MATTERS FOR CONSIDERATION
1. Motion to approve the Minutes from the meeting of February 5, 2020
Committee Member Alcalde moved to approve the minutes. Committee Member Zemke seconded the
motion.
Action: Approved by roll call vote (3-0)
Public Comment on Item 2-Mina Richardson, member of the public.
My question for the Paving Plan Update is where is Cherry Ave at this time on the schedule? There are pot-
holes and the street is uneven, with a manhole protruding causing a bump effect. It has alligator markings
also. It appears other streets in Mayfair village are nicely paved with slurry seal, but mine is in need and
keeps getting passed up. Please advise.
Sr. Civil Engineer Torres responded, starting in 2022 we will be going into the zone of treatment. Cherry
Ave is located in Zone 3 with preliminary work to begin in 2024 and is scheduled for 2024 Surface Seal at

this time. This is the preliminary plan and the designers and staff will be reviewing these lists in more detail.
They have gone through a round of rough review, but once we get to the actual project and look at the actual
costs and what is required for each street then the list will be finalized and presented.
2. Report regarding the Public Works Department’s Paving Plan update. (Angel Torres, Senior
Civil Engineer)
Sr. Civil Engineer Torres shared about the Pavement Management Program at the City of South San
Francisco. He stated the City will be implementing a zone map for the pavement management program
which mimics a system that is being utilized by other local agencies, such as Daly City who has a seven
year/seven zone mapping system. He stated our City is broken up into six zones which constitute six
neighborhoods which for this year, 2020, have two projects that are going out to constructions; one is a
surface seal project like in the Sunshine Garden’s area, provides a treatment to the surface and gives about a
5 year extension to the road. Going forward in 2021, the project will concentrate in the Old Town Area. Sr.
Civil Engineer Torres shared a 2021-2027 Preliminary Work Plan and explained that in 2028 the plan would
be to return to Zone 1 and repeat the cycle. He stated that this will give full coverage to the City and the
pricing of the project will be more cost effective and provide better future bids. He said that focusing on one
area at a time makes in more cost effective because the contractor doesn’t need to m obilize equipment to
different parts of the City and will allow for more streets to be surface sealed.
Committee Member Alcalde asked where the funding comes from.
Sr. Civil Engineer Torres replied that there is a combination of different sources of funding. A portion of the
funding for these projects is from Measure W.
Principal Engineer Ruble stated that City Council has elected to fund the Pavement Management Program at
$4.5 M made up of General Fund, Measure A, SSF Measure W, San Mateo County Measure W and Road
Maintenance Rehab (SB1) to combine that. Measure W is providing funding of $667,000/year for the
indefinite future and was included in the City’s Capital Improvement Program.
Chair Wong stated that sometime last year the work plan was presented and asked if there were any major
changes to the timeline for each zone compared to the first presentation.

Sr. Civil Engineer Torres responded that when he came on board and changed the pavement program, one
thing that changed is that the budget was increased for the pavement management program and what that
allowed for was to work with a designer to bundle projects combining two single-year projects into one
project. For example the current budget makes it possible to complete the previous 5 year plan from 2017/18.
From there, starting in 2022 they will be moving into the new 6 year plan.
Sr. Civil Engineer Torres continued by scrolling through and showing the remaining sections in more detail.
Chair Wong requested information on a specific street and Sr. Civil Engineer Torres responded with the
requested information
Chair Wong asked if the list was available to the public.
Principal Engineer Ruble stated that the work plan is posted to their website and is readily available to the
public and anyone is able to look in and see when their neighborhood will receive treatment.
Public Comment -Police Dispatch Update. What is the completion date for the first phase of the Civic
Campus? On schedule to begin the next phase?
Director of Capital Projects Gilchrist responded that Omar Galvan Construction Manager from Kitchell CEM
will run through a more detailed update on construction of Phase 1, which is the police operations and 911
dispatch. He stated that generally speaking construction is going well, they broke ground about three weeks
before shelter in place began. He stated that the project is about 30% of the way through construction. He
mentioned that the project has only lost a couple of weeks of schedule, unrelated to COVID, due to
unforeseen site conditions. He said the project is still on schedule for a September 2021 completion for Phase
1 of the Community Civic Campus. He invited the committee to join next week for the Council meeting on
August 12 where there will be an in-depth presentation on the sustainability of the project with the green
infrastructure element and an update on the park and playground design, as well as a series of detailed 3D
visualization for the interior of the building. He stated that Phase 2, which is the Library and Parks and
Recreation facility is still on schedule to bid in early September with the idea being that it would open in
spring of 2023. He stated that he is impressed with SmithGroup’s design and leadership of Kitchell, Omar’s
team.

