochure, still contends he was
elected, sworn in and not allowed to serve. She
feels it was unfair that he was penalized for an error
by the Council in a democratic process. Did it not
follow, once proven, that the reinstatement should
be done; etc.
Ms. Fitzgibbons stated she stands by what the Com-
mission said for she had two conversations with the
Times and they were as surprised and considered it
misrepresentation. She feels strongly that Mr.
Madriaga applied for a Commission knowing he was
going to run for the Council and she has been upset
since then and contacted each of the Council.
Mr. Jake Jones stated he saw the Madriaga sign on
the big pole where S.S.F. Bank is located, went
home and called the Bank asking, since when do you
put candidate's signs on the flag poles. He said Mr.
Madriaga hired someone to put it there, they called
COGS who took it down and now it is on the street
- he doesn't ask anyone and tries to promote him-
self. He has signs all over the town and believes
there is an ordinance against signs on arterials.
Mayor Yee stated if it dealt with the public right-

of-way, then Mr. Jones should call the City Manag-
er.
Discussion followed: is it on private property; it is
not private property, it is a City stop sign; reference
to an article in the San Jose Mercury that two candi-
dates mentioned on the 101 Club where two owners
received a permanent gaming license from the State;
the article mentioned the background check would
focus on the Bay 101 employees, over 600 people;
the City of San Jose received $5 million in the first
year; and because of the defeat of Measure A we
again lost a shopping center in addition to revenue
from a cardroom; the City gave each of the candi-
dates the sign ordinance and Councilman Fernekes
was bothered when an outside agency comes in and
plaster signs on private property; he wants to see
another sign ordinance and see it more restrictive;
there was also a letter in the candidate's packet from
PG&E asking signs not be put on their property; our
City workers go out and take down illegal signs and
notify the candidates; who will enforce the new sign
ordinance for some obey ordinances and others do
not; Councilwoman Teglia again asked for a consen-
sus to have the City Attorney correct the Times
editorial.

information on the CCBE charges for El Rancho
School.
Vice Mayor Drago stated he met earlier on the
CABLE TV franchise and expressed concern with
the proposal on the professional staffing during
Council meetings, however, he will know better
later.
Councilwoman Teglia related a meeting held with
the School Liaison Committee and discussed: day
care program; school has to make available the
space or dollars to cover that space for they will not
be in there next year; they will be renting portable
classrooms with a one time fee of $80,000; should

Mayor Yee opened the Public Hearing.
Chief Planner Solomon stated the Council rejected
the project design on 8/11/95 and a special commit-
tee was set up for the redesign. He asked the Coun-
cil to consider the alternate design which is closed
on all four sides; bay windows were added. He
stated the reduction to 95 % in occupancy can sur-
vive with 35 spaces and staff feels there will be
adequate landscaping with the reduction of 11%
which exceeds the 10% requirement; etc.
Mr. James Leon felt the summary was accurate and
addresses all concerns.
Councilwoman Teglia related: the Committee met
twice with the Architect and the Old Town Home-
owners Assoc. who had concerns on security and
parking; this is a better design and she hoped the
landscaping is quality.

Councilwoman Teglia commented if they are not
using the $20,000 this year - put it in next year's
budget and use the money for day care at Avalon.
She stated this needed to relocated at El Rancho
School, but now there is no room.
She stated that the elderly health care is now in Daly
City and is without transportation for our residents,
attendance is falling off and questioned if they can
use the $20,000.00.
Interim Director of Economic & Community Devel-
opment Beyer stated there are two letters from
Graystone, the first requesting direction concerning
interest in the McLellan property to change the
General Plan to a density of 8 and 12 units per gross
acre. Secondly is justification in relationship to the
tax implication for moving forward with such a
project.
He stated conversations were held about a year ago
with Greystone and the McLellans on the proposed
development, and there was concern in reviewing
the creation of the project for it was created in part
for protection of local funding throughout S.S.F.
BART representatives indicated in the present plans
there was no requirement to use local funds to get
that implemented. He related: a week or so ago he
met with BART's Chief Engineer in an attempt for
BART to guaranty that funding; BART has a fund-
ing plan, however, they cannot give assurances to
the Council until next summer; because of this the
Council did not support the project; etc.
Discussion followed: the local preferred route is
anticipate when; what the Airport's time schedule is;
the established redevelopment area was the least of
evils and that is why Council did not allow it to go
in; at that time Council was looking to generate $25
million; Councilwoman Teglia suggested going back
and undoing the redevelopment area for it was done
to underground BART, but that is so inflated why
should we want to pursue the redevelopment if we
can't achieve the end; Councilman Penna felt the
reason Council did the higher density was because
this is a corridor with BART and redevelop-
ment is appropriate; Councilwoman Teglia stated
that may be Councilman Penna's idea but not the
rest of the Council; Vice Mayor Drago had a prob-

