SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT
CITY LIAISON SUB-COMMITTEE MEETING
Minutes of the Meeting on Tuesday, June 18, 2019
South San Francisco Unified School District
District Office – Board Room
398 B Street, South San Francisco, California
CALL TO ORDER - 1:00 p.m. by Board President John Baker
Members present: Board President John Baker Mayor Karyl Matsumoto
Trustee Daina Lujan Councilmember Mark Nagales
Assistant Superintendent Jay Spaulding
(Representing Superintendent Shawnterra Moore)
Also in attendance: Assistant Superintendent Ted O City Manager Mike Futrell
1.) Public Comments - None
2.) Communication Between School District and the City
• Assistant Superintendent Jay Spaulding - a positive working relationship has been established and is
being maintained between the City of SSF and the District. To increase communications, he inquired
about sharing monthly information on current events or celebrations in the District through the SSF City
newsletter. Also, use of the digital marquis could be another means for communication.
• Mayor Karyl Matsumoto - it is a quarterly newsletter and she would love to allow space for the District.
Leslie Arroyo is the City’s Communications Director.
• City Manager Mike Futrell - proposed the District help pay the costs of the newsletter which has
expanded from four to eight pages. This would need to go to City Council for consideration. Their
Library Director, Valerie Sommer, is the best contact for the digital billboard. The newsletter would
require more work and the number of pages might be expanded.
• President John Baker - the District would not use the newsletter on a regular basis, but only for
important events or items such as the digital voting district maps. This would require only one quarter
or one half of a page and the District would pay to use that space.
• Trustee Daina Lujan - this item has come up before and she asked Mr. Futrell about it.
• Futrell - it is a question of space and cost. They are creating a newsletter every two months now to
satisfy the need for communication. It is doable.
• Councilmember Mark Nagales - they could cost share with the District supplying the materials and
verbiage.
• Baker - advised that the District is hiring a Public Information Officer who would handle this.
• Futrell - the costs include the graphics, printing, materials, and translating into multiple languages.
There is a less expensive City newsletter emailed twice a week. And they can also follow up on digital
billboards.
• Matsumoto - the City can figure out the costs and criteria.
• Futrell – the District can use the Chamber’s newsletter also.
• Spaulding - will get the City’s data base for SSF.

3.) Ponderosa ES Childcare Expansion Update
• Assistant Superintendent Ted O - At the April 8, 2019 City Subcommittee meeting, there was a
discussion about expanding the City-operated child care program at Ponderosa ES. The District
agreed to provide an additional portable for the expansion. To allow sufficient time for the City to
obtain the license and hire staff, they would need the portable to be ready by July 1. District staff
worked quickly to get the portable ready ahead of schedule. Updates were given to Director Sharon
Ranals and added to the Ponderosa ES website. Yesterday, City personnel and Facilities Director
Ron Vose visited the portable before inspection and addressed minor item s (cubbies, window locks,
etc.). Once these are completed, the City will have the Licensing Analyst do their inspection. District
costs are $28-30K, not including staff time/in-house costs (painting, electrical work, water heater,
plumbing, etc.). He acknowledged Ms. Ranals for willing to work with the District in covering part of
this cost.
• Nagales - thanked to the District and City for the collaboration. Has enrollment for extra space started
yet?
• Ranals - thanked to Messrs. O and Vose for preparing the portable ahead of schedule. This is the
fourth portable at the site. Have enrolled to capacity prior to expansion. Looking for adequate staff for
fifteen students on the waiting list. Now there are 40 available spots. Cannot accommodate everyone
on the waiting list.
• Baker - per the Boys and Girls Club there is a 4,000 space deficit for students. Do waitlisters know
about the expansion?
• Ranals - they do know, but it is dependent on finding staff.
• Recreation Manager, Angela Duldulao - waitlists are: Buri Buri ES - 59, Los Cerritos ES - 6, Martin ES
- 7, Monte Verde ES - 77, Ponderosa ES -15, and Spruce -10.
• Ranals - once staff is confirmed, estimate taking people off the waiting list.
• Nagales - Ponderosa ES had noticeable staff turnover last year.
• Ranals - staffing is an issue of living in the area. The City pays a $15 minimum wage.
