3 VICE-MAYOR NORMANDY: So good afternoon. We
4 are going to call the Special Meeting at 2:30 for the
5 City Council/Harbor District Liaison Standing Committee.
6 Can we get a roll call, please?
7 DEPUTY CITY CLERK RODRIGUEZ: Vice-Mayor
8 Normandy?
9 VICE-MAYOR NORMANDY: Here.
10 DEPUTY CITY CLERK RODRIGUEZ: Councilmember
11 Addiego?
12 COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: Here.
13 DEPUTY CITY CLERK RODRIGUEZ: San Mateo County
14 Harbor District Board President Mattusch?

16 DEPUTY CITY CLERK RODRIGUEZ: Commissioner
17 Chang Kiraly?
18 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Here.
19 VICE-MAYOR NORMANDY: Thank you, Gabriel.
20 Any members of the public who would like to
21 speak?
22 AUDIENCE PARTICIPANT: I'd like to. Thank
23 you.
24 I guess I would have just liked to at some
25 point hear it articulated what is good about this
REPORTER'S TRANSCRIPT OF MEETING PROCEEDING'S 04-17-2017
408.275.1122 Uccelli & Associates 650.952.0774 6
1 relationship for the Harbor District.
2 I understand the benefit to the City on lots of
3 levels, but I have not heard anybody explain why this
4 relationship with the JPA between the two of you is a
5 benefit to the Harbor District.
6 It looks like we're a property manager and
7 we're spending our capital on your property. Hopefully
8 that will be explained.
9 Thank you.
10 VICE-MAYOR NORMANDY: Thank you. If we can
11 get your name.
12 AUDIENCE PARTICIPANT: John Olem.
13 VICE-MAYOR NORMANDY: The next item?
14 DEPUTY CLERK RODRIGUEZ: Item 1, motion to
15 approve the minutes from the meeting of April 28, 2016.
16 COUNCILMEMBER NORMANDY: Is there any
17 questions from our Liaison Committee?
18 COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: So the minutes -- I do
19 have a question. Is it important -- as to matters to
20 correct, things like -- I think it's on page 6, it refers
21 to a flat valve or it should say a flat valve.
22 I mean, I guess -- I guess it was a bad
23 television night, so I was --
24 MR. MATTAS: Given that these are -- given
25 that these are transcripts, it's actually important. So
REPORTER'S TRANSCRIPT OF MEETING PROCEEDING'S 04-17-2017
408.275.1122 Uccelli & Associates 650.952.0774 7
1 if Council has specific errors that they would like
2 corrected or want to point out, if they could provide
3 those to us.
4 COMMISSIONER ADDIEGO: Okay. So I believe on
5 page 6, the second paragraph from the bottom, it called
6 for putting in some
7 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Right.
8 COMMISSIONER ADDIEGO: I believe it's flat
9 valves is the correct terminology, the valves that close
10 so that the water doesn't run from the bay on to the
11 land.
12 And then on page 7, staff is currently
13 working -- this is the second paragraph, that we would be
14 consulting with a long-term plan to be submitted by the
15 end of March. I think we had till the end of May --
16 VICE-MAYOR NORMANDY: Right.
17 COMMISSIONER ADDIEGO: -- for the long-term.
18 There is a type also on a CEQA document. I t
19 came out misspelled or something, but I don't remember.
20 I didn't mark the page I was on.
21 MR. MATTAS: So if those are the only changes,
22 we can correct the reference to CEQA and with the two
23 changes that Councilmember Addiego made.
24 COMMISSIONER MATTUSCH: Can I move approval of
25 this?

408.275.1122 Uccelli & Associates 650.952.0774 8
1 COUNCILMEMBER NORMANDY: Thank you,
2 Councilmember Addiego. Is there a second?
3 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: I'll second.
4 VICE-MAYOR NORMANDY: Great. Roll call,
5 please, Gabriel.
6 DEPUTY CLERK RODRIGUEZ: Vice-Mayor Normandy.
7 VICE-MAYOR NORMANDY: Aye.
8 DEPUTY CLERK RODRIGUEZ: Councilmember
9 Addiego?
10 COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: Yes.
11 DEPUTY CLERK RODRIGUEZ: San Mateo County
12 Harbor District Board President Mattusch?
13 BOARD PRESIDENT MATTUSCH: Yes.
14 DEPUTY CLERK RODRIGUEZ: Commissioner Chang
15 Kiraly?
16 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Aye.
17 COUNCILMEMBER NORMANDY: Great. Next item,
18 please.
19 DEPUTY CLERK RODRIGUEZ: Item 2, Study Session
20 on proposed Administrative Amendment to the City of South
21 San Francisco and San Mateo County Harbor District Joint
22 Powers District. Mike Futrell, City Manager and Steve
23 McGrath, District General Manager.
24 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: Good afternoon,
25 Commission members and Vice-Mayor and Councilmember. As
REPORTER'S TRANSCRIPT OF MEETING PROCEEDING'S 04-17-2017
408.275.1122 Uccelli & Associates 650.952.0774 9
1 you know, OPD, Oyster Point Development, is moving
2 forward with the previously approved development at
3 Oyster Point.
4 That was confected or perfected in 2011 and
5 there are three governing documents that deal with that
6 development: The Development Agreement and a -- another
7 agreement that have as its parties OPD, successor
8 agencies to the Redevelopment Authority and the City, and
9 then an MOU between the Harbor District and the City.
10 The purpose of the MOU was to recognize that
11 this development would take place and to forecast how
12 would the Harbor District and the City operate once that
13 development started forward.
14 And in 2011, I think the parties -- everybody
15 involved did the best they could to forecast exactly what
16 circumstances would be like on the ground, if you will,
17 when construction would begin.
18 Well now we have in that point where
19 construction is imminent. We are still planning and
20 hoping to break ground in August, and as we are now in
21 the act of doing what others six years ago merely
22 forecasted, we have found that the agreement needs some
23 tweaking, some defining so that we can continue to
24 operate at a great relationship between the City, between
25 the Harbor District and with the developer so that we all
REPORTER'S TRANSCRIPT OF MEETING PROCEEDING'S 04-17-2017
408.275.1122 Uccelli & Associates 650.952.0774 10
1 succeed in this.
2 So recognizing that staff from both the Harbor
3 District and the City have met numerous times ironing out
4 details, I know staff and the Harbor District has met I
5 think numerous times, Oyster Point Development, as well,
6 the yacht club and others, again all with the same goal
7 that we would go through this massive construction period
8 as easily as possible with the -- the littlest conflict
9 as possible.
10 So we've identified in this Study Session Staff
11 Report an area that we would like to clarify for an
12 amendment to the existing JPA.
13 Principally taking two areas out of the JPA
14 completely and returning those to the City, and those are
15 identified in three maps to the MOU and in the Staff
16 Report as an area designated for hotel site and an area
17 designated for park land or recreation area.
18 Now, it was the intention of the parties in
19 2011 that that would be the case. The document just did
20 not clearly define that.
21 So by taking it out of the JPA, the Harbor
22 District would be relieved of any obligation to operate
23 or maintain those parcels while it -- those obligations
24 would then automatically fall to the City, and then the
25 City would be free to have those areas developed as park
REPORTER'S TRANSCRIPT OF MEETING PROCEEDING'S 04-17-2017
408.275.1122 Uccelli & Associates 650.952.0774 11
1 land and potential future hotel site.
2 From a practical perspective, both of those
3 sites come August will be fenced off and they will be
4 part of a construction site for the larger project, but
5 approximately eighteen months to two years later, that
6 part of the project will be finished.
7 There's a lot of landfill work to take place
8 there, and it would move forward.
9 The other thing it makes clear is that the
10 developer does have the right of access to come on to
11 property which is although owned by the City, is still
12 controlled by the Harbor District and do all of the
13 public amenities work that they promised to do under the
14 development agreement, redoing the bay trail, redoing all
15 the parking lots, redoing the lights and the restrooms.
16 All those things that I think both parties want
17 to happen. This just makes it clear that yes, they do
18 have permission to come on to the site and actually
19 perform that work.
20 It seems intuitive that we would negotiate all
21 those great things that they can do it, but again this
22 wasn't actually articulated in the agreement.
23 Then I would think the third major issue is one
24 that we're still working on jointly, and that is the
25 issue of fuel line and fuel system.
REPORTER'S TRANSCRIPT OF MEETING PROCEEDING'S 04-17-2017
408.275.1122 Uccelli & Associates 650.952.0774 12
1 The MOU and -- from 2011 anticipates that once
2 the land transfer takes place, probably -- slightly in
3 July of this year, the leases known as the King Leases
4 which cover, for example, Drake Marine, those would
5 transfer from OPD to the City, and then there's some
6 really loose language about those being cancelled, but
7 again, it doesn't articulate that.
