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.

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. 5.

A new project could be started \"'ithout a year's delayifsubstantial].yaltered.Councilactionwasnotnecessary at this evening's meeting. Mayor Harrison stated his original intention v/as to ask for ,.-.k d"I.y so that he coulal confer with Council and members commun j-ty about altering the station. However, he felt that petition did not represent the will of all the City's people ind "t.t"d he woufd support a motion for a speci-aI election' a twoof the the Cormcilman Amstrup stated he opposed the specj'a1 election because he saw no reason to spend the tixpayer's money on one when the matter could go to a regular election. Councilman Mangini opposeil waiting for a regular election' He thought that ii tne mitter was set for a regular election and the facti properly presented, a vote in favor of the presently proposed statioir *is posiiUte. In this case the long delay would mean more waste of money. councilman Amstrup stated Finance Director had given him figures of approximatefy -$31,000 realized from rental on the police station site anl 5135,OOO interest received. Thus the City had made about $165,000 on the unspent appropriation' councilman Crosby then quoted Finance Director's figures which 405 showed that about $86,000 had been spent on architectrs fees,so that the City actuafly had made a net of $80,000. By theanother study is made, another $86,000 will have been spent. opposed delay until a general election. time He Councilman Martin stated many different figures had been presentedin the last few months, and if the matter went to a specialelection, he would become actively invol-ved. fn Councilman Manginirs opinion thespecial election on whether or notwas desired by the voters. petition clearfy indicated athe proposed police station Councilman Amstrup repeated waiting until asave $8,000 in election fees was sensible. general election to Cormci lman Martin pointed out the issue at hand was not, "DidBurlingame need a police station?", but rather "Did Burlingameneed a $2,000,000 police station?', He consj-dered that Uy ifrevery action of presenting the matter to the public for a vote thepolice station project would automatically f;i1. He preferred tosee the action of the council rescinded rather than go to an election. Mayor Harrison hras convinced. that if thethe public would favor a police station.matter went to an election 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. Hequestioned use of space in the basement to repiir parking meters. Councilman Mangini reminded tlr.

This had been reported to the Council. present that ago to considerthat a newthe present 406 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 407 408 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. Iv1r. Harry Graham,of the action ofin a positive and 1-22 4 Btrlingame Avenue, expressed his approvalCouncil and thought the issue could now proceed. economic way.

RESOLUTION NO. 58-77 - "SUSPENDING RESOLUTION NO. 50-76 AND FIXING AND ESTABLISHING WATER RATES, CHARGE S AND RELATED PROCEDURES" was introduced by Cor:ncilman Crosby who moved its 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, te rms .

CONVENTION CENTER City Attorney, referencing his memo of July 14, 1977 and attached mj-nutes of special meeting of July 12, 1977 , stated he considered the City was at the point where National Feasibility should bepaid for the work on the feasibility study and commented Mr. Silverton would like to proceed as soon as possible on the revisedfeasibili-ty study for the 210 rooms. He noted fetter of July 13, 1977 from Otis Young, president of National Feasibility relative to gualifications of Mr. Arch Fisher, vj-ce president of NationalFeasibility and supervisor of any negotiations with contractingentiti-es.

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.

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.
