• South San Francisco Centennial Night at the Giants Game on May 13, 2008- presented by
Centennial Committee Members Jeanette Holt, Lisa DeMattei and Superintendant of the
South San Francisco Unified School District, Barbara Olds.
Superintendant of the South San Francisco Unified School District Barbara Olds thanked
Council for partnering with the School District to sponsor the Centennial Night at the Giants
Game scheduled for May 13, 2008. She estimated that more than 2700 South San Francisco
community members would attend the game.
South San Francisco Centennial Committee member Jeanette Holt invited Council and the
community to the Centennial Night Game at AT&T Park to watch the Giants play the Houston
Astros. The El Camino and South San Francisco High School Bands would play in Willie
Mays Plaza at 5:15 p.m. and would perform the National Anthem on the field prior to the game.
Mayor Pedro Gonzalez would be throwing out the ceremonial first pitch. Tickets would cost
$20 and could be purchased at the Recreation and Community Services Dept. located at 33
Arroyo Drive. Residents were invited to ca11650-829-3800 for additional information.
Mayor Pro Tem Matsumoto encouraged residents to take public transportation to the event.
• North Peninsula Trade Summit & Job Fair on Thursday, May 22, 2008 at the South San
Francisco Conference Center- presented by Maria Martinucci, President of the South San
Francisco Chamber of Commerce.
President of the South San Francisco Chamber of Commerce Maria Martinucci advised Council
and the community of the trade summit and job fair that would take place at the South San
Francisco Conference Center on May 22, 2008 between 4:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. She advised
that other sponsoring Chambers included Brisbane, Daly City, Colma, San Bruno, Millbrae and
Burlingame. Interested persons could ca11650-588-1911 for additional information.
Proclamation recognizing West Nile Virus and Mosquito Vector Control Awareness Week
presented by Mayor Gonzalez to Ray Honan of the San Mateo County Mosquito Abatement
District.
Mayor Gonzalez thanked Mr. Honan for his service on the San Mateo County Mosquito
Abatement District. He then presented Mr. Honan with a proclamation establishing the week of
Apri121-25, 2008 as West Nile Virus and Mosquito and Vector Control Awareness Week in
South San Francisco.
Mr. Honan introduced Mosquito Abatement District Manager Robert Gay. He further explained
that the District would be starting its annual catch basin and creek program during the following
week. He opined that it would be a tough year for mosquito abatement. He advised citizens to
go to www.smcmad.or~ to request abatement service online or call the District office 650-344-
8592.
Councilman Addiego requested clarification of the type of spraying done for mosquitoes.
Mr. Gay responded that the substance is non-toxic to humans and was used to control larvae
stages. Further, the spray was highly specific to mosquitoes.
Councilman Mullin questioned how the weather contributed to projections of a difficult year for
mosquito abatement.
Mr. Honan responded that rainfall was substantial earlier in the year. Accordingly, mosquitoes
in the coastal salt marsh area would. require helicopter sprayings.
Mayor Pro Tem Matsumoto questioned whether South San Francisco should be aware of any
concerns related to ticks.
Mr. Gay responded that the County surveys the tick population during the January through May
timeframe. Two (2) to four (4) thousand ticks are collected and processed for Lyme disease.
These tests have demonstrated that Orange Park does not have a tick problem. Other areas in
the County, such as Huddard Park, are more susceptible to ticks.
Mayor Gonzalez questioned whether spraying for mosquitoes could eliminate the insect.
Mr. Gay responded that spraying would not eradicate mosquitoes. Rather, it was expected to
reduce the population to a point that it would not cause annoyance and minimize its ability to
contribute to the vectoring of diseases.

MINUTES PAGE 2
Mayor Gonzalez questioned whether District representatives visited and/or provided
presentations in schools.
Mr. Gay responded that the District attends fairs in local cities, including Day in the Park, Fog
Fest and the Flower and Garden Show at the Cow Palace. Further, if requested, District
representatives visit schools to provide presentations on mosquitoes.
• Certificates of Recognition presented by Mayor Gonzalez to recipients of the 2008
Peninsula Council of Lions Club's Highest Recognition, The Area Wide Service Award,
including, Police Sergeant Jon Kallas, Firefighter Karl Sonnberger and
Paramedic/Firefighter Matt Samson.
