ORAL COMMUNICATIONS Mayor Penna stated that he was changing the practice of how an individual iden- tified himself before speaking at the podium on any issue. He stated that there was an incident at the last Council meeting where an individual who spoke in favor of Measure D was called and told that a member of their family was being held at gun point and demanded money. He stated that in checking this out by the police it turned out to be a hoax, however, no one should have to suffer that type of mental anguish because they get 4/8/92 Page I - 0O4 ACTION TAKEN AGENDA ~RAL COMMUNICATIONS ORAL COMMUNICATIONS up and speak at the podium on any issue they are particularly concerned about. He stated that from now on, for pre- cautionary measures, an individual would fill out a speaker card for the Clerk's minutes, hand it to the Clerk, and he would call that person up by first name only. City Manager Armas chose to correct the impression left by the Mayor: he had learned of this situation Monday; had talked to the police; the incident described apparently happened in 4 or 5 cities on the Peninsula; there have been some incidents of random selections of individuals names and telephone numbers calling and offering similar threats, such that one of the police agencies in the lower part of the County was able to identify a potential suspect and was doing something about it; so while he understood the fear and apprehension described, it appeared to have been a pat- tern that was occurring in a number of San Mateo County jurisdictions. Mayor Penna'stated that because of this a number of cities were taking pre- cautionary procedures in identifying speakers. Mr. Lou Dell'Angela spoke of the impor- tance of Council receiving all infor- mation from staff and the public without an individual being afraid of reprisals by stating their opinions, and par- ticularly so in reference to Measure D. He read a letter into the record from the Planning Commission dated 1/1/92 (the letter is attached and a permanent part of the record of this meeting). He questioned: why the Manager felt so strongly about issuing this directive; why this communication from the Planning Commission had been watered down; and what the Council had done to reverse this policy. He stated that the Planning 4/8/92 Page 2 January 1, 1992 0O5 Honorable Mayor Penna and Council Members: At the October 3, Planning Commission study session a recent policy directive by the City Manager was reviewed. It requires the Planning Director to take the following actions; "when Staff strongly disagrees with the Commission's position, Staff shall reserve the right to make its own recommendation to the Council rather than supporting that of the Planning Commission" (refer to item #IV of the planning report, dated October 3. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS TO COU~,1CIL.- A RELATED TOPIC). After considerable discussion, the Planning Commission concluded unanimously that this change in policy damages the integrity of the Commission and undermines it's role as the citizen advisory body to the Council on land use/policy issues. The consensus of the commission is that recommendations made to Council oa land use/policy decisions should be by the appointed citizens of our community. 'We strongly urge the Council to support the Planning Commission on this matter and deny this recent policy position. Sincerely, , / ,- / /, ' ~ e:z ,:/'{:.~ _. ~ - ,/ kX~'-- cc lesus Armas ~ ~ 4/8/92 Pa~e 2a AGENDA ACTION TAKEN 006 '-'3RAL COMMUNICATIONS ORAL COMMUNICATIONS Commission dealt with very important issues and was non-political which was a separation that should be protected, and this policy could be tampering with the impartiality that exists between staff and the Planning Commission. He expressed concern over staff recommen- dations that did not agree with the Manager's not being used in the staff reports. He stated that the atmosphere should be open in City Hall - where department heads were not stifled or penalized, and the Council should look at the practices of disseminating infor- mation from the Manager's Office. He stated that while he was Planning Director a staff report showed both the Planning Commission and the department head recommendation, so that Council knew staff's position. He stated that this policy indicated an additional control by the Manager and told staff not to be aggressive if they disagree. He stated that the Planning Commission dealt with important issues like the con- ference center, and some people wanted it to move swiftly, and he credited the Commission with standing up and asking questions. He reiterated his questions and asked that they be answered, and felt that department heads should be able to speak their minds to the Council without being penalized or fired. He stated that the changes recommended in Measure D were going to help, but it is not going to solve the entire problem. He stated that at present City Hall favors the big guy, the special interest, and that hurts the little guy because the practices should be fair. Mayor Penna stated that oral com- munications was a time for the public to 4/8/92 Page 3 AGENDA --RAL COMMUNICATIONS ACTION TAKEN' O07 ORAL COMMUNICATIONS speak to the Council, it is not a time to debate staff members. He stated that Mr. Dell'Angela's comments had been noted, and staff will respond to those questions to Council. Councilman Drago stated that he had not seen the directive from the City Manager on the policy change, nor had he seen the directive after receiving the letter from the Planning Commission. Vice Mayor Teglia remembered discussions the Council had with the Manager and thought the directive was born out of those discussions. Councilman Drago stated that he remem- bered that after receiving the letter he had brought it up in closed session with concern about the way it was worded in that the Planning Commission was not being given their due. He stated that what had happened since then, the City Manager was to meet with the Planning Commission to explain that perhaps it was worded more strongly than it should have been or it was their interpretation; and he had not given the Planning Commission letter to anyone if that was what was being alluded to. Vice Mayor Teglia stated that she remem- bered that Councilman Drago felt strongly that when staff presented recommendations to the Commission and the Commission chose to take action in opposition to the staff recommendation, and would overrule the staff and take a different position that Councilman Drago felt it was impor- tant for the Council to know that. She continued, staff should not be in the position of strictly dropping their recommendations and taking on a new role as advocates for the Commission, rather to present independent opinions to Council, as well as what had been pre- sented to the Commission. 