common good and the City is a partner with Kaiser.
She related: she joined Kaiser in 1983 and practiced

December; in her role as Chief of Staff she monitors
the medical and employees to assure the quality of
care is outstanding; Kaiser gives financial dona-
tions to agencies that promote social and mental
health of the community; she presented donations of

munity Advisory Board and to Maggie Quatro on
the North Peninsula Neighborhood Center.
Fire Education Specialist Kennedy complimented
Councilwoman Matsumoto for having completed the
Community Emergency Response Team Training
last night in view of her busy schedule and for
recognizing the importance of the class.
Councilwoman Matsumoto stated it was a wonderful
program, for S.S.F. has by night 60,000 people and
by day 150,000 and in an emergency our police and
fire people will be stretched. So, the course taught
her how to assist herself and neighbors and there

was enough information to keep it simple, but
enough that she will be effective; and thanked the
Fire Department for offering the course.
Fire Education Specialist Kennedy stated, because
San Mateo County was included in the President's
declaration starting tomorrow there will be a listing
on TCI of numbers for FEMA for those people
experiencing a loss from El Nino. She stated the
800 number will be in English and Spanish, and if
people need additional information they can call the
Fire Department and go to a class.

So ordered.
ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
Mr. Carl Rowlands stated he was appointed to the
Personnel Board a year ago and has learned about
the amount of efforts Council puts into meetings,
and does not think Council gets enough thanks. He
stated the Planning Commission is doing an excel-
lent job on the McLellan Project and the Avalon
Park and the many other beautiful projects and the
people appreciate it. He wished they would put a
number on what is low and moderate income af-
fordable housing, because he does not think anyone
can afford the homes. He felt the noise insulation
project was excellent, and there is more money
being asked for because other communities see the
success we had in promoting it and we are an exam-
ple for the whole County.
He continued: just recently Council took on the
project of repaving Hickey to Avalon Park, and he
felt this was a great project and that area

badly needed the work; he appreciated the refur-
bishing of the swimming pool this winter and felt it
was excellent; during this past week with El Nino
the City has provided sandbags for the community,
his daughter needed some and they helped other
neighbors who were offered ten apiece that were
already filled and City workers loaded them into the
cars and trucks; one City worker was on his lunch
hour and went with an elderly lady to help with the
sandbags; he was here to thank the Council very
much and asked them to keep up the good work.
Mayor Mullin stated the day to day managers and
employees are highly into customer service, and
even with all of the problems there have been eom-
pliments from the community.
Ms. Eloise Kee, 849 W. Orange, invited everyone
to support the Westborough Swimming Pool Fund
Raising Committee wine and cheese tasting on Sat-
urday, 2/21/98 and the price is $25.00 per person.
What brought this about was the Day In the Park
where everyone came together and it was a success.
COMMUNITY FORUM/COUNCIL
SUBCOMMITEE REPORTS
Councilman Penna complimented City Treasurer
Ford on her continuing successful investment policy
of maintaining a 6% interest rate with some 35
investments which is larger than some banks.
Vice Mayor Datzman related: a few months ago we
talked to the Scavenger Co. to follow through on the
recycling program for apartments, and in receiving a
news letter that shows they have done that; he was
asked by a member of the community about cele-
brating history at the Conference Center, for there is
a symposium and it is reasonable in cost; there will
be a Day In the Park on Saturday, 9/19/98, because
that is the City's 90th Birthday and Councilman
Fernekes will be on that Committee because he has
some experience on that commitment.
Councilman Fernekes related: he and the Vice
Mayor and staff met with the School District and the
Subcommittee for the liaison on a number of issues;
the Alta Loma Triangle - what our plans are to
develop that into the park since the School District