8 Part of those leases cover fuel lines. Fuel
9 lines -- and I think Steve, you could speak to this if
10 you would, please.
11 It does require work, and we agree and I think
12 it is a very understandable position that the Harbor
13 District does not want to take back the fuel lines unless
14 they're in great shape.
15 We really have no disagreement there, and we
16 can discuss whether Drake Marine did a good job or not,
17 but I think the bottom line is in general we're in
18 agreement that this thing needs work. Somebody should
19 have done it. Now, who should do it?
20 So we're still working that one out, but at
21 least staff to staff, we have an agreement that none of
22 these other issues will move forward until we move -- we
23 determine what to do with the fuel line issue, if I'm
24 correct.
25 So with you today is a proposal that we'd like
REPORTER'S TRANSCRIPT OF MEETING PROCEEDING'S 04-17-2017
408.275.1122 Uccelli & Associates 650.952.0774 13
1 to come back to you, back for your guidance today on this
2 with a more definitive written out amendment to the JPA,
3 assuming you agree with our recommendations, and then
4 from there, they would go to the full body of the Harbor
5 District, full body of the City Council to amend the
6 existing JPA in those three respects: Access to the
7 two -- two sites called out in the MOU, making it clear
8 that yes, the developer can come on to the site and do
9 all those improvements, and then a resolution to the fuel
10 line issue, you know, that is sat -- satisfactory to the
11 Harbor District.
12 I have from day one been clear the City has no
13 interest in operating fuel lines. It's just not part of
14 our core competency, but recognize that it is an
15 essential function for a properly operating marina and
16 certainly support your efforts in that regard.
17 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: Agreed.
18 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: I'm going to shut up
19 and let you follow on.
20 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: Yeah. Thank you,
21 Mike. Mike has I think clearly outlined the issues
22 related to this proposed implement agreement to tidy up
23 some loose ends from the 2011 agreement that were
24 anticipated.
25 We are talking about the fuel line, fuel dock,
REPORTER'S TRANSCRIPT OF MEETING PROCEEDING'S 04-17-2017
408.275.1122 Uccelli & Associates 650.952.0774 14
1 delivery system, tanks and the like, and I do think
2 that -- I appreciate Mike's comment that we don't want to
3 take back at the District and then operate things that
4 haven't been properly maintained.
5 I think maybe in the public safety sector the
6 term essential services, as this is clearly a -- a core
7 component of a proper, well-functioning desirable marina.
8 So I think this is a marina that the City and the
9 District wants to operate.
10 So it's important we get this resolved, and I
11 think that we're working actively and cooperatively to
12 that end, and we look forward to coming back to you with
13 that completed and recommended agreement.
14 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: Okay. I want to turn
15 it over to the Liaison Committee for discussion.
16 BOARD PRESIDENT MATTUSCH: I had -- sorry. Go
17 ahead.
18 COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: Just quick on that
19 fuel line. I concur with Mr. McGrath on the fuel dock
20 being a core complement.
21 At the same time, Oyster Point Cove certainly
22 doesn't have any fuel.
23 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: Correct.
24 COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: And Sierra Point?
25 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: Not that I know.
REPORTER'S TRANSCRIPT OF MEETING PROCEEDING'S 04-17-2017
408.275.1122 Uccelli & Associates 650.952.0774 15
1 Coyote Point would be the --
2 COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: Nearest?
3 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: Closest.
4 COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: Okay. So it -- it
5 seems to be make our even more necessary.
6 COUNCILMEMBER NORMANDY: All right. Tom.
7 COMMISSIONER MATTUSCH: There's a number of
8 docks that were operated by Drake Marine or used by them,
9 and their condition has not got much.
10 The dock where the fuel station is is
11 particularly decrepit. So when we talk about fuel lines,
12 I think that -- could we adopt a meaning that means not
13 only the fuel tank, the fuel lines, the routing all the
14 way out there clear to the fuel dock and all the
15 components that are out on the dock and get clarification
16 that when we're talking about improving all this, we're
17 not talking about one thing and saying, "We left
18 something out. Sorry."
19 But let's make this a complete package that
20 everyone here -- the Liaison Committee, South San
21 Francisco and the Harbor District -- can be very proud
22 of.
23 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: I -- I agree with that.
24 I'll let Steve define that. Because I appreciate that it
25 will be discussed. The underground tank, the line. Then
REPORTER'S TRANSCRIPT OF MEETING PROCEEDING'S 04-17-2017
408.275.1122 Uccelli & Associates 650.952.0774 16
1 there's some sort of headworks.
2 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: Mm-hmm.
3 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: But then actually
4 replacing that entire front dock, putting in a concrete
5 dock.
6 So more than just improving it. Just
7 completely replacing that fuel doc.
8 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: Correct.
9 COMMISSIONER MATTUSCH: Yeah.
10 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: Yeah. The -- the
11 dock where the dispensers are, the dispensers themselves,
12 the fuel lines from the -- back to the water's edge we're
13 looking at one project, and then another project is
14 statutorily required by a date set in the future fuel
15 line from water's edge back to the tank and then the tank
16 itself.
17 And we are very interested in making sure that
18 this all goes forward. Should operation of the facility
19 lapse, it may be a whole different ballgame when it
20 starts to restarting and replacing it.
21 COMMISSIONER MATTUSCH: Just so we don't leave
22 it out, we probably want an MSD pump out there and
23 possibly some sort of a oil change facility, noting that
24 plain old gas engine boats similar to a car, five or six
25 quarts of oil. Diesel vessels, you're talking about
REPORTER'S TRANSCRIPT OF MEETING PROCEEDING'S 04-17-2017
408.275.1122 Uccelli & Associates 650.952.0774 17
1 seven to twelve gallons per engine, and some of the boats
2 have two, and we just want to make sure that our waters
3 are well protected at all times.
4 And when we talk about development of the dock
5 at the end, I don't want to leave any of that out on the
6 permit so that anybody's caught red-faced.
7 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: We've got a pumpout
8 facility on that dock right now.
9 COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: Do we use the term
10 MSD, marine sanitary device, so it's a holding tank for
11 the boats. Still catching up on a naval terms.
12 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: We haven't discussed
13 that specifically, but I don't see an issue.
14 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: No. In the scheme
15 of things, the pumpout facility is a main or component.
16 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: Okay.
17 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: And we also back
18 that up with contracting with BayGreen. I keep looking
19 at John Moren, Director, our operation officer. Bay
20 Green will actually travel vessel to vessel.
21 COUNCILMEMBER NORMANDY: Thank you.
22 Commissioner Chang Kiraly.
23 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: I actually have a
24 few questions, and part of this is probably resulting
25 from the fact that I wasn't on the committee last year,
REPORTER'S TRANSCRIPT OF MEETING PROCEEDING'S 04-17-2017
408.275.1122 Uccelli & Associates 650.952.0774 18
1 but I have had a chance to talk to our general manager
2 and I'm just trying to get an understanding of -- it
3 sounds like, you know, who's really responsible for this
4 now. It sounds like the lessee.
5 Is that correct.
6 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: The obligations are
7 inherent -- are enshrined in the lease, yes.
8 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Okay. And so I'm
9 looking at in terms of the usage of this, and, you know,
10 why -- we actually had this discussion at our Study
11 Session, the Harbor District's Study Session.
12 And a couple of times it was brought up that
13 essential services were -- well, that these -- a fuel
14 dock was needed for central services with regard to the
15 use of the fuel dock by the South San Francisco Fire
16 Department and South San Francisco Police Department.
17 And so I'm just trying to understand what
18 percentage of the use of that is by the two emergency
19 response agencies, and --
20 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: I would say it's going
21 to be zero.
22 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Okay. Well, it
23 was brought up in our meeting. So that was either an
24 incorrect statement or it was a false statement, one of
25 the two.
REPORTER'S TRANSCRIPT OF MEETING PROCEEDING'S 04-17-2017
408.275.1122 Uccelli & Associates 650.952.0774 19
1 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: Certainly it was
2 brought up and certainly both our search and rescue
3 vessel and the District have used that facility, but as
4 we told -- when Chang Kiraly spoke last week, I would
5 agree that it's not the primary use of that facility.
6 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Okay. Okay. So
7 then what -- with this new development coming in, do you
8 see any kind of -- what kind of impact would you see in
9 terms of increased uses of something like this? Is that
10 all?
11 I mean, I don't know. I don't see that, but
12 you may think of something.
13 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: I do.
14 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: You do.
15 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: The entire area, they
16 are projecting to spend over two billion dollars
17 reworking that entire waterfront.
18 I think that will make this marina much more
19 attractive and will bring additional people to the marina
20 where they will work and more likely they will want to
21 keep their boat there.
22 And I think it more likely that -- well, the
23 entire area's just going to get very, very nice.
