So ordered. 6/28/95 Page 1 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN ORAL COMMUNICATIONS 6/28/95 Page 2 ORAL COMMUNICATIONS Ms. Patricia Burke, 1700 El Camino Real, Rue 21- 23, expressed concern over digging behind the Trailer Park and how it would affect the residents. Mr. Bob Martin, 834 Hickory Place, spoke of a rodent crisis which has raised health and safety concerns in his neighborhood with garbage and dead rats which are also a danger to their domestic ani- mals. He stated the rats run between the apartment buildings near Armour. In the past the procedure was to contact the City and County officials, but the rat conditions are only abated for a short period of time. He stated it is a crisis because the two apartment complexes concerned are continuing to have trash exposed or under or around their dumpsters. He stated the addresses of the apartments are at 850 and 505 Armour. He had been told by the Human Soci- ety that the rats had been in the area before he came to the City, and urged the Council to abate the problem. City Manager Wilson stated he was in contact with Vector Control who will come out to the area and investigate, they have an abatement program, but will not give the poison to the home owner to use. Discussion followed: Councilman Fernekes com- mented that Mr. Martin was correct the City only abated the problem for a short while; Vice Mayor Drago stated there were roof rats in Buri Buri and the County came in and charged the City to remove them, but it was only a pilot program; etc. Mr. George Bugnatto, Old Town Homeowners Assn., urged the Council to help Mr. Martin in this health problem which in prior times led to bubonic plague and other diseases that reemerge from sickly rats wandering in the neighborhoods. He stated the neighborhoods were also being overcome by rac- coons who are carriers of disease and destroy do- mestic pets. Mr. Manny Madriaga, 23 Sunrise Court, expressed concern: over a number of jobs leaving the County and the State; reasonably high paying data process- ing jobs are being farmed out of the U.S.A.; he felt people should become more comfortable with A~ENDA ORAL COMMUNICATIONS Councilman Penna Arrived at the Meeting: COMMUNITY FORUM 6/28/95 Page 3 ACTION TAKEN 2Ci': ORAL COMMUNICATIONS computers by taking advantage of Parks & Recre- ation, the libraries and Boys & Girls Club computer classes to bring computer literacy to the young people, as well as internet and super highway; Levi Straus had given a $5,000 grant to make this possi- ble; he urged the Council to budget more money for software and computer classes. Mr. Doug Butler, 133 Adrian Ave., stated two weeks ago the City Attorney decided to put gaming on the ballot which he felt was good for it will give the citizens an opportunity, he felt, to vote no on the measure. He felt it was logical for the Measure to be put on the 11/7/95 election, instead 9/12/95 is set for the special election. He cited other concerns: the special election will cost $40,000; the Developer is proposing a 150 table card club which is four or five times the size of Artichoke Joe's; the Developer is supposed to pay the election bill; he thinks this is like putting the fox in charge of the coop and is a dangerous precedence when a Developer can pay for a special election; he believes the voters are sophisticated enough to weigh the pros and cons of the measure and realize the negatives of the measure will outweigh the good and will vote no on 9/12/95. Councilwoman Teglia rebutted comments made by Mr. Butler: she also has a lot of faith in the com- munity who will look at the positive aspects of the measure and weigh them; the public is waiting for factual data to study; etc. Discussion followed: Vice Mayor Drago comment- ed on the many issues that will be on the November ballot vs. this measure being alone on the September ballot; Councilman Fernekes noted the special elec- tion would be without cost to the voters with one item requiring a simple yes or no. Councilman Penna arrived at the meeting at 8:15 p.m. COMMUNITY FORUM Councilman Fernekes wants a report on the Harbor District because the newspapers say the fees are going up and the District is broke.

