AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 20.06 OF THE SOUTH SAN
FRANCISCO MUNICIPAL CODE TO MODIFY THE DEFINITION OF
"LAUNDRY SERVICES" AND ADD A NEW CATEGORY FOR "LINEN
SUPPLY SERVICES" AND AMENDING CHAPTERS 20.22 "C-1 RETAIL
COMMERCIAL DISTRICT USE REGULATIONS," AND 20.30 "M-1
INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT USE REGULATIONS" TO INCLUDE "LINEN
SUPPLY SERVICES" AS A CONDITIONALLY PERMITTED USE
WHEREAS, on April 14, 2004, the City of South San Francisco City Council considered the
appeal of the Planning Commission's decision upholding the determination of the Chief Planner that
expansion of laundry services use at 915 Linden in the C-1 Retail Commercial Zoning District is
inconsistent with the General Plan; and
WHEREAS, after public hearing and discussion of the issues, the City Council directed staff
to prepare a zoning text amendment to define "linen supply services" as a commercial use subject to
a conditional use permit; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with the City Council's direction, staff analyzed the existing
definition of Laundry Services and determined that it does not adequately address linen suppliers
who provide retail sales of linen in addition to the traditional linen supply business that stores,
launders, ships and receives linen directly from its facility; and
WI-EEREAS, the proposed amendments have been determined to be "Categorically Exempt"
under the "General Rule" (CEQA Section 15061 (b) (3)) that CEQA applies only to projects that
}nave the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. The proposed amendments are
process-oriented, requiring additional levels of review through the use permit process for each
applicable future project, and consequently, there is no possibility that the proposed amendments
could have a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, no further environmental review is
necessary to adopt the proposed text amendments; and
WHEREAS, on May 6, 2004, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hezuSng to
consider the proposed text amendments and recommended, by a 7 to 0 vote that the City Council
adopt the amendments as recommended by staff; and
WHEREAS, the findings and dete~nninations contained herein are based on City Council's
independent review of competent and substantial evidence, both oral and written, contained in the
entire record relating to the project, including the minutes and staff reports of the April 14, 2004,
City Council meeting; testimony and materials received at the May 6, 2004 duly noticed public
hearing of the Planning Commission and the testimony and materials received at the duly noticed
public hearing of the City Council conducted on May 26, 2004.
NOW THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of South San Francisco does hereby
ORDAIN as follows:
SECTION i. FINDINGS
General Plan: The proposed amendments are consistent with the 1999 General Plan. The
General Plan provides in Guiding Policy 20G04 that the City should provide for continued
operation of older industrial and commercial businesses at specific locations. The proposed
amendment permits the City to allow commercial laundry facilities in specified areas. In
order to ensure no conflict between adjacent land uses, a Conditional Use permit must first
be obtained.
Health, Safety and Welfare: The proposed amendments to the zoning code will not be
adverse to the public health, safety or general welfare of the community. Because no use will
be permitted as a matter of right within the Commercial District, conditions may be imposed
to mitigate any potential adverse impacts associated with linen supply services in an
otherwise purely commercial district.
SECTION 2. AMENDMENTS
Section 20.06.160(d) is amended as follows:
"(d) Laundry Services
The Laundry Service use .type refers to establishments primarily engaged in the provision of
laundering, dry cleaning, or dyeing services other than those classified as Linen Supply Services or
Personal Services. Typical uses include laundry agencies and diaper services."
Section 20.06.160(g) is hereby added to Chapter 20.06.160 as set forth below:
"(g) Linen Supply Services
The Linen Supply Service use type refers to establishments primarily engaged in linen rentals and/or
sales, and having an on-site customer showroom in addition to laundering, storage, and ancillary
shipping and receiving facilities."
Sections 20.22.040(c) of Chapter 20.22 "C-1 Retail Commercial District Use Regulations" and
20.30.030(c) of Chapter 20.30 "M-1 Industrial District Use Regulations" are amended to include
"Linen Supply Services" as a conditionally permitted commercial uses.
SECTION 3. SEVERABILITY
If any provision of this ordinance or the application thereof to any person or circumstance is held
invalid, the remainder of this ordinance, including the application of such part or provision to other
persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby and shall continue in full force and effect. To
this end, provisions of this ordinance are severable. The City Council of the City of South San
Francisco hereby declares that it would have passed each section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph,
sentence, clause, or phrase hereof irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections,
subdivisions, paragraphs, sentences, clauses, or phrases be held unconstitutional, invalid, or
unenforceable.