• Baker - once all items with the portable are taken care of, will there be a need for a State or Fire
Marshal inspection?
• Ranals - they will need a statement from Superintendent Moore verifying the capacity of the portable.
The City handles an internal inspection.
4.) City Maintenance
• Spaulding - District received complaints of dog waste on ‘B’ Street and at Sunshine Gardens ES. Is
there a cleaning schedule and if so, who should be contacted?
• Futrell - back of Sunshine Gardens ES is the District’s property. For ‘B’ Street and the Centennial Trail,
contact Ms. Ranals.
• Ranals - can defer to SSF Parks Manager Greg Mediati. Public Works does the street cleaning with a
regular schedule. ‘B’ Street may be one of the streets that are too narrow for the sweepers.
• Spaulding - couches and other large furniture items are on ‘B’ Street (at the apartment complex). May
need newsletter or other communication to the greater area.
• Futrell - articles have been done several times regarding the dog droppings. City Council may
increase the fines by using surveillance cameras. By using the mobile application called ‘Engage
SSF’, items are removed quickly. This app makes it easy to report non-emergency issues from a
smartphone, tablet or desktop computer. The City tracks these issues and will provide updates as they
are acknowledged and resolved for illegal dumping. Will consider the area for cameras. Dumping
occurs often at beginning and end of the month. Will work with the District to resolve.
• Ranals - for District ballfields which are maintained by the City, dogs are not allowed. The City can
create and post signs stating this. Enforcement is an issue.
• Baker - SSFHS Assistant Principals and security personnel have the app on their phones.
• Ranals - not sure it the City can pick up on District or Federal housing authority property.
• Futrell - if on private property the City cannot pick up, but they will work with the District.
• Matsumoto – the City can speak with the on-site manager for the apartment complex and ask for signs
to be posted in their lobby.
5.) Update on Workforce Housing
• O - in October 2018, SSFUSD obtained the services of DCG Strategies to do a feasibility study on
workforce housing. There are five phases. Phase 1 - Market assessment and Phase 2 - Site
assessment were completed and shared with the Board at their January meeting. On February 28,
based on staff recommendation, the Board approved moving on to Phase 3 - Financing and
Development Feasibility. This phase is made up of three stages: Project financing and development
Page 3 of 5
feasibility, call for developers, and a request for development proposals and selection of a developer.
DCG Strategies has completed the first stage of Phase 3. The physical and financial feasibility
analyses conducted by the consultants indicate that the proposed Workforce Housing project can be
feasibly developed.
• Matsumoto - will the design come before the City Housing Subcommittee?
• Futrell - same as with any housing development, it goes through a review process in the City.
• Matsumoto - she sits on the Housing Subcommittee and she is extremely particular about designs.
Before the project is too far into the design, have a meeting with her to alert the District about what is
generally accepted/approved.
• Nagales - will Friends to Parents (at Foxridge) still use the property?
• O - yes, there will be two or more options for them.
• Baker - may demolish the Friends to Parents building and create a green space, as it is not ADA
compliant.
6.) New Field Reservation Process
• O - on March 28, he, Mr. Vose, and Laura Gonzales (Facilities office assistant), met with Ms. Ranals
and City staff to review the field reservation process. They agreed to a process that is similar to how it
was done in the past. On April 4, he shared the process with Principals. The process will be tested
and tweaked, as needed.
• Baker - for the City co-sponsored groups, what is the percentage of athletes?
• Ranals - minimum of 51% SSF athletes and for their board members also.
• Nagales - weather could change the schedule and the District could bump the City. How is this
communicated? It could be an issue.
• O - asked Ms. Ranals if there was a prior issue with this system in the past.
• Ranals - past issue was with gyms, not fields.
• Baker - with rentals, are fees paid after events?
• O - payments are made afterwards.
• Baker - it is a good start. It gives staging tiers for groups to pick times and is better than first come,
first serve.
• Lujan - would like a trial year to see how effective the process is.
• Baker - if it becomes an issue, then go to two windows.
• Ranals - it is so much better. Question of whether the Principals will be getting back to the City at the
end of the month. It may not happen.
• O - will check.
• Ranals - leagues may over request, and then if not needed, Parks and Rec. will release fields.
