AMUSEMENT PERM]T FOR SAFARI RUN 2OOO
Mayor Lembi announced that the applicants have requested action be
taken first on the agenda, there were no objections. Chief of
Police reviewed the City Attorney's memos of June 5 and June 14 and
Ietters dated June 14 from Brian Mcsweeney and the letter in
response from Chief of Police dated June 15, 1990. Originally staff
had recommended council revoke the Amusement Permit for Safari Run
2000 due to activities which appeared to be hazardous to our
citizens and the community. Subsequently the city Attorney and
Chief of Police met with Mcsweeney and Tinkefenberg and reached a
tentative agreement to alIow the business to continue with certainconditions: the Amusement Permit wiII be surrendered on or before
September 15, 1990; the business will be allowed to oPerate under
rules of its permit; if Tinkelenberg changes her location outside
the City of Burlingame, the city will not interfere with the
application processi if the business is soLd to a new owner that
owner should not follow the same format as Safari Run.
Brian Mcsweeney, attorney, and Judith Tinkelenberg of Safari Run
2000, were both present and agreed to the conditions; they askedthat if the business should move and the city were asked to forward
copies of police reports regarding the business, Safari Run be
allowed to respond to the allegations in the reports. He also askedthat the portion of the reports which refer to incidents which
occurred under a previous owner be deleted from his clienttsrecords. Councilman Pagliaro asked Mcsweeney and [inkelenberg if
they understood that any substantial violations would result in
immediate council revier^r. The applicants agreed.
Councilwoman Barton moved to approve the extension of Safari Run
2000 Amusement Permit with conditions referred to by Chief ofPo1ice. Seconded by councilman Harrison, carried unanimously byroII caII vote.

A duly noticed regular meeting of the Burlingame city council r,ras
held on the above date in the City HaIl council Chambers and was

Councilman Harrison said he would abstain from the vote and
discussion because he was absent at the public hearing.

Mayor tembi reminded the audience that the public hearing was closed
and asked for council corffnents.
councilman Pagliaro reviewed guestions raised at the hearing
regarding deliveries and garbage pickup from the front of thebuilding. He vrondered if council could make a condition that these
pickup and deliveries take place through the easement at the rear ifpossible. City Planner responded that council could make that a
condition but it is a private easement and the applicants would have
to get permission from the property owner.
Councilwoman Barton was concerned that we did not know what kind of
restaurant is going into the site; previous councils have worked
hard to preserve retait uses j.n sub-area A; this project would use
the parking structure for its parking; she said
excellent job and it's a lovely design but real
restaurants are not the direction she wants to

Councilman Pagliaro said council had received reports from the city
Attorney and city Planner regarding the issue of the restaurant
permit procedures complained about by the Strange's attorney at the
last meeting. The city Planner's Ietter to the Strangers $ras guite
clear that the permit would be issued on a first come, first served
basis; their request was denied and Karen Strange sent another
request for a restaurant permit on April 2, !990 and did not mention
being "firstt' in priority, it seems the Strange's realized it was
first come first served. He thought staff had acted proPerly.
Regarding the cohnts apptication, Councilman Pagliaro had talked to
his L5 year o1d daughter and she noted that no matter what kind of
project srent into that site, deliveries would have to be made from
Primrose. He agreed vrith councllwoman Barton that council has tried
to limit restaurants but we have to face reality and if we are too
restrictive the Cohn's will have no alternative but to demolish the
existing structure and we will lose this nice o1d building. He
would like to see two additional conditions for approval, that there
be no take-out or fast food restaurant and that the applicants try
to acquire use of the easement at the rear from the property owner
for deliveries and garbage pickup.
Councilwoman Barton commented that t\"ro newspaper reports said that
council is "saving an historic building.rt She $ranted the people to
realize that with this proposal council would not be saving the
building, just the front wall.
Councilwoman otMahony said she would also Iike to see the building
remain as it is but vJe must compromise, keeping the facade allows
for a viable project, it's a much better alternative; think other
alternatives viould be much more detrimental to traffic; itts not
perfect but it's the best compromise.
Councilwoman Barton said if council approves this real estate office
in Sub-area A what will happen when the next request comes along;
she thought it was a terrible mistake. The cohn's built the Library
Plaza area and it is a beautiful building, they could build
something similar on this site.
Mayor Lembi noted that this real estate office is just a two man
office, it wilt not have an impact like an insurance office or an
accountant could have. He did not see a great problem if council
conditions that there be no fast food; there will be traffic and
parking no matter what goes into the site; businesses put their
garbage out in front every day in Burlingame, BFI picks up early in
ihe morning and it is no problem. He thought this project was the
best alternative for the site; the city would keep the facade of
this o1d building.

