REVIEW AIID RENEWAL OF AMUSEMENT PERMIT F'OR FANNY & ALEXANDER,
1108 BURLINGAME AVENUE AND 303.305 CALIFORNIA DRIVE
RECOMMENDATION:
Review existing amusement permit of Fanny & Alexander and renew the permit for six (6) months.
DISCUSSION:
Fanny & Alexander has been open about ayear and a half. The establishment expanded into the California
Drive location last fall. This block of Burlingame Avenue is a growing focus for entertainment.
During the past 6 months, the establishment has experienced a number of fights and disputes; however, the
establishment continues to work with the Police Department to improve security and more quickly call for
Police assistance. Auached to this staff report is a letter from Fanny & Alexander detailing their efforts and
policies. The Police Department is confident that Fanny & Alexander is making a strong effort to provide a safe
and responsible entertainment venue.
The conditions that apply to the establishment are attached for reference. The establishment has begun exacting
a cover charge at the door. Therefore, this has been recognized in the proposed amusement permit conditions.
A specific reference to the Sign Code has also been added.
Fanny & Alexander is also concerned about the use of the doorway onto California Drive, and they will be
working with the Planning Department on that issue.

Mr. Larry Anderson
City Attorney
The City of Burlingame
501 Primrose Road
Burlingame, CA 94010
Dear Mr. Anderson,
Please consider this letter a response to your correspondence dated January I l,
2002, relating to the proposed renewal of the entertainment permit for Fanny &
Alexander at 1108 Burlingame Avenue.
Fanny & Alexander hereby requests that the city council renew our
entertainment permit in accordance with all of the existing terms outlined in our
conditional use permit, in addition to the following additions and clarifications.
We are requesting that Fanny & Alexander:
*Be allowed to charge an entrance fee on nights when entertainment is offered,
(this was not an issue until raised by a rival promoter, and, had we known this was in fact
a concern' we would have addressed this when we originally applied for an entertainment
permit from the City Council in early 2000.)*And we are requesting use of the doorway at 303/305 California Drive during
the daytime (before 5pm) so we may facilitate our deliveries and reduce the amount of
time delivery drivers use the freight zone on California Drive.
*Furthermore, we are requesting use of the driveway exit at California Drive for
exiting problematic patrons who need to be separated from another party to prevent
altercations. This suggestion was posed to Sergeant Shepley of the b*iingu-e police
Department and was met with a favorable response.
Fanny & Alexander has recently changed some of our operational policies and
procedures in order to insure public safety and a better line of communicaiion with the
Police Department; Please consider the following:

We will continue to monitor and "police" our guests and obey all rules and
regulations, however, we cannot assume this responsibility for the pioperty adjacent to
ours. Clearly, this situation should be addressed, and we request ttrat ttris |usiness be
subject to the same rules and regulations (specifically relating to cleanliness of
Burlingame Avenue, noise level and alcohol laws relating to open containers outside of a
dwelling) as Fanny & Alexander.
Fanny & Alexander truly enjoys being a part of the Burlingame community and istakingall necessary steps to insure that we treat this community *ith r".p""t and dignity.
We will continue to meet all existing conditions relating our amusement permit, and look
forward to continuing serving the mernbers of our community.

All Bands and entertainers performing at Fanny & Alexander have received a
detailed "contract" explaining the local traffic regulations (specifically those relating to
double parking) and additional information relating to conduct within the facility. This
information is given to all new bands and performers prior to their first appearance at
Fanny & Alexander.
We have recently employed a new Director of Security, Jon O'Halloran, (please
refer to attached resume) who is responsible for training and monitoring the security staff
at Fanny & Alexander on entertainment nights. Mr. O'halloran has extensive experience
in this field and has already made significant changes to our security program including
the addition of security staff increased communication between staffand Burlingame
Police Department, and additional training for all staffmembers. Additionally, our staff
has been more frequently requesting "walk-throughs" by the Police Department in order
to promote public safety and a comfortable atmosphere for our guests and staff.
Additionally, Managernent at Fanny & Alexander has increased its
communication with the Burlingame Police Department both during operational hours as
well as during traditional business hours. Having recently met with, Sergeant Shepley,
Management has been made aware of and mitigated some concerns raised by The Police
Department.
We have in fact proposed more regular meetings with the Department in order to
more ef[ectively work with the duty officers as well as administration. In, fact this new
dialog has produced (at our suggestion) a possible regular meeting of local bars and
Police officers to discuss common concerns and possible solutions to them, in addition to
discussion of all laws relating to the sale and service of alcohol. While no date has yet
been set, Sergeant Shepley voiced support of this idea and is fact following up (we would
be happy to host the first meeting).
In recent weeks, we have noticed an unfortunate increase in altercations within
our facility, as well as within a close proximity to our facility. It has come to our attention
that individuals involved with the music and entertainment promotion at Left at
Albuquerque, and formerly at The Paragon have been directly involved with the rise in
altercations (specifically, the one on the evening of December 28,2001). These
individuals have attempted to "poach" our patrons both inside our facility and outside in
our line, resulting in agitated guests and several altercations. (Our door staff has been
instructed to be vigilant in denying entrance to anyone we believe is directly related to
this group of promoters. We already deny entrance to individuals who are intoxicated, or
belligerent, pursuant to ABC and Local guidelines).

A brief history: F&A was established in 1992 as mainly a restaurant, live music was secondary. By
7994,it was clear that the music was an important part of our initial success. We discovered by
maintaining a high quality of food and bands, customers keep coming back. Thus, with our success,
there must be guidelines and rules to follow. In order to keep a good relationship between Fanny &
Alexander and the bands, the following guidelines must be adhered to:
1) Bands must arrive by 9:00 - Why? So, we know you will be here to play
2) Since we serve dinner on our stage, we will try to have it cleared by 9:00, if not, ask the
doorman when you can load in
3) Band members must find their own parking in a city marked parking space. Double parking to
unload is illegal and will not be tolerated by the City of Burlingame and Palo Alto. Please take
into consideration the time it takes to find parking.
4) Do not load equipment on sidewalk
5) Please be courteous to our guests and staffas well as other citizens on the streets when loading
in equipment.
6) Do not use any furniture for speakers, sound boards, etc.: you may request to use a keg for
such equipment
7) Do not use tape on the rugs
8) Be set up and ready to play by 10:00 (If you were unable to unload by 9:00, then we will take
into consideration that you did not have the hour to set up)
9) Breaks.
- ll:00- ll:15
- 12.40 - 12.15
10) Stop playing by 1:10
1t)Band members are not allowed to stand on anything, but the stage and floor while performing.
12) No one, except band members, are allowed on the stage at any time
13) If the music is too loud and an employee tells you to turn it down, do so.
14) 2 drink tickets per person (for band members only) for well drinks or beer at the inside bar.
Drink tickets are available from the front door bouncer.
15) Use trash cans for gum
16) After last set is over, start breaking down equipment. Unloading should be completed around
l:45. Band will then be paid after load out is completed.
If all the procedures have been followed, we all had a successful evening and we thank you.
If one or more procedures have not been met, than Fanny & Alexander will dock you a sum of
money, depending on the severity of the infraction.
For example:
10 minutes not on time: $100
Too Loud: $50
People on stage : $50
These are just examples, the fine might be more or less depending on the situation.
Why does F& A have these guidelines? Consistency and quality for our guests.
Sincerely,
Doni Malaise Jonathan Welch JeffWeinberg

CONSIDERATION OF AMUSEMENT PERMIT FOR HOLA MEXICAN RESTAURANT AT
1448 BURLINGAME AVENUE
SUBJECT:
RECOMMENDATION:
Consider application for amusement permit for Hola Mexican Restaurant at 1448 Burlingame Avenue and if
approved, permit to be subject to renewal in 6 months.
DISCUSSION:
Hola Mexican Restaurant is a restaurant begun in Belmont that is opening for business at 1448 Burlingame
Avenue (formerly Paragon and before that Tavern Grill). The owners would like to have live music and disc
jockey music from 1l a.m. to 11:00 p.m. on Sunday and Monday, and 11 a.m. to 2 a.m., Tuesday through
Saturday.
The Tavern Grill and the Paragon had a number of problems with noise and crowd control, particularly with
regard to the rear entrance. The Police Department recommends that the rear door be only an emergency exit
after food service closes. The restaurant will probably also follow the current fashion of charging a cover
charge for entertainment, so a condition has been added to address this issue.
The other conditions are consistent with other restaurants' offering entertainment on the Avenue, with the
addition of a specific reference to the Sign Code.
If the Council approves the application, staff recommends a 6-month term that would allow review close to the
annual review period for all amusement permits.

ADOPT ORDINAIICE AMENDING SAN MATEO COUNTY TOURISM BUSINESS
IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT TO REMOVE DALY CITY FROM BOUNDARIES OF
DISTRICT
BY
BY
SUBJECT:
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt ordinance to remove Daly City from the boundaries of the San Mateo County Tourism Business
Improvement District and direct the City Clerk to publish a summary of the ordinance no more than 15 days
after adoption.
DISCUSSION:
At the November 19 , 2001 , meeting, the City Council adopted assessments for the 2002 Y ear for the San Mateo
County Tourism Business Improvement District (Resolution No. 129-2001). After hearing from concerned
hotel owners in Daly City, the Council exempted hotels in Daly City from the assessments until such time as the
Council has had an opportunity to hold a public hearing on removal of Daly City from the District.
The Daly City hotel owners explained that there is no tourism or conference/convention business in Daly City
and no interest in attracting it. There has been no interest expressed by the City of Daly City in remaining in the
District. [Last year, the City of Daly City paid the assessments on behalf of the hotels.]
The total hotel room count in Daly City is 183, with an additional 86 rooms scheduled to open in 2002. The
total assessment for Daly City hotels proposed for 2002 was $5,810, or about $700 per hotel ($58 per month).
The total District assessment is $1.7 million encompassing over 14,000 hotel rooms, so the loss of Daly City
will have no effect on the District's ability to deliver services or advocate tourism for the tourist and conference
resources in the County. Reference to Daly City would be removed from District and Convention Bureau
materials, but the Cow Palace would be able to continue with the Convention Bureau as an associate member.

Re: Adoption of Ordinance Removing Daly City from Boundaries of San Mateo County Tourism BID
January 2t!,,2002
Page 2
On January 7,2002, the City Council adopted a Resolution of Intention to consider the removal of Daly City
from the District. An ordinance was also introduced that would make that change, and further reading was
waived at that time. Notice of the public hearing and proposed changes has been mailed to all hotels in Daly
City as required the Streets & Highways Code and to the City of Daly City. The notice has also been published
in a newspaper of general circulation in Daly City. The City has not received any objections.
The City Council should proceed with the public hearing. If there is no protests amounting to more than 50% of
the annual amounts assessed to the hotels in Daly City under the District, then the Council should proceed with
adoption of the proposed ordinance.

suB.IECr: A8680: Authorizing Mayor to Sign Letter in Opposition
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize Mayor to sign letter opposing Assembly Bill680.
BACKGROUIID: Last year, Assemblyman Darrell Steinberg of Sacramento introduced AB 680. The bill is
co-sponsored by the City of Sacramento and Sacramento County. It changes the formula for distributing
future growth of sales ta:r &om situs/point of sale rnethod to a new distribution based on a formula. The
formula is 1/3 situs/point of sale, l/3 population and l/3 based on regional needs, including affordable
housing, social services, infill development and purchase of open space.
On Wednesday, the bill passed the Assembly. Assemblyrrran Lou Papan did not vote; Assemblyman Joe
Simitian voted in favor. The measure passed with the minimum 41 votes, and now goes to the Senate.
There are several concen$ from Burlingame's standpoint:
Reallocation of sales to< growth based on the above formula, would negatively impact Burlingame and
essentially flatten our existing sales ta6 wrth}l3 of all growth redistributed based on the formula.
r While the bill only covers the Sacramento area at this time, this could easily be amended to become
statewide, a tactic we have witnessed in the past. This is a bad precedent and should be opposed.
' The 'tegional needs" portion of the formula attached strings to what is now a general firnd revenug
and would redistribute sales tax revenue at our expensie.
To restate our preferred approach to local government finance, stafffeels that the State should cez6e shifting
and taking existing city sotrces of revenue and instead cap and return the $1 million State transfer of city
property tax fuirds in the early 1990's known as the Education Revenue Augmentation Fund.

Area tax sharing measure survives

By Jim Sanders -- Bee Capitol Bureau
Published 5:3O a,m, PST Thursday, Jan. 3L 2OAz
By a razor-thin margin, the Assembly approved legislation Wednesday that
would force limited revenue-sharing in the Sacramento region as a means of
discouraging urban sprawl.
Sacramento Democrat Darrell Steinberg's AB 680 attracted the bare-minimum
41 votes needed for passage after intense floor jockeying by Steinberg and
Assembly Democratic leaders broke a temporary impasse.
Recognizing his measure has sparked a six-county war, Steinberg urged his
colleagues to keep the bill alive and buy him more time to continue seeking
consensus among local cities and counties.
"Today'S vote is a big step forward," Steinberg said later. "Now it'S time to take
a deep breath, We have many months before (a final vote) and I'm committed

The Sacramento Bee -- sacbee.com -- Area tax sharing measure survives
to a process that brings everyone to the table."
Thursday's vote was largely along party lines, with Republicans opposed
Among local Assembly members, AB 680 was opposed by Minority Leader Dave
Cox, R-Fair Oaks, and Anthony Pescetti, R-Rancho Cordova. It was supported
by Assemblywoman Helen Thomson, D-Davis. Assemblyman Tim Leslie, R-
Tahoe City, was absent from Wednesday's session.
The bill now goes to the Senate, where it is expected to face heavy opposition
AB 680 is promoted as a way to improve regional cooperation in planning future
growth and improving the quality of life. But critics claim it's a divisive measure
aimed at siphoning money from the suburbs to urban areas,
The measure, if adopted into law, would create a pilot revenue-sharing project
affecti ng Sacramento, El Dorado, Placer, Sutter, Yolo and Yuba counties,
"This is a bill that literally wipes out local control," Cox said. "What it tells city
councils and boards of supervisors is that (the Legislature) can do it better than
you can/ and therefore we ought to impose our will."
Cox said the measure might be unconstitutional unless the affected local
residents vote to approve a sales tax shift.
Steinberg contends current law offers local governments a multimillion-dollar
incentive to compete for big-bucks auto malls or massive shopping centers,
even if such growth would worsen pollution or traffic congestion.
Suburban areas tend to benefit from such competition while urban areas/ which
tend to have less affluence and less available land near major freeways, can be
hurt financially as retailers leave for newly created malls.
Reducing the financial incentive for massive retail growth would allow cities and
counties to plan for growth on the basis of what is most practical for the six-
county region -- not the most profitable for themselves, Steinberg contends.
AB 680 offers a complicated formula for limited revenue sharing
The measure would not affect sales taxes collected now, but would divide any
future sales-tax growth three ways:

