TO: Industrial Development Authority Members
FROM: Jim Steele, Director of Finance
SUBJECT: ANNUAL INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council, acting in the capacity of the Industrial Development
Authority, approve the minutes from last year's meeting dated December 13, 2006.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
From time to time, cities find it expeditious to form non-profit corporations and/or Joint Powers
Authorities in order to facilitate various public financing arrangements. Under those circumstances,
the City Council acts as a separate body, acting as the Board of Directors for each of those corporate
bodies in the same way it also acts as the Redevelopment Agency Board. On an annual basis, the
City Council, acting as the Board of Directors for each of those corporate bodies is required to meet
and take action. The purpose of this memo is to facilitate the annual meeting of the Industrial
Development Authority.
This authority was set up on March 28, 1984 to allow the City to facilitate the sale of pass through
tax-exempt bonds for use by private companies under certain conditions restricted by the Internal
Revenue Service. Due to their tax-exempt nature, their use is limited primarily to financing the
construction of small manufacturing plants, pollution control facilities, and several other narrowly
restricted purposes. There is an annual application process by which the State authorizes projects for
these purposes. The State also institutes an annual cap on the total industrial development bonds that
can be issued in the State in the upcoming year.
FUNDING
There is no fiscal impact from approving staff s recommended action.

SUBJECT: ANNUAL CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FINANCING AUTHORITY MEETING
RECOIVIl~~NDATION
It is recommended that the City Council, acting in the capacity of the Capital Improvement
Financing Authority, approve the minutes from the meeting dated December 13, 2006.
BACKGROUND/DISCUS SION
From time to time, cities find it expeditious to form non-profit corporations and/or Joint Powers
Authorities in order to facilitate various public financing arrangements. Under those circumstances,
the City Council acts as a separate body, acting as the Board of Directors for each of those corporate
bodies in the same way it also acts as the Redevelopment Agency Board. On an annual basis, the
City Council, acting as the Board of Directors for each of those corporate bodies is required to meet
and take action. The purpose of this memo is to facilitate the annual meeting of the Capital
Improvement Financing Authority.
This Authority was set up as a Joint Powers Authority on September 11, 1991 between the City and
the Redevelopment Authority. Its existence allows the City to enter into more advantageous
financing arrangements than it otherwise could. For example, in 1991, the Capital Improvement
Financing Authority sold bonds to finance the construction of the Conference Center, backed by the
newly instituted $2.50 per room night hotel tax, approved by voters in 1989.
FUNDING
There is no fiscal impact from approving staff's recommended action.

DATE: December 12, 200'7
TO: Redevelopment Agency Board
FROM: Marty Van Duyn, Assistant Executive Director
SUBJECT: PURCHASE ANI;- SALE AGREEMENT FOR 314 MILLER AVENUE
REC®19~I1VIEl®1DA'TI®lel
It is recon~n-ended that the Soutli San Francisco Redevelopment Agency Boas°d adopt a
Resolution authorizing the Executive Director to execute a Purchase and Sale Agreement for
property located at 314 biller Avenue.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The property located at 314 Miller Avenue (APN 012-311-250) is between City Parking Lot 6
and two Agency owned residential properties at 310-312 Miller Avenue. Constructed in 1906, the
subject property has street fiontage on both Miller Avenue and Tamarack Lane. The property is
3,500 square feet and has two residential units. The main structure facing, Miller Avenue, is a
recently remodeled two-bedroom unit. The rear unit, facing Tamarack Lane, is a junior one bed-
room unit. Low-income families occupy both units. The property's appraised value is $685,000
and the Agency has agreed to pay $679,950 for the property. Because of its age, the home is on
the list of potentially historical significant buildings.
It is the Agency's intent to maintain the units as affordable residential housing. With this
purchase, the Agency will complete the assemblage of a contiguous 24,500 square foot lot where
it will have the ability to construct a. multi-family residential development. In the event the
Agency decides to construct amulti-family residential development, all tenants on the project site
would be relocated pursuant to Redevelopment Law. Relocation rights include the option for
returning once a new housing project is completed. Similarly, the Agency will take appropriate
steps to assess the historical value of the building.
The City Building Inspector has conducted an inspection of the property and has determined the
units do not have any dangerous code violations or items requiring immediate correction.
However, the Building Division does not have any permit records for the installation of a
bathroom and kitchen in the rear unit. Upon taking ownership, the Agency will determine
whether it will retain the unit and make corrections as necessary or turn the unit into a garage and
storage area. As a result, once the Agency takes ownership the tenants of the rear unit will be
relocated to a vacant unit at 312A Miller Avenue pursuant to Redevelopment Law. In addition,
North Peninsula Neighborhood Services Center, Inc. will manage the property under the direction
of the Economic and Community Development Department.

