Director of Economic & Community
Development explained that position dealt
with the merchants and home owners, and
staff had proposed the salary based on a
total compensation package that was com-
parable to a senior planner and other
positions. She stated that the position
was created in 1988, and only that person
was given benefits of an MOU which ended
when the person terminated.
Councilman Drago stated that he had
opposed this salary two weeks ago, and
felt the raise was extremely high. He
stated that the new staff report seems
like we are talking about a different job
because the percentage increase had been
changed, and wondered what would have
happened if Council had voted that night

when now there were different numbers and
different justifications. He stated that
now the position was being compared to
City positions when before it was com-
pared with three other cities, and the
hourly wage had changed. He stated that
he would not support it.
He stated that it was confusing - we were
told there were no raises, but the
research since 1988 shows a six month
raise, a raise a year later, and 9%
that was over 20% of the original salary,
and asking another 20%. He did not feel
this was realistic, and would not support
it.
He stated that he did appreciate person-
nel responding to his questions from the
previous meeting, however, he did not
agree with turning the benefits into
cash. He questioned why the salary was
5% greater than the other staff report.
Director of Economic & Community
Development Costello stated that the
staff report responded to other questions
from Council, in addition to Councilman
Drago's.
She stated that the top step of the
salary comparison was done in June 1991,
and there had been a AFSCME cost of
living increase in July 1991; and there
had been an error in the report that
did not list that increase.
Discussion followed: comparison salary
to other cities; that the salary for the
position had been raised over 30% since
1988; that Councilman Yee had asked staff
to make comparisons to City positions,
and had asked for a copy of the job spe-
cifications; why staff had not brought
this information forward at the last
meeting; that it should not be in the
resolution that this salary is below the
average; Councilman Yee wanted to know
what Councilman Drago felt the salary

should be so they could get on with the
item; that $50,000 of taxpayers money for
this position bothered Councilman Drago
when the Council was contemplating
layoffs, and a lot of people were looking
for jobs and would accept this job for
10% less; that this would not have an
impact on the General Fund because it was
totally funded by CDBG funds; to imple-
ment the rehab program the position was
needed; that a building inspector could
do the job because of the need for
knowledge of building codes, dealing with
banks for loans, inspecting that the work
is being done properly; Councilman Yee
felt the real question was whether we
were paying the position comparable to an
engineering draftsman because it was
highly technical and management oriented,
etc.
M/S Yee/Teglia - To adopt the Resolution.
RESOLUTION NO. 74-92
Carried by majority voice vote,
Councilman Drago voted no.
City Engineer Van Dohren stated that
there had been several unresolved
questions at the last Council meeting on
capital improvements. He stated that one
of those was keeping $100,000 in capital
contingency, and if that is not desired
to maintain a $100,000 reserve that would
go into the ending balance if not used
for unforeseen projects to fund.
He stated that one of the other issues
was Appian Way and to perform soil tests
and preliminary engineering work, and to
determine the condition of the road for
redesign and reconstruction; and come
back in September for funding. He stated
that staff would work with the City
Attorney to get assistance from the
Developer on the problems. He stated
that they had identified potential
funding for the road that could be used

in future years that included Gas Tax
funds, and Measure A funds would not be
available until 1995-1996 fiscal year.
He stated that Council could direct staff
to change the capital improvement budget
to proceed with the engineering and
design of Appian Way for a budget of
$20,000.
Vice Mayor Teglia stated that she had
looked at Appian Way, and it was in
terrible condition. She questioned what
responsibility the Developer had for the
road.
City Engineer Van Dohren stated that he
was not familiar with the problem with the
Developer.
City Manager Armas stated that they were
talking about the subdivision that is
adjoining the street. He stated that the
Developer did some work and for financial
reasons the Developer was unable to con-
tinue to go forward, and given the work
that was done there was damage to the
roadway. He stated that before the City
went forward 100%, they wanted to
investigate if we can get the Developer
involved if he gets new financing.
Vice Mayor Teglia questioned if this was
a liability for the Developer if he got
the financing.
City Manager responded in the affir-
mative.
Vice Mayor Teglia spoke of the many deve-
lopers who had started projects and gone
bankrupt, and in this case this project
was an eyesore with a blighting effect.
She questioned if there could be
something in the approval process where
the City could safeguard that this would
not happen as is very evident in the
Colina Project.
Councilman Yee stated that he had written

the condition in the Appian subdivision
agreement for the Developer to improve
his half of the street. He stated that
if Council looked at the subdivision map
they would find the requirement, so they
needed to work with the developer and
cite the condition.
Vice Mayor Teglia stated that she
appreciated that, however, if the deve-
loper had gone bankrupt the City can't
require them to do much. She wondered if
the City could go a step further and
require that funds be put forward for
these conditions.
Councilman Yee stated that there was a
performance bond in place.
City Manager Armas stated that the
building permit in its entirety required
that it be done.
Discussion followed: that the developer
had only secured financing for the ini-
tial phase; that they had not satisfied
City requirements; Councilman Yee noted
that the subdivision bond could deal with
the public improvements separate from the
houses; concern by Vice Mayor Teglia that
it could become a blight on the
community, and questioned if the City
could demand a guaranty of funding
without the work being phased; Councilman
Drago wanted Appian Way street repair
added to the capital improvement program;
that the $20,000 was for the preliminary
engineering design and soil investigation
to determine the cost to do the project;
using Measure A monies; that the balance
of Measure A funds was being held for
Hickey Blvd.; Councilman Yee felt that
this was a hidden agenda in reference to
Measure A funds, and it appeared that
Council was earmarking funds and staff
was making the decisions; that there were
funds for Appian Way if Council chose to
change the priorities; staff was asking
Council to direct them to spend $20,000