The Sacramento Bee -- sacbee.com -- Area tax sharing measure survives
* One-third still would go to the jurisdiction in which it was collected
x Another one-third would be distributed region-wide on a per capita basis.
x The final third would go back to the city or county of origin only if they met a
laundry list of conditions, from providing affordable housing to protecting open
space, Otherwise, the money would go to the Sacramento Area Council of
Governments for use on regional projects.
Amendments made last week, under pressure from Thomson, would establish a
regional development fee to preserve open space.
The last-minute changes also would allow local governments to opt out of the
bill if -- like Yolo County -- they were meeting a variety of "smart growth" goals
that include revenue sharing, preserving open space and providing affordable
housi ng.
Steinberg changed the bill's implementation date from 2003 to 2004. If local
governments adopt an alternative revenue-sharing plan before then, AB 680's
tax-sharing provisions would be nullified.
AB 680 is supported by Sacramento city and county, Citrus Heights and Davis.
It is opposed by the California League of Cities, West Sacramento, Woodland,
Elk Grove, Roseville, Folsom, and Placer and Sutter counties, a staff report said
If current growth trends continue, the unincorporated area of El Dorado County
stands to gain the most from AB 680 -- an extra $889,160 annually within 10
years, according to a recent SACOG report.
Roseville could be hurt most by the proposal, receiving about $1.4 million less
annually in sales-tax revenue within 10 years than it would under the current
system, the report concluded.
City and county budgets have been hurt in years past by property tax reforms
and state budget-cutting plans. AB 680's opponents contend they can't afford to
lose any portion of their sales taxes.
Roseville Assistant City Manager Craig Robinson, representing a coalition
opposing AB 680, said he was not surprised the measure passed the Democrat-
controlled Assem bly.
"It wasn't unexpected," he said. "But we still think we can get our message out

The Sacramento Bee -- sacbee.com -- Area tax sharing measure survives
and, when the day is done, this bill will not be adopted."
Assemblyman Rod Wright, D-Los Angeles, voted in favor of AB 680 on
Wednesday but noted it tends to create financial winners and losers.
"In order for somebody to get something, somebody else has to give something
up," he said. "And the person whose ox is gored isn't going to be a happy
camper."

November 26,2001
Ladies and Gentlemen
We have audited the general purpose financial statements of the City of Burlingame (the City),
for the year ended June 30, 2001, and have issued our report thereon dated October 11, 2001
except forNote 11 which is as of November 6,2001. In planning and performing our audit of
the general purpose financial statements of the City, we considered internal control in order to
determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial
statements. An audit does not include examining the effectiveness of internal control and does
not provide assurance on internal control. We have not considered internal control since the
date ofour report.
During our audit we noted certain matters involving internal control and other operational
matters that are presented for your consideration. These comments and recommendations, all of
which have been discussed with the appropriate members of management, are intended to
improve internal control or result in other operating efficiencies and are summarized as follows:

Impending Change in the Governmental Financiul Reporting Model
After years of study and consideration of the needs of users of government financial statements,
the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) issued its revolutionary new reporting
model in June 1999. The new model dramatically changes the presentation of governments'
external financial statements. In the GASB's view, the objective of the new model is to enhance
the clarity and usefulness of government financial statements to the citizenry, oversight bodies,
investors and creditors. It will substantially affect the City's financial data accumulation and
financial statement presentation processes.. Some of the key aspects of the changes follow:
Management's Discussion and Analysis MDAO - A comprehensive MD&A will now be
included as required supplementary information. The MD&A will introduce the financial
statements by presenting an analysis of the government's financial performance for the year and
its financial position at year-end. The MD&A will be in addition to the transmittal letter
currently required for Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) award candidates,
such as the City, but we expect that the GFOA will make changes to its requirements so as to
minimize any duplication between the two documents.
Government-Wide Reporting - The City will be required to report financial operations and net
assets, not only at the fund perspective for governmental activities, but will also have to prepare
statements at the government-wide level. This level will distinguish between government and
business type activities. All information at the government-wide level will be reported using the
economic resources measurement focus and accrual basis of accounting, as enterprise funds do
under the current model. Fiduciary activities will be excluded from the government-wide level
of reporting. General government fixed assets, including infrastructure, and long-term liabilities
of the government will need to be reported with all other governmental assets and liabilities.
Statement of Activities - Governments will now be required to use a "net program cost" format
for the government-wide statements instead of a traditional operating statement. This new
format groups revenues and expenses by functional categories (such as public safety, public
works, etc.). The purpose of the new statement is to inform readers about the cost of specific
functions and the extent to which they are financed with program revenues or general revenues
of the government. Governments will have the option of reporting both direct and indirect
program costs. Depreciation expense will now generally be reflected as a cost in the statement
of activities.
Capital Assets, including Infrastructure Reportr'rg - Historically, the City has not been required
to record infrastructure assets in its financial statements. Under the new standard, the City must
report infrastructure assets acquired within the last twenty-five years at historical cost. The
standard provides several alternatives for determining historical cost of infrastructure assets.
Rj,ffi
City of Burlingame
Management Letter

Although the standard generally requires depreciation of infrastructure assets, the City may not
be required to depreciate these assets if it can demonstrate that it is preserving its infrastructure
at approximately, or above, a disclosed condition level established by the City. Additionally,
the City will be required to track all capital asset additions, disposals and retirements as well as
depreciation on a timely basis for all funds, in addition to the current tracking carried out for the
Enterprise Funds. This will require that the City implement new procedures and controls to
ensure that this is performed.
Fund Level Reporting - Fund level financial statements will still be required and will provide
information about the City's fund types, including fiduciary funds. General capital assets and
general long-term liabilities will only be reported at the government-wide level. Fund level
reporting will continue to focus on fiscal accountability and reflect the flows and balances of
current financial resources. The modified accrual basis of accounting will continue to be used at
the fund level, except for proprietary and fiduciary funds which would continue reporting based
on economic resources and the accrual method of accounting. A reconciliation between the fund
and the government-wide statements will be required on the face of the fund statements. Finally,
proprietary fund cash flows statements must be presented using the direct method.
Presentation of Budgetary Information - The standard requires budgetary statements for the
general fund and certain other governmental funds as required supplementary information. The
original adopted budget of the City as well as the final revised budget must be presented. Actual
results on a budgetary basis will need to be reconciled to the GAAP basis on the face of the
statements.
The effective date of the new pronouncement will require implementation by the City for its
year ending June 30, 2003, requiring the beginning balances at July 1,2002 be appropriately
accounted for in accordance with the new accounting pronouncement The magnitude of these
changes and the time required to prepare for implementation should not be underestimated. We
recommend the City look at its systems and processes to ensure the required information will be
available to ensure timely implementation.
Monagemenl's Response
The City concurs with the above comments and has incorporated appropriate procedures into
our 2001-2002 work program.

Policies and Procedures
During the course of our audit it came to our attention that the City should update and formalize
the policies and procedures that cover the Finance department. Over the current year, the
Finance department had extraordinary turnover in personnel at a senior level which required the
City to rely on not only contractors, but its current staff to take on the additional workload
related to those vacant positions
During this time, it became apparent that while controls were still operating, evidence of
performance was difficult to obtain. In addition, cross training of staff positions was
highlighted as a requirement to ensure that all appropriate work was completed timely and
accurately.
Timely review of the policies and procedures manual and annual updating will assist the
department not only in training staff for new positions, but employing staff and contractors. It
will also assist in ensuring performance of controls are evidenced as required.
The Finance department has recently employed a contractor to update the policies and
procedures manual and this work is currently on going. We urge management to continue with
this endeavor and possibly expand it to other City departments. Management is also in the
process of interviewing and hiring personnel for the open Finance positions.
Management Response
The City concurs with these findings and recognized the need for this effort during 2000-2001.
This work will be completed by the next auditing period. A cross-training program is in
progress and will be fully implemented during the first quarter of 2002.

The City has outsourced the management of its day to day information technology operations to
the City of Redwood City. The City also has an IT Advisory Committee which oversees the
assigned Redwood City employees and coordinates changes to IT programs, policies,
procedures and controls. During the course of our audit we noted a number of areas in which
the City should update and formalize policies and procedures in relation to IT operations. These
areas relate specifically to logical access, change management procedures, business continuity
planning and the contract in place with Redwood City.
Formalization of procedures and controls that have been implemented will assist in the
safeguarding of the City's assets and integrity of data.
In addition, physical access to the City's servers should also be reviewed and the business
continuity plan should be appropriately updated to reflect the procedures the City would need to
undertake to recover from a disruption to normal operations.
Finally, the City's business continuity plan should be formally tested on an annual basis and the
results provided to management, such that they can ensure that this plan works in accordance
with their expectations.
Management's response
The Information Technology Advisory Committee is actively involved in developing procedures
and security protocols for the computer system. A reclassified position of
Administrative/Information Services Manager has been assigned the responsibility to develop
procedures for review by the IT Advisory Committee during 2001-2002.

In conjlnction with the procedr:res we performed on the VB Golf marketing expenses, we have
reviewed the presentation and disclosure of the financial statements of VB Golf LLP (\{B Gol0
for the year ended December 31, 2000. We have not considered internal controls at VB Golf in
our review of their financial statements.
During our review, we noted certain matters involving the presentation and disclosure of the
financial statements that are presented for your consideration. These comments and
recommendations, all of which have been discussed with the appropriate members of
management of the City of Br.rlingame (the City) are intended to improve the reporting of
financial information as follows:
Presentation
l- Profit and loss information is as of December and year-to-date. One month's worth
of inforrration is not valuable. Year-to-date vs. year-todate or month to month
comparisons would be more useful.
Z. Categorization of "controllable" and "non-contollable" exPenses is less valuable
than;'operating" and "marketing and a&ninistrative" expenses. If "controllable" and
"non-controllable" are used, definitions would be helpful-
3. Supplemental information such as month to month variance analysis or budget to
actual variance analysis would enable City management to better evaluate the
financial information provided.
4. Supplernental information on the relationship betureen changes in revenue and
mirketing strategies would provide City managernent with the ability to evaluate
marketing efforts as they relate to income
Disclosure
l. Total expenses is not disclosed in the financial statements. An additional subtotal
should be added.
2. Additional footrote disclosures to the financial statements which describe reasons for
accounting adjustments to expense balances would help City management better

underst4d the rationale for the way financial information is categorized and

3. iootnote disclosure on reclassificatiqr of payroll expe le to marketing is not
atlequately explained aad reolassification is made to *food", which seerns
inapprop,riate. me reclassification should be analyzed and firther descrfued'
a. CertainbAances are refleoted as negptive arnounts, which appears inappro,priate (i.e.
cost of goods sold and payroll). These amormts should be investigated or reclassified
to revenrrc if they repres€ot income.
5. 'Comps" expense should be classified as a marketing expense if the balance
represents promotional giveaways.
6. '?ixed services- and "Accessories'' are not adequate expense descriptions aad should
be reworded.
7. -Fixed services" should not be classified as a "controllable" expense. This amount
should be reclassified or descn-bed differently.
8. 'Over/short- balance for the yea is $3,@0 'ovef', which appears inappropriate'
Thus, it appears that the cash regist€r has $3,000 more than could be verified by
receipts. iathis is the case, it should be rcclassified as revenue amd internal controls
should be su,engthened.
9. "Marketing exp€nses', one of the largest a(p€nse amouts, should be firther defrned

RE: Second Response to KPMG Report and City Request from September 9, 2001
Dear Randy,
VB Golf has responded twice to the KPMG report and I think you will find that from the
Marketing side ofthings, that you have dready received the informatioq which is in the
binder that was submitted to KPMG yourself and JimNantell over the past few months.
However, to comply with our conversation" I will make copies ofvarious submiuals and
re-submit. I hope you do not mind the repetitive nature ofthe information included.
Documentation related to promotional events zuch as free lessons and free
balls are not registered in to the Point of Sale System. Whenever a
complimentary lesson is given away, donated or otherwisg it is a non-cash
transaction. Although\ile cannot $ve an exact figure ofthese non-cash
transactions, enclosed is a list of promotional wents and lessons hosted at the
Burlingame GolfCenter. To date, we have internally tracked these non-castr
free transactions zuch as comptimentarylesson donations, and now upon
request, will track them through the Point of Sale System.
A specific designated special events Rangeland value card and its usage for
&ee balls is tracked through the Rangeland software. The City ofBurlingarne
authorizes these errents and the gving away of free range balls. This card is in
the possession ofthe City ofBurlingame. Agairt the City is always notified
and approves free balls prior to events taking place. All other marketing
records to support mark*ing expenses are disclosed in the financial
statements.

