and in June of 27- -- 2017, my partner and I, Issac
Crawford, started Fathom Marine to continue the services
that Drake Marine had previously provided.
Together we have over 30 years of combined
experience in marine maintenance and repair industry.
Some of our certifications include: Yamaha Outboards --
Issac Crawford is the only certified technician for
Yamaha on the peninsula. Volva Penta, Scania,
Mercury/Mercruiser and Yanmar.
Due to the changes at Oyster Point Marina,
Drake Marine stopped operations in May of 2017. Drake
Marine had been providing repair services to the Oyster
Point Marina and its boaters for over ten years. Some
of the customers include: The San Mateo County Sheriffs
Department, the South San Francisco Fire Department,
Redwood City Fire Department, San Mateo County Harbor
District, Vessel Assist, The U.S. Coast Guard and Navy,
the Americas Cup Team and countless recreational
boaters.
Marine maintenance and repair services are
essential to the boaters of San Francisco Bay and the
Peninsula. The services provided at Oyster Point Marina
are the only marine services provided on the peninsula
and in San Francisco.
In additional to the essential maintenance

services, Oyster Point Marina is one of only two
full-service fuel docks on the peninsula that provide
both gas and diesel fuel. Oyster Point Marina also
provides services to dispose of hazardous materials
related to maintenance and services such as: Fuel, fuel
filters, oil filters and antifreeze.
If these maintenance serv- -- if these marine
services are removed from the Marina where they belong,
the cities in the surrounding areas will have boaters in
violation of many city and municipal codes, performing
maintenance and services on their boats in the streets
in front of their homes.
Fathom Marine's goal is to partner with the
San Mateo -- San Mateo County Harbor District and the
City of South San Francisco to continue to provide
marine services at competitive prices while providing
first class customer service.
We are currently working on a business plan to
provide to the Harbor District, which will encompass
management of the fuel dock and maintaining access to
the services that will help Oyster Point Marina to
continue to grow and flourish.
VICE MAYOR NORMADY: All right.
MR. KINNEBREW: Thank you.
VICE MAYOR NORMADY: Thank you, William.

I'm going to defer the second speaker card to
President Mattusch.
BOARD PRESIDENT MATTUSCH: Sabrina Brennan, we
have a three-minute limit, and I don't know who is
timing our speakers.
MS. BRENNAN: Yes, thank you.
BOARD PRESIDENT MATTUSCH: I presume you are
speaking as a member of the public and not a member of
the Harbor District otherwise I'm going have to say that
your comments --
MS. BRENNER: I'm Sabrina Brennan, and I'm
speaking as a member of the public.
Thanks for the opportunity to address this
committee. I just wanted to mention that it's been
requested that these committee meetings be noticed and
agendized as Special Meetings of the City Council and of
the Harbor Commission, and that request was made
specifically so that the full Board of Harbor
Commissioners and the full City Council would be able,
if they wished, to attend these meeting and ask
questions and learn from the experts that come here --
and the attorneys and the managers and so forth.
These are complex issues, and they impact the
Harbor District significantly. We are a small district,
so I think it's valuable to notice these meetings so

that all Harbor Commissioners and City Council members,
if they wish, are able go attend and participate and ask
questions.
So I would just ask that this committee
consider that going forward. Thank you for your time.
BOARD PRESIDENT MATTUSCH: And I'd like to
state for the record, that as we have three
commissioners here, we will not be welcoming any more
comments from Sabrina Brennan.
MS. BRENNAN: You -- you cannot block me from
making public comments. Sabrina Brennan. I'd like to
get back on the record, and --
BOARD PRESIDENT MATTUSCH: Sabrina --
MS. BRENNAN: -- you cannot block me from
making public comment as a matter of the public.
BOARD PRESIDENT MATTUSCH: I file for recess
right now.
(Five-minute recess.)
BOARD PRESIDENT MATTUSCH: Let's call our
meeting back to order. If you don't mind, we have
another speaker card.
VICE MAYOR NORMADY: So in reference to -- I'm
going to call Kathryn Slater -Carter in reference to
background on the proposal.
MS. SLATER -CARTER: Thank you.

Kathryn Slater -Carter. I somewhat follow
things at the Harbor District and have not noticed that
this has been a point of discussion for the Harbor
District. So I'm curious and would appreciate, when you
get to this agenda item, the background on how these
documents got so far along without having gotten
comments from the Harbor District Board itself.
So -- and perhaps you could throw in whether
South City has been discussing this all along or whether
it's somewhat drafted without South City's input too.
Thank you.
VICE MAYOR NORMADY: Great. Krissy, is there
any more public comment?
THE CLERK: I don't have any.
MS. BRENNAN: I turned in a public comment
card both for public comment and also for -- I don't
have the agenda in front of me, but the agenda related
to item -- item -- I believe it was two.
VICE MAYOR NORMADY: So I have -- I have item
two that you already spoke on, Ms. Brennan, so I'm
going --
MS. BRENNAN: I did not speak to two. I you
spoke to public comment.
VICE MAYOR NORMADY: So unfortunately, due
to -- due to the study session -- and there's three

commissioners, I will not be hearing you on item number
I two.
MS. BRENNAN: You will not be hearing public
comment? This is -- for this the record, this is
Sabrina Brennan speaking. And I just want to make sure
I understand what you are saying. Are you saying that
there will be no public comment on item 2?
BOARD PRESIDENT MATTUSCH: We're closing
public comment to you because it's a Brown Act
violation.
MS. BRENNAN: I put in a -- I put in a speaker
slip on item two, and I'd like to speak as a member of
the public on item 2. It's within the law for me to
speak on item 2.
BOARD PRESIDENT MATTUSCH: It's not within the
law.
MS. BRENNAN: It is within the law.
COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Madam Chair, madam
Chair -- Liza and Tom, can I ask you a quick question?
I thought for special meetings we were only obligated to
have one open public comment, and that's it; is that
correct?
VICE MAYOR NORMADY: I'm going to refer this
to our attorney.
MR. MATTAS: So the agenda includes a public

comment section for the items on the agenda, and as long
as the speakers are allowed their three minute then the
public comment activities are provided. If the speakers
want to provide anything further they can provide it in
writing to the -- to the commission.
COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: So we technically
close public comment?
MR. MATTAS: To -- to be clear, I'm advising
it.
COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Oh, I'm sorry.
MR. MATTAS: So -- so the Council -- the
Liaison Committee has already entertained the public
comments, so you do not need to entertain further public
comments on these items.
COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Okay.
VICE MAYOR NORMADY: Thank you.
MS. BRENNAN: So just -- just to be clear, I
have a question for counsel. I was able to comment
during public comment --
COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: This is the study
session.
MS. BRENNAN: -- but I was not able to comment
on item 2. I am -- I want to make sure it's on the
record that I'm being blocked from commenting on item
two.