3. Report regarding construction of Police Operations and 9-1-1 Dispatch Center. (Jacob
Gilchrist, Director of Capital Projects)
Omar Galvan with Kitchell, the Program Construction Manager for the Campus Project both Phase 1 and
Phase 2, went through a series of slides to overview the project which included information regarding the 18
month construction duration contract award to Swinerton Builders, demolition of the existing Pet Club and
prepping the site, groundbreaking, and current efforts .
Committee Member Alcalde asked if equipping the building is included. He asked if it is another phase or if
it is all included in the contract.
Program Construction Manager Galvan responded that the coordination of FFEs (fixtures, furniture and
equipment) is on the tail end of the project, typically in the last 60 -90 days and that there will be some cut
over after the project is complete to get the police station online including the emergency equipment which is
currently in the approved budget.
Committee Member Zemke mentioned that he thought it looks great and that contractors are making really
good progress every time he looks at it.
Chair Wong asked if we foresee anything will cause the project to go over budget because of pandemic
issues.
Director of Capital Project Gilchrist responded that there is a 10% contingency that is being used for
unforeseen expenses but is still within the budget. He said that in terms of the pandemic it is a big unknown
but there is a healthy contingency left. He stated that the City’s cost estimators are suggesting holding back a
few million. He said that the pandemic may slow construction, but that at this point there is no need for
additional funding.
Committee Member Alcalde stated there is not so much concern of the outgoing but of the incoming as the
City’s sales tax has probably been affected by the pandemic and is eager to hear from Finance.
Director of Capital Project Gilchrist mentioned that Finance may cover that in their presentation but that the
team will be going over that it more detail at the Council presentation.

4. Informational report on Measure W fund balance and expendi ture projections for FY 2020-
21 (Janet Salisbury, Finance Director)
Finance Director Salisbury shared the Measure W Fund Balance Summary which showed the revenues and
expenditures. Director Salisbury stated that the current fund (cash) balance for Measure W as of August 1,
2020 is $13,391,541. Current year to date through April the City has collected $9,862,295, does not include
May and June 2020. Projection right now is to end the year around $11.5M and that is substantiated by
speaking with our sales tax consultant. In this year our expenditures are $407,000 which includes our first
debt service payment on the Police Station and a transfer to CIP of $10M.
Committee Member Alcalde asked what the transfer to CIP reflects.
Director of Finance Salisbury mentioned that is a combination of the campus and the streets project and will
go more in depth in the presentation.
Director Salisbury continued with a Monthly Revenue Comparison (FY 2019-20 vs. FY2018-19) which
showed a decrease in pre-COVID months July through February, explained by a slight softening. She also
explained that an error in the 2017-18 tax years resulted in additional funds in the 2018-19 year and could
affect those reportings. The comparison also showed an increase in March which could be contributed to
early COVID spending at Costco but overall there is an average monthly decrease of approximately $60,000
due primarily to the acute effect of the pandemic.
Director Salisbury provided preliminary FY2019-20 expenditures which included a pre-construction
expenditure of $10,011,942 for a total amount of $10.5M including the streets program and debt service.
Chair Wong asked if there is an estimate of the unspent fund balance which will be carried over to next year.
Director Salisbury explained that Measure W is its own fund and that there is no carry over in terms of funds
and it is a to be determined.
Director Salisbury continued with the FY2020-21 budget and explained that the economic impact of
COVID-19 is expected to stress revenue, but that the expectation is still to bring in $11.17M. Expenditures
are expected to be around $3.8M.

