Honorable Mayor, Vice Mayor, Council Members, City Officials and members of the South
San Francisco community.
My name is Wendy Sinclair-Smith. I am a resident of South San Francisco and am in
retirement.
I am addressing the item on the agenda regarding the Public Survey and it's subsequent
affect of the fate of the MSB.
During several days in the past year 2023 I received phone calls from a South San Francisco
survey conducted by a third party. I had heard there would be an opportunity for input
regarding the MSB. However, I did not know how the City would conduct it's outreach. Now I
must mention that on a daily basis I get on average a dozen Telemarketing calls. I generally
check the readout in case it's important. When a survey showed up I had no reason to
anticipate it was SSF City related and they left no message. Shortly after I learned that was a
City sponsored survey and so hoped they would call back. They did, but never let it ring long
enough (only 3 times) and I missed it twice. Finally I was right there and when I answered,
they asked for someone whose name had no connection to my phone number and would not
let me do the survey.
From this experience, I would cast extreme doubt on the worthiness of this Community
Survey Results expected in this meeting today. And since the results of this survey are
anticipated to affect conclusions regarding the MSB, I suggest anyone hearing this or
reading this, to consider redoing a community outreach survey.
I have a foreboding that the results will be utilized in the decision to sell the MSB.
As you can most definitely determine, I am in support of the SAVE THE MSB for community
use Project.
Please DON'T sell the MSB.

In regards to the proposed relocation of the fire station from the MSB to Camaritas, please
be fiscally responsible. The MSB is already bought and paid for and the fire station can be
expanded into the areas of the MSB vacated by the police force.
Please return the MSB property to multi purpose, so it can continue to provide an appropriate
gathering place for the residents of our community.
Thank you for considering my comments.