Attention: Rahn Becker, Finance Director and Assistant City Manager
June 15,2001
The City of Brnlingame (the City) has outsourced the management of its Golf Canter, including
the driving range, the chipping and putting area, the pro shop and the concession, to VB Golf. It
is our understanding that the City is seeking assistance in evaluating the marketing efforts
performedbyVBGolf sinceNovember l,l999,thedate of theAgreementforOperationofthe
Burlingame Golf Center (the Agreement) between VB Golf and the City of Burlingame.
We have been asked by the Crty to perform the following procedures related to the Golf Center.
KPMG LLP did not perform any procedr:res related to the Golf Center other than those specified
below. Our findings are as noted:
t Obtain and reviqt d copy of the Agreement as it relates to th;e responsibtlities of VB Golf to
provide marketing servicesfor the Golf Center.
KPMG reviewed the Agreement as it relates to the responsibilities of VB Golf to provide
marketing services for the Golf Center.
2 Obtain and review copies of the Golf Centerfinancial statements as of December 31,2000
for general appropriateness in light of the Agreement as it relates to YB Golf providing
marketing services to the Golf Center.
KPMG reviewed copies of the Golf Center financial statements as of December 31, 2000 for
general appropriateness in light of the Agreement as it relates to VB Golf providing
marketing services to the Golf Center.
3 Obtain and evaluate supporting documentation provided by VB Golffor marketing expenses

4 Obtain and evaluate the analysis provided by YB Golf demonstrating the impact of its
marketing eforts on behalf of the Golf Center since the inception of the Agreement
referenced above.
KPMG obtained and evaluated analysis provided by VB Golf demonstrating the impact of its
marketing efforts on behalf of the Golf Center since the inception of the Agreement
referenced above. This analysis included total marketing cost as a percentage of total
revenues generated by the Golf Center as compared to other golf centers in the indushy,
responses to the City's performance reviews, and copies of their marketing plans as
submiuedto the City.
5 Reportfindings and recommendations based on the procedures pedormed above.
Findinss:
r Based upon the review of supporting documentation provided and inquiries of VB Golf
managemant and with the exception of approximately $10,000 in advertising expense
that should be classified as a 2001 expense, the marketing expenses in the financial
stateme,nts of VB Golf for the period ended December 31, 2000 appeared accurate.
However, documentation related to promotional events such as free lessons and free
balls, was sometimes incomplete or unavailable.
r VB Golfs evaluation of the corelation between marketing efforts and Golf Center
revenues was limited to analysis of the ratio of total marketing cost to total revenues of
managed properties. This analysis did not include the rezults of specific marketing
efforts on the Golf Centerreve,llues. Therefore, VB Golf does not appear to be able to
determine which marketing strategies are successful and which are unsuccessful.
r As a percentage of revenues, tlrough December 31, 2000, VB Golf spent more on
marketing for the Golf Center than on other facilities YB Golfmanages. However, tlre
increased expenses did not appear to bring additional revenues to the Golf Center. In
fact, the Golf Center has less revenue than the other facilities managed by \lB Golf for
the period reviewed.
r As a percentage of marketing exp€,lrse, supplies and payroll expe,nses charged to the Golf
Center appeared to be subjective and there is little or no docrmrentation of the rationale
for expenses charged by VB Golf. Upon review, it was noted that VB Golf charged less
supplies and payroll expenses to the Golf Centerthan to other facilities VB Golf
manages.
n;.tE
Page 3
r Per the VB Golf records, revenues increased in the months of March and April 200I,
possibly due to commercial advertisernents, which were aired beginning January 2001.
r VB Golf s primary marketing efforts include:
VB Golf provided Golf Center information to local schools, regional
golfers and golf organizations and the Visitors and Convention
Bureau to promote use of the Golf Center
City anployees are provided incentive to use food/beverage service
offered at the Golf Centerby offering 50% offsales
Youth and adult soccer teams are provided incentive to use the
adjacent sports fields to support the food/beverage service by
offering a "soccer Special," allowing up to a $3 savings per meal
r VB Golf does not respond to the City's requests in a timely manner. Furthermore, based
on review of the marketing plans submitted by VB Golf and VB Golfs response to the
performance reviews from the City, there appears to be a lack of communication
between ttre City and VB Golf as to the requests of the City and the responses of VB
Golf management.
r VB Golf management has indicated that revenues may be restricted by the following
Golf Center policies:
Restietions on the number of golf group/individual lessons allowed
at one time
Limitations on facility reservations
rvBG.'f m*"-;":;::il:.'-ii,"::::il:::,:"'::c,edby,he

Obtrusive cement dividers between stalls
Lack of visibility of the Golf Center from thoroughfares and of the

Recommendations
r We recommend the City enforce the Agreement requirement for VB Golf to maintain
adequate records to support marketing expenses as disclosed in their financial
statements.
r We recommend the City require VB Golf to perform quarterly analysis on the corelafion
between marketing efforts and revenues and submit this information to City management
on a timely basis.
r We recommend the City require VB Golf to submit documentation on how marketing
experlses are allocated between the Golf Center and other properties managed by VB
Golf.
r 'We recommend the City require VB Golf to submit to the City suggestions fornew
marketing avenues and theirbenefits (such as TV commercials etc.), before expending
the monies.
r As the Agreement is not specific as to the manner in which marketing efforts are to be
expended, we recorlmend the City evaluate VB Golf s primary marketing efforts and
communicate their adequacy to VB Golf.
r In order to fully evaluate the expenses related to marketing projects and events, we
recommend the City require VB Golf to implernent certain procedures at the Golf Center

r We recommend the City evaluate VB Golfs responses to the proposed solutions above
and take appropriate action in the event that \IB Golf is non-responsive.
We recommend the City evaluate the Golf Center policy reshictions and physical

Honorable Mayor and City Council:
I am pleased to submit the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) of the City of
Burlingame, Califomia (the City) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001. Resporsibility for both
the accuracy of the presented data and the completeness and faimess of the presentation,
including all disclosures, rests with the City. This rcport goes beyond the information found in
the tzditional general purpose financial statements. The information in this report presents the
reader with a comprehensive look at the City's financial position and the results of its operations.
It also contains the disclosrnes necessary to prompt an indepth undersanding of the City's
finances.
Organization
The CAFR is divided into three sections:
Tlne Introductory Sectton consisting of the tansmittal letter, table of contents, directory of
elected and appointed officials and organization charts for the City and Finance Departnent.
Tlne Finoncial Section includes the independent auditors' repor! the general puryose
financial statements, notes to the general purpose financial statements, the combining,
individual fund and individual account goup financial statements and schedules, and
required supplementary information.
o The Statisttcal Section contains both financial and non-financial dataabout the City.
The CAFR is prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP)
as promulgated by the Govemment Accounting Standards Board (GASB). The CAFR includes
the report ofthe City's independent auditors, KPMG LLP.
Reporting Entiqv

the operation of all municipal functions. The City Attomey is appointed by the City Council, and
the voters elect the City Clerk for a for:r-year term.
The City provides a full range of municipal services, including police and fire protection,
constrrction and maintenance of steets and infiastructure, a municipal water system, wastewater
collection and teatnent services, parks, recreation, and library services.
As required by generally accepted accounting principles, these financial statements present the
City govemment and its component units, and entities for which the govemment is considered to
be fiscally interdependent. For financial reporting pulposes, the City's general purpose financial
statements include all firds, account groups, boards and commissions, and authorities that are
contolled by or are dependent on the City Council.
Location and Population
Incorporated in 1908, Burlingame is a Califomia general law City and comprises approximately
six square miles. It is located in cental San Mateo County on the San Francisco Peninsul4
approximately ten miles south of San Francisco and 35 miles north of San Jose. As of January
2001, the City's population, according to the State Departnent of Finance, was an estimated
28,580. Ircated along the southem boundary of San Francisco International Airpo( the City
has ten major hotels (3,571 rooms) serving over 1,000,000 business and pleasure tavelers
annually. Transient occupancytax (hotel ta:r) is the City's largest revenue source.
According to the San Francisco Exnnirrcr, the median price of the average single-family
dwelling gnit in ttre City during 2000-01 was $925,000, well above the county average. Mean
household income, according to a 2000 Association of Bay Area Govemments (ABAG)
estimate is $81,700. The City issues approximately 4,000 brsiness licenses per year, and ABAG
estimates thatthere arc29,300 jobs inthe City.
Economic Condition and Outlook
Economic prospects forthe City and San Mateo County in the coming year are unstable. This is
due to the impact of an apparent economic recession and the aftermath of the tenorist attacks in
New York and Washington D.C. These factors have combined to create heightened uncertainty.
Cutbacks in flights to and from San Francisco htemational Airyort and reduced brsiness tavel
generally have driven Burlingame hotel occupancy rates to historical lows of 50% n the first
four months of the new fiscal year. For the first time since the 1989 Ioma Prieta earthquake, the
City Courcil faces reducing general fund revenue estimates for hotel and sales tar<, and
employing a combination of reserves and rescheduling of capital improvements to maintain a
fiscal balance. The Council's prudent action in Jwre 2001 to tap a portion of general frrnd
revenue growth and set aside during fiscal year 2001-02 almost $14 million in reserves for
economic downtums, contingencies, equipment purchases, and retirement expense has insured
that the Crty can successfully weather this downtum-
Office and industrial space, a major part of the Crty's commercial are4 is experiencing vacancy
rates over 10o4, after operating at less than 1% vacancy rates over the last three years.

However, the City remains a highly desirable residential community, with viable and attactive
community retail areas. A number of national retail outlets are located in the Burlingame
downtown shopping are4 placing the area in a favorable competitive position with regional
shopping malls. A total of 1,694 sales permits were active in Burlingame as of June 2001,
according to the California State Board of Equalization. Sales and use tar is the Crty's second
largest revenue source. Automobile dealers and related supplies accounted for about 39.1% of
total sales tax collections as of June 30,2001,while industial outlets, which include automobile
rentals, account for another 22.2% of sales ta< revenue for the same period. A total of 25 sales
tar producers account for 50% of sales tax collections. The transient occupancy tax is the Crty's
largest revenue soure, and raised S13.8 million in 2000-01. The tansient occupancy tax, sales
tan, property ta< and the tansient occqpancy tax crea.te for the Crty a diverse ta< base that has in
the pastprotected the City agains severe downtums in revenues drxing recessions.
According to the San Francisco Business Times, San Mateo County has one of the more
diversified economies in the San Francisco Bay Are4 with stengths in high technolory,
biotechnology, communications, tansportation, finance and manufacturing. San Francisco
Airport itseHis the number one employment center in the county, with more ttnn 30,000 jobs-
9Yo of the county's employment. The City unemployment rate as of June 30, 2001 was 2.0olo, up
from0.y/o one year ago.
The City's revenue may possibly decline during 2001-2002. Recognizing this uncertainty, the
City Cor:ncil and managernent will continue a consenrative posture toward general fund
expenditures, and attempt to match expendihre with revenue, while continuing infasuucture
and facility construction and renovation progrrrm to the extent possible. In anticipation of
continued economic weakness, the Public Works Departrnent has assembled a plan to defer
almost one third of planned capital expenditr:res from general filrd sources for the next fiscal
year. The City Council will evaluate this proposal and financial conditions generally as part of
the arurual midyear review in January 2002.
Major Initiatives
ConsEuction contacts were awarded for reconstruction of the City's public works
corporation yard as the fiscal year closed. The total project will cost almost $15 million, and
is financed largely with lease revenue bonds.
The City Council established a citizens' committee to review altematives for a community
center and will be reviewing the work ofthis goup during 2001-02.
Design and architectr:ral work has been approved for renovation of the Easton Branch
Library, a 75-yar-old stnrcture. The majority of the $850,000 cost will be from fi.rnds
donated by the community.
Facing the need for major renovation of the water and sewer infzsructure, as well as street
and general facility projects, the City will complete by January 2002 a long+erm financing
plan for these needed improvements.

The City seeks to engage the community in a more active participation in the decision
making process. Duing the coming yer\ a community survey will be conducted to assess
communitypercepion of city progrzxn seruice levels.
Despite being a "built out" city, the Burlingame Planning Deparfrnent will be actively
involved in community planning issues n 2001-02, including adoption of a new housing
element to address local and regional *fair share" housing needs, a two year planning
progiun to develop a Specific Area Plan for the north end of the clty ftat adjoins a new
public tansit terminal, and facilitation of the processing of a major hotel development on
State-owned land inthe east side hoteVoffice development area
As part of the 2002-03 budget preparation process, management will develop an expanded
midyear council review process and will begin development of key performance indicaton
for departnent programs to better focus budget decision making on the relationship between
budget and service level outputs.

at
tar lien date of January l, 2001. Grovrth in total general firnd revenue was $4.04 million. The
revenue increase belies the softening of revenues in the second half of the fiscal year. Beginning
in Febnrary 2001, tansient occupancy ta:< receipts posted decreases for every month through
Jrure, after showing a25o/o gain ttnough the firs six months. Similarly, sales ta:< receipts were
flat on a comparable quarter basis for the qtrarter ending June 30.
The City Courcil continued a policy of setting aside 20%o of the tansient occupancy ta<es for
future pulposes, and transfened S2,763,501 from this source into the Unreserved Designated
general fund balance in fiscal year 2000-2001. This designated frnd balance increased $963,301
to $2,232,737 and fi.urded S1,800200 in capital projects, debt service payments, and the shuttle

bus program serving the hotel and commercial area Overall, firnd balance for the general firrd
increased $4,110,373 or27.2o/oto 519,197,400. This firnd balance increase was much more than
the planned increase of $1.9 million and is due to the continued srong economic growth in
tansient occupancy ta< and sales tar through December 2000.
Expenditures in the general fund increased 4.V/o over fiscal year 1999-2000. A total oftwo new
full-time employees were approvd in the 2000-01 budget-a facility services manager added to
develop and manage a maintenance prograrn for City facilities, and a sfreet and sewer supervisor
to handle new reqponsibilities in public works related to federal mandates. Over $9.3 million
was tansfened from the general fund to the general capital projects fund. Historically, *re
general fund has financed the majority of City general capital Fojects.
Water and Seryer Funds:
Although a Waste
Management Fund and Golf
Center Fund appear in the
Enterprise Fund group, they
will be discrssed separatelyto
simphfy this summary.
Water sales increased 9.4o/o
due to an approved rate
increase and operating
expenses increased 12.5%.
The firnd overall remained in
sound condition with retained eamings of $9.0 million. The sewer enterprise showed a 6.30/o
increase in operating revenue, tied to a rate increase for capital improvements planned during the
next five yea$. Operating expenses phs interest costs increased a total of 13.8%. Retained
eamings were up l6.7oh, due to the revenue increase and recording of completed projects.
Transfento the capital improvementsprogftrm, however, have heavilyimpactedworking capital
for the sewer fund. Financial planning for the coming year will include establishment of
operating reseryes to insure adequate working capital for the fimd. Both the water and sewer
capital improvements progmms will increase in scope overthe next five years due to theneed for
infrastructure improvements. A long{erm financial plan will be prepared and presented to
Council in January 2002. A total of $2,150,000 was tansfened to capital projects from the water
and sewerfunds.
Waste Management Fund: This fund was established to comply with State law covering
sealing of the Crty's landfi.ll. Revenue represents 50% of the Crty's refuse collection franchise
fee, which is set aside in this frurd to cover the arurual cost of post closure maintenance testing.
The firrd carries a liability of $1,969330 as required by strate regulations, representing an

Capital Projects Funds: A total of $11.8 million (before capitalization of enterprise fimd
projects) was expended on 83 general, sewer and water improvement projects. This was a
decrease of 26.5% from fiscal year 1999-2000, and is largely due to completed development of
the landfill into a recreational complex. A corporation yard reconstuction project valued at $ 15
million commenced construction in Jrme 2001. Otlrer major projects during fiscal year 2000-
2001 included street resurfacing, sidewalk repair, and water and sewer system improvements.
Of the $11.8 million in projects accounted for in the capital project firnds, $3.0 million were
capitalized in the waler and sewer enterprise fi:nds.
Special Revenue Funds: The City special revenue funds include state gas tax receipts,
"Measure A" (a voter-approved half-percent add on to the sales tax) receipts, revenue received
from payrnent of moving taffic citations, state and fua-al grana and a local grant for a train-
shuttle bus progzun. By law, use of these funds is restricted to expenditures for steet and
highway maintenance and/or reconstruction, and the specific terms of the grants included in the
category. In fiscal year 2000-2001, a totzl of $324202 was used for sUeet-related puposes.
Combined revenues for these funds totaled $1,8i6,332, an increase of $420200 from fiscal year
1999-20ffi. The fi.md baiances at the end of the year totaled 52,603285, an inqease of 94.U/o

gasoline price increases. These flrnd balances are reserved for planned steet p,rojects, the shuttle
bus program, and other grant progmms.
Financial lnformation
Accounting System and Budgetary Control: All govemmental fimd and fiduciary find types
use the modified accrual basis of accounting. As explained in Note 2 to the general purpose
financial statements, this means that with specified excepions, rcvenues are recorded when
measr.rable and available, rather than when received, and expenditures are recorded when the
liabiiity is incuned, rather than rvhen paid. The proprietary firnds are accounted for using the
accrual basis of accormting.
AII govemmental fund gpes are accounted for on a spending or f.urds flow measurement focus.
Only current assets and curent liabilities are generally included on their balance sheets. Non-
curent amounts are shown in the General Fixed Assets Accormting Group and General Long
Term Obligations Accowrt Group.
Intemal accowrting contols have been developed to provide management reasonable assuzmc€
regarding the safeguarding ofassets and the reliability offinancial records for preparing financial
statements and maintaining asset accountability.
The City armually adopts budgets for the general, and certain special revenue f.mds.
Appropriations for all funds except capital projects lapse at the end of the year. Budgets are
prepared on the same basis of accomting as the associated financial statements.