property located at 21b Baden Avenue.

and an Agency owned commercial property at 212 Baden Avenue (former Giorgi Bothers
furniture store). The property has street frontage on both Baden Avenue and Second Lane. The
property is 3,500 square feet and has t:wo buildings. The main structure, facing Baden Avenue, is
the former Hot Shots Cafe. The rear building, facing Second Lane, is a two car garage. The
property's appraised value is $710,000 and after substantial negotiations, the Agency has agreed
to pay $781,000 for the property.

bank building at 200 Linden avenue (currently occupied by the City's Information Technology
Department) and City Parking Lot 4 facing Crrand Avenue. Assemblage of this land will begin to
open development opportunities for a major downtown project.
The Agency will conduct building and envirorumental inspection of the property prior to the close
of escrow. In addition the Planning Commission reviewed the proposed acquisition for
conformity with City's General Plan as required by State Law on December 6, 2007,

Honorable Mayor Richard Garbarino, Sr..,

The purpose of this letter is to ask for your support and your vote for my appointment to the
Transportation Authority (TA) Board. This seat has become available by the departure of our esteemed
Colleague, Honorable Joe Fernekes. My colleague, Lee Panza, former Mayor of Brisbane, successfully
served on this seat, representing the North County for a number of years. After a realistic assessment of
my other obligations, I decided to endorse Joe Fernekes for this appointment.
I am now coming before you to ask for :your support and your vote for my appointment to the TA Board
representing the North of our County. 'T'his seat is extremely important in our area due to the fact that
tremendous development planning is urtderway, both in our North County and adjacent San Francisco
County. Transportation is a major component of all these expansions and my City is in the midst of all
these developments. My transportation expertise and my familiarity with all these development plans,
and complexities of the public transportation, well equip me to serve on the TA Board.
Aside from my financial expertise, my e~:tensive transportation background includes serving on the
following boards, commissions and cormruttees:
- Congestion Environment/Air Quality Management Committee (CEMAQ) -Vice Chair
- CalTrain Advisory Conunittee (CAC) -Chair and Finance Ad Hoc Committee member
- Traffic Congestion Alliance Board (ALLIANCE) -Employee Compensation and Benefits
- City/County Association of Governments (C/CAG) -Finance and Legislation Committees
- Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) -Regional Planning Committee
In addition, I am a commuter as well as a. public transportation rider. On any given day, I might commute
about 200 miles per day. Great strides have been made in improving public transportation in our County.
At the same time, a lot is yet to be done. I do believe in order to have a very efficient transportation
system, we musi continually address the issues of frequency, affordability, time saving, cost effectiveness,
and safety concerns. We must be mindfitl that our population is getting older and that many of residents
Providing Quality Services
live on the hillside. Effective public transportation should include provisions to address these areas, as
well.
Even though, I am from a small city, I think globally and regionally. Yet, I act locally. My interest is to
represent the interests of all our cities, spf;cial districts, and of our County. As I have demonstrated in the
past, I will continue to fully commit myse;lf to successfully serve on this Board and leave a lasting legacy
of advancing public transportation in our County.
Thank you for your consideration and vote. Please feel free to contact me at (415)467-6409 or
e-mail to sepirichardson(c~sbcglobal.net.