earshall occur at the rear of the buildingshall be redrawn so that this can occur
at the front or rear of the buitding; he also approved the Negative
43
Declaration for the project finding that based on the initial study,staff report and comments from the public hearing there is no
evidence the project wiII have a significant effect on the
environment. Seconded by Councilwoman OrMahony, carried 3-1-L on
ro11 call vote. Councilwoman Barton voting no and Councilman
Harrison abstaining.
Councilman Pagliaro commented the applicant and his present landlord
agreed to the council at the public hearing that their present real
estate office would not be leased to another real estate office.
Restaurant Permits: Councilwoman Barton thought the c
have a priority list for restaurant permits, she said
waiting for a permit were away on vacation when the ci
notified people that an opening had occurred, they cou
an opportunity they had been a$raiting.

Councilwoman o'Mahony thought the present procedure was fine, there
is no use in holding people's hands throughout the process; if they
are interested they will be watching carefully for an opening.
However, she would like to see the next opening for a restaurant
space be given to the strangers.
Mayor Lembi asked that staff develop procedures for restaurant
permits and bring them to the next study meeting for council review.
RESOLUTION 71-90 ADOPT]NG APPROPRIATION LIMIT FOR ].990-9], AND
RESOLUTION 72-90 ADOPTING 1,990-91 BUDGET
city Manager reviewed his memo of June 7 \"rhich recommended council
hold a public hearing and take action. Due to the passage of
Proposition 111 which revises the spending limit, we may need to
revise the appropriation limit later in the year based on new
formulas and indexes. The council reviewed the budget at the June 5
study meeting and made recommendations for the community funding forthis year which increased the budget $4,100. The total 1990-9L
budget is $28,958,290 and is up 5.7 percent over last year.

Eldon Luce, director of cID, thanked council for its support with
community groups funding; they serve 40 Burlingame residents.
John KeIIy, Samaritan House, thanked council for its support and
noted the number of needy people they serve is growing; he realized
the city has a limited budget but he hoped council would consj.der
increasing the amount donated next year. He invited council to
attend an event on JuIy 9 when they will serve dinner to the needy
from their ne$, kitchen.
Lois Almen, HIP, also thanked council and agreed that Burlingame
should consider giving more to community groupsi she reviewed larger
amounts she received from other cities.

in notification, only those properties adjacent to the creek would
be notified and only those within 300 feet on either side of the
appl-icant along the creek banks or between the applicant and the
nearest cross street, whichever is Iess.
Councilman Pagliaro wanted the notification process to include allproperties within 300 feet or between the applicant and the nearest
cross street, whichever is greater. Council agreed.

hearing was closed.

SECOND READING - ORDINANCE 1413 - ADOPTING THE 1988 UN]FORM FIRE
CODE WITH AMENDMENTS
city Manager reviewed the Fire Department's memo of May 30 which
recommended council hold a public hearing and adopt the ordinance.
Council had reviewed this ordinance at the May study meeting. A
number of amendments to the code are proposed, one of the most
important changes and the most restrictive would be the one which
requires lowering the sprinkler requirements in all structures from
7,500 square feet to 5,000 square feet. When a major remodel takes
place sprinklers must be installed if the remodel exceeds $50,000 or
would affect over 40 percent of the square footage of the structure.