• Lujan - regarding timing, the end of the month of May is a busy period. Can Civic Permits be added to
Principal’s checklist before they leave for the summer? Principals may not have field and theatre
requests at that time.
• Nagales - has Ms. Ranals spoken to the leagues?
• Ranals - yes, they need to submit dates by May 1.
Follow-up
Spaulding - spoke to Assistant Principal Al Mack who informed him that high schools have their game
dates for sports for the upcoming year in early May. What they don’t know is the practice schedule which is
set by the coaches.
7.) JPA Reminder
• O - current JPA is over ten years old. Dr. Moore thinks it needs to be reviewed.
• Baker - need to reaffirm and restate, with no major revisions.
• Futrell - tried before with former Superintendent Hogan. It will require more work than anticipated. If
City Council desires, they can create a committee.
• Matsumoto - what is the original duration?
• Ranals - it’s a 30 year agreement that ends in 2028.
• Matsumoto - she is supportive, but concerned it is labor intensive and City staff have may other
projects on their plates.
• Futrell - have initial staff-to-staff meeting, and they can then report back. There are some thorny
issues. Minor clean-up is needed. Can do the work in phases.
• Baker - makes sense. Thinking in terms of small revisions. Hope it’s not too labor intensive. There is
still an issue with field maintenance.
Page 4 of 5
• Futrell - the District/City relationship is way better than last time. Will meet and get back to the District.
• Matsumoto - concerned with staffing due to City changes, such as in Parks and Rec.
• Baker - obvious issues, such as Buri Buri ES field on JPA, will require immediate attention.
• Lujan - good to open the conversation, but not a contentious negotiations process.
• Ranals - planning to pick up Buri Buri ES maintenance as did before.
• Mediati - working with Business Services and Bill Savidge.
• Ranals - appreciate the collaboration. With the City’s input, the District changed plans and made it
easier for the City to maintain.
8.) Process for Certificates and Proclamations
• Matsumoto - has seen an influx of District personnel asking for certificates or proclamations. It is time
consuming. Is it okay for her to ask if they have checked with the District first?
• Baker - it is rare and people may not be asking for the District.
• Lujan - three requests came when she was Board President, but they were not for students in the
District. If the item is for a SSFUSD student, the District should create the certificate or proclamation.
• Matsumoto - glad to award Deborah Carlino as it is bragging rights for the City. Some requests were
obscure.
• Spaulding - send the requests to the District.
• Futrell - send them to him and he will distribute them through the Mayor.
• Spaulding - a citizen sends the request to Dr. Moore, who forwards it to Mr. Futrell, who then works
with the Mayor.
9.) California Healthy Kids Survey
• Nagales - the City may ban e-cigarettes and flavored tobacco. The usage rates are alarming and he
wants collaboration to reduce it. Only 2% of high school students participated in a recent survey. The
actual usage could be higher. What is the District doing? How can the District collaborate with the
City?
• Baker - can someone explain the numbers?
• Evelyn (Healthy Kids Survey representative) - rates based on ‘yes’ responses to questions. Compared
to the 2015-16 survey, the number of students participating decreased.
• Lujan - there are costs associated with students taking the survey. The District needs to track this for
LCAP/how monitoring student well-being and substance abuse rates. To respond to Councilmember
Nagales’ question, the District is looking at an Alternative to Suspension (ATS) program for
intervention.
• Spaulding - District has been successful with the Alternative to Expulsion (ATE) program, with only six
students this year. Same decrease with suspensions. Director Ryan Sebers presented at the April 25
Board meeting. District was identified, by State, as disproportion for certain groups of student
expulsions. The Board approved mental health services at all schools starting in 2019-20. Survey
data was skewed because Parkway Heights MS and SSFHS were not included. Only nine
suspensions were for tobacco use last year. District works with the police department in fifth grade
aversion program. There are big issues with Juul vaping. Need to educate students. Students get e-
cigarettes legally.
• Evelyn - at high schools, can posted signs be changed to include no e-cigarettes, vaping, and drug
paraphernalia?
• Spaulding - will add into student handbooks.
• Futrell - when City Council was considering permitting for cannabis, research showed Colorado had an
increase in cannabis use in schools or with school age children. Will State funds be set aside for
education?