SECTION 4. PUBLICATION AND EFFECTIVE DATE
This Ordinance shall be published once, with the names of those City Councilmembers voting for or
against it, in the San Mateo Times, a newspaper of general circulation in the City of South San
Francisco, as required by law, and shall become effective thirty (30) days from and after its adoption.

Adopt An Employer Pick-up Resolution For Pre-Tax Payroll Deduction Plan for
PERS Service Credit Purchases
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt an Employer Pick-up Resolution allowing employees to use a pre-tax payroll deduction plan to
purchases service credit through the Public Employees Retirement System.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The Board of Administration of the California Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS) allows for the
use of a pre-tax payroll deduction plan for employees when purchasing PERS service credit. This plan meets
the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) section 414(h)(2) and the California State Government Code. By
approving this, the City provides a tax benefit to employees who purchase service credit. This pre-tax payroll
deduction plan would be available to all employees in the PERS coverage member groups - essentially all
City employees who are members of PERS.
The City will implement the provisions of IRC section 414(h)(2) by making employee contributions for
service credit purchases pursuant to the California State Government Code on behalf of its employees who
are members of PERS and who have made a binding irrevocable election to participate in the pre-tax payroll
deduction plan. Employee contributions are those contributions reported to PERS that are deducted from
employees' salary and are credited to individual employee accounts for service credit purchases, thereby
resulting in tax deferral of employee contributions.
There are no costs to providing this for employees, other than initial limited administrative costs in setting up
the payroll system to provide for this.

City of South San Francisco Investment Policy
June 9, 2004
INTRODUCTION:
The following statement is intended to provide guidelines for the "Prudent Person Standard" of
investment of the City's temporary idle cash and to outline the policies for an effective cash
management system.
Investments shall be made with judgment and care which persons of prudence and intelligence exercise
in the management of their own affairs considering safety of principal as well as probable income to be
derived.
The City's cash management system's goal is to accurately monitors and forecasts revenues and
expenditures enabling the City to invest funds to the fullest extent possible. The City Treasurer
attempts to obtain the highest yield possible as long as investments meet the criteria established for
safety and liquidity. This investment policy applies all City funds except retirement, pension, or bond
funds.
The investment policies and practices of the Treasurer of the City of South San Francisco are based
upon federal, state, and local laws as well as prudent money management. The primary objectives of
these policies are, in priority order:
To assure compliance with all federal, state, and local laws governing the investment of
monies.
2. To maintain the principal of the City's investments.
3. To remain sufficiently liquid to meet all expenses.
After safety and liquidity are assured, to generate the maximum amount of investment
income within the parameters of this statement of investment policy.
TREASURER'S INVESTMENT OB,IECTIVES:
SAFETY OF PRINCIPAL is the foremost objective of the investment policy. The
Treasurer shall seek to ensure that capital losses are avoided with each investment
transaction. The objective is to mitigate credit risk (the loss due to failure of the security
issuer or broker) and interest rate risk (the market value of the security in the portfolio
will fall due to changes in general interest rates).
LIQUIDITY is the second most important objective of the investment policy. It is
important that a portion of the portfolio contain investments, which can be easily
liquidated with minimal, or no risk to principal and/or interest. The longest maturity of
any investment shall be five years. The portfolio shall be structured so that sufficient
funds are readily available to meet all reasonably anticipated operating expenses.
~1-
YIELD is the interest earned by the City Treasurer on monies invested. The City' s fund
shall be designed to attain a market-average rate of return (defined as the average return
on a three month U.S. treasury bill) through various economic cycles. Yield will be
considered only after the basic requirements of safety, liquidity, and credit quality have
been met.
AUTHORIZED INVESTMENTS:
The City is governed by the California Government Code, Section 53600 et. seq. Within the context of
these limitations, the following investments are authorized:
U.S. TREASURY SECURITIES for which the faith and credit of the U.S. are pledged for the
payment of principal and interest.
OBLIGATIONS ISSUED BY AGENCIES OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT,
including the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA), the Federal Farm Credit
Bank System (FFC), the Federal Home Loan Bank Board (FHLB), the Federal National
Mortgage Association (FNMA), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC), and
the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA).