I have a prepared comment that I would like to
read. It's under three minutes. I'd like to make it on
item two. I would appreciate not being blocked from
commenting on item two as a member of the public.
BOARD PRESIDENT MATTUSCH: Anything you say
and do here is a Brown Act violation because you are a
member of the San Mateo County Harbor District, and you
are further digging yourself a hole by speaking at this
after being warned not to.
COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: So can we get to
item number 1 and deal with the approval of the
amendments from the last meeting?
MS. BRENNAN: If you believe -- if you believe
that to be true, let me make my hole, but I'd like to
make a public comment on item number two.
VICE MAYOR NORMADY: So Sabrina -- or
Commissioner Brennan, I'm going to close public comment
as in your position so we -- this is not a violation of
the Brown Act so we can continue the study session and
-- and ensure that we have some time --
THE WITNESS: You have not gotten to item two
yet. I would like to comment on item one.
COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Can we do item 1,
please.

consideration that have item number one?
Krista, please.
THE CLERK: Motion to approve the minutes from
the meeting of April 17th, 2017.
BOARD PRESIDENT MATTUSCH: Am I correct then,
that the minutes not be approved? There are far too
many spelling errors. There's syntax errors. There's a
number of things I'd like reviewed and corrected prior
to our approving the minutes.
COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: I concur with
President Mattusch. I -- I -- I don't always read my
minutes. I'm so happy that I did this time.
I had attempted to correct an error at the
previous meeting, the description of a valve, and the
proper terminology for the valve, on page 6, and it
doesn't -- the correction doesn't appear as I intended.
Moving deeper into the minutes, there was -- I
know sometimes I'm a little incoherent, but I can't
believe I'm this bad. So my -- the transcript is:
"Okay. So it -- it seems to be -- make our even more
necessary."
VICE MAYOR NORMADY: Yeah.
COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: I don't think that's
me. And then Commissioner Mattusch is much better
spoken, and his was, "There were a number of docks that

condition has not got much --"
COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Well, so I
actually. There were actual -- I looked at -- I read
the minutes a couple times, and there were comments
attributed to the wrong --
MALE SPEAKER: Yes.
COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: -- member of the
committee. So I just want to make sure that all those
things are corrected and proofread again.
And so I'm with -- for commissioner --
commissioner -- Councilmember Addiego and President
Mattusch. And so you are suggesting maybe approve this
at the next meeting?
MALE SPEAKER: Yeah, with corrections.
COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Yeah. With
corrections. Okay.
VICE MAYOR NORMADY: Is that enough? You
don't need any corrections?
MALE SPEAKER: Yeah. That's fine. I don't
need corrections.

South San Francisco Redevelopment Agency.
MR. FUTRELL: I have a report that I believe,
Steve, you'd like to open.
MR. McGRATH: I would. I'd like to thank the
council members and commissioners and South City staff.
This has been a topic of conversation, the
relationship between South City and the District. And
we started off at the Board of Commissioners talking
about the JPA in February of this year -- in March of
this year. The Oyster Point Committee had a meeting --
spoke with -- talking about the JPA and -- and
specifically also Drake Marine, both boat storage and
the fuel dock.
In April of this year, this committee also met
again and identified the need for this implementation
agreement and had some significant discussion at that
time as well about the fuel dock.
So I'd like to just recognize the effort that
has gone in sofar into getting us to this point. I
think that the -- the agreement itself is a simple
agreement to facilitate the completion of the
activities.

VICE MAYOR NORMADY: I'm not opening comments

VICE MAYOR NORMADY: Then I'm going -- I'm
going to call a five-minute recess, because this is --

MS. BRENNAN: I'm not disrupting the meeting,
you are.
VICE MAYOR NORMADY: I'm asking you to remove
yourself from the table so we can go through the staff
report and the presentation.
THE WITNESS: I'm sitting at the public
comment position waiting for my public comment. I'm not
interrupting the meeting, you are. I'm listing to the
staff report.
COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Can we clear the
chair? Can we clear the chair.

COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: So, very quickly,
the optics of this looks like there are three
commissioners at this table, which would be a violation
of the Brown Act since the public comment period has
been closed.
So I concur with you. If you'd like to have a
five-minute recess, you can do that. It's up to the
chairs.
VICE MAYOR NORMADY: I'm going to call a
five-minute recess.
(Recess taken.)
VICE MAYOR NORMADY: So we are going to move
forward with staff reports. Mr. McGrath, you may
proceed.
MR. McGRATH: Thank you.
To briefly recap, I want to thank the council
members and the commissioners for this meeting today.
From the District side, we have talked about
our relationship with South City, not just in 2016 and
before, but in February of this year and again in March
of this year when we started talking about the fuel, and
in April of this year with this committee -- the liaison
committee where we talked about the draft -- developing
an implementing agreement and specifically focusing in
on the fuel as an issue that needed to be addressed.

As it says in the staff report, this
implementation agreement is simply intended to assist
the City and the Harbor District in implementing the
2011 MOU agreement and proposed Oyster Point development
including 1C and 2C infrastructure.
Certainly, the -- the staff will receive input
today and bring this back to the respective bodies. I
know that City Manager Futrell has prepared a PowerPoint
and I'll turn that over to him to show the PowerPoint,
ask questions and be prepared for any detailed
discussions with the committee and citizens.
VICE MAYOR NORMADY: All right. Thank you,
Mr. McGrath.
Mr. Futrell.
MR. FUTRELL: Thank you. And thank you,
Steve.
I will, before I start reiterating. It has
been -- it seems a lot longer than three months that
I've been working on this. It has bit contentious. I
think we have reached a place where staff -- both
staffs, are ready to recommended this agreement to,
first, this body and then later to full Commission and
full City Council, which clarifies our earlier 2001
agreement, which was passed by the City Council at that
time.