• Spaulding - will check into that.
• Futrell - will also look for additional resources.
10.) STEM Update for SSFUSD/CSSF
• Ranals - participating with extended STEAM which began on June 12. Program is 20 days and limited
to 83 kids due to staffing. How many kids to meet demand? Capability is about 200 kids. If grant is
reauthorized next year, have suggestions on glitches.
• Baker - last year was Title 1.
• Ranals - the fee based program had little response.
• Spaulding - Title 1 was the priority.
• Lujan - schedule a debrief after summer with Ms. Ranals and the Educational Services team.
Page 5 of 5
• Ranals - District policy was if a student missed two days, they were dis-enrolled which affected the
after school program. Tying to sync-up the two programs.
• Spaulding - goes more to high schools and credit recovery. It affected elementary schools because of
waitlists. Will look into whether it has changed.
Follow-up
Spaulding - contacted STEAM Principal Beth McLaughlin on the number of students attending STEAM
summer school and the number of students on the STEAM Summer School waitlist. Per Ms. McLaughlin:
TOTAL: 342
3rd grade - 3 classes of 20
4th grade - 3 classes of 24
5th grade - 3 classes of 24
6th grade - 2 classes of 24
7th grade - 2 classes of 24
8th grade - 2 classes less than 24 students (but no one is on the waitlist for this grade level)
Waitlist: 164 – of that number, 92 are for 3rd grade and 50 are for 4th grade.
11.) Adopt a School
• Matsumoto - Susan Kennedy, Liza Normandy, and she started the backpack program, which has
morphed. Her passion is diversity and at risk children. She wants to resurrect something. The City
Council is better leveraged than the District with connections and abilities. She then introduced Angel
Kuoi, a City intern.
• Angel Kuoi - the Adopt a Classroom pilot program will focus on Martin ES. Teachers can make their
requests through the Amazon wish list with reasons for needs. Funds will be supplied for field trips.
The goal is to enhance student education. City staff finds big donors through businesses, Biotech
firms, clubs, etc., which fund field trips. The Community can also donate through the teacher’s
Amazon wish lists. After donors are found, the program would be handed over to the school. Want
the District to implement for the 2019-20 school year.
• Matsumoto - Mr. Futrell spoke with Dr. Moore about the District blessing field trips for elementary
students. District would talk to Principal, who then asks teachers to submit a field trip request. City
would absolve itself afterwards. City will seek out sponsors and have six sponsors lined up so far.
• Baker - the program must cover all classrooms in the same grade level and all grades, if possible.
Since teachers are already off for the summer, may need to wait until August.
• Lujan - for outreach purposes, ask Principal Jonathan Covacha which field trips are currently available
and which they would love to add.
• Baker - would like to expand to other schools once framework is established. Use Martin ES as a test
case.
• Matsumoto - see what is needed. She will get sponsors who need to send their 501C-3 to the District,
not the City.
• Baker - want Mr. Covacha or designee to be able to handle once the City departs.
• Lujan - thank you notes help to continue the relationships.
• Baker - the consensus is to contact Principal Covacha for direct support.
• Futrell - District would make the introductory call.
• Spaulding - looking at thought process from the City. Want to help two grades at least. Request to the
City to be done by grade level. Adopt a grade, not a class level. He will reach out to Principal
Covacha and introduce Mr. Futrell.
12.) Items from Committee - None

Report regarding the City of South San Francisco’s new General Plan.(City Manager Futrell)
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Liaison Subcommittee of the South San Francisco City Council and Unified School
District Board of Trustees receive an update on the City’s General Plan Update.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
A General Plan is the local government’s long-term blueprint for the community’s vision of future growth.Each
city is required by California law to have a General Plan to guide its future land use decisions.South San
Francisco’s last comprehensive General Plan update occurred in 1999.
The City Council initiated South San Francisco’s General Plan update process by forming a General Plan
Community Advisory Committee (GP CAC)and selecting Raimi +Associates consultant team to guide the
effort.The update process includes a comprehensive General Plan update,Zoning Code update,Climate Action
Plan update and preparation of an Environmental Impact Report.The process will include substantial
community engagement and meetings with the GP CAC,Planning Commission,and City Council.Updating
the General Plan is a process that will take approximately three years to complete.