BANKER'S ACCEPTANCES are bills of exchange or time drafts drawn on and accepted by a
commercial bank, which are eligible for purchase by the Federal Reserve System. There is a
time limit (180 days) and a 20% limit of surplus money, which may be invested in bankers'
acceptances by municipalities. No more than $5.0 million may be invested in any one
institution.
COMMERCIAL PAPER must be of prime quality of the highest rating (P1 by Moody's or A1
by Standard and Poors). Eligible paper is limited to corporations organized and operating
within the U.S. and having total assets of at least $500,000,000. There are also limitations as to
the percent (15%) of the portfolio, the time of investment (270 days), and the dollar amount
invested in any one bank or corporation ($3.0 million).
CERTIFICATES OF DEPOSIT are not really considered investments in the true sense of the
word. They allow the City Treasurer to select the exact amount, the day of maturity, as well as
the exact depository. (There are penalties for withdrawal of funds prior to the original maturity
date.) Since time deposits are not liquid, no more than 20% shall be invested in this type of
investment for longer than one year. Any investment over the $100,000 FDIC insurance shall be
collateralized at 110% with United States Treasuries. No more than $5.0 million may be placed
in any one institution.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS (Repos) allow a purchase of securities by a local agency; by
agreement, the seller will repurchase the securities on or before a specified date and for a
specified amount. The maturity should not exceed ninety days. Repos should only be purchased
when a purchase agreement is executed with a bank in which the underlying U.S. Treasuries
pledged as security shall have a market value of at least 102% of the funds borrowed.
-2-
THE LOCAL AGENCY INVESTMENT FUND is a pooled fund managed by the state treasurer
whose permitted investments are identified in the government code. L.A.I.F. provides for
deposits up to a maximum of forty million dollars ($40,000,000). L.A.I.F. offers high liquidity
as deposits and withdrawals can be wired to and from South San Francisco on the same day,
provided the request is made before 10:00 A.M. No maximum limit for LAIF is set by this
investment policy.
THE SAN MATEO COUNTY INVESTMENT FUND established for the benefit of local
agencies, is a pooled fund managed by the San Mateo County Treasurer. Various county monies
due local agencies are deposited in the fund rather than forwarded to the local agencies in check
form.
MUTUAL FUNDS are shares of beneficial interest issued by diversified management
companies, as defined by Section 23701 M of the Revenue and Taxation Code. To be eligible
for investment, these funds must strive to maintain a net asset value of $1.00 per share at all
times and:
a) Attain the highest ranking in the highest letter and numerical rating provided by not
less than two of the three largest nationally recognized rating services; or
b)
Have an investment advisor registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission with not less than five years experience investing in the securities and
obligations, and with assets under management in excess of five hundred million
dollars; and
c)
Invest solely in those securities, and obligations authorized by Sections 53601 and
53635 of the California Government Code. Where the City's Investment Policy
may be more restrictive than the State Code, the Policy authorizes investments in
mutual funds that shall have minimal investment in securities otherwise restricted
by the City's Policy. Minimal investment is defined as less than 5 percent of the
mutual fund portfolio.
Mutual fund investments shall not exceed 20% of the portfolio, with no more than 10% of the portfolio
invested with any one institution.
MEDIUM-TERM NOTES issued by corporations organized and operating within the United
States or by depository institutions licensed by the United States or any state and operating
within the United States. Notes eligible for investment under this subdivision shall be rated in a
rating category of "A" or its equivalent or better by a nationally recognized rating service
(Standard and Poors or Moody' s). Purchases of medium-term notes may not exceed 10 percent
of the agency' s surplus money nor to be invested for longer than five years. No more than $2.0
million may be invested in a single issuer corporation.

-3-
deposits, or interest-bearing active deposits. The deposits in any institution cannot exceed the amount
of the bank's or savings and loan's paid up capital and surplus.
The bank, savings and loan, or federal credit union must secure the active and inactive deposits with
eligible government securities having a market value of at least 110% of the total amount of the
deposits.
QUALIFIED DEALERS AND INSTITUTIONS
Except for transactions with the State and County investment pools, the City shall transact
investment business only with banks, savings and loans, and with investment securities dealers as
defined in Government Code Section 53601.5:
"The purchase by a local agency of any investment authorized pursuant to Section
53601 or 53601.1, not purchased directly from the issuer, shall be purchased either
from an institution licensed by the state as a broker-dealer, as defined in Section
25004 of the Corporations Code, or from a member of a federally regulated
securities exchange, from a national or state-chartered bank, from a federal or state
association (as defined by Section 5102 of the Financial Code) or from a brokerage
firm designated as a primary government dealer by the Federal Reserve bank."