Dear Mayor Garbarino and City Council:
.,; r

,.~ ~ ~}?
t-%~` .
I'm interested in serving you as the Cities-At-Large representative on the San Mateo County
Transportation Authority (TA} Board. I write today to seek your support for my candidacy.
I have served our region in a number ofinfrastructure-related capacities:
Q Bay Area Water Supply and Conservation Agency (BAWSCA} 2005 to present
Contract Initiation Committee (CIC), 2005 to 2006
Policy Advisory Committee (PA(;), 2005 to present
a City/County Association of Gove;nunents (C/CAG) 2007
Alternate, 2005-2006
San Francisquito Creek Joint Powers Authority (SFC 3PA)
Alternate, 2004-2007
In addition, I have been active in engaging Caltrain's JPB and Santa Clara County's VTA in discussions
regarding bus and rail service to our communities.
During my tenure as mayor, Menlo Park's council has initiated action on a number of big challenges:
• A vision for revitalizing El Camino Real and our downtown
• Aland use plan for our Dumbarton Rail Station at Willow Road
• An inventory ofclimate-changing pollutants, and initiation of a Climate Action Plan including
actions in 2007-08 budget
• A report of rail grade separation options
e A discussion of water policy on an upcoming agenda
o A comprehensive overhaul of financial reporting to the public
• An aggressive approach to economic development
I won't shy away from grappling with the toughest challenges at the regional level, either. Engaged
inquiry and oversight is a necessity on #oday's boards -both private and public.
As a civil engineer with over 20 years of professional experience, I bring a practical perspective to
transportation and large infrastructure projects. My educational background - including a masters and
PhD from Stanford University in civil engineering -also provides me a strong foundation in evaluating
operational and capital priorities and projects.
In recent weeks, I have had the honor of touring a number of the cities and. towns of San Mateo County, to
improve my understanding of each one's unique character and hopes for the future.
As your Cities-At-Large representative, Iwill be accessible and responsive. I will ensure that every city
has a voice in the business and. decisions of the Transportation Authority, and that the Board's business is
conducted in an open and transparent mariner.
Thank you for your consideration of this request. You can reach me at (650) 207-9334 or

Please accept my name for consideration to replace Marc Hershman as the Central Cities representative to the
SamTrans Board of Directors. Mayor Hershman will be ending his cun•ent term on the Millbrae City Council
due to teen limits.
In addition to the many transportation-related. activities I am involved with as a member of the San Mateo City
Council, I believe the following experiences will enable me to hit the ground running as a SamTrans Board
Member and begin making good transportation-related public policy decisions for the residents of S.an Mateo
County:
0 5aa~ Mateo City Council member since 2000 (Mayor in 2004)
o Member of the SamTrans Paratransit Coordinating Council
o City of San Mateo representative to C:CAG
o Citti~ of San Mateo representative to I-[FART and cui-~•ent HEART Board Chair
o Participation in Bay Meadows Phase II development approval process which will result in one of the
most comprehensive transit-oriented :infill projects nl San Mateo County
o Participation in the "Grand Boulevard" project to redevelop the EI Camino Real through San Mateo
County and improve this vital mass transit con•idor
o Participation in the San Mateo City Council's plamiing committee. process to create land use policies for
transit-oriented development including traffic demand management.
I understand and respect the complexities and challenges our county faces as we move to aeduce traffic
Cnnoection, improve our mass transit systems, and build infill, transit-oriented projects.
San Mateo County is a unique collection of cities and towns. The characteristics and needs of these communities
include aural, coastal, and suburban considerations. As a regional body, SamTrans must balance the needs of
each community, while also implementing transportation policies that serve the entire transportation system.
There is not a `'one size fits all" solution to our transportation needs and I will work with my colleagues and the
communities we represent to build consensus and make smart public policy decisions.
I'm committed to regional plamzina and believe I can make. positive contributions to SamTrans and San Mateo
County.

Dear Councilmember Gordon:
Please accept my name far consideration as member of the HEART board.
There are three seats up for consideration at your next. meeting, and I would like
to be considered for one of they seats that will be up for election in early 2008.
South San Francisco has beE,n extremely aggressive in the area of affordable
housing. Our City Council passed an affordable housing ordinance in 2001
mandating that a minimum of twenty percent of all approved residential
development, consisting of fol.lr or more units, be restricted to and affordable to
lower-income households. We are also requiring that at feast twenty percent of
all new dwelling units be restricted to and affordable to low or moderate income
households. While we are new to the HEART organization, we have made
considerable efforts towards affordable housing.
I have been a member of the South San Francisco City Council since 2000,
serving as Mayor in 2003, arrd will assume the position of Mayor again in 2008.
Affordable housing and assistance for low-income families are a priority for me
and is reflected in my partici~,pation in the Historic Old Town Homeowners and
Renters Association since 1584. As a co-founder and past President of this
organization, we have worked to encourage homeowners and renters to have
pride in their neighborhood and be productive members of the community. I
have also served on the Board of Directors for North Peninsula Neighborhood
Services which serves low income families in northern San Mateo County.