Independent Auditors' Report
The Honorable Members of City Council
City of Burlingame, California:
We have audited the accompanying general purpose financial statements of the City of Burlingame,
California (he City), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2001, as listed in the table of contents. These
general purpose financial statements are the responsibility of the City's management. Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on these general purpose financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Govemment Auditing Standards
issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the general purpose financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the City of Burlingame, California, as of June 30, 2001, and the results of
its operations and the cash flows of its proprietary fund types for the year then ended, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As described in note 2(d) to the general purpose financial statements, the City adopted the provisions of
Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 33, Accourzting and Finarzcial
Reporting for Nonexchange Transactions.
The schedule of funding progress on page 31 is not a required part of the general purpose financial
statements, but is supplementary information required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board.
and we did not audit and do not express an opinion on such information. We have applied to the schedule
of funding progress certain limited procedures prescribed by professional standards, which consisted
principally of inquiries of management regarding the methods of measurement and presentation of the
schedules.
KPMG LLP KPMG LLB a U.S. limited liabilily paftnership, is
a member of KPMG lnternational, a Swiss association.
wdd
Our audit was conducted for the pulpose of forming an opinion on the general purpose financial statements
taken as a whole. The combining and individual fund and individual account group financial statements
and schedules listed in the table of contents are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a
required part of the general purpose financial statements of the City of Burlingame, California. Such
information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the general purpose
financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the general
purpose financial statements taken as a whole.

CITY OF BURLINGAME, CALIFORNIA
Notes to General Purpose Financial Statements
June 30,2001
(1) Definition of Reporting Entity
The City of Burlingame (the City) was incorporated in 1908 as a California general law city. Burlingame is
a full-service city providing all municipal services, including police, fire, library, parks, recreation, street
and storm drain maintenance, and water and sewage treatment. The accompanying financial statements
present the City and its component units, entities for which the City is considered to be financially
accountable. Blended component units, although legally separate entities. are, in substance, part of the
City's operations and so data from these units are combined with data of the City as the primary
government. For financial reporting purposes, the City's general purpose financial statements include all
funds, account groups, boards and commissions, and authorities that are controlled by or are dependent on
the City's legislative branch, the City Council. Control by or dependence on the City was determined on
the basis of budget adoption, taxing authority, outstanding debt, or the City's obligation to fund any
deficits that may occur.
B urlingame F inancing Authority
In November 1995, the City formed an authority known as the Burlingame Financing Authority
(Authority). The Authority provides services entirely to the City. The purpose of this Authority is to issue
bonds to finance the construction of public capital improvements through the lease of certain land and
existing improvements. The facilities are leased by the Authority to the City pursuant to a lease agreement.
In December 1995, bond proceeds were used by the Authority to pay the costs of reconstructing a library
facility within the City. ln March 1998, bond proceeds were used by the Authority to refinance 1991
wastewater treatment Certificates of Participation and construct a new sewer collection pipeline.
The Authority is comprised of members of the City Council and was formed with the assistance of the
City's Redevelopment Agency. The Redevelopment Agency has been and continues to be inactive. The
City and the Authority have a financial and operational relationship and the financial activities of the
Authority have been included in the general purpose financial statements of the City as a blended
component unit. The Authority's financial activities are presented in the general purpose financial
statements in the Debt Service Fund.
(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The significant accounting policies of the City are described in the following sections:
(a) Basis of Presentation - Fund Accounting
The accounts of the City are maintained on the basis of fund types or account gloups, each of which
is considered to be a separate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for with a
separate set of self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund balances, retained
earnings, revenues, expenditures or expenses, and transfers, as appropriate. Government resources
are allocated to and accounted for in individual funds based upon the purposes for which they are to
be spent and the means by which spending activities are controlled. The various funds and account
groups are summarized by type in the general purpose financial statements. Brief descriptions of the
various fund types and account groups are presented below.

CITY OF BURLINGAME, CALIFORNIA
Notes to General Purpose Financial Statements
June 30.2001
Governmental F und Type s
General Fund: The general operating fund ofthe City accounts for all revenues and expenditures of
the City not encompassed within other funds. All general tax revenues and other receipts that are not
allocated by law or contractual agreement to some other fund are accounted for in this fund.
Special Revenue Funds: Used to account for revenues that are legally restricted as to expenditures
for specific purposes and to account for assets restricted to specific purposes by state and/or federal
requirements.
Debt Service Funds: Used to account for the accumulation of resources for, and the payment of
general long-term debt principal, interest and related costs (other than those paid for by the
Proprietary Funds).
Capital Projects Funds: Created to account for resources used to acquire or develop facilities or
major capital equipment.
Proprietary Fund Types
Proprietary funds are used to account for activities that are financed and operated in a manner similar
to private business enterprises. The measurement focus is upon determination of net income and
capital maintenance. The following are the City's proprietary fund types:
Enterprise Funds: Established to account for water and sewer services provided by the City
that are financed principally by user charges. Also used to account for landfill closure costs
and postclosure monitoring services that will be financed by fees derived from surcharges on
the City's franchise solid waste collection activities. An enterprise fund was also established
for the operation of a golf center opened by the City in March 2000.
Internal Service Fund: Established to account for the servicing of the self-insurance programs
of the other departments or agencies on a cost reimbursement basis.
Fiduciary Fund Type
Agency Funds: Created to account for assets held by the City on behalf of others as their agent
Account Groups
General Fixed Assets: Established to account for fixed assets not used in Proprietary Fund
operations. General fixed assets are those acquired or constructed for general governmental
purposes.
General Long-Term Obligations: Established to account for long-term obligations not accounted for
in Proprietary Funds.

CITY OF BURLINGAME, CALIFORNIA
Notes to General Purpose Financial Statements
June 30,2001
(b) Basis of Accounting
The modified accrual basis of accounting is followed by the governmental funds and fiduciary funds.
Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when susceptible to accrual
(i.e., both measurable and available). Measurable means the amount of the transaction can be
determined. Available means collectible within the current period (within one year) or soon enough
thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current period. Expenditures, other than interest on long-
term obligations, are recorded when incurred. Principal and interest on long-term obligations are
recorded when due or when amounts have been accumulated in the debt service fund for payments to
be made early in the following year. The noncurrent portion of compensated absences is recorded in
the general long-term obligations account group when the liability is incurred.
Licenses and permits, charges for services, fines, forfeitures and penalties, special assessments, and
miscellaneous revenues (except investment earnings) are recorded as revenues when received in cash
because they are generally not measurable until actually received. Investment earnings, property
taxes and transient occupancy taxes are recorded as earned when they are measurable and available.
Sales and use tax revenues collected by the State on behalf of the City are recorded using the
modified accrual method described above.
All governmental fund types are accounted for on a spending or funds flow measurement focus-
Only current assets and current liabilities are generally included on their balance sheets. Resources
not available to finance expenditures or commitments of the current period are recognized as
deferred revenue. Liabilities, which are estimated to be payable within the next yeer, are recorded in
the governmental fund types; remaining amounts are shown in the general long-term obligations
account soup.
The fiduciary funds are custodial in nature and do not present results of operations or have a
measurement focus.
The accrual basis of accounting is utilized by the proprietary fund types whereby revenues are
recognized when earned, and expenses are recognized when they are incurred. For its proprietary
type activities, the City has elected to apply all applicable Governmental Accounting Standards
Board (GASB) pronouncements as well as any applicable pronouncements of the Financial
Accounting Standards Board, the Accounting Principles Board or any Accounting Research
Bulletins issued on or before November30, 1989 unless those pronouncements conflict with or
contradict GASB pronouncements.
(c) Budgetary Practices
The City annually adopts legal budgets for the General and Special Revenue Funds except for the
State Grants and Federal Grants Funds which have no budgets. Appropriations for all funds except
Capital Projects lapse at the end of each fiscal year unless expended. Budgets are prepared on the
same basis of accounting as the associated financial statements to facilitate comparison. The lowest
level of budgetary control by the City is the department level.
14 (Continued)
CITY OF BURLINGAME, CALIFORNIA
Notes to General Purpose Financial Statements
June 30,2001
Budget amendments which increase departmental appropriations must be approved by the City
Council by majority vote. Changes within departments are approved by the City Manager.
Supplemental appropriations were made during the fiscal year and are included in the final budget
amounts presented in the general purpose financial statements.
A budget for the Capital Projects Fund, with budget to actual comparisons, is not presented as part of
the general purpose financial statements because the Capital Projects Fund adopts a project length
budget; therefore, the Capital Projects Fund appropriations do not lapse at the end ofeach fiscal year
and, accordingly, the presentation of such information would not be meaningful.
(d) Implementation of New Accounting Principles
The City adopted the provisions of Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement
No. 33, Accounting and Financial Reponing for Nonexchange Transactians. This statement
establishes accounting and financial reporting standards for nonexchange transactions involving
financial and capital resources such as taxes and grants. ln a nonexchange transaction, a govemment
gives (or receives) value without directly receiving (or giving) equal value in retum. This is different
from an exchange transaction, in which each party receives and gives up essentially equal values.
This statement affects the timing of recognition of nonexchange transactions; that is, when
governments recognize them in the financial statements. There was no material impact in the current
year or implementation. There was no effect on the prior year balances and hence no restated
opening fund balances.
(e) Cash and Investments
Cash of the respective funds is pooled and invested principally in U.S. Treasury and agency
securities, medium-term corporate notes, and short-term investments such as the State of California
Local Agency Investment Fund (LAF) and the San Mateo County Investment Pool. Interest income
from investment of pooled cash is allocated to the funds based on monthly cash balances.
The State LAIF is a pool of State cash and investments and those of California cities and local
agencies. The State's investment policy is consistent with the City's policy, and, although State and
City investments are pooled, the State does not have access to City funds. LAIF is administered by
the State Treasurer, which charges for the service by retaining a percentage of investment earnings,
not to exceed 0.25Va. State regulations permit the City to place up to $30,000,000 in the LAIF, plus
any bond proceeds related to construction of a City facility.
The San Mateo County Investment Pool is managed by an investment advisory committee which is
made up of representatives of those cities and local agencies who invest in the pool. The County's
investment policy is consistent with the City's policy, and although the City's and County's
investments are pooled, the County does not have access to City funds.
For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, the City considers all highly liquid investments with
an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
l5 (Continued)
CITY OF BURLINGAME, CALIFORNIA
Notes to General Purpose Financial Statements
June 30,2001
Investments are presented at fair value except as noted below. The fair value of participants' position
in the investment pools is the same as the value of the investment pools' shares and investment
income includes changes in fair value (i.e., realized and unrealized gains or losses). Money market
funds (such as short-term, highly liquid debt instruments including bankers' acceptances and
securities (notes, bills and bonds) of the U.S. government and its agencies), and participating
interest-earning investment contracts (such as negotiable certificates of deposit, certificates of
deposit, repurchase agreements and medium terrn corporate notes) that have a remaining maturity at
the time of purchase of one year or less, are carried at amortized cost which approximates market
value.
A Inturfund Transfers
Interfund transfers are generally recorded as operating transfers except for the following types of
transactions:
l. Charges for services (Quasi-External), which are recorded as revenues of the performing fund
and expenditures of the requesting fund. Unbilled costs are recognized as unbilled receivables at
the end ofthe fiscal year.
Z. Reimbursements for services performed, which are recorded as a reduction of expenditure in the
performing fund, and an expenditure of the requesting fund.
3. Residual equity transfers, which are nonrecurring or nonroutine transfers of equity between
funds.
@ Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost. Donated fixed assets are
recorded at their estimated fair market value on the date donated.
General - General fixed assets are those acquired for general govemmental purposes. Such assets
currently purchased or constructed are recorded as expenditures in the governmental funds and
capitaliied in the General Fixed Asset Account Group. The General Fixed Asset Account Group
"*ilrdes public domain (infrastructure) fixed assets such as roads, bridges, curbs, gutters, streets.
sidewalks, drainage systems, lighting systems, park facility improvements and the land related to
such areas. Such assets are normally not movable and are of value only to the City. No depreciation
has been provided on general fixed assets.
Enterprise Funds - Fixed assets of the Sewer Fund consist of sewer treatment plant improvements,
pump stations and reservoirs. Depreciation on the sewer treatment plant improvements has been
calculated on the straight-line basis over a period of 25 years. Depreciation on the pump stations has
been calculated on the straight-line basis over a period of 60 years. Depreciation on the reservoirs
has been calculated on the straight-line basis over a period of 100 years.
Fixed assets of the Water Fund consist primarily of a water mains and pump stations. Depreciation
on the water mains and pump stations has been calculated on the straight-line basis over a period of
30 years. Depreciation for all other machinery and equipment is calculated on the straight-line basis
over periods of 5 to 20 years.
16 (Continued)
CITY OF BURLINGAME, CALIFORNIA
Notes to General Purpose Financial Statements
June 30, 2001
Fixed assets of the Golf Center Fund consist primarily of a structure, fencing and artificial turf
playing surface. Depreciation on land improvements has been calculated on a straight-line basis over
a period of 30 years. Depreciation for all the machinery and equipment is calculated on the straight-
line basis over a period of 5 to 20 years.
Depreciation related to contributed fixed assets is charged to the contributed capital accounts for
assets acquired prior to the implementation of GASB Statement No. 33. There were no new
contributed assets in the current year.
(h) Fund Balances and Retained Earnings - Resemes and Designations and Deficits
Reservations of fund balances indicate those portions of fund balance unavailable for appropriation
or amounts legally segregated for a specific future use. Designations indicate tentative plans for
future uses of financial resources. Fund balances may only be appropriated by a majority vote of the
City Council members.
The fund balance of the Debt Service Fund is reserved for the payment of debt service in the
subsequent year.
Reserved fund balances in the Special Revenue Fund are restricted for street repair and maintenance,
shuttle operations and grant expenditures. As of June 30,2001, the Federal Grants Fund, a Special
Revenue fund, had a deficit of $21,640. This deficit relates to a police grant which was overspent in
fiscal year 200G2001. The City expects to receive funding, which will eliminate the current year
deficit. The City does not expect to overspend the police gmnt in fiscal year 2001-2N2.
The reserved fund balance in the Capital Projects Fund is restricted for future construction activity
related to capital projects.
The unreserved-designated fund balance in the General Fund relates to Transient Occupancy Tax
(TOT) revenue that has been designated for future purposes to be determined by the City Council,
payment of debt, and City capital projects.
The retained earnings of the Internal Service Fund have been reserved for payment of future claims
and judgments, including both workers' compensation claims and general liability claims. Such
commitments are not properly accruable, but represent future obligations of retained earnings.
As of June 30, 2001, the Waste Management Fund had a deficit of $1,742,429. The Waste
Management Fund deficit relates to the landfill closure and postclosure liabilities. The City expects
to finance these costs with fees derived from surcharges on the City's franchise solid waste
collection activities (note l0).
(i) CompensatedAbsences
A liability for compensated absences (vacation pay, vested sick leave and related benefits) is
recognized when the right to receive compensation vests and is attributable to services performed.
17 (Continued)
CITY OF BURLINGAME, CALIFORNIA
Notes to General Purpose Financial Statements
June 30,2001
Compensated absences are recorded as an expenditure by governmental fund types in the period
preceding the fiscal year in which it is expected to be paid. The long-term liability for compensated
absences for governmental fund types is accounted for in the General Long-Term Obligations
Account Group. Compensated absences for proprietary fund types are recorded when incurred.
(il Property Taxes
Property taxes are collected for a l2-month period effective July I by the San Mateo County Tax
Collector. Property tax is levied each September I on the assessed values as of the prior January I
for all real property located in the City. Once the levy rates are approved, the actual claim to property
taxes arise and is enforceable. Taxes are billed once a year in late October and are payable in two
equal installments due by December l0 and April 10 (of the following year). Taxes are considered
delinquent if paid after the due dates. The assessed value at January 1,1999, upon which the 2000-
2001 levy was based, was approximately $3.7 billion for both secured and unsecured property.
As a result of the implementation of Article XIII(a) of the California State Constitution in fiscal year
1978-1979, the City does not have the power to levy property taxes or to set property tax rates based
on the financial requirements of the various funds. Instead, the City receives remittances from the
County. These remittances are based either on a flat one percent rate applied to the fiscal year 1975-
1976 full value of the property, or on one percent of the sales price of the property on sales
transactions and construction which occurs after the fiscal year 1975-1976 valuation. Values on
properties (exclusive of increases related to sales transactions and construction) can rise at a
maximum of two percent per year or the amount of increases to the Califomia Consumer Price
Index, whichever is less.
Article XIII(a), Section lB, of the California State Constitution allows property taxes in excess of the
one-percent limit to fund general obligation bond debt service when such bonds are approved by
two-thirds of the local voters.
On October 12, 1993, the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors adopted and implemented the
Alternative Method of Tax Apportionment (Teeter Plan). The Teeter Plan applies to secured taxes
only and provides a consistent predictable cash flow for taxes since they are apportioned to the City
as if the tax levy had been collected in full.
(k) Refunding of Debt
Losses occurring from advance refundings of enterprise debt are deferred and amortized into interest
expense over the remaining life of the old bonds, or the life of the new bonds, whichever is shorter.
(l) Estimates
Preparation of the general purpose financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the
date of the general purpose financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues, expenditures
and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Total columns on the combined financial statements are captioned "memorandum only" to indicate
that they are presented only to facilitate financial analysis. Data in these columns do not present
financial position, results of operations, or cash flows in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. Such data are not comparable to a consolidation since interfund eliminations