sold the additional land at El Rancho; talk of ex-
panding the park to include the School District
property for a continuation park and we can use it
and there will be one master plan park, not just the
ten acres the City owns; the School District was
very receptive; the second is a letter the District sent
to BART on their EIR and concerns with the devel-
opment of BART as it proceeds through our City; he
assured the District that as a Subcommittee member
those remarks will be related to BART; Families On
Track is giving a grant, we have been told it is very
positive for the School District to receive the funds
for Parkway Middle School; the School District will
know in 30 days how the funding is coming; the
Spruce classroom located behind the School, the
City asked about renting or purchasing those class-
rooms for community use; they explored the possi-
bility of looking at Sunshine and developing a park
and playground to offer the area their own park,
because there is none there and they were receptive.
Councilwoman Matsumoto related: Dave Valkanaar
took new Roundtable members through the Airport
Traffic Control; at the meeting she brought to the
table with most emphasis on the landing and the
noise created by that; she was looking for support,
because the plans will be heavier so they can't climb
as high; she got four to five Councilmembers and
Pat Kelly will look at these more seriously; she was
grateful to go one on one; she met with Assistant
City Manager Moss and Director of Parks, Recre-
ation & Community Services Nagel, former Coun-
cilman Drago, President of Art Rise Ron Burgess
and Director of Finance Brooks; apparently we have
a couple of funds in our budget and in an effort to
consolidate these funds which were established as a
Cultural Events Trust Fund with matching funds and
now it is $26,000 and we have two funds; so a
resolution will rescind this and consolidate it into the
Cultural Arts Commission Fund and that will be on
the next agenda.
Mayor Mullin related: he and Councilwoman
Matsumoto met twice with a new consultant the City
has hired, Sanford Fidel, to advise the City on
Airport related issues either in conjunction or with
the Airport Roundtable and there have been two
meetings on the scope of activities and will keep the

Council posted as it proceeds; he is the representa-
tive to ABAG from this area; we were one of four
cities given funding for the bay trail, a walking trail,
that will encompass the 400 miles around the bay,
200 miles have been completed and we are the
fourth city to pickup funding after the Oyster Point
Marina on the southerly side; we had an outreach
program with the Chamber about two weeks ago,
staff and Council met with some of the larger busi-
nesses and yesterday with Olympic Oil and talked
about what the City can do to enhance their busi-
ness; the Subcommittee has met with ten or twelve
businesses over the last year, he thinks it is a very
positive outreach of attracting new businesses; met
with some of the people on Airport talking about the
tree planting and parking realignment and had a
productive meeting and he will give the Council an
update; the North San Mateo Council of Cities
nominated Councilman Fernekes to BCDC as the
representative to that body and is up for interviews
in March, but he was the selection of ten cities that
make up the Board and he hoped he will replace
Bob Yee who was the representative; Council is
looking at an extensive upgrade in personnel in
police, park and recreation and increasing the hours
of the library; he knows Mr. Drago is looking in
and he will be pleased to see us pursue his goals to
keep the library open as much as possible and the
revenue has been good to expand and in park and
recreation we will bring in Terrabay Recreation
Center; in response to Councilman Penna he stated
the consultant lives in the Los Angeles area and flew
up here twice.
City Manager Wilson stated there was a follow up
meeting and the Subcommittee identified three broad
objectives and he is preparing strategies for the
Council to consider, we are waiting for the Subcom-
mittee to refine those because they have greater
recommendations and then it will be brought to the
entire Council where they will meet the consultant
and provide direction.
Councilwoman Matsumoto stated she was told to say
Monday, March 2, 1998, for the Subcommittee and
the Council can invite community representatives,
say at 3:30 p.m.

ment was not for police and fire dispatch services.
Police Chief Raffaelli stated dispatch services for
both would create technical problems, and next year
they will consolidate and go for one location or go
with S.S.F. Police services by this City would cost
them more, because it is more than the two fire calls
per day.
Councilman Penna suggested having a centralized
No. County dispatch services.
Police Chief Raffaelli stated something is going on
right now for fire, but police service levels are a lot
more important and when they call 911 they get the
County.
Councilman Fernekes stated this is an interim
agreement, and as the ALS develops Brisbane will
have to go with the County.
M/S Penna/Fernekes - To adopt the Resolution.
RESOLUTION NO. 15-98
Carried by unanimous voice vote.
City Manager Wilson stated each of the Department
Heads will give a summary of the personnel addi-
tions to their budgets.
Police Chief Raffaelli requested increased appropri-
ations: 2 police officers and 1 police service tech-
nician 1/1/98; 1 police officer, and 2 police service
technicians 7/1/98; I police officer and 1 police
clerk 1/1/99; and 1 police officer on 7/1/99.
Councilwoman Matsumoto related: she thinks the
police are doing a wonderful job, but is concerned
about the recent crime; there is a proliferation of
people in the stores in the early morning; she would
like to see more physical police on the streets and
questioned if they would be in uniform.
Police Chief Raffaelli stated they will be on the
street working certain areas where we have prob-
lems, and there will be an additional three officers.
There will be a task force to deal with the problems