ITEMS FROM COUNCIL
Councilman Addiego congratulated Mayor Garbarino on his reelection and welcomed and
congratulated newly elected Councilmember Kevin Mullin. He also congratulated the newly
elected City Clerk, Krista Martinelli-Larson, thanking the other candidates in making the
election a celebration of the democratic process. Councilmember Addiego thanked
Councilmembers Fernekes and Matsumoto for supporting Measures B & C.
Councilwoman Matsumoto thanked the voters for passing Measures B & C. Given the shortfall
forthcoming in 2009/201.0 these measures will be very helpful in pre-positioning the City for the
expected economic downfall. She thanked staff for all their hard work in preparation to have
the measures on the ballot; all work and time was pro bono. Councilwoman Matsumoto
commended ajob-well-done for the Halloween Extravaganza and the Senior Boutique events.
She invited the public to Project Re;ad's Trivia Challenge on Friday, November 16. Reporting
out from the BPAC, Council of Cities, CMEC, C/CAG, SamTrans meetings: business as usual.
Councilmember Fernekes also congratulated Mayor Garbarino, Kevin Mullin, and Krista
Martinelli-Larson in their positions after the election. He also thanked staff, Barry Nagel and
Steve Mattas for their help in passing Measures B& C since they would help increase the City's
funds at no cost to residents. Day in the Park meeting was held with great end results from this
year's event and looking forward to wonderful ideas for next year's centennial celebration. He
attended along with Mayor Garbarino the Housing Subcommittee, including representatives
from Genentech and HEART to discuss the possibilities of the City joining HEART.
Genentech offered a contribution of $200,000 a year for the next five years to HEART to allow
the money to be used only in South. San Francisco. The consensus of the subcommittee was to
bring forth to Council for consideration of this donation. Councilman Fernekes along with
Councilman Addiego met with the Kaiser Subcommittee to discuss future plans and agreed to
meet again for follow up.
REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING November 14, 2007
MINUTES PAGE 2
Vice Mayor Gonzalez discussed the results of the WTA funding informing Council that he had
met with the City of Redwood Ci1:y along with Councilmember Addiego and came to the
conclusion that in order to proceed with the ferry terminal project, it was agreed that a 50/50
distribution of Measure A funding would be acceptable. Councilmember Addiego added that it
became obvious that Redwood City was firm in their stance regarding the way funds were to be
distributed and said that WTA Director Steve Castleberry, who also participated in the meeting,
believed that the City of South San Francisco would be first in line to receive funds from
WETA. Councilwoman Matsumoto requested to see a business plan for this project, stating
what if ridership is not as projected and WETA decides to pull one of the boats and puts it in
operation somewhere else, and voiced her concern over the County not having any
representation on WETA. Vice Mayor Gonzalez suggested that WTA Director Castleberry
present answers to Councilwoman Matsumoto's questions to council at a future Council
Meeting. Councilmember Addiego suggested that perhaps businesses could commit to
purchasing tickets for employees to use for commuting on ferries.
City Manager Barry Nagel asked for direction from council to prepare a letter from Mayor
Garbarino to WTA agreeing to and accepting the distribution of funds at 50/50 between the City
of South San Francisco and the City of Redwood City.
In addition, Vice Mayor Gonzalez mentioned he attended several events but in interest of time,
he will hold over to the next meeting although he did say regarding the oil spill in the S.F. Bay
that Governor Schwarzenegger gave; an order to the Department of Fish & Game to restrict all
fishing in the area. Vice Mayor Gonzalez asked the public to restrict fishing in the City of
South San Francisco as well.
Mayor Garbarino extended his congratulations to newly elected Councilmember Kevin Mullin
and City Clerk Krista Martinelli-Larson. He thanked everyone who called and sent cards to
congratulate him on his reelection. He announced the birth of seventh grandchild, Gabriela
Marie, born Sunday, November 4, 2007 and weighing in at 8 lbs. 7 oz.
Councilwoman Matsumoto congratulated Fire Chief White and the Fire Department for an
outstanding job on teaching children during Fire Prevention Week.
Councilmember Addiego began discussion on the consideration of Council's Discretionary
Benefit Option program and announced that council had agreed a better program for the
Council's Discretionary Benefit Option would be 50% of the current cost with a cap.
Councilmember Addiego added that in the year 2000 the cost for benefits was $500 for the
employee in comparison. to this ye;ar's cost of $1,100. Councilmember Fernekes added this
would be a cost saving for the city and would benefit employees.