24 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Well, and so -- so
25 then with the developer, you know, bringing -- and I
REPORTER'S TRANSCRIPT OF MEETING PROCEEDING'S 04-17-2017
408.275.1122 Uccelli & Associates 650.952.0774 20
1 think that the plan and everything has obviously been
2 vetted, it sounds great and we certainly want to support
3 that vision, but I'm just curious as to what would their
4 fair share be in terms of contributing to this knowing
5 that there could be an impact?
6 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: I -- I personally don't
7 see an impact in that way that we would request a traffic
8 impact fee, for example.
9 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Any impact fee.
10 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: I think the impact
11 would be you should have more customers. Right now,
12 there are empty slips out there. I think you're charging
13 too little for them.
14 I think a huge customer base of people with
15 high salaries will now be working at Oyster Point with
16 their office overlooking the marina.
17 They might want to buy a big boat and pay you a
18 lot of money to put their own in your marina. That is
19 the impact I'm talking about.
20 I don't see any negative impact like you will
21 somehow lose money or there will be less likely to have
22 their boats out there.
23 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: So you're seeing
24 this as a revenue generation for the Harbor District or
25 for the --
REPORTER'S TRANSCRIPT OF MEETING PROCEEDING'S 04-17-2017
408.275.1122 Uccelli & Associates 650.952.0774 21
1 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: Well, currently the
2 revenues do go to the Harbor District.
3 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Right, but if --
4 if the developer has a hand in this, wouldn't the
5 revenues be split in some way or -- I'm not sure how --
6 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: Well, we will all enjoy
7 revenue.
8 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Right.
9 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: You, the Harbor
10 District gets property tax.
11 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: No, I understand
12 that.
13 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: It will get two billion
14 dollars in development and raise property taxes for
15 everyone who gets property taxes.
16 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: But what we're
17 doing is -- and I'm not disagreeing, Mike. I -- what I'm
18 saying is -- I'm just trying to -- I'm playing devil's
19 advocate here because what we're also doing is spending
20 tax dollars for something that maybe the Harbor District
21 could maybe benefit from, but I'm just trying to
22 understand how the tax dollars would be invested into
23 something like this.
24 And maybe I'm off base, but --.
25 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: Well, at this point,
REPORTER'S TRANSCRIPT OF MEETING PROCEEDING'S 04-17-2017
408.275.1122 Uccelli & Associates 650.952.0774 22
1 this implementation agreement -- the only thing is
2 administrative with the exception at this point of the
3 necessary work for the fuel system, and that's what the
4 City and the District and certainly the District and OPD
5 are talking about currently.
6 We're not looking at tax dollars going into the
7 fuel system.
8 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Okay. So help me
9 understand how this is going to be funded.
10 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: The --
11 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: I might be
12 confusing some issues.
13 MR. MILLER: And I may be confused. Are you
14 talking about this project as a whole or you're focused
15 on this fuel --
16 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Well, both.
17 MR. MILLER: -- issue?
18 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: I mean, because
19 they're kind of connected, right?
20 MR. MILLER: I'm not sure that that's
21 understood.
22 COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: To satisfy the
23 question as it applies to the fuel dock.
24 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Okay.
25 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: The project as a
REPORTER'S TRANSCRIPT OF MEETING PROCEEDING'S 04-17-2017
408.275.1122 Uccelli & Associates 650.952.0774 23
1 whole --
2 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: But I think we
3 have to look at the macro and the micro picture.
4 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: Well, if we look at
5 the micro, the fuel dock and the lease is very clear that
6 the obligations for operation and maintenance of the fuel
7 dock is the responsibility of the lessee, okay.
8 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Who is -- the
9 Oyster Point OPD, right.
10 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: Yes, and Drake
11 Marine is the sublessee.
12 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Right.
13 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: The macro, and I
14 think -- I think it's referable to the next item, talks
15 about the sources of funds for the big project, what --
16 there is phases in the project costs. That comes out of
17 the development agency, the City's development.
18 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Okay.
19 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: That's not the
20 specifically the fuel line at that point.
21 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: No. That is
22 correct.
23 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: That's a bigger --
24 that's a bigger overall --.
25 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: The fuel line that
REPORTER'S TRANSCRIPT OF MEETING PROCEEDING'S 04-17-2017
408.275.1122 Uccelli & Associates 650.952.0774 24
1 we're talking about --
2 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Right.
3 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: -- is a lease issue
4 and then we've got the development issue, which is
5 separate -- funded separately.
6 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: So I think we -- we are
7 aligned in our hope and belief that OPD is the current
8 leaseholder.
9 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Right.
10 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: OPD would be the one to
11 improve the fuel line and the obligation under the lease.
12 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: So that's
13 where --
14 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: And that source of
15 funding.
16 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: For the specific
17 thing, you would expect that OPD would help fund whatever
18 maintenance -- it's a deferred maintenance issue right
19 now, right?
20 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: There is some debate on
21 that. I think we both -- we agree that for whatever
22 reason, it does require work.
23 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Okay.
24 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: I'm not trying to lay
25 blame except that it is what it is.
REPORTER'S TRANSCRIPT OF MEETING PROCEEDING'S 04-17-2017
408.275.1122 Uccelli & Associates 650.952.0774 25
1 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Right.
2 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: And you want the lease,
3 and therefore, under your obligation as the leaseholder,
4 you should fix it. We're aligned with that.
5 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: Correct.
6 COMMISSIONER MATTUSCH: Just putting the
7 600,000 over the two billion comes out to .003. So we're
8 not -- that's not a large amount.
9 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: No.
10 COUNCILMEMBER NORMANDY: Great. Is there any
11 other comments or suggestions?
12 So I just want to say thank you to both our
13 City Manager Mike Futrell and General Manager Steve
14 McGrath on the continuous conversation and having to
15 bring to -- to us and I think to the individual
16 conversations I've had with Mike that the fuel line, fuel
17 system, fuel dock is essential out there for -- whether
18 those people coming in that don't have access to gas
19 lines.
20 If not trying to look at -- I think we've had
21 these discussions prior. We're looking at Oyster Point
22 Marina, and whether it's full point or just being able to
23 bring those people to our city and also be able to
24 promote an -- other attractions, more so as the new
25 development happens.
REPORTER'S TRANSCRIPT OF MEETING PROCEEDING'S 04-17-2017
408.275.1122 Uccelli & Associates 650.952.0774 26
1 So thank you very much.
2 Moving on to the next item -- oops. Sorry.
3 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: If I could just wrap up
4 from a staff perspective.
5 What I have heard is agreement from the
6 subcommittee that the recommendations are acceptable.
7 Staff will now meet again and turn those into an actual
8 formal amendment to the JPA to discuss the two parcels
9 called out in the maps for the site and the recreational
10 site to allow for that access, the developers to do the
11 improvements required, and we will work out the -- the
12 arrangement of the fuel dock and get that sent back to
13 you again in a formal amendment that you can act on and
14 send to your respective bodies.
15 I would ask that we do that in the next thirty
16 to forty-five days, which would require another meeting
17 of this body, because we do expect the land transfer to
18 happen in approximately July, and at that point, OPD will
19 no longer be the leaseholder, and we need to act in a
20 timely fashion while they are still the leaseholder.
21 COUNCILMEMBER NORMANDY: Thanks, Mike.
22 Mark.
23 COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: I think Mr. McGrath
24 made reference to the tanks, so bringing the tank out of
25 the ground to meet the current daily, you know, rules and
REPORTER'S TRANSCRIPT OF MEETING PROCEEDING'S 04-17-2017
408.275.1122 Uccelli & Associates 650.952.0774 27
1 regs.
2 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: Yes.
3 COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: That is part of it.
4 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: I think it is a single
5 walled tank that --
6 MR. MATTAS: You say when it's required. So
7 ultimately it's part of the solution --
8 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: Right.
9 MR. MATTAS: -- but --.
10 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: And it's currently
11 part of the conversation.
12 MR. MATTAS: Right. So it's not -- there's a
13 time period within which it's required to be brought up.
14 That's what we're looking at.
15 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: Correct.
16 COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: So -- okay. So will
17 it be part of the before -- OPD is no longer responsible.
18 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Well, that's what
19 I -- yeah.
20 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: The agreement will be,
21 although the work may be performed --
22 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: After.
23 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: -- after.
24 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: But they would
25 know that they're still responsible. There's --
REPORTER'S TRANSCRIPT OF MEETING PROCEEDING'S 04-17-2017
408.275.1122 Uccelli & Associates 650.952.0774 28
1 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: If -- if we are
2 successful in our --
3 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Right.
4 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: -- discussions with
5 OPD, that is correct. But either way, we will have --
6 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: And so what if
7 we're not successful? Then --
8 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: We have a couple of
9 other strategies to work with OPD and there are some
10 additional sources of funding that we're working on.