4/8/92 Page 4 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN 008 '--~AL COMMUNICATIONS ORAL COMMUNICATIONS Councilman Drago stated that he felt that information should come forward to Council on both the staff and Commission recommendations, as well as what had been presented to the Commission. He stated that he had also requested that minutes of the meeting be included in the Council packet for review so he could review the majority and minority side arguments, and split votes, but did not see what that had to do with this. City Manager Armas stated that the word directive was gaining greater signifi- cance than anyone intended that word to have. He stated that a couple of years ago there were discussion at the staff level and this had been subsequently passed on to the Commission. He stated that he expected any advisory body to be in sink and in tune with everybody because on occasions there will be strong differences of opinion, and there should be an opportunity for the staff to not simply echo that to the Council, but pre- sent staff's perspective along with the Commission's. He stated that since then there had been some changes in the Planning Div., and it came to his atten- tion that this kind of opportunity was not known to the staff and staff made a point of conveying that to the Commission. He stated that he did not issue a directive, just an expression of allowing the staff to present that information, and should that arise the Council would have the benefit of the Commission's views and the basis of its determination, and the benefit of staff's perspective for Council to make decisions. He stated that that was the intent, but felt it was misinterpreted. He stated that just last week he had attended a Planning Commission meeting and it was interesting to hear many of the Commissioners apologize for this letter, 4/8/92 Page 5 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN 009 ~")RAL COMMUNICATIONS ORAL COMMUNICATIONS and they had a healthy dialogue to handle this like presenting alternatives to coming back to the Commission when there ix strong disagreement. He stated that staff would look at those because they are valid suggestions, and there was no effort to railroad a point of view or silence people the Council had appointed to Commissions that were very capable people. He refutted the suggestion of clamps on the information going to Council. He stated that there were times that a department head will recommend something he would not recommend to the Council - he felt that was expected in a city manager form of government, because he was held accountable and if information was withheld his evaluation would reflect that in what was presented to Council. Vice Mayor Teglia refutted the charge that City Hall was for the big guy, and felt it one looked at tonight's agenda and the agreement for soundproofing homes, they would see it was for the little guy and the big guy was not happy. She stated that the letter did not come to the Council with the regular Friday packet, but came through the mail to our homes and it was not when it was signed, but was sent later for political pur- poses. She stated that assumptions could be made and said to be true, and if someone could convince the public, it benefits their position at the moment. She stated that she did not believe that the voters were stupid or children, and had the ability to sift information and make judgments. Discussion followed: it was believed that the Chairman of the Commission had sent the letter; the letter said the Commission acted on this in October, but the letter was dated in January; that the full Commission signed the letter; that a 4/8/92 Page 6 A 6 E N D A A C T '1' 0 N TA K E N 010 )RAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMUNITY FORUM ORAL COMMUNICATIONS month ago the Council had asked for a joint session with the Planning Commission, and a letter had been received saying the Commission did not want to meet with the Council and the reason was very vague, etc. Mrs. Diane Smith read her communication in reference to Vice Mayor Teglia's vic- tory party into the record and asked that it be incorporated into the minutes (a copy is attached and a permanent part of the record of this meeting). She stated that she understood that for a period of time the Radisson Inn used the Conference Center property which is leased by the City for storage of some surplus hotel furnishings. She posed the following questions for a response at the next Council meeting: how long was space occupied by the Radisson Inn; by whose permission; for how much of that time did S.S.F. charge rent; how much rent was charged; when did the City receive these revenues; the Radisson Inn for a time utilized the parking area of the Conference Center property and had the same questions; was the same oppor- tunity for storage made available to other hotels participating in the Center venture; was S.S.F. paid for the use of the building for a public sale and auc- tion. Mayor Penna directed the Manager to respond to the questions through a report to Council. Vice Mayor Teglia announced that the outstanding bill to the Radisson, which had been discussed innumerable times - had been paid, for the benefit of those people who kept track of those kinds of dealings. COMMUNITY FORUM No one chose to speak. 