PRESENTATIONS
State Senator Kopp gave his yearly legislative up-
date: the money issue of restoring property taxes
diverted from cities and counties from 1992-1996
and given to the School Districts; he thinks that
outcome will be determined by another issue which
is tax cuts; the legislature on the last night of the
session, 9/12/97 legislation was passed that provided
a state income reduction that amounts to $690 mil-
lion for middle income families; that will not be an
issue in 1998, but it will be because it is an initial
issue and will trickle down in political ways because
in 1998 there is a statewide election with 80 mem-
bers of the Senate and he cannot forecast the out-
come, but as long as the economics flourish there
will be money available and the first call on that is
restoration to cities, and secondly to counties for
they have obtained restoration in the form of the
State assuming financing 60% for the Superior
Court budget; it is not in the provision, but educa-
tion will be the major issue and cities and counties
and he thinks the City can expect a bond issue for
schools on the June or November ballot and a mini-
mum of $26 million which is the highest amount
they have ever submitted to the voters as

general obligation bonds; another issue is air quality
and that will be a major issue in terms of legislation
and in terms of fact, that the bay area is the only
one that does not violate Federal law and that means
other parts of the State are jealous and some of his
colleagues are introducing legislation to punish the
bay area; one bill is to impose the requirement of
smog test, but that only applies tbr Los Angeles
where the air quality violates State law and there
will be other areas to punish; the Sacramento Valley
is a Federal mitigation site; the other city issue,
which is a problem in San Marco, is an over
concentration of care and treatment homes in single
family residential neighborhoods, which the State
allows in R-1 areas, and he introduced legislation
that says they must be 500' apart; the bill passed,
but the Governor vetoed it; he was successful with a
Senate resolution that establishes a task force of city
and county representatives and then some of the
non-profit agencies that are operating group homes
of one kind or another with 25 people in it; they
have met but there is not a meeting of the minds;
the legislature will reconvene on 1/5/98 and Council
should forward their views to him for needed legis-
lation; he spoke of funds from toll bridge fees being
used for transportation; for the first time we have
control on the toll on the State owned toll bridges,
all except Dunbarton and Antioch, and that stopped
the control of Caltrans over the money; he spoke of
MTC control over gas tax and truck weight fees and
stated they will make the decisions on all regional
projects; he wished everyone a merry Christmas and
happy Hanukkah.
Councilwoman Matsumoto asked if the Senator
could provide a bill process, whereby legislation was
forwarded to the Council.
Senator Kopp stated it was handled on a case by
case basis, the League of Cities puts out a bulletin
and he did not see a need for duplication.
AGENDA REVIEW
City Manager Wilson stated the Redevelopment
items 6 and 7 will be considered with Council item
12. He stated Items 5 and 8, on the Consent Calen-
dar, were received late and if there is a problem
they can be continued.

ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
Mr. Bob Kane, Atty. related: he is representing
certain property owners and businesses on Airport
Blvd. who were concerned that they did not receive
notice on the Airport landscape project; there were
meetings with Councilman Penna and the Director of
Economic & Community Development Van Duyn,
and he had conveyed his clients concerns in a letter
today to the Mayor; they feel that the project has
environmental impacts; he did a survey of which
owners have received notices and have not found
that it occurred; he learned from the City that the
project was categorically exempt from CEQA; meet-
ings went well and were responsive to the business-
men and property owners and we suggested that the
Mayor and Councilman Penna meet with them and
give some assurance and we wanted to work on that
and talk to the Director of Economic & Community
Development on their concerns because the work
does not correspond to the plans; the concerns are
safety, visibility and parking; there were a number
of suggestions that they want to solidify and want
the Mayor to be authorized to meet with his group
to go forward in a positive way after getting a re-
sponse on his correspondence.
Mr. Rich Ochsenhirt stated he was unable to attend
the 12/1/97 swearing in, and wanted to welcome our
newly elected Councilmembers Karyl Matsumoto,
Jim Datzman, John Penna and our new Mayor Eu-
gene Mullin. He is looking forward to working
with the Council for his tenure as a Park & Recre-
ation Commissioner has been exciting and reward-
ing.
Mr. Victor Feudale congratulated Karyl Matsumoto,
and stated the last time we had a woman on the
Council it was Roberta Teglia.
He stated he was President of the Historical Society
and spoke of the restoration they were doing on
donated Plymouth Schwartz House Museum. He
recited the history of the home: this house sat on the
corner of Grand and Spruce as a first house built in
1905; the house was moved across the street to its
present location; Mrs. Schwartz husband's paintings
are throughout the house and Mrs. Schwartz donated
the house to the Historical Society and all of the
members have donated their services for restoration
for the last two years and have an outstanding gift

