...2. Consideration- Continued.
A RESOLUTION APPROVING AN AGREEMENT
BETWEEN BART AND THE CITY OF SOUTH
SAN FRANCISCO
The Council may want to act on the document or
have additional time and continue the item. Part of
the necessity or reason for a special meeting is that
BART has concluded their agreement with a number
of cities and the only ones not done is S.S.F. and
Burlingame. Because of the cancellation of the next
meeting this Council will not have a regular meeting
until after BART is trying to bring this to the BART
Board, so he wanted to bring some of the provisions
and Council can schedule another special meeting,
delay action or act on it.
He related: the agreement is 33 pages and breaks
down into five sections which he described; concern
over the right-of-way; to clearly identify the alterna-
tive is an underground approach and not an aerial
alignment; the subcontractors will provide security
and fencing at the station line; these plans will be
sent to the police and the departments prior to final
approval.
Discussion followed: Vice Mayor Mullin would
prefer not acting on the document tonight, review
the document and ask specific questions; he has
concern for students during the construction and
wants the access well maintained throughout the
construction process; also important is for BART to
assign a single representative to handle the com-
plaints for a project of this size may raise concerns
with the members of the public and he wanted that
person to address concerns within eight hours;
Councilman Yee stated that was one of the important
issues raised in the study sessions, which was to
have BART pay for a coordinator or whatever that
the City will hire who will be responsible to the
City Manager, because a citizen will be calling City
Hall and that person will be our representative; City
Attorney stated no, if that was the Council direction
staff may not have negotiated that in the agreement,
but BART will have the representative - but, if the
Council wants to have this; Councilman Yee stated
stated there was a situation like this with Hetch
Hetchy that was disastrous and we need our own
representative; the City Attorney stated he would
take Council direction and consult with BART; Vice
Mayor Mullin stated he wants to read over the
agreement and did not remember if we made that
decision to appoint our own representative; he would
want BART to have an employee directly responsi-
ble to this community and we would have a City
consultant to work with their person; he wants to

Page 3
read this before taking a position and perhaps call a
special meeting; City Manager Wilson remembers
the Council direction which said the City will hire
an inspector; Councilman Yee, suggested, to keep
the construction impacts to a minimum, we could
require BART to do a phasing for we don't want the
whole City limits trenched or ripped up for a year;
Director of Public Works stated they talked about
the City having an inspector supervise construction
and the language in the agreement says the City will
be reimbursed; yes, and there will be a coordination
of the schedule with the Director of Public Works;
one of the primary important things is unless they
have prior City approval, they have to have one way
access and must be one way in both directions;
Councilman Yee told the City Attorney this meeting
was conceptual in outline for him to go back and do
modifications and he did not want to get into the
paragraphs and sections of the agreement; Council-
man Datzman was concerned about a 40 page docu-
ment delivered tonight and staff was asking for
action; his concern was when these kinds of things
occur there should not be disruption and the first
issue is timeliness, some kind of an indication other
than we notified BART, and the third, is there going
to be some kind of accountability and that rests with
City staff because we cannot hold BART account-
able; landscaping issues BART will be required to
repair things damaged and staff will go out and
take photos; impact from noise associated with the
construction and must construct noise barriers;
BART is to classify Kaiser as a special zone and
monitor noise; required to plant trees; work hours
are from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. which includes
hammering and equipment start up; spill over park-
ing off the site; staff will monitor parking spill over
into the neighborhoods; BART will bare the cost of
spill over parking; potential for residential parking
permits; those permits should not become a financial
burden on the existing residents; traffic impacts
and mitigation from street closures; what about
parking next to the San Bruno station for that will
have a major impact on the industrial parking;
BART will provide information in advance of street
closures to the School District and the City and will
put up electronic signs; there will be a hold harmless
clause to the City in the agreement; Bart, after
agreement, will install a traffic signal to connect
with the Hickey Blvd. traffic signal and the cost of
the installation will be split on a 50 - 50 share;
should the Macy's site develop with a different