4/8/92 Page 7 City Council Meeting - April 8, ].992 - 0ral Communications I would like to bring to the attention of Council and citizens of South San Francisco, some added information on the subject of Councilwoman Teglia's Election Victory Party at the Radisson Hotel in November 1991. I am not asking Councilwoman Teglia to comment, as she has already stated to Mayor Penna that she has said all she intends to say when she stated she had a party, it cost $250 and she owes the Radisson $250, or did as late as February 26, 1992. She further advised us that the FPPC does not say she has to pay a bill, they only say she has to report she owes one! 011 I have here a Catering Brochure from the Radisson and have costed out a gathering similar to what has been described to me. For the sake of argument, I will start with !00 people from Ms. Teglia's gathering and can revise downward if necessary, but I would hope that she had that many well-wishers she wished to thank for supporting her. "Well" drinks are $3.00 each, so if each person had 2 drinks, that comes to $600.00, for starters. Then there is: $!80.09 for four small fruit trays @ $45.00 each. (As this took place in two of their three Peninsula Rooms, I will assume there was a good size crowd. I am relying on the recollections of some who were present. Although Radisson's published ordering formula stipulates that you must order a minimum of 5 dozen of any plate of l dozen hors d'oeuvres, I will assume that Ms. Teglia's friends at Radisson waived this requirement. I will estimate that she had only 2 trays of l dozen each: *$2].00 Zucchini @ $10.50 ea. *$21.00 Mushrooms @ $10.50 ea. *$21.00 Meatballs @ $10.50 ea. *$23.90 Buffalo chicken wings @ $11.95 ea. *$23.90 Teriyaki chicken wings @ $].1.95 ea. *$43.00 Crab stuffed mushroom caps @ $21.50 ea. *$34.50 Chicken fingers @ $$17.25 ea. $130.00 raw vegetable dip $260.00 4 trays Guacamole & chips *$30.00 Cold canapes @ $15.00 ea. 23~e total for the aforementioned is $1388.30. Gratuity @ 15% (which Radisson says is mandatory on catering) is $208.24. State Tax @ 8.25% is $114.51 for a GRAND TOTAL of $1711.05. * starred items equal 19Z hors d'oeuvres-not quite ~0 per person!!! If you feel that 100 is a high figure for attendance, it would be: $1530.00 for 90 people $1360.00 for 80 $1275.00 for 75 $1190.46 for 70 people. In fact, the only way you can come away from the Radisson for $250.00 is to take 67 people and yourself, have one "well" drink (no "call" brands!). 68 X $3.00 = $204.00 +$30.60 (15% gratuity) + $16.83 state tax which totals $251.43. One drink and "TBE PARTY'S OVER"! Incidentally, Radisson's terms, stated in their brochure, for a catered party are 50Z PAID AT THE TIME OF RESERVATION and the other 50Z TO BE PAID 48 BOURS IN ADVANCE OF TBE AC2N3AL PARTY. As of February 26, 1992 Ms. Teglia had not been asked to pay her bill from November 1991. 4/8/92 Page 7a Page two - 0ral Communications April 8, 1992 I did not allow for charge for the rooms occupied by the event as no prices are listed. I bring this to your attention tonight to contrast the Radisson's published prices for catering with Councilwoman Teglia's $250 Victory Party at that hotel. I believe it challenges the credibility of that reported cost. I ask that the City Clerk incorporate the foregoing in the Minutes of the Meeting. Thank you.

She stated that there had been delays while the owners of the building completed the necessary seismic safety studies that were now completed, and described the funding in detail. M/S Fernekes/Drago - To adopt the Resolution. RESOLUTION NO. 30-92 Carried by majority voice vote, Mayor Penna abstained by virtue of leaving the podium during the discussion and vote. Mayor Penna returned to the podium. Director of Economic & Community Development Costello stated that the scope of work being recommended had a cost of $27,500 to check the numbers dev- eloped on the BART Extension, and the cost of other alternatives for the City to discuss with representatives of MTC and Samtrans to address the costs and alternatives; revenue generating ideas, etc. Mr. Lou Dell'Angela expressed concern over the City spending $50,000 for this and the next item on the cost elements for the alignment when the City was facing a budget deficit. He stated that there were a lot of people in City Hall who could look at the EIR and do a lot of this work. He felt that S.S.F. hires more consultants than other cities per capita, and he questioned why this was true. He stated that for $28,000 the consultant is going to price out the subway system and find out if its going to cost $29 or $49 million. He stated that in the City of Colma there is a report that says there is 1.+ miles of route alignment that goes to the cemetery, and according to the report the subway through Colma is 4/8/92 Page 9 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN 015 .... iDMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS ~6. Resolution - Continued. ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS going to cost $3,000,000 over and above what a cut slope would provide. He continued, when we come to S.S.F. between Chestnut and Mission Road we have 1.25 miles of roadway, and if it costs three million to subway one mile in Colma why does it cost $39 million to subway 1.25 miles in S.S.F. He felt the City should go to Colma and find out the cost per mile that the consultant has already pro- jected, and translate it back into S.S.F.'s land because the subway costs are comparable. He stated that the proposal was to build BART to the Airport from Colma, there was going to be enough money, and was an economically sound project. He con- tinued, now we are being beat back and forth on the numbers game when the basic considerations on what alignment was selected were cost, environmental effects, and community issues. He stated that he felt the money was better spent on the EIR, and consideration of impor- tant noise vibrations and sound through an environmental response document that addresses all issues. He stated that if the Council did not have the staff on hand to do a decent job they should get a traffic consultant to see if the traffic conclusions are correct, as well as a noise engineer to see the impacts on E1 Camino and Mission Road. He felt that if anyone should pay for these two con- sultants it should be the property owners. He stated that on the land use revenue, projects could not be developed because the City did not know what the environ- mental uses were going to be, and they could not be prejudged to be compatible with the neighborhood. He stated that he did not feel that the City should put out any money that the adjoining cities of San Bruno and Colma were not prepared to do, and should not supplement money that was supposed to be allocated from Measure K that was approved in 1987. 