shop; the lower floor has bound newspaper copies of
the Enterprise up through 1990, and the retired
firefighters, led by former Mayor Drago, has put in
a fire museum; the Society is going to restore the
upper floor which takes sums of money to do any
restoration and they need funds from foundations
and individuals or from any possible source; we do
have docents for the house and the fire museum,
which is open every Wednesday and a few Saturdays
from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.; he encouraged peo-
ple to buy from the gift shop for this is the only
home museum in the City and this is how we pre-
serve our heritage tbr future generations.
COMMUNITY FORUM
Vice Mayor Datzman related a meeting he attended
last week in San Francisco on water transportation
issues and ferry boats.
Senator Kopp stated he is Chairman of the meeting
Vice Mayor Datzman attended on water transit
services and asked people in November 1998 to vote
on Measure 1, for 3% of that money has been set
aside for ferry services and bike lanes which will
amount to $1 million a year. He stated they had
added 2%, so now it is 5% out of the $1.00 toll will
be allocated to ferry services and that is controlled
by MTC for allocation of the money. He stated his
first choice is the station which is a tent out in the
elements, not attractive or comfortable. He believes
S.S.F. should transmit its plan as soon as possible to
institute ferry services, get on the leadership for that
money, otherwise it will be allocated elsewhere.
He stated that at the hearing all of the ferry transit
was in Oakland, Alameda and Vallejo who are
capturing 60% of the operating funds which S.S.F.
can do, and he will go on record again before MTC
on our plan, which he did once before when Coun-
cilman Nicolopulos asked for assistance for ferry
service.
Councilwoman Matsumoto stated, as newly appoint-
ed to the Airport Roundtable, she attended a meeting
and conveyed Council concerns, i.e., we need to
insure there are funds available for the completion
of all of the dwelling units contemplated in the
MOU. She wanted that scale to be used so we can

more accurately evaluate the formula. We as a city
will benefit from that, and as a follow up they spoke
of the article in the paper about Councilman Penna
wanting to build highrises that the planes could not
fly over. Mr. Wilson arranged a meeting with U.S.
Senator Boxer and two airport people about our city
and she was asked if we wanted to participate, she
agreed and will bring back information to Council.
Mayor Mullin complimented Councilwoman
Matsumoto on her assertiveness with the airport, he
attended a meeting and she represented the City in a
competent manner.
Councilman Fernekes related a meeting held on the
third with the joint powers on the emergency ser-
vices to the County and we are coming down to the
end of discussions concerning the contracts between
two providers. At that meeting two agreements
were presented and Russ Lee and Mike Ahern were
there from the Fire Dept., and brought back the
agreements to the City Manager and City Attorney.
On the meeting of the 17th Council will have to
make a decision to enter or not enter into the agree-
ment and staff will be coming back with recommen-
dations to the whole Council prior to the 17th.
Vice Mayor Datzman related: the meeting he at-
tended on water transportation, he had explained that
he was there at the request of the Mayor and did not
make policy and that would be discussed at a Coun-
cil level; if a majority chooses to go in that direc-
tion, so it will be.
Mayor Mullin related: normally Council meetings
are held on the second and fourth Wednesday of the
month, but being the second meeting is 12/24/97, it
has been rescheduled to the 17th; he went to the
Oldtown Homeowners Christmas party and enjoyed
the program which had a large turnout.

are the plans and specs.
City Manager Wilson stated it is to set forth the
needs or replacement, what is there, to set forth the
options. The architectural costs are 15% of con-

he talked about an office mart, for the City wanted
something to generate substantial revenue; there
will be a $5.2 million pay back if there is a
retail project and that will come in irrespective of
commitment over a five year plan; this project en-
compasses the whole Shearwater Project; the Devel-
oper will pay for the improvements; six acre City
site will be remediated by the City and accepted