The City Treasurer shall investigate institutions that wish to do business with the City in order to
determine if they are adequately capitalized, make markets in securities appropriate to the City's needs.
Specifically, in order to achieve these objectives:
The Treasurer shall establish a list of qualified securities dealers, and shall obtain a certification submitted
by all financial institutions with which the City has an investment relationship on an annual basis. The
certification shall state that the institution has reviewed the City's investment management plan and that it
will:
Exercise due diligence in monitoring the activities of its officers and employees engaged in
transactions with the City.
Ensure that all of its officers and employees offering investments to the City are trained in
the precautions appropriate to public sector investments.
In order to be qualified for use by the City, a qualifying institution must have:
a)
At least three years experience operating with California municipalities. In addition,
individual traders or agents representing a dealer must have a minimum of one year
of experience operating with California municipalities;
b) An inventory of trading securities of at least $10 million.
SAFEKEEPING AND CUSTODY OF SECURITIES
To protect against potential losses caused by the collapse of individual securities dealers, all securities
owned by the City, except for investments with LAIF, the San Mateo County Investment Pool,
-4-
Repurchase Agreements, CD' s, mutual funds as authorized in this Policy, or Commercial Paper with
maturities of ten days or less shall be kept in safekeeping by a trust department of a third party bank
acting as agent for the City under the terms of a custody agreement executed by the bank and by the
City. These funds will be held in the City's name. All trades will be executed by delivery vs. payment
(DVP). This ensures that securities are deposited to the third party safekeeper prior to release of the
City' s funds to the broker, for a purchase, and ensures that cash is deposited with the sakekeeper prior to
release of the City's security for a sale. The one exception is for the existing Wells Fargo investment
account, which is held by the safekeeping department of Wells Fargo Bank. No additional dollars shall
be invested in this account unless it is transferred to a third party safekeeping bank.
COMPETITIVE PURCHASE AND SALE OF ALLOWED SECURITIES
Except for purchases in LAIF, the County Pool, or with a Mutual Fund otherwise authorized in this
policy, any purchase or sale of individual securities shall be made after soliciting at least three quotes
from authorized brokers, either verbally or in writing. The Treasurer shall make the purchase or sale
from the broker that offers the highest yield. In the case of a tie of two or more brokers, the Treasurer
shall select by his/her choice. The Treasurer shall maintain documentation relating to investment quotes
for six months. In cases of investing in new issues of Government securities, where par prices are the
same with all brokers, the Treasurer shall use his/her discretion with whom to make the investment.
COLLATERALIZATION
Collateralization is required on two types of investments: certificates of deposit of over $100,000
(CD' s) and repurchase agreements (Repos). The collateralization level must be at least 102% for Repos
and 1t0% for CD's.
ETHICS AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
There is a yearly mandated Form 700 issued by the state of California whereby all elected officials,
including the City Treasurer, must disclose all personal assets such as stocks, bonds, properties,
business entities, etc., in which said officials may be involved and which could create a conflict of
interest with the proper execution of their offices or impair their ability to make impartial decisions.
INTERNAL CONTROLS
The Treasurer and the Finance Director are responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal
control structure designed to ensure that the assets of the entity are protected from loss, theft, or misuse.
The internal control of the structure shall be designed to provide reasonable assurance that these
objectives are met.
The Director of Finance shall establish a process for an annual independent review by an external
auditor to assure compliance with policies and procedures. The auditor shall meet with the City
Treasurer and propose possible needed changes to the investment policy and/or comment on the
diversification of the portfolio.
-5-
Management responsibility for the investment program is delegated to the elected City Treasurer who
shall be responsible for all investment transactions. The Deputy City Treasurer, appointed by the City
Treasurer, acts at the discretion and direction of the City Treasurer.
The City shall establish an investment oversight committee. The committee shall consist of the City
Treasurer, the City Manager, the Finance Director, and the Assistant Finance Director as his alternate,
and an outside investment advisor with which the City does not do business. The purpose of the
committee is to:
· Review the portfolio on a quarterly basis to ensure compliance with the City's
investment policy and the requirements of the State of California.
Make recommendations to Council to change the investment policy where appropriate.