The City Council kicked off the General Plan update process with a joint meeting held with the Planning
Commission on April 29, 2019.
The following is a summary of progress made to-date on the General Plan update:
·The Community Advisory Committee has conducted five meetings to review information and provide
feedback and direction to staff and the consultant team.
·The consultant team conducted over 20 stakeholder interviews.This included individual and small
group interviews with:Council members;housing advocates and providers;child care and health care
providers;school district representative;commercial brokers;religious leaders;labor union;life
sciences association; Chamber of Commerce; YMCA; mothers club; and San Bruno Mountain watch.
·A pop-up event occurred at the Mayor’s State of the City Address and another is scheduled for the
September 28,2019 Concert in the Park.These are additional opportunities to meet with residents to
inform them of the process and gather input in more convenient and informal settings.
·Staff and the consultant team also has conducted seven (7)of nine (9)sub-area (neighborhood)meetings
to inform the public of the General Plan update process and gather information on what should be
preserved in the community and their vision for the future of the city in the next 20 years.The meetings
were advertised with a city-wide postcard mailing and multiple social media and email announcements.
The meetings were well attended and community members provided information that will help shape

File #:19-773 Agenda Date:9/17/2019
Version:1 Item #:3.
the vision and guiding principles for the General Plan.
·The consultant team has completed existing conditions reports which provides a baseline analysis of the
City including:demographic and socio-economic conditions;transportation;parks and public services;
natural and historical resources;hazards and noise;land use;neighborhood analysis;and climate
change.The existing conditions reports are being reviewed by staff and will be finalized by the
consultant for publication this Fall.
NEXT STEPS
Staff and Raimi +Associates are planning the following next steps to remain on schedule with the General Plan
Update timeline:
·The Community Advisory Committee will continue to meet monthly to guide the update process
including hosting community forums on informational topics.The first forum is scheduled for October
30,2019 to discuss Emerging Trends in Transportation.This meeting will be announced for community
attendance.The second forum will be held in January and will discuss Housing Affordability and
Gentrification.
·A Community Workshop will be held in early December to report back on information gathering and
feedback received from the community.This meeting will help shape the General Plan vision and
guiding principles.
·The City Council will discuss the vision,guiding principles,and issues at a meeting in January.This
will include a discussion on the sub-areas and areas of change and stability.
CONCLUSION
The South San Francisco Unified School District is an important stakeholder in the General Plan process,and
there will certainly be opportunities for District input and collaboration during the process.

Report regarding an Update on the Status of SSFUSD Field and Facility Permitting Process.(Assistant City
Manager Ranals)
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Liaison Subcommittee of the South San Francisco City Council and Unified
School District Board of Trustees receive an update on the status of the SSFUSD field and facility
permitting process.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
For many years the South San Francisco Unified School District utilized a system for processing requests for
the use of fields and facilities covered by the Joint Powers Agreement between the City and School District in
which the City submitted requests annually on behalf of City programs and co-sponsored community groups,
and were given priority consideration.When the District adopted an online permit system several years ago a
“first come first serve” policy was followed which created some conflicts.
This year District and City staff collaborated on a revised “pilot”permitting process in which city staff would
once again submit all City and co-sponsored group permit requests prior to the end of the school year for the
following year.The City submitted requests for Callero Field,Parkway Field,Ponderosa Field,Alta Loma
Middle School Field,SSFHS Auditorium (2 ballet performances per year),SSFHS track for middle school
track program,and Spruce Elementary (RAPP Basketball for children).Permit requests were submitted in May,
as requested by the District. It was agreed that the staff would evaluate the revised policies after the trial period.
The reservation process has worked well in most instances,and a number of permits have been approved.The
City fully understands that some dates are not available due to school programs and priorities,and can work
around blackout dates as long as advance notification is provided.Some permits which were submitted in May
are however still pending principal approval,which makes it difficult for planning and field allocations.Of
particular note,use of Parkway Middle School field,which is listed in the JPA as available for community use
for youth sports,has been denied.Both soccer and baseball groups have expressed disappointment that the field
has not been made available. Timeliness of response from the District for certain sites has also been an issue.