South San Francisco Lion's Club member Rick Ochsenhirt thanked Council for recognizing the
City's 2008 Lion's Club Award Recipients. He explained that the awards acknowledge service
men and women in the County and include the categories honor, valor and service. Fire and
Police Chiefs throughout the County were requested to nominate individuals worthy of the
award. South San Francisco Police Sergeant Jon Kallas, Firefighter Karl Sonnberger and
Paramedic/Firefighter Matt Samson were among this year's recipients.
Chief of Police Raffaelli introduced award recipient, Sergeant Jon Kallas. He explained that
over the last seven (7) years Sgt. Kallas had organized food drives over the Holiday Season on
his own time. Sgt. Kallas collected toys for various age groups of children and organized
members of the Department to make the deliveries to over 400 families.
Fire Chief White introduced Paramedic/Firefighter Matt Samson and Firefighter Karl
Sonnberger. He explained that Paramedic/Firefighter Samson sought out creative ways to
purchase needed vehicles, safety equipment and supplies. He was responsible for having
drafted multiple grant applications, which he undertook on his own initiative. Due to
Paramedic/Firefighter Samson's efforts, the City's Fire Department had obtained over $500,000
in various grants and funding. Chief White then introduced Firefighter Karl Sonnberger and
noted that he received an award for his actions during the August 2007 fire storms in Southern
California. He explained that Firefighter Sonnberger had descended acliff--like area to provide
aid to a severely injured and unconscious firefighter. The rescued firefighter achieved a full
recovery after receiving surgery. Chief White opined that Firefighter Sonnberger's actions
demonstrate the Department's motto of others before self.
Councilmembers thanked the award recipients for their contributions and for the honor they
brought to the City.

Real, Chestnut Avenue and Westborough Boulevard on May 14' 2008. He advised that due to
recent State budget cuts, 1/3 of teachers may lose their jobs and class sizes maybe cut
accordingly. The purpose of the rally is to let the Governor know that cuts are hurting
education and funding needs to be restored. He invited all concerned residents to join the rally.
Councilman Mullin thanked Mr. Coddington for his presence and for drawing attention. to the
budget cuts affecting education. He further encouraged residents to participate in the rally and

ITEMS FROM COUNCIL
• Announcements.
• Committee Reports.
Councilmembers reported on attendance at community meetings and events and announced
upcoming programs, including various Rebuilding Together Activities that would take place on
Apri126, 2008 and a Blue Grass at the Library Event that would take place on May 10, 2008 at
2:00 p.m. in the Main Library. Council congratulated Equipment Mechanic Randy Speller on
receipt of the City's Employee of the Year Award and his Cascading Water Sculpture creation
that would add beauty to the Orange Park Sculpture Garden. Council further spoke regarding
public improvements and noted staffs efforts, including the Public Works Department and
Director White for placement of warning signs addressing motorists approaching the new
Centennial Way Crossing. Council further recognized employees Jim Kirkman and Holly
Fulghum -Nutters for their work on projects related to Rebuilding Together. Specific items for
further action and/or consideration were set forth as follows:
Councilman Addiego commented on the April 19, 2008 joint City Council and Planning
Commission bus tour meeting of neighborhoods in South San Francisco. He observed a
continuity of thinking amongst Councilmembers and Commissioners and reflected on collective
comments pertaining to the green strip that previously existed between the curb and sidewalk in
the Downtown area. He suggested a pilot project to resurrect patches of greenery on residential
streets heavily impacted by apartment houses. He further thanked Congresswomen Eshoo and
Speier for revisiting the issue of Sheriff's Department Officials' conduct during April of 2007.
Councilman Mullin noted that the concerns recently raised regarding legislation affecting the
Cow Palace had subsided since the legislation had been amended. He warned that the issue of
closure of the facility maybe brought up again at some point in the future and advised that the
potential impact to the City's revenue should be considered at that time.
Councilman Garbarino reported on a meeting he attended with local Life Sciences Executives.
He noted that the companies enjoy being located in South San Francisco due to a positive
relationship with the City and the energy derived from the local Life Sciences Cluster. He
further reported the executives' concerns regarding the lack of sidewalk space near the new
childcare center and traffic control issues on Forbes Boulevard.
Mayor Pro Tem Matsumoto commented on a CCAG event she attended with Councilman
Mullin and opined positive effects would flow from the Organization's emphasis on
encouraging Peninsula Cities to start "thinking as a region."

