Measure W Update. (Marian Lee, Assistant City Manager)       Assistant City Manager Lee presented the staff report advising she needs some guidance on site selection and procuring consultant program management services to help enhance staff team to progress with this project. Assistant City Manager Lee advised the three key topics are the 1) Five- Year paving plan, 2) Relocation options for municipal services buildings, and 3) Program management structure proposing for this project.   Mayor Addiego opposed the idea of having Information Technology (IT), Human Resources (HR) and City Clerk's Office being located in the new Police Department (PD). Mayor Addiego also opposed the idea of surface parking.   Councilwoman Matsumoto agreed with Mayor Addiego's comments. Vice Mayor Gupta agreed with Mayor Addiego's comments. Councilman Garbarino expressed concerns regarding all the visitors that visit the Municipal Services Building (MSB) due to it being seismically unsafe.     Councilwoman Matsumoto asked staffifbuilding an amphitheater is doable if they do away with the surface parking and get podium parking instead.   City Manager Futrell advised it is doable and staff would have to work on financing. They went with option 4 because that was the most the City could afford under Measure W and other monies as well.   Mayor Addiego referred to the 46,000 square footage planned for the library was too small for a city that is on the verge of70,000 residents. Mayor Addiego mentioned San Mateo has a library of90,000 square feet with a population of 100,000 residents. Mayor Addiego calculated South San Francisco is 7/10 the size of San Mateo so the library should also be 7/10 the size of San Mateo's which is 63,000 square feet. Mayor Addiego stated he would not be satisfied with something that doesn't make a statement that South San Francisco is a grand community.   Staff made a point to council that the trend in libraries are changing slightly due to the technology aspect where libraries book collections are getting smaller due to the popularity of digital books and more focus is being spent on program space and people space.   Vice Mayor Gupta agrees that many of the books are digitized but many residents are not keeping up with the digital revolution. Vice Mayor Gupta sees the library as a place where a diversity of people can get together and have meetings or discussions.   City Manager Futrell recapped the meeting stating there will be a Special Meeting on April 19th to review the details from today. There will be a closed and open session.