proved. She questioned if the Council perused the
extensive documentation for the EIR and other
things, for it would take at least six hours to get
through it.
Mayor Mullin stated that is right, it took more than
six hours.
Ms. Pont said it probably took 20 hours, but for the
general public there are things in the EIR and the
staff report - yet you only give a person five min-
utes to talk, and she felt that was unfair. She ques-
tioned if it was really necessary to bring in Auto
Nation, with 1000 cars for resale, a service center
and to do other services for diagnostics and oil
lubes. How often are cars sold every day, she
knows the City is looking for revenue, but she does
not think it is that great of an idea. She stated
there is other retail that generates greater taxes, like
a large grocery store or outlet stores as there are in
Vacaville and get more tax dollars. She is really
opposed to this used car sales application. She
stated the thousand cars have to be washed and the
water has to go somewhere and into the bay. The
City just cleaned up a toxic waste from Bethlehem
Steel, and now you are going to cover that with not
much top soil over clay that is unstable which makes
her very concerned. She is happy to see the bike
trails and natural plants that is going to be
considered for this area, you are also considering 4
more hotels, yet she can see a nice restaurant and
use this land for a municipal parking lot for
Caltrans, rather than what is being proposed; etc.
Mr. Brumley, Fort Lauderdale, stated he is Director
of Real Estate and wanted to address some of these
issues. He knew Council had seen a video describ-
ing Auto Nation and some of the issues are the
shortcomings of the car industry and that is why
Auto Nation is coming into existence. Most of us
buying a car are coming away less than satisfied. If
you break down the entire car buying process the
people that sell the car are in charge over the
process the second you walk in the door, but what
we have done is turn around the process and when
you come in we have a 1000 cars in all varieties for
the customer to see. There are computers around
and the customer can do his own credit approval and
insurance and other than driving the car you don't

need to talk to any one. All the cars are previously
used, but we recondition the automobiles at our
place in Stockton. We believe in the reconditioning
of the autos, and any car has an unconditional mon-
ey back guaranty, as a matter of fact if you bring
back the car with a problem we rent you a car to use
while we fix your auto and that is how much we
stand behind our product.
To try to facilitate the process we have a small
restaurant and a child play area and one of our main
targets is single mothers and if you come in with a
child he/she is left with an attendant for we are a
first class organization and there is nothing out there
like it today; etc.
Councilwoman Matsumoto stated the cars are going
to be done in Stockton, and in the tape it says your
cars start at $14,000.
Discussion followed: yes $14,000 is an average;
Auto Nation is in San Jose, Dublin and Richmond,
in the greater bay area they have four operations;
the video mentioned a community room as a public
service which was not mentioned tonight; they do
have a meeting room with a small kitchen and VCR
and allow special interest groups to use it; they label
it as a training community room; Auto Nation is
going to send Council an outline to explain the
process to use the community room; etc.
Discussion followed: letter on bay trail improve-
ments are not included in the top 200' for there is a
land link to the Sierra property; there is an amended
condition for the applicant to extend the 200' for it
melts into the right-of-way; staff anticipates some
sort of roadway between Bay West and Serra Point;
nothing has been surveyed and costs are not known,
however, the costs will be shared; Mayor Mullin
stated they didn't want to pay fair share on anything
other than their property, but the potential need for
a road is for emergency services; Serra has circu-
itous access to S.S.F. and for police patrols and may
need cooperation from the roalroad; applicant will
present the definition of the auto sales and other
things have to be approved before this can be ap-
proved; staff report conditions say there shall be a
sign no taller than 12'; etc.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
Mayor Mullin closed both the City Council and
Redevelopment Agency Public Hearings.
Discussion followed: the emergency service road, is
that where the t~re engines will travel; City Manager
had discussed with Brisbane a service contract, but
the two safety departments and they feel they can
respond to Serra Point by freeway and arrive faster
than any other way; the dilemma is during the nor-
mal police patrol, to show a presence, we wanted to
avoid the beat car to travel excessive distances, so
that was the primary need for the linkage; Coun-
cilwoman Matsumoto was interested in the restaurant
and whether it was a 3 star rating that is above the
average restaurant in the hotels; Vice Mayor
Datzman asked whose responsibility is it to take care
of the bay trail, for he did not want it to fall into
disrepair as others have; what is the agreement for
continued maintenance; it is the responsibility of the
project applicant; Mr. Larson stated the maintenance
of the trail is connected to other aspects of the Pro-
ject, as seen from the tentative map and the project
plan for there is a service roadway that bypasses and
that will be owned by an association that the various
owners of the site will be members and are bound
by the responsibilities of the disposition and devel-
opment agreement; Vice Mayor Datzman wanted
some teeth put into the agreement for maintenance;
there will be perhaps a Marriot Hotel and they will
have a continued interest in that; there are some
hotels that do not do restaurants, but the 3 star
was put in to assure quality of the project; the OPA
requirement is to maintain the public access and the
City Attorney suggested there be direction to allow
staff to negotiate that, and it is also subject to BCDC
and they will make similar requirements and allow
staff to coordinate that; Vice Mayor Datzman was
concerned about the EIR, page 15-9, would impact
P&R for it says public service for bay trail and talks
about mitigation measures and sounds like a City
responsibility; City Attorney stated it was his rec-
ommendation because they are going to BCDC
getting directions as well, and we want to be sure
there is an on-going funding and on-going mainte-
nance and draft a condition to have staff negotiate
that with the applicant after approval so as to be
consistent with BCDC; when will the additional
police be hired; the City Manager hopes to be back
in January with a program to add personnel; private

