City Attorney O'Toole stated that was correct, the impartial analysis was not an argument in any way. Carried by unanimous voice vote. Mayor Penna stated that with the con- currence of Council, he wanted to appoint Councilmembers Drago and Fernekes because they had been involved in this issue. Vice Mayor Teglia stated that she did not have a problem with a committee being formed, but wanted to make sure that her endorsement of the committee doing that in no way indicates that she is in favor of the argument they are preparing. City Attorney O'Toole stated that if that was the case he would recommend that any valid argument in favor - that you delete the Vice Mayor's name. He stated that when the argument came back from the com- mittee the Councilmembers in favor would sign their names for the pamphlet, and any members dissenting would not have their names attached to the argument. Vice Mayor Teglia stated that in voting for the committee to be formed was in no way an endorsement of what they were doing, and questioned how she should vote. Mayor Penna stated that it was not a vote, but an appointment with concurrence of the Council. City Attorney O'Toole stated that direc- tion had been given by the Mayor to form the committee, and the argument would come back to the Council for approval. Mayor Penna stated that the appointment 3/11/92 Page 2 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN 353 '--~_.

Penna Council: Jack Drago Joseph A. Fernekes Gus Nicolopulos '---~oberta Cerri Teglia AGENDA CALL TO ORDER: (Cassette No. 1) ROLL CALL: PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE INVOCATION: PRESENTATIONS Proclamation - Mediation Week February 22-28, 1992 ~0~7 Proclamation - Girl Scout Week March 8-14, 1992 ~-0 97 AGENDA REVIEW ORAL COMMUNICATIONS MINUTES City Council Municipal Services Building Community Room March 11, 1992 ACTION TAKEN 7:46 p.m. Mayor Penna presiding. Council present: Council absent: Drago, Fernekes, Nicolopulos, Teglia, and Penna. None. The colors were presented by Girl Scouts, and the Pledge was recited. Rev. Gene Lindeman, Kaiser Hospital, gave the invocation. PRESENTATIONS Councilman Nicolopulos read the Proclamation and presented it to Mr. Bill Connealy. Vice Mayor Teglia read the Proclamation aloud and presented it to Ms. Millie Bessire and the Girl Scouts. AGENDA REVIEW City Manager Armas stated that there were no changes to the agenda. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS Mr. Lou Dell'Angela, 460 Gardenside Ave., offered the following suggestions for Council consideration: to supplement the stop sign warning on the pedestrian over- pass which was high enough to see and would minimize accidents at Lincoln and Hillside; that Council reemphasize their stand on a Hickey Bart station rather than the vacillating position reported in the newspapers attributed to Ms. Costello; that the first priority was what is the best location for the station and the environmental impacts; priority two would be to look at economic benefits in the area by creating high density on 3/11/92 Page i A G E N DA AC T I O N T AK E N ' 355 )RAL COMMUNICATIONS ORAL COMMUNICATIONS E1Camino on 60 acres; this Council like Colma and San Bruno should make a firm stand and insist on a subway or a below grade route for Bart through the City and a surface route should be unequivocally opposed even if it means litigation; that if a station was to be built in the Mission Rd. area it should be up by the Hickey Extension or should not be built at all, and the Council should not be backed into a Chestnut situation; to work with the neighboring cities and see if there was a common ground. Mayor Penna stated that the Bart issue would be discussed at the adjourned meeting next Wednesday. Mr. Bob Stevens, 2435 Tipperary Ave., stated that a consultant spoke at a prior meeting about stop signs on HillSide and had related that the Council had two choices - you can either get rear-ended or broadsided. He stated that he noticed that there were no comments from Police Chief Datzman and his Traffic Officer who were at the meeting, nor opinions soli- cited. He questioned why they had deferred to the consultant -- if the people on Hillside waAted a stop sign - give them a stop sign. He stated that the residents in Westborough had a similar problem, but on a greater scale, which had gone into abeyance and got put aside because of the construction on Sharp Park Rd., and would probably take 3-6 months to get the traffic settled in. He stated that he hoped they would not get the same consultant to tell us we have two choices - get broadsided or rear-ended. Mr. Paul Saroff, 762 Parkway, commended the Council for allowing everyone to speak at the last meeting, but he felt that if a petition was being circulated and someone on the Board had something to do with it they should have the persons wear name tags so if you have a bad experience one can come back to the Board 3/11/92 Page 2 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN ~'--)RAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMUNITY FORUM CONSENT CALENDAR 1.

ITEMS FROM COUNCIL None were given. Mayor Penna stated that there had been several applications received for the position of Parking Place Commissioner. He stated that the Parking District covered the area of Baden/Miller/Spruce to Airport Blvd., and it was not only tradi- tional but advisory that we attempt to appoint people that either reside in or own property in that area because deci- sions made affect people specifically in that area. He stated that within the three or four applications received only one specifically has a business in that area. Vice Mayor Teglia stated that the ad placed in the newspapers had nothing in the requirements that one had to own pro- perty or live in the District. She stated that there were at least five people that applied, and as of tonight at least three of those people had not been contacted to tell them their application had been received nor had they been interviewed. She felt that these people should be interviewed, and from there she did not have a problem with an appointment. Mayor Penna stated that it had been a policy with this Commission, back to 1960, to appoint people who own proper- ties or businesses in that District 3/11/92 Page 4 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN ITEMS FROM COUNCIL 7. Appointment - Continued. 358 ITEMS FROM COUNCIL except for an appointment made last year because no one in the area applied for the position. He felt that the problems in the area were specific to that area, and even though this Commission was put together to retire bonds it was now an advisory role to the Planning Commission. He felt that appointing people who were not familiar with the issues occurring in that area would not really be doing justice to the people who are going to be affected. He stated that even though other applications had been received, and those applications should be kept on record for other boards, that we go with the individual that has a business and is a resident and is in that specific location. Vice Mayor Teglia stated that the people who own property on Grand Ave. do have concerns but there are a lot of people who shop there who do not have a business or own property. She stated that the City's requirements do not require that, and three of the people have not even been considered, and that seemed eminently unfair to her. Mayor Penna stated that he was willing to put off the appointment for a month and interview the other applicants, because he realized they too had something to offer. Vice Mayor Teglia felt that Council should decide if they were going to place added restrictions for this Commission other than being a registered voter. Councilman Nicolopulos stated that the Council should determine their priorities and adhere to them as policies. Councilman Fernekes felt that anyone who applies for a Board should be interviewed. Councilman Drago stated that the rules only required a person to be a registered 3/11/92 Page 5 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN 359 £TEMS FROM COUNCIL 7. Appointment - Continued.