MR. McGRATH: 2011.
MR. FUTRELL: What did I say?
BOARD PRESIDENT MATTUSCH: 2001, 2011.
MR. FUTRELL: 2011 agreement.
MR. McGRATH: MOU.
MR. FUTRELL: -- which was passed at that time
by the Harbor District Commissioners and by the City
Council.
So I do have a presentation, the beginning of
which I'm trying to put this -- what we're doing into
some context, and to Kathryn Slater -Carter's comment
earlier of trying to understand how this fits in the big
picture, what we are doing -- and we think it's our
worth our time to spend a few minutes to review that
before we, again, go into a deep dive into the nitty
gritty of this particular detail.
So, South San Francisco is the world's largest
biotech cluster. 215 biotechnology companies east of
101 now coming into west of 101, with four of the --
Four of the five largest pharmaceuticals in
the world are in South San Francisco. They are --
approximately 34 percent of these companies are doing
cancer research. A growing number are doing aging --
aging research: Parkinson's, Alzheimer's. We have two
Google -backed companies in town also doing life science

I work.
This is a map of the entire Oyster Point area.
Everything in color is biotechnology as it stands today.
Now, so you can see -- in context, this is the Marina
and the area currently controlled by the Harbor District
under the JPA from 1977. It didn't look like this in
1977, but this map is continuing to turn colors as old
warehouses are being torn down and turned into
cutting-edge biotechnology.
As Mountain View and Sunnyvale may be
considered the heart of Silicon Valley, South San
Francisco is the heart of biotechnology in the world and
the largest cluster.
I want to take a minute and just watch
something. This was put on by The Cove. You have seen
this under construction off 101. But it's worth putting
it in context of what we're trying to accomplish.
(Video plays.)
MR. SOMEBODY: This is just up the street from
Oyster Point Marina. So if you are driving north on 101
you'll see this campus under construction. We are
building seven biotech buildings plus a Marriott hotel.
The first two buildings are finished and
occupied, there's research ongoing. Buildings two --
three -- three and four will be finished in a couple of

months and are fully leased to biotech companies.
Buildings five and six are under construction, and I
understand they are already preleased even though they
are not complete. Building seven will likely start next
year. The Marriott hotel opens in less than 30 days.
This is the world that Oyster Point Marina
lives in and that Oyster Point Development that we will
talking about will become a part of.
If you look at Oyster Point Development, what
is the vision for this? It is a 2 billion -dollar remake
of the waterfront in South San Francisco. Their current
proposal, 1.1 million square feet of biotech labs
combined with 1,200 residential units, which will be
nestled around the lower marina retail, 30,000 square
feet of retail, 2 billion dollar private investment into
the waterfront.
Now, this will be the new entryway after they
tear down the hotel and the eatery out there, providing
a main boulevard with views of the bay, new road
infrastructure, new bay trail, sea -level -rise
protection, new landfill cap, new parks, remodel and
reopen the public beach and provide outdoor event space.
This will be the view coming from the ferry,
and this would be, on the right, the Marina operated by
the Harbor District.

As you go a little further along, there will
be outdoor cafes and restaurants. This is -- these are
the plans that were turned into BCDC last month, Mary?
FEMALE VOICE: Yes.
MR. FUTRELL: On how to they plan to reshape
and remake the bay trail and all of the infrastructure
out there in an environmentally sustainable way, a
tremendous leap forward in quality of what's currently
there.
Again, this is still the BCBG presentation.
The marina -area improvements, marina lawn area, and you
can see on the left again, the marina operated by the
Harbor District and a greatly improved public beach.
There is a public beach that most people have
forgotten about because it's fallen into terrible
disrepair, completely reshaping this and making it an
active beach again.
The coastal meadow, this was something that
BCBG was particularly excited about, to maintain that
ecosystem along the bay trail. Waterfront lounge areas
so people can enjoy that San Francisco bay.
And again, this is their vision of where they
are going out there, the City is very supportive as are
our residents, and it's time that our beachfront coastal
area was improved.

This all started in 2011 with a company named
Shorenstein. The City and Shorenstein negotiated for
several years, the Harbor District was part of those
negotiations. The MOU that was mentioned was actually
passed in 2009 followed by another agreement with the
Harbor District in 2011, which is the one we're dealing
with today.
For reference, the area in red is what was
owned by Shorenstein -- is now owned by OPD. The area
in blue is the area controlled by the Harbor District
under the JPA. The yellow are what's referred to as the
King leases. Many, many years ago, the Harbor District
leased those properties, I assume, to someone named
Mr. King who turned it over to many, many people.
Shorenstein, with this deal, bought the King leases, and
it's under those leases that Drakes Marine operated as
well the small hotel.
As part of 2011, there were a series of
agreements. Three. The City of South San Francisco
entered into a agreement with Shorenstein, Oyster Point
Ventures as a DA and a DDA, a development agreement and
a disposition and development agreement. The City and
the Harbor District also entered into an agreement in
2011, the purpose of which was to really try to look
into the future and forecast what type problems would

arise, how would -- once construction started here, how
would these two entities work together to make this
successful.
Now we are on the cusp of construction, and as
we are working through this 2011 agreement with the
Harbor District, now actually looking at real drawings,
real numbers, we have found there are some vague
elements here, some things that could be tightened up,
and that was the genesis of the implementation agreement
to tighten up this agreement so that this
2 billion -dollar development could move forward and
achieve that vision.
The 2011 agreement -- first, it references the
DA and DDA. It ties the two together. It removes land
from the JPA, and that should happen September 29th of
this year. That's the trigger date when certain parcels
will come out of the JPA and be conveyed legally to OPD.
They will own the land at -that point.
The City pays the Harbor District $2 million
under this deal, and the City has paid this, and it's
important to remember that as part of this 2011
agreement in Oyster Point development now -- yeah,
Oyster Point development, the Harbor District has
received $2 million cash for this.
There's a provision the City will provide,