4/8/92 Page 10 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN. 016 -'~DMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS .6. Resolution - Continued. ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS He stated that it was important for the City to get moving on a response to the EIR documents so they are ready by May. He noted that it included a cut slope, and if that did not compromise the City it should be looked at so we don't end up with a station at Chestnut that is a nightmare. He stated that even though he had seen a copy of the report those individuals affected by the BART route had not, and felt they should be provided a summary document and notice of meetings. He stated that the money for these two consultants could be spent in better ways. Director of Economic & Community Develop- ment Costello agreed that the EIR was the key focus at staff level and they were looking at that, and preparing a response for the next meeting, and having it fina- lized by May. She stated that the reason staff brought this choice to Council for A. J. Moore was that when the Colma cemeteries were looking at $14-17 million to go through the cemeteries, and it was through the work of these consultants that the cost was reduced to $3,000,000. She stated that staff had the report from Colma and it was site specific; and knew that Colma's cost would be lesser that S.S.F., and realized the tight time frame. City Manager Armas related: that it was a three thronged approach - the EIR and staff comments; ability to influence the costs offered and revenue could be introduced; dealing with the revenue so S.S.F.'s preferred alternative was the one that the Policy Committee can endorse; two scenarios were being eva- luated in the EIR - a trench through the length of the City, including a subway in the EIR; the new alternative to make at 4/8/92 Page 11 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN DMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS 6. Resolution - Continued. ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS grade the roadway between the City bor- derline of Colma all the way to Chestnut that had devastating effects; and how to deal with those three areas. Councilman Drago stated that this was the last level the City could fight, and this had come up because Colma had hired these consultants and their cost estimates were 1/5 of BART's - which could be true for us. He stated that San Bruno was barraging Congressman Lantos to stop the funding for BART, and we are meeting with Congressman Lantos to increase the fun- ding. He stated that the Subcommittee would be meeting with individual Policy Boardmembers on the revenue proposal, and would meet with Senator Kopp, Assemblywoman Speier, Congressman Lantos, San Bruno, and Colma to try to get up federal funding from the 75% to 80%. He stated that he did not believe you could stop BART, and he did not believe he would like to stop BART, but by the time we see it this County's traffic problems would be a nightmare. He stated that they were working to develop some realistic numbers and would not be using BART's numbers, and would be going in with A. J. Moore's numbers which would be better received than our staff's numbers. He stated that this was very important because once it went past the Policy Board and on to MTC and the other agen- cies there was no longer a one on one basis to show them this could work, and he was in support of this expenditures but not necessarily on the next one. He stated that a call had been received from Treasurer Island Trailer Court about their concern over displacement of 30-50 mobile homes, and they had a problem with whether it was going to be the old Market site or the SP site. He felt that this concern should be brought into the report as another part of the arsenal of impacts to this City. 4/8/92 Page 12 AGENDA ..... ~DMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS 6. Resolution - Continued. ACTION TAKEN 018 ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS Mayor Penna stated that part of the trailer court is on the 40 route and the City needed to know that even if they only use the SP property, whether they will use the 40 route for storage, egress, ingress or whatever. Director of Economic & Community Develop- ment Costello related correct future BART meeting dates: Tues. 4/28/92 3:00 p.m. was an agency hearing for agencies; Wed. 4/29/92 7:00 p.m. at Taylor School in Millbrae; Thurs. 4/30/92 7:00 S.S.F. Municipal Services Building. Councilman Fernekes questioned if there would be notification of the meetings to the public. Director of Economic & Community Develop- ment Costello stated that she thought that was a good idea, and had asked BART staff to notify the San Mateo Times of the correct meeting dates since there had been contrary dates in the various docu- ments. Vice Mayor Teglia stated that she heart- ily endorsed Councilman Drago's com- ments, but felt it was not in the Council's hands to make this decision; and we have to use whatever we have got to influence those decisions made not by this City. She felt that to not spend this money would be penny wise and dollar foolish for a very long time for this community. She stated that she supported Item #7 also because the fact was that this City had told BART that they were willing to talk to them about sharing some of the revenue in potential economic development that will take place, and this had perked their interest. M/S Fernekes/Drago - To adopt the Resolution. RESOLUTION NO. 31-92 Carried by unanimous voice vote. 4/8/92 Page 13 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN ...... DMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS e Resolution authorizing an agreement with KRM Inc. for economic analysis of the proposed BART-SFO Extension in S.S.F., and to appropriate $22,000 for this purpose. 