BEYER TO CONTINUE SERVING AS INTERIM DIRECTOR OF ECO- NOMIC & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Resolution authorizing preparation and execution of a consultant services agreement with Jerry Haag for planning services for the Shearwater Development. A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO AND JERRY HAAG FOR PLANNING SERVICES RELATED TO SHEARWATER DEVELOPMENT M/S Teglia/Drago - To approve the Consent Calen- dar with the exception of Items 4 and 6. Carried by unanimous voice vote. City Manager Wilson stated the extension was need- ed because of the vacancy in the Director's position. He stated this contract runs for a year and has a ten day termination clause, however, he had indicated in the budget that he would utilize Mr. Beyer's services after a Director is hired. Mr. Leu Dell'Angela, 460 Gardenside Ave., stated the proposal is to pay the individual $85,000 for half-time work and to recruit for a Community Development Director at a salary of an additional $100,000 in addition to benefits. He felt this was extravagant when supposedly the City has mon- ey problems and is cutting back on jobs. He stated the other item is Item No. 6, which is related, to hire Jerry Haag. It appears to him that the City is getting a lot of indian chiefs doing a great deal of work, decimating the lower levels and telling them the City cannot afford to keep them on staff. He felt there was going to be a dual responsibility, Mr. Beyer should work at that price until the new Director comes on board fulltime and then use the money for Mr. Beyer for other purposes. He does not know what the consultant is going to do for the Shearwater Development or why the City needs Mr. Beyer when they have a fulltime Director and the position should be phased out. He wants to know what the Shearwater consultant is going to be doing and whether he is going to be doing the EIR on the casino, but did not think he could do it by the time the September election is held. He did not understand why the City was going to spend the money on the EIR when money is tight and needs to be justified. He wants to know what is happening in the Planning and Building Divisions. He understands the Fire Department will be over the Building and Planning Divisions, yet nothing has changed and he does not see any improvement in the processing of permits for the small homeowners and business 6/28/95 Page 5 4. and6. A~ENDA Resolutions - Continued. 6/28/95 Page 6 ACTION TAKEN people. He was in the Planning Office and asked what to do for a certain application, and the response was may- be you could check upstairs. He believes that Planning should be able to deal with issues in a straight forward manner without looking for the Manager or Council. He believes Council should find the problem and correct it. City Manager Wilson stated the contract for Item 4 is drafted on the assumption that Beyer is interim Director for we were not successful with the recruit- ment for the Director of Public Works. He stated the new Director will expand community develop- ment and redevelopment and he will then use Mr. Beyer as a Coordinator/Manager on a parttime basis as projects arise. Mayor Yee stated he could understand where Mr. Dell'Angelo was coming from and wants to wait until the Director is hired, find out how much more is needed for Mr. Beyer, but do not make a commit- ment. He stated there has been a lot of problems with the building permit process and planning, and recently Mr. Wilson undertook a dramatic change in direc- tion and asked the Fire Marshal to take over the Building Division. As far as the Planning Division is concerned, perhaps there will be an improvement when the new Director comes on board. Discussion followed: it was not unusual for the Fire Department to take over the Building Division; the consultant for the Shearwater is paid by the Devel- oper and does not come out of the General Fund or the employees pocket; etc. M/S Teglia/Penna - To adopt the Resolution for the Agreement with Robert F. Beyer. RESOLUTION NO. 56-95 Carried by unanimous voice vote. M/S Drago/Teglia - To adopt the Resolution for an agreement with Jerry Haag. RESOLUTION NO. 57-95 A~ENDA 6. Resolution - Continued. DMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS 17. Status report on the Terrabay Development. ACTION TAKEN Carried by unanimous voice vote. ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS City Manager Wilson stated, as indicated in the report, he outlined several concerns where work has been on-going over the past several months. Build- ing permits were submitted for the construction of ten model homes, single family and town homes. They tried to commit to review in a 30 day period, but in looking at the plans there was a need to im- prove the coordination and some of the code updates were required to be made on the plans were not done for the plan check. He stated the plans were sent back and are in the process of being resubmit- ted to staff, Another aspect is the EIR which is re- quired because of the extension of the Development Agreement and Specific Plan which will require an evaluation because the initial EIR was adopted sev- eral years ago. He stated at the last Council meeting the Council authorized the City Manager to execute the prepara- tion of the EIR. Another issue that received con- siderable issue is the slide area which must be re- paired as part of the implementation on completion of Phase I. He stated there have been further geo- logical studies of the slide area as a result of the wet winters. He continued at great length: staff will receive a proposal from Sterling with backup information to be considered; what has been done on the punch list; dedication of the fire station; finishing of the infra structure and irrigation repair and the Hillside linear park within a 30 day period; a number of outstand- ing bonds have been used and all but two of these bonds have been released; there are a number of permits that are in various stages of completion; etc. Assistant City Manager Martel related: the City is moving forward with a supplemental EIR; discussion of delaying the EIR for business purposes; the prop- erty taxes are in arrears which the representa- tives of Sterling plan to take care of through the sale of each individual lot; the County guarantees the property tax to the City and bares the loss and ef- fects penalties; etc. Discussion followed: can a public member attend the scoping meeting; yes they may; staff shall in- 6/28/95 Page 7 AGENDA ACTIQN TAKEN ADMININISTRATIVE BUSINESS · Status report on the Terrabay Developmem - Contin- ued. RECESS: :CALL TO ORDER: ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS form Ms. Pont on the date and time of the meeting; Councilman Fernekes had asked this matter be agendized because there is a lot of misinformation circulating, so he wants it all laid out on the table for the public; the County, if the property tax is not paid at the end of the fiscal year, will calculate the interest payment along with the unpaid balance and penalties, however, if that is not paid then it can be placed on a lien sale; Councilman Fernekes feels the property taxes should be paid by Sterling, but whose obligation is it to pay; the debt has been outstanding since the foreclosures; this will be passed onto the people buying the lots; some of the misinformation is that the builder was able to file permits which Councilman Fernekes found out was not true; there is a scheduling plan for the construc- tion and the grading will be approved by the Council prior to any building permits being issued, but the Assistant City Manager had not been able to confirm whether that was done in 1982 with Mr. Dean; this was different than what Councilman Fernekes was told by staff; Councilwoman Teglia saw a problem with the lack of coordination with the architect; can building permits be issued if the EIR is not confirmed; the tolling period; the Developer will probably want an extension of time for the market place for the first phase for they already have the lots and can build at any time and the EIR only affects the other phases; the EIR does have applicability to Phase I; the Developer has vested rights if they are in Phase I before 2/24/98; Councilman Fernekes is concerned over Slide Area A, because they can lose 5 or 6 sites if nothing is done; the City has not received a formal proposal; the 91st permit triggers a child care program; Coun- cilwoman Teglia wants this subject agendized once a month to update Council; 36 homes can be built which triggers the pump station; concern was raised on the recreation center that it would be pushed off to the taxpayers; the tolling period; there are no assurances on Phase I; the City does not know who the builders are; staff to investigate who released the bonds; etc. Mayor Yee declared a recess at 9:05 p.m. Mayor Yee recalled the meeting to order at 9:15 p.m.., all Council was present. 6/28/95 Page 8 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN PUBLIC HEARINGS 0.

