Satuday in October; the Cultural Arts Commission
determined that the water sculpture planned for
Junipero Serra is too expensive considering the
foundation and maintenance; they are looking at
another art form for the site and will come to
Council with the cost for another proposal.
Councilman Penna stated he would like to see a
water sculpture there and since the City has to main-
tain the park anyway the Commission should get the
costs and not be intimidated by them.
Councilwoman Matsumoto stated she would convey
that to the Commission. She feels that Jobs For
Youth Program in the City of San Mateo is fabulous
and wants staff to look into this.
Councilman Fernekes announced that on Friday

ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS
Director of Parks, Recreation & Community Servic-
es Nagel related: in 1989 this issue was dis-
cussed with the master plan and the Orange Park
Expansion for a linear park to be developed; but
with the difficult economics and the prioritizations it
did not go forward; at this time with the develop-
ment of the Kaiser Project there is the opportunity to
develop the linear park; staff is looking at a concrete
pathway, turf, ground covering, remeshed fencing,
however, any decision is in the infancy stages; what
jumped out at staff is that there are some homes in
Mayfair Village that encroach and impact the park
design with the surveillance and security standards;
staff is here to get direction and believe there are
about eight homes, and some are 4' from a bird's
eye view and proceeded to show slides of encroach-
ments into the planned park; staff hopes to create
esthetics and some palms to emulate Orange Park;

ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS
staff would also create a new fence along the back
of the homes to break out the linear park and the
homes; some sort of lighting is planned for security;
people are parking vehicles and boats in the area,
have extended landscaping as an encroachment, and
in some cases garages that encroach 4' into City
property; he requests Council direction on proceed-
ing with handling the encroachments and going
forward.
Discussion followed: Vice Mayor Datzman is there
vehicle access to the rear for emergency vehicles;
yes there is when the encroachment is taken care of,
and then there would no longer be access in the
rear; the Vice Mayor stated there are some areas
there where you can't drive through, that is the area
of encroachment, and the City had all kinds of
complaints on the lack of maintenance; he feels this
is an excellent opportunity to clean up the area and
make it look nice; Councilman Fernekes concurred,
for he has also had many complaints; he stated this
is what the community is asking for, a nice, pleasing
path; he complimented staff on the presentation;
Mayor Mullin also concurred and directed staff to
proceed by contacting the individuals that may have
some portions that are on City property and tell
them the City plans on enhancing the area for there
have been no applications to encroach; the Director
stated he would bring back a design.
