AGENDA ITEM #4
DATE: January i2, 2005
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Susan Kennedy, Assistant to the City Manager
SUBJECT:
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE SUBMITTAL OF AN APPLICATION
TO THE BAY AREA AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT DISTRICT
(BAAQMD) FOR FUNDS TO REDUCE EMISSIONS FROM SOLID
WASTE COLLECTION VEHICLES
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve a resolution authorizing the City to submit an
application to the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) for $44,100 to
reduce emissions from four (4) South San Francisco Scavenger Company Solid Waste
Collection Vehicles (SWCV).
BACKGROUND/DISCUS SION
On October 20, 2004, the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (Air District) Board of
Directors approved the allocation of $1,533,216 in Transportation Fund for Clean Air (TFCA)
Regional Funds to provide incentives to reduce emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) from heavy duty
solid waste collection vehicles that are subject to the California Air Resources Board SWCV
regulation. This regulation requires SWCV fleets to reduce emissions of particulate matter.
All incentive applications must be submitted to the Air District by public agencies located within the
boundaries of the Air District. A public agency may apply for incentive funds on behalf of a private
SWCV fleet if the public agency has a franchise agreement with the owner/operator of that SWCV
fleet to provide solid waste collection within its jurisdiction.
The public agency assumes numerous responsibilities: To serve as the formal project applicant. To
submit a Resolution adopted by its governing board (i.e. City Council). To enter into an incentive
funding agreement with the Air District. To transmit the incentive funds to the private SWCV fleet.
To ensure that the SWCV fleet complies with the contractual terms of the incentive funding
agreement. To monitor the operational status of the equipment that is purchased with Air District
incentive funds, and to report any change in operational status within 30 calendar days.
StaffReport
Subject: (Request for BAAQMD Funding)
Page 2
The Ak District will evaluate the applications and issue an award letter and incentive letter (if funds
are available) within 15 days of receipt of application. The application was submitted on December
15, 2004 and to complete the process, a Council resolution must be forwarded by January 15, 2005.
CONCLUSION
Successful application for and receipt of this funding will allow South San Francisco Scavenger to
retrofit four of its existing SWCVs with the Cleaire Longview device that is designed to reduce
Particulate Matter by 85% and Nitrogen Oxide emissions by 25%. This is an important step toward
reducing harmful emissions affecting our region overall.
FUNDING
The City of South San Francisco serving as the Project Sponsor will submit invoices to the BAAQMD
for reimbursement of the cost of retrofitting the four vehicles in the South San Francisco Scavenger
fleet identified in the initial application. The cost of retrofitting each vehicle is $10,500 for a total of
$42,000. This funding will then be passed on to the Scavenger Company to cover their expenses for
the retrofit as the work is completed. The City is eligible for up to $2,100 in Administrative costs to
serve as the monitoring agency for this project, making the total request $44,100. There is no
ongoing financial obligation for the City in approving this project.

FROM
Conference Center Executive Director
RE
Appropriation of $80,000 to the Conference Center Authority
FY 2004-05 Capital Improvement Budget
RECOMMENDATION
The Conference Center Authority recommends that the City Council appropriate $80,000
to the capital improvement budget from the unrestricted fund balance to fund complete
replacement of the water main servicing the Conference Center.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
Shortly before Thanksgiving, the Center's primary water main ruptured necessitating an
emergency repair. Since the main ruptured two additional times during the repair, is
approximately 50 years old, and has lost its strength, the Conference Center Authority
recommends a complete replacement of the remaining water main to prevent future
ruptures and potential impact to the Center's business. Since this recent rupture happened
when it did (the week of a major holiday), the Center was extremely fortunate that no
business was disrupted; however, in the future, this may not be the case. The work will
take approximately one week and will be scheduled in early January before business picks
up again.
The $80,000 will cover costs associated with engineering, plan check/permitting, the actual
replacement, and the emergency repair. As these funds were not budgeted, this
appropriation requires the Council's approval. The Conference Center Authority approved
the recommendation during its December 16, 2004, meeting. If l may provide the Council
with any additional information about this recommendation, please let me know.

