c. ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE
THE MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING WITH CALTRANS TO IMPLEMENT THE
SOUTHBOUND LEFT TURN RESTRICTIONS AT THE INTERSECTION OF EL CAMINO
REAL AND FLORIBUNDA AVENUE; AND INITIATING A COMMUNITY
STAKEHOLDERS' PROCESS TO EXPLORE AND DEVELOP RECOMMENDATIONS TO
ADDRESS ISSUES RELATED TO THE EL CAMINO REAL CORRIDOR
DPW Murtuza requested Council adopt Resolution Number 16-2016.
DPW Murtuza reviewed the staff report explaining that for the past few years Caltrans worked on a Draft
Environmental Impact Report ("DEIR") that proposed a remodeling of the El Camino Real and Floribunda
Avenue intersection that would require the removal of 14 trees. DPW Murtuza explained that as part of the
City's formal comments in response to Caltrans' DEIR, the City requested that Caltrans consider two less -
invasive alternate options as possible ways to mitigate the safety concerns at the intersection. Those
measures included split phasing the traffic signal and restricting southbound left -turns from El Camino Real
to Floribunda Avenue.
DPW Murtuza stated that after several meetings, Caltrans agreed to a pilot project that would restrict
southbound left turns for 36 months at the El Camino Real and Floribunda Avenue intersection. As a result,
staff is asking Council to approve the memorandum of understanding between Caltrans and City to
implement the pilot project. Mr. Murtuza explained that the proposed memorandum of understanding
includes the following key elements: (1) Caltrans will install "No Left Turn" signage for southbound traffic;
(2) the City and Caltrans will collect and analyze data to determine the success of the project; (3) Caltrans
will not finalize the Draft EIR; (4) the City will establish and develop a stakeholders' process; and (5) the
stakeholder process would contemplate a collaborative exploration of the effectiveness of the project. Mr.
Murtuza explained that if Council approves the memorandum of understanding staff will hire a consultant to
lead the stakeholder process.
Councilmember Brownrigg thanked Mr. Murtuza for his efforts and thanked the Council's steadfastness in
looking at less invasive ways to ensure the safety of the El Camino Real and Floribunda Avenue intersection.
Councilmember Brownrigg asked why the memorandum of understanding did not include the current
accident rate for the intersection. He explained that in his opinion the current accident rate should be
included to act as a benchmark for the success of the pilot project. DPW Murtuza explained that pursuant to
the memorandum of understanding, the accident rate they will be looking at is what is in the DEIR (April 1,
2009 through March 31, 2012). He explained that the reason for this is that Caltrans will determine the
success of the pilot project based on whether or not there is a general improvement from what was recorded
in the DEIR.

Agenda Item Ba
Meeting Date: 3/21/16
Christopher Blunk, Caltrans representative, noted that Caltrans is continuing with the environmental process
for the Floribunda Avenue Left Turn project. However, in response to the comments they received from the
public and the City, Caltrans is exercising its right to further study the intersection. Therefore, when
Caltrans reviews the traffic data used to see if the pilot study worked Caltrans will use the data from the
DEIR.
Mayor Keighran opened the item up for public comment.
Burlingame resident Jennifer Pfaff thanked staff, the Council and Caltrans for their work in adopting this
pilot project.
Burlingame resident Gavin Duncan asked that as the evaluation criteria for the pilot project is adopted that
the stakeholders look at what the no left turn would do to navigation systems as well as traffic volume on
side streets.
Burlingame resident Jeff Londer suggested a robust data collection be done before the new project starts so
that true benchmarks are created. As well, he suggested that the number of stakeholders involved was too
large and that a member of the traffic, safety and parking commission should be invited to join this
committee.
Mayor Keighran closed public comment.
Mayor Keighran asked what staff's request for $100,000 for the project would cover. DPW Murtuza stated
that they would need to hire a consultant to facilitate stakeholder meetings. He explained that the
stakeholder meetings will identify and explore the issues, alternative solutions and provide recommendations
to Caltrans and the Council.
Mayor Keighran asked when the makeup of the stakeholder's committee would be determined. City
Manager Goldman stated that the number of stakeholders isn't set in stone but that Caltrans requested certain
groups such as C/CAG and Hillsborough be represented. City Manager Goldman stated that they would.
identify a list of stakeholders in the coming weeks. Mayor Keighran responded that she liked Jeff Londer's
idea that the Traffic, Safety and Parking Commission would have a member in the stakeholder's group.
Councilmember Brownrigg stated that for the record the issue on El Camino Real is not just this particular
intersection but rather the stakeholder group needed to look at how to improve the safety of El Camino Real
from stem to stern. He stated that this is why the pilot project, stakeholder group and meetings with Caltrans
turned into a longer process.
Vice Mayor Ortiz and Councilmember Beach thanked the staff and the Caltrans representative for their work
and efforts.
Councilmember Brownrigg made a motion to approve Resolution Number 16-2016; seconded by
Councilmember Beach. The motion passed unanimously by voice vote, 5-0.