type of use, then the City will look for reimburse-
ment at that location; Councilman Yee questioned if
the City was paying 50%; the EIR concluded that a
stop sign should be installed, but BART has no
legal obligation based on the EIR and City staff
thought the sign appropriate; Councilman Yee stated
if the signal is not needed, that is one thing, but if
Caltrans says it is warranted then BART should pay
for it; BART will be required to use the Council
guidelines following the safety and security stan-
dards; Councilman Yee wants staff to come forward
at different phases for Council review and wants that
in the report; the City Engineer had said they would
touch base with the Council throughout the entire
design phase; BART has an agreement with
Samtrans that obligates them to study design and
spend up to $2 million for the construction of a
bicycle path; the language includes a couple of
points, it clearly says that BART and Samtrans,
MTSMA and local agency share any other source of
funding; is that in combination with other cities
getting funds, so we could end up with no fund-
ing; there is a minimum commitment of $2 million;
the bicycle path speaks of trees, benches, landscap-
ing and lighting along the site; there should be green
spaces around a linear park; Councilman Yee stated
two years ago as Mayor his concern was, when the
project was completed what will we see - a dirt
path, and we should have landscaping for people to
enjoy and BART agreed; there was no $2 million,
we just wanted it landscaped; at the end we better
have a nice landscaped path before we accept this
without these amenities; City Attorney stated he
could include language; is the City Attorney intend-
ing to talk to BART about Council direction; Vice
Mayor Mullin stated staff needs to be more specific
on the amenities; City Manager stated ask for land-
scaping without hooks; Council has two options - to
adjourn providing it is within five days or call an-
other special meeting; Mayor Fernekes stated call a
special meeting for Tuesday, 9/2/97, at 11:45
a.m., City Attorney will finalize the draft agreement
and send it to Council Friday with the resolution;
Councilman Yee will not be here Friday and in its
present form he does not believe he can vote on the
agreement; he is leaving for Italy on 9/5/97 and will
return on 9/19/97; Mayor Fernekes will leave on
9/9/97 and be back on 9/22/97; Mayor Fernekes
stated there will be a special meeting on 9/2/97,

A RESOLUTION APPROVING A JOINDER TO
THE GROUND LEASE BETWEEN THE CITY,
THE SAN MATEO COUNTY HARBOR DISTRICT,
AND RAISER RESOURCES LLC, RELATED TO
PROPERTY AT THE OYSTER POINT MARINA
Carried by unanimous voice vote.
Counsel Mattas stated this is a request for a lease to
construct a hotel with 100 rooms and 2,000 sq. ft.
of meeting space. The approval before the District
is unique to this Board and the City Council. He
related: JPA between the City and the Harbor
District runs through the year 2026; Raiser has
proposed to construct a hotel at the marina, they are
seeking a lease beyond that year and the Council
needs to ratify the lease documents through the
joinder and first amendment to the lease; he spoke
of the ground lease and transient occupancy tax that
the hotel will produce for the General Fund and
Raiser will pay $1,000 a month until the TOT oc-
curs; he described the percentage rent based on the
gross receipts; as long as the Harbor District is the
landlord, then they are the recipient of the rental
payment; after 2026 the City steps in as landlord
and gets the rental stream; there is a need on the
part of the Developer to prove they have secured the
land; the second provision is the initial holding of
the City and Harbor District harmless and indemnify
them; the amendment clarifies the distribution of
condemnation proceeds to the various parties where
the condemning authority is neither the City nor the
Harbor District; since the City is the owner they
have been added to the lease; the City or the Harbor
District can condemn the lease similar to what it is
doing with the Conference Center; what staff has
done in negotiations with the Developer and the
Harbor District is to devise a formula where the
City and the District split the proceeds of the land
itself in a manner allowing them to continue their
obligations through the end of the lease and we get
the remaining improvements back for the hotel
development after the lease runs out; he repeated,
that at the end of the 55 year land lease the City will
continue to be the owner of the land and the im-
provements up to the end of the lease Raiser contin-
ues to own the improvements.
Discussion followed: does the 55 year period begin
with the date of construction; the lease term shall
not begin until the City has issued all discretionary
approvals; the Harbor District approved the land
lease many years ago and staff had negotiations for
the first amendment and now Raiser will continue
with the land use; the Harbor District has property
in Half Moon Bay with a hotel and the transient tax
goes to the County; if Raiser sold the property or