Director Salisbury stated that she would email Chair Wong the actual number but that there were $17M
budgeted expenditures for 19-20 so we are under budget.
Chair Wong asked what the significance of Council adopting a budget is if there is always a large unspent
balance that continues to roll over. She asked if with the bond issuance if the City will go back to Council to
budget.
Director Salisbury clarified that what she is showing is cash; that these funds are committed through
contracts.
Chair Wong asked if there was a snapshot of the committed amount and asked if that could be presented at
the next meeting so that she can see the budget and actual comparison.
Director Salisbury stated that there is no way to do that at this time as the funds have not actually been
encumbered can only really see cash out the door. She stated that what finance tracks is appropriated dollars.
Committee Member Alcalde asked what the reduction is hotel tax is because he is concerned that Council
may look to Measure W to fund CalPERS obligation.
Director Salisbury stated that there is a downfall in TOT but will not be used for holstering the pension cost
and stated that the City is unbelievably financially healthy and pointed to the City’s AAA rating.
Chair Wong asked to see the final auditing numbers at the next meeting.
Director Salisbury stated that it would not be ready.
Chair Wong requested to see the final revenue number.
Director Salisbury confirmed that number will be presented at the next meeting.
Chair Wong mentioned the revised meeting time is a problem.
Director Salisbury stated that because of budgetary restrictions the City is moving to hold committee

MATTERS FOR CONSIDERATION
1. Motion to approve the Minutes from the meeting of August 5, 2020.
Committee Member Brosnan stated that he was unable to view the minutes. Chair Wong moved to
continue this item to the next meeting. Committee Member Brosnan seconded the motion.
Action: Approved by roll call vote (3-0-0)
2. Presentation on Financing the Civic Campus and Street-Paving Program (Janet Salisbury,
Director of Finance)
Finance Director Salisbury presented to the Committee regarding Financing the Civic Campus & Street
Paving Program, which consisted of an overview of Measure W Funds, review of Civic Campus Financing,
and a presentation of an Option for Streets Paving Program.
Director Salisbury went over total revenues and expenditures in terms of Measure W Funds. She restated
for the record that Measure W Funds are kept separate from the General Fund and accounted for specifically
and intentionally so that every dollar is tracked. Director Salisbury shared the Measure W Fund Balance
Summary, which showed all of the dollars that have been received by the City since the inception of Measure
W, which goes back five years and ends at June 2020 as this is the current finalized CAFR.
Director Salisbury stated that the finalized CAFR is going to Council on February 10, 2021.
The Director of Finance stated that through December 2020, for fiscal year 2021, the City has received $4M in
total revenues and that there have been no expenditures in terms of cash.
Director Salisbury presented a Monthly Revenue Comparison and shared that the City accounts for
funds on an accrual basis.
Director Salisbury attributed a $1M decrease from FY 2019-2020 compared to FY 2018-2019 to
COVID citing that Shelter-in-Place began in March.
Director Salisbury stated that the current interest rates are near historic lows and presented the pricing
of Phase I, Series 2020A Bonds in February 2020. She mentioned that the expectation is for the interest rates
to remain low as the City evaluates the Phase II bonds.
Committee Member Brosnan questioned when the City would start paying on the Phase I Bond.
Finance Director Salisbury shared that the City has started paying bond interest. She stated that the
bond interest is paid on a semi-annual basis. She referred to a $407,156 transfer to Gen’l Fund (9100) as debt
service payment for the interest costs. She mentioned that the bonds closed in March and that the first interest
payment was made in June, on a June to December basis; every six months.