Subject: Adoption of a Resolution Rejecting All Bids Received for the Miscellaneous
Reservoir and Pump Station Improvements Project, City Project 84200, and
Authorizing Staff to Re -Advertise the Project
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution rejecting all bids received
for the Miscellaneous Reservoir and Pump Station Improvements Project and authorize staff to
re -advertise the project.
BACKGROUND
The Miscellaneous Reservoir and Pump Station Improvements Project consists of improvements
at the Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) and Hillside Reservoir. At the WWTP a new wash
station will be constructed to provide a safe and dedicated location to clean the City's vacuum
trucks/street sweepers. At the Hiliside Reservoir, a new pump station control house will be built
and soil removed from the top of the reservoir to provide coating. See attached map for project
locations.
DISCUSSION
The engineering design was successfully completed, and the project was advertised for bids on
February 9, 2016. The project bids were opened on March 1. 2016. Two bids proposals were
received, one for $656,025, and one for $1,352,334. In reviewing the bid documents, it was
discovered that the lowest apparent bidder did not meet the experience qualification
requirements. Additionally, the second bidder had technical discrepancies and clerical errors in its
bid schedule. Staff will evaluate the project specifications, re-engineer the project plans, and re -
advertise the project to attract more competition from qualified contractors.
FISCAL IMPACT
None.

STAFF REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
Date: March 21, 2416
From: Lisa K. Goldman, City Manager— (650) 558-7243
AGENDA No: 10b
MEETING DATE: March 21, 2016
Subject: Confirmation of Projects to Include in Poll for Potential Tax Measure
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council discuss and agree to a list of projects to include in a poll
regarding a potential tax measure.
BACKGROUND
On February 29, 2016, the City Council held a study session to discuss placing a tax measure on
a future ballot. During the study session, the City Council received a presentation from the City's
Financial Advisor regarding potential tax mechanisms, including general obligation bonds, sales
taxes, parcel taxes, utility users taxes, and Community Facilities District bonds. The Council also
discussed a number of projects for potential inclusion in a future tax measure, and the timing for a
future ballot measure. General taxes, such as a sales tax or utility users tax, can only be placed
on a ballot when one or more Council seats is on the ballot, while special taxes, such as a
general obligation bond, can go on any ballot.
DISCUSSION
After a lengthy discussion about which projects to include in the poll, staff recommended that the
Council receive a list the potential projects discussed at the meeting and rank them so that a final
list of projects can be included in a future poll. (This is similar to the process used during the
unfunded needs discussion in late 2014.) The Council was asked to rank the following projects,
which are presented in order of estimated cost:
Burlingame Community Center
$37-47M
Bayfront Trail Long Option
$9-11 M
Railroad Quiet Zones
$7-8M
New Bayview Park
$5.6M
Synthetic Turf at Bayside
$4M
Railroad Automated (Wayside) Horns
$3-3.5M
Bayfront Trail Short Option
$3-3.5M
North-South Bicycle Improvements
$2M
Synthetic Turf at Murray Field
$1.4M

Potential Tax Measure Projects March 21, 2016
The fist given to the Council (attached) also included blank spaces in case Councilmembers
wanted to add any additional potential projects.
The following table shows the individual results, followed by the overall ranking of each project
(derived by taking the average of all the scores). A ranking of one represents the highest priority
project for that Councilmember.

Murray Field
Councilmember Beach also included Mills Canyon on her list and ranked it #6 in priority. No other
Councilmembers submitted additional projects.
Councilmember Brownrigg noted on his form that he hoped the City would continue to look for
ways to use creative financing, such as public/private partnerships or philanthropy, to pay for any
or all of these projects.
As can be seen above, the Burlingame Community Center was ranked as the highest priority,
followed by synthetic turf at Murray Field, synthetic turf at Bayside, North-South bicycle
improvements, improvements to the full Bayfront Trail, and the new Bayview Park.
Subject to City Council confirmation of this priority order, staff will work with the professional
polling company to develop a survey that tests as many of these projects as feasible given the
need to keep the number of questions manageable. At a minimum, it is likely that the poll can
combine the two synthetic turf projects into one question, with both locations mentioned.

PROJECT EST. COST
RANKING
BurlinL,ame Community Center $37-47M
The Recreation Center is 65 years old, lacks adequate program facilities, is structurally
deficient, and is in need of replacement. The project would include a new community
center, playground and sports court, park amenities and associated parking.
Bayfront Trail Long Option $9-11M
This project would address gaps in the Bayfront Trail by fixing approximately .8 miles
along the length of the trail in Burlingame.
Railroad Quiet Zone $7-8M
Burlingame has six at -grade vehicle crossings, one pedestrian crossing, and two train
stations. The establishment of Quiet Zones necessitates the installation of various
safety measures such as four -quadrant gates, medians or other traffic separators,
and/or permanent street closures
New Balrview Park $5.6M
The City would like to build a new park along the Bay on Airport Blvd. The park, which
would be built on land owned by the State Lands Commission, would provide much-
needed picnic areas, restrooms, and sports fields, and it will fill in a missing gap in the
Bay Trail.
Synthetic Turf at Bayside $4m
This project involves the installation of synthetic turf at Bayside on fields 3, 4, and 5.
Railroad Automated (Wayside) Horns $3-3.5M
Wayside horns are mounted on poles at the crossing and emit a louder, longer, and
more consistent audible alarm than the conventional train horn when the train is
mile from the crossing. Wayside Horns typically provide a minimum of 25 to 30
seconds of audible warning. The horns stop sounding when the train reaches the
crossing.
Bayfront Trail Short Option $3-3.5M
This project would address gaps north of Broadway.
North-South Bicycle Improvements $2M
This project is undefined at this time; $2 million was suggested at the February study
session.
Synthetic Turf at Murray Field $1.4M
This project involves the installation of synthetic turf at Murray Field.