50~ A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF AGREEMENT FOR ECONOMIC CONSUL- TANT SERVICES FOR THE PROPOSED BART-SFO EXTENSION ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS Director of Economic & Community Develop- ment Costello stated that this subject was raised at a study session, and this was being brought back as a possible proposal. She stated that the City had agreed at a policy meeting to work with the Subcommittee and our Transportation Subcommittee to look at some ways of generating revenue to offset some of the costs, and this contract was to give us some information so if there were agreements, we would understand what the cost implications were going to be. She proceeded to describe the work to be done for information to generate revenue and cost implications. Mr. Dell'Angela reiterated his earlier remarks on their being a better use for this money, and suggested creating a technical advisory pool where the staff and City Manager can draw on that pool to get advice on traffic and noise for specific situations without a full blown economic study. Vice Mayor Teglia stated that she didn't have a problem with getting the infor- mation Mr. Dell'Angela sought from a pool, however, she understood that this was to show the BART Policy Board that there was a tremendous potential in that corridor. She stated that with that, if we can get BART to put it underground in that area, it would continue their interest in sharing revenue. Mr. Dell'Angela pointed out that the City did not have expertise to deal with cer- tain aspects of the environmental report in reference to noise vibration and traf- fic. He stated that the report said the traffic was going to be manageable, which he did not believe was true, etc. Vice Mayor Teglia stated that BART was discounting the environmental effects as much as it could legally, and were fran- tic about the costs and whether there was 4/8/92 Page 14 A G E N DA A CT I O N TAK E N 0~0 DMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS 7.

She continued, which they did not think they had, and were pairing back in every imaginable way they could. She stated that the City was trying to tell them we want to work with them and show them a way where if they don't impact S.S.F. so severely we can generate some revenue that could have some long term potential, etc. Discussion followed: that procedural rights would continue to be preserved; that time was of the essence; proposed meeting schedule; that the Policy Committee is going to decide its pre- ferred alternative on May 11th, and comments were due May 4th; how the con- sultants were going to come up with all the information needed for the City to base its argument on the preferred alignment in six days; how the $22,000 consultant fee was divided up; staff's involvement in developing information; whether we can get Supervisor Nolan's attention, etc. M/S Teglia/Fernekes - To adopt the Resolution.

ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS City Attorney O'Toole stated that this was an amendment to the agreement origi- nally signed in August 1991, and was a product of the meeting between the Airport and City staff and Subcommittee Members Penna and Teglia. He stated that the amendment allows an additional 15 months to accomplish all of the planning and environmental work required 4/8/92 Page 15 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN 021 )MINISTRATIVE BUSINESS Resolution - Continued. ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS in the underlying document, and also pro- vides a $500,000.00 reimbursement for the work. He stated that there were three prerequisites for the recovery of funds: 1) to apply for federal grants to recoup the costs; 2) City submit appropriate requests to the Airport for reimbur- sement; 3) and no noise sensitive land uses be permitted during the review and study period. Mr. Doug Thomas stated that he was from the Kohl Company which was one of the properties that would be adversely affected by this. He stated that he was opposed to the agreement last summer, was opposed to this amendment, and did not believe that this amendment is good for the future of the City. He stated that, as an example, his property was in the Downtown Redevelopment District and tonight there had been talk of approving tax increment funds for a downtown hotel and his firm contributed to such funds. He stated that his firm pays $140,000 per year in property taxes that goes into the program to remodel that hotel and other improvements in the downtown. He stated that if the agreement goes into effect it will take away all the economic use of his property, and hamper the City's ability for additional tax incre- ments to make other improvements through- out the town that benefit the entire community. He felt that the Council should consider all impacts before adopting the agreement. John Briscoe, Esq. stated that he repre- sented the Kohl Company and spoke of the opportunities perceived through their development that the agreement with the Airport and tonight's amendment and urgency ordinance would make increasingly difficult to do. He stated that he believed there were legal problems with the agreement which he had enumerated in a letter to Council today. He stated that one of those was that there was a 4/8/92 Page 16 AGENDA ~ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS ACTION TAKEN 022 ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS serious consideration on whether the City had to comply with the Calif. Environmental Quality Act before going into such actions with S.F. International Airport, and whether the City was contracting away its police power descre- tion. He stated that they had received a copy of the amendment on Friday afternoon, and pointed out to the City Manager that there was one other change in the effec- tive date, wherein it was only in effect when and if you adopt the urgency ordi- nance. He stated that the S.F. version appears to take effect immediately, and raises the question of whether the agreement takes effect tonight upon adop- tion of the urgency ordinance or makes it fully effective after the 24 months which is staff's recommendation. He urged the Council not to enter into the agreement and they would work with the City cooperatively, and he hoped that the property owner did not find himself without a recourse but to go to court. He stated that the agreement contemplates 15 years of no residential development east of the freeway, and again urged the Council not to adopt the amendment. Vice Mayor Teglia stated that this was not a request from the Airport but the City, because the Council is aware that a number of citizens are interested in this going forward and there are a number of entities in the area east of the freeway that do not want this to go forward. She continued, so the City was taking suffi- cient time to do the work before a confron- tation took place. She stated that the City was not adopting a 15 year mora- torium, and there was an opportunity for property owners to come forward and lay out their best cases without this getting in the way because we would then have the answers. She stated that the $500,000 4/8/92 Page 17 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN 023 ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS 8. Resolution - Continued. ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS was a cap for the purpose of this agreement, and the City not having to pay for the work. She stated that there was a suggestion to contact the FAA because there was money available from time to time to do this, but at this time she did not know. She stated that Mr. Turpin asked her to contact the FAA, and the result was that the FAA was researching the matter to see if the work was justified. Councilman Drago stated that he had tried to get the minutes of the Airport meeting and realized it had been done in execu- tive session, and was bothered that it was eight months since the agreement had been signed when he thought we would be off and running with the money; and now the Airport was off the hook for over two years. City Attorney O'Toole stated that what was being said was that after we did the original study which staff had antici- pated was a negative declaration and was sure that whatever we did stood up in Court and was beneficial to the City, and that was why the additional time. Discussion followed: that 3 alternatives were presented to Council; what the 12-18 months preparation entailed, and allows the work to be performed for $500,000 with reimbursement, and does not lock the City in to any course of action; what had been done for the last seven months on the work; staff had approached the problem in two parts - the impacts to the housing element, and retained a housing consultant to look at the land use components on the east side, and made a determination to present the alter- natives to the Council; an analysis had been done and determined it was not sufficient, and another step should be taken in land use analysis before going ahead; that the Kohl Company could take an adversarial position; the Airport 4/8/92 Page 18 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN 024 ~DMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS 8. Resolution - Continued. ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS would still be on the hook for the matching 20% of FAA funds; what triggers the amendment to release the flow of money is that point where the Council adopts the General Plan, which will satisfy one of the prerequisits to release the $500,000; conditions in the amendment; the agreement provides addi- tional funds if the City receives grant money above the allotted funds and the Director of the Airport has that discre- tion to go above the $1,000,000; that this had nothing to do with the current insulation program, etc. Mayor Penna stated that every member of Council has been sensitive to the plight of people east and some west of E1Camino who undergo the noise pollution problems from jets flying over their homes, and the Council has tried to put together programs to allevite those problems from. an Airport that he felt was not really that cooperative. He stated that the Airport was really a quasi operation even though it is a government, has a tremen- dous bank account, and wields a lot of power. He stated that he had a problem with the first agreement, and had a problem with this amendment. He stated that it was the Airport vs. the local cities on noise pollution they create, and had to do with the Airport wanting to control land uses in this and other cities to their own betterment. He stated that there was a critical time period that the City was now involved with or rather the Airport was because they are going through a major expansion which will increase flights and their impacts on S.S.F. and other cities in the surrounding area. He stated that by accepting funds to place a moratorium east of the freeway was cowtowing to the Airport when the residents did not need the Airport to insulate their homes and 4/8/92 Page 19 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN -- 025 /'ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS 8. Resolution - Continued. ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS could pay the 20% themselves along with the 80% from the FAA. He stated that with the residents paying the $2,000, they would not have to give the Airport an easement, and could sue over noise impacts. He stated that he felt that the Airport had been very cheap in offering money for the insulation program in comparison to funds provided cities by other Airports. He stated that he had attended the Airport meeting with the Vice Mayor and staff and had walked away unimpressed. He stated that they were willing to give the $500,000 that they would take away from the $10,000,000, and now the City must place a moratorium on the property east of the freeway for 17 years and the people would be waiting another two years to get that money. He referred to the agreement in depth on its conditions, and stated that if the City did not certify and adopt the EIR report they don't have to give us the money. City Attorney O'Toole stated that that was correct, but by certification it meant that you certify a document, but does not require the City to make a decision one way or the other on the land use modifications. Discussion followed: that the action was not to modify the General Plan, but was consideration of an amendment to an agreement to do the required environmen- tal and planning work necessary to con- sider amendments to the General Plan; the housing element was currently being up- dated; State law was constantly changing on general plans and housing elements; cities were required to review their general plans every five years to see to its adequacy; City would receive, hope- fully in a couple of months, cer- tification from the State with our compliance with the State's General Plan, 4/8/92 Page 20 AGENDA ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS 8.