11 If we could kind of keep those cards close to
12 our vest, we would appreciate it, but know that we're not
13 going to come back to you unless we have a good solution
14 that works for the Harbor District.
15 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Okay.
16 COUNCILMEMBER NORMANDY: Anything further?
17 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: So we have to, I
18 guess, figure out based on this timeline when our next
19 meeting also should be at some point.
20 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: Perhaps at the
21 conclusion of this --
22 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Right, right.
23 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: -- meeting.
24 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: I know, I know,
25 but I just want to -- just be mind -- mindful of the fact
REPORTER'S TRANSCRIPT OF MEETING PROCEEDING'S 04-17-2017
408.275.1122 Uccelli & Associates 650.952.0774 29
1 that there is a timing issue here.
2 COUNCILMEMBER NORMANDY: Okay. Gabriel, next
3 item, please.
4 DEPUTY CLERK RODRIGUEZ: Item 3, Study
5 Session on possible new Joint Powers Agreement, Mike
6 Futrell, City Manager and Steve McGrath, District General
7 Manager.
8 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: Thank absolutely.
9 Thank you again committee members, and this is a
10 continuation of the conversation that we have been
11 having.
12 The -- in March 2011 again the City entered
13 into an agreement with the Harbor District. We talked
14 about that, and in February of this year, in furtherance
15 of the goal of what do we do in -- when we started this
16 conversation at the last meeting, It was ten years, now
17 nine years, what do we do in nine years.
18 Our board -- Council has discussed this -- met
19 and discussed direction to staff and the committee to
20 work with the Joint Committee and City Staff on an
21 updated agreement.
22 Whether that's in the same form as a JPA, maybe
23 it's something else, but -- but an agreement that looks
24 at clarifying roles and responsibilities going forward.
25 And the staff jointly recognized the 1977
REPORTER'S TRANSCRIPT OF MEETING PROCEEDING'S 04-17-2017
408.275.1122 Uccelli & Associates 650.952.0774 30
1 agreement that's something to be desired in that regard.
2 So regardless of the timeframe, we'd like very
3 much to receive direction to keep moving in the form of a
4 development of a new agreement that clarifies those roles
5 and responsibilities.
6 Of course the -- the elephant in the room,
7 though, is 2026 and what happens after that point, and
8 currently the District certainly has a five-year capital
9 improvement fund as far as our 2016-17 budget and we're
10 working for one for the '17-'18 budget and beyond, but
11 looks at some of the dock issues that we would like to
12 look at there, and how does that pencil out in the long
13 run.
14 We would very much like to -- regardless again
15 clarifying roles and responsibilities as to that. We
16 look to add pending economic analysis if the agreement --
17 an agreement between the District and the City -- for the
18 District to operate the marina goes forward and the
19 desired level of capital investment be made, then that
20 term be commensurate with the investment and vice versa
21 with the investment being commensurate with the terms of
22 the agreement.
23 I think that if we were to pencil it out all
24 the way to the point where all docks have been replaced,
25 I think the logical term would be a 49-year agreement
REPORTER'S TRANSCRIPT OF MEETING PROCEEDING'S 04-17-2017
408.275.1122 Uccelli & Associates 650.952.0774 31
1 given that was the original term off the original
2 agreement in 1977.
3 AUDIENCE PARTICIPANT: Steve, we're having
4 trouble hearing you. Could you speak up a little bit.
5 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: Yes. The 1977 was
6 for a 49-year term, and if we were to extend out to a
7 replacement of all docks, it would seem logical that a
8 49-year term might be the term to look at there.
9 I think that the -- the synopsis of the
10 discussions that the respective staffs have been having
11 is contained in Attachment B to the staff report, and
12 this is very clearly a synopsis, bullet points, and our
13 attempt at trying to figure out how to construct and
14 draft that agreement, water side to the District, land
15 side is the City west of the ferry terminal, the District
16 east of the ferry terminal.
17 Clearly part of the reason that we need to
18 refine this agreement is because some of the terms in the
19 '77 Agreement were vague.
20 When we get to this point, we will do surveys
21 and we will have bright lines that clearly define where
22 the O&M responsibilities and management responsibilities
23 to the respective parties begin and end.
24 Under Term 2, Operations and Maintenance, just
25 as a clarification, if it says: "District to O&M, water
REPORTER'S TRANSCRIPT OF MEETING PROCEEDING'S 04-17-2017
408.275.1122 Uccelli & Associates 650.952.0774 32
1 side Marina," that's District operate and maintain, and
2 so you can see how we've got a -- a dock and ramp
3 landings.
4 This is a particularly interesting definition
5 or perspective. We know that the dock and landings will
6 be will need to be adjusted, anyway, as a part of the
7 work that OPD is doing as the land site elevation is
8 increased.
9 We recognize that if such a split is to occur,
10 that it's the District on this side of the line and the
11 City on this side of the line, there are restroom
12 facilities on both sides of that line. There are open
13 spaces, vegetated areas on both sides of that line.
14 Does it make sense for both the City and the
15 District to have maintenance, janitorial crews doing
16 restrooms? Does it make sense for both the City and the
17 District to have landscaping crews? No, it doesn't,
18 really.
19 So we would have a separate agreement -- we
20 would have a separate agreement tied to the new agreement
21 that would define those responsibilities, define the
22 costs allocated for those responsibilities and share
23 those responsibilities.
24 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: So Steve, just so
25 that I'm clear, this map that is Attachment C is going to
REPORTER'S TRANSCRIPT OF MEETING PROCEEDING'S 04-17-2017
408.275.1122 Uccelli & Associates 650.952.0774 33
1 be aligned the Attachment B; is that correct.
2 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: Correct.
3 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Okay. Just so --
4 so everyone on the committee knows.
5 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: Correct.
6 Under Item 3 in the possible terms, we talk
7 about the capital improvements. These came straight out
8 of the approved or proposed five-year capital improvement
9 plans.
10 I think it's maintenance continues. That's an
11 ongoing obligation to anyone who operates any sort of
12 facility, that you maintain that.
13 If you start losing too much water depth, we're
14 obviously out of business, and in the last five years,
15 the IP the District put forward, we had them look beyond
16 2022, what it might take at that point.
17 The -- Item 4 separated out -- because we know
18 from our earlier discussion, the fuel dock, fuel lines
19 are an issue.
20 So we're trying to define some of the terms
21 there and some of the end state conditions that we will
22 hopefully negotiate towards.
23 5 is Sea Level Rise and Landfill, and the City
24 is taking responsibility for -- responsibility for
25 protecting the land side against sea level rise and
REPORTER'S TRANSCRIPT OF MEETING PROCEEDING'S 04-17-2017
408.275.1122 Uccelli & Associates 650.952.0774 34
1 responsibility for any of the effects or impacts of
2 landfill subsidence.
3 The length of the JPA or whatever the --
4 whatever we may call the future agreement, again, we
5 talked about a 49-year term consistent with the original
6 terms, and sufficient to adequately ensure the District
7 internal investment for any of the capital improvements
8 made and consistent with any economic analysis that the
9 District does.
10 Governance again is very clear. It's the City
11 Council and the District Board of Commissioner's
12 responsibility for governance, and in that agreement,
13 regardless of the term of that agreement, to recognize
14 that future land use planning is -- is -- as per the 2011
15 MOU, the Phase IC and 2C, that already is a part of the
16 City's General Plan. The Oyster Point Specific Plan, as
17 well.
18 There's a listing of the committed land uses
19 that we're looking at, the O Club, the maintenance
20 facility, the Harbor Master's office, so on and so forth
21 and a memorialization again of the 40,000 square feet of
22 district commercial related uses, district office space,
23 boat ramp, so on and so forth.
24 The City is embarking on a Master Planning
25 Program for the area as a whole, and maybe Mike would
REPORTER'S TRANSCRIPT OF MEETING PROCEEDING'S 04-17-2017
408.275.1122 Uccelli & Associates 650.952.0774 35
1 like to speak more to this.
2 I think we discussed it very briefly with the
3 committee and it's an opportunity there for the District
4 to weigh in on some of those discussions, as well, as we
5 go forward.
6 That will be something that will be coming back
7 to the Harbor District Board of Commissioners.
8 If there's anything to add?
9 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: Yes. First recognize
10 this is a Study Session and the beginning of the
11 conversation.
12 Unlike the first item where we need an
13 amendment to the existing JPA at a certain point because
14 we have those obligations, this one is not time
15 constrained, and please recognize that Steve McGrath and
16 myself are also operating at the direction of our
17 respective governing boards.
18 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: Yes.
19 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: Both boards have had
20 Study Sessions and have received direction to explore a
21 new JPA with potentially longer term.
