Mr. Keyston agreed, and stated that thearchitect had another suggestion, that of using ICORTANTT metaL, which rusts naturally, for the roof. It rusts to a reddish brown, and would be ipproprtate in this setting. Councilman Martln confirmed the use of this nraterial on part ofa church in this area, adding that it rusts in the first year and does not glve a reflective shlne. Councilwoman Barton questtoned if this type of material v'roulddetract from the design. Mr. Don 01son, architect for the project, addressed Council . He stated his first choice for the roof would be galvanized iron.It will weather to a light gray, and since the building ftself would have cedar sidtng and would be surrounded by landscaping,it would not be a heavy, dark structure. The transite would bea brighter, Lighter color, and the next best would be CORTAN, which would produce a darker roof. Other possibltities would becedar shakes or anodized alumtnum. The shakes, howeve!, would beout of character for thls oldtime type of buildtng.

OLD BUSINESS BA YFRONT STUDY AREA DIRECTIONS TO BLAYNEY City Planner addressed Council on this subject the last meetinB CounciL had voted to include idential develolment in the Blayney study but number of units- per acle.

He direction, stating Mr. Blayney has asked for a .He 22.4 had n tudy layneial w asked s Pec stated that at acres for re s-ot specified the committee hady Associates had ith an averagefor Counc illfic number. councilman Mangini questioned tf council would be committed to a "urU"i if specYfied.' City Planner stated they would not, since this is a study. \ L73 Councilwoman Barton stated she woutd prefer a smaller number of units, but she would go along wlth 32 unlts per acre with the understanding that thls is just a study and the Council has not made any decision on residential in that area. It was the opinion of most of Council that 32 units per acre could be used for purposes of the study. Councilman I'{a rt in dld not participate in the discusston on this item because of possible conflict of interest. BUDGET CounciLman Martin explained that the cost to Local Bay-Area *.ni "naer this plan'- the direct cost - is less than $L,00vear. Most of that has to do wlth the increased street swe 6osts for the surface runoff Program. The addittonal costs environmenEal plan are baslcally costs that are already plc mostly by the Federal Government and by ttre State goYernmen matching- funds from local agencies. Fbr instance, all revi of sewei plans are included in those -ftgures. These glalls ready beiirg made. For example, _ the _joint sewer outfall Lin South San Francisco is a 4 irillion dollar grant (a Clean Wa grant). The Councilman spoke, of the many groups which are. ile.,t ihat this plan, revi3ed by the ExecutLve 9ogt9.ln Apri the one that shbuld-be adopEd. These included COLAB, the of Women Voters, the Callfbrnla Council on the Economy,and -onment, and at ieast five Bay area counclls. He considered cities which have taken a stand agatnst the plan on the pri of rejecting mandated control are using the wrong strategy the Ciean ALr Act -a-nd the Clean Water Act are La!r, and the must be v,rritten. If the citles do not do it, then the Stat Federal governments will. He commented that if Mrs. Gotell written Ehis lett"r in December he would have been in full ment with her, but he did endorse the plan-that was revised April . gove rn- 0,000 a epingin the ked upt with s ionsare aI- e toterin agree-l, is League Env ir- that nctple because p laneori had agree- ln Councilman Martin asked that the next study meeting, Wednesday nlght, June 7, be given over entirely to discussion of the budget in-view of the lmpending Jarvls/Gann declsion and the necessity for fast action on policies for the budget. Councilman Amstrup addressed Counctl as budget chairman. He agreed that the study meeting shoutd be devoted entireLy to budeet discussion. He noted the complexity of the situation be- "rui" . "bare bones" budget has alreidy-beEn developed and even that could be changed by what will happen at the State level as a result of the elEctioir. A policy diiiston must be made; then each Councilman would be gtven the budget of a certain dePartment to consider, after which is many public hearings as necessary wilL be held. lle noted that if Propostion 8 passes there is still the necessity to get the budget out by August. This will not be nec- essary under Jarvis/Gann. Mayor Crosby and balance of Council agreed to confine discussion at the stud, meeting to the budget, with the excePtion of a brief presentation, already promised, by the Sister Clty Committee. ENVIRONMENTAL I.,IANAGEMENT PI.AN CounciL had received letter, undated, from Violet F. GoteLIi, State President, A.W.A.R.E ., L299' Baysho.re..Highwg)r, requesting that the Citv reorisentative of ASAC vote "no" on thls plan, citing loss of locil cbntrol with great Local financial tesponsibllity. Councilwoman Barton questioned ABAG representative, Councilman t'lriti.r, if he would be voting on June 10. He affirmed he would be, and shi then questioned r,rhere the money for this plan would come from. L74 Councilwoman Barton remarked that she vJas because of the letter but because of thevoted against the plan. She wondered ifinformation. concerned not so muchthree cities that hadthis Council had enough CounciLman Martin reviewed that his instructions from Council when this_ plan was last discussed were not to vote no on the planbut to make every effort to revise the plan to conform to therecommendations of the Clty l"tranagers in San Mateo County. Thisincluded the County and all managers as a group. Every item theyrequested has been adopted with one exception, which was a matterof sernantics. This last must be cleared up on June 10. Asidefrom that, there are 23 items that San Matio County had asked for and alL have been accepted. This included everything t'hey wanted,everything that Contra Costa County wanted, and almost everythingthat Santa Clara County !{anted. So the plan ba s ica't'Iy is f -ine, whlch is why these groups support it. Councilman Amstrup commented he understood Councilman Martinrs statement that this revised plan is the one that should be adopted. However, he noted no one \dants to talk about having no plan at allor having a lirnited plan. Obviously, it is felt that a plan must be written or the State or Federal Government will write it. He considered that this is blackmail, and stated he objected to beingplaced in a position by State and FederaL gove rnment s where it isI'either/or. "^ He questioned when the time iould come when local governments lrould not have to endure this. Councilman Martin remarked this is why the Executive group of ABAG had asked Representative Ryan for House subcommittee hearings, which will be held ln the area on the 23rd and 24th of June. He repeated these Acts are law, and ABAG is trying to get the bestplan it can under them. Councilwoman Barton stated she thought ABAG was another additional Layer of government, and questioned how much money is being spentfor it. Councilman Martin replied he had given that information at a pre- vious Council meeting and dld not recall the exact figures. Councilman Amstrup questioned if the Bay area was a test area. Councilman Martin stated that everyone must meet the requirementsof the Clean Air and Clean Water Act. The Solid Waste part of the plan has been deleted. He added that under the Clean Air Act the area must meet certain requirements by a certain time. Some of these requilements cannot be met by Local governments, i.e. inspec-tion of autos and a series of other requirements. The Councilmanthen reviewed some of the processes and trade-offs by which the plan would be made more manageable for the clties. Councilman Anstrup asked if there were any other area that has a rnanagement plan to this extent. replied that there is no question ours ls theI areas have the same date to meet, January L, an, for example, is about a nonth behind that ofy 1, 1978 the plan must be sent to the State forthat in a great many cases the cities are not the State is.