Meet as needed to review the investment portfolio as a result of changes in the
marketplace or the economic position of any company or agency that affects the City' s
investments.
City Treasurer and Finance Director shall monitor ratings on Medium Term Notes on a monthly basis.
The City Treasurer will report on any recommendations and/or actions taken by the investment
oversight committee in his/her quarterly reports to the City Council.
REPORTING
The Treasurer shall present to the City Council a quarterly report showing the types of investments,
institutions of investment, dates of maturity, amounts of deposit, current market value for all securities,
rates of interest, and such data as may be required by the City Council. The State of California will be
supplied with yearly reports per the State Code.
WIRE TRANSFER CONFIRMATIONS
Due to the need to preserve segregation of duties and checks and balances, all non-recurring,
outgoing wire transactions initiated by the City Treasurer or a Deputy Treasurer appointed by the
City Treasurer shall be confirmed by the bank with a second person, either a Deputy Treasurer or
within the Finance Department, prior to the completion of that wire transfer. Recurring/repetitive
wire transactions, such as with LAIF, the County Investment Pool, or to meet regular debt service
payments, may be exempted provided that a list of recurring wire transfers is established with the
bank and that both the City Treasurer and the Finance Director approve the list.
POLICY REVIEW
This investment policy shall be reviewed annually to ensure its consistency with the overall objectives
of safety of principal, liquidity, and yield. The policy should also be relevant to current law, financial
and economic trends, and should meet the needs of the City of South San Francisco.

Mr. Dennis Chuck, P.E.
Senior Civil Engineer
City of South San Francisco
315 Maple Avenue
South San Francisco, CA 94080
SUBJECT: AIRPORT BOULEVARD ARTERIAL OPERATIONS ANALYSIS
Dear Dennis:
Korve Engineering, Inc. (KORVE) is pleased to submit this revised scope of work and budget
to prepare a traffic study to identify means of improving the operations of key intersections
on Airport Boulevard between San Mateo Avenue and Sister Cities Boulevard / Oyster Point
Boulevard with special emphasis on the Grand Avenue intersection. As part of KORVE's
analysis associated with the relocation of the South San Francisco Caltrain station the Grand
Avenue / Airport Boulevard intersection was observed to face significant operational
difficulties. In particular, our observations and analysis showed long queues and delays now
and with forecasted future traffic volumes.
SCOPE OF WORK
Task 1: Project Initiation
As soon as KORVE is given a notice to proceed with the study, we will initiate a meeting with
City staff to discuss the project in detail and refine the scope of work. As part of this process
we will require timing data for all traffic signals controlled by the City and information on any
proposed or anticipated projects that may alter the behavior of traffic on Airport Boulevard.
Both existing traffic data and outstanding data needs for study intersections would be
identified at this time.
Task 2: Data Collection
Based on the data needs identified during the project initiation phase KORVE would collect
the necessary data to conduct an arterial progression analysis for Airport Boulevard. This
would include AM and PM peak hour intersection turning movement volumes at the following
six study intersections:
Airport Boulevard / San Mateo Avenue;
Airport Boulevard f Baden Avenue;
Airport Boulevard Grand Avenue;
Airport Boulevard Miller Avenue;
Airport Boulevard Linden Avenue; and
Airport Boulevard / Sister Cities Boulevard / Oyster Point Boulevard.
Mr. Dennis Chuck
February 6, 2004
Page 2
Since trucks play a major role in operations of the key intersections on Airport Boulevard,
separate counts of truck volumes will be performed simultaneously with the overall vehicular
turning movement counts. Additionally, we will make field measurements of relevant
geometric data such as length of turn lanes and intersection spacing. Observations of
queue lengths and travel times will be recorded for purposes of calibrating the model.
Task 3: Development of Arterial Analysis Model
Using the data collected in Task 2, we will expand the network analysis and simulation model
that was developed for the South San Francisco Station study to include the study
intersections on Airport Boulevard. The existing model includes the Airport Boulevard /
Grand Avenue intersection and four intersections east of the freeway. The model was
created using the Synchro software which allows for arterial progression and queuing
analysis as well as intersection level of service analysis. Both existing (year 2003) and year
2010 scenarios will be modeled. The model results for the existing scenario will be
compared to field observations to validate and possibly adjust the model.