Mayor Gonzalez advised that at a meeting of the Sister Cities Committee, he learned that the
Mayor of Lucca, Italy may visit South San Francisco in September or November.
• The 2008 Light Brown Apple Moth Eradication Program- discussion with Dr. Robert
Dowell, Director of the Light Brown Apple Moth Program.
Dr. Robert Dowell, of the State Department of Food and Agriculture and Director of the Light
Brown Apple Moth Program, explained that the Light Brown Apple Moth ("LBAM") is exotic
to California and native to Australia and New Zealand. The caterpillars, or larval form of the
LBAM, are the primary source of damage and feed on a wide variety of plant life. The State is
concerned about the moth's impact due to the extensive list of potential hosts, including a wide
range of ornamental crop plants and threatened and endangered plants. The LBAM reproduces
at a rate of three (3) to five (5) generations per year and under ripe conditions, the population is
susceptible to explosion. Presently, the LBAM inhabits Coastal California subject to somewhat
limited distribution in California generally. Based on ongoing statewide surveys, scientists
know that the LBAM has been in California for more than one (1) to two (2) years but less than
seven (7) or eight (8) years. Dr. Dowell explained that if nothing is done to eradicate the
LBAM, it will continue to spread to a point where larval damage will become prevalent. Thus,
if left unchecked, economic damage from the LBAM is projected at $160-$640 million year.
Dr. Dowell then explained that planned eradication was designed to treat the entire population
until the LBAM is gone. He opined that the population was presently small enough to permit
eradication through application of available tools and necessary to prevent permanent
quarantines and increased private pesticide use. He then explained the eradication strategy as
pertinent to South San Francisco as follows:
South San Francisco falls in the heaviest infestation category. Accordingly, many moths
per square mile are located within the City and infestation is contiguous. In such areas,
the strategy calls for a multipronged approach. Pheromone-infused twist tie applications
for mating disruption would be installed. Another facet of the strategy would include
mixing the pheromone with premetherin and spraying it discreetly on utility poles and
street trees. To minimize contact with people, these applications would be made
roughly eight (8) feet above ground. Stingless parasitic wasps not specific to the LBAM
would also be released in the area. Aerial application of the pheromone would be
pursued over South San Francisco and would include going to the air every 60-90 days.
The pheromone upon which. the majority of the eradication strategy is based mimics the
insects' mating attraction scent and confuses male moths, causing mating disruption and
reducing the population accordingly.
Dr. Dowell then explained that public notice of the eradication strategy would be made to local
officials and a first class letter would be send to all residents advising of public meetings on the
subject. Another first class letter to all residents explaining the eradication program would be
sent subsequently. Regarding public health and safety concerns, Dr. Dowell explained that all
materials would be reviewed and approved for use by the United States Environmental
Protection Agency prior to implementation. He further noted that none of the agencies that had
reviewed the program projected human health problems. He commented that although there
was a tremendous amount of angst about spraying in Santa Cruz and Monterey Counties, no
link was found between the sprayings and human health complaints. He further commented
that health monitoring efforts had been expanded since implementation of the eradication
REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 23, 2008
MINUTES PAGE 5
strategy in Santa Cruz and Monterey Counties. The California Office of Environmental Health
Hazard Assessment was strengthening its public health illness complaint system related to the
LBAM eradication strategy in order to make sure the process would be administered safely.
Further, all materials used in the upcoming eradication would be disclosed to the public. He
then referred the public to www.cdfa.gov or www.aphis.usda.gov for additional information and
invited e-mail comments and/or questions to lbam~a,cdfa.ca.gov.
Councilman Mullin questioned whether the pheromone application would completely prohibit
population growth and/or whether continual spraying would be required to eradicate the moth.
He further questioned when aerial spraying over South San Francisco was expected to begin.
Dr. Dowell advised that the pheromone application strategies would shut down the hormonal
perfume trail, but would not initially eradicate the blunder effect caused by moths bumping into
each other. Accordingly, initial aerial pheromone sprayings would not completely stop LBAM
mating, but would disrupt it; and with additional sprayings the population would eventually
dwindle to nonexistence. Regarding length of treatment, Dr. Dowell advised that spraying
would likely occur for at least a year and possibly longer, but would likely not be required for a
period as long as five (5) to ten (10) years. He further advised that spraying over South San
Francisco was projected to begin in August.
Councilman Mullin questioned the type of testing done to evaluate the pheromone's impact on
humans.