Chief Planner Solomon gave a brief staff report and stated the report supports the change. Discussion followed: when was the tentative map approved; Chief Planner does not know, other than it is a 12/94 tentative map. Mr. Mark Robson, Santa Clara Dev. Co. stated it would be six to eight weeks before they would have a final map agendized and recorded. However, they don't want to do the grading in the rainy season and will schedule it out for the improvements have to be done. It takes six to eight months for the map process, because plan checking takes time to put together for the comments have been lengthy. There have been two plan checks and the third one is being done now. Mayor Yee expressed concern in allowing grading without a subdivision map for it will be like Terrabay where the Hillside is already graded. Discussion followed: Councilwoman Teglia wants to know if they are going to build this or turn it over to someone else for she wants some guaranty; Mr. Robson stated they will be here from start to finish for their finances are in place; Mayor Yee commented, if they walk away then the City will have to deal with the erosion; could require a bond for an urgency control plan for erosion; if required Mr. Robson will put up a bond or cash; is there any liability exposure if approved; the City has discre- tionary immunity for this; etc. M/S Drago/Teglia - Approved the modification to the tentative map Planning Condition No. 6 to read, No building permits shall be issued on this site until the final map is recorded. In addition, grading of the northerly portion of the Parkway Junior High School property shall not be permitted until that portion of the property is acquired by the pro- ject owner.

Councilwoman Teglia stated those properties house South City Ford's repairs and show room and are across the street from the City's parking lot. She stated South City Ford had originally started out with a lot on El Camino and then purchased the lot on Miller where we asked for a clean-up and the barbed wire be torn down. Mr. Gonzales stated he took the barbed wire down, and she was talking about clean-up of a foot strip he was going to cement, and every year the City asks him to clean up the tall weeds and he does.

Motion to accept the Blue Line Transfer Station Audit Report as prepared by Arthur Anderson LLP. 52,~7 13. Discussion and Motion to approve the strategy for fee compilation of the proposed Stormwater Management Program rate structure for Fiscal Year 1995-96. ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS Mr. Dave Catline, Arthur Anderson LLP, stated all guidelines have been met and as long as the transfer falls within 102% it will be considered reasonable. He stated it looks as though the compensation for various shareholders/employees is limited to a num- ber of employees and the cap looks like a given and is subject to interpretation, however, he was looking at it cold but related compensation should be charged to the organizations. It is not known whether the overall compensation includes or ex- eludes other compensation like retirement and health benefits meaning that it is a total compensation cap that includes retirement or is the cap for salary type compensation and which organization is paying the compensation. He felt it might be important to do a review of the tonnage. Councilwoman Teglia spoke on the issue of salaries: there are 12 working partners, but if they went out of the market she is not sure they would get $80,000 a year; that is almost one million dollars, so if they also charge those salaries to Blue Line then it comes back into the expenses and in the end we guaranty them a 10% profit. Discussion followed: why the concern that the same employees and officers are working for Blue Line as well as for the Scavenger Co.; what difference does it make what the officers make; the real issues are their rates and keeping their operation costs down so they can be cheaper than anyone else. M/S Teglia/Penna - To accept the Blue Line Trans- fer Station Audit Report as prepared by Arthur Anderson LLP. Carried by unanimous voice vote. Discussion followed: of the proposed structure; Mayor Yee wants the formula to be changed to square footage; staff is waiting for the County to release the computer tapes on square footage.
