Carried by unanimous voice vote. ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS 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 7/8/92 Page 3 AGENDA CONSENT CALENDAR 9. Resolution - Continued. ACTION TAKEN CONSENT CALENDAR 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 7/8/92 Page 4 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN .ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS 9. Resolution - Continued. 10. Resolution approving the Capital Improvement Program for 1992-1993 to 1996-1997. A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM FOR 1992-1993 TO 1996-1997 ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS 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 7/8/92 Page 5 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS 10. Resolution - Continued. ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS 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 7/8/92 Page 6 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN ,ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS 3. Resolution - Continued. ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS 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 7/8/92 Page 7 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN _~ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS .0. Resolution - Continued. £07 ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS 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.

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 7/8/92 Page 11 AGENDA .PUBLIC HEARINGS 18. Public Hearing - Continued. ACTION TAKEN PUBLIC HEARINGS for the older people to sit, because 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 Hills Assn. No. 7, and agreed with the two previous speakers. He stated that there were approximately 16 associations in the area and it was 7/8/92 Page 12 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN 2!2 PUBLIC HEARINGS 19. Public Hearing - Continued. (Cassette No. 2) 19.

He stated that he would work with Mr. Na§el to make sure that at least one of the members of the Board of Directors of the associations attended the meetings. He asked that the suggestion of making the police more visible in the area be ordered. Mayor Penna closed the Public Hearing. Discussion followed: meetings previously held and the concern voiced by residents was to be incorporated into the planning process for the common greens; whether 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; that engineering had been missing a staff member that had delayed the project; Councilman Yee wanted staff to give Council the complete schedule of the pro- ject so it could be monitored, etc. M/S Teglia/Fernekes - To adopt the Resolution.

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 that the property owners will benefit to 7/8/92 Page 14 AGENDA .__PUBLIC HEARINGS 20. Public Hearing - Continued.

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- ment plans had been presented to the pro- perty owners; that garbage service is 7/8/92 Page 15 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN .

Mayor Penna stated that he had a request from Councilwoman Pam Rianda of Belmont for the Council to support her appoint- ment to the Criminal Justice Council. Councilmembers Drago and Teglia stated that they knew her and would support the appointment. Mayor Penna stated that several cities had endorsed Senator Kopp's SB266 on air- port insulation, and questioned if the Council would also go on record in sup- port of the bill. Vice Mayor Teglia felt the Council should refrain from any support at this time because the plan calls for $4,000,000 for all cities and falls short of what the City receives from the Airport. She stated that C/CAG had set up a nego- tiating committee on the impacts in the EIR of the Airport master plan, and wanted to wait until that was decided. She stated that he Airport had said that if legislation passes they would challenge it, and there was an opinion that the legislation will not hold up. Mayor Penna noted that the Airport was submitting altered noise maps which shrink the areas to be insulated, and he felt that the Airport should mitigate the noise they make, etc. Councilman Yee stated that it was clear to him that whether it was the bill or 7/8/92 Page 17 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN __ITEMS FROM COUNCIL GOOD AND WELFARE CLOSED SESSION 24.

Mayor Penna directed that consideration of SB266 be put on the next agenda. Vice Mayor Teglia stated that the School Liaison Committee would be meeting on surplus school sites and open space. He stated that interviews for Boards and Commissions will be scheduled for late September.