ACTION TAKEN 026 ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS and it was thought that would remain through the five year cycle; City has never had a certified housing element; that the City was looking at the east side for land use issues only which are noise sensitive, while the housing ele- ment was looking at the whole City; the $500,000 reimbursement was for actual costs expended; if the costs were only $100,000 then the remainder stayed with the $10,000,000 fund; agreement was for a period of 15 months; under State law a moratorium could be for as long as two years; not putting in noise sensitive projects was connected solely to the reimbursement; the studies would be ren- dered useless if noise sensitive uses were allowed in the area; Mayor Penna felt that commercial uses in that area were mute for the next five years, and residential uses if allowed would provide needed revenue to the City in property taxes and adopting this would handcuff the City; if the Council chose to fund this from some other source there would never be a need for a reimbursement; that the Airport funds were in escrow, but the City did not have written verification; the financial and legal ramifications if the City allowed noise sensitive land uses in that area, etc. Mayor Penna stated that he would like to see the item continued until Councilman Nicolopulos returned which would give him more time to go over the document in the 30 day period. Vice Mayor Teglia stated that Mayor Penna had sat in on the negotiations committee and had not voiced concerns, because if he had this would never have come forward to the Council. She stated that this would give the City information on miti- gation measures on the Airport, and if the City or cities went to Court against the Airport it could stop any future funds for insulation because there had already been suits for residential components 4/8/92 Page 21 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN' --~DMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS 8. Resolution - Continued. ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS under the flight path where housing had never existed before. She stated that the City had gone to the Airport for these funds for environmen- tal documents, and even without that it was a given that this would increase the residential components in that area. She stated that it was possible to work with the other cities for additional mitiga- tion measures and increased Airport funding. Mayor Penna stated that it was to the Airport's benefit to give the 20% because of the easements they received from the property owner to guarantee they would not sue. City Manager Armas suggested that if the item was to be continued that it only be to the next meeting. Discussion followed: that the ordinance would not be adopted this evening because there were not 4 votes for passage, and staff should be directed to go through the regular review process before the Planning Commission; that this would set back the environmental process for 30 days; that this would provide the funds for the environmental work to be done; that the agreement had been done by the Airport's land use attorneys and the City Attorney; Council could vote on the agreement tonight, but if the interim ordinance never goes into effect, then this agreement is not in effect; if the City waits too long the Airport is not bound by the agreement; the normal planning review for an ordinance would take 90 days, and would take a simple majority vote of Council; that only 500 homes had been insulated when there were some 8,000 that needed to be done.

Chief Planner Solomon stated that the letter objected to the expansion of the CMP Roadway Network to include the inter- sections of E1Camino Real/Westborugh- Chestnut and E1Camino Real/Hickey, and the roadway segment of Westborough-Sharp Park from E1Camino Real to Hwy 1. City Manager Armas stated that C/CAG will consider this, however, it had not been reviewed by the Council Subcommittee. Chief Planner Solomon stated that Hickey and E1Camino Real did not meet the traf- fic criteria approved last year, and the funding is based on adequacy of the Congestion Management Plan and there are not additional funds. City Manager Armas stated that Proposition 111 funds, approved by the voters, had that to the extent if you have deficiencies in this network and you don't address them, you could potentially have at risk supplemental gas tax dollars. He stated that the Administrative Committee is going to recommend to C/CAG that the Sharp Park Road Extension not be included because it doesn't meet the underlying criteria that C/CAG Board of Directors approved last year. He stated that where the City was susceptible to its getting adopted because of the level being severe of ser- vice was the intersection of Westborough/ Chestnut and E1Camino Real.

Public Hearing - 1992-93 Community Development Block Grant Program; Conduct Public Hearing; approve funding guidelines for public S~%~ service activities. PUBLIC H~ARINGS Mayor Penna opened the Public Hearing. Director of Economic & Community Develop- ment Costello stated that this was the first of two public hearings on CDBG entitlement of $538,000 for 1992-93 which was an increase of $21,000 from the prior year. She stated that there was a total of $7,535 available from the prior year's program income which made a total of $545,535 available for the 1992-93 program year. She stated that the public hearings were to allow organizations seeking CDBG funds to make a presentation on their proposed projects, and for the Council to approve the funding guidelines. The following organizations presented their requests for funding: Friends to Parents; Shelter Network; Center for Independence of the Disabled; Second Harvest Food Bank; Project Reach; Legal Aid; Family Service Agency; Project Sentinel; La Raza Centro Legal; Project Read; Human Investment Project; and Neighborhood Services Center Mayor Penna closed the Public Hearing. Discussion followed: staff should investigate which of the public service agencies were eligible for redevelopment set-aside funds; agendize for next meeting of Redevelopment Agency; Council Subcommittee should talk to School District about their 75% rent increase to public service agencies; new programs; qualifying as rehabs; looking at set- aside funds for Shelter Network, Shared Housing, and possibly Sentinel; duplica- tion of services; County mandated programs; etc. M/S Fernekes/Drago - To approve the funding guidelines.

