4. CONGRESS OF ELECTED OFFTCIAIS OF SAN MATEO COUNTY: REOUESTFOR SUPPORT OF E)GCUTTVE COMMITTEE PROJECTS TO CONTROL COSTS AND
RE DUCE DUPLICATION
Mayor Harrison pointed out that these two requests coul-d beconsidered together since they are opposing views of these twoagencies. Statement of Contra Costa Water Agency emphasized needto prevent mass export of Delta fresh water is propolea by Statewater Project and centrar valrey project. Rationaie for |reventionof this export until suqported by moie study is increase in naypolrution from rack of fresh water frushing action, with resul-tantdamage to agriculture, industry, mr:nicipal users and wild 1ife.
Councilman Mangini guestioned if the Council should take sideson an action of this type; adding that he would favor the ContraCosta County position.
Mayor Harrison and Counci lman Martin agreed with this position.
Mayor llarrison cornmented that the Department of Waterrequested an opportunity to present their arguments.this could be the other side of the coi-n.
Councilman Martin moved that the Council supportthe Contra Costa County Water Agency. Secona bymotion carried unanimously.
counci] had received communication of J.cr:,e 27, 1977 from the executivecommittee of this congress urging adoption of a resol-ution directingCity staff to work with the Congress iask Forces to provide theCongress information necessary to complete their tasks, andagreeing to support the communications portion of the CongressBudget, for 2 years. Communication attiched a suggested icheduleof contribution by County cities.
There was some question as to the election of this executivecomrnittee, and j-t was determj_ned the City had not participated.
Council-man Amstrup noted the contribution list included not onlyan amount from the City of Burlingame but also an amount from
the City's Recreation Department. This was considered an error.
Councilman Mangini considered the proposal had merit, and
Burlingame's financial share was not exorbitant for two years.
However, he questioned the cost of the staff time and wanted more
detail of the operation, as did Counci lman Crosby.
Cor:ncilman Martin was willj-ng to go along with the program, with
reservations, for the time being.
councilman Amstrup noted that money as well as staff time was involved
and feared that while the cost was sma11 to start, the program
could be expanded into a much more costly operation.
Mayor Harrison directed city Manager to research more information
and amount of staff tj-me necessary. with Council concurrence, he
scheduled further consideration of this proposal for the next
Council meeting.

Mr. Leroy s. we1ch, r41 costa Rica, told council he had canvassedfor the petition and the great majority of people he had taffeato were definitely opposed to a nehr police ltalion. He statedhe had toured the police station, "n-d there was no question itneeded improvements. He suggested the formati.on of a committeeto consider what could be done with it at the present site.

Cor:ncil-man tunstrup agreed this had been the decision of the
_corunittee but pointed out that circumstances and opinions change.He cited, as an exampLe, the availability of the pLst Office.
Mr. Ben Hechinger, 1025 Cabri11o, questioned why meter repairwas being done in the poJ-ice station and who does the rep;iring.He noted this takes space and seems a more appropriate job for-the public works department. police chief reporled trrai. a trainedmaintenance man does this repair work and that less than 100 sF isdevoted to this effort. He stated the maintenance man came to thePolice Department over 10 years ago because there was no room inthe Public Works Department.
Mrs. Natalie Lanam, 1369 Columbus, addressed Council, stating shewas one of the citizenry who felt that they did not have afl ofthe facts. and suggested further d.iscussi-on on the police station.she_was disturbed by councilman Martin's remark about differencesrn tl-gures. She had made a tour of the police station and wasappalled at its condition, finding it inafficient and smarl . parkingarea is bad and the station itseli is not the type a city of tfri"size.and sophistication should have. She suggeiLed thepossibility of a citizens' cofiunittee; noting fh".e apparently wasno citizens' input on the original commi-ttee. she did not favor aspeciaf election for the proposed amount, nor a general eLectionwhich would make it a politi-al issue.
counci-lman Martin explained that his remark about different figureswas based on two different articles in two different newspapersin the last three weeks. He went on to say that until foirr monthsago he and another councirman had tried to compromise on the issue;but at that time the rest of the Council had mide the decisionthey did not wish to compromise.
Counci ]man Mangini pointed out that for the record the majority
of the Council had brought down the size of the police station,trying for unanimity, a nunber of times.
Gloria Barton, 734 Winchester Drive, spoke as secretary of the
referendum committee. She stated concerns of petitioners as thesplit Council decision on an expenditure of this amount, conflicting
statements on the issue, and the credibility gap as to the financial
positj-on of the City. She acknowledged the definite need for
improvement on the present police station, and thought it would be
unfortunate if the project were voted out. She suggested the
Council- get together on a suitable project.
Counci lman Mangini asked Finance Director if the City could
afford to pay for a police station. Finance Director replied
he had gj-ven the fiqure of $1,750,000 as available, but added
there were certain undertakings the City woufd then have to forego.
The Councilman asked if this money were available without raising
taxes. The Finance Director affirmed it was.
Counci Iman Martin stated these questions were ove rsimp Ii f j-ed;
investigation of financial condition would take more time and it
was not pertinent at the moment.
Gustave James Fehlhaber, 2505 Easton Drive, addressed Council
as cochairman of the petition committee. On behaff of the
committee, he stated they did not favor a special election and
preferred the issue be either rescinded or go to the General
election. He identified the issue as financial , not the need for
a police station, and conmented that an election would force citizens
to take sides.
RECESS
After a short recess at 9:05 the meeting reconvened at 9:I0.
Councilman Crosby, stating he was acting in a spirit of cooperation
and unanimity, moved that Council rescind its action of May 18,
1977 directing architects Ehrlich,Heft and Rominger to prepare
detaifed working drawings and specifications with various alternates
on a 19,000 SF building.
Cor:nci lman Martin questioned if the architect would be paid for
his work to date, and what is to happen to the preliminary plans
which the City now has. City Attorney replied architect should
be paid and that the recision meant that for a year the city
could not build the police station contemplated in the preliminary
plans. However, other proposals could be developed. He quoted
several court cases in support of this ruling.
Councilman Martin suggested that there be some clarification by
individual mendcers of the Council as to exactly what this recision
means to them. He stated that to him it meant the Council would
forget about the particular building that was planned for.Carolan
Avenue, and if the Council is to proceed with police station efforts,
it will go back to square one; that all possibilities be explored
including the post office; and if the Carolan Avenue site is
considered, new plans be developed.
Councilman Mangini stated he intended to vote for this motion with
the intent that the five members of the Council would agree on
what is needed for a police station that witl be functional until
the year 2,000. He was willing to join a unanimous council. If
they decided a police station was not needed, he would agree- af
they decided it was needed, he would join any motion that Presents
a unified force for the benefit of the City.
Councilman Crosby stated his concern was that the Council as a
unanimous body not be precluded from pursuing other proposals
and different facets of them, whether on Carolan Avenue or at the
present or another site. City Attorney confirmed that Council
would not be restricted from new proposals.
Cor:ncilman Amstrup agreed that it was necessary to Iook at aIl