22 I know that the City Council has had at least
23 three Study Sessions, one in particular September of
24 2015, where they consciously said we will not join in the
25 parade seeking dissolution of the Harbor District, but
REPORTER'S TRANSCRIPT OF MEETING PROCEEDING'S 04-17-2017
408.275.1122 Uccelli & Associates 650.952.0774 36
1 would instead like to negotiate with the Harbor District
2 to renew our vows, if you will, and find a better working
3 relationship.
4 And so it was in that spirit that Steve and I
5 and a lot of staff have met over the last number of
6 months to try to hammer out what might those terms look
7 like.
8 I do think there is a policy decision that
9 still rests in your hands and the hands of the boards and
10 that is why would we want to do this, why Council has
11 voiced that operation of a harbor is not one of our core
12 competencies, yet it is one of the Harbor District's core
13 competencies and believe to be their mission is a
14 countywide Harbor District. Operating harbors is what
15 you do. That's your governing mission.
16 Then there's the more practical part from the
17 City side, and I think that that will bear this out, that
18 it is a profitable enterprise and it can with the plan
19 that's been laid out by the Harbor District, through its
20 capital improvements, actually be a money-maker for the
21 Harbor District.
22 So I know my staff believes this is a positive
23 relationship for us in the future if we can work out the
24 right terms and we keep things in the right spirit, that
25 we're trying to find a solution here.
REPORTER'S TRANSCRIPT OF MEETING PROCEEDING'S 04-17-2017
408.275.1122 Uccelli & Associates 650.952.0774 37
1 So, you know, we can as a group go through each
2 one of these individually or we appeal to you and I don't
3 know if you want to discuss the larger issue of how to
4 operate in the future, but these would be the kind of in-
5 the-weed bones that we recommend if we are to proceed
6 with this relationship.
7 AUDIENCE PARTICIPANT: I have a point of
8 order.
9 COUNCILMEMBER NORMANDY: So can I ask a
10 question?
11 AUDIENCE PARTICIPANT: I'd like to make a
12 point of order, and that is that
13 COUNCILMEMBER NORMANDY: I'm going to --
14 AUDIENCE PARTICIPANT: Excuse me. I'd just
15 like to make a point of order. The Board of Harbor
16 Commissioners did not vote to approve moving forward with
17 designing a new JPA, but instead what they did was
18 approve moving forward with an agreement.
19 COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: Commissioner Bryan,
20 you're out of order, and --
21 AUDIENCE PARTICIPANT: If anyone can make --
22 COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: -- your speaking off
23 the floor is a violation of the Brown Act because there's
24 too many people here present from the San Mateo County
25 Harbor District.
REPORTER'S TRANSCRIPT OF MEETING PROCEEDING'S 04-17-2017
408.275.1122 Uccelli & Associates 650.952.0774 38
1 AUDIENCE PARTICIPANT: Anyone can --
2 COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: I'm going to --
3 AUDIENCE PARTICIPANT: -- make a point of
4 order.
5 COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: -- to ask you to sit
6 down.
7 AUDIENCE PARTICIPANT: I was making a point of
8 order.
9 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Through the Chair,
10 I have one quick question, just a --
11 COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: Okay.
12 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: -- very specific
13 question regarding the -- the space.
14 We have the 40,000 square foot of -- of
15 District commercial space. This is under Term 8, and we
16 also have had additional -- well, it says 3,600 square
17 feet of dis -- for the District office.
18 Is that going to be included in the 40,000? So
19 that we've got 36,400 for commercial space use or is it
20 in addition to, so it would be 43,600.
21 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: Those are enumerated
22 separately in --
23 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Right.
24 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: -- the 2011
25 agreement.
REPORTER'S TRANSCRIPT OF MEETING PROCEEDING'S 04-17-2017
408.275.1122 Uccelli & Associates 650.952.0774 39
1 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: I agree. Those
2 would --
3 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Okay.
4 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: -- be in addition to.
5 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Okay. So -- so
6 the only reason I ask is there's a little piece of land
7 that kind of goes out where the current Harbor Master's
8 office is and -- and it looks like based on Attachment C,
9 this map that said it's going to revert back to the City.
10 Is that correct?
11 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: That is an area we need
12 to discuss.
13 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Okay.
14 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: That is an area where
15 we've engaged engineers to give us an answer of what is
16 happening out there.
17 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Okay.
18 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: And why at times at
19 King tide is there water coming up over that area and to
20 design a solution.
21 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Right.
22 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: To cost that out for
23 us.
24 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Okay. So that was
25 the reason for my question. I understand what the JP
REPORTER'S TRANSCRIPT OF MEETING PROCEEDING'S 04-17-2017
408.275.1122 Uccelli & Associates 650.952.0774 40
1 said, but just based on this map, it looks different from
2 what I understood.
3 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: That is an area that we
4 have debated quite a bit, and my recommendation to my
5 Council, depending upon the cost, if hypothetically we
6 have to put, say, three to five million dollars into that
7 area to shore it up in whatever way is required to
8 protect it against sea level rise, I think we as a city
9 would prefer then it become some public use like a park
10 or an overlook or a nature center where that three to
11 five million of City tax dollars could actually go back
12 to the public at large as opposed to having a parking lot
13 and a Harbor Master's office that may not be the highest
14 and best use.
15 But I will say that because we don't have the
16 engineering study, we don't have the cost study, that is
17 still an open issue, recognizing there must be a Harbor
18 Master's office somewhere out there in the correct
19 location, and this may or may not be the right location.
20 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Okay. Thank you.
21 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: But it's still being --
22 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Discussed.
23 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: -- worked on. That's a
24 hard issue.
25 COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: Madam Chair, I think
REPORTER'S TRANSCRIPT OF MEETING PROCEEDING'S 04-17-2017
408.275.1122 Uccelli & Associates 650.952.0774 41
1 taking a cue from Commissioner Kiraly, I think I'd like
2 to have the macro discussion to some degree on the length
3 of the term --
4 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Right.
5 COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: -- of -- of a new JPA.
6 Because I think I concur with someone who's
7 speaking from the floor in that I'm not certain that the
8 City Council was looking at forty-nine additional years.
9 It's a wonderful thing to be able to cost out
10 your improvements, but then ultimately in 2075 when the
11 City receives Oyster Point back, it could be in worse
12 condition than it is today depending on the commitment,
13 the long-term commitment.
14 So --
15 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Yeah. I -- I
16 agree with that, Mark. So looking at Term 6 --
17 COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: Uh-huh.
18 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Yeah. Length of
19 the JPA.
20 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: If I can add from
21 staff, our thinking really was if you're going to invest
22 right now a total of nineteen -- roughly nineteen million
23 dollars, if I'm reading that -- sixteen million, that
24 there would be enough time for the Harbor District to
25 recover that investment.
REPORTER'S TRANSCRIPT OF MEETING PROCEEDING'S 04-17-2017
408.275.1122 Uccelli & Associates 650.952.0774 42
1 However, how long that is, we're not sure, but
2 it does make sense that if you invest that kind of money,
3 you will need time to recoup those revenues plus some.
4 COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: If it takes fifty
5 years, it's not a good investment on the front end.
6 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: Right.
7 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: I'd also say, too,
8 that it takes some time to invest those funds. We
9 don't feel that -- it's not the same with docks one and
10 two, I don't believe so, but looking forward, we know
11 that at some point in the future, we will need to go
12 through docks one through six, as well.
13 COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: Right.
14 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: So it's not sixteen
15 million invested next year. It's over time.
16 COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: So we can -- we can
17 join together and -- and, you know, discuss this on an
18 ongoing basis. I think we need to put all of our heads
19 together.
20 Or ultimately with a 49-year agreement, we're
21 just reenacting what's already occurred.
22 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Right.
23 COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: So we're pushing it
24 off so far that it's, you know, for another generation or
25 two to make the big determination.
REPORTER'S TRANSCRIPT OF MEETING PROCEEDING'S 04-17-2017
408.275.1122 Uccelli & Associates 650.952.0774 43
1 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: So Mark, what
2 timeframe do you think would be --
3 COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: I need --
4 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: -- satisfactory?
5 COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: -- to understand
6 the -- the dollars --
7 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: That's what --
8 COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: -- much better.
9 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: -- I'm thinking,
10 yeah.
11 COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: Exactly.
12 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: There are no
13 financials in this report.
14 COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: Right.
15 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: I agree.
16 COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: For both sides to
17 understand what they're committing to.
18 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: Again, from a staff
19 perspective, they feed each other. The dollars and the
20 term and the term and the dollars. They have to work
21 together. It may be true to say that from staff
22 perspective, no longer than the conversation.
23 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: No longer than the
24 forty-nine years?
25 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: Yeah.
REPORTER'S TRANSCRIPT OF MEETING PROCEEDING'S 04-17-2017
408.275.1122 Uccelli & Associates 650.952.0774 44
1 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: That's a long
2 time. I mean, because even our -- our forty years in,
3 it's already an obsolete JPA.