under certain circumstances, office space to the Harbor
District, and the Harbor District in the agreement
retains 40,000 square feet on the waterfront for future
lease. And as well appreciated -- it may be a ferry
village perhaps. But the opportunity to develop and
then earn revenue from future leases out there in this
40,000 square foot.
It dedicates -- as Exhibits B & D, which
details the site of the ferry village as well as a
City -sponsored hotel and recreation space.
There we go. 2011 exhibits, just for
reference, do show the space for the ferry village here,
future hotel and recreational play fields via operation
-- operation by the City.
This is also on a big board for future
reference, but this is the current drawing from 2017
with a lot more detail of what is going to be built out
there. Again, it shows the hotel space and the open
space, but also shows the rebuilt parking areas, new
public and private restrooms. The private restrooms
would be for the use of the liver [sic] boards and other
visitors to the Marina through the Harbor District as
well as the bay trail and the new boulevards -- so a new
way to get to Oyster Point.
The road that is currently used around the

bottom will be -- will go away, and it will have new
tree -lined boulevards along with the parks.
That was a bit lookahead -- so 2016, Oyster
Point Ventures changed to Oyster Point Development.
Oyster Point Ventures, which was backed by the
Shorenstein company sold its interest to Oyster Point
Development, which many people call Greenland.
Greenland U.S.A. is the largest investor. There are
actually four investors in the project, and the
technical name for it is Oyster Point Development.
In June of 2016, the city council approved the
transfer from OPV to OPD, and in that same month, the
Harbor District approved the transfer of what we call
the King leases from OPD to OPV [sic].
Since that time, since August of 2016, Oyster
Point development has hired contractors, designers,
landscape architects, and they are on the cusp of
beginning construction to make this real.
The 2017 implementation agreement we are here
today to discuss, again, is meant to massage around the
earlier 2011 agreement where there may be some vague
terms and things that need to be cleaned up, and it does
principally four things: It makes clear that Oyster
Point Development has site access to make the
improvements -- that they can actually go onto the site,

legally and begin construction. It makes clear that the
king leases are terminated. They own the King leases
and they will be building buildings in biotech. So
those releases are terminated. And it makes clear that
the hotel and recreation sites that we saw earlier are
removed from the JPA entirely, and the City is pursuing
those two as was the intent. And a few feature provides
for a new fuel dock and fuel line system for the Harbor
District.
That merits a little further discussion. Over
the past three months, Harbor District staff has been, I
would say, enthusiastically pursuing an opportunity to
rebuild and fix the fuel line out at Oyster Point
Development. They have -- Harbor District staff has
made a very compelling case that a fuel line is an
essential element of a successful Marina, and we have
included it in this implementation agreement. So what
it will do -- and -- this is the best map we had -- it
does show the fuel line in red. The -- there are
underground tanks.
So first -- by reference, this is the
roundabout out there. The yacht club would be here, if
I'm not in the way. Over here there are underground
fuel tanks that must be removed by 2025 by state law.
There is a fuel line that runs underground, and then

once it hits the pier area, I think it goes above ground
and runs out to a fuel dock here.
So what this agreement does, once passed by
both bodies is, first, provides $90,000 for immediate
repairs -- that the City of South San Francisco will
provide that money to the Harbor District for immediate
repairs. There is an estimate that was provided, that
shows it's 69,000, but what's envisioned and again,
this -- this is really the harbor folk's daily work is:
What do we need to do to keep it in operation and make
it safe until we replace it. No one wants to spend
money on parts of a fuel line which a year later we may
rip out to bring in a new fuel line, but there is a
general recognition that something needs to be done
immediately. How do we pay for it? The City will step
up and do that as part of this agreement.
Number two, the replacement is funded,
actually by OPV, through a community facilities
district, which they have agreed to. They will pay a
certain amount per square foot of the buildings that
they build, and that money is dedicated towards
replacement of the fuel system in its -- in its entirety
at Oyster Point Marina.
It's a $2.5 million investment. That again,
enures to the benefit of the Harbor District and the

boat users out there. We do have language in the
agreement because there are at least two lawyers in the
room licensed to practice in California, and we have to
envision what happens if the community facilities
district does not occur.
Forming a community facilities district in
California is a lengthy process. We believe it will go
to the City Council October 11th for its first look.
And then there's a public process. And depending on how
that goes, we will either get that finished in December,
or at the latest, April. But we will certainly not have
the CFD completely finished by the time there is
groundbreaking on October 12th, which is our goal.
So if -- if, for whatever reason the CFD does
not come to pass, it envisions that, of course, the
Harbor District could continue to operate the system and
could replace it at its own expense if it chose to do
SO. However, if the Harbor District decides we do not
want to operate the fuel system or we do not want to
invest the money in that, then the City is willing to
step into the shoes of the Harbor District, and the City
will, at its expense pay to decommission the fuel
system, which really means, remove it. Those
underground tanks must come out by 2025 regardless, and
the City will take on that obligation as the landowner

under this particular agreement.
So I will say, editorial comment from the City
side, it's our belief this is a really -- Steve McGraw
and his team have done a very good job of negotiating
with the City to get first, $90,000 from a third source,
and then find away to fund 2.5 million in dock and fuel
improvements without it costing the Harbor District
anything, and then, as a fail safe, the City will step
in and decommission at its expense, the fuel system.
So -- but we are not going to get a fuel
system stand in the way of a $2 billion -reconstruction
of our waterfront, and city staff is recommending to
council that we agree to these terms.
The benefits of the implementation agreement
for the Harbor District, it makes clear the 2011
agreement. We don't want disputes or nagging vague
questions about how it's supposed to work when OPD is
ready to start construction. It does fund the 90,000 in
the fuel dock. It does shrink the footprint that the
Harbor District is responsible for at Oyster Point on
the land side by removing the hotel site and the
recreational area from the responsibility of the Harbor
District. You no longer have to worry about O&M on
those sites, and it does build new infrastructure
supporting the Marina, which you saw earlier.