As of June 30, 2001, the carrying amount of the City's cash deposits with federally insured
institutions was $3,566,697 and bank balance was $4,723,442. Of the total bank balance, $128,416
was fully covered by federal depository insurance. The remaining amount is collateralized in
accordance with the State of California Government Code (the Code). The Code requires California
banks and savings and loan associations to secure the City's deposits not covered by federal
depository insurance by pledging govemment securities as collateral. The fair value of pledged
securities must equal at least l10Vc of the City's deposits or 150Vo of mortgage backed collateral.
The collateral must be held at the pledging bank's trust department or other bank, acting as the
pledging bank's agent, in the City's name.
(b) Investments
It is the City's intent to hold investments until maturity, unless earlier liquidation would result in an
investment gain.

(6) Employee Retirement Plan
Pension Plan
(a) Plan Descriptton
The City contributes to the California Public Employees Retirement System (PERS), an agent
multiple-employer public employee defined benefit pension plan. PERS provides retirement and
disability benefits, annual cost-of-living adjustments, and death benefits to plan members and
beneficiaries. PERS acts as a common investment and administrative agent for participating public
entities within the State of California. Benefit provisions and all other requirements are established
by state statute and City resolution. Copies of PERS' annual financial report may be obtained from
their Executive Office - 400 P Street, Sacramento, CA 95814.
All employees who work on a permanent part-time basis or more are eligible to participate in PERS.
PERS administers several different retirement plans, each providing a monthly allowance based on
age, years of credited service and highest average compensation over an established period of time of
one year or three years. Vesting occurs after five years. All plans provide death and disability
benefits. The benefit provisions for the State and classified school employees are established by
statute. The benefits for the public agencies are established by contract with PERS in accordance
with the provisions of the Public Employees' Retirement Law.
(b) Employees and Employer Contributian Obligations
Contribution rates necessary to fund benefits for PERS members are set by the PERS actuaries and
actuarial consultants and adopted by the PERS Board of Administration.
Employee contribution obligations for the year ended June 30, 2001, expressed as a percentage of
covered wages, were 7Vo for local miscellaneous members and 9Vo for local safety members.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001, the employer contribution rates were UVo for local
miscellaneous members, 1Vc for fire safety members and 07o for police safety members, of annual
covered payroll.
(c) Actuarially Determined Contribution Requirements and Contributions Made
The City's annual pension cost for PERS for fiscal year 2000-2001 was equal to the City's required
and actual contributions. The required contributions for fiscal year 2000-2001 were determined as
part of the June 30, 1999, actuarial valuation using the entry age normal actuarial cost method. The
actuarial assumptions included (i) 8.25Vo investment rate of return (net of administrative expenses),
(ii) projected annual salary increases that vary by duration of service, and (iii) 3.757c across-the-
board increase and merit increases that vary by length of service. Both (i) and (ii) included an
inflation component of 3.507c. The actuarial value of PERS' assets was determined using techniques
that smooth the effects of short-term volatility in the market value of investments over a two- to five-

year period (smoothed market value). PERS' unfunded actuarial accrued liability is being amortized
as a level percentage of projected payroll on a closed basis. The amortization period of the unfunded
actuarial liability, if any, ends on June 30, 2001, for current service and prior service.

(e) PoshEmployment Benefits Other Than Pensions
The City provides postretirement health care benefits, administered through PERS, to all employees
who retire from the City on or after attaining age 50 with at least 5 years of service. Currently, 180
retirees meet these eligibility requirements. The City is required to pay a specified premium for each
retiree. Expenditures for postretirement healthcare benefits are recorded on a pay-as-you-go basis.
Duringthe fiscal yearended June 30,2001, the City incurred$734,286 in costs related to providing
such benefits.
(7\ Deferred Compensation PIan
The City offers its employees a defened compensation plan in accordance with Internal Revenue Code
(IRC) Secti on 457 . The plan, available to all employees, permits them to defer a portion of their
compensation until retirement or other termination. The plan is fully funded and a separate account is

(9) Self-Insurance
Effective July l, l976,for workers'compensation, and December2. 1976, for general liability, the City
implemented a self-insurance program. The City is self-insured for losses up to $275,000 and $250,000 for
workers' compensation and general liability, respectively.
The City, along with 29 other Bay Area governments, is a member of the Associated Bay Area
Goverments Pooled Liability Assurance Network Corporation (ABAG PLAN), a public-entity risk pool.
ABAG PLAN provides liability insurance coverage, claims management, risk management services and
legal defense to its participating members. ABAG PLAN is governed by a Board of Directors, which
comprises officials appointed by each participating member. Premiums paid to ABAG PLAN are subject to
possible refund based on the results of actuarial studies and approval by ABAG PLAN's Board of
Directors. Premiums are assessed to the participants based on their individual loss experience. General
liability insurance coverage has been purchased by ABAG PLAN for losses exceeding $250,000 up to a

maximum of $7,000,000. The workers' compensation program is administered- by a third-party
administrator (TPA), Athens Administrators. The TPA sets reserve levels for reported claims. Excess
workers' compensation insurance has been purchased by the City for losses exceeding $275,000 up to a
maximum of $5,000,000.
The ABAG PLAN claim administrators set the reserve levels for known liability claims. The City's
liabilities are reported when it is both probable that a loss has occurred and the amount of the loss can be
reasonably estimated. The claims liabilities are reported in the Internal Service Fund and include an
amount for claims that have been incurred but not reported. Liabilities are reevaluated annually to consider
current settlements, frequency of claims, past experience and economic factors. Changes in the balances of
the City's claims liabilities during the years ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 were as follows:

Settlement of claims has exceeded the City's self-insured reserve on one occasion in the past three years.
The excess amount of this claim was paid by ABAG PLAN.
In accordance with City policy, the City Council has reserved the retained earnings of the Internal Service
Fund for future claims and judgments. The reserves, which at June 30, 2001 totaled $688,978 for workers'
compensation and general liability coverage, are intended to cover the potential future cost of any major
claims within the self-insured retention.
(10) Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
(a) Claims and Litigation
The City has been named as defendant in several legal actions. In the opinion of City management
and the City Attorney, the ultimate outcome of these actions will not have a material adverse effect
on the financial position or operations of the City.
(b) Grants and Subventions
Receipts from federal and state programs are subject to audit by representatives of the federal and
state governments to determine if the monies were expended in accordance with statutes, grants,
terms and regulations. The City believes that no significant liability will result from these audits.
(c) Inndfill Closure and Postclosure Costs
The City is responsible for closing the Airport Boulevard landfill in accordance with the California
Code of Regulations under the jurisdiction of the California Integrated Waste Management Board.
The landfill is full to capacity and has been reconstructed as a multi-use recreational facility. A
liability was accrued based on the capacity used to date. Consequently, the City recorded 1007c of its
27 (Continued)
CITY OF BURLINGAME, CALIFORNIA
Notes to General Purpose Financial Statements
June 30.2001
estimated closure and postclosure costs and the development of a recreation facility. The City was
also required by the Bay Area Air Quality Management Board to install a gas collection system.
During fiscal year 1993, the City developed a Closure PIan that met all regulatory requirements. The
closure was planned to occur in two phases, Phase I was estimated at $5 million, and Phase II was
estimated at $3.8 million.
The landfill and postclosure liability accounted for in the Waste Management Enterprise Fund is
reduced by annual expenditures relating to postclosure maintenance. The postclosure costs and the
deficit in the Waste Management Enterprise Fund which resulted from the recording of the liability
for such costs, will be funded in future years by a surcharge on waste collection. The original
Iiability was estimated at $85,000 per year for 30 years which may be adjusted based on changes
with inflation or deflation as well as changes in applicable laws or regulation. There have been no
changes in the current year to the original estimate. The deficit in the Waste Management Enterprise
Fund amounted to $ 1,742,429 at June 30, 2001 .
(11) Subsequent Events
(a) On August l, 2001, the Burlingame Financing Authority issued $15,000,000 in lease revenue bonds
in order to finance construction of a corporation yard, as well as to fund a reserve fund for the bonds
and pay issuance costs. Interest rates range from 4Vo to 57c. These bonds have maturity dates ranging
from August 1,2002 to August 1,2021.
(b) During June 2001, the California Supreme Court issued a ruling known as the La Habra decision.
This ruling requires cities to obtain voter approval to continue tax rates that were adopted by city
councils between 1986 and 1995. Prior rulings had indicated no voter approval was required.
On July 23,2001, the council adopted a resolution to put Measures O, P and Q on the November6,
2001 ballot. These measures are as follows:
Measure O: To sustain and continue a transient occupancy tax rate of lUVa on the rent charged to
hotel guests
Measure P: To sustain and continue a general business tax rate of $100 per year
Measure Q: To establish a business tax on commercial parking facilities of 5Vo of gross
revenues.
The results of the November 6,2001 ballot were that Measures O, P and Q were passed and that
voters approved a continuation ofthese tax rates.
(c) Due to the events of September 11, 2001, air travel around the country was stopped for
approximately one week. Subsequent to this, business and air travel has continued albeit on a
reduced basis. Airlines at San Francisco airport have also cut back flight schedules. All of this
combines to affect the transient occupancy tax revenue that the City earns from business travelers
who stay at Burlingame hotels. It is uncertain what the continuing effects on City revenue will be in
the2002 fiscal year.

CAPITAL PROJECTS FUNDS
Capital Projects Funds are established to account for resources used for the acquisition
and construction of capital facilities by the City. Currently, the City has three separate
capital projects funds:
General Capttal Projects Fund: To account for the acquisition and construction of
all non-proprietary projects, including streets, parks, library, public safety and
general governmental projects such as improvements to city hall. The primary
source of funding for these projects is the General Fund-
Water Capttat Projects Fund: To account for acquisition and construction of all
water enterprise projects. This includes the water distribution system and a limited
amount of local tank storage. The City buys water from the San Francisco Water
Department, which is responsible for costs of the water collection and storage
system. These projects are funded through operating transfers by the Water Fund,
which derives its revenue from water ratepayers. Resulting Capital Assets are
recorded in the Enterprise Funds' Fixed Assets.
Sewer Caprtal Projects Fund: To account for acquisition and construction of all
sewer enterprise projects. This includes both the collection system and the City-
owned waste water treatment plant. These projects are funded by the Sewer Fund,
which derives its revenue from sewer ratepayers. Resulting Capital Assets are
recorded in the Enterprise Funds' Fixed Assets.

