BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION The City Council will recall that at the regular meeting of April 9, 2003, Richard Napier requested Council's support of AB 1546, however, the City Council took no action on the item. AB 1546 has been sponsored by C/CAG and will authorize the C/CAG Board to levy an assessment of up to four dollars on the motor vehicle registration fee to support two types of programs that address the impacts of automobiles. The first program is to deal with traffic congestion. The funding will be used for a wide range of transportation services throughout the County. Some of these projects could include more shuttle services, implementing intelligent transportation systems, and enhancements to our transit network. The second program is to address the storm water pollution that is directly the result of automobiles. The copper residue from brake pads and the condensation of mercury from vehicle exhaust are major sources of pollution in storm drains and ultimately in the Bay, the Ocean, and local streams and creeks. Funding from this bill will be available to support Countywide efforts to manage storm water pollution and also to provide grants to the cities and the County for its locally managed programs. This bill has the potential to raise almost $3 million dollars per year for these programs. This evening, C/CAG representatives will once again approach the City Council requesting a letter of support for AB 1546. Respectfully submitted, ~-.B~. M. Nage_l ~~ Assistant City M~anager 'Michael A. W/~~ Approved' ~ City Manager Attachment April 9, 2003 Honorable ;Joe Simifian State Capitol - Room 5I 19 m Sacramento, CA 95814 Re: SUPPORT OF C/CAG SPONSORED ASSEMBLY BILL 1546 Dear Assemblyman Simitian: The City of South Sma Francisco supports the C/CAG sponsored Bill AB 1546 that would authorize C/CAG to assess up to $~, ha motor vehicle fees. The purpose of this fee is to establish a pilot program that would fired congestion management activities to reduce congestion to the benefit of the driving motorist. It would also provide funding for motor vehicle related programs of the state mandated (unfoundexl) Countywide Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program (STOPPP). The first objective of AB 1546 is to maximize the capacity of the current transportation i~eture through transportation system measures. These measures include, but ~re not limited to ramp metering, employer and local shuttles, intelligent transportation systems, real time information systems on the freeway, park and ri~ lots, and advanced accident removal systems with automatic re-routing oftrat~c. The second objective is to address the storm water pollution that flows to San Francisco Bay as a result of the debris from motor vehicles and its infrastructure. The Stormwater Progra~ is an unfunded State mandate. Some of the programs it will support include but are not limited to countywide public education, grants to local jurisdictions, countywide monitoring and studies, ~ training for city and county staffto meet permit requirements. This will provide an ongoing source of funding for capital .and operating expenses for the storm water pollution prevention programs that are mandated unfle-r the Clean Water Act, but not funded by the State. AB 1546 will be financially beneficial to all cities and the County as a whole. Your c~rying this Bill is appreciated and we look forward to working with you to gain p~sage oftMs piece of litigation. Please feel free to contact me at (650) $77-S500 if you have any questions. Sincerely, Pedro Oonzalez Mayor A~ovah CONGEST/ON ~ PII,0T PROC.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION The SSFCP is a partnership of the City of South San Francisco, the South San Francisco Unified School District, the San Mateo County Health Services Agency and Human Services Agency, community based agencies and community members funded by the Peninsula Partnership for Children, Youth and Families, and the Partnership for the Public's Health. Our mission is to meet the educational, physical, emotional and social needs of children and families by building on the diverse individual and organizational assets of our community so that every child succeeds in school and in life. This mission is accomplished by identifying gaps in services, securing and leveraging resources to meet these gaps, and by acting as a liaison between resources, partner organizations and the community so that residents get better connected to services and services get better connected to community. Our goals are Kindergarten Readiness, Literacy by Third Grade, and Healthy Children and Families. The SSFCP has been awarded $10,000 from the Peninsula Partnership for Children, Youth and Families to collaborate with Peninsula Works Daly City to make job training services more accessible to South San Francisco residents. The SSFCP will work with Peninsula Works to develop a "train the trainers" program where local residents will receive specialized job skills training - such as how to research jobs, write a resume and interview - and then teach these skills to the greater community. In addition, the SSFCP received $350 from Kaiser Permanente to conduct outreach to increase participation at Kaiser's Neighbors in Health (NIH) event held this past June.