Much of that infrastructure -- well, I'd say
all of that infrastructure is old and will be replaced
in total. And I hope that does translate to a reduction
in the maintenance cost for the Harbor District for the
new bathrooms, the new bay trail, the new parking lots
et cetera.
From the City, it makes clear the 2007
agreement, and most importantly, it clears the way for a
transformative waterfront development.
So that's why we are really here. The staff
is presenting to the committee today our draft of that
implementation agreement which resolves issues that we
have uncovered as staff, and opens the way for Oyster
Point Development to begin construction.
Look at next steps. We are here at the top,
at the liaison committee. Assuming we are successful
today or get enough direction to move forward, I'll
recommended to the mayor that we present this at the
September 6th full City Council meeting.
It's my understanding that if things go well
and we get it going, that there may be a recommendation
to hear this on the September 20th full Harbor District
meeting, and that is all in time for just, two and a
half weeks later, the actual groundbreaking out at the
site.

answer any questions.
VICE MAYOR NORMADY: Great, so thank you to
our city manager, Mike Futrell and our general manager
Steve McGrath.
I'm going to open this up to the liaison
committee for any questions for either of the two
representatives.
COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: So this is -- this
is a great PowerPoint presentation. You all have done a
lot of work, and I appreciate that.
My question is probably more fundamental than
anything. Looking at -- and all I have is the
electronic copy of the staff report and the attachments
and the maps. And it's great that, you know, yeah, we
have done things, financially, to make things get -- get
this far, but I didn't see any -- I still didn't see,
you know, projections on what is the Harbor District
going to -- how are we -- I'm not trying -- I'm trying
to make this sound as diplomatic as I possibly can.
Based on the minutes from the last meeting, it
sounds like OPD, which is now OPV, right?
MALE SPEAKER: Other way around.
COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: OPV is now OP --

MALE SPEAKER: Yes.
COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: My impression is
they were actually going to actually be more involved
with financing and developing this fuel dock thing as
the lessee. So that's one thing. Where -- where has
that conversation -- in my opinion it seems -- well, the
conversation seems to have fallen through the cracks, so
I want to know what happened there.
Two, the lessee situation and the sublessee,
it sounds like there has been an assignment of the
sublease. I don't know, based on today's public
comment. And I'm not saying that it's good or bad, but
we had a joint -- but we had a OPM, Oyster Point Marina
committee meeting, Tom and I and Steve on July 24th, and
it sounds like -- is it Fathom? They were -- they were
already operating in June of 2017, so -- and I don't
know if they -- if that's the case.
I don't even know what's going on there
because nothing was discussed at our July 24th meeting
at the Harbor District's office. So -- and it seems
like, financially, things are changing, and so while I
understand that there's a public benefit for the City of
South San Francisco, I'm trying to look at what the
public benefit would be for the Harbor District and the
rest of San Mateo County tax payers.

So that's not to say I'm against this, I just
don't have the answers, so that's -- I want to kind of
understand what happened between the last meeting and
today because clearly the sublease has also been
assigned to a new subleasee, which we didn't know about
until today.
MR. McGRATH: Mike, yeah. You take the first
one and I take the second one?
MR. FUTRELL: I'm not sure which you say is
the first or the second, but go ahead.
MR. McGRATH: Go ahead. The funding for the
fuel dock and OPD, and then I'll address the lease
issue.
MR. FUTRELL: Okay. On the funding, the OPD
says we will provide you the money, but we really don't
have an interest in designing or building a fuel dock.
COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: They -- they -- so
who suggested the CFD?
MR. FUTRELL: The CFD came -- came from the
City side.
COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Right.
MR. FUTRELL: Because.
COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: It was more than for
the fuel line, the concept of the CFD.

package of the CFD goes beyond the fuel line, and what
it has been agreed upon is there would be a continuance,
it would not include the money for the fuel line -- that
there would be a continuing CFD for the benefit of the
City to pay for continued maintenance of all of the nice
amenities that were just shown --
COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Right.
MR. FUTRELL: -- such as the public beach and
the recreational areas. So -- so there -- the CFD has a
bigger component.
When the fuel issue came up, then the issue
became: Well, it was acceptable to OPD to increase the
size of the CFD to accommodate the fuel system, which
was not a easy negotiation.
COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Okay.
MR. FUTRELL: To get them to agree that: Yes,
they will pay for the entire system even though they are
currently only the holders of the lease, and a lease
which, under most circumstances, will end in about 30
days.
But they are willing to do that. I believe
it's more acceptable to -- but I'll let Steve speak to
Harbor District, and certainly to the City that OPD back
out and not have its fingers in trying to tell us what
kind of fuel system to build.

They are not Marina operators, but they were
willing to fund it. So I'm not sure if that's
dramatically different than the last meeting. Maybe --
COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Well, the CFD
wasn't even discussed in the last meeting. And so the
only reason I -- I'm not worried about it. In my -- I
mean, as you know, I sit on a fire board in Menlo Park,
and we have also discussed a community facilities
district for different reasons. And I can understand
the reasons there. And now that you have expanded --
now you have explained it, that there is actual an area
that is bigger than -- which I kind of knew. I didn't
know how big this communities facilities district would
be. So it sounds like you have -- because I think, if I
remember correctly from our legal counsel there, you do
need to have an initial taxing partner, which sounds
like OPD is; is that correct?
MR. FUTRELL: There are -- there are three
land owners involved.
COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Okay.
MR. FUTRELL: The City, OPD and a company
named Kashiwa.
COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Okay.
MR. FUTRELL: It requires two-thirds vote of
the three land owners based on square footage of land to

pass the CFD.
COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Right.
MR. FUTRELL: By our calculations, the City
and OPD alone exceeds 80 percent, although we are
working with Kashiwa, so we are very confident that the
CFD will make its way through the City Council, but
there are mandated delays and times. It's not a fast
process.
COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Right. At all.
MR. FUTRELL: I know. But since there are
only three parties and two of the parties have already
said yes, I think we will succeed.
COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Okay. And that is
the April 2018 deadline? Tell me how that fits in
because --
MR. FUTRELL: That is correct.
COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: So do you intend
to have this thing created by that time because in the
report -- in the -- yeah, in the report, the way I read
it, is the consideration should have been done by that
time, not that the process would be done by that time or
there would be a full-fledged CFD.
MR. FUTRELL: It's our intention that a
full-fledged CFD will be formed no later than April of
2018.

COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Okay.
MR. FUTRELL: And that's a scenario built by
our CFD consultants as well as attorneys. We hope and
believe it would be earlier but no later than
April 18th.
COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Okay. And then in
the public comment that we heard from Fathom, and it was
an issue that I brought up last time about the fuel dock
having an impact. One way or the other, it sounds like
there are let us of different entities that could be
impacted. And so, with this group in development
happening -- and I'm not saying it's bad or good. I'm
just saying, you know, if there's going to be this
pretty quick growth, and you know, I think, all over the
county we are experiencing that -- we certainly are down
in my neck of the woods -- what kind of impact do you
think, now, especially based on the public comment, will
there be on fuel dock? The fuel dock -- the area, I
guess -- because if all of these law enforcements
agencies are using this -- and I brought this up last
time, it's -- you know, I -- I just -- and I was told
last time there would be no negative impact. And then
now it sounds like there could be a negative impact.
And that's all in the minutes from the last meeting, so
just help me understand if there has been a change in no

negative impact to any negative impact or more negative
impact -- if there is more negative impact, what that
negative impact is.
MR. McGRATH: Okay. So I'll take this. Thank
you.
COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Does that make
sense at all?
MR. McGRATH: Yeah, and you have -- the first
part of your comments is regarding the lease. We have a
lease with Oyster Point Development, and Drake Marine is
a sublessee of theirs. And we know that fuel is
continuing to be supplied.
We have talked amongst -- internally, about
having backup by training our staff with the necessary
training in order to be dispensers -- marine fuel
dispensers. The -- the part of your question that
related to public safety, we do recognize that fuel is
important in a Marina, and that's why the negotiations
have been so extensive with South City. We believe that
there's a high likelihood that the CFD would be formed,
the money would be present, and the fuel system will be
improved.
If that does not happen, then there will be a
policy decision for the commission as to whether or not
to take on that responsibility or to walk away from

fuel, at which point, the City, has said, at this point,
that they would be responsible for decommissioning the
system.
COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Wait. So that
begs the question -- then that would be even more of a
problem if there's more -- if there is reliance on the
fuel docks, right -- or the fuel dock.
MR. McGRATH: There is fuel --
COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: So why even do it
then?
MR. McGRATH: Why even do what?
COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: The fuel dock. I
mean 'cause it's -- I get -- and maybe I'm looking at it
in too simplistic of away, but, um, right now, what I'm
hearing -- and help me understand if I'm misinterpreting
this, is that we -- we would basically -- the Harbor
District, we would be responsible for the fuel dock and
if the CFD is formed, obviously, the funding, you know,
some of that would come from there.
If the CFD isn't formed, and I know it's a
long process because my fire district has been
discussing it since January of 2017, maybe even before
then.
If it doesn't happen, then the choice is --
the choice would be: The Harbor District can continue

to do something, based on what you're telling me, or the
City can decommission. If the Harbor District decides
not to do anything and continue with the fuel dock and
it is decommissioned by the City, why even have it in
the first place?
MR. McGRATH: Again, the City -- I mean, the
District believes it's an important component of the
Marina, right?
COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Well, that's on --
based on what y'all have said, it is so -- so if it can
be decommissioned that easily, that -- is that an
essential services that's going to be given up?
MR. McGRATH: Let's -- let's back away from
that easily. We've got fundamentally, three different
parts of the process of maintaining the fuel facility.
The first is -- are the initial and immediate
repairs that were identified in, say, Manager Futrell's
presentation, that the City will fund the $290,000. We
have seen the condition of the fuel dock. We can move
forward and make it safe while the CFD is being formed,
while we are developing plans, specs, engineering for
the replacement of that fuel dock.
Then we have got a bright line between what we
are calling initial improvements, I guess which is, from
the shore out to the fuel dispenser. And then the

second point is from that point back to the fuel tank.
We do have a hard deadline on the fuel tank, again, as
City Manager Futrell mentioned. 2025. By 2025, the
fuel tank must either be removed completely and the
surrounding contrary mitigated or replaced by a
dual -walled tank with dual -walled lines connecting it to
the dispensing system. So we've got two separate
compartments.
COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: And who pays for
I that?
MR. McGRATH: At this point, the CFD would pay
for that.
COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Assuming there is
one.
MR. McGRATH: Assuming there is one.
And as Mr. Futrell mentioned, a two-thirds
vote of the property owners within a CFD is required to
make that happen --
COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Uh-huh.
MR. McGRATH: -- and currently, OPD and the
City controls 80 percent of the area, so?
COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: So you have three
of the three organizations, if you will -- so are those
the only taxpayers that would be affected, or do you
have to --

COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: -- go to
residential areas to --
MR. FUTRELL: There's no residential, and only
through taxpayers.
MR. McGRATH: And two control more than
sufficient votes to form the district. The language
that is included in the implementation agreement that
addresses the potential for the lack of formation of a
CFD is there because it -- did behooves us to at least
address that potentiality, but --
COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Yeah, I would say
that's a big thing if there is more demand for the use
of a fuel dock.
MR. McGRATH: Yeah, and so that's why the -- I
believe that the City has worked hard with OPD to ensure
that the funding is there and that the CFD is sized in
such away to ensure the majority of the votes necessary
to form it.
COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: So I understand
that. So I -- so I'm just trying to under -- I'm just
trying to wrap my hands around this a little better so
that I can financially figure this out.
So in some ways, the City of South San
Francisco is the lead agency on this kind of

negotiation, right, with OPD and dealing with the
development of Oyster Point.
And if you -- so -- the special district,
which is what we are, you know, you are kind of
representing us in terms of your negotiations with
Oyster Point Development, right?
MR. FUTRELL: It remains my personal opinion
that that was all done and signed and sealed and
delivered in 2011.
COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Right. But we are
dealing with a fuel dock issue now too.
MR. FUTRELL: There are many on my side that
believe the 20,000 -- the 2011 agreement --
COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: That was okay.
MR. FUTRELL: -- is sufficient to do
everything we need to do. And you're right. The fuel
line is not in there.
COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Right.
MR. FUTRELL: And I find it very hard to
connect the fuel line to Oyster Point Development and
what we are doing.
The fuel line has been under the constant
control, maintenance, operation of the Harbor District
since 1977. All monies made on the fuel line have
enured to the benefit of the Harbor District. I have a

very hard time explaining to my council why we care at
all about the fuel line.
COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: No, no, I -- I
understand.
MR. FUTRELL: Why should the City contribute
anything to a money -making enterprise which the Harbor
District has had control for the last forty years? But
in the interest of not throwing a wrench into a
2 billion waterfront development, we are willing to
listen and then -- and at least recommended to council
that we play and try to make the Harbor District
satisfied vis-a-vis the fuel line.
COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: No, I understand.
And don't get me wrong. I appreciate that. My thing
was last -- at the last meeting, I thought there would
be more involvement by the lessee since they -- this is
under their -- their control, essentially, of their
funding the repair of this. And it sounds like that is
not going to happen, which is why are you now resorting
to a CFD, which is not necessarily a bad thing, but it's
usually not the -- it's almost like sometimes it's the
last resort, because they are already paying property
taxes, these taxpayers --
MR. FUTRELL: I respectfully disagree.