CONCLUSION
The City very much appreciates the District’s willingness to re-evaluate the permitting process,and is grateful
for those facilities and fields which have been permitted.Staff would like to continue to work with District staff
to make the permitting process as smooth as possible for both agencies,and welcomes input on District
priorities for use.

South San Francisco Unified School District
Permit Reservation Process for 2019-20 (Trial Year)
In an effort to help improve the current permit reservation process, the District is implementing/testing a new
process for 2019-20. The process for reserving district fields and theatre will be as follows:
By May 6, 2019, administrators from the City of South San Francisco will submit their reservation
requests for fields and theatre for the following fiscal year (2019-20) to Laura Gonzalez in Facilities.
By May 6, 2019, administrators from the SSFUSD schools will submit their reservation requests for fields
and theatre (if applicable) for the following fiscal year (2019-20) to Laura Gonzalez in Facilities.
Ms. Gonzalez will go through both to determine which dates are available for the City of South San
Francisco to use the fields and theatre. (SSFUSD schools will have first priority.)
On those dates requested by the City that is not available, Ms. Gonzalez will work with the City on
alternative dates.
After all the dates are finalize for the City and the schools, the Director of Facilities will review and
approve them.
Ms. Gonzalez will inform staff at the City of the approved dates for 2019-20 and have the City staff enter
the dates in the permit reservation system.
Ms. Gonzalez and/or the schools will put in the SSFUSD school dates in the permit reservation system.
The Principals at the schools will approve the City’s requested dates prior the end of May 2019.
Starting June 1, 2019, outside organizations and other group may begin requesting dates for 2019-20.
Preference will be given in the order specified in AR 1330.
For 2019-20 (trial year), schools may bump the City during the fiscal year, provided the City is given 30
days advanced notice.
There will be days where the SSFUSD schools are not able to use the fields on their scheduled days due
to things that are outside of their control (such as rain, flooding, damage to field, etc.), so they will need
to reschedule their practices and games. For these instances, the SSFUSD schools may bump the City
without giving the 30 day notice. However, every effort shall be made to provide as much notice as
possible if this occurs.
This process will be a trial for 2019-20. Afterwards, staff will evaluate this process before finalizing the
process.

Report regarding an Update on the Orange Memorial Park Storm Water Capture Project (Assistant City
Manager Ranals)
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Liaison Subcommittee of the South San Francisco City Council and Unified School
District Board of Trustees receive an update on the construction schedule for the Orange Memorial Park Storm
Water Capture Project.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans)granted $9,500,000 for the Orange Memorial Storm
Water Capture Project.The project’s primary goal is to help the City and Caltrans comply with the Regional
Water Quality Control Board’s Municipal Regional Permit (MRP),which stipulates a regulatory limit
requirement for trash,mercury and polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB)load reductions in waters flowing to San
Francisco Bay.The Water Board has established minimum pollutant load reduction limits for each county and
its cities,and the MRP requires that a portion of the pollutant load reductions shall be through green
infrastructure.Underground chambers will be installed in the southwestern (ballfield)quadrant of the park to
capture and remove pollutants from a portion of the water that flows through the waterway.Restoration of the
area will follow completion of the storm water project.
Since the project was originally conceived,the City’s Engineering staff have been successful in proposing a
project expansion which will allow more water to be treated,and also permit the use of recycled water for
irrigation within Orange Park.Staff are in the process of executing an amended agreement with Caltrans for an
additional $6,000,000 to expand the footprint and capacity of the project.
Originally scheduled to begin construction in March of 2020,this new development,if approved by City
Council on September 25,will delay the start of construction until May of 2020.It is anticipated that South San
Francisco High School baseball team will be able to use the field for the majority,if not all,of their season.
Parks and Recreation staff were not anticipating that the field would be used for another season,and have not
done as much maintenance on the field as is typical.However,the field will be in good condition in the spring,
and safe for play.In anticipation of the Orange Park field closure Parks and Recreation staff have also not
renewed an outside permit for the use of the baseball field at Westborough Park,which is the correct size and
dimension for high school play.This field will also be available to augment Orange Park,should the District
need to use it.