4 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: Agreed.
5 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: And so --
6 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: We want to certainly
7 do the best job possible on any agreement, and then if
8 that agreement has to work for both sides financially --
9 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: When none of us
10 are left.
11 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: Operationally.
12 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: When none of us
13 are going to be here in this room discussing this.
14 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: That is correct.
15 COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: You know, I think it's
16 like from the City side, as soon as it's making, you
17 know, the big dollars, I want it back.
18 Pretty --
19 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: I mean --
20 COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: -- simple, right?
21 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: -- it's obvious.
22 It would be the same for the Harbor District.
23 COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: Right, right.
24 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: That's why I would
25 like to see some time. I mean, the only financials here
REPORTER'S TRANSCRIPT OF MEETING PROCEEDING'S 04-17-2017
408.275.1122 Uccelli & Associates 650.952.0774 45
1 is that capital improvements section, which is ninety
2 million dollarsish based on our investment for this next
3 five years, so -- and seven million dollars beyond --
4 2022 and beyond.
5 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: I will also point out
6 that the City has engaged the economic firm of Keyser
7 Marston to run those numbers, and looking at the proposed
8 capital improvements and when they would come on, and
9 then the scenarios of higher occupancy and proportional
10 fees with those facilities, how would those dollars work.
11 So I think we will have those ready for you at
12 another meeting.
13 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: At the next
14 meeting in thirty to forty-five days?
15 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: I don't know that.
16 This one again is not as time constrained. But they've
17 already been engaged by the City.
18 One point is that I will raise that we've
19 raised from the City side, making the Harbor District
20 comfortable, using the City's expert with the Harbor
21 District would peer review those numbers, but just know
22 that that work -- we recognize that it's not here today.
23 We recognize that -- that if you were going
24 forward and you invest these kinds of dollars, you will
25 recoup those dollars, and we will -- we also recognize
REPORTER'S TRANSCRIPT OF MEETING PROCEEDING'S 04-17-2017
408.275.1122 Uccelli & Associates 650.952.0774 46
1 that we need to get you those -- those numbers --
2 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Financials.
3 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: -- for you to have what
4 you need to make a good decision.
5 COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: So recouping the
6 dollars is important, but at the same time, as long as
7 the JPA goes on, then the property tax dollars to some
8 extent are shared as opposed to reverting to the coast.
9 So we --
10 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Right. So I
11 mean --
12 COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: Ultimately that's a
13 big factor in this, too.
14 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Yeah.
15 COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: Not just recouping an
16 investment, but looking forward, if there is a light at
17 the end of the long --
18 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Tunnel.
19 COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: Yeah, and -- and --
20 and the City has the ability to operate the marina or
21 look for another partner and is willing to release the
22 Harbor District.
23 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: After we put --
24 after we've put in about sixteen million --
25 COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: Sure.
REPORTER'S TRANSCRIPT OF MEETING PROCEEDING'S 04-17-2017
408.275.1122 Uccelli & Associates 650.952.0774 47
1 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: -- dollars
2 COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: Because -- because
3 when you release whatever those tax dollars were --
4 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Well, they'd have
5 to be broken out, too, right?
6 COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: Right.
7 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Between enterprise
8 and public funds --
9 COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: Right.
10 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: -- which -- that's
11 what I'm saying is that the financials are not here for
12 us to even look at that breakout.
13 I mean, if you look at the macro macro picture,
14 Mark, there could be a benefit to the rest of the town in
15 terms of jobs.
16 There -- there -- those are the easy things to
17 look at, but the dollars and cents are just not here --
18 COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: Right.
19 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: -- I don't think
20 for us to make a decision now.
21 COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: No, no. I don't think
22 so, either. We can gather up some of that data.
23 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Yeah.
24 COMMISSIONER MATTUSCH: I haven't heard
25 anybody mention the yacht club lately. I don't think
REPORTER'S TRANSCRIPT OF MEETING PROCEEDING'S 04-17-2017
408.275.1122 Uccelli & Associates 650.952.0774 48
1 that's something on the property management issues on the
2 coast. We're only talking about Oyster Point here, but
3 then it doesn't make sense to have a facility that pays
4 $300 a month and that runs a bar and a restaurant, and I
5 don't know in this Development Agreement how we can
6 potentially reformulate something and say you know what?
7 We need new agreements because we're developing entirely
8 new project and it's not the same old group of agreements
9 we had before.
10 So at some point, I think that that's one of
11 the very sore points. The Harbor District's been
12 criticized in the past about property management issued.
13 The elephant in the room on this side is that a yacht
14 club and how much they pay for rent.
15 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: And that would be
16 under -- based on Attachment C under the jurisdiction of
17 the City; correct.
18 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: No.
19 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: No?
20 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: The District.
21 COMMISSIONER MATTUSCH: Correct.
22 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: And being cognizant
23 of the fact --
24 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Because I was
25 looking at the land, okay.
REPORTER'S TRANSCRIPT OF MEETING PROCEEDING'S 04-17-2017
408.275.1122 Uccelli & Associates 650.952.0774 49
1 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: Being cognizant of
2 the fact that the District does have in place a long-term
3 agreement and lease with the yacht club.
4 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Oh, here.
5 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: Certainly as we look
6 down the road, if a developer were to say to the yacht
7 club "Hey, tell you what. Give us this and we'll build
8 you a nice new facility somewhere," then I think the
9 conversation will be much like we're having here.
10 How does that pencil for us? Do we get a nice
11 new facility? We're going to pay for rent. How does
12 that work?
13 But at this point, we have to be aware of the
14 fact that the yacht club has a lease that has a number of
15 years left on it.
16 COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: Roughly can you share
17 with us?
18 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Yeah, I can't
19 remember.
20 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: Do you remember
21 John? I know when initially executed, it was twenty-five
22 with a twenty-five option. I believe it was renewed six
23 or seven years ago.
24 COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: All right.
25 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: So it's got a ways
REPORTER'S TRANSCRIPT OF MEETING PROCEEDING'S 04-17-2017
408.275.1122 Uccelli & Associates 650.952.0774 50
1 to go.
2 COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: Is there an escalator
3 with the rent?
4 COMMISSIONER MATTUSCH: No.
5 COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: Wow.
6 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: I was going to say
7 we are looking at that lease fairly closely right now.
8 COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: But it's $300 every
9 month, right?
10 COMMISSIONER MATTUSCH: Yeah.
11 COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: There you go.
12 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: Opportunities for
13 enhancing that revenue are improbable under the terms of
14 the existing lease, and we are constrained by that lease.
15 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: But there -- there's
16 nothing in the Development Agreement that changes that at
17 all, and one of the reasons it's left on the Harbor
18 District's side of the line is because there is a long-
19 term lease with the Harbor District.
20 Then we as the City and I don't know if the
21 Harbor District pretty much can't get out of it.
22 Perhaps I could talk a moment about how we came
23 up with the land split.
24 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Mm-hmm.
25 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: There were -- there
REPORTER'S TRANSCRIPT OF MEETING PROCEEDING'S 04-17-2017
408.275.1122 Uccelli & Associates 650.952.0774 51
1 have been discussions just loosely with Council in their
2 Study Session that the City would take the land side and
3 operate the parks and the land side. We do that, and the
4 Harbor District will do what it usually does best, which
5 is maintain the marinas and the harbor.
6 As we actually got to the map and looked,
7 almost everything on this map that is shown as the
8 District is required for operation of the marina.
9 So you have the yacht club, you have the
10 maintenance area, you've got the boat ramp and the
11 associated parking, the parking which supports the marina
12 and then you have the 40,000 square feet which is
13 promised to the Harbor District for your future
14 development, whatever that is.
15 So pretty much that entire end is Harbor
16 District by design, and so it just didn't make sense for
17 the City to take that -- in fact, it's all yours.
18 Now, we have had discussions, but it also
19 doesn't sense for us both to be out there doing
20 maintenance, and we would come up with a shared
21 maintenance agreement that works for both of us to save
22 money and have one crew out there maintaining the entire
23 area.
24 But that's how we came up with the split. With
25 further discussions to center around the point where the
REPORTER'S TRANSCRIPT OF MEETING PROCEEDING'S 04-17-2017
408.275.1122 Uccelli & Associates 650.952.0774 52
1 Harbor District or rather the Harbor Master's office is.
2 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Right.
3 COUNCILMEMBER NORMANDY: Thank you, Mike. Any
4 questions for the committee?
5 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: Well, is the committee
6 comfortable with us proceeding along these geographic
7 lines?
8 What we will do is take these back today and
9 just continue working and just drill a little more deeply
10 and start crafting some practical written documents for
11 you to react to.