MR. FUTRELL: But for what they -- what Oyster
Point Development is doing is raising their rental rates
on their future tenants.
COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Okay.
MR. FUTRELL: And instead of keeping that
money themselves, they are going buy a fuel line with
it. So they are, in fact, out of their own pocket,
contributing $2.5 million from their bottom line towards
this.
Again, they had the same trouble I do that
they, in total, would be the holders of this lease for
12 months, how does that make me responsible for
$2.5 million worth of replacement.
Certainly an argument can be made that as the
holders of the lease, they have some obligation to
maintain and repair that is far shy of digging up the
tanks and replacing them. So I would say that Oyster
Point Development also, in the spirit of wanting to move
forward, not delaying the groundbreaking, has
capitulated and said: Okay, we will fund the
2.5 million. Can we please just move on?
COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: And they view that
as their contribution to the public benefit side; is
that correct?
MR. FUTRELL: It is not phrased as that, but

they certainly could call it that because there's no
direct benefit to them.
COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: No. That's why
it's called a public benefit.
MR. FUTRELL: But I -- the term "public
benefit" is not a term of art used in land negotiations
so I would not call it that, personally.
COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Okay. Okay. So
why didn't we know about the reassignment of the
sublease in our June July 24th meeting?
MR. McGRATH: The July 24th meeting was held
to discuss the scope only of the District's Oyster Point
committee. And as far as we are concerned, we still
have a lease with OPD, and OPD has a sublease with Drake
Marine, and if Drake Marine has worked an arrangement
with another entity, then that would happen.
COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: So you are saying
there is no assignment of the sublease. Okay.
MR. McGRATH: There is no assignment of a
lease to which we are a party.
COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: There is a
sublease. Because that's what -- they are not a party
for a lease, necessarily. They are the sublessee, so
basically, there is no assignment to -- for the
sublease.

MR. MILLER: Can I offer some help?
MR. McGRATH: Thank you.
MR. MILLER: Unless I am wrong and that there
has been some notification that I don't know about, the
lease between the Harbor District and its tenant, OPD,
requires notice and approval of any subleasing.
The District has, for many years now approved
a sublease between OPD and Drakes Marine. As far as I
know, no one has asked the District -- OPD has not asked
the district permission to assign -- or Drake has not
asked for permission. We have no knowledge of any
assignment of the sublease between OPD and Drakes to
some other entity.
COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Wait, but Drakes
just stopped operating in May of 2017.
MR. MILLER: Well, I don't -- what I heard
today, and it may be --
COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Based on public
comment today.
MR. MILLER: Based on public comment that I
heard, it's not quite as clear as that. I don't know
whether these folks are operating it for Drakes Marine
or pursuant -- I don't know anything about their
agreement, but the Harbor District has not approved an

assignment of any sublease.
COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Okay. Thank you.
MR. FUTRELL: If I can add, on our side, we
can confirm.
COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Sure.
MR. FUTRELL: On our side, we'll confirm --
we're not aware of any assignment of the sublease by
OPD, but that is something we should certainly ask them.
Under this implementation agreement, if approved, on
September 29th, when the land transfers take place, all
of these leases are canceled.
COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Right.
MR. FUTRELL: And they go away. What that
effectively means is that control of the fuel line in
that in that area goes back to the Harbor District as it
was originally in the beginning. Then the Harbor
District would have the option at that point to
negotiation with a future operator and enter into a new
lease and earn revenue off that if they choose to do so.
This is how this is originally.

going through a CFD process now, because last time I
thought that they were --
VICE MAYOR NORMADY: We're going through a CFD
process.
COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Y'all are going
through -- that's right. But it affects what -- how
this plays into the fuel dock, right? So if they know
-- if OPD understands the deficiencies, is that why you
are resorting to a CF- -- I mean, one of the things -- I
don't know the other parts, what condition things are in
or what. I'm just asking. So I don't know.
COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: No, I mean, I'm not in
a position to answer that question.

I'll challenge you as a commissioner of the Harbor

City Manager Futrell has found a mechanism to keep OPD

acceptable to OPD, then that's just the natural course,
and it's a wonderful outcome. And short of that, if I
understand the city manager, short of that, if I
understand the city manager -- short of that, if it
wasn't to come to be, we are the provider of funds of
last resort to correct that?
MR. FUTRELL: No, if -- if all fails --
COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: I suspect we might be.
MR. FUTRELL: -- the world comes to an end, we
are committed to paying for whatever environmentally
responsible --
COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: Yes.
MR. FUTRELL: -- way to cease operation.
COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: Right.
VICE MAYOR NORMADY: I believe at the last
meeting, I think, between myself and President Mattusch,
we were pretty adamant about the need for a fuel dock
out there, without further need for going into
discussion.
Before we move on to the staff recommendation,
I am aware that Commissioner Brennan has something
written. I want to provide her the opportunity to turn

in that something -- that document to us for the minutes
without reading it, so therefore there is not a
perception of the violation of Brown Act. Otherwise, I
leave that up to you. What would you like to do about
it. I would you like to at least accept her -- accept
your -- or you can email it to City Manager Futrell to
then turn it into the minutes as well.
That I do not see any other blue cards -- so I
want to at least provide you that option.
THE WITNESS: So Code Section 54954 states
that every agenda for regular meeting and special
meeting shall provide an opportunity for members of the
public to directly address the legislative body on any
item of interest to the public before or during the
legislative body on any item of interest to the public,
before or during the legislative body's consideration of
the item and within the subject matter jurisdiction of
the legislative body provided that no action shall be
taken on any item not appearing on the agenda unless the
-- bla, bla, bla, bla, bla.
Basically, I have the right, as a member of
the public to make a public comment verbally here, and
so does anybody else as a member of the public on item
two.
By denying me the right to make my public

comment, this committee is violating the law, and so I
am asking to make my public comment verbally. I did not
intend to disrupt the meeting. My intention is not to
be disruptive. I have appreciated everything that I've
heard here, and I appreciate everybody's time, but I
would like to make my comment, and it is within the law
for me to make my public comment.
VICE MAYOR NORMADY: So Commissioner Brennan,
I -- I absolutely understand the law and public comments
without a doubt.
However, perception and visual is that you are
here as a commissioner of the Harbor District. So
therefore I provided an option for you to turn in your
written documentation and/or please email it to City
Manager Futrell so we can have it in our records and
minutes.
However, I'm not going to stop you from
wanting to reading your -- your minutes or your three --
your three minutes of speech. However, the perception
to me, there's three commissioners in the meeting,
and -- and it's -- it could be -- it could visually look
like a violation of Brown Act.
Before we go into a recommendation for -- for
both the City -- the City and the Harbor District.
So, I mean that's all I'm going to say.