William Nguy, a Public Health Medical Officer with the Office of Environmental Health
Hazard Assessment, advised that no human testing of the pheromone had been done. However,
animal studies placed it in the lowest category of chemical toxicity. A dermal study on rabbits
utilizing a highly concentrated amount of the pheromone indicated a link to digestive
complications and skin irritation. However, due to the pheromone's low toxicity and diluted
use, these side effects were not anticipated in humans.
Councilman Garbarino questioned the length of time from commencement of the strategy to
eradication of the moth. He further questioned how individuals sensitive to scents would be
affected by the eradication strategy.
Dr. Dowell advised that the LBAM's life cycle is only a week or two and that the pheromone is
only effective for about sixty (60) to ninety (90) days.
Regarding sensitive individuals, Mr. Nguy advised that scientists could not rule out the
possibility that some individuals might be affected by the pheromone.
Councilman Addiego requested clarification as to the inert material that would be combined
with the pheromone to facilitate aerial spraying. He further noted that the LBAM pattern of
infestation seemed to demonstrate highest concentrations near the cooler coastal areas of the
Bay Area Region and questioned whether this pattern would change if left untreated.
Dr. Dowell advised that the Department was focused on disclosing as much information as
possible regarding the composition of the aerial spray. Accordingly, no secret ingredients
would be included in the formulation and information pertaining to all of the components would
be available on the US Environmental Protection Agency website. He further explained that the
REGULAR CITY COUNCIL, MEETING APRIL 23, 2008
MINUTES PAGE 6
inert material might turn out to be different from that which was used to facilitate aerial
sprayings in Santa Cruz and Monterey Counties. Regarding the pattern of infestation, Dr.
Dowell explained that if left untreated, the LBAM would likely spread to the Central Valley.
Mayor Pro Tem Matsumoto advised. that she had learned from the San Mateo County Director
of Public Health that a human health risk assessment report pertaining to the pheromone would
be available in three (3) to four (4) weeks. She questioned whether Dr. Dowell had any inkling
of the reports' expected contents and/or conclusions. She further questioned whether an
Environmental Impact Report had been prepared.
Mr. Nguy explained that once the exact formulation for the aerial spray was finalized, his Office
would conduct a risk assessment and a thorough evaluation of the product. He further advised
that the risk assessment would identify the lowest level of effective pheromone concentration
presenting the least amount of risk to humans.
Dr. Dowell commented that an Environmental Impact Report would permit the state to declare
an emergency and was additional to the review by US Environmental Protection Agency and
the Department of Public Health environmental assessment process. He noted that a draft
Environmental Impact Report was expected sometime in the summer.
Mayor Pro Tem Matsumoto questioned why the LBAM, which was a leaf roller, was
concentrated in areas without much agricultural vegetation such as South San Francisco. She
further questioned whether aerial spraying would be similar to previous agricultural sprayings
that were described as not hazardous to human health, but required cars to be covered to protect
against paint corrosion.
Dr. Dowell explained that the LBAM's leaf rolling skill translated to needles and other forms of
tree-type vegetation. Accordingly, the LBAM had taken to conifers in areas such as South San
Francisco. He further commented that the aerial spray's impact on cars would be tested.
Mayor Gonzalez hypothetically questioned the effect of Council's passage of a resolution
against aerial treatment of the LBAM infestation. He further questioned whether: 1)
quarantines were already in place; 2) human testing would be performed; and 3) additional
public meetings with Dr. Dowell could be held in South San Francisco.
Dr. Dowell advised that the California Department of Food and Agriculture had the authority to
conduct aerial sprayings irrespective of local action opposing it. Accordingly, Council's
passage of a resolution against aerial spraying over South San Francisco could not block it. He
further confirmed that quarantines were already in place particularly with respect to nurseries.
He stated that he would work with Council to set up at least one additional public meeting on
the topic.
Mr. Nguy responded that human testing is not generally conducted with respect to pesticides.
Councilman Addiego questioned the height at which the airplanes used to conduct the aerial
spraying would fly. He further questioned whether residents would be advised to stay indoors
and close their windows during aerial spraying.
REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 23, 2008
MINUTES PAGE 7
Dr. Dowell advised that the airplanes used to conduct the aerial spraying would fly at an altitude
of roughly 500-800 feet above ground. He further stated that since the product would be safe,
residents would likely not be advised to stay indoors during the spraying.