lem with undoing the redevelopment area, because
basically it gave us an opportunity to develop the
whole area; he questioned the time restraints for the
Builder, can he wait to say May or June to find out
what BART is doing to tie down the funding and
then Council can visit the density areas; Council-
man Fernekes agreed, but felt there was the larger
study involving the capacity of the sewer plant;
Mayor Yee pointed out that is part of the EIR pro-
cess; the Council needs to make a decision on
whether it will entertain the lower density;
Councilwoman Teglia stated the redevelopment area
can be kept and the densities can be revisited; she
felt the densities give the City the ability for the
funds, so the City should look at that and maybe
cover it with a moratorium to prevent development
at a lesser density until we know what BART is
going to do; Mayor Yee pointed out that as of right
now, even without the moratorium, they cannot
develop it; the Builder is not going to build
something it cannot sell for it does not call for the
25 units per acre; etc.
Mr. Tom McDonald, Searsville Land Company,
stated he is employed by McLellan family who did
come to Council about a year ago with a preliminary
development and explained that the McLellans had
compelling needs to develop the property. They met
with 8 or 9 developers and not a one would do
density higher than 13 units an acre because the
financing was not available. He stated of the devel-
opers they did meet with, Greystone emerged as the
candidate with the track record and financial
strength.
Mr. Steve Delp, Greystone Homes, gave a litQe
background information on his company and stated
they had a first class station in the market place for
price range in affordable housing. He stated that
anything above 15 units per acre forces a builder
into something that is not accessible and drives the
price out of the person's ability to qualify for the
town house. They have seen where cities have put
density in excess of 20 and the parcels sit for long
periods of time before converting back to high den-
sity or more moderate units.
He stated that in going through the documents to
generate funds for the pro rata share of the BART

contribution he took a look at what would happen
with this and compared the town houses to apart-
ment complexes, etc.
Mr. Jeff Schroeder presented three projects he had
put together: one is in the range they might propose
or ten units single family and detached housing; he
looked at a condo 20 to the acre; and an apartment
project for the value of the project and the tax incre-
ment. He stated that the Greystone proposal has the
highest value product types acceptable with a good
sales rate. There will be a lot more cash coming in
right away vs. the other projects that will be more
limited on the market, and an apartment project, that
assumes a higher density; etc.
He stated they are here tonight because they want to
build the project and if approved it could be built in
1997, where the other projects you will not see the
revenue today or tomorrow.
Discussion followed: what does the Builder see in
total tax increment to the City; in the first year of
build out $530,000 increment; Councilman Fernekes
wants a report on the figures represented tonight for
he would like to see less density, but he has a con-
cern on whether it is going to work; Vice
Mayor Drago is inclined to support the lower densi-
ty; if the numbers are correct Councilwoman Teglia
will support the lower density; Mayor Yee stated the
numbers have to be verified and Council could look
at the other parcels with high density because some
of the other property owners may not have come
forward; that could be done but the Council must
see a proposal on the rest of the property;
Councilman Penna stated he never believed there
should be high density adjacent to R-l, so this
makes sense to have a lower density and maybe a
higher density along El Camino Real; City Manager
to come back with an economic analysis and a plan-
ning analysis at the next meeting.
Fire Chief Stark spoke of the merits of contracting
the service out: will provide comprehensive billing;
it will enhance customer service and revenue; any
one company submitted a proposal; etc.

of $42,000; the City would net $30,000 more than

Councilman Fernekes expressed concern: voting

rumors are that Measure A was paid for by the City.
Mayor Yee asked if the City ever received money
from Hollywood Park.
Finance Director Brooks stated up to the present
$9,000 had been received, but $31,000 was coming.
City Clerk Battaya stated she has not yet received a

spent so far on Measure A.
Councilwoman Teglia stated she had requested that
Hollywood Park pay the actual costs, where as the
estimate was only a ballpark figure.
Vice Mayor Drago expressed concern: about a stop

expansion of the sublease to another operation more

attendees; wants to see this renoticed and questioned
if there is a fee for a resident to appeal the decision.
City Attorney Mattas related: Council can bring it
up on its own motion to appeal; Council hears all
appeals and unlike the public Council can appeal by
motion without expressing a basis and requires a 2/3