BACKGROUND/DIS CUS SION The Omnibus FY 1996 Appropriations Act, (Public Law 104-134), authorized the Director of the Bureau of Justice assistance (BJA) to make funds available to units of local government under the Local Law Enforcement Block Grant Program (LLEBG). The purpose of the LLEBG Program is to reduce crime and improve public safety. These funds have been made available again for this year. Use of the LLEBG Program funds is clear and jurisdictions that are awarded the funds must meet a Matching Funds Requirement. The funding category in "law enforcement support" lists hiring, training, overtime and equipment. An additional requirement of the LLEBG Program is to assemble an advisory board, whose membership includes representatives of groups with a recognized interest in criminal justice. As a result, the advisory board consisting of representation from the Police Department, Prosecutor's Office, Probation Department, School District and a local nonprofit group, met on August 19, 2003 to review the application for funding and to make non-binding recommendations to the Police Department for the use of funds received under this program. At that meeting the advisory board affirmed the Department's recommendation: the LLEBG Program funds would be used for overtime to continue our gang suppression efforts and our Downtown / Old Town Bicycle Program as well as the purchase of equipment. To track expenditures, a special project referencing number will be established for the Local Law Enforcement Block Grant (LLEBG) Program Fund. Overtime: $20,000. Equipment: $6,870. Matching Funds: $2,986. Staff Report Subject: Budget Amendment - LLEBG Page 2 The matching funds will be transferred from our existing Patrol Overtime account # 10-12720-4004 to the newly established special project referencing account. The grant allows us a two-year period to expend all funds. Therefore, any funds not used this year will be carried over to next year's budget.

We limit our commentary to routing within the City limits of South San Francisco. In these comments, we offer general observations regarding the desirability of the route delineated in the project description (along the BART line, McLellan Drive, and Lawndale Boulevard) and the undesirability of the putative "Environmentally Superior Alternative" (along Shaw Road, Produce Avenue, Gateway Boulevard, etc.) We offer detailed comments demonstrating serious enviromv..enta! and practical problems with ~he "Enviromnenta!!y Superior Alternative," demonstrating a lack of analysis of issues raised by that alternative. We also propose a far more environmentally sensitive alternative which might be administratively challenging but would be a clearly "Environmentally Superior Alternative" in virtually all respects. General comments: City of South San Francisco staff met with PG&E representatives early in the process on this project. The City reviewed the route defined inthe project description (along the BART right- of-way, McLellan Drive, and Lawndale Boulevard (Lawndale Boulevard is physically within the Town of Colma.) This route is acceptable to the City and raises no significant safety or construction issues. The necessary excavation for this route is along recently disturbed CITY HALL, 400 GRAND AVENUE, P.O. BOX 711, SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, CA 94083 at the fueling facility are unknown, but the operation of the facility would be disrupted if the route passes through the parcel. Construction on the on-ramp would be extremely disruptive to businesses, employees, and residents of South San Francisco. At Terminal Court, the on-ramp becomes Produce Avenue, which is the northern leg of the on-ramp addressed in the preceding paragraph. Construction on this street would obviously be seriously disruptive. Worse, Terminal Court is the sole access to the Golden Gate Produce Terminal, which is the largest produce terminal in the Bay Area. The nature of this facility is that operations cannot be disrupted for even a single day without large-scale effects throughout the Bay Area due to the perishable nature of the products it distributes. Further, there are shallow storm drains in the area, which is also prone to seasonal and high-tide flooding. The federal Flood Insurance Rate Map shows this area generally as "Zone B," subject to flooding during 100 year storm events. However, due to the obsolescence of the maps, upstream development which leads to increase nmoff, ongoing subsidence of bay mud, and occasional combinations of high tides and storms, the area is subject to localized flooding virtually every year. Continuing along Produce Avenue, the route will encounter previously installed sub- grade improvements which will require replacement. Crossing under Colma Creek will probably require closure of Produce Avenue due to the size of the necessary bore pits and will disrupt the southbound Freeway 101 off-ramp to Produce Avenue and South Airport Boulevard. The heavy traffic in this area will be severely disrupted by construction. Crossing under Freeway 101 on South Airport Boulevard, the route will encounter two sewer force mains. This undercrossing is a major route to businesses east of Freeway 101, and construction will