7. Resolution No. - 108-2007 approving the installation of stop signs on Arroyo Drive at
the intersection of Cuesta Drive/Capay Circle, Del Monte Avenue, Indio Drive, Lomitas
Avenue/Capay Circle, and Erica Drive/Escanyo Drive
Associate Civil Engineer, Tracy Scramaglia, stated the Traffic Advisory Committee (TAC)
received a request for the installation of stop signs on Arroyo Drive at the intersections of
Cuesta Drive/Capay Circle, Del Monte Avenue, Indio Drive, Lomitas Avenue/Capay Circle,
and Erica Drive/Escanyo Drive. After reviewing the request and the intersection of Arroyo
Drive and Capay Circle/Cuesta Drive, TAC concluded that it did not meet the Caltrans warrants
for installation. However, City Council adopted a policy in November 2006, directing staff to
consider the collection of a majority of the residents living in a 300-foot radius of the
intersection. This was accomplished by 30 signatures of the 48 needed to meet the guidelines.
While evaluating Arroyo Drive, staff noted several atypical stop controlled intersections with
REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING November 14, 2007
MINUTES PAGE 4
stop signs on only one direction of .Arroyo Drive. TAC reviewed the additional locations and
recommended installation of all-way stop signs at these locations. Mayor Garbarino and Vice
Mayor Gonzalez suggested defined crosswalks at these intersections. Councilmembers
Addiego and Matsumoto commented that the defined crosswalks might create a false sense of
safety. City Manager Nagel, suggested TAC take another look at the area and provide a report
for justification for any or all intersections.
Motion-Addiego/Second-Gonzalez: To approve Resolution No. - 108-2007
approving the installation of stop signs on Arroyo Drive at the intersection of
Cuesta Drive/Capay Circle., Del Monte Avenue, Indio Drive, Lomitas
Avenue/Capay Circle, andl Erica Drive/Escanyo Drive, unanimously
approved by voice vote, 5-0.
8. Resolution No.109-2007 approving the installation of a stop sign on Junipero Serra
Boulevard at King Drive
Associate Civil Engineer, Tracy Scramaglia, informed Council that TAC had received a request
from the Police Department for installation of a stop sign on northbound Junipero Serra
Boulevard at King Drive replacing a yield sign. TAC reviewed the request at its September 26,
2007 meeting and recommended that the yield sign be replaced with a stop sign. Drivers
currently neglect vehicles exiting resident's driveway at King Drive. A stop sign would require
drivers to stop as opposed to yielding for eastbound traffic and allow drivers to view a vehicle
exiting the nearby driveway.
Motion-Gonzalez/Second-Fernekes: To approve Resolution No.109-2007
approving the installation of a stop sign on Junipero Serra Boulevard at King
Drive
9. Resolution No. 110-2007 approving 2006-07 Year-End financial results and budget
closing
Finance Director, Jim Steele gave an overview of the 2006-2007 Year-End financial results
commenting that general fund revenues have come in $3.1 million higher than budget. Much of
that revenue is probably non-recurring or can slow down somewhere in the future. Some
examples of those are: building east of 101 and property taxes. Building and Fire permits came
in $1.1 million over budget but can be volatile. Other revenues came from charges for services
with ambulance revenues, Basic Life Support and Advanced Life Support, Police Services
Reimbursements, and Child Care. Interest earnings were higher due to higher reserves and
higher overall portfolio earnings :rates than a year ago. Finance Director Steele, further
explained the Retiree Health Obligation is on apay-as-you-go basis and recommends setting
aside $3 million in the Reserve for Post-Employment (Retiree) Health Benefits budget towards
that particular liability and reassured that it would not restrict Council from using these funds in
an emergency. Other expenditures include: Police Department overtime needed for
investigations related to six major incidents and the need to maintain minimum staffing. The
Fire Department overtime reflected has been reimbursed by OES; Attorney's Office reflecting
litigation and pending litigation -total of departments expenditures are $214,000 or .4% below
budget.
REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING November 14, 2007
MINUTES PAGE 5
Councilwoman Matsumoto asked Police and Fire if the overtime in their departments are