requirements will be removof providing for a sprinkl

LIBRARY BOARD APPLICATION PERIOD EXTENDED

determine whether to extend the application period for two vacancies
on the Library Board. Three applications have been received,
including one incumbent. council directed that the application
period be extended until June 30 and asked that the newspapers
advertise these openings .
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND MANAGEMENT LETTER FOR YEAR ENDING 6/30/89
city Manager reviewed his memo of June 6 which recommended council
accept the Financial Statements and Management Letter for the fiscal
year which ended June 30, 1989. on May 15 the Audit Committee
composed of Councilwoman otMahony, Councilman Harrison, city
Treasurer, Finance Director and City Manager met with represent-
atives of KPMG Peat Marwick to discuss the audit. This audit took
five months longer to complete due to the finance computer conver-
sion. Staff has reviewed the eight suggestions for improvement in
the auditor's management letter and concur with the suggestions, the
Finance Director's response to the suggestions was attached to the
staff report. City Manager complimented the Finance Director and
his staff for the efforts. Councilwoman OrMahony also complimented
the Einance staff, particularly Linda Lee, Accountant, and Mary
Bartolussi, the new accounting technician.
Councilman Harrison moved to accept the Financial Statements and
Management Letter. seconded by councilwoman o'Mahony and carried
unanimously by voice vote.
COUNCIL OF MAYORS/PENINSULA DIVIS] ON CONSOLIDATION
Mayor Lembi acknowledged the memo from the Council of Mayors with a
questionnaire on consolidation of the Council of Mayors with the
Peninsula Division of the League of California Cities. Council
agreed with most all the questions; the issue of a city manager
belonging on the council of Cities was discussed, the City Manager
\^,as concerned about city managers having to prepare policy papers,
he noted that city managers meet before a Council of Mayors meeting
to discuss the issues on the agenda; the question about cities
cooperating with the county could be turned to the county cooperat-
ing with cities; they agreed that County supervisors should be
invited to attend the meetings, if they pay their way.
PARK AND RECREAT]ON SURVEY/BAYSIDE PARK SOILS TESTING
City Manager reviewed his memo of June L3 which recommended council
review the proposed park and recreation facilities survey as part of
the next Recreation brochure, and the testing that would be needed
to determine the feasibility of development or sale of Bayside Park.
The Public works Director has contacted consultants reqarding cost
of testinq and preparing a report on Bayside Park, the estimated
cost \"rould be f rom $50,000 to $75,000.
Councilman Pagliaro did not want to undertake the cost of testing
Bayside Park. He suggested two additional questions for the survey,(L) ask if public supports the replacement of facilities at Bayside
Park with facilities in the Rollins Road area; and (2) would public
vote for a bond issue to support such a park project to be paid by
tax payers over a 20 or 30 year period.
Councilman Harrison agreed not to proceed with testing of Bayside
Park. He wondered about specifying the RoIIins Road areai if people
see this specific spot they will expect something there; in the San
Mateo Times a Ietter to the editor said the council is planning this
and asked people if they supported cuts in other services to fund a
new park.
Councilwoman Barton also opposed the soils testing. She could not
agree to add these questions to the survey because they were too
specific. She wouLd l-ike input from citizens but not discussing howto finance. The letter to the editor is correct, the council is
discussing but not letting the people know about it, people have
right to the facts. councilman Harrison said this commissioner who
wrote the letter did know the facts, and he let the public know.
Councilwoman o'Mahony supported the two questions about interest in
RoIIins Road area and if they are willing to pay over 20-30 year
period, we are just trying to get the feeling of the people. She
would like to see questions about support for a nine hole golf
course and about a senior citizens building, not a senior additionto the recreation center.
Councilwoman Barton was concerned about how many people would really
see this questionnaire, some people don't look at the Recreation
Brochure. This questionnaire should go out with r.rater biIIs; we
need to get an answer to something so important; the citizens have
the right to know; look what happened to City of San Mateo, theybuilt a senior center and canrt afford to staff it; she wantedquestionnaire sent out with water bills so it would be read by every
household.
Councilman Pagliaro said if council is realIy concerned and wants
answers it should put the question on the ballot. councilwoman
Barton agreed.
Mayor Lembi said the proposed questionnaire is to give council some
feedback; he guaranteed that the owners of the Hiram walker sj.te are
