WAGE NEGOTIATIONS Mayor Crosby announced that at the executive session immediately preceding this meeting there had been discussion of adopting the wage proposal to the Burlingame Civil Service Employeesr Assoc-iation of January L2, L979, with the deletion of the provisions forpart-time employees, without the concurrence of the Employees' Association. Mr. Coleman added that he wished to make it c1ear, for the record, that the unil-ateral action is in accordance with the Council's legal authori-ty under the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act, after a city council has met and conferred in good faith. The Council'snegotiator, Mr. Ward, had met a number of times with representatj-ves of the Employeesr Association. The Employees' Association has taken votes, but it has been unable to get a majority of their entire membership to agree on a proposal, although there was a substantial majority of votes cast each time a proposal was presented. It was his advice that the City had fulfilled its obligation to meet and confer. The proposal referred to is basically the same as that agreed to by the Police, Fire and Administrators' units. Council- man Martin pointed out that the votes of the Employees' Association had a substantial plurality in favor of the proposal, although not a majority vote of the membership. Councilman Martin moved that the proposal offered to the Burlingame Civil Service Employeesr Association dated January 12, 1-979, with the part-time employee benefits deleted, be unil-ateraIly adopted according to the provisions of the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act, negotj-- ations having been conducted by the City in good faith. The motion was seconded by Councilman Amstrup and was passed on unanimous roll call vote. 2. JOINT LAND USE Councilman Martin referred to a letter from Mr. Dick Heath of the Airports Commission to members of the Joint Powers Board, and to the Environs Area Issues and Opportunitj-es, Technical Memo No. IF.8 which he has asked Mr. Yost to obtain for Council-. He asked Council to examine both documents and determine whether a special Council meeting should be held to consider whether or not the letter and Phase I report indicate a need to redirect the original scope of the work because of a reassessment of objectives. His positi-on before the Airport Land Use Commission and Board of Control is that work stop until such a reassessment is made. 3. COUNCIL OF MAYORS Mayor Crosby reported there wil-I be an organization meeting Legislative Committee of the Council of Mayors on Saturday, 10th.

Selection of a specific plan Councilman Amstrup referred to the staff memorandum of issues andrecommendations for consideration in selecting a specific planfor the Anza Area. Mr. Kirkup reported the fatest fj-gures from Drachman Associates show that on more precise calculation thetraffic generation will be lower and. traffic constraints lesstight. The result is that offi ce,/warehouse use is not requiredand floor area ratio of 0.90 can continue to be used. The recom-mendation is for a 2o-year build out for hotef/restaurant and10-year build out for commercial uses. Mr. yost emphasized thatthough selection is necessarily based on the best informationavailable at the present time, flexibility and modification assituations develop, based on monitored densj.ties, traffic andmarket demand, will be needed in the future. Mr. David Keystonrequested consideration of hotel development outside the Anzalands to meet the 1,200 to 1,500 room build out. Mr. Kirkup andMr. Yost responded that though their recommendation incl-udedinterchange of hotel-restaurant uses, it is important that thedesignated sites be reserved for those two uses until futuremarket is determined. For that reason up to a l0-year interimpark and f1y use appears to be viable. Both plans 2 and 4 pro-vide for the 608 public oriented uses and 408 private conmerciaf development recomroended by staff; however plan 4 more closelyapproaches the conunitments afready made by Anza in selling prop- erti-e s .