The closure of Orange Memorial Park baseball quadrant will also impact City-sponsored and co-sponsored
programs.It should be noted that there are specific requirements for the various age groups which include the
size of the field,distance between the pitcher’s mound and home plate,skinned vs.turf infield,and whether or
not the league plays at night and requires lights.The following is a summary of the impacts and possible
alternative locations, where known:

Adult Softball (Spring and Summer Leagues)
Alternate Location: Terrabay Field
With only one lighted field available,staff will only be able to register up to 7 teams per night.The Men’s
league usually has approximately 7 teams and the co-ed league can get up to 12 -14 teams;with only one field
available it may be necessary to downsize the co-ed league to 7 teams.
Junior Giants (Summer)
Alternate Location: Terrabay Field
The older division (ages 10-13),games are played on Friday nights at Orange Memorial Park.No alternate site
has been determined yet that has lights.
Middle School Flag Football (Fall)
Alternate Location: Terrabay Field
Field is used up to 3 times per week.
Summer Baseball Camp (high school)
Alternate Location: TBD
Program operates 2 times per week.
Youth Baseball (co-sponsored League)
Alternate Location: TBD
Program operates weekends.
CONCLUSION
The City is currently evaluating how the area above the Storm Water Capture project will be restored once that
project is completed.One proposal is to replace the natural turf with artificial turf,and configure the ballfields
in such a way as to also allow for soccer play in the center of the area.The City will engage in a public outreach
process in the fall of 2019 to assess community need and public receptivity to artificial turf.

Report regarding an Update on the Status of Park and Recreation After School Enrollment at Ponderosa
Elementary School.(Assistant City Manager Ranals)
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Liaison Subcommittee of the South San Francisco City Council and Unified School
District Board of Trustees receive an update on the enrollment in the Park and Recreation Before and After
School Programs.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The City and School District have collaborated closely in recent years to accommodate as many children as
possible at those sites where the City operates programs,including Buri Buri,Monte Verde,Ponderosa,Spruce,
Martin,and Los Cerritos.At their inception each program was licensed for 30 children,however as demand has
grown,programs have been expanded to the extent that space can be secured.Hiring qualified staff for the
programs has been challenging.
Last year the District and the City worked together to expand programs at Buri Buri and Ponderosa.At Buri
Buri,the City was given access to the Exploratorium to expand capacity for an additional 50 spaces,from 80
children to 130.At this time there are 94 children enrolled,with 30 still on the waiting list.We continue to
recruit,interview,and hire staff.Staff believes that we will be able to accommodate at least an additional 20
children from the waiting list in October,and will continue recruitment and hiring with the goal of
accommodating all 30 children currently on the waiting list.Families at Buri Buri also have the option of
enrolling in the on-site childcare program offered by the District.
At Ponderosa,based on a large waiting list and parent advocates for expanded capacity,the District installed a
refurbished portable.Capacity at this site was expanded from 120 children to 160.At this site 24 of 26 children
on the wait list have been enrolled,bringing the current enrollment to 106.Pending staffing,there is available
space at this site for additional children.Staff is not sure why the actual demand for childcare at this site has
declined from last year.When contacted by staff regarding spaces enrollment from the wait list,some families
informed staff that they are attending private schools or their desired transfer to Ponderosa was denied.
Demand for childcare at Monte Verde,with a capacity 200 and current enrollment at 172,remains very strong
with 62 children still on the wait list.Further expansion at this site does not seem viable,both from the
perspective of available space, and program limits.
Spruce School traditionally has not filled to capacity,which is 30 children.This year the site is at capacity,with
a wait list of 9 children.Families at Spruce have several childcare options,including the City’s ASES program
operated by the Library at the Community Learning Center,and the School District’s After School program at
the Children’s Center.
The ASES After School programs at Martin and Los Cerritos,both with a capacity of 55 children,are currently

The ASES After School programs at Martin and Los Cerritos,both with a capacity of 55 children,are currently
full with wait lists of 6 and 3,respectively.These grant-funded programs are offered at no cost to families,and
are mandated as academic support and enrichment programs.Both of these sites also have additional childcare
options offered by the Boys and Girls Club at nearby locations.
CONCLUSION
The City is committed to working collaboratively with the School District to meet the academic,social,and
emotional needs of the children in South San Francisco,and very much appreciates the partnership that has
developed between the two agencies in providing before and after school care.