ENTERPRISE FUNDS
Enterprise funds are used to account for operations that are financed and operated in a
manner similar to private business enterprises where the intent of the governing body is
the costs of providing goods or services to the public on a continuing basis be financed
or recovered primarily through user charges.
Water and Sewer Funds: The City maintains separate funds for water and sewer to
account for the provision of water and sewer services to the residents of
Burlingame, and some adjoining residents in Hillsborough and the unincorporated
area. All activities necessary to provide such services are accounted for in these
funds, including, but not limited to, administration, operations, maintenance,
capital improvements, finance and billing/collections. These funds are primarily
financed by the water and sewer ratepayers.
Waste Management Fund.' This fund was established to account for postclosure
costs of the Airport Boulevard landfill, as required by Governmental Accounting
Standards Board Statement No. 18. These costs are to be financed by transfer of
50Vo of refuse franchise fee revenue to this fund.
Golf Center Fund: This fund was established to account for the operations of the
Burlingame Golf Center, a golf practice facility constructed by the City in
March 2000.

VI. STUDY ITEMS
1 II37.II45 PALOMA AVENUE - ZONED R.3 _ APPLICATION FOR NEGATTVE DECLARATION,
FRONT SETBACK VARIANCE, VARTANCE FOR DWELLING LINITS IN THREE BUILDINGS ON
oNE LOT, AND CONDOMINIUM PERMIT FOR A NEW THREE (3) STORY, TWELVE (12) UNrT
RESIDENTIAL CONDOMINII'M (DALE MEYER, DALE MEYER ASSOCIATES, APPLICANT AND
ARCHITECT; FU-LEN CHENG , PROPERTY O WNER).
CP Monroe presented a summary of the staff report noting that this application includes the tentative and
final parcel map and the tentative map for the condominium proposed. Commissioners asked: applicant
needs to make stronger findings for the setback and number of building variances, this is a flat lot with a
regular shape, findings need to be based on hardship related to the property; need a more detailed landscape
plan, more landscaping in the front and back, no palm trees; the articulated elements on the building need
to be deeper so they look more like elevation when built, now 18 inches to 2 feet, at towers, and no
articulation on the sides, should add articulation on the sides, like the iron railings, wood trim and Spanish
style; you show a wall on property line at the front, assume that the enky gates are electric remote operated
, where are the controls for guests, won't their cars extend over the sidewalk while they request entry, how
is this to be addressed; do not understand the parking, it looks like 20 on-site parking spaces not24 (all units
2 bedroom, need 2 parking spaces each,12 DU proposed) need the four guest parking spaces; in the two car
City of Burlingame Planning Commission Unapproved Minutes January 28, 2002
garages, it looks like with the location of the columns that there is only 16 feet clear to get in and out, will
the cars be able to make the maneuver; spaces b, e, h, k are one car, supposed to have 2 cars for 2 bedroom
units; would like the project to have more open space, relocate guest parking to the front and increase
landscaped area at the rear; perhaps because closer to transit can have fewer guest parking spaces and
increase open space; how will guests get into the building; the calculations on unit size and building size
do not add up, correct, a private open space deck 13 inches wide is not useable and does not qualifli for the
private open space requirement; the project has opportunity and proximity to Broadway should be more
people friendly at front, remove wall added lawn and open space along street; should provide a count of the
number of on street parking spaces at front of site with and without the project; the number of units and
density on the site is consistent with zoning and right for location, however, not pleased with the appearance
of the project; no hardship on the site, building should be pushed back to meet the average setback on the
side of the street requirement; in the initial study checked box for potentially significant effect for impact
on scenic vista, explain; should provide information on the height of the structures on either side of the
proposed prdect; how will guests enter the dwellings, though the garages? Is there another alternative?
Comments continued: Have a problem with the wall at the front of the project, not in keeping with the rest
of the block; question the findings, close to a reasonable design, would ask how you could provide
affordable housing, what tools are available; need to have plants in landscaping which have sufficient scale
when grown to match the scale of the building, the private open space is not useable; project has four times
as much drive way as open space; agree that the wall is inappropriate, entry setback needs to be very friendly
and to reduce the "motor court" sense. Should look more closely at parking is it useable, there are door
swings into required spaces; concerned with height, mass, bulk, visual effect on the neighborhood, design
lacks articulation, have not stepped in the fagade over 12 inches, drawings make it look substantial but it is
not, should reduce bulk and increase articulation though out; bridges connecting buildings should be
resolved better, used to break the plane of the building, need something more visually substantial to support
the bridges between the structures; open space is limited on the site, common space site selected is not
pleasant will be shady, should find a more useable space; the way the building addresses the street could be
studied, it is not going to read as being 2 to 3 feet lower, could raise it to address the sidewalk and street
better.
The foam detail looks heavy, massive sense to the building, should use a more traditional detail; deliveries
to this site are going to be a problem if need to be done double parked from the street, better to have access
to one of the motor courts, how can this be done; motor courts can be done nicely with special pavers; is
there funding available to assist development of housing within ll3 to % mlle of a transit center; do not
understand the purpose of the connecting bridges, know they tie the buildings together but they only have
a clearance of 8 feet, so they restrict use of the driveways for delivery trucks or taller cars, are they
necessary; clarify the height limits, review line and maximum height allowed in the zone. There were no
other comments from the Commission.
This item was set for the regular action calendar when all the environmental document has been completed,
the redesign work completed and the information has been submitted and reviewed by the planning
Department. This item concluded at 7:30 p.m.

ZONING CODE AMENDMENT FOR BUILDING SIZE IN BURLINGAME AVENUE AND
BROADWAY COMMERCIAL AREAS, NEW CONDITIONAL USES IN THE BURLINGAME
AVENUE COMMERCIAL AREA, AND CHANGE TO ZONING ACTION EXPIRATON.
CP Monroe presented a summary of the staff report. Commissioners asked: how is "substantial taxable
sales" defined for Graphic Arts and Design Businesses, and since this is to be located in a pedestrian
oriented area shouldn't the use title include the term "retail" since most graphic design businesses have no
retail component; suggest add requirement to definition that25Yo of the floor area be devoted to retail sales
space. Concerned about review of large footprint buildings; for health and beauty spas, three people for an
instruction group is not big enough to be an economic unit, shouldbe 6 people maximum; text on limitation
for size of first floor space on Broadway should be the same GSF of first floor as in Subarea A, Commission
discussed whether the review line for size in Subareas A and B and on Broadway should be approved with
a "sunset". Conclusion was that development would occur slowly enough and the sunset be so long as a
result, that it did not make sense to have a sunset requirement. There were no fuither comments on the
proposed zoning regulation changes.
Chairman Vistica noted that this item should be set for public hearing on the next available agenda when
the Commission had time for the item. This item concluded at7:40 p.m.

VARIANCE FOR A FIRST AND SECOND STORY ADDITION (JERRY DEAL, JD & ASSOCIATES,
APPLICANT AND DESIGNER; TOM AND SUSAN BOWEN, PROPERTY OWNERS) (52 NOTICED)
PROJECT PLANNER: RUBEN HURIN
Reference staff report, I.28.02, with attachments Planner Keylon presented the report, reviewed criteria
and Staff comments. Five conditions were suggested for consideration.
Chairman Vistica opened the public hearing. Susan and Tom Bowen, property owners, were present.
Commissioner stated that this item was moved off of the consent calendar to the regular action calendar to
allow the owner to explain the variance request, does not understand the unique circumstances of this
property that warrant a variance. Applicant stated that the house has a courtyard design which limits where
they could add-on. Proposed porch adds character to the front. When you enter at the front, you have to
walk through the courtyard to get to the front door, so that space is already being counted toward the total
floor area and lot coverage, but is not conditioned, usable space; one reason the lot coverage is so large.
There were no further comments and the public hearing was closed.

City of Burlingame Planning Commission Unapproved Minutes January 28, 2002
C. Osterling noted the clarification by the applicant about the existing configuration of the house and its
improved relationship to the street and neighborhood with the added porch addressed the variances
requested, so he moved to approve the application; by resolution, with the following conditions:
that the project shall be built as shown on the plans submitted to the Planning Department date
stamped December 19,2001, sheets 1-5 and 7, and date stamped January 23,2002, sheet 6, and that

Chairman Vistica stated that he thought that it is easy to fix the variance by moving the wall back a few feet,
this should be done.
Chairman Vistica called for a voice vote on the motion to approve. The motion passed on a 6-1(C. Vistica
dissenting). Appeal procedures were advised. This item concluded at 7:53 p.m.
19 DWIGHT ROAD - ZONED R.l _ APPLICATION FOR DESIGN REVIEW FOR A SINGLE STORY
ADDITION (THOMPSON STUDIO ARCHITECTS, APPLICANT AND ARCHITECT; VICTORIA
SMITH, PROPERTY OWNER) (64 NOTICED) PROJECT PLANNER: CATHERINE KEYLON
Reference staff report, 1.28.02, with attachments. Planner Keylon presented the report, reviewed criteria
and Staff comments. Five conditions were suggested for consideration.
Chairman Vistica opened the public hearing. David Thompson, 435 Brannan Street, project architect and
Victoria Smith, property owner, were available to answer any questions. Commissioner expresses concern
with the existing garage. It is an integral part of the project since it is a good portion of the house at the
front. When looking at neighborhood consistency, there are quite a few houses that have detached garages,
but the design of the addition with concrete steps off of the kitchen in the side yard does not allow for the
future possibility of having a detached garage. Garage, as is, is not with the neighborhood, would like to see
it detached. This is a large lot. There is room for a detached garage. Property owner stated that she does not
agree with Commissioners review of the neighborhood, some houses do have detached garages, but there
are also many with attached garages with second stories over them. This is a modest addition being
proposed, not a monster house. The kitchen porch already exists and would encroach into a driveway if
there were a detached garuge. Detaching the garage would also require the removal of three mature trees.
Proposal is not touching the front of the house. The front of the house is modest with an existing front

porch, will not be altered, the addition is only addressing the rear and interior wall configuration. There were
no further comments and the public hearing was closed.
C. Keighran made a motion to deny the project because it does not fit into the neighborhood due to the
garage placement, doesn't blend in with existing house, it is an eyesore on the block, the design of the
addition is fine. Chairman Vistica seconded the motion, and amended the motion to be denial without
prejudice, with direction to the applicant to remove the stairs off of the kitchen which would block future
access to allow the garage to be detached in the future. Maker agreed to amendment.
Commission discussion on the motion: Commission can't predict future development of the site, the
addition is fine, we are not voting on the garage-voting on the addition, can not support this motion; this is
a little remodel, garage is not great, but the project is way under on FAR, down the road they could add more
and detach the garage, many opportunities for this site, saving three matures trees is a significant issue
Commission should look at; even if garage is not detached, it does not fit the design of the house as a whole,
design review process for an addition is looking at the house as a whole; everything should blend, design
can be made better.
Chairman Vistica called for a roll call vote on the motion to deny(wop). The motion failed on a 4-3 vote
(Cers. Auran, Brownrigg, Keele, Osterling dissenting) .
C. Brownrigg made a new motion to approve the application, as is, by resolution, with the following
conditions:
1. that the project shall be built as shown on the plans submitted to the Planning Department date stamped
December 14,2001sheets A0.1 through A3.1 and sheets AB1 through AB3, with the 252 SF garden
shed in the rear yard to be removed before final inspection;
2. that the conditions of the Recycling Specialist and City Engineer's memos dated December 17,2000
shall be met;
3. that any increase to the habitable basement floor area and any changes to the size or envelope of the
first or second floors, which would include expanding the footprint or floor area of the structure,
replacing or relocating a window (s), adding a dormer (s) or changing the roof height or pitch, shall
be subject to design review;
4. that the project shall meet all the requirements of the California Building and Fire Codes, 1998
edition, as amended by the City of Burlingame.
The motion was seconded by C. Auran.
Chairman Vistica called for a voice vote on the motion to approve. The motion passed on a 5-2 (Cers
Keighran, Vistica dissenting) voice vote. Appeal procedures were advised. This item concluded at 8:14 p.m.

17 CHANNING ROAD _ ZONED R.l _ APPLICATION FOR DESIGN REVIEW FOR A FIRST AND
SECOND STORY ADDITION (ATANACIO RODRIGUEZ, APPLICANT AND PROPERTY OWNER;
LINCOLN LUE,ARCHITECT) (119 NOTICED) PROJECT PLANNER: ERIKA LEWIT
Reference staff report, 1.28.02, with attachments. Planner Keylon presented the report, reviewed criteria
and Staff comments. Five conditions were suggested for consideration. C. Osterling asked where the
landscape plan was, CP Monroe stated that the Commission could continue the item until a landscape plan
is provided. CA Anderson stated that it would be appropriate to bring back on consent, just ask for what
it is you would like to see on the plans.
Chairman Vistica opened the public hearing. Lincoln Lue, project architect, did the revisions the
Commission asked for at the last meeting, didn't know that a landscape plan was required, would like some
guidance on the landscaping.
Chris Cook, the neighbor at the rear, stated that the addition will have an impact on his privacy, the second
story will look right into his master bedroom, design review criteria says that the addition should interface
with adjacent properties, this project meets the code definition of new construction since it exceeds 50o/o of
the total floor area existing, the house is already non-conforming with a 4' rear setback, should be made to
comply. Project architect stated that the addition does meet the required 20 foot rear setback and that the
owners do not want to look into the neighbors yard. Commissioner noted that component nine, in the
residential design guidebook, address the need for landscaping to be part ofthe overall design process,
should select a trees from the street tree list or hire a landscape architect to help, would like to see massive
trees grown to nest the house; nice architecture but landscaping will improve it and help it blend as well as
increase neighbor's sense of privacy. There were no further comments and the public hearing was closed.
Commission discussion: design is nice, applicant addressed concerns, addition may look into the rear yard
but it is only two windows, one is in a closet (window) and the other is a smaller window in the bedroom;
the privacy issue is minimized.
C. Keighran moved to continue this item and place it on the consent calendar when a landscape plan has
been submitted.
The motion was seconded by C. Auran.
Discussion on the motion: trees could provide privacy for the neighbor, already some large trees on his site,
zoning does not ensure privacy, the second floor addition is held back 20 feet as required by code, the
windows on the second story are minimized.
Chairman Vistica called for a voice vote on the motion to continued the item to the consent calendar for the
applicant to address the landscape issues. The motion passed on a 7-0. This item concluded at 8:30 p.m..