FROM: Jim Steele, Finance Director
SUBJECT: AMENDMENT TO THE CITY OF SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO'S CONTRACT
WITH THE COUNTY FOR ANIMAL CONTROL SERVCES
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution executing an Amendment to the
Agreement with San Mateo County for the provision of Animal Control Services,
increasing the contract term for an additional two years, through June 30, 2008.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
The County has contracted with the Peninsula Humane Society (PHS) for Animal Control Services
"' UI LII~
to ail crees and the umncorporatea areas of the County for over 45 years. The twenty cities
County have historically contracted with the County for Animal Control Services. On June 17, 2003,
the Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution approving an Agreement with PHS for shelter and
field Animal Control Services for the entire County, and approving an Agreement with the twenty
cities of the County to provide Animal Control Services. Both Agreements are currently three-year
contracts scheduled to terminate June 30, 2006· The County has leased the land occupied by PHS
since 1971 for the rate of $1 (one dollar) per year. The current lease terminates August 12, 2006.
The County negotiation team included Marcia Raines, the Director of Environmental Services, along
with Arne Croce, the City Manager of San Mateo. After numerous discussions with member cities
(including representatives from Police, Finance, and City Manager' s Departments across those cities)
the negotiating team is proposing to extend the Animal Control Services contract with PHS for an
additional two years through June 30, 2008. The PHS/County amendment also extends the land
lease with PHS through June 30, 2008, as having the lease expire at the same time as the operating
agreement provides consistency.
As part of the discussions between the County and cities, the County has negotiated the remaining
ceilings on payments to PHS so that the average cost increase over the life of the agreement will be
3.3% annually. The new payment schedule is shown on page 2 of the amendment (attached).

The contract Amendment also requires PHS to provide investigation of all animal bites (rabies
quarantines) that occur in the County. PHS will provide this service for an additional $75,000 for the
remainder of FY 2004-05, $150,000 for FY 2005-06, $154,500 for FY 2006-07, and $159,135 for
FY 2007-08, and provide the service under the direction of the County Health Officer. The payment
for the quarantine services will be solely through the County Health Department, and cities will see
no charge for these services and no interruption in services. This provision for bite investigations
will therefore be an improvement of service to cities with no increase in cost.
While there have been disagreements in the past between the cities/County and PHS over the cost of
the relatively high level of animal care that PHS provides, independent cost studies have suggested
that PHS does provide for a cost effective animal control service overall, compared to the costs that
the cities or the County would likely incur in providing the services themselves. Staff therefore
concurs with the County's amendment changes and recommends that they be approved by
Resolution.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This contract amendment will not impact the City's budget, as the full costs of animal control
services for 2004-05 have been budgeted by the City already.

AUTHORIZATION TO EXECUTE CONTRACT FOR ENVIRONMENTAL
SERVICES - 249 EAST GRAND AVENUE OFFICE/R&D PROJECT
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing the City
Manager to execute a contract with Lamphier-Gregory to prepare an Environmental Impact
Report (EIR) for the 249 East Grand Avenue Office/R&D Project (formerly Georgia-Pacific).
BACKGROUND/DIS CUS SION
Alexandria Real Estate Equities has submitted a preliminary application to redevelop the 15.75-acre
former Georgia-Pacific site at 249 East Grand into an office/research and development campus. The
proposed project consists of four office/R&D buildings totaling approximately 500,000 sq. ft., and a
4-level, 1,227 space parking structure. The existing large warehouse that occupies a majority of the
site and all other site improvements would be demolished and replaced by the proposed office/R&D
buildings and garage.
Staff has determined that an EIR is required for the proposed project. The EIR will address
aesthetics/visual quality, air quality, geology and soils, hydrology and water quality, hazards and
hazardous materials, land use planning, noise, public services/utilities, traffic and circulation, and
project alternatives.
Staff distributed a "Request for Proposal" to three environmental fmus: Lamphier-Gregory,
Morehouse Associates and Impact Sciences. All three firms have strong qualifications and
experience and are well known and regarded by staff. There was a wide range in the costs as shown
below:
Morehouse Associates
Lamphier-Gregory
Impact Sciences
$ 84,545.00
$112,340.00
$206,775.00
Staff recommends awarding the contract to Lamphier-Gregory. Although Morehouse Associates'
bid appears to be significantly lower than Lamphier-Gregory' s, the scope of work did not include all