The analysis of the study intersections will use the methodology and criteria of the
Transportation Research Board's 2000 Highway Capacity. Unless otherwise requested by
City staff, default values will be used for items such as saturation flow rates, approach types,
truck percentages, and lane utilization factors. The resulting level of service and average
vehicular delay for AM and PM peak hour conditions at each study intersection will be
presented in a tabular format. In addition to the typical numeric measures of effectiveness
(delay, LOS, etc.), Synchro will be used to generate animations of simulated traffic operation
for presentation purposes.
Task 4: Evaluate Alternative Improvements
Based on the results of the Arterial analysis we will identify and evaluate potential measures
for improving the operational performance of Airport Boulevard. These may range from
signal timing and interconnect modifications to the addition of turn lanes or reconfiguration of
intersections. Each alternative will be evaluated using the Synchro model to determine its
overall effectiveness for existing and future scenarios. Animated simulations of each
alternative will be prepared for presentation to City staff.
The feasibility of a traffic circle or roundabout at the Airport Boulevard / Grand Avenue
intersection will be evaluated in addition to the alternatives that incorporate traditional signal
controlled intersection operations at this location. In addition to the effects on traffic
operations this will address geometric constraints imposed by existing buildings and
structures adjacent to the intersection.
Task 5: Draft Report
KORVE will produce a draft report summarizing the data and analysis results. The relative
benefit of the alternative improvements will be documented and recommendations will be
made with regards to preferred alternatives. The draft report will be submitted to the City for
Mr. Dennis Chuck
February 6, 2004
Page 3
review. KORVE will also meet with City staff to present the analysis simulation and discuss
the alternatives.
Task 6: Final Report
Based on discussions at the presentation of alternatives and comments received on the draft
report, KORVE will make the necessary revisions and prepare and submit a final report
summarizing the analysis and recommendations. Submission of the final report would
include a meeting with City staff to present the alternative simulations
Task 7: Meetings
Four meetings are included as part of this scope of work and budget. The first would be the
project initiation meeting with City staff to discuss the study and its assumptions. The
second meeting would be held upon submitting the draft report and would be used to present
the simulation of the alternatives. The third meeting will be held with City staff after
submission of the final report and would include review of the final alternative simulations.
KORVE would be available for a fourth meeting to present the simulation results at one City
council or public meeting as needed.
Task 8: Additional Services
Any tasks not specifically delineated in the Scope of Services presented above -- for
example additional data collection, additional meetings, public hearings, engineering design,
parking studies, or additional analysis -- shall be considered additional services and require
a contract amendment. Any additional services requested by the client will be carried out by
KORVE upon receipt of a written request or signed contract amendment.
PROPOSED BUDGET
We have identified the total cost of the above scope of work as approximately $29,505. This
includes $3,000 in direct costs and $26,505 in labor. A spreadsheet is attached illustrating
our proposed labor and cost breakdown for each task. If the study area is expanded or
existing data is available, this budget would be adjusted accordingly.
Please do not hesitate to call if you have any questions (510-622-6644).
Sincerely,
KORVE ENGINEERING, INC.

PETITIONS TO ANNEX INTO PARKING DISTRICT 1 - BORBA
PROPERTIES AND CITY OF SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, 178-214
AIRPORT BOULEVARD
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council accept the recommendation of the Parking Place
Commission and, by motion, grant the petitions for annexation.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
Last December the City Council authorized the purchase of 0.5-acre parcel along the westerly side of
Airport Boulevard, at the terminus of Baden Avenue (APN #012-338-060/070) with the intention of
developing the site in the near term for a parking lot. The lot is being purchased with Parking District
funds which requires that the property be annexed to the District. In addition, a petition has been
submitted by the Borbas, owners of the adjacent parcels along Airport (APN #012-338-
010/020/030/040/050), to annex their properties into the District since there is to be a temporary public
parking lot on the City site. Both of these sites are contiguous to the existing District boundaries.
The necessary steps for expanding the Parking District are as follow:
1. Owner files a petition with the City Council.
2. Council accepts the petition and recommends an annexation fee (if any) to be paid by the
property owner seeking inclusion.
3. City Council forwards petition and fee (if required) to Parking Place Commission for
Commission's review and determination.
4. Parking Place Commission approves or denies the petition, and approves or denies City
Council's recommendation regarding any annexation fee.