Finance Director Salisbury stated that she would send out the Official Statement for the Phase I Bonds
to the Committee Members as part of the next meeting. Finance Director Salisbury stated that the Official
Statement contains the debt service; what we are going to pay back and the schedule on a semi-annual basis.
Committee Member Brosnan asked when the City would begin paying on principal.
Director Salisbury stated that the City will being paying towards principal in December. She stated that
the bonds are structured to be level debt service, meaning the debt service annually is level. She mentioned that
the average annual debt service is $2.7M and that will be paid for the life of the bond. Director Salisbury stated
that the bonds sunset in 2046 that will go back to pay a par amount of about $47M and change.
Committee Member Brosnan requested clarification in regards to Phase II payments and asked if there
would be other phases beyond Phase II.
Finance Director stated that this will be discussed.
Director Salisbury shared funding sources related to estimated cost in regards to Pre-Construction,
Phase I:Police Station and Phase II: Library, P&R, Council (LPR).
Chair Wong asked if the fundraising $4.7M target is realistic.
Director Salisbury responded that it is a realistic target based on discussions with the Library
Foundation who is leading the fundraising efforts on behalf of the City.
Committee Member Brosnan brought up a point regarding a fundraising consultant that was hired in
the end of 2019 and mentioned that the fundraising number was much higher then and seemed very unrealistic.
Committee Member Brosnan asked if that consultant was still around and asked if the consultant had viable
ideas.
City Manager Futrell said that the initial number was $10M and that it would have been achievable
before COVID. City Manager Futrell mentioned that there will be a press release soon to announce a couple of
large donations and hoping that will cause a little momentum and maybe raise a little more.
Committee Member Brosnan stated that earlier in the last year Council did a proclamation to transfer
funds from infrastructure and asked where on the presentation that is documented.
City Manager Futrell stated that in June Council changed their decision. Due to COVID and the
shutdown and the economic recession, Council decided to hold that money in reserves.
Finance Director Salisbury went on to present a conservative estimate of Measure W Cashflow through
to 2046.
Committee Member Brosnan pointed out a discrepancy on the Cashflow slide related to Monies Already
Spent and Total Expenditures on the Fund Balance Summary slide.
17
MEASURE W CITIZENS’ OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE
MEETING MINUTES
February 3, 2021
PAGE 4
Finance Director Salisbury explained that the Fund Balance Summary contains monies that have been
budgeted and unspent, where the Cashflow accounts for monies that have left the door. She explained that
budgeted is different from actuals. She stated that monies that have been approved by Council and are tied up
in encumbrances, makes up the difference.
The Committee discussed how to present for clarification and consistency in the future.
Finance Director Salisbury presented a plan to issue additional $24M for Street Paving Program to
accelerate the street improvements and noted a significant savings component.
Principal Engineer Ruble presented a representation of the current six-year rehabilitation program
against a two year catch up project and a 5-year future maintenance surface seal by zone rehabilitation Bond
Measure Project which would cover 7% more roads in 2 years and will cost approximately $2.5M less each
year.
Director Salisbury discussed the option to add $24M for streets program and its affordability. She went
on to present the Bond Sale Assumptions with both options (LPR Only and LPR + Streets) and impact with
1% Interest Rate Move.
Director Salisbury concluded the presentation with a slide regarding Projected Cash Flow Detail
through 2030.
Committee Member Brosnan asked for clarification regarding a statement made earlier in the
presentation regarding Phase 1 $2.7M interest-only payments.
Director Salisbury clarified that the $2.7M payment is not interest only. She stated that the $2.7M is the
whole principal and interest. However, the first payment was interest.
Chair Wong asked for clarification on the Projected Cash Flow slide regarding the streets paving program.
Director Salisbury stated that the Phase II as presented is potential debt service that has not been issued
for the Library, Park & Rec building. The streets paving program is presented as an “if Council approves” that
is the potential debt service based on $24M.
Committee Member Brosnan asked for clarification regarding the total debt issuance, he asked for
clarification if it rose from $115M to $127M.
Director Salisbury confirmed that the $127M is the total issuance, but reminded that that is not the par
amount rather what we actually receive in cash.
Committee Member Brosnan asked if there were fees related to closing costs that would be added to
$127M.
Director Salisbury responded that the numbers presented are all-in and have all been accounted for. She
went over cost of issuance and the underwriters discount related to how much bonds are issued.

Committee Member Brosnan asked if it was like a mortgage, where the bottom line is how much you
are borrowing and how much your mortgage payment is going to be every month.
Director Salisbury stated that it is like a home loan where you will see annual average debt service.
She stated that she could share the Official Statement at a future meeting.
Committee Member Brosnan stated that the Principal and Interest Payments seem very small in terms
of the amount.
Director Salisbury pointed to the interest rate as the reason for this. She reiterated that the bonds have
been structured at a historically low interest rate and that the bond is structured as a lease revenue bond. There
were some assumptions made early on, one being that there would be one bond not broken up as it is currently
structured. The debt service was initially based on $115M upfront, but that is not what happened. The City
broke up the Police Campus and LPR Building. On the down side you are paying costs twice and cited the
closing cost of $300,000 that becomes $600,000, but noted that in the relative scheme of things it actually
saves the City millions. She also went over the structure of the bonds, which includes pledged assets. She stated
that by doing this we do not have to borrow more than we need and have further dropped that debt service
number.
Committee Member Brosnan confirmed that they would be two separate notes.
Director Salisbury stated that they would be two separate notes, Phase I which was issued last year and
will go to 2046/2047 and Phase II which will be issued in May and will sunset in the same timeframe.
Committee Member Zemke stated that the discussion was very informative and said that his only
question was, “when do you expect to issue the second bond” which was just answered.
Director Salisbury mentioned that the presentation will go to Council on February 10th where they will
decide whether to go ahead on the street paving program for the $24M. Director Salisbury stated that she
would present more information when the committee meets again.
A discussion related to the timing of the next meeting ensued because of staffing time and budget.
Chair Wong asked when the Committee could expect the Annual Audited Financial Statement for year
2020.
Director Salisbury mentioned that the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) has been
finalized and is going to Council on Feb 10 and can be presented by the next meeting.
City Manager Futrell asked what the Committee expected to see out of the CAFR.