create a major disruption. From the freeway undercrossing, the route roms north along Gateway Boulevard. Halfway to East Grand Avenue, raikoad tracks must be crossed. A 24-hour major truck fueling facility, restaurant, and other businesses line the street. Fiber optic lines have been installed in this section of Gateway Boulevard. After crossing East Grand Avenue, one of the two major access routes to businesses East of 101, Gateway is lined with South San Francisco's premier hotels and office buildings. This area is mischaracterized as "industrial" in the DEIR. The statement to that effect on page D.2-50 is simply incorrect. Given the past land uses in this area, it is virtually certain that contamination by toxic materials exists under the street. Construction will require characterization of these toxics and use remediation measures of unknown complexity. Again, the DEIR has not adequately considered how this contamination will be addressed during construction. Fiber optic cables also underlie the street. This same segment of Gateway Boulevard also contains an existing, 300 position child care center at 850 Gateway Boulevard. In addition, the City of South San Francisco has just broken ground on a new, 100 position child care center at 559 Gateway, which will construction areas, the construction can take place with minimal disturbance to traffic, few residences are near the construction areas, and there is no reason to expect serious toxic contamination issues along the route. City officials were surprised when the DEIR was issued with a new, inadequately analyzed, "Environmentally Superior Alternative" which traverses private properties, City streets, areas of unstable soils, areas known to be subject to flooding, and areas of known toxic contamination. The construction impacts would significantly disrupt surface traffic, create major nuisances in the City's premier hotel and office areas, breach capped toxic sites, generate potential exposure of sensitive receptors to toxics, and generally be far more disruptive in practical and environmental terms than the primary route in the project description. The authors of the DEIR seem to assume that merely because the "Environmentally Superior Alternative" is the shorter route that the environmental impacts will be less as compared to the Proposed Project (see for example the statement to that effect on page D.2-50.) As will be shown, dispassionate analysis clearly shows that the putative "Environmentally Superior Alternative" actually generates far more environmental impacts than the project description. Specific comments: The City of South San Francisco believes that the designation of the "Environmentally Superior Alternative" is inappropriate and not supported by the facts. The proposed rome creates many avoidable impacts not created by the project description. Among them are the following: Soils along Shaw Road are of poor quality and variable conditions. This area is underlain by bay mud and is slowly subsiding. The line would also parallel the Seventh Avenue sewer line, seriously complicating construction issues. Obviously, businesses on the street would be disrupted by the construction. Near the bend in Shaw Road, where it tums west toward San Mateo Avenue, the route would have to cross two sewer force mains. The area is also susceptible to seasonal flooding. Leaving Shaw Road, the rome enters private property and then must pass under a navigable slough. The bore pit required will seriously disrupt, if not close, the business on the property. The proximity of the property to Highway 101 limits available space for a bore pit. Either the business or Shaw Road likely will need to be closed for an unknown period of time. The required bore pit north of the navigable slough will also be on private property, but this area is a large commercial parking lot. Proper planning would minimize disruption here. This is the only part of the rome which appears relatively simple to implement. At the north end of the property containing the commercial parking lot, the route must pass through either a commercial card-lock fueling facility or move onto the southbound Freeway 101 on-ramp which carries some 16,000 vehicles per day. Contamination issues be in operation by the time the Jefferson-Martin project begins construction. Child care facilities, of course, house our society's most sensitive receptors. Major mitigation and protective measures will be required to protect these sensitive receptors from exposure to toxics that will be disturbed if this route is constructed. The DEIR does not acknowledge the existence of these sensitive receptors or identify any mitigation measures (if any exist) that will address the impacts on these adjacent child care centers. Gateway Boulevard stubs into Oyster Point Boulevard at the new terminus of a new, nearly completed flyover off-ramp from southbound Freeway 101 to eastbound Oyster Point Boulevard. This intersection carries some 20,000 vehicles per day, a number which may well increase when the flyover is completed. Once across Oyster Point Boulevard, the route enters the area known as Bay West Cove. The proposed route turns west toward Freeway 101 after crossing Oyster Point Boulevard. This area is