5. After approval by the Commission, the City Council may grant the petition.
Staff Report
Subject: Parking District Annexation Petitions
Page 2
6. Property is then added to the District when the annexation fee, if any, is paid.
The City Council accepted the petitions at its March 24, 2004 meeting, recommended no annexation fee
be assessed and forwarded the matter to the Parking Place Commission for consideration. The Parking
Place Commission approved the petitions at its May 11, 2004 meeting and now recommends that the
City Council grant the petitions for annexation.
CONCLUSION
Staff recommends that the City Council accept the recommendation of the Parking Place Commission
and grant the petitions.

REQUESTING INCLUSION INTO SOUTH
SAN FRANCISCO PARKING DISTRICT
Dear Council Members:
We, the undersigned, as owners of the five pan:els known 196,200, 206,210, and 214
AirportBlvd, request these properties be included the Parking District #1 in the City of
South San Francisco.
The reason for this request is that we are in the process of leasing two buildings located at
200 and 206 Airport Blvd. to a new.tenant. According to current parking regulations it is
our understanding that the above properties do not have the proper mount of parking
spaces to conform to code. It is also our understanding that by being included in the
Parking District our tenants will be allowed to purchase the additional necessary parking
permits on a monthly basis.
Your prompt attention to the matter would be greatly appreciated.

MASTER FEE SCHEDULE REVISIONS FOR 2004-05
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution modifying certain sections of the
Master Fee Schedule for the 2004-05 fiscal year.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
Annually, staff reviews existing fees and charges as part of the budget development process. The
following modifications to the Master Fee Schedule are recommended to cover increased or previously
unidentified areas of costs to the City, and to eliminate discontinued fees.
Fire Department
Please see Exhibit A for a complete list. Several new fees are proposed.
Exhibits B, C, D and E document the calculations supporting the new fees for the Critical Care
Transport Base Rate, Ambulance Dispatch Fee, and 12 Lead EKG Interpretation Fee, and the change in
reimbursement rate for Disposable Supplies.
Police
Under Miscellaneous Fees
"Towed Vehicle Release, Negligent Operator" - set at $50.00 in 1995, to be increased to $75.00.
"Clearance Letter" -- $10.00, a new fee. The INS and potential employers require applicants to obtain
clearance letters from police departments in cities of current and prior residence. These letters state that
a record check has been conducted and the SSFPD has no arrest record for the applicant.
"Live Scan Fingerprinting" -- $18.00 plus applicable agency charges, a new fee. New fingerprinting
equipment will allow electronic transmission of fingerprints to the Department of Justice and FBI. The
Department of Justice allows an $18.00 fee to be charged for operator costs, in addition to agency fees
(which are already collected and paid).

Exhibit B
CRITICAL CARE TRANSFER BASE RATE
CALCULATION WORKSHEET
FY 04-05
The critical care transfer base rate is fee is intended to recover the increased costs
associated with inter-facility transfer of a critically ill or injured person from a
receiving hospital to a regional treatment facility. These transfers are rare (less than
10 per year) and most commonly occur between Kaiser South San Francisco and
regional treatment centers (Seton Medical Center, San Francisco General Hospital,
etc.). These regional treatment centers are the only hospitals approved to provide
certain types of specialized care (coronary artery bypass surgery, advanced trauma
life support, etc.) This service is usually provided by the San Mateo County pre-
hospital ambulance provider (American Medical Response). When they have no
ambulances available to provide this service, SSFFD is asked to provide the service
on a compassionate basis. In addition to the base rate other costs would also apply
(mileage, oxygen use, etc.).
Given:
The following calculations were developed to identify the direct cost of SSF Fire
Department ambulances providing this service. The direct costs describe the salaries
and benefits coupled with the materials and services expenses associated with the
critical care transfer. The indirect costs describe the capital outlay for the purchase of
specialized diagnostic and treatment equipment. Indirect costs also describe the debt
service for the purchase and furore replacement of the ambulance.
Direct-cost to provide associated with a critical care transfer
· Salaries and benefits of two (2) paramedic/FF's $1,008
· Materials and services (medical supplies, etc.) $155

FY 04-05
The 12 lead EKG interpretation fee is intended to recover costs associated with
equipment purchase, maintenance and replacement. This fee also represents efforts to
recover costs for paramedic/FF training and continuing education
Given:
The following calculations were developed to identify the direct cost of performing
12 lead EKG interpretation in the pre-hospital setting The indirect costs describe
costs for the maintenance and replacement of required equipment and training.