in that area, for example, we were having a rash of
robberies, and in the downtown we needed the task
force to look at the transients and work in the area
to make it safer. Wearing uniforms would vary
depending on the profile, in the downtown we may
want uniforms for contacts, but not if we want to
perform a stake-out, so it is dictated by the kind of
work and is specifically for that purpose.
Vice Mayor Datzman related: public comfort zone
in the downtown - is it real or perceived; in talking
about the downtown we are trying to encourage
people to visit restaurants in the evening hours and
take things in an uphill vein; there is a high police
presence now, but we are looking in more detail to
solve some of the social problems in the downtown
area; he mentioned good management over housing
versus no management; where you have good man-
agement you control, and where you have an ab-
sence of management you have a spill over of prob-
lems that affect the people wanting to visit the area;
he questioned if the program discussed several years
ago to look at the whole issue was still around.
Police Chief Raffaelli stated, yes staff has it, it was
by staff to address those issues through the cop
programs and code enforcement has started a stron-
ger role, and in reviewing it we are implementing
that already, however, there is room to even go
further to meet the needs the Vice Mayor discussed.
Library Director Sommer related: the proposal will
extend Grand Avenue hours 14 hours and West
Orange Library 6 hours on a weekly schedule, and
Grand will reopen on Monday evenings, Friday
mornings, and all day Saturdays. West Orange
Library will reopen on Mondays, Tuesdays, and
Thursday mornings. She stated the Council made a
real commitment with the reopening of the history
room, it has been well received by the public, for
seniors like to use the libraries in the mornings.
Mayor Mullin stated there are a lot of exciting
things happening in the libraries, not only extending
the hours, such as the renovation of the Carnegie
Library due to the seismic work done. He
encouraged everyone to attend since the enhance-
ment of the Carnegie appearance and was happy to
see it will be open on Saturdays. He stated, down

the road Council is looking to expand West Orange
in the not too distant future.
Director of Parks, Recreation & Community Ser-
vices Nagel related: one full time coordinator is
needed for Terrabay and several part time, plus
instructors; anticipate the need for one more custo-
dian and generally feel quite a bit of revenue can be
generated and all fee based; he cannot anticipate the
fees because it is a gymnasium and it may take time
to evolve; he has two maintenance workers, a City
crew of two, and one that goes around cleaning up
of debris in the City and want to get one more for a
parkman; we need another groundperson for that
limits our activities; additional trees will go up,
there will be a need for routine service and we need
another tree trimmer.
M/S Matsumoto/Fernekes - To adopt the Resolution.
RESOLUTION NO. 16-98
Carried by unanimous voice vote.
Director of Economic & Community Development
Van Duyn related: the 1/14/98 public hearing on
the Genentech overlay allowed them to be able to
have a parking lot without the benefits of wheel
stops in all unenclosed parking lots, because the
business proposes to establish an aggressive parking
management plan and security force; staff is asking
direction to prepare an ordinance to implement a
city-wide wheel stop policy and implement that
policy; he had indicated the history of wheel stops in
the City which the police support, however, excep-
tions and limitations can be considered and if the
Council directed us to come back with an ordinance
it would be that any deviations would be subject to a
case by case review.
Vice Mayor Datzman stated this is a controversial
item, but the only concern he had when the thing
came up has been resolved. He stated, when we
talk about exceptions he wants to make sure we are
consistent. It appears that people have to show if
they have an established plan with 24 hour security,
and if both of those are present and if there aren't
any lapses. He thanked staff for a quick and pro-
fessional job.

Director of Economic & Community Development
Van Duyn stated if that is how the Vice Mayor
wants it, staff will draft it that way.
MIS Penna/Fernekes - to approve the policy.
Carried by unanimous voice vote.
Director of Public Works Gibbs related: some time
ago the Police Department approached engineering
on the use of speed humps as a means to calm exist-
ing traffic; unfortunately the State of CA Depart-
ment of Transportation and the Manual on Uniform
Traffic Control Devices have not established any
guidelines, warrants and/or design standards for
speed bumps or humps; for the past year staff has
reviewed guidelines from several different European
countries and local cities on speed humps; staff
selected and modified these guidelines and those set
by TrE to establish a set of guidelines which best
suit and cater to the needs of the residents of S.S.F.;
requested Council direction to staff to pick a speed
hump location and study it for a period of time;
because the City has never used speed humps, it is
necessary to select a location and on receiving a
petition from the home owners, staff will construct a
traffic study; after six months of being installed, see
the effects and depending on the street we will deter-
mine whether or not that will be adopted.
Discussion followed: speed humps are ugly; staff is
trying to introduce something that will calm traffic
down; signs used to advise the public of the bumps;
Police Chief Raffaelli stated stop signs are to control
intersection traffic because of accidents and insur-
ance; in the past stop signs have been put up for
speed control, and the Council is aware that Myrtle
has always been a problem, for we have put in stop
signs and they work for a short period of time, but
it has the same peak hours and the police put in the
stop signs; this is another method and he contacted
other police depts, and they said there has been a
reduction of speed and the fire dept. has not found
them as a problem with a fire which is all addressed
in the staff report; Councilwoman Matsumoto stated
there are bumps in her neighborhood and people
ignore them; these are not speed bumps but humps,
because speed bumps don't work, but with this they
feel the effect and slow down; Vice Mayor Datzman