a classic brownfield, with significant known toxic contamination which has been concentrated and capped. The proposed route will traverse some of the most toxic areas in the City, breaching the cap and excavating with known contaminated areas in the process. Yet again, the DEIR does not adequately address how this contamination will be addressed during construction. The section of Bay West Cove proposed to be traversed by the proposed route is currently undeveloped, but approvals have been granted to construct office and biotech buildings and a 350 room hotel. Construction of these facilities can begin any time the owners feel that conditions warrant. The approvals granted for the Bay West Cove properties are for buildings which minimize disturbance of the cap and the known contamination. This area is generally upwind of the 300 position child care facility at 850 Gateway Boulevard, which, as already noted, contains extremely sensitive receptors. However, the sensitive receptors are not the only receptors; indeed, brownfield remediation is generally conducted with the idea that the toxics, once capped, will remain undisturbed in place. Breaching of the cap may require its restoration to more stringent, contemporary standards. The DEIR does not acknowledge this significant challenge. Still in the Bay West Cove area, the route tums north near the railroad tracks (still in the contaminated soils) and continues along in front of two new hotels. Aside from the toxics issues, there is little room to maneuver. Maintaining access for patrons and for emergency vehicles will be a significant problem, as will protection of hotel patrons from toxics. The DEIR does not discuss how impacts on these adjacent visitor-serving uses will be mitigated. Past the hotels, going north, San Francisco Bay is located almost at the railroad right-of- way. The route in this area is within the jurisdiction of the Bay Conservation and Development Commission, and may have potential to disturb shellmounds and affect threatened or endangered species. Continuing north, the route moves into the Sierra Point office park area, which is an old landfill. Excavation in this area will require evaluation of the excavated materials and restoration of the landfill cap and proper protection of office workers fi.om potential toxics. From this area, the route passes out of the jurisdiction of South San Francisco. Regardless of the route selected, any construction must be handled in a manner that preserves the ability of emergency vehicles to respond as necessary to emergency conditions. It is quite clear that maintaining this ability without adverse impacts will be far easier with the project description route rather than the "Environmentally Superior Alternative" route. The route defined in the project description clearly would generate far fewer impacts on the City of South San Francisco. A detailed and objective analysis of the problems created by construction of the "Environmentally Superior Alternative" must lead to the conclusion that the project as originally defined will be far less disruptive to businesses and residents attempting to access employment areas east of 101 and will not generate the host of toxics problems and potential exposure of sensitive receptors sure to arise with the "Environmentally Superior Alternative." All in all, we submit that the "Environmentally Superior Alternative" is in fact no such thing and should be removed fi.om further consideration. Further, the statement on Page ES-29 that the Modifies Existing 230 kV Alternative "will result in similar construction-related impacts to those identified for the Proposed Project and will result in an overall reduced degree of disturbance" must be removed as simply not reflecting the reality of the significant impacts that would result from construction along this route. In fact the DEIR acknowledges as much on page D. 10-17 when it states that this alternative would only "somewhat decrease the number of residences and schools that would be near the work." Route Modification Proposed by DEIR preparers: The City received on August 27, 2003 a letter to Mr. Wesley Snow which in part suggests a modification to the route of the "Environmentally Sensitive Alternative." This route would cross under Highway 101 and the Colma Creek tributary in a single bore. The western terminus of the bore would be just north of Shaw Road in the parking lot of the business that backs up to the Colma Creek tributary. The eastern terminus of the bore would be in the vicinity of the cul-de- sac of Marco Way, off South Airport Boulevard. This option would relieve some of the issues involved with closure of the Produce Avenue on- ramp and disruption of the Golden Gate Produce Terminal. Businesses along Marco Way and South Airport Boulevard would be affected. The route passes near two gasoline stations. The same flood issues pertain as on the west side of Highway 101. Marco Way and the much of the South Airport Boulevard section of the proposed modified route are within the Flood Insurance Rate Map "Zone B." Further, in addition to the usual underground utilities, there is a large, high pressure gas main under South Airport Boulevard. Proposal for an alternative that actually