Dear Ms. I~dkm,
In response to your Request for Proposal dated December 6, 2004, I am
transmitting to you our proposed Scope of Work and estimated budget
related to the preparation of a ,,£ocused,, Environmental Impact ReP°ri for
· the 249 East Grand Avenue Office/R&D Proiect.
ENVIRONS4 ENTAL
As we understmd it, the Project as currently proposed would result in the demolition of the existing
warehouse at the 15.75-acre site, and the development of four office buildings of up to four stories
in height totaling approximately 500,000 square feet and a four-level parking structure promding
1,227 p~rking spaces (an additional 188 parking spaces would be provided outdoors at the site).
Development of the Project site as proposed would require a use permit From the City of South San
Francisco.
Given the size of the proposed development and the screening criteri~ provided by the Bay Area Air
Quality Management District in their CEQA Guidelines, we believe that the Proiect can be expected
to have significant and unavoidable adverse effects on regional are quality, and that an EIR is the
appropriate environmental review document to be used in this instance under CEQA. Based on our
understanding of the Proiect as currently proposed, we believe that key issues to be addressed in the
EIR are those related to land use and planning, traffic and circulation, noise, aesthetic/visual
impacts, air qualitx~, hazards and hazardous materials, and public services/utilities.
Joa~ Lamphier, President of Lamphier-Gregory, will act as Project Director, and John Courtney,
Senior PLarmer at Lamphier-Gregory, will set,re as Proiect Manager for the 249 East Grand Avenue
Office/R&D Proiect EIR. Other members of the consultant team are Crane Transportation Group
(Mark Crane, principal) for the evaluation of circulation and parking impacts associated with the
Proiect, and Questa Engineering Corporation (lefFrey Peters, Principal-in-Charge) for the evaluation
of hydrology and water quality, geology and soils, and hazards and hazardous materials.
We look forward to working with you on this challenging proiect. Although the proposed scope and
budget reflects the level of technical analysis that we believe is appropriate, we are willing to discuss
possible modifications to the proposed scope and budget that might better meet the City's needs. If
I can provide additional information related to our proposed Scope of Work, contact me at 510-535-
6690.

Public Services/Utilities - Lamphier-Gregory will address any Project-related impacts on the
provision of police and fire protection, public schools, parks and recreational facilities, water
supply, wastewater collection/treatment, storm drainage and solid waste collection/&sposal.
Traffic and Circulation - The traffic analysis for the proposed Project will be conducted by
Crane Transportation Group. The following circulation scope of services was developed in
consultation with Susy Kdtrin and Denni.q Chuck o£ the City of South San Francisco.
Input/data requests and assumptions agreed to by City stuff have been used to develop
scope as follows:
· Full Project development and occupancy will occur in 2009.
Seventeen intersections (to be identified by the City) will need to be evaluated for 2009
and 2020 A_M and PM peak hour with and without project con&dons. This will mclude
evaluation of three mterchanges with the U.S. 101 freeway.
New _h_M and PM peak period traffic counts will be required at six mtersecfions (to be
identified by the City). New traffic counts recently obtained for the Terrabay Phase 3
Supplemental EIR Coy Crane Transportation Group) will be used for the Oyster Pont
mterchange.
Year 2009 and 2020 analyses will need to mcorporate traffic volumes at the Oyster Pont
mterchange reflectmg the recently proposed Ter~abay Phase 3 retail/movie
theater/office/residential development as well as the newly proposed Baylands
development in the City of Brisbane. These two adjustments are being conducted as part
of the Terrabay Phase 3 Supplemental EIR ADMJN DRAFT traffic study (to be
-completed in about two and a half months).'
Available Year 2020 traffic modelmg for the East of 101 area xxfill be assumed reliable for
all locations evaluated with the exception of the Oyster Pont interchange. This modelmg
mcludes the cm_~ently proposed 249 East Grand Project.
Near-term horizon (2009) traffic projections will be obtained from the Britanni~ East
Grand EIR traffic analysis. The neap=term horizon year used in this smd will now be
assumed reflective of 2009 conditions. Year 2009 near-term horizon con&tions at the
Oyster Pont mterchange will be obt.~ined from the ongomg Terrabay Phase 3
Supplemental ELR. Near-term operating con&dons at other locations along Oyster Pont
Boulevard will be obtained from the recent 333 Oyster Pont Boulevard ELK.
Evaluation will be 'required of the U.S. 101 freeway in South San Francisco for all
malysis conditions. Volumes will be obtamed from existing sm&es. New freeway counts
have also been conducted near the Oyster Pont mterchange as part of the Terrabay
Phase 3 ELK.

prepared. 'L~mphier-Gregory will deliver sixty (60) printed copies and a CD tothe City. _Additional
copies of the Draft F~IR can be supplied on an at-cost basis.
Task 6: Response to Comments (FINAL EIR)
Lamphier-Crregory will respond to all comments received d~ring the public review period on the
DEIR. These responses, and any changes required m the Draft EIR, will be mcorporated in the
Admini~qtrarive Fmal El_R, with five (5) copies of that docmment to be submitted to City staff .for
review. After incozn0orating any necessary modifications identified by City staff, Lamphier-Gregory
will deliver slaty (60) copies and a CID of the Fmal EIR ro the City.
Task 7: .Meetings

the plnnning Commission, and one (1) City Council meeting. If additional meetings are necessary,
the Proiect Manager would be available to attend on a me-md-materials basis.
II. SCHEDULE
We are ready to begin work on the EIR at once. We will deliver an Initial Study withi~ two weeks
following the start-up meeting, and the Administrative Draft EIR within 8 weeks following the close
of the 30-day review period for the Notice of Preparation. Over a two-week period, City staff would
review the Administrative Draft El_IL and forward any necessary revisions to Lamphier-Gregory..
Over the following weelg we will make the required modifications and prepare the public review