assigns it to someone else, what is going to take
place - are we going to approve the new ownership;
Counsel could not see that specified; the Vice
Chairman felt the City would have that authority
under our jurisdiction; Counsel asked the Board not
to take action, since it was also on the Council
agenda, not until after it was heard on the Council
agenda.
The Board recessed the meeting at 8:30 p.m.
Chairman Fernekes recalled the meeting to order at
10:43 p.m., all Boardmembers were present.
Discussion followed: what if Raiser transferred
30% and then transferred another 30% - how does
that affect the lease, why not make any change of
interest come before the Board; if you transfer more
than 50%, then any consignee has to conform to the
lease; this is a 55 year lease, suppose the Harbor
District improvements are inferior to the City's and
we take it over, then the lease post dates and we
would also sign off because we are responsible;
Counsel Mattas can add that to the ground lease if
that is what the Board wants; Boardmember Yee is
concerned the lease is for a long time and feels the
Board should have the authority to approve any
assignee to the lease; Counsel Mattas will add Item
17 to amend paragraph 18 where the landlord and
the City have to approve it, and it should say for
any 25 % assignee; Boardmember Penna recom-
mended 20% assinee; Boardmember Yee wants it to
come to Council at different levels and say the City
Manager is responsible and he only comes to Coun-
cil with a problem and he deals with it as an admin-
istrator; Vice Chairman Mullin wants Counsel to use
20% and put it on the Council's Consent Calendar.
M/S Mullin/Penna - To adopt the Resolution ap-
proving the joinder and amendment to the lease to
include a new Section 17 to identify Section 18
adding City and landlord to approve any change of
20% or more.

ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
Mr. James L. MacDonald, 18 Conrad Court, pre-
sented a petition from residents in Sterling Manor,
Winston Manor and Buri Buri to be included in the
Aircraft Noise Insulation Program. He stated it is
inconceivable that these neighborhoods were not
included when they are across the street from houses
that have been insulated. He stated they were in
contact with Senator Kopp seeking his support to
change the noise contour map and wants the Council
to support Kopp's efforts. He stated this is impor-
tant because the noise will become worse with the
Airport expansion.
Mr. Roger Lewis, 901 Gibbs, stated he is one of a
growing number of residents impacted by aircraft
noise that are not included in the 65 CNEL footprint
and want the Council to help represent them at the
9/3/97 Committee Roundtable meeting for the cur-
rent noise patterns are increasing that suggest it is
60.6 CNEL. He stated that the airplanes may be
quieter, but the number of aircraft is increasing.
They want inclusion into the program, want the
Council to enlist the support of other agencies for
inclusion in the program. He related: the need to
pass necessary legislature on aircraft noise; infor-
mation available on the internet; the lack of noise
standards on single noise events which was struck

down in the early 1970s; they are looking to a noise
engineering firm to further their efforts by seeking
data from increasing and daily noise by the growth
of the Airport; they seek Council's financial, moral
and time being committed to this.
Councilman Yee stated he sits on the Roundtable
and there is a meeting next Wednesday for a vari-
ance public hearing. He suggested that either Mr.
Lewis or someone in his group make a presentation
for it is more effective coming from them rather
than from an elected official. As he indicated to
some of his group members he is always willing to
help, but they need to deal in the most effective
manner by for they know what they are going
through from the noise because this is a public
hearing and it is not for the Board to complain. He
stated he would be happy to help to make a presen-
tation and he thought what was said tonight was
very effective.
Councilman Penna stated he previously served on
the Roundtable and heard residents from San Bruno
and Millbrae who spoke to the Roundtable. He
stated he is getting complaints on shoreline flights
from the people in Oldtown, for they are being
inundated from the shoreline because the planes are
not coming out from east of 101, but are looping
over the residential areas.
Vice Mayor Mullin stated he lives in Buri Buri and
also signed the petition.
Ms. Judy Korte, 755 Camaritas, stated the 700
block of Camaritas has been trying for 18 months to
be included in the Program and her friend Hilda
have been attending the Airport meetings for the last
year. She wrote a letter to Mr. Ellis on 8/7/97
stating Councilman Yee telephoned in response to
her letter asking him to reconsider his not running
for Council, for he is the Roundtable representative
and we do not want to lose him. When she asked
him why the Council was not more directly repre-
senting our block he said we needed a plan of ac-
tion. It seems to her the only plan of action for the
Council is the suggestion of Mr. Ellis to hire
an acoustical engineer and do an independent noise
study. She stated her neighborhood has been ex-
panded to include Sterling and Buri Buri and some

