REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING OCTOBER 22, 2003
AGENDA PAGE 3
StaffReport
DATE: October 22, 2003
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Director of Recreation and Community Services
SUBJECT: Request for Authorization to Apply for Block Grant and Per Capita Grant
Program Funds
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to file
an application and execute an agreement for local assistance funds ($165,179) from the Roberti-
Z'Berg-Harris Block Grant Program under the California Clean Water, Clean Air, Safe
Neighborhood Parks, and Coastal Protection Act of 2002.
It is also recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to
file an application and execute an agreement for local assistance funds ($268,000) from the Per
Capita Grant Program under the California Clean Water, Clean Air, Safe Neighborhood Parks,
and Coastal Protection Act of 2002.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
In 2002 the voters of California approved Proposition 40 - the Clean Water, Clean Air, Safe
Neighborhood Parks, and Coastal Protection Act of 2002. As a result, cities throughout California have
the opportunity to receive non-competitive grant funding for park and recreation capital improvement
projects, as well as to apply for competitive grant funds.
The resolutions recommended for approval in this report address the two non-competitive components
of the bond act, the Block Grant and Per Capita Programs. These allocations are based upon population
and urban density criteria. South San Francisco is eligible to receive $433,179. The procedural
guidelines for how the bond act funds are to be allocated and administered were recently finalized,
allowing the city to begin the process of applying for the funds. The first step is for the City Council to
authorize the City Manager to enter into two contracts with the state. These contracts encumber the
funds without committing to a specific project, to assure the state that the city intends to use the money.
Failure to obtain the contracts by June 30, 2006, would result in the funds reverting to the legislature.
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
Date: October 22, 2003
Subject: Request for Authorization for Block Grant and Per Capita Grant Program Funds
Page 2
The next step will be for the city to identify one or more eligible parks and recreation projects, and
receive approval from the State to proceed. Once approved, and a project is underway, funding may be
requested as progress payments, or as reimbursement for a fully completed project as long as it is
constructed and all paperwork submitted by June 30, 2011. In general, projects eligible for funding
under the Block Grant Program include acquisition of open space, sites, and structures; development and
rehabilitation of parks and facilities; special major maintenance items; and innovative recreation
programs. Projects eligible for funding under the Per Capita Program must be capital projects that
include acquisition or development of parks and facilities.
The City Council may recall that under a similar program, the Bond Act of 2000, Proposition 12, the city
received a total of $750,269 in 2003. Reimbursement was received for the previously funded and
completed Orange Park Picnic Shelter ($568,000), with the reimbursement funds permitted to be used
for future parks projects at the city's discretion. Funding was also received for replacement of the play
equipment at Winston Manor 3, 5 and Zamora Parks ($182,269). It should be noted that Proposition 12
required a matching contribution toward the project from the city. The procedural guidelines recently
released for Proposition 40 indicate that no match of city funds is required in these two programs.
However, in order to accomplish a significant improvement, additional funds would be needed given the
modest size of the allocations.
SUMMARY:
Approval of the attached resolutions will allow the city to apply for Proposition 40 funds and authorizes
the City Manager to conduct all negotiations, execute and submit all documents including, but not
limited to, applications, agreements, payment requests, etc., which may be required for completion and
payment for the project(s).

RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT FOR A BALLOT MEASURE TO PROTECT
LOCAL REVENUES
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution supporting a statewide ballot
initiative to require voter approval before the State government may confiscate local tax funds.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
The results of the recent State budget allocations and legislative session have reinforced the need
to pursue different strategies to achieve local government fiscal stability and tax relief. The
Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) believes that the League of California Cities and
the California State Association of Counties sponsorship of a ballot measure to protect local
revenues and limit State take-a-ways is an important alternative strategy. The ABAG Executive
Board voted unanimously to support the ballot measure and campaign effort at its Board meeting
on September 18, 2003.
In addition, the Executive Board fully endorsed recommendations that ABAG member city
councils and boards of supervisors review and adopt similar resolutions, and that the Resolution
be presented to ABAG membership at the annual ABAG Business Meeting during the spring
General Assembly in April, 2004.