DESIGNER; ROBERT AND GERMAINE ALFARO, PROPERTY OWNERS) (48 NOTICED) PROJECT
PLANNER: SEAN O,ROURKE
Reference staff report,l.28.02,with attachments. Planner Keylon presented the report, reviewed criteria and
Staff comments. Five conditions were suggested for consideration.
C. Keighran moved to continue this item and place it on the consent calendar when a corrected landscape
plan has been submitted. Commission clarified that the discrepancy between the landscape plan and the site
plan was approximately 8 feet not 18", plans were not changed from the very first proposal. Commission
noted that when applicant comes back it would be acceptable to have 24 inchbox size trees rather than 48
inch box size, which are much harder to handle. The applicant may want to look over the City's street tree
list in selecting species which will be big enough to screen the addition and will do well in Burlingame.
The motion was seconded by C. Osterling.
Chairman Vistica called for a voice vote on the motion to continue the item to the consent calendar when
the landscape plan has been made consistent with the site plan. The motion passed on a 7-0 voice vote. This
item concluded at 8:5lp.m.

RUFFAT, STEWART ASSOCIATES, APPLICANT AND ARCHITECT; ED NEALE, PROPERTY
owNER) (4s NOTTCED ) PROJECT PLANNER: SEAN O,ROURKE
Reference staff report, 1.28.02, with attachments. CP Monroe presented the report, reviewed criteria and
Planning Department comments. Four conditions were suggested for consideration.
Chairman Vistica opened the public hearing. Robert and Germaine Alfaro, property owners, were available
to answer questions. Commissioners asked if the house was shifted back; owners acknowledged that yes,
the house has been shifted back 18". Germaine Alfaro noted that they increased the tree size. Commission
also noted that the tree species has changed to Liquid Amber, and suggested using root barrier to protect the
driveway and house; house is shown in the wrong location on the landscape plan, does not match location
shown on the site plan, seems that the front setback change from the original drawings with a large front
setback variance was not carried over to the landscape plans, all drawings should be consistent. Rear yard
is small because of the shed. Owners stated that they need the extra storage space proposed in the shed as
well as the two parking spaces. Commission noted that the design is nice, good that front setback variance
is eliminated, but concerned that moving the house back may infringe on the rear landscaping as shown on
the landscape plan submitted. There were no further comments and the public hearing was closed.
Chairman Vistica opened the public hearing. John Stewart, project architect was present to answer any
questions. Commission noted that previous comment was made regarding the mixed architectural styles on
the house, asked the architect what changes were made to make the style of the house more consistent. Mr.
Stewart stated that the design review consultant felt that with the deck removed, the style of the house was
fine. Commission noted that there are a lot of trees in this area, but there is no landscape plan. Mr. Stewart
7
City of Burlingame Planning Commission Unapproved Minutes January 28, 2002
pointed out that there is existing landscaping at the rear to screen the addition. Commission noted that
window detailing was only shown on the front elevations, is the detailing proposed to be the same all
around; thought the landscaping information on the plans was spa$e. Mr. Stewart noted that a drafting error
was made, and the window detailing would be consistent through out. There are no added trees at the front
since the addition would not have a major impact on the front of the house. There were no further comments
and the public hearing was closed.
Commission discussion: applicant has complied with the changes requested, nice addition, trees at the back
are in scale with the addition, would be a good idea to add rwo trees to the front.
C. Osterling moved to approve the application, by resolution, including the conditions in the staff report and
with a condition added that two trees, selected from the City's street tree list, be planted in the front of the
house.
The conditions as amended were include in the motion:
1) that the project shall be built as shown on the plans submitted to the Planning Department date
stamped December 21, 2001, sheets Al - A8 with no deck at the rear of the house, and that any
changes to the footprint or floor area of the building during construction or following this construction
shall require an amendment to this permit;
that any changes to the size or envelope of the basement, first or second floors, which would include
adding or enlarging a dormer(s), decks, moving or changing windows and architectural features or
changing the roof height or pitch, shall be subject to design review;
that the conditions of the Recycling Specialist's, Chief Building Official's and City Engineer's
November 5,2001., memos shall be met'
that the project shall meet all the requirements of the California Building Code and California Fire
Code, 1998 edition, as amended by the City of Burlingame; and
that two24 inch box size trees, pickedfrom the City's list of approved street trees, shall be planted in
the front yard of the house.
The motion was seconded by C. Auran.
Chairman Visitca moved to amend the motion to continue the item to allow story poles to be put up since
this property is in the hillside area and they were not required before. The motion to amend was seconded
by C.Brownrigg.
Comment on amended motion: Commission discussed whether or not story poles should be required; should
be requesting story poles at the study meeting, since there were no neighbors that complained about this
project and the design has screening by the landscaping it is o.k. to process without story poles; looked at
subject property without the story poles and other houses in the area, don't think that story poles are
necessary for this project; it appears to be an oversight that story poles were not requested; it is prudent in
the future that story poles be put up for all projects in the hillside area; can not ask for them on some and
not others, where do we draw the line.

DESIGN & ENGR., DESIGNER) (61 NOTICED) PROJECT PLANNER: CA THERINE KEYLON
Reference staff report, 1.28.02, with attachments. Planner Keylon presented the report, reviewed criteria
and Staff Department comments. Four conditions were suggested for consideration.
Chairman Vistica opened the public hearing. Mike Wilson, 1533 California Drive, property owner,
explained that he changed the leaded glass window in the bay at the front to keep it consist with the rest of
the house and neighborhood, since there are no leaded glass windows in the immediate area. The kitchen
window along the left elevation was removed as a result on an agreement with the neighbor. The
elimination of the window also allows the stove to be put on that wall, which will make venting a lot easier;
has had a lot of problems with flat roofs which is why the change has been made to the bay window framing.
Commission asked if work was already done, applicant stated that it has already been done. Commission
stated doing work and being stopped by the building department is becoming a frequent occurrence; prdects
that Commission approves are being changed in the field by applicants after approval knowing approval by
the Commission is required; Conditions clearly state that before changes are made to a design, the Planning
Commission must approved them; very frustrating for the Commission to deal with this; Commission
discussed levying fines for this behavior; the area where the kitchen window was removed is now alarge
blank wall, should be filled with plants or bushes. There were no further comments and the public hearing
was closed.
C. Boju6s moved to approve the application, by resolution, with the following conditions, and an added
condition that bushes/shrubs be planted along the left elevation where the kitchen window was eliminated
in order to break up the blank wall:
that the project shall be built as shown on the plans submitted to the Planning Department date
stamped January 15,2002, Sheets A.3, A.4 and A.5, floor plans and building elevations;
that any changes to the size or envelope of the project, which would include adding or enlarging a
dormer(s), or changing the roof height or pitch, and changes to windoddoor placement or size, shall
be subject to design review;
that the conditions of the City Engineer's, Chief Building Official's and Recycling Specialist's May

PROPERTY OWNER) (67 NOTICED ) PROJECT PLANNER: RUBEN HURIN
Reference staff report,l.28.02, with attachments. CP Monroe presented the report, reviewed criteria and
Staff comments. Five conditions were suggested for consideration. C. Keighran noted that when driving
by the site she noticed that construction crews were working at 8 or 9 at night, well after the permitted hours
of construction, also noted that construction workers regularly park on dirt within the front setback area.
Chairman Vistica opened the public hearing. Lawrence Viola, properfy owner, stated that he has asked his
contractor repeatedly to stop parking in the front setback, also will keep on him to stick to the City's
construction hours. CA Anderson noted that it is appropriate to call the police if there is a violation of the
construction hours. Commission asked if owner could do front landscaping now rather than waiting until
the project is finished, that way the house will look complete and will not appear as if it still under
construction since most of the remaining work is now inside of the house. Commission clarified with owner
that the side on which the deck is being added is not the side with the small setback. Commission discussed
with staff the frequency of visits to the site from the Building Inspectors. Commission disturbed that work
went beyond the scope that was approved.
Dick Fuller, neighbor at2210 Poppy Drive, noted exterior design and quality is good, concern that it gets
completed, construction has been going on for two years, please don't do anything to slow down this project,
happy to see a lot of work going on every day now. There were no further comments and the public hearing
was closed.
Commission discussion: changes are in keeping with the design of the project, neighbors not opposed to
second floor deck but disturbed that this work went beyond that which was approved; usually do not support
second floor decks.
C. Osterling moved to approve the application, by resolution, with the conditions listed in the staff report:
1) that the project shall be built as shown on the plans submitted to the Planning Department date

Staff comments. Six conditions were suggested for consideration. Commissioners asked if staff considered
changing condition #3 to limit the maximum number of people not just maximum number of employees.
CA Anderson noted that Commission should recognize that limiting the maximum number of people on-site
is very hard to enforce. Commission asked if the Fire Department has a limit maximum number of people;
yes, more than parking requirements allow. Commission noted that mortgage brokerage do have clients that
visit the site, and also noted that mortgage brokers are sometimes licensed to be real estate brokers as well.

with condition#3, allowing only 3 people on-site. Mr. Llamas stated that right now would work, but would
have to relocate down the road, would be able to work with limit of 3 employees but not 3 people. Usually
2 or 3 clients come together to the office and stay for one-half to one hour. Commission noted that that
conditions for the same uses need to be consistent. Staff noted that concem with this type of use is that they
typically have meetings on Monday mornings where all employees and contractors come to the site.
Applicant stated they do not have contractors and they do not hold Monday moming meetings. Commission
asked applicant how the business currently operates. The applicant explained that there are currently 2 full
time employees and 1 part time employee. There were no further comments and the public hearing was
closed.
C. Keighran moved to approve the application, by resolution, with an amendment that condition #3 be limit
the total number of employees or contractors to three, and the remaining following conditions:

6
City of Burlingame Planning Commission Unapproved Minutes January 28, 2002
condition #2 changing the maximum number of people on-site for this business at any one time from 8 to
6. Commission and staff discussed the reason for limiting the number of people on-site. There would be a
lot of people in a small space, exceeding the City's parking requirement per square footage by quite a lot,
and real estate uses usually have Monday moming meetings which creates a parking problem area when all
the real estate businesses do this at the same time. CA Anderson noted that the application states there
would be 9 people.
Chairman Vistica opened the public hearing. Bill Gilmartin, 400 Primrose Road, applicant, stated that a
limit on the total number of people on-site would not allow for customers to come to the office since there
are currently 6 employees there now; 1 part-time administrator, 1 full-time administrator, arrd 4 fuIl-time
realtors. Usually customers come to the site 2 or 3 at a time. There were no further comments and the
public hearing was closed.
Commission discussion: with a limit of 6 people a1,700 SF site, is close to 1:300 SF; need to provide for
customers, should change limit to 9 people; impact of employees is the main concern here, not customers;
condition number one should be amended to acknowledge that customers will be visiting the site.
C. Boju6s moved to approve the application, by resolution, with the following conditions, including an
amendment to condition #1 stating that customers will be visiting the site, and an amendment to conditions
#2 statingthat there will be a maximum of 6 employees on-site at any one time:
1) that the real estate use shall be limited to 1,700 SF in Suite #512 at 330 Primrose Road, as shown on
the plans submitted to the Planning Department and date stamped November 29,2001, Underground
Garage and Fifth Floor Plan with a maximum of 6 employees (fuIl-time and part-time) on site at any
one time including the office manager and all employees and contractors, but not including customers
that may visit the site to do business ;
2) that the real estate office on this site may not be open for business except during the hours of 8:00 a.m.
to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday and 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on weekends with a maximum of
S+€eple 6 employees on-site for this business at any one time;
3) that any changes in operation, floor area, use, or number of full or part-time employees, or total
number of people on site an any one time which exceeds the maximums as stated in these conditions
shall require an amendment to this use permit; and
4) that the use and any improvements for the use shall meet all Califomia Building and Fire Codes, 1998
Edition as amended by the City of Burlingame;
5) that this use permit shall be reviewed for compliance with these conditions in January 2004, and each
two years thereafter or immediately upon compliant.
The motion was seconded by C. Vistica.

