ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS
1. Report regarding a study session on a potential planning and design study to replace the City
Hall Annex. (Jacob Gilchrist, Director of Capital Projects)
Director of Capital Projects Gilchrist presented the report and indicated that the City Hall Annex
was dedicated to the South San Francisco Police Station in 1949. The building has outlived its
useful life and currently houses the offices of the Building, Engineering, and Planning divisions.
The Annex has significant safety and code compliance deficiencies.
The assessment does not recommend demolishing the building. Still, it suggests it may be
challenging to modernize due to its construction methods and age-old construction methods that
make it nearly impossible to renovate. There is evidence of failing structural reinforcement of a wall

path of travel without using the sidewalk. Disabled community members must navigate significantly
longer distances to travel from one building to another. As a staff space, the Annex is cramped and
uncomfortable. The building is planning to convert two storage closets into office spaces. Already,
staff turned one small conference area into a workspace. This study will include reviewing the
needs of the divisions housed in the Annex.
An initial budget of $3-$4 million would allow staff to proceed with the initial steps. If directed to
proceed, staff would use the initial funding to complete the following tasks: Hire Design Team,
Analyze and Assess Site, Develop Design Vision, Establish Building and Landscape Program. Staff
would then present findings to the Council for further consideration and direction. The vision is to
replace the 8,800-sf building with roughly 15,000 sf of space to accommodate the following
departments: Engineering, Finance, Commerce, and Information Technology (potentially), and
Planning. The vision is tentative, pending a review of existing conditions and historic preservation
requirements.
Director of Capital Projects Gilchrist stated that a preschool at this location could potentially
accommodate 80-120 children. He indicated that staff targeted an overall project budget of $30-40
million. A study will seek to clarify the pedestrian circulation of the City Hall block, creating a
beautiful and functional experience for residents and staff alike.
Councilmember Addiego expressed his desire to have the future Annex building brought closer to
Maple Avenue and accessible from Miller Avenue. He encouraged staff to be creative when
redesigning the site. Director of Capital Projects Gilchrist provided an overview of the proposed
integration of the Grand Avenue Library and City Hall.
Vice Mayor Nicolas noted that the safety of staff and the public is crucial and suggested that staff
address ADA compliance of the building. She expressed support for the project to make it more
accessible and safer for the community.
Councilmember Coleman inquired about staff relocation during construction and encouraged staff
to be creative but match the existing architecture of City Hall and the Grand Avenue Library. In
addition, he suggested including office space for nonprofit organizations. City Manager Futrell
indicated staff would relocate to the downtown area.
Councilmember Flores expressed his desire for the site to be more accessible to the community,
especially regarding ADA compliance. He noted the importance of preserving the architecture of
the building and encouraged staff to be creative with the office space.
Mayor Nagales expressed his concern with the building's accessibility and possible use as a
childcare site due to the traffic impacts and size. Director of Capital Projects Gilchrist provided an
overview of the proposed daycare site. He acknowledged that ADA requirements exist and
indicated that staff continues to address those challenges.
City Manager Futrell highlighted the importance of the project but noted the limited staff bandwidth
and funding. He indicated that the project could be prioritized if needed, given the Council's
direction, and emphasized the project cost of $30-$40 million. Given the Council's
recommendation, City Manager Futrell will continue to work with staff and bring the item back for
the Council's consideration in the near future.

2. Report regarding the status of the Child Care Master Plan and draft recommendations.
(Kathleen White, Child Care Master Plan Consultant, Greg Mediati – Director of Parks and
Recreation)
Consultant Kathleen White presented the report and noted that the information would apprise the
Council of the Parks and Recreation Department's Child Care Master Plan progress. The purpose of
the Master Plan is to focus on improving and expanding the reach, quality, and impact of early
childhood education programs, childcare, and youth services to guide operations and developments
of child care centers and programs over the next ten years.
Consultant White provided an overview of the Parent/Family survey responses and noted that
affordability is a challenge, especially with the high cost of living. She discussed the impact of the
COVID-19 pandemic on all childcare programs. Children who receive high-quality early care and
education experiences are more likely to have advanced language, academic, and social skills. Out-
of-school programs also have positive outcomes, including improved academic performance and
work habits. Staff will incorporate the Council's input into the Child Care Master Plan.
Mayor Nagales expressed concern with the parent survey results showing that the number one cause
of parents missing work was lack of childcare. He noted that South San Francisco is the only city
that collects Childcare Impact Fees to serve the community and address childcare needs. He
suggested reviewing the City of Redwood City's ordinance that expands the number of childcare
facilities with zoning amendments expanding location and permitting the development of large
childcare homes by-right. Currently, the city allows small childcare centers that serve no more than
eight children to operate by-right in any dwelling. It would align with legislation prohibiting cities
from requiring use permits for large family childcare homes.
Vice Mayor Nicolas noted the importance of providing childcare for working families and pointed
out that the lack of childcare typically affects women. Consultant White provided an overview of
the workforce development programs highlighting a program that would support parents seeking
employment to obtain college courses and prerequisites needed to fill current teacher vacancies.
Councilmember Flores thanked the staff for the report and inquired about several plan components.
He requested information on the current funding of the Child Care Impact Fee and suggested using
the Main Library as a potential childcare site once the Civic Campus is complete. Consultant White
responded to inquiries and noted that the survey targeted parents of elementary students. The South
San Francisco Unified School District distributed the survey to families via School Loop in English
and Spanish. City Manager Futrell indicated that there is approximately $11.7 million of funding.
Councilmember Flores noted the importance of partnering with the school district for future
apprenticeship programs, such as the district's former workforce development program. He
expressed support for forming a subcommittee to continue to discuss childcare needs concerns with
the school district.
Councilmember Coleman requested clarification on the daycare demand numbers and expressed
support for a workforce development program that includes high school students due to the shortage
of teachers nationwide. He inquired as to the average teacher salary in our district. Consultant White
clarified the calculations and indicated that it had an allocation for commuters. She provided an
overview of the salary calculations used and recognized the need for improvement.

Mayor Nagales expressed support to continue to explore the future use of the Main Library,
maximizing the space to ensure community needs are met. Councilmember Addiego suggested that