for preliminary work on Appian Way and to
prepare bid documents, etc.
Mr. Bob Stevens, 2435 Tipperary Ave.,
stated that he had been in Washington
during the budget session, however, half
of his concerns had been addressed
tonight on Appian Way which was becoming
more deteriorated daily.
He stated that two to four years ago
there had been a promise made by Council
to do a traffic study on Westborough/
Gellert, and an alignment was added and
the traffic study disappeared and never
came to pass. He stated that Westborough/
Gellert was a bad intersection during the
evening hours when one headed into the
sun and crossed the street. He stated
that 380 and Sharp Park dumped onto
Westborough and created hellacious traf-
fic problems that were compounded by the
Gellert crossing. He urged Council to
include the traffic study in the capital
improvement budget.
Discussion followed: that this had been
looked at in the Westborough/Gellert
design by the planners, the developer,
and the Planning Commission two years
ago; concern by Mr. Stevens that the
residents had not been told of these
efforts when there were 16 homeowners
associations; that the Council and
Planning Commission had held a series of
meetings at the park building to solicit
input from the area; that a study had not
been done since Sharp Park was opened;
that the study was put off because of the
Sharp Park construction; staff would look
into the matter, etc.
M/S Teglia/Fernekes - To adopt the
Resolution and include $20,000 design for
Appian Way.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
Mayor Penna opened the Public Hearing.
Director of Parks, Recreation & Community
Development Nagel explained: that the
construction promise of 12-18 months had
not been met; request for proposals for
the construction consultant would be mid
August; construction in Spring; finish in
summer; when design established in fall
there will be meetings with residents;
present danger was from exposed
sidewalks; assessment was being lowered
from $58.00 to $39.00 per unit because of
lawsuit; $16,000 would be received from
augmentation fund, etc.
Ms. Eloise Kee, 2342 Greendale, stated
that she was concerned over the absentee
landlords whose tenants have five to
eight cars they park on the sidewalk,
common greens, and people's driveways all
hours of the night. She stated that
there had been some relief through
mediation and the police patrol efforts.
She stated that she had bought plants for
the side of the house, and the kids on
their skateboards destroyed the lawn and
the plants. She urged the Council to
have the police be more visible in the
area, and give tickets to illegally
parked cars. She asked that the gazebo
be removed and be replaced with benches

there were roughnecks that strew broken
glass, and do not live in the area but
take advantage of the people who are
afraid to let their children play in
the area.
She stated that a tree had been removed
and the ground cemented over, and
suggested that this be used for potted
plants. She stated that the area
should be beautiful through the
assessment improvements, and not be
turned into a slum.
Ms. Warlita Songco stated that she agreed
with going ahead with the project because
she jogged every day and the area was
awful. She stated that there were so
many parked cars that the street cleaners
could not clean the street. She stated
that San Francisco gave tickets for this,
and if S.S.F. ticketed after posting war-
nings, the revenue could be helpful.
She stated that in her neighborhood there
were many houses that were rented and the
occupants had five or six cars in front
of the houses, and it was an eyesore.
She stated that on Greendale there was an
association, but they don't take care of
the weeds and broken glass that make it
unsafe for the kids and the older
people as Mrs. Kee had mentioned.
Mayor Penna questioned if there were
signs posted for street cleaning.
Vice Mayor Teglia replied, only in the
downtown area.
Mr. Perry Bautista, 2437 Rowntree, stated
that he was President of the Westborough

He asked that the suggestion of making

Mayor Penna closed the Public Hearing.

was to be incorporated into the planning

the barbecue areas were attracting
vandals; the need for police patrol;
that the common greens brought activi-
ties to the area that were not wholesome;
it was an engineering holdup that
delayed the project; to have limited
parking on the streets; that the area had
been assessed for two years without
anything being done; that the assessment
funds had to stay with the district; that
staff would keep the contractor on-line;

Director of Parks, Recreation & Community

Mr. Richard Lyons, 30 Inverness Way,
Hillsborough, stated that there was an
assessment increase from $209.00 to
$268.00 per unit which he thought was
a lot of money for the improvements to be
made. He questioned if the improvements
could be scaled down because they could
not pass the increase on to their
tenants because it would cause vacancies.
He questioned the interest rate the City
would have to pay for the bonds.
Director of Finance Margolis stated that
in the current bond market the rate was
7% and they were eight year bonds.
Mr. Lyons again asked for the project to
be scaled down because he did not feel

proceedings.
Mr. Frank De Cesare, 312 Susie Way,
stated that he did not have a problem
with the assessment as long as he could
see improvements because he lived close
to the area. He stated that this had
been collected for a year and no improve-
ments could be seen.
Director of Parks, Recreation & Community
Service Nagel stated that the City was
ready to move forward on two years of
funding because one year was not suf-
ficient to do the work. He stated that
the sidewalk repairs would cost $25,000
and would be done this summer, and
the other work was already awarded and
would be completed in late summer.
Mr. De Cesare stated that he was really
concerned about the trash in the area,
and he had hoped that these improvements
would stop his having to go and pick up
garbage and papers in the area every day.
He stated that the people at 208 Susie
Way don't have their garbage picked up
and it is strewn about, and some people
throw mattresses in the area that add to
the problem.
Ms. Janet Lyons stated that she and her
husband owned four buildings and wanted
to see the area improved, however, she
felt that the cost of the improvements
were inflated and not realistic. She
asked that the City take the time to shop
around for better estimates, and make the
money go further by using it wisely.
Mayor Penna closed the Public Hearing.
Discussion followed: the amount
available each year for improvements from
the assessments; the bidding process; the
amount of improvements; that the improve-