12 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: When you say
13 geographic lines, you're talking about the maps in
14 Attachment C?
15 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: Attachment C, correct.
16 AUDIENCE PARTICIPANT: Excuse me. As a member
17 of the public, can I make a comment?
18 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: It's up to the Chair.
19 AUDIENCE PARTICIPANT: Since this is a Study
20 Session.
21 COUNCILMEMBER NORMANDY: Give me one moment.
22 Let me close up the -- the discussion with the committee
23 first and I'll just come are right back to you.
24 AUDIENCE PARTICIPANT: Before you make a
25 commitment, I'd like to make a comment.
REPORTER'S TRANSCRIPT OF MEETING PROCEEDING'S 04-17-2017
408.275.1122 Uccelli & Associates 650.952.0774 53
1 COUNCILMEMBER NORMANDY: We're not making a
2 commitment. This is a Study Session. Let me just
3 clarify with the committee.
4 Is there any comments or questions --
5 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: No.
6 COUNCILMEMBER NORMANDY: -- from the
7 committee?
8 COMMISSIONER MATTUSCH: You know, I come back
9 to the fuel dock itself, but Mr. Moren has a license to
10 operate vessels and I do -- when I get fuel many times, I
11 might need a five gallon bucket of oil or something.
12 So in the planning and enhancement of that fuel
13 dock, is there any -- has anyone given thought to a small
14 two 400 square foot building --
15 COUNCILMEMBER NORMANDY: Shop.
16 COMMISSIONER MATTUSCH: -- that would have a
17 small shop-type thing, oil, maintenance? What does a
18 boater need when you pulls up?
19 We've lost our local West Marine. We don't
20 have the 40,000 square foot building yet.
21 Fuel is one thing. Where -- where's the guy
22 going to go get oil?
23 So just -- I'm not asking for it now. I just
24 want to put it out there that at some point we should
25 recognize that gas and oil are not the only two things
REPORTER'S TRANSCRIPT OF MEETING PROCEEDING'S 04-17-2017
408.275.1122 Uccelli & Associates 650.952.0774 54
1 that are requisite to operating a vessel.
2 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: So I have a quick
3 question through the Chair.
4 COUNCILMEMBER NORMANDY: Go ahead, Virginia.
5 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Has your City
6 Council approved this Attachment C map configuration?
7 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: No, they have --
8 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Because our --
9 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: They have not.
10 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: -- board has not.
11 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: This is the first
12 public outing of this concept. We came to this committee
13 first.
14 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Okay.
15 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: And if we're able to
16 work out some sort of agreement through multiple meetings
17 to where you are comfortable moving it to the larger
18 body, then you will recommend doing so at that time.
19 I -- I personally think it's a little premature
20 and we're just getting your initial reactions today.
21 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Thank you for
22 those comments.
23 COUNCILMEMBER NORMANDY: Anything, Mark?
24 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: Let me point out one
25 nuance, and that would be under Item 2F, recognizing that
REPORTER'S TRANSCRIPT OF MEETING PROCEEDING'S 04-17-2017
408.275.1122 Uccelli & Associates 650.952.0774 55
1 whatever the term is, business conditions may change over
2 the course of that term.
3 So we are recommending a second agreement which
4 will be much shorter which would contain the business
5 terms, and that would give this committee and the boards
6 at a minimum every five years, but perhaps earlier, to
7 revisit the cost of maintenance, the economy and change
8 the business terms of the agreement.
9 I do think as smart as both of us are, Steve,
10 it would be hard for us to protect something which we can
11 guarantee will be working properly four years from now.
12 So there is kind of a back door for common
13 sense to allow the bodies to adjust as necessary
14 periodically throughout the term.
15 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Right. So that
16 would be the shared cost agreement. That's the F --
17 that's 2F, right?
18 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: Right.
19 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Which I -- you had
20 mentioned would be kind of separate, anyway, which
21 would -- I'm assuming would be shorter than the fifty
22 years, right?
23 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: Yes. Because we say --
24 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: That's what you
25 just said.
REPORTER'S TRANSCRIPT OF MEETING PROCEEDING'S 04-17-2017
408.275.1122 Uccelli & Associates 650.952.0774 56
1 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: -- at least every five
2 years. We could make it --
3 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Yeah.
4 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: -- every three years
5 where we will sit down and revisit the business terms and
6 make sure they're still working for both bodies. And not
7 just -- the vagaries of the economy we just don't know.
8 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: Or at least have a
9 trigger if not a specific term at least every five years
10 or if a certain trigger occurs that we could revisit
11 based on changing conditions in operation operations and
12 maintenance.
13 COUNCILMEMBER NORMANDY: Thank you.
14 So I'm going to allow the public. Can --
15 introduce yourself and comment.
16 MS. SLATER-CARTER: Thank you. Kathryn
17 Slater-Carter. I -- I live in Montara, so
18 unincorporated. I am on the Montara Water and Sanitary
19 District Board and on the Sewer Authority Mid-Coastside
20 and I'm speaking as an individual here.
21 But my experience has -- as I see some issues
22 here.
23 One, Sewer Guardian on the Coastside is on JPA
24 with an equal number of votes distributed among three
25 entities. So one entity has two votes and -- or four
REPORTER'S TRANSCRIPT OF MEETING PROCEEDING'S 04-17-2017
408.275.1122 Uccelli & Associates 650.952.0774 57
1 votes and the other two entities have between them four
2 votes.
3 This year, SAM has suffered some major sanitary
4 spills because the agenc -- the agency that has the four
5 votes received -- refused to put any money into
6 maintaining our central interpipe pipeline system.
7 You need to have some kind of tie breaker or
8 something written into your JPA about maintenance and
9 repair needing to happen such that it doesn't leave the
10 JPA with -- at any risk for a breakdown.
11 I'm thinking of the fuel dock, for instance, or
12 other things. There's just -- I can't foresee forty-nine
13 years from now.
14 The -- so that's -- I think is something you
15 seriously need to consider.
16 The other is I'm looking at Attachment C, and
17 in looking at the black hashmarks, I see a red flashing
18 neon sign that says Romeo Pier.
19 I don't see easy land access for the Harbor
20 District for what is going to be asked to maintain in
21 good repair the way this map is set up, and I think that
22 needs to be reconsidered.
23 The Harbor District is already suffering from
24 an agreement from years past in which they got a pier
25 with no access to it.
REPORTER'S TRANSCRIPT OF MEETING PROCEEDING'S 04-17-2017
408.275.1122 Uccelli & Associates 650.952.0774 58
1 So I think that needs to be seriously worked
2 into this agreement. I'm sure there will be others and I
3 look forward to attending these, but those are what jump
4 up to me first.
5 If you want to have a good JPA, these kinds of
6 things need to be worked at and I think that having these
7 study sessions is very valuable.
8 Thank you.
9 COUNCILMEMBER NORMANDY: All right. Thank
10 you.
11 Any closing comments from this committee and/or
12 Mike Futrell and Steve McGrath?
13 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Can I ask one
14 quick question? So it sounds like the fuel dock issue is
15 really more time sensitive than all this other stuff.
16 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: Yes.
17 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: So that's going to
18 basically be Term 4 on this sheet, right?
19 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: That will have been
20 resolved by the time we get to --
21 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: This year.
22 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: Yeah.
23 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: So then -- so do
24 we want to work on some of these things in terms of terms
25 in tandem or do you want to wait until after the fuel
REPORTER'S TRANSCRIPT OF MEETING PROCEEDING'S 04-17-2017
408.275.1122 Uccelli & Associates 650.952.0774 59
1 dock thing gets resolved with OPD?
2 And I'm thinking specifically about 2F, the
3 shared cost agreement. I mean, not that there'd be any
4 set terms or firmed up terms, but things that you all are
5 discussing during this time.
6 I'm assuming that it's happening now or --
7 because I kind of think that a lot of this has to come to
8 our governing boards, too, before any -- obviously this
9 is a Study Session and no decisions are going to be made
10 here.
11 So -- but I just want to kind of get a sense of
12 where staff is discussing in terms of overlap based on
13 Attachment B.
14 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: The -- well -- and
15 speaking specifically -- Mike can jump in if I get this
16 wrong, but 2F, we have talked about that. We've talked
17 about --
18 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: In the last
19 meeting, you all talked about possible shared cost.
20 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: Right, and -- and we
21 have been talking at -- in preparation for this meeting
22 about wanting to avoid duplication of effort or
23 redundancy.
24 COUNCILMEMBER NORMANDY: Right.
25 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: Basically to be as
REPORTER'S TRANSCRIPT OF MEETING PROCEEDING'S 04-17-2017
408.275.1122 Uccelli & Associates 650.952.0774 60
1 efficient as we can in the operation and maintenance of
2 the entire site, recognizing that some of the functions
3 on both sides of the right line are duplicate. There is
4 grass on one side, there is grass on the other.