has real concerns with each of the items in the staff
report; he does not have a problem with saying why
don't we experiment, but feels it is opening
Pandora's box; he found it unfortunate that the State
has not come up with guidelines; why only do it on
minor streets; the major streets show too much
traffic, and you are creating a traffic problem be-
cause the people have to slow down to go over it,
let alone the trucks and ambulances; a notice has to
be sent to everyone in the neighborhood to vote on
it; City Engineer Chuck spoke of the length of a
roadway needed for high speed and on a short street
you would not have an effect to lower the speed; a
speed bump on an axle is more dangerous than a
dip; why would anyone want a hump in the street
when the street is falling apart; staff is looking
between homes because some people don't want it in
front of their houses; if you put a hump in a
location, how would you test it; the study took the
speed of the cars, then afterwards staff does another
to see if the speed reduced; if it is successful, and
other neighborhoods ask for it but do not qualify,
for if it is a one time situation it may be successful
if the only criteria is the speed before and after is
lesser, but that is not the issue for there is frustra-
tion of people with it and that is why there is not a
policy adopted by the State of CA; Police Chief
Raffaelli stated the speed hump will not only reduce
it but cut through traffic, generally for the collector
speeds; what is the average speed of the streets
affected; five streets were from 40' or less and the
average is from 32' to 40'; why would you need
speed bumps on narrow streets where cars are
parked; the cars still speed through narrow streets
when they know the road and that is when staff uses
the speed undulator; Councilman Penna does not
believe in speed bumps and they speed over humps
once they get used to them, but a speed bump can
damage the car; he questioned the City's liability
and if they are going out on a limb; the liability
is discretionary, more importantly you might get that
by the addition of signs to know their locations, so it
is not significant; the speed bump is twelve inches
and the hump is like riding an elevator with an up
and down motion; Ass't. Civil Engineer Antonio
stated no lawsuits have been filed with the cities
staff called and traffic has been reduced and so has
the speed by 5%; Vice Mayor Datzman wants to see

statistics from other cities with this policy; this did
impact on parking; any location picked would be
based on the topography of the street; this may be
found to not be compatible with people's lifestyles;
Mayor Mullin will look forward to the reports from
the three cities and the item will be rescheduled for
the next meeting.
ITEMS FROM COUNCIL
Councilman Fernekes related: since we have had
the new law that smoking is not done inside facili-
ties, that he supports, we have found there is an
increasing amount of people smoking outside on
Grand Avenue; he sees City crews in there morning
maintaining the streets, but the problem he sees on
Saturday and Sunday in front of the bars on Grand
Avenue have lots of cigarette butts that are becom-
ing a problem; is there something Council can do to
have people come on Saturday to clean it up.
City Manager Wilson stated he would look into it
and may also want to ask the proprietor to be sensi-
tive and then send the crew out.
Mayor Mullin stated Davis has an ordinance that
deals with some of those areas to keep the area
outside free from smoke, he thinks it is difficult to
enact where you can put pressure on the owners
with respect to that problem.
Mr. Tony Khorazian complained of NEC heavily
loaded cargo planes passing over houses in his
neighborhood in the night. He has complained to
Supervisor Griffin, a member of the Roundtable,
because we don't want something to happen, just as
a big disaster.
Mayor Mullin stated the Council talked about
bringing a consultant on board, who will be looking
at the size of planes and how heavily loaded and
shared Mr. Khorazian's concern with the heavily
loaded planes flying at low altitudes.
Mr. Khorazian thanked all the staff and the crews
cleaning the streets, police and fire and the people in
the public because thank God we don't have any-
thing major going on because of our guys, City