is Environmentally Superior: Within South San Francisco, the intuitively and rationally obvious route to pursue is along the railroad tracks. Such a route is short, direct, generally away from residences, and devoid of the serious issues generated by the "Environmentally Sensitive Alternative" and indeed, by the project as generally proposed. The DEIR is devoid of any discussion regarding this feasible alternative route. The railroad right-of-way should be carefully investigated as a possibility that minimizes environmental impacts of the project. Thank you for the opportunity to comment. Sincerely, Pedro Gonzalez Mayor August 26, 2003 Page 2 of 3 the Caltrans fence. South/entrance pit: immediately west of Produce Avenue in the eastern part of the Shell Statiott lot, just south o.f the creel'). Because of the constraints along Produce Avenue and the potential difficulo, in siting bore pits, as an option, we are suggesting a modification of the alternative route at this location, as illustrated on map Sheets 4, 5 attd 6. A single bore is recommended to cross beneath both Highway 101 and the Cohna Ct'eek Tributary, utilizing existing adequate space on both sides of the freeway for bore pits. The route wouM then be installed for an additional 0.6 miles on the east side of Highway 101: in Marco Way, at~d Aitport Boulevard between Marco Way and the previously-identified freeway undercrossing. This route modification wouM completely avoid the Park W'Fly lot and the Produce Terminal. "The route would travel along Gateway Boulevard for approximately 1.1 miles, cross Oyster Point Boulevard, and enter a vacant pamel. From this point, the underground alternative route would follow the eastern edge of the UPRR for approximately 1.0 mile into the City of Brisbane to Sierra Point Parkway." [C.4.3.3] This description implies the line would be located on the east side of the JPB ROW following it to Sierra Point Parkway. PG&E needs to clarify the location near the pedestrian bridge and fire access that is built over the concrete drainage culvert. DR//5 indicated boring across this section. A hotel near Sierra Point Parkway is almost adjacent to the ROW; the area betWeen the ROW and hotel is a sloped landscaped bank. DR#5 suggested the line turning east towards Shoreline Court and then to Sierra Point Parkway. Response: See map Sheets 10, 11, and 12. It is unclear whether it would be possible to install the transmission line by trenching within the CSSF fire road (immediately west of the pedestrian bridge) due to the presence of drainage pipes below the road. If trenched, the transmission line may be close to the drainage pipes that are below the road. A bored crossing qf this area may be required: there is adequate space in parking lots both north and south of the fire road for bore pits. Regarding the hotel near Sierra Point Parkway, there are several possibilities jbr routing in this area: ia) install the transmission line in the landscaped area immediately east of the railroad ROW, (b) install the transmission line within the hotel access road/parking lot just east of the landscaped area (possibly working on weekends to minimize construction impacts to tire hotel), or (c) as suggested by PG&E, tumt east lowara3' o]tot'elttteL.oitii ................tlltt~titbit l[OtTh to ot°zettu Point Pa"'tn,my, ...... using ?tttt~tlt,.~ tttta that are fitrther from occupied buiMings. These options are illustrated on Sheets 10, 11, and 12. "From that point, the route would cross below Highway 101, then leave Sierra Point Parkway and with a bored crossing, traverse under the railroad tracks into Van Waters and Rogers Road (private) for 0.2 miles before joining Bayshore Boulevard." [C.4.3.3] Mileage indicates the line would transition onto Bayshore Boulevard up a steep embankment. Response: As shown on Sheets 12 and 13, there is no transition up a steep embankment required. 'drier crossing below Highway 101 (within the roadway of Sierra Point Parl, q4,~:), the route wouM tltrll ~o~:thn,est, boring under the railroad and into the south end of Van Waters and Rogers Road. The rottte alo~tg this segment could be either west or east of the warehouse buildings along Van Waters and Rodgers road, as illustrated on Sheets 12 and 13.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION To date the City has finalized its meet and confer process with all the affected bargaining units, reaching agreement on contract extensions and concessions to pay partial costs of the benefit. The City is now in the final stages of amending its PERS contract. The fn'st part of the contract amendment was brought to Council for approval at the meeting of July 23, 2003. Employee voting on the amendment change was finalized on August 11, 2003 with the following result: 294 employees were eligible to vote, 258 voted, and the actual tally was 257 yes with 1 no. PERS has very specific requirements on the amendment process. They require that the City have employees vote to accept the change, which has been done. They also require that the City publish the costs of any amendment change- this is the normal cost- which the City did at the July 23, 2003 Council meeting. 7/23/03 8/7 to 8/11/03 9/10/03 Adoption of Resolution of Intention.