Vl. Unfinished Business
A. Strategic Plan
1. Brad advised the Trustees that it is their responsibility to make a recommendation for
the candidate they feel is best suited to serve as the strategic plan facilitator. There does
not need to be an official vote. The final decision will be made by the City Librarian.
President Nagler requested that each trustee and staff member present note specific
qualifications that they feel a facilitator needs to have. Responses to this request follow.
• Able to work with staff, patrons, Library Trustees, and Foundation members.
• Keep the planning process to 6-7 months. Strive for not more than a 5 page report.
• Spark new ideas that staff has not considered before. -
• Awareness of staff personalities and recognition of the different ways staff will
express themselves.
• Acknowledge that currently our library has many procedures/processes that are
working. Have a knowledge of best practices.
• Key factor is for facilitator to be able to move process along.
• Facilitator needs to be a good listener.
• Not necessary for facilitator to know all staff members.
• Have past experience in formulating a strategic plan.
• Drive group to attainable goals.
• Gather information needed for plan before actually beginning the process.
• Provide information on members of the population outside the walls of the library
i.e. those people who do not use the library.
• Develop a plan that the current staff can execute and one that staff can reasonably
handle so that in future years, the plan does not end up on the shelf.
2. Candidate Jane Light - after the discussion regarding qualifications of the facilitator, the
consensus of the Trustees and managers was that Jane Light would be the best candidate.
Jane's background is more library centric. Trustee Murray suggested that the Trustees,
Brad and managers meet with Jane and have her provide a homework list for the project.
3. Due Diligence - Trustee Donaldson requested that Brad initiate the "due diligence"
process for Jane Light by obtaining references from her on her past experiences as a
strategic planner. Also, obtain input from Jane Light as to what went well and what could
have been better executed in her past strategic plans. Brad noted that he would contact
Monique Ziesenhenne , Director of the Palo Alto City Library.
B. Possible Removal of Children's and Teen Fines
The Trustees reviewed the information prepared by the Youth Overdue Fines Ad Hoc
Committee for the PLS Administrative Council. The committee has recommended that effective
July 1, 2016, all PLS libraries eliminate overdue fines on youth library cards. Brad noted that
most likely PLS is going to move forward with this new procedure. PLS is a more- effective
entity if all the libraries in it work together and follow the same procedures. The Trustees
moved to approve the proposal presented by the Youth Overdue Fines Ad Hoc Committee to
eliminate children's and teen fines. M/S/C {Murray/Mosenthal}
C. Librarian Scholarship
1. Equitable Grant -Brad is going to present a scenario entitled "Equitable Grant" to staff
members who have recently received their MLS and those who are still attending library
school. The purpose is to obtain their feedback on the possible terms and conditions that a
candidate would have to meet in order to receive the grant. The Trustees wanted the
condition of maintaining a B+ average to be eliminated. The Trustees discussed this matter
and were leaning towards a B average. The matter of distributing the funds to the
recipients was also discussed.
• Spring and Fall Semester - twice a calendar year
• Additional short essay on current Library topic or issue
• Employed a minimum one year with Burlingame Public Library
• Must be enrolled in class before funds distributed
2. Financing Issues -Brad met with Kathleen Kane, City Attorney, to explore options on
the best way to process payment to scholarship recipients The Silicon Valley Community
Foundation can only issue grants to a 5010(3) entity not to an individual. Brad is working
with Patty Anixter of the Foundation to find other possible ways to implement the payment
process.
D. Patron Behavior
Warning letters have been given to Mr. Churchill and Mr. Cotchett.
E. Passport Entry Update
• The City Human Resource Department is preparing a job description for the
passport position.
The position will be for 2-3 hours 3 times a week. Library service will not be
included in the job description. Background check is also not part of the job
description.
The state department has the required 2 hour test on line.
Study Room A will be the passport office 3 times a week.
VIII. Analytics on Demand Databas.
The Analytics on Demand Database is a marketing action summary report that can be used to
identify specific groups of people within a library service area that may be good candidates to
market the library's content and services. This could be a tool to assist us in our strategic
plan. Brad is hopeful that our library will be used as the training center for this program.
IX. Adjournment
The meeting was adjourned at 7:20PM. MSC (Murray/Rosenthal) The next meeting of the
Library Board of Trustees will be held March 15, 2016 in the Library Conference Room.