RESOLUTION
CITY COUNCIL, CITY OF SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, STATE OF CALIFORNIA
A RES()L[iTION SUPPORTING A STATEWIDE BALLOT
INITIATIVE TO REQUIRE VOTER APPROVAL BEFORE
STATE GOVERNMENT MAY CONFISCATE LOCAL TAX
F[TNDS
WHEREAS, the state annually seizes $824 million of City property tax funds
(ERAF), seriously reducing resources available for local public safety and other services
and increasing pressure on cities to raise fees on new housing developments, increasing
the cost of housing; and
WHEREAS, in adopting the Fiscal Year 2003-04 state budget the Legislature and
Governor confiscated local vehicle license fee backfill and redevelopment property tax
funds that are needed to finance critical city services such as public safety, housing and
economic development; and
WHEREAS, the fiscal year 2003-04 budget also relies on a deficit bond financing
program opposed by the League that is predicated on a local property and sales tax swap
that leaves cities vulnerable to future losses if the state's economic condition fails to
improve; and
WHEREAS, the adopted budget assumes the state will continue to face an
ongoing structural budget deficit of at least $8 billion, putting local government financial
resources at risk in future years; and
WHEREAS, it is abundantly clear that state leaders will continue to use local tax
funds to balance the state budget unless the voters limit the power of the Legislature and
Governor to do so; and
WHEREAS, research conducted by the League in recent years indicates that an
initiative that requires voter approval before the state government can confiscate local tax
funds would likely be supported by an overwhelming number of voters; and
WHEREAS, the voters of California are the best judges of whether funds
traditionally used to finance valuable community services should be diverted,
confiscated, shifted or otherwise taken by the Legislature to finance an ever expanding
state government; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the League of California Cities by
unanimous roll call vote at its July 2003 meeting voted to sponsor a statewide ballot
initiative to empower the voters to limit the ability of state government to confiscate local
tax funds to fund state government; and
WHEREAS, the League Board of Directors has established a political action
committee, known as CITIPAC, to raise private funds to finance part of the cost of such
statewide initiative campaign; and
WHEREAS, the Board has requested that city officials across the state participate
in this private fundraising to finance such a ballot measure campaign; and
BE IT RESOLVED by the General Assembly of the League of California Cities
assembled in Annual Conference in Sacramento, September 10, 2003, that the action of
the Board of Directors to sponsor such an initiative be ratified; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Board invite the City Councils of the
member cities of the League to adopt similar resolutions, supporting such an initiative
and encouraging city officials and others to dedicate their personal time to the campaign
to secure voter approval of the initiative; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that all city officials are called upon to unite and
lend their valuable personal time and personal financial support to this campaign to
provide the voters of California the power to reestablish limitations on the power of the
Legislature and Governor to seize local tax funds that finance vital local services.