5 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Right.
6 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: Restrooms on one
7 side and restrooms on the other. How can we avoid
8 duplication of effort and -- and make the maintenance of
9 those as efficient as possible?
10 We've agreed on a staff level that that's a
11 desirable goal outcome. We haven't gone much further
12 than that at this point.
13 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: I -- I think it -- it
14 will be part of the economic study between now and moving
15 forward more robustly, because understanding the O&M to
16 be part of the puzzle to understand profitability --
17 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Right.
18 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: -- out there.
19 So we will have much deeper discussions. Where
20 we were at this point is --
21 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: When you say "we,"
22 you mean your -- your staff and our staff and --
23 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: Correct.
24 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: -- OPD somehow?
25 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: Again, this is not an
REPORTER'S TRANSCRIPT OF MEETING PROCEEDING'S 04-17-2017
408.275.1122 Uccelli & Associates 650.952.0774 61
1 area --
2 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Okay. I just
3 wanted --
4 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: So it's just the two of
5 us, but this is really as far as we've gotten, this
6 general understanding that yes, we must work together and
7 we have taken a stab at what we might look at, which is
8 basically the District doing the bathrooms and the
9 showers, and the showers in particular are used by the
10 little boats and other boaters.
11 But we will work this out as part of the
12 economics of -- I think that will come to you with the
13 economics, and then if you agree, then we can later put
14 that into an actual MOU.
15 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Okay.
16 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: I'd also like to
17 add, too, that when we first talked, we had started the
18 process of developing a split in our budget, public
19 enterprise, and we implemented that toward a '16 and '17
20 year.
21 We did that largely through time accounting as
22 part of our staff and our facility. When we did our
23 '16-'17 budget, we were doing that based on one quarter's
24 worth of data.
25 We've now got a lot more data --
REPORTER'S TRANSCRIPT OF MEETING PROCEEDING'S 04-17-2017
408.275.1122 Uccelli & Associates 650.952.0774 62
1 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Right.
2 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: -- and our data is
3 better.
4 So we can more accurately hone in on what
5 actually our costs are, and that will help inform how we
6 move forward on this.
7 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: So how far down
8 would you drill for something down in terms of cost
9 allocation? Would it even come down to time allocation?
10 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: Yes.
11 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Mm-hmm.
12 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: Yes. Absolutely.
13 Absolutely.
14 COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: Generally I think a
15 member of the public mentioned something about a pier,
16 and a pier is what will ultimately be the Harbor District
17 and this is -- it's attached to the land, but are there
18 any problems with the pier and --
19 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: Councilmember, can I
20 can clarify?
21 COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: Yes.
22 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: I think what Ms.
23 Carter was referring to was a situation that arose on the
24 coast.
25 COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: Yeah. I know this is
REPORTER'S TRANSCRIPT OF MEETING PROCEEDING'S 04-17-2017
408.275.1122 Uccelli & Associates 650.952.0774 63
1 called the Romeo Pier, but not that romantic.
2 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: Access to our
3 facilities in order to fully maintain them, and I think
4 that this is one of the things that the City Manager and
5 I have talked about is making sure that we've got that
6 access, where is the actual dividing line on the area of
7 responsibility, but recognizing.
8 COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: So it's not on the
9 map, but it's on your radar.
10 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: It's on the radar.
11 COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: Excellent.
12 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: We don't want to
13 forget.
14 COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: I'm just going to draw
15 it in so I don't forget.
16 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: We don't want it
17 land logged, water logged, and we don't want to get to
18 the point where we can't get to it.
19 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Right.
20 Accessibility.
21 COUNCILMEMBER NORMANDY: Anything else, Tom?
22 COMMISSIONER MATTUSCH: No.
23 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: I will say this is in
24 closing. That the two staffs are working really well
25 together and this has been a very productive process, and
REPORTER'S TRANSCRIPT OF MEETING PROCEEDING'S 04-17-2017
408.275.1122 Uccelli & Associates 650.952.0774 64
1 I think while we are still operating under the existing
2 JPA, that cooperation has bled over into that, as well,
3 and at least from a staff to staff, District to City
4 perspective, I think things are going really smoother now
5 than they have been in previous year's time.
6 Very helpful, Steve, thank you --
7 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: Thank you very much.
8 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: -- for the time
9 committed to this. We have a lot more to go, but I did
10 want you all to know that it is working very smoothly
11 under the existing JPA, as poorly written as it is.
12 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Thank you.
13 COUNCILMEMBER NORMANDY: Commissioner Chang
14 Kiraly would like to talk or have this opportunity to
15 discuss the next meeting.
16 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Yeah. Schedule
17 it.
18 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: Okay. I think when we
19 have an update ready on the larger JPA, we'll certainly
20 bring it to that meeting.
21 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: How much time do
22 you think you'll need, Mike and Steve? I mean, thirty
23 days from today is --
24 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: Steve, I would think
25 that the really important thing you need to get to is the
REPORTER'S TRANSCRIPT OF MEETING PROCEEDING'S 04-17-2017
408.275.1122 Uccelli & Associates 650.952.0774 65
1 economics.
2 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Right.
3 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: We can bring some
4 numbers to you that you can really chew into, and I -- I
5 don't have staff in the room. I would hesitate to guess.
6 I'll say sixty days.
7 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: We have the fuel
8 dock thing, too.
9 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: The fuel dock will be
10 at the next meeting.
11 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Because that's the
12 meeting that we have to also schedule.
13 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: Right.
14 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Right. So we're
15 talking about two meetings, different meetings now. The
16 fuel dock meeting that you mentioned out thirty to forty-
17 five days --
18 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: No. So the fuel dock
19 issue we should have in the next thirty to forty-five
20 days.
21 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Right.
22 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: But that may be the
23 only item on the agenda.
24 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: No, I get that.
25 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: Okay.
REPORTER'S TRANSCRIPT OF MEETING PROCEEDING'S 04-17-2017
408.275.1122 Uccelli & Associates 650.952.0774 66
1 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: But that's the
2 time sensitive meeting.
3 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: Correct.
4 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: That one is time
5 sensitive.
6 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Right. So we're
7 looking at two meetings, one for that and one for the
8 financials. The overall Attachment B issue, right?
9 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: If we looked at the
10 agenda for today, for example, we had two items, the
11 implementation agreement and the longer term --
12 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Right.
13 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: -- agreement.
14 And the implementation agreement is time
15 sensitive. We're looking at -- we think it's thirty to
16 forty-five for that.
17 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Right.
18 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: And then probably
19 thirty days after that coming back with the next round on
20 this.
21 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: As soon as you have the
22 numbers, the economics, we'll bring those to the
23 committee.
24 But if we can meet before the end of May, which
25 is about forty-five minutes --
REPORTER'S TRANSCRIPT OF MEETING PROCEEDING'S 04-17-2017
408.275.1122 Uccelli & Associates 650.952.0774 67
1 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Right.
2 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: -- that would be great.
3 COUNCILMEMBER NORMANDY: Is there any date of
4 the week that does not work for anyone's schedule? Does
5 Monday work well, Wednesday?
6 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: So Monday --
7 COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: The last week in May.
8 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Monday the 29th is
9 Memorial Day. So there'd be the 30th, which is Tuesday
10 or the 31st, which Wednesday.
11 COUNCILMEMBER NORMANDY: Can we do the 31st,
12 Mike?
13 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: May 31st.
14 MR. MATTAS: We were trying to make that
15 earlier.
16 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: May 25th.
17 COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: What day of the week
18 is that?
19 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Thursday.
20 COUNCILMEMBER NORMANDY: What about Wednesday,
21 the 24th?
22 COUNCILMEMBER ADDIEGO: Fine. That's fine.
23 COUNCILMEMBER NORMANDY: We're looking at May
24 23rd.
25 CITY MANAGER FUTRELL: May 23rd. That is in
REPORTER'S TRANSCRIPT OF MEETING PROCEEDING'S 04-17-2017
408.275.1122 Uccelli & Associates 650.952.0774 68
1 our window.
2 COUNCILMEMBER NORMANDY: Okay. Are we good
3 this time, as well? 2:30? Do we need it later? I'm
4 flexible.
5 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: That's a Tuesday.
6 COUNCILMEMBER NORMANDY: Can we do it May
7 23rd, Tuesday at 3:00 PM for our next Study Session?
8 COMMISSIONER CHANG KIRALY: Yeah. Wonderful.
9 Thank you.
10 GENERAL MANAGER McGRATH: Great.
11 COUNCILMEMBER NORMANDY: So thank you for the
12 City of South San Francisco and our San Mateo County
13 Harbor District Commissioners and Council for being here,
14 and we are then adjourning the meeting at 3:41. Thank
15 you.
