5. Consideration of Oversight Board request to reallocate a portion or all of the

other taxing entities.
Mayor Addiego introduced the topic to Council. He advised that at its Special Meeting on
February 23, 2016, the South San Francisco Oversight Board moved to recommend that the City
Council consider allocating a portion of the Sares Regis Development community benefits
payment to the South San Francisco Unified School District ( "SSFUSD "). He explained that
Oversight Board Member Krause, representing the SSFUSD, had voiced the District's concern
over its loss of roughly $3,000,000 due to the impact of the community benefits payment on the
overall land valuation and ultimate sale price of the property. Mayor Addiego advised that the
Board did not reject the resolution authorizing the sale of the land as it did not want to delay the
project; however the Mayor strongly recommended consideration of an allocation to the SSFUSD
to maintain goodwill with the Board on similar property sales moving forward. Before
concluding, he read a letter to the Council from SSFUSED Superintendent Dr. Shawnterra
Moore regarding the issue.
Councilmembers expressed an understanding of the SSFUSD's perceived loss, while noting the
financial benefits would be realized by all taxing entities over the long run. Nonetheless,
fleshing out the community benefits payment in a more defined manner on future projects might
assist the sale approval process. Given that the park fee in this instance was negotiated as
opposed to predefined by ordinance, Councilmembers were comfortable with an allocation to the
SSFUSD in this instance. The allocation would be limited to designated project or projects
consistent with the City's community benefits ordinance.
Motion - Councilman Garbarino /Second - Councilwoman Matsumoto: to allocate $1,000,000 to
the SSFUSD to be utilized for a specified project or project(s) that are consistent with the City's
Municipal Code provisions related to Community Benefits, and to be worked out in agreement
with the SSFUSD. Unanimously approved by roll call vote.