Resolution Approving an Updated Joint Powers Agreement Between the City
of South San Francisco and the Bay Area Employment Relations Service
(BA}mS)
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution to approve an updated Joint Powers Agreement between the City of South
San Francisco and the Bay Area Employment Relations Service (BAERS) and authorize the
City Manager to take such steps as are necessary to sign the agreement.
BACKGROUND/DI SCUS SION
Since 1974 the Employment Relations Service (ERS), as it was then known, has provided
information to public agency members that operates under a joint powers agreement. Members used
the data that ERS provided to analyze and determine salaries, benefits, and related policies that affect
both represented and unrepresented employees. Typically the information was used for City
processes, such as labor negotiations, periodic compensation studies, and position/classification
studies
The joint powers agreement is replacing the current ERS contract and is being updated principally to
adapt to changes in services and delivery methods that have occurred since it was last modified in
1987. At that time, the core service was provided by manual, written reports. Today, the core
functions are provided by an on-line service. The structure now consists of a database and web pages
for storing, updating, processing, and displaying the website contents. The website data currently
covers 54 member agencies and summarizes memoranda of understanding and benefits for over 260
collective bargaining units. It also includes approximately 3,600 total compensation records that can
be used to generate on-line surveys in 40 occupational categories. As new data becomes available,
BAERS staff updates the site thereby making it continuously available and up-to-date for member
agencies.
Because of the change in how the service is delivered, a new BAERS agreement needs to be
completed, which is replacing the current ERS agreement.
Staff Report
Subject: BAERS Joint Powers Agreement
Page 2
The agreement has no significant changes: it still vests policy control in a board comprised of one
representative from each member agency. The management committee would continue, but in a more
clearly defined way to analyze issues and make policy, budget, and fee recommendations. The
agreement will still vest responsibility in BAERS staff to maintain and enhance the structure and
content necessary for an Internet site that now serves as the primary vehicle for sharing compensation
and related information among member agencies. The new agreement will still continue the County
of Santa Clara's as the host agency and the employer of BAERS staff.
Under the new agreement, members may not withdraw for a one-year period commencing with the
effective date of its participation. However, following that commitment period, member agencies
may withdraw, as before, at the end of each fiscal year. Some other changes are confidentiality in
relationship to the California Public Records Act and that a two-thirds vote of the full membership
must be made in order to make a change in the agreement.
COSTS
There are no additional membership costs for adopting this updated BAERS agreement.

FROM: Library Director
SUBJECT:
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE ACCEPTANCE OF A $4,000
LIBRARY SERVICES AND TECHNOLOGY ACT (LSTA) GRANT AND A
$2,000 GRANT FROM THE CITIGROUP FOUNDATION AND
AMENDING THE LIBRARY DEPARTMENT'S 2003/2004 OPERATING
BUDGET.
RECOMMENDATIONS
It is recommended that the City Council approve a resolution authorizing the acceptance of
an LSTA grant in the amount of $4,000 from the California State Library and a grant of
$2,000 from the Citigroup Foundation. These funds will be designated to Project Read and
should amend the Library Department's 2003/2004 operating budget.
BACKGROUND
Project Read has been offering learners and students a book discussion group for the last three
years. This year, through an LSTA grant, we will receive funds to enrich the learning experiences
of students in our program with expanded book discussions, using books in combination with
books on tape. The grant will feature books like Mitch Albom's Tuesdays with Morrie, Steve
Martin's Shopgirl, and Lance Armstrong's It's Not About the Bike. In addition, we received
$2,000 from the Citigroup Foundation to purchase materials for Project Read learners and tutors.
FUNDING:
Grant funds received in fiscal year 2003/2004 will be used to amend the Library Department's
current budget. Funds not expended by the end of fiscal year 2003/2004 will be carried over into
fiscal year 2004/2005. Receipt of these funds does not commit the City to ongoing support after
the close of the funding cycle.

REHABILITATION AND FLOOD CONTROL
SEWER & STORM
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution to award the construction contract
to Bay Pacific Pipelines, Inc., in the amount of $297,000 for a temporary lift station as an
interim project to mitigate the flooding caused by heavy rain in the Lindenville area of South
San Francisco and approve the purchase of three self-priming pumps from Thomas and
Associates in the amount of $100,000 through the City of South San Francisco.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
The areas adjacent to South Linden Avenue, Victory Avenue and South Maple Avenue are
subject to street flooding during heavy storms, and Colma Creek breaching containment. This
area of town has been flooding for approximately 70 plus years. The problem is compounded by
subsidence in the area that has sunk some two to three feet over time that caused the storm drain
slopes to reverse and allowed storm infiltration to the sewer system due to joint rotation.
The sewer system infiltration will be alleviated by the Wet Weather Program previously
approved by Council and is now under construction.
The elimination of flooding in the Lindenville area requires a project with two parts:
A. Temporary structure and pumps (this staff report - 2003)
B. Permanent structure, new drains and pumps to be designed and constructed in 2004
C. Purchase of pumps by City of South San Francisco (to expedite and meet time line)