not sitting back waiting to see what council is going to do, thesite is sold or cLose to being sold right now; he did not favor
investigation of the Bayside Park soils; and he objected to the
commissioner letter in the newspaper. Councilvroman Barton said
council has been discussinq this issue, it has talked about spending
45
46
Councilman Harrison requested Councilman Pagliaro again state hisquestions for addition to the questionnaire. Councilman Harrison
agreed to adding those questions, sending a notice in water billthat the questionnaire is in the Recreation brochure and the
importance of responding. City Manager informed council that space
on water bills is limited to about 30 words; he also said that the
Recreation Director had proposed a question about a golf course andthe City Manager had vetoed j-t because the Water Quality Board willnot aIlow the watering a golf course requires upon a closed sanitarylandfill. Councilwoman o'Mahony suggested a separate mailing for
the questionnaj.re. Staff reviewed various surveys done by nearbycities, costs and responses received. The Recreatlon brochure also
goes to residents of Hillsborough, council recommended names and
addresses be added to the questionnaire to be sure respondents are
residents of Burlingame .
Councilman Pagliaro moved to approve sending the questionnaire in
the Recreation brochure requiring respondents address with his twoquestions added and the addition of a question on a senior building,
and to send a reminder on the water bills. seconded by councilwoman
o'Mahony, carried 4-1 on voice vote, Councilwoman Barton voting no.
REOUEST FOR EXTENDING TRAFFIC ALLOCATION FOR HIRAM WALKER SITE
City Planner reviewed her memo of June L4 which recommended council
review the request and give direction. Representatives of Hiram
walker have requested a 30 day extension to the requirement of
paying one-half the bayfront development fee and the fee for prepar-
ation of an EIR so they can pursue the retail warehouse use at 1645
Rolfins Road. The applicants were granted a traffic allocation on
May 21 and have until June 21 to pay fees. They request an exten-sion until July 21 in order for a party interested in purchasing theproperty to complete feasibility studies prior to finalizing sale.
Councilman Harrison moved approval of a 30 day extension. Seconded
by Councilwoman O'Mahony, carried unanimously by voice vote.
CONSENT CALENDAR
Councilman Pagliaro requested removal of item rrd, fire stationarchitect services" and Councilwoman o'Mahony had a question on item
" j, PSEA employee contract.!l
Councilman Pagliaro objected to the cost of the proposed architect
contract; they would be making about L0 percent of the project cost
whereas on a commercial project an architect makes about 6 percent
of the project costi he wondered if the contract requires they
perform on-site inspection services during construction.
Director of Public Works reviewed the duties included for the
architect in the contract, that the project has been negotiated andwill include six studies of other fire station projects, and
workshops with the Fire Department, that staff will probably hire a
construction management firm; the contract fee mentioned is a
maximum fee, the project should come in under that cost. Having
separate day-to-day construction management is better because the
construction management firm has no built in bias as the archi-
tectural firm might have. Mayor Lembi agreed it is best to have an
outside construction management firm; this amount is a maximum and
staff will stay on top of it to keep costs down. Councilman
Pagtiaro asked that a separate vote be taken on this item.
Councilwoman o'Mahony commented on item "j the Public Service
Employees Association labor agreement.rr The contract proposes to
exchange the Lincoln Birthday holiday for the Marti.n Luther King Day
holiday; she wondered what this would do to other employee groups
who have not compteted labor agreement negotiations. Staff reviewed
that most citizens expect city haIl to be closed on Martin Luther
King Day and they also expect us to be open on Lincoln holiday;
other empLoyee groups such as fire and police are not affected by
these holidays. The item was returned to the consent calendar.

ways of doing this vrj-thout spending any money.

OLD BUSINESS

xemove signs posted on trees, she gets lots of complaints about
this. One of her neighbors suggested fining people who do this,
since they post a sign with their address, it is easy to find them.
Late council Meetings3 Councilman Pagliaro suggested that if it
appears a hearing would not begin until 11:00 p.m., council carry
the hearinq over to the next meeting. Councilwoman orMahony
suggested we start meetings earlier at 7:00 p.m. councilwoman
Barton thought that might be too early for people who work in San
Francisco. Mayor Lembi suggested council discuss this issue further
at a study meeting.
Rollins/Broadway intersection: Councilman Harrison suggested that
there be a "no right turn on red!' sign on Broadway heading south-