Public Hearing - Consideration of possible interim ordinance prohi- biting noise sensitive land use in the land use to the east of U.S 101; 1) Conduct Public Hearing; approve interim zoning ordinance as an urgency measure. AN INTERIM URGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO ESTA- BLISHING A ZONING AND BUILDING MORATORIUM; PROHIBITING NOISE SENSITIVE LAND USES IN THE AREAS TO THE EAST OF US HIGHWAY 101 WHICH MAY BE IN CONFLICT WITH THE PREPARATION OF A CONTEMPLATED AREA PLAN AND IS TO BE EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE PUBLIC HEARINGS City Clerk Battaya read the title of the urgency ordinance in its entirety. Vice Mayor Teglia asked that during con- sideration of the previous item there had been an indication that there were not four votes for this item, and perhaps it could be cut short to allow the speakers to go home due to the hour. Mayor Penna stated that he would vote against this item, and opened the Public Hearing. He stated that there were let- ters from the Bay Area Council, San Mateo County Legal Aid Society, and Washburn, Briscoe & McCarthy, Attys. opposing the ordinance. Councilman Drago pointed out that there was a another alternative that he liked, to take no action until an application was made. Mr. Donald Wolfe, Building Industry Assn., stated that the Council should do something about needed housing for young first time home buyers for the expanding job market and the influx of people coming into the area, and urged the Council to not adopt this ordinance that would restrict the availability of homes in that area. Vice Mayor Teglia asked the speaker if he had considered a ballot measure to ask this community if they wanted an increase in residential density in an area tradi- tionally not used for housing. Mayor Penna felt it was a unfair that a Councilmember blamed Mr. Wolfe when this is a major industrial area with a lot of jobs, and we pride ourselves with the housing that goes along with the industry; and when you create a density of jobs the housing density should go along with it, otherwise you jeopardize the job base. 4/8/92 Page 25 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN ~UBLIC HEARINGS 11. Motion - Continued. PUBLIC HEARINGS John Briscoe, Esq. again spoke of his letter, and stated that the proposal was legally flawed, and the Council should instead choose Alternate 2. He stated that if you take the logic of staff's recommendation, i~ is that the urgency is created by the fact that a development application comes in and then you can take up the question. He felt that some- one filing an application was hardly an urgency, an urgency was created by a problem with the sewer facilities or drought. He stated that the Council should not adopt the urgency ordinance until a development application was received because this was not an urgency. Mr. Doug Thomas, Kohl Co., stated that he had heard people tonight seeking redeve- lopment money to improve hotels, and money for the homeless, and yet 700,000 people would move here and it will be worse. He stated that he had heard important, interesting things about the Airport and the need to insulate homes in the community. He stated that the Airport creates noise and is legally obligated to pay for insulation of homes - and should pay, but not at the expense or threat to the City. He stated that your rights as Councilmembers to make decisions should not happen by a deal with the Airport. He stated that the Airport creates problems, and should fix the problems. He stated that during the next two years the Airport was going to try to get their own expansion project approved in this County, and this will create a need for a minimum of 6,850 homes and turn the freeways into gridlock. He stated that during that period of time, the Airport was dangling $500,000 in front of the City for noise insulation, and questioned if the Council believed that they are not trying to influence you on other fac- tors, and would reimburse you if you don't do what the Airport wants. 4/8/92 Page 26 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN 032 - ~UBLIC HEARINGS 11. Motion - Continued. PUBLIC HEARINGS He stated that he was opposed to the agreement and the moratorium, and as a neighbor wanted to work with the Council, and felt that going with housing east of 101 would financially benefit the City by providing low and moderate income units. He stated that more companies would move in and create more jobs and necessitate more housing. He stated that there were other alternatives to solve the problems with the Airport and also bring added benefits to the City, and offered his help. He stated that the project envisioned out there was not just Serra, but the Shearwater project, to build jointly on the 75 acres, and the City would need a general plan amendment for the density required. He stated that the Shearwater project had been approved in 1985, wherein housing was deemed to be a com- patible land use by the Council. He stated that he envisioned a plan of somewhere between 4,000-6,000 units, hopefully with some offices, restaurants, marina, and parks, but nothing was speci- fic but something between 3 and 4 stories; and high rises would depend on the community. He stated that he was aware that Shearwater contemplated approximately 300 units, and Kohl was contemplating 37.5 units per acre for the project or 900 units, and this would require a general plan amendment. Mayor Penna closed the Public Hearing. Motion by Vice Mayor Teglia - To direct staff to prepare a zoning ordinance that is Alternative #1 on page 2 of the staff report.

He stated that staff had reviewed the request and is generally satisfied that a 4.6% increase is justified. Ms. Eloise Kee stated that she believed the company did important work beneficial to everyone, but had a complaint she had communicated to the company of replacing lids on the garbage cans after they were emptied. She stated that she had had to replace several lids and it could become expensive. Mayor closed the Public Hearing, and noted that the residential increase amounted to 35~.