people in Westborough that are equally impacted by
aircraft noise. This group is going to explore the
hiring and ask the City: do you know of an acousti-
cal engineer the Airport would approve; would you
be willing to continue the study begun. They intend
to include Saturday and Sunday and have it run for
three 48 hour periods. It was observed that their
neighborhoods were tested, for single event noise is
not taken into affect. Station 16 has increased read-
ings which is another reason we want to be heard.
Even though with the expansion most of the added
flights will use the Airport departure that is creating
noise now.
Discussion followed: Councilman Yee asked, is the
maximum Small Claims figure $10,000 now; City
Attorney believes it is $5,000; is it still possible for
residents to sue the Airport over aircraft noise under
the nuisance abatement; Councilman Datzman has a
problem with the idea of citizens collectively or
individually going out and hiring their own acousti-
cal engineer even though he knows that in the last
six months there has been a rebirth of noise and
more in the future; he thinks we are responding to
everything in a piecemeal fashion, he suggests
Council consider an assessment and a special meet-
ing to sit down and examine this; Councilman Yee
stated the issue with the neighborhood is noise insu-
lation; the contention that most of their homes are
on the fringe of the 1983 footprint for they are not
65 CNEL, which is the rule; unless you can prove
to the Airport that they are in a 65 CNEL area you
are not going to get money; what the group is say-
ing, they believe they could be in the footprint and
prove to the Airport they are right, but they don't
have the resources so they ask Council, can you
help to get that; his suggestion, before they go too
far, we should have communication with Judy, him,
Mike and Mr. Martin to let them know what the
citizens concerns are and the direction in which this
is going to go; you need to establish some sort of
communication and find out from the Airport what
is their direction so we can have a meaningful plan;
City Manager thinks it makes a lot of sense to meet
with John Martin and he likes the idea of a study
session; the City used to use Maurice Garbel as a
noise consultant and he was helpful with the strate-
gy; Councilman Datzman wants to see a package
assessment of the issues about the neighborhoods

impacted, for he thinks Council has to go back to

Mr. Pedro Gonzales, Art Rise, announced: a new

Councilman Penna stated there will be a memorial
service for Maggie Pierson Thursday at 3:00 p.m. at
415 El Camino Real in Burlingame.
Councilman Datzman complimented the City Man-
ager, staff, the park crew and the San Mateo Times
for the improvements to the park. He stated that
after having deferred maintenance it was nice to pick
up the paper and see the bright side of City govern-
ment. The City provides 16.3 acres of park, we
have a master plan and he is pleased with what has
been accomplished.
Mayor Fernekes related: today there was a Grand
Avenue Library dedication and he complimented the
staff for putting the celebration together and Mr.
Gibbs for making it safe with completion of the

ORDINANCE NO. 1212-97
Discussion followed: on article in the Independent,
"Punish the Right People"; Police Chief has 34
programs, yet there is a need to work hand in hand
with the community; landlords are accountable and
they have to help the police solve the problem; the
police try to get landlords to clean up, remove de-
bris and replace lights.
Carried by majority roll call vote, Councilmembers
Yee and Penna voted no.
City Clerk Battaya read the title of the ordinance in
its entirety.
Fire Chief Stark related the staff report: this re-
quires bars on windows be releasable in bedrooms
and have smoke alarms; Fire Dept. is going to
educate residents on the danger of bars on bed-
rooms; the cost is $240 a window and there is a plan
to use housing rehab funds for low income families
to replace the bars.
Discussion followed: why is Sept. of 1998 the
compliance date; it allows one year to get the work
to be done, arrange financing; the general penalty
provisions shows this as a misdemeanor; the purpose
of the ordinance is to safeguard property and life,
Councilman Yee wants to financially assist residents
or get a contractor to do this and the City get reim-
bursed for this is critical; that is the intent with low
interest loans; Councilman Yee sees certain ethnic
groups who use bars to keep people out and the City

$240 is a substantial amount of money, especially
for him and agree with Councilman Yee that we
don't know if the residents need assistance
but he wants to assist them; Westborough has a fair
number of bars, plus other places in town; the Vice
Mayor is bothered by the misdemeanor and is not

funds can be used, but not 80% set aside funds and
we should not be subsidizing someone with the
