Harbor Shelter.
Mayor Gupta closed the Public Hearing and went into council discussion.
Councilmember Garbarino stated this subcommittee was not an easy one to serve on. He continued
stating that he was not sure whether the State would fund any of the listed programs and hoped that
the City gets funds from State so they can help the agencies. In his 15 years serving on this
committee, he has seen the funds reduced over the years and they never increase.

provide council with the subcommittee's recommendations.

recommended to approve Staff's recommendation.

LEGISLATIVE BUSINESS
7. Report regarding an ordinance amending Chapter 2.12 of the South San Francisco Municipal
Code to provide for a salary increase for the members of the City Council. (Jason Rosenberg,
City Attorney)
REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 26, 2017
MINUTES PAGE 4
7a. Ordinance amending Chapter 2.12 of the South San Francisco Municipal Code to provide
for a salary increase for the members of the City Council.
Attorney Rosenberg presented his report to Council. He stated the ordinance tonight was to raise
Council's salary from $500 a month to $750 a month. The current $500 a month salary was
established by ordinance in 1997. The California Government Code establishes a process by which
council members salary could be adjusted 5% for each year from the previous salary adjustment. He
continued that because the last salary adjustment was 20 years ago, Council had the ability to raise
the salary up to $1,000 a month. Attorney Rosenberg clarified although the Ordinance would be
effective 30 days after adoption, the actual increase would not be effective until the next council
member term begins, December 2018.
Councilmember Garbarino stated it was time to put it to rest and take a vote on it. $250 increase
was not a significant amount and made a motion to introduce the ordinance.
Vice Mayor Normandy seconded the motion.
Councilmember Addiego added he was not at the retreat due to an illness. He advised he would like
to take a cue from Councilmember Matsumoto and would consider rounding up to $1,000.
Councilmember Garbarino wished to amend his original motion and make a motion to raise it to
$1,000 amonth.
Vice Mayor Normandy agreed with Councilmember Addiego and believed it was important to set
the pay for the future council members.
Councilmember Matsumoto supported the motion by Council and added in some respect, they are
treated like employees. This would help with the offset.
Mayor Gupta stated none of the current council members were doing this job for the paycheck. It
was because of the passion and public service that drives them.
Motion—Councilman Garbarino /Second Vice Mayor Normandy: to introduce an Ordinance
amending Chapter 2.12 of the South San Francisco Municipal Code to provide for a salary increase
for the members of the City Council. Motion was approved by a unanimous roll call vote.
ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS
8. Report regarding a resolution approving Cooperative Implementation Agreement No.
D43CIASF0001 with Caltrans for the Orange Memorial Park Storm Water Capture Project.
(Justin Lovell, Public Works Administrator)
8a. Resolution No. 33 -2017 approving Cooperative Implementation Agreement No.
D43CIASF0001 with Caltrans for the Orange Memorial Park Storm Water Capture
Project.
Administrator Lovell gave the presentation on the item via PowerPoint. Administrator Lovell
advised the storm water capture project would be located at Orange Memorial Park and would