covered by the outside agencies or through program funding. Police Chief Raffaelli replied that
the overtime backfill was not reimbursed; Fire Chief White replied that OES reimbursed both
the overtime and the backfill. Vice T/Iayor Gonzalez asked if recent housing foreclosures would
have an effect on any future revenues and property tax and Finance Director Steele thought it
might have some impact but not a dramatic impact.
Motion- Matsumoto/Second Addiego: - To approve Resolution No. 110-2007 approving
2006-07 Year-End financial results and budget closing
10. Review of Miller Avenue Parking Structure Design
Associate Planner, Chad Smalley reported to Council that approximately 100 notices were
distributed to businesses informing them of an October 29 meeting where the design team
would conduct a presentation of the; different `styles' for the parking structure. The attendees
(12) were informally polled at the end of the presentation and the results showed that a more
"traditional" alternate was preferred and a 5'/z-story version was strongly favored.
Councilmembers Addiego and Matsumoto preferred the 4% -story version to fit in with the tone
of the city's downtown area. Vice Mayor agreed with the structure concept and asked if perhaps
bricks could be added to the structure to hide parked cars.
Council Consenus: Direct staff to proceed with the design of a 4 % level
parking structure based on th.e "Traditional" style as presented.
11. Consider report on City Council Expense Reimbursement Policy and expense reports
and provide direction regarding amendments to the policy, the related forms and
enforcement options
City Attorney, Steve Mattas, recommended to the City Council to review the report provided on
City Council Expense Reimbursement Policy and Expense Reports. Mr. Mattas also suggested
for consideration, that the Finance :Director or his designee to review future expense reports to
confirm compliance with adopted policy. Councilman Addiego was pleased with the idea of
having a mechanism to assist council with compliance of the reimbursement policy.
Councilmembers Matsumoto and Fernekes reviewed the report provided by staff and came up
with a dollar amount of $1,500 per councilmember for expenditures on an annual basis.
Council discussed the different non-profit events, conferences, county and regional conferences,
which would qualify under the `,1,500 cap. Some discussion was exchanged regarding
conferences such as the BIO conferences in Chicago and Boston in regards to how many
Councilmembers should attend. Vice Mayor Gonzalez commented the importance of council's
attendance, support and representation is to non-profit organizations. Non profit organizations
service the City of South San Francisco and the representation and attendance from the city is
important for further education and knowledge of their services. He also mentioned that the
League of California Cities is in conjunction with Santa Clara County and thus would fall out of
the San Mateo County boundary for attendance and asked council to consider making an
exception in regards to attendance- for events outside of San Mateo County. Councilwoman
Matsumoto reassured the Vice Mayor the attendance to the four League of California Cities
dinner/meetings throughout the year was factored into the $1,500 cap.
REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING November 14, 2007
MINUTES PAGE 6
Council Consensus: Recommend amendments to the City Council Handbook
relating to 1) language of the City Council Expense Reimbursement Policy; and/or 2)
implementation and 3) enforcement of said Policy to be agendized at the next City
Council meeting.
12. Resolution No. 111-2007 authorizing an extension of the current compensation plan
agreement for the South San Francisco Executive Management Unit Employees
City Manager, Barry Nagel, explained to Council that staff had met with the Executive
Management Unit and agreed upon the current Compensation Plan. Both parties agreed upon a
standard compensation survey each year to the 60th percentile as the basis for any salary
adjustment. The agreement extension has been reviewed and approved as to form by the City
Attorney. Adoption of the resolution allows the extension. of the existing agreement.
Councilwoman Matsumoto thanked Executive Management Unit employees recognizing the
financial problems which the city will be encountering in the next few years.
Motion- Fernekes/Second Matsumoto: - To approve Resolution No.