At the conclusion of the public review pe~5od, we will evaluate all comments received on the Draft
EIP~, prepare responses to those comments, m~ke any modit:ications to the document which may be
indicated and prepare the Administrative Final ElK. This task would be completed on z time-and-
matehals basis, and it is anticipated that the preparation of the responses and the Admini.qtrative
version of the Final ElK would take approximately three weeks.
Over a two-week period, City staff would review the Administrative Final' EIR and forward any
necessa~T revisions to Lamphier-Gregory. Daring the following week, we will make any necessary
modifications and prepare the Final ELK.
III. BUDGET '
Work on the EIR would be performed on a time-and-mat~s basis, with the'following cost
estimate for each task identified in the Scope of Work above.
Although it is difficult to anticipate all potential issues that may ultimately need to be addressed in
the ]ELK, the total estimated budget for the Scope of Work outlined above, through certification of
the Final El]L, is $112,340. It is not possible to predict the level of public response to the Draft EIIL,
or the level of effort which wiil be required m responding to City staff comments On
AIDMINISTILATIVE DRAFT doc~ments. This estimated budget is based on ass/gnmg 96 hours
and 32 hours of Project Manager time for each of these tasks, respectively.
Although the estimated budget includes the cost o£ printing the doo~ments, it is assumed that the
City. of South San Francisco will be fully responsible for all noticing of heah~gs and doo~ment
clistribudon, and that City staff will prepare and distribute all notices associated with this project. It
is also assumed that City staff will be responsible for the preparation of all staff reports and the
mitigation monitoring program.
IV. STAFFING
'The work will be completed by the Project Manager, John Courmey (Senior Planner), and reviewed
by the Project Director, Joan Lamphier, President o£ L~mphier-Oregory. The Project M~nager will
be responsible for coordination with the City and the Proiect Applicant, and attendance at all
meetings and public he, rings. Other Lamphier-GregmT staff members may assist in the preparation
of the environmental documentation.
Mark Crane, Principal, Crane Transportation Group, .will be responsible for conducting the
circulation and p~rking analysis for the Draft ElK. Jeff Peters, Princip~ Questa Engineering
Corporation, would lead that firm's efforts in preps_ring the ElK chapters on geology and soils,
hydrology and water quality, and hazards and hazardous materials.

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to
accept $1,932,900 in Federal Surface Transportation Funds from the Metropolitan
Transportation Commission's Transportation for Livable Communities Program to be
allocated toward construction of a segment of the BART Linear Park.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The City of South San Francisco has successfully been awarded $1,932,900, in Federal Surface
Transportation Funds, through a competitive grant process, from the Metropolitan Transportation
Commission's Transportation for Livable Communities Program to be allocated toward construction
of the BART Linear Park. This project will design and construct a linear park along the BART
alignment between Huntington Avenue and Orange Avenue. The work includes construction of a
multi-use path, landscaping, irrigation, electrical facilities, and installation of a pedestrian traffic
signal at Spruce Avenue.
The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) is expected to issue final approval of the
funding by the end of January 2005. To complete the process, MTC requires a resolution from the
sponsoring agency stating the following conditions: 1) the commitment of necessary local matching
funds of at least 11.5%; 2) that the sponsor understands that the federal funding through the TLC
program is fixed at the programmed amount, and therefore any cost increase cannot be expected to be
funded through the TLC program; 3) the assurance of the sponsor to complete the project as

ADDITION TO THE MASTER FEE SCHEDULE
FOR THE STORAGE OF FIREARMS
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that City Council adopt a resolution amending the Master Fee schedule to add
a fee for the storage of firearms.
BACKGROUND/DISCUS SION
The state recently enacted Penal Code Section 12021.3 (j)(1) that allows law enforcement agencies to
impose a charge equal to its administrative costs relating to the seizure, impounding, storage or release
of firearms. The imposed fee cannot exceed the "actual costs" incurred fi:om the time we take
possession of the firearm through the release of the firearm back to the owner or to a licensed firearms
dealer.
Typically, the Police Department would take possession of a firearm fi:om:
A mentally imbalanced person who has threatened to take his/her life or that of another person.
· A suspect in a domestic violence case.
· A suspect in a criminal act.
In these incidents, the court allows us to remove the firearm(s) from the individual. The court
determines the final disposition of the firearm.
A cost base for the storage of firearms has been computed in conformance with the new legislation. Our
administrative costs would be $125.00 for a single firearm and $79.00 for each additional weapon.
Anticipated annual revenue would be from $2,000 to $3,000.