IX. DESIGN REVIEW STUDY ITEMS
11.1616 ROLLINS ROAD _ ZONED M.l _ ENVIRONMENTAL SCOPING FOR A CONDITIONAL USE
PERMIT AMENDMENT FOR PARKING IN A DRAINAGE EASEMENT (PETER O'HARA, PACIFIC
PROPERTY ASSET MGMT., APPLICANT; NEAL MARTIN, PLANNER/CONSULTANT;
SANJAYLYN COMPANY, PROPERTY OWNER) (46 NOTICED) PROJECT PLANNER: CATHERINE
KEYLON
Planner Keylon briefly presented the project description and the Staff identified potential environmental
lSSUeS.
Chairman Vistica opened the public comment to identiff the environmental issues of the proposed project.
Neal Martin, planning consultant, Peter O'Hara, property manager from Pacific Property Asset Management
Company, were present. They explained the project, issues they are aware of and mitigation measures they
are proposing, to address the protected Califomia Red-Legged Frog which has been identified on-site. They
explained that recently there was a trespass use of the property by a towing company, and they are gone
now. They are also looking into correcting the drainage problem and hope to find and repair a2L" pipethat
would be connected with the City pipe that daylights at the easement. They have been in contact with the
neighbors at 160611610 and 1600 Rollins Road and hope to address their concems with traffic.
Commission questioned the fresh "caterpillar tracks" observed on the site. Mr. O'Hara stated that he was
not aware of any heavy equipment on-site, but a fence that was put up by the trespass use, was recently
removed and the tracks could have been made when the fence was removed. Commission asked why the
parking spaces are not in tandem rows to allow more cars on-site. Mr. O'Hara stated that they are only
providing the number of spaces required to satisfy the use. Commission asked the average length of stay
for each vehicle. Mr. Martin stated that it is estimated that there would be 16 cars moved per day, and that
each vehicle would have an average stay of 12 days. Commission asked if applicant was going to have
multiple tenants, applicant stated that they are only going to have one tenant for the long term motelftrotel
parking on-site, and have not yet selected a tenant.
Tom Chakos, 1600 Rollins Road, and Joseph DiMaio, 160611610 Rollins Road, commented. Upset that they
had not been contacted before the public notice of this meeting. There is a prescriptive access easement on
both sides of the property at 160611610 Rollins Road. The parking spaces 5-10 that were approved in 1997
as a part of the conditional use permit on 1606/1610 were never usable, have been painted over. If spaces
5-10 and 21-23 are enforced, then the loading dock access and circulation for the other businesses will not
work. The exiting from this site to Rollins Road is dangerous, having more cars on the site will increase
this problem. Drainage has been a problem for many years, plugs up the street in-front of 1600 Rollins. The
creek at the back of 1616 Rollins Road used to have to be cleaned every 6 months by Munkdale, has not
been maintained. Because of cross drainage, had to put sump pump on his property at 1600 Rollins Road
and pump water back to the creek because both 1616 and 1606/1610 Rollins Road drain onto his property.
What will happen when grade is raised 3" with fiIl/asphalt, major flooding? There were 2 gas tanks on his
property (1600) that were recently removed and contamination was found. There are currently samples
being tested from this area to determine if the plume is migrating toward the drainage channel, could be big
problem. There was never an easement established as part of the 1997 project for 160617610 and 1616
T4
City of Burlingame Planning Commission Unapproved Minutes January 28, 2002
Rollins Road, it was only a license agreement between the owners of 1616 Rollins Road and AMR
(American Medical Response) the shared tenant. A lot of information is misrepresented regarding the
drainage area. This proposal ignores existing business uses in the area, there are loading docks and
circulation areas that need to be accessed.
Issues for inclusion in the environmental review and/or project review identified by the Commission were:
o Is there maneuverability within the parking layout for PG&E trucks to access and maintain towers in the
drainage area; Is parking allowed at the base of the PG&E towers, or does it need to be setback, how
close to the bottom of the towers should cars be allowed to park; check with PG& E for their comments;
r How will the drainage area be addressed in the North End Specific Area Plan study, will its future use
be addressed, how will present action on this application affect the SAP;
o How did the present drainage issue come to the City's attention, what is being done;
o Is there presently erosion from the disturbed upland area in this portion of the drain into the channel;
o Why does ambulance service need 126 parkhg spaces;
o How many rooms at the El Rancho; are this number of spaces required to support their long term parking
customer need;
o Concemed with traffic, what is the number of trips anticipated for this use plus all the uses in this portion
of the drain;
o Does the traffic analysis include BART traffic impacts;
o Why are only 4 drains with oil separators proposed for the new paved area, does this include the entire
drain or just the northem end; how do oil separators work; who will be responsible for maintaining the
oil separators and how will compliance be enforced;
o Will grading the site insure that the flow of the drainage will go to the proposed inlets and into the
channel, and insure water from Rollins Road will still go to the channel;
r Paving the site would make the surface impervious when the area is a drainage swale, is there permeable
material you could use to increase normal absorption in the drainage area (NPDES);
o Would like additional information how the frogs use the ramp;
o Would like more information about the wetlands, are there other areas on the site which have been
identified as wetlands;
. Applicant should study and include measures for improving the environment in this area.
o How will raising the grade on the area in the drain area adjacent to the properties at 1600,
160611610,1616 affect the on site drainage and surface flow on these properties;
o How will the proposed use of the drain area affect the truck access to 160611610 Rollins and their
neighbor to the south who gains access to his loading dock across the rear of 160611610 Rollins
Road; Will the project affect the access to and parking on the adjoining properties, if so how;
o How many tenants will be provided for on the drainage easement and how will the areas used by the
different tenants be distinguished; who will be responsible for seeing that the requirements of the
City, State, and Federal governments are met by the users and that the conditions of approval
regarding the environment are met;
There were no further comments and the public comment was closed. Staff was directed to address the
identified issues in the Initial Study and environmental document. This item concluded at ll:23 p.m.

Review of City Council regular meeting of January 23,2002
CP Monroe reviewed the actions of the City Council at their January 23,2002, meeting.
Discussion of Special Meeting Dates and Subjects in February and March, 2002.
CP Monroe noted that the Commissioners should take the January 30,2002, special meeting date off their
calendars along with the February 20,2002, date. The Commissioners agreed to set a special meeting to
take public comment on the DEIR for the Safeway project at 1450 Howard Avenue, on March 6,2002, a
Wednesday evening. Staff and Commission discussed the desirability of holding a special meeting in
February to discuss process, procedures, and communications. The group decided on a Special meeting at
7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, February 19,2002, in City Hall.
The increasing problem with inadequate landscape plans and designs which do not address the intent of the
residential design guidelines in recent submittals was noted. Commission directed staff to be clear with
applicants that one of the purposes of a landscape plan, as noted in the design guidelines was to insure
vegetation in scale with the proposed structure (the size of the box the plant is in is less important). All
projects, whether new houses or remodel, should include landscape plans which note the species and size
of the mature trees. Staff should hand out the city's street tree list to applicants because it documents species
that are big enough to screen second story addition and that will do well in Burlingame. It should be pointed
out that the size we are concemed with is the mature size of the tree, not the size of the plant when installed.
An appropriate size tree for installed landscaping is 24 inch box. That is what we typically use for street
trees. Applicants should think about the intent of the landscaping in terms of the design guidelines and
streetscape and be prepared to address it with the commission at design review study. Plans should be to
scale and structures placed in the proper locations at the same size as on the plans to be approved. C.
Osterling offered to review the city's handout for what should be included on landscape plans. Staff noted
that they would follow up.

C
D
Youth Advisor.v Committee (YAC) Report - (Contd.) -
Commissioner Heathcote suggested that if the guidelines were in writing, the
participating bands would understand the expectations.
Chairman Larios suggested that the band that performs best could be invited to play at
one of the "Music in the ParlC' concerts; that this might help the youth feel that the park
is for their enjoyment as well.
Commissioners Martindale and Warden reported that the Winter Formal for the middle
schools had 270 junior high youth in attendance and that YAC raised $1,400 from the
event. Prior to the dance, the Committee sought input from Burlingame Intermediate
School students as to the kind of music they wanted for the dance and a dress code was
established. The Committee decorated for the dance and had people taking pictures
throughout the evening. Acting Superintendent Mutto stated that it was a very successful
evert; St. Catherine's and Our Lady of Angels Catholic Schools middle school students
had been invited as well.
Acting Superintendent Mutto reported that 50 young people attended the first "free" open
gym at BIS; expects numbers to grow as the word gets out that it's "free".
Commissioners Martindale and Warden reported that future YAC events such as family
events, movies at the Aquatic Center, and volunteering at the Samaritan House are
currently being discussed by the Committee..

committee is doing.

interesting to see how the different components of the 3 cities crossed over. The
Commissions discussed topics of concern, projects, and common issues that Parks &
Recreation commissions encounter.
Commissioner Dittman commented that the Peninsula Conflict Resolution Center led the
group in an exercise that was "gteat"; adding that commissioners should be required to
go through a PCRC presentation. Chairman Larios added thatit would be helpful to have
a manual for incoming Commissioners explaining the duties ofthe Commission.
Chairman Larios thought the opportunity to share ideas with other Parks & Recreation
Commissions was very positive and noted that Director Schwartz's Power Point
!
Recan of Joint Parks & Recreation Commissions Meetine - (Contd.) -
presentation was excellent. He was impressed that, unlike the other cities, Burlingame's
City Council and City Manager provide a capital improvement budget for recreation in
the City of Burlingame; this has helped Burlingame to be a leader in recreation and
conversely raises the expectations of the community.
Commissioner Erickson suggested that, on occasioq the Commission "swap" or send a
guest to other city's Parks and Recreation Commission meetings. Chairman Larios
suggested that perhaps the Burlingame Parks and Recreation Commission could host a
joint meeting with San Mateo, Foster City, and perhaps Belmont, so that ideas can be
exchanged with those cities. After a brief discussiorq Chairman Larios stated he believed
it would be very beneficial to the Commission and asked staffto determine i{ when, and
where the Burlingame Parks and Recreation Commission could host a joint meeting.
PUBLIC COMMENTS - None

Parks Division and Recreation Division Reports - see attached.
Commissioners
Heathcote
Commissioner Heathcote noted that the Burlingame High School Football Field is
draining well and is a beautiful facility.
Heathcote stated he would like to see the Magnolia trees on Hillside between Cortez and
Cabrillo removed and replaced with a different variety because the roots cause tripping
hazards for pedestrians attending Our Lady of Angels Catholic Church. Acting
Superintendent Mutto responded that his request would be referred to Director Schwartz.
(Request was refeted to City Arborist, Steve Porter, for review.)
Erickson
Commissioner Erickson stated the BHS Football Field is frequently used now in the
Winter.
Erickson said he noticed that the top deck of the moored boat @ataya Princess) out at the
bay front is being renovated as well as the surrounding landscaping and pa*ing lot; and
that the Bike Trail on the Sanchez lagoon looks nice with the grass and benches.
Erickson asked what work was going on between the Golf Range and the Bay. (The
current project is a landscaping project, in keeping with a future widening of Airport
Blvd.)
Erickson commented that the Dog Park is being reseeded. Chairman Larios stated that
synthetic grass may be considered at a future date; and commented that many dog parks
close when it's wet. Erickson then asked staff if there had been complaints of dogs in
Washington Park? Acting Superintendent Mutto responded that there have been no
complaints recently.
Martindale
Commissioner Martindale reported that a teen room is being developed at the Recreation
Center. The room will be equipped with a T.V., stereo, and VCR. Acting Superintendent
Mutto commented that the room is in the back of the auditorium stage and has a
restroorq an offrce with a phone, and will be carpeted. Room will be used for youth
gatherings, YAC meetings, and older youth rec c.rnps and should be completed by the
end ofFebruary.
The Commission briefly discussed YAC officers serving as Park and Recreation
Commissioners. Commissioner Martindale reported that the YAC Committee is still
discussing this issue and added that, by not allotryrng youth to serve on both committees
at the same time would allow for more youth to participate in leadership positions.
Dittman
Commissioner Dittman asked if the vacant area next to Laguna Playground could be
improved by planting trees and perhaps installing some benches. Acting Superintendent

re: Damaged tree at 1320 Drake Avenue, Burlingame
Dear Sirs,
The property commonly known as 1320 Drake Avenue, which is next to my home at 1316 Drake Avenue,
is being develo@ and has been under construction for approxinately eight montfu by Chi-Hwa
Shaofanie, Trust. From my review of the appropriate city files for the planning and approval for the
development and construction of this new single family dwelling, the city has required that the developer
keep the targe pine tree on the front ofthe property during the construction proc€ss and to be a part ofthe
completed development.
During the construction process, the developer has broken or severed many tree limbs either by accident
or otherwise. In addition, within the past several days, a large root has also been purposely severed.
My concern is that due to these severings, the root qystem rnay have been weakened and as a result, at
some point this tree will become more unstable and may fall. Given that the winds are usually west to east
and during the winter months these winds can be extremely powerfi.rl, this tree may be zubject to failure.
My home would be directly in the path of this tree should it fall.
I therefore suggest you investigate and address this situation inrmediately and re-evaluate your previous
decision to require that this damaged tree stay on tlis property and further, either remove it or require the
dweloper to do so.
The purpose of this leuer is to give you notice of demage to the above mentioned tree and constructive
notice, that if at some point in the future, this tree or any parts of this tree on the property commonly
known as 1320 Drake Avenue falls. either as a direct or indirect result of its weakened condition, and any
part of my property is da:naged, or any people in or on my property are injured, I will hold responsible
both the City of Burlingame and Chi-Hwa Shaofanie, Trust and seek compensatory damages to the full
extent of the law.
Sincerely,
a

Dear City Council Members:
On January 231 attended my first City Council meeting. I am currently a Boy Scout of
Troop 156 at First Presbyterian Church of Burlingame. I came to the City Council
meeting as a part of my Citizenship in the Community merit badge. I found the meeting
to be interesting being that I had never attended one previously. I learned about several
city issues from listening.
I was especially interested in the issue concerning the family that lost their home.
Apparently there was some type of accident that resulted in massive amounts of sewage
coming into their home on Skyview Drive. I felt very sorry for them because it seemed
to me that they have really had a tough year after being in their house for over twenty
years. It has already been thirteen months and they still have not resolved their issues.
They not only have problems with clean up, but complications in trying to obtain permits
etc.. They were so frustrated that they brought rurny of their friends and neighbors for
support.
I do not know all of the background information to this story and realize that there may
be another side to it. I am sure it is a complex issue and I might feel differently if I did
know more. It did seem like a great deal of people were concerned with this issue, so I
certainly hope that it is solved on good terms. Since these are Burlingame people, I hope
that someone can help them.
Sincerely,
Doug Gettel

Re: Your Letter of January 23,2002
Dear Mr.'Gettel:
Thank you for your letter of January 23,2002, and for your interest in learning more. The City
council asked me to respond regarding the Marinis' sewer diffrculties.
Because the claim is currently in settlement negotiations, we cannot discuss all aspects of the
case, but I wanted to provide you with a brief outline.
Sewage backed up into the Marinis' home at 1344 Skyview on Sunday, December 17,2000,
apparently because a clump of paper got caught in the sewer main. The back-up was not
discovered until6 p.m. when Mrs. Marini came home. A City sewer crew arrived at the home
within half an hour of the call and had the blockage cleared within 20 minutes.
Two clean-up crews from a City-retained remediation contractor arrived on scene by 8:30 p.m.
on Sunday to begin preliminary clean-up. City claims examiners arranged for kitchen-equipped
accommodations at the El Rancho Hotel in Millbrae, which were paid directly by the City for
over 6 months.
During the next 5 months, City contractors worked on the Marinis' home to remove all of the
contamination and clean all the Marinis' clothing. So far, the City has paid approximately
$160,000 in remediation, cleaning, and housing allowance.
In May of last year, the home was ready for reconstruction work. The Marinis had retained an
architect and a contractor to work on the reconstruction. The building permits were ready to
issue last July, and the Marinis' contractor picked them up four weeks ago.
Since last spring, the City and the Marinis, through their respective attorneys and the City's
insurance pool, have been working to arrive at a settlement amount. As you might expect, people
don't always agree on specific amounts, so there has been give and take to make sure that the
Marinis are fairly compensated and that the taxpayers don't pay for unnecessary or
ra

unsubstantiated expenses. Naturally, the Marinis wanted to upgrade the home during the
reconstruction, so we have attempted to determine what is related to the sewer back-up and what
is not. The final settlement will compensate the Marinis for the necessary reconstruction and
permit fees.
Sometimes it is not possible to quickly reach a settlement because there is a good faith
disagreement over what is owed. Because the City is a public agency, the Marinis have the right
to present their case directly to the City Council. The City, in turn, will continue to work with
the Marinis to reach a dollar amount that is acceptable to everyone involved.
I hope this is helpful in providing more information. If you would like to get more details or
learn mofe about the City's infrastructure, please give me call.