funding in the amount of $5,000 fra~m The Edwards Family Fund to purchase books for
elementary school age children and amend the Library Department's operating budget for fiscal
year 2007/2008.
BACKGROUND
Children's Services, South San Francisco Publie Library, has received a $5,000 grant from The Edwards

TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Jim Steele, Finance Director
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL, OF THE CITY OF SOUTH SAN
FRANCISCO DECLARING ITS INTENT TO ISSUE TAX-EXEMPT
OBLIGATIONS 7'O BE USED TO REIMBURSE THE CITY FOR
EXPENDITURES PRIOR TO THE ISSUANCE OF SUCH TAX-EXEMPT
OBLIGATIONS, AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO SIGN LEASE
DOCUMENTS RELATED TO LEASE/PURCHASE OF FIRE ENGINES
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution declaring its intention to use tax
exempt lease proceeds to reimburse the City for the purchase of two fire engines that have
been budgeted in the 2007-08 budget. The resolution also authorizes the City Manager to
execute lease documents for the fire engines in a program through the Association of Bay Area
Governments (ABAG) Leasing Program.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
The Council has approved replacement of two fire engines in the 2007-08 equipment replacement
budget, shown in two budget document page attachments. The budget anticipated that those two
vehicles would be acquired with lease financing, as those pages show. The City's practice has been
to fund the acquisition of expensivf: pieces of equipment using lease/purchase financing to preserve
cash. Because interest rates are relatively low by historical standards, the proposed option comes at
minimal cost to the City.
ABAG offers a leasing program through the ABAG Financial Services division. The ABAG Leasing
Program is designed to provide cities and other agencies with the lowest possible market lease rates
on atax-exempt basis. The advantage in using the ABAG Leasing Program is that lower interest
rates can be obtained through comlretitive bidding with minimal administrative fees. The Municipal
Finance Corporation will facilitate the bidding process for ABAG and the City and will recommend
qualifying bidders to the City. Access to a wider range of lenders should result in lower rates for the
City's leasing transactions. The Municipal Finance Corporation will also assist the City in
negotiating lease purchase terms and preparing the final lease documents.
Staff Report
Subject: Fire Trucks Lease Purchase
Page 2
Under the ABAG Leasing Program, the City's acquisition costs of approximately $906,000 will be
reimbursed from lease proceeds, and the City will make payments over the term of the leases, usually
7-12 years.
Under Internal Revenue Service (IR.S) guidelines, if the City wishes to use tax-exempt lease proceeds
to reimburse itself after the fact fo:r an equipment purchase, the City must declare its intention to
reimburse itself. The attached resolution contains the necessary language to secure tax exempt
financing, and authorizes the City Manager to execute final lease documents on behalf of the City.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The purchase cost for the two vehicles has been budgeted at $906,000.
CONCLUSION:
The ABAG financing program will. provide cost effective financing for the replacement of two key
pieces of the City's fleet.

constructing the new breakwater wall.
o The WTA shall cease to exist on January 1, 2008, and a new agency called the Water Emergency
Transit Authority ("WETA") will come into existence and perform similar functions. To ensure
that the District receives the Payment, the lease provides that, when and if the City receives the

TO: Honorable Mayor anal City Council
FROM: Marty Van Duyn, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT FOR 314 MILLER AVENUE
REC®MlO~IEIeTDATI®li~
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution finding that the acquisition of
Pa•operty at 314 Miller .venue by tlhe Redevelopment Agency pursuant to the terms of the
Purchase and Sale Agreement will benefit the Project Area by providing affordable housing
aaad approving the purchase of the property.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The property located at 314 Miller Avenue (APN 012-311-250) is between City Parking Lot 6
and two Agency owned residential properties at 310-312 Miller Avenue. Constructed in 1906, the
subject property has street frontage on both Miller Avenue and Tamarack Lane. The property is
3,500 square feet and has two residential units. The main structure facing, Miller Avenue, is a
recently remodeled two-bedroom unit. The rear unit, facing Tamarack Lane, is a junior one bed-
room unit. Low-income families occupy both units. The property's appraised value is $685,000
and the Agency has agreed. to pay $67'x,950 for the property. Because of its age, the home is on
the list of potentially historical significant buildings.
It is the Agency's intent to maintain the units as affordable residential housing. With this
purchase, the Agency will complete th.e assemblage of a contiguous 24,500 square foot lot where
it will have the ability to construct a multi-family residential development. In the event the
Agency decides to construct amulti-family residential development, all tenants on the project site
would be relocated pursuant to Redevelopment Law. Relocation rights include the option far
returning once a new housing project i.s completed. Similarly, the Agency will take appropriate
steps to assess the historical value of the building.
The City Building Inspector has conducted an inspection of the property and has determined the
units do not have any dangerous code violations or items requiring immediate correction.
However, the Building Division does :not have any permit records for the installation of a
bathroom and kitchen in the rear unit. Upon taking ownership, the Agency will determine
whether it will retain the unit and make corrections as necessary or turn the unit into a garage and
storage area. As a result, once the Agency takes ownership the tenants of the rear unit will be
relocated to a vacant unit at 312A Milder Avenue pursuant to Redevelopment Law. In addition,
North Peninsula Neighborhood Services Center, Inc, will manage the property under the direction
of the Economic and Community Development Department.