security commencing with the construction and that
means there will be security on the site early on; it
is not an issue, but a requirement; noise and dust
control of the site is a standard condition on the part
of the construction approval for a project this size;
Vice Mayor Datzman noted a page that was dupli-
cated with handwritten comments; those are Suzie's
editorials; Mayor Mullin had watched for the last
ten to twelve years the toxicity hot spots on the site
and attempts to clean the site and have it be aestheti-
cally pleasing; the idea of a used car lot sends shiv-
ers through the Mayor, but it will be well land-
scaped and upgraded from what it has been and the
rest is pie in the sky; it will generate revenues
and is the culmination of a large project, which is
not 100%, but it will enhance that entrance to the
City and move traffic which is a key element, plus
the flyover for the Oyster Point and that is more
apparent to widen four lanes for the additional traf-
fic to the marina and will be pleasing to the commu-
nity; the City Attorney was asked to direct the
Council and Agency on actions to be taken.

ITEMS FROM COUNCIL
Councilman Fernekes stated he wanted an item
agendized on the Summerhill Project across from
Orange Park, tbr a Subcommittee was established
that met quarterly with Kaiser, however, it is an
item for the whole Council.
City Manager Wilson related: staff looked at three
or four different types of projects that would be
residential and a mixed commercial with the possi-
bility of senior housing; staff compared how that
would be compatible to the neighborhood and looked
at the traffic; Council made a policy for a rezoning

to residential and was favorable to a senior housing
component; in response to that Summerhill did an
analysis - what do you mean by senior housing, we
cannot determine it in the market place; it is a num-
ber of units and land mass to put together a profile
to make a goal of it; they came back and started
putting together a proposal for the hospital and that
started conversations on senior housing on the site
or whether that was appropriate on another site; the
final decision has not been made, so they were
careful not to mention it around Kaiser; he does not
believe either of the two Councilmembers want to
say yea or nay, although there are discussions at
Kaiser maybe running afield - is this deal possible or
not possible; so he will come back and get great-
er detail to determine if we are interested in senior
housing either on site or a development fee and then
we can give direction to the developer, for until you
see a proposal on the site he did not think the Coun-
cil wants to discuss only a part of the project; one
alternative is senior housing on the site, and the
other alternative is a significant contribution.
Mayor Mullin stated Council needs to structure an
approach, which he will leave to staff for direction
or another study session for he has obvious concerns
that center around both of the issues, as well as
creating some type of senior housing. He wants to
continue providing housing that he will broadly call
middle class that we need in our community, and we
have need to look at the seniors and newly constitut-
ed families that will propel us through the next 30
years.
City Manager Wilson suggested agendizing this for
12/17/97 for a discussion, a conceptual discussion.
Councilwoman Matsumoto asked for direction for
the next Roundtable meeting in reference to mem-
bership of cities out of the County.
Mayor Mullin replied, that is an issue once you let a
city in that is out of the County.
Vice Mayor Datzman stated he wanted to talk about
the item concerning appointments.
Mayor Mullin spoke of a Council of Mayors dinner
Friday night at 6:00 p.m. and the lobbying of votes

various seats, and he has been besieged from sup-
porters and detractors of candidates, some of whom
he barely knows by sight.
Discussion followed: it is a self nominating process
which was done by Lee Panza and Helen Fisicaro;
Mayor Mullin is in the dark as to which person to
select that is best for the job; at the meeting each
candidate will stand up and give brief comments on
why they feel they are appropriate and questions are
allowed; Vice Mayor Datzman stated Lee Panza has
done a decent job, if not a better job, and if people
are applying for reappointment that should be the
criteria; Councilwoman Matsumoto stated if the
Council knows the individuals, having worked with
them, we could provide that to the Mayor for she
knows Mr. Panza to be thorough; City Manager
Wilson stated the Mayor could delegate that with a
letter; this is always done after the first Friday