new proposals, and not simply go back to the Carolan Avenue
project at the end of the year.
Cor:ncilman Mangini again stated he was interested
pl-an to improve police facilities that would gain
the Council.
in some kind of
unanimity on
Mayor Harrison stated he would also support the motion to rescind
but not because he saw less of a need for a police facility orless of a need for the proposed one on Carofan. His support was
because Council had argued for many rnonths about this issue andit had hampered them as a legislative body. He considered thatdifferences were healthy j-n a democracy, but when a check must be
made of the City to cl-arify an issue, it is time to start fromthe beginning again. He hoped members could work together as aCouncil in harmony as had been the case for many years beforethis issue.

AND FIXING AND ESTABLISHING WATER RATES, CHARGE S AND RELATED

adoption. Second by Councilman Mangini.
Counci lman Martin comrnented the electorate should be informed
of the reasons for the increase in water rates incorporated in
this resolution. He explained that while the public had been
asked to decrease vrater consumption by 288, actual decrease had
been 528. Because of decrease in consumption, revenue had fallen
below the point necessary to support the water Department operation.
Eor this reason rates must be increased. He termed this a
"Catch 22" situation, but pointed out the increase is to take care
of the 288 decrease the City had required. The other 24t is being
absorbed by the City, and is almost as much as the raise in rates
to the puflic. He urged that people continue their water conservation
efforts.
Mr. Leroy Wetch again addressed Council, commenting that many
people have underestimated their al-lotments because they are
,-"61e to read water meters. He suggested extensive publicity
in newspapers giving this information.
Council concurred in this idea, with Councilman Martin suggesting
information be written by a person unfamj-liar with mechanics so
that it could be explained in simple, rather than technical,

City Treasurer stated he was opposed to proceeding on the revisedfeasibility study until much more j-nformation had been obtainedon the financial aspects, such as the amount of investment thedeveloper will put into the corporation. He noted EIR informationhas not been considered and suggested further discussion. CityAttorney agreed this information was necessary, but felt thefeasibility study need not wait on it; and stated the EIR doesnot change the effect of the feasibility study.
Cor:ncilman Martin questioned this latter statement. City Attorneystated the draft EIR contained alternatives, one of which wasquite a departure.
Council-man Martin said he had problems relating to some of thisinformation, i.e. statement that lease drafted was only forIRS purposes, that EIR will not change feasibility. He did notfault City Attorney or other staff for such statements; but sincehe would have to vote on the issue, he wanted to examine the EIRand its effect on the project. He pointed out that if EIR ischanged another feasibility report must be made. He noted theCity wilt ultimately pay for all of these expenditures either bybond sale or tax increment financing, and suggested progressbe made more care fuI1y.

He _added that some questions Council had might be answered byinformation contained in minutes of meeting of July 12, lg7j.
Councilman Martin pointed out there were questions he had askedmonths ago which are not yet resolved - he had not seen a finallease and he might have questions on the feasibility study thathad to do with the final lease and the EIR.
Counci lman Amstrup suggested that questions be listed and givento the City Attorney to research and gj,ve answers.
Councilman Martin commented he di_d not have the documentation toask questions on. City Attorney commented bond counsel is working