Councilman Martin remarked that Marin County withdrew from ABAG L75 so that they liouad nof b- suEj€ct to tne Ffan-. However, they found out they were sti1l subject to it, since the Acts are national law. ABAG is not a Layer of government - it is an association of local governments which has been worklng to revise the plan. He addedthat the change in the plan from December, L977 to the pLan in April , 1978 is startling; and obviousl_1t local government officials aettng through ABAG had a tremendous effect on it. He added cities are mandated constantly by State and Federal Governrnent plans and must meet their requirements. Councilwoman Barton protested that this was the problem. Local governments seem to make no objections to mandates and just go alongwith them. Councilman Martin replied that the cities have no choice - they must go along with the law. The only way this can be changed is to changethe Iar,r. Councilwoman Barton noted that it sttll costs the cities money to obey the Law, and that to keep ABAG gotng ls another cost. Councilman Martin stated Ehat obviously that is one way the law isgoing to be changed, because people are going to realize hor,r much money it is costing. lle added that the portion of ABAG that !,,rotethe plan did so at no cost to the City, but under a Federal grant. The amount of dues the City pays to ABAG is relatively small andbasicalLy covers certatn administrative ABAG costs. ABAG is alsothe planning agency for the Air Resources Boatd and others, whicheffectively puts planning in one place. ABAG staff fluctuates, depending upon availability of funds from Federal State and private grant s . Councilman Amstrup emphasized that he would like to have this re-port come out and say that the area has complied, but still objectsto being manipulated. He suggested a report from ABAG stating ineffect, 'V. have done what you wanted; now, back off and let us runour own area . " Councilman Martin pointed that is what ABAG has done alreadying for subcornmittee hearings to be held, because they thinkAct is too severe. Councilman l{angini asked if an a8ency like ABAG were not a require ment for screening before any entity can get Federal funds. CounciLman Martin stated that there must be a screening agency some- place within a region before. any Federal grant of any kind can begiverJ. The Federal Government has accepted the existing region of ABAG's 9 counties as such an agency.