The expected total cost for both the Aquatic Center and Field Projects (“Projects”) is $48 million:
Sports Field Project:$ 14,000,000
Orange Pool Project:$ 34,000,000
Total Capital Need:$ 48,000,000
Given the $48 million cost for both Projects,the following is the current funding recommendation that was
accepted by Council:
Lease Revenue Bond Proceeds (Series
2022A - 3rd Tranche)
$ 41,000,000
Parks Impact Fee $ 5,300,000
Caltrans Grant $ 1,700,000
Total Capital Need for Projects:$ 48,000,000
As some of the Committee members are already aware,the City issued the first tranche of Lease Revenue
Bonds in March 2020 to finance the Police Station.The City issued the second tranche of Lease Revenue
Bonds in June 2021 to finance the (a)Library,Parks and Recreation (LPR)Building;(b)Streets Program,and
(c)solar roofs for LPR and the Corp Yard.With Council approval of the funding strategy for the Sports Field
and Pool Projects,staff will be moving forward with a third tranche of Lease Revenue Bonds to be issued in
Summer 2022.
The chart below shows a projection of Measure W revenues against all known existing expenditure
obligations.
Chart 1: Measure W Revenues vs. Current Debt Service
Through FY 2023-24,the difference between Measure W revenues and expenditures (represented by the striped
green bar)is reserved and will be used towards the Civic Campus project.However,after FY 2023-24,the City

does have the financial capacity to absorb the debt service of a third bond financing.

Community Civic Campus Construction Update.(Jacob Gilchrist, Director of Capital Projects)
Starting in 2017, the City of South San Francisco assembled a team to plan, design and build a new Community
Civic Campus, home to new facilities for Police, Library, and Parks and Recreation. The team includes
SmithGroup (Architect), Kitchell CEM (Construction Management) and Swinerton Builders (General
Contractor).
Phase One, the new Police Operations and 9-1-1 Dispatch Center, will increase emergency response speed and
enhance public safety by providing a state-of-the-art 9-1-1 Emergency Response Center. The station provides
space for 125 police employees for administration, operations, investigation, property storage, evidence
storage, support services, emergency dispatch, and training.
Phase One construction began in February 2020, with six months of underground utilities and foundation work.
113 piles were drilled to a depth of 60 - 70 feet. Construction of the concrete masonry support building began
in July 2020. This Support Building houses a firing range, K-9 units and motorcycle and bicycle squad
parking. The Main Building will house offices, 911 Dispatch Center and detention cells. Construction of the
main building began in October 2020 and continued throughout 2021.
As of late October 2021, the project is nearly complete. The exterior of the building is essentially finished,
while the final work to the electrical, information technology, and communication systems is completed in the
building interior. Construction will be completed in December 2021, providing the citizens with a safe and
efficient facility for decades to come. The Station will be fully operational in January 2022.
Phase Two of the Civic Campus, the Library, Parks & Recreation and Community Theater/Council Chamber,
includes 84,250 sq-ft building, 12,400 sq-ft parking garage, surface parking and 1.35-acre park. The building
includes an automated library book return, event spaces, teaching and catering kitchens, dance and exercise
studios, classrooms for all ages, children, youth, and adult libraries, a discovery center including a maker space,
community room and digital studio, administrative offices and the new SSF City Council Chamber. The park
includes a playground, synthetic turf field and a garden. Underground utilities and foundation work are coming
to an end in September with the delivery and erection of steel.
Phase Two began in January 2021. Swinerton Builders completed site preparation, mobilization, and
underground utilities. Since March 2021, Swinerton Builders has worked on the foundation which included
installing the El Camino Real temporary shoring wall with tiebacks, drilling 309 25’-34’ deep piles, installing
rebar, placing concrete footings and shooting shotcrete for retaining wall along El Camino Real. Contractor has
also completed all the site’s underground utilities and presently is working on the underground plumbing and
electrical under the building slab. In September and October 2021 Swinerton erected the steel for the building
structure. The next phase of construction includes the installation of the concrete floor slabs for each story of
the building. Construction is expected to be complete in mid-2023.