Councilman Garbarino questioned how wind would affect aerial spraying plans.
Dr. Dowell advised that wind and the probability of rain affect the timing of aerial sprays.
Spraying would not be conducted on the day of or the first day after rain. Furthermore,
spraying would not be conducted at winds above ten (10) mph.
Mayor Gonzalez questioned whether it was possible that aerial spraying would not be necessary
in South San Francisco.
Dr. Dowell advised that the need for spraying would be re-evaluated after another moth catch
analysis.
Upon Mayor Gonzalez's question pertaining to Council's options with. respect to the subject of
the LBAM, City Manager Nagel advised that on a future agenda, Council could consider
placing an item pertaining to formal action for or against the spraying. He noted that while such
action might not have any effect, it could be pursued if Council wished to make a political
statement.

ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS
7. Resolution No. 46-2008 appropriating $4,000 to the City Treasurer's budget to fund a
one-time investment review and report.
Director of Finance Steele explained that nearly a year ago he, City Manager Nagel and City
Treasurer Battaglia met with a Council subcommittee and agreed to return in a year with a
budget amendment to fund investment review oversight services. He explained that the
proposed resolution would authorize cone-time augmentation to fund an outside investment
advisor's review of the City's holdings and portfolio and an opinion as to the portfolio's safety.
Councilman Garbarino questioned the frequency with which such a review should be
performed.
Director of Finance Steele responded that the frequency of review was a judgment call. He
opined that the City maintains a fairly safe portfolio. Accordingly the frequency issue rested on
Council's comfort-level.
Councilman Addiego questioned whether the higher proposed cost submitted by one of the
firm's interested in the project suggested greater depth of review was necessary.
Director of Finance Steele opined that greater depth of review was unnecessary, given the
portfolio's conservative nature.
Mayor Pro Tem Matsumoto opined that prior to Mr. Battaglia's installation as City Treasurer
the City's investments were not optimized. Accordingly, she and former Councilmember
Fernekes sought a system of checks and balances to insure investments were managed in a safe
manner. She further suggested that the County Pool should be considered in the review and
questioned whether the review would be duplicative of work done on the annual audit.
REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 23, 2008
MINUTES PAGE 9
Director of Finance Steele responded that the annual audit does not include this type of review
in that it specifically looks at limiting liability. Accordingly, the auditors simply verify that the
investment mix is inline with the City's stated policies. He further clarified that increasing the
scope of work to include the County pool would likely require additional funding. But he
assured Council that the safety of the program versus other options would be considered as part
of the proposed scope of work encompassed by the Resolution.
Motion- Councilman Addiego/Second- Councilman Mullin: to approve Resolution No. 46-
2008. Unanimously approved by voice vote.
LEGISLATIVE BUSINESS
8. Waive reading and introduce an Ordinance amending Title 2 of the South San Francisco
Municipal Code regarding terms and term limits for members of the City's Boards and
Commissions.
City Attorney Mattas recounted that at its last regular meeting, the City Council directed staff to
revise the proposed Board and Commission term and term limit ordinance to accomplish the
following:
1) term limits to include a maximum of four (4) three (3) year terms or three (3) four (4)
year terms to yield a maximum total of twelve (12) consecutive years of service on any
of the City's Boards or Commissions;
2) addition of compensation for the Cultural Arts Commission;
3) establishment of a prospective term and term limit for members of the Cultural Arts
Commission;
4) definition of a term to include half of a full term plus one (1) day; and
5) establishment of a two (2) year sitting out period.
City Attorney Mattas opined that the above summary captured everything Council had directed.
Accordingly, he recommended waiver of reading and introduction of the Ordinance.
Councilman Garbarino questioned whether term limits for Council would have to be proposed
by the voters.
City Attorney Mattas confirmed that voters and the state elections law division could impose
term limits on Council.
Mayor Gonzalez questioned how the Ordinance would affect Councilmember appointees to the
Conference Center Authority.
City Attorney Mattas advised that the Councilmember representatives on the Conference Center
Authority would be unaffected by the Ordinance. He noted that in a General Law City with a
rotating mayor, the mayor has slightly less power than a directly elected mayor. Accordingly,
in South San Francisco the Mayor's appointments to the Conference Center Authority were
subject to confirmation by Council and would serve for a two (2) year period. He further
explained that issues such as service as chair on the Conference Center Authority were
unaffected by the Ordinance.