MINUTES PAGE 5
capture 163 acres of runoff. The project site would store two (2) million gallons of water at any
point in time. Caltrans had set aside $2.5 million for this fiscal year and would allocate money every
fiscal year.
Councilmember Addiego stated it was a brilliant concept but created limitations forever on the land.
He continued advising the City would not be able to place a community garden at the location.
Councilmember Addiego felt it would be less ideal.
City Manager Futrell stated this particular contract had an easy back door for the City. City would
use Caltrans money to pay for the research.
Mayor Gupta added this project is a regional project. He would like to make this project as a symbol
of what they want to do with other communities.
Coordinator Lovell stated if Council knew what they would like to place on top of the project, it
would make it easier for Staff to know what all would be needed in order to support what would be
placed on top. There was still enough time to say what the City wants to do with the site.
Councilmember Garbarino stated this was an exciting conceptual project and agreed with
Councilmember Addiego on this not being the best place to put this. He would like to relocate it
someplace else.
Councilmember Matsumoto advised the location does not bother her. She asked if they would be
able to take water out and load it into trucks to water some of the medians. Coordinator Lovell was
not sure if they would be able to do that but would find out. He continued reminding Council there
was still a lot of studies and engineering that needed to go into the project, which Caltrans would
pay for. Coordinator Lovell stated there would be a risk as this would be a new type of facility.
However, there would be an exit clause in the agreement allowing the City to get out of the
agreement and get reimbursed for all the costs if the City sees this project was not feasible.
Councilmember Matsumoto queried the completion date for the project. Coordinator Lovell
answered it would be the later part of 2020 or 2021.
Motion — Councilman Addiego /Second Councilwoman Matsumoto: to approve Resolution No. 33-
2017 approving resolution approving Cooperative Implementation Agreement No. D43CIASF0001
with Caltrans for the Orange Memorial Park Storm Water Capture Project. Motion was approved by
a unanimous roll call vote.
Council asked for a five (5) minute break at 9:10 p.m.
Council reconvened at 9:18 p.m.
9. Study Session on Police Department functions and strategies. (Jeff Azzopardi, Police Chief)
City Manager Futrell suggested Council could skip item 9 for another meeting or perhaps moving it
to the end of the agenda if there was enough time.
Councilmember Addiego remembered when study sessions were part of special meetings and
advised having study sessions in regular council meetings were not working for him.

10. Report regarding a resolution approving a services agreement with United Storm Water, Inc. of
City of Industry, California in an amount not to exceed $162,990 for the Storm Water Trash
Capture Devices Project (sdl40l) to comply with 2016 -2017 Municipal Regional Stormwater
Permit (MRP) trash load reduction requirements, and authorizing a total project budget of
$176,573. (Eunejune Kim, Public Works Director)
10a. Resolution No. 34 -2017 approving a services agreement with United Storm Water, Inc. of
City of Industry, California in an amount not to exceed $162,990 for the Storm Water
Trash Capture Devices Project (sdl40l) to comply with 2016 -2017 Municipal Regional
Stormwater Permit ( "MRP ") trash load reduction requirements, and authorizing a total
project budget of $176,573.
Supervisor Wemmer presented Council with the staff report. Public Works staff are pursuing
installation of approximately 263 small trash capture devices. Supervisor Wemmer stated that
strategic installation of these small devices would add 32% trash reduction resulting in the City
meeting 74% trash reduction by July of this year, exceeding the 70% requirement.
Councilmember Matsumoto asked whether United Storm Water was guaranteeing the City would
meet the 70% requirement. Supervisor Wemmer stated United Storm Water would not say that
however, the feasibility study done by Shafter and Wheeler and Engineering Division would
guarantee the City would get 74% trash reduction if the City installs them.
Vice Mayor Normandy asked whether this project would only take two (2) months. Supervisor
Wemmer advised it would take United Storm Water only two (2) weeks to install the small devices.
Director Kim stated it was important to keep the administrative cost. It would be a minimum of 264
units that could be extended for more.
Councilmember Addiego asked for clarification on how the screens work. Was it something they
place at the entrance of every storm drain and the workers remove the debris manually? Director
Kim advised the screens would act as a net and capture any debris that enters allowing water to go
through. A worker would then simply go by and vacuum any debris in the screen. Councilmember
Addiego stated it was unfortunate the City does not have 5 super structures instead of the 263
devices that require labor costs to maintain.
Councilmember Matsumoto asked if the screens would also capture the cigarette butts from Grand
Avenue. Supervisor Wemmer answered the 5mm is where the design came from as it was the
perfect size to keep the cigarette butts out of the storm drain system.
Motion — Councilman Garbarino /Second Councilman Addiego to approve Resolution No. 34 -2017
approving a services agreement with United Storm Water, Inc. of City of Industry, California in an
amount not to exceed $162,990 for the Storm Water Trash Capture Devices Project (sd1401) to
comply with 2016 -2017 Municipal Regional Stormwater Permit ( "MRP ") trash load reduction
requirements, and authorizing a total project budget of $176,573. Motion was approved by a
unanimous roll call vote.