FROM: Marty Van Duyn, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: MILLER AVENUE PARKING STRUCTURE
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution:
1) adopting a Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environmental Impacts for the project and,
2) approving the design of the Miller .Avenue Parking Structure and directing staff to proceed with
the construction documents and bidding phase.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
On October 10, 2007 Watry Design, Inc. presented the Downtown Subcommittee with six alternative
schematic designs for the Miller Avenue Parking Structure to be located on existing surface lots on the 300
Block of Miller Avenue. Since that time, a City Council study session and a Downtown Subcommittee
merchant's meeting were held to discuss the design concepts.
On November 14, 2007, the City Council directed staff to proceed with the 4'/z story, "Traditional"
alternative, subject to returning to the Council for approval of final design-level plans with standard
details, including exterior finish colors and materials and illustrations that depict the aesthetic impact of
parked cars within the structure.
In response to these requests, the design team has prepared the attached plans for approval. Proposed
exterior finish materials will be discussed in more detail by the architect at the Council meeting. The detail
drawings on sheet A5.1 depict the distance from the parking spaces to the face of the building in order to
help demonstrate the relative visibility of parked cars from locations outside of the building.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Initial Study, prepared by staff, identified and discussed the impacts of the parking structure resulting
in a Mitigated Negative Declaration being prepared for adoption.
The mitigation measures require development of a "Preservation Plan" in order to address the potential
impact to cultural resources posed by th.e required removal of the residential duplex at 323 Miller Avenue.
The Preservation Plan will incorporate either relocation of the structure or salvage and reuse of historical

building materials in order to mitigate this impact to a less than significant level. The mitigation measures
will be implemented via inclusion into the bid documents for the project.
The 20 day comment period commenced November 15, 2007 and ended December 5, 2007. No written
comments were received; however, an owner of adjacent property did verbally express concerns to staff on
December 5, 2007, principally regarding vandalism and trespassing concerns, as well as proximity of the
structure to existing apartments.
Staff expects that vandalism and trespass issues will be improved over current conditions, due to the
inclusion of active commercial uses on the ground floor of the structure. With regard to setbacks, the
Downtown Commercial (D-C) zoning district provides for property line-to-property line development in
most cases, consistent with the urban pattern found in most traditional Downtowns. As proposed, the side
walls of the parking structure are set back 1' from the property lines, with only architectural features (e.g.
cornices) approaching the property line.
FUNDING
A concept financing plan was approved for the project at the Redevelopment Agency Board's meeting of
February 14, 2007. Preliminary estimates of construction costs total $11,814,075, which includes optional
features such as an electronic counting system, electric vehicle charging stations, aroof-mounted
photovoltaic (solar) array and a geo-thermal loop. Without these features, costs decrease by $857,000 to
$10,957,075.
CONCLUSION
The Parking Structure as proposed is the result of a collaborative effort between City Councilmembers,
Downtown business and property owners and staff. As proposed, the project is consistent with the General
Plan and Redevelopment Plan polices applicable to Downtown that seek to strengthen the Downtown's
presence as the City's traditional commercial core.
Staff therefore recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution to approve the design of
the Miller Avenue Parking Structure and direct staff to proceed with the construction documents and
bidding phase, and adopt the attached Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environmental Impacts for the
project.