MS. BRENNAN: I appreciate your concerns about
that, and I can understand where those are coming from.
I don't agree because I'm here speaking as a member of
the public. I'll just keep it really short, and then I
will -- I will --
COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: I have a question of
this. This affects more than the commissioner who is at
the end of the table.
COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: I agree.
COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: There are two other
commissioners here that have to consider, and I guess
their counsel is here. They should get some advice.
MR. MILLER: Well, we've already surpassed the
commissioner.
MS. BRENNAN: Counsel is here. Why don't we
ask our counsel.
COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Actually, public
comment has been closed, so why are we opening up public
comment?
BOARD PRESIDENT MATTUSCH: How about some
comments here from our attorney.
MR. MILLER: Sure, I have advised my council,
I've advised you. I've advised my entire council that
notwithstanding the Brown Act section that Commissioner
Brennan has quoted, that the Attorney General has

emphatically opined that when a majority of the Board is
present at the committee meeting, the member who is not
on the committee, such as Commissioner Brennan may
attend the committee hearing but may do so, not as a
member of the public with limited rights -- more limited
than any member of the public, may sit in the room, may
not speak in public comment as Commissioner Brennan is
seeking to do and that to do so would be a violation of
the Brown Act pursuant to the Attorney General's
published opinion.
So that is the advice that I have given and
I'm giving again here today. It is not my
recommendation that Commissioner Brennan may be
permitted to provide a public comment.
COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Okay. Thank you.
MS. BRENNAN: So I'd still like to make a
public comment, and as a member of the public.
BOARD PRESIDENT MATTUSCH: On advice of
counsel -- you have been asked not to, and because you
want to does not make it so.
We respectfully ask that, following
Councilmember Normady's recommendation, you email it,
and it will appear in the record.
MS. BRENNAN: How will it -- will -- How will
it appear in the record?

VICE MAYOR NORMADY: Exactly the way you --
MS. BRENNAN: It's not going to get into the
transcript, and that's why I want to -- it's not going
to get into the video, which is the transparency factor
here.
The public isn't going to be aware of it
because it's not going to be in the meeting video
published on YouTube. It's not going to be in the court
reporter's transcript, so what's happening here is
you're actually stifling a member of the public's
opportunity to make public comment.
I drove here a distance because I wanted to
make a public comment, and I'm being denied that. And I
would like -- my right, as a member of the public, to
make my three-minute public comment.
VICE MAYOR NORMADY: Let me -- Commissioner
Brennan. So I'm going to defer to Steve Mattas, and
then we can get clarification from our city clerk to
ensure that that your email statement is on the record.
MR. MATTAS: We -- we can include the
statement verbatim in -- in the record, so if you can
email it to us, we will include it, and it will be in
there with all comments. So any member of the public
who wishes to look at the minutes, who wishes to look at
the documents associated with this meeting will be able

to see your comments.
MS. BRENNAN: It is going to be in the court
reporter's transcript? I don't see how it could be
because only what's happening at the meeting should be
in the transcript.
MR. MATTAS: The transcript is of the
narrative. I would advise our representatives. I have
no objection to it being in the transcript. We can
include it and incorporate it as an attachment so it
becomes part of the record and be reflected in the
minutes that the commission will -- that the
subcommittee would consider at their next meeting.
VICE MAYOR NORMADY: Okay, you know, I don't
have --
MS. BRENNAN: I don't know if it will be or
not. I would just like to make my comment. That's all
I'm asking is I'd like to make my comment.
BOARD PRESIDENT MATTUSCH: Well, we just
represented to you that -- that it will be, absent
objection from the liaison committee, but it is -- it
will be included, and so --
MS. BRENNAN: Is the committee committing to
make sure that my comment, provided via email regardless
of the length of it, is going to be in the transcript?

attorney, it will be in there verbatim.
COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Well, the thing
you want to submit, not something new after this
meeting. What you have today that you want to comment
on, I'm not willing to accept something that you go off
after this meeting and write, and it's going to be a
five-page document. So whatever you have today that is
within the three minute constraint, I would be happy to
include that in the transcript, but not a thesis on
something else later where we have to waste hundreds of
pages of paper. So if you'd like to --
MS. BRENNAN: So it sounds like I'm being
denied. I'm being denied.
COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: So -- so I'll like
to comment to the chair. I'm willing to accept whatever
the public comment that she has -- Commissioner Brennan
has currently, if she's ready to submit it today, she's
ready to read it, so why can't she just submit it to
this committee and have it put into the transcript?
VICE MAYOR NORMADY: Will you be able to do
that, Commissioner Brennan?
MS. BRENNAN: No. I would like to give me
comment verbally.
COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: Commissioner Normandy,

years, and I think a more clever and resourceful
commissioner might have found an underling to read your
comments, if they be so important, into the record.
But apparently, it has to be your voice. I'm
tired of the gamesmanship, and I'm excusing myself from
the meeting.
MS. BRENNAN: Had I --
BOARD PRESIDENT MATTUSCH: So --
COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: I'm going to
excuse myself too because this is a bunch of games, and
it's actually -- quite frankly, for the record, one
person is not more important than 704- -- 750,000 other
people in this county. So if the commissioner wants to
be selfish and play games, you are doing a disservice to
the rest of the county, not just to this committee.
MS. BRENNAN: All I'm asking to do is make a
three-minute public comment.
COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: So to the
Chairman, I'm going to be excusing myself too.
VICE MAYOR NORMADY: Thank you, Chang Kiraly.
President Mattusch, thank you.
Mike Futrell.
MR. FUTRELL: Well, we had hoped for a
positive endorsement of this draft from the committee.

respective bodies, there will be a staff recommendation
absent a representation from the committee.

and counsel. I'm going to adjourn this meeting.