11. Report regarding a resolution awarding a Purchase and Installation Agreement to
Telecommunications Engineering Associates of San Carlos, California for the Fire Station Alert
Package Project (Project No. pf1706) in an amount not to exceed $140,249, and authorizing a
total construction budget of $175,311. (Gerald Kohlmann, Fire Chief)
11 a. Resolution No. 35 -2017 awarding a Purchase and Installation Agreement to
Telecommunications Engineering Associates of San Carlos, California for the Station
Alert Package Project (Project No. pfl706) in an amount not to exceed $140,249 and
authorizing a total construction budget of $175,311.
Chief Kohlmann presented Council with staff report.
Councilmember Garbarino queried whether the alert package had a backup system if there was a
power outage. Chief Kohlmann confirmed it had an uninterruptible power supply to maintain that
connectivity.
Vice Mayor Normandy asked if the company had done the installations to the other eight (8) fire
stations in the County. Chief Kohlmann stated they had done all the installations to those fire
stations. The purchase of the hardware would have to be purchased by July 1, 2017 and the
installation had to occur before the end of 2017.
Vice Mayor Normandy stated a concern on item five (5) of the agreement on general warranties and
product compliance. Chief Kohlmann stated the vendor is warrantying the product since they would
be commercial off the shelf components. If they failed, then the contractor would go back to the
manufacturer of that product.
Attorney Rosenberg confirmed it was the standard purchase agreement language that the vendor
would guarantee the product they are supplying is what they say it would do and free of defects.
Attorney Rosenberg added the language could be modified to match the agreement.
Mayor Gupta stated he believed this project was moving at the right direction as it was moving to a
wireless from a wired system and connectability with other fire stations in the County. It would also
be upgradeable without replacing the entire system.
Motion — Councilman Garbarino /Second Councilman Addiego: to approve Resolution No. 35 -2017
awarding a Purchase and Installation Agreement to Telecommunications Engineering Associates of
San Carlos, California for the Station Alert Package Project (Project No. pfl 706) in an amount not

Staff presentation by Director Kim recommending the resolution approving the agreement.
AECOM representative demonstrated a simulation showing the overcrossing. The new project
would provide improvements for vehicles and pedestrians.
Councilmember Addiego asked how the project would impact some of the properties. AECOM
representative stated the project is in a well - developed area. They came up with a refined alternative
that take the alignment over the reception area of the travel lodge and would not touch the housing
part of it.
Councilmember Matsumoto was concerned about round a bouts. AECOM representative stated
there would not be any round a bouts as it takes up too much area and not the best solution for
South San Francisco.
Councilmember Matsumoto queried the estimated cost of the project. Director Kim estimated
around $50 million with a high range of $100 - $200 million.
Councilmember Matsumoto asked what they were looking timing wise for the entire project.
AECOM representative stated in a perfect world, it would take about six (6) years to complete.
Vice Mayor Normandy asked for information in regards to community outreach. AECOM
representative answered community outreach was an important component of the project and they
would first develop a community outreach plan.
Mayor Gupta queried why north bound traffic not included. AECOM representative stated the
distance between the 380 on -ramp and the South Airport Boulevard hook -ramps were too close to
each other. Mayor Gupta asked if there was any risk moving forward with this project. City
Manager Futrell confirmed there would be risk but was confident they would find the funding for
this phase which had already been found with the next phase as well. This would move the project
along and would give the City 3 -4 years to find the answer to that question.
Councilmember Matsumoto asked if they would be closing the Miller exit. City Manager Futrell
stated they would come back to Council for that action item.
Motion — Councilman Addiego /Second Councilman Garbarino: to approve Resolution No. 36 -2017

Councilmember Matsumoto stated she had no problems attending the 7:00 p.m. Regular City
Council meetings but feels the 6:00 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. Special City Council meetings are becoming

Councilmember Garbarino advised that most other agencies in San Mateo County provide their
members with a dinner when they had meetings start at 6:00 p.m. or 6:30 p.m. and he had no
problem with that. He continued and stated that if some members do not want to order dinner then
that is fine but some of the members do.

diffuse controversy.
