ROLL CALL M I NUTES PRESENTATION L67 He stated Mr. Grubert had presented rent increases 3-4 days before he legally owned the property, and made no concession to long termresidents who said they could not meet them. Mr. Breyer also notedthe i ncidents where the pol i ce had been cal I ed, and noted theheat had been turned off in the apartments. He stated Mr. Grubert had refused to negotiate with the attorney whom the Council hadhired, but instead had sent eviction notices to the members. Mr. Breyer noted he had been informed by the City Attorney that there was nothing in the code which would allow the City to give assistance; but he hoped that some way would be found to help these peopl e.

In response to question from the Mayor he said the Tenants Counci I was fol I owi ng correct procedure i n getti ng thei r own attorney. Counci lman Harri son ques ti oned if the al legation made was thatthe rental agreement did not conform to State code. The CityAttorney stated that apparently it did not conform, but someone inprivate Iaw practice would have to determine what the tenants'rights were and this would have to be a civil action. Councilman Crosby questioned a statement made by Mr. Breyerthat Mr. Grubert was known unfavorably to the City staff. Staffattending had no knowledge of this and the Mayor considered thisnot germane to the discussion. He told tenants' representatives it seemed they were on the ri ght cou rse of acti on, but whether theCouncil could help as an official body seemed open to question, He encouraged them to go on wi th the correct iegal process and voiced sympathy for the older people who have done so much and seemto be getti ng so little. CONSIDERATION TO POLICE STATION DEVELOPMENT COMMUNICATION FROM CHAMBER OF COMMERCE CONCERNING ABOVE. Mayor Mangini commented there would be considerable discussionforthcoming, and requested that all participants confine their remarks to the police station development. For the benefit of the audience he reviewed progress to date, noting that and money already spent, there still have not beenestablished on what the City realIy wants in terms which would serve for the next 25 years.

The petitionstated: "Ue, the undersigned, do hereby endorse the plans prepared a, 168 by the Ad Hoc Parking Committee and urge that your City Council give favorable approval of these plans and take the necessary steps to augment its recommendations." Mr. Ebner went on record as presentingthis petition to the City Clerk. He requested Council considerationof two proposals, one by the Ad Hoc Burlingame Parking Committee, and the other by the Burlingame Business Association.

He noted it appears the proponents are rssumingthat parking meter revenue will be available to the proiect and questi oned if Mr. Ebner real i zed this is not so. Mr. Ebner confirmed he was aware that parking meter money was not allocatedin this manner and that was why the periphery lots had been in- corporated. Councilman Amstrup questioned if there were two plans to be considered at this meeting. Mr. Ebner stated there were, and he woul d like to have Counci I consideration of both pl ans before anything is done on the proposed site. Councilman Crosby questioned if the Pol ice Department had been consulted on the layout. Mr. Ebner replied they had not been - tha t the intent of the proposal had been to show that the police s tati on could be expanded.

Mr. Harri s poi nted out that operati on of the Burl i ngame Post0ffice has undergone a major change, and the Post 0ffice building wil l be declared "surplus property." Since neither the FederaI nor I 169 Counci I man Crosby i nd i catedthat the pl an was mainly tothe pol i ce station.

By usi ng the Post 0ffi ceproperty, the existing parking lot, and the existing police station, a new structure could be bui lt to house the expanded pol i ce depart- ment and additional parking spaces. In addition a new store bui I di ng woul d be built at the i n tersect i on of Park Road and Burl i ngame Avenue, closing off Park Road except for a pedestri an walkway. !,rlide sidewalks and Iandscaping would give the effect of mal I to Park Road, Steps to be taken would be Purchase of Pos t 0ffi ce property Purchase of Jen ke l Dav i d son bui lding Erecti on of four story structure for parki ng and retai I stores al ong Park Road and Lorton.

He noted on plan for remodeling police station that floor space only was sholin; no actual floor layout, since the Ad Hoc committee did not feel it had the right to confer with the Police Separtment.This additional floor area would be I3,000 SF. Therdlrould be 4?,240of retail store areas in the parking structure and 3,600 SF morein the one story building closing up Park Road. 538 parking spaces woul d be prov i ded , a net gai n of 350 after deduction of 64 exi sti ng and ll5 for retai I stores. Mr. Harri s then presented arti st's concepti on of the proposed pl an.

Thi s woul d leave a bal ance of $3,200,000 to be funded. He proposed that the city make a contri- bution of $2,500,000 lvhich would leave a balance of $700'000 be funded by a parki ng di stri ct. Mr. Harris proposed the theory that, since the project on Caroian would cost $l,750.000, and his proiect proposed a City contribution of $2,500,000, it would still be a bargain for the City because there would be 350 additional parking spaces. In addition, the City would benefit by the receipt of $60-70,000 A annually of new tax monies and increased assessed values of down- town property would create more revenue. Benefits to citizens woul d i ncl ude more attracti ve shoppi ng envi ronment, improvedtraffi c fl ow and rel i ef of parki ng congesti on.

He added that the statement that Burlingame would be in line to purchase the property was the resul t of commi ttee i nput.

Mr. Harris indicated this wasa proposal to consi der i nstead of wai ti ng unti I the government takes action. came that Councilman Crosby questioned if itof the parking revenue on this proposal stated that j ust the revenue wi thi n the had been cons i dered as revenue.

He noted Hillsborough has not .7 L73 yet been consulted. He approved Counci lman Harrison's point that the City should get alternate costs for the plan the City has now; and he did not think it would take as long as 5 months to get accurate figures. He wanted all of the alternatives uith accurate costs to come to Council, suggesting that by the time that is done there will be a better figure on how much money is available from the Ci ty, Counci lman Marti n agreed that constructi on costs are goi ng up, but consi dered it woul d be better to let them go up and get accurate costs for an ideal situation from the standpoint of cost, utility, and what is best for the City. He added that getting it right on paper is a lot I ess elpensi ve than overspendi ng on the actualbuilding. The Councilman emphasized that a project such as this should have the complete unanimity of Council - not a split vote. Councilman Amstrup stated that the figures on revenue sharing would be available at the next budget neeting, and that he agreed wi th Counci lman Marti n that the facts shoul d be ascertai ned be fo re a deci s i on is reached.

Mr. Gumbinger considered that the additional cost involved in preliminary plans was well iustified from the standpOint of accurate cost figures and more detailed information. All structural detalIs such as air conditioning' acoustics, and Iighting would be explored. He considered the accuracy factor of 101 with schematics notlfactual, Councilman Harrison requested report from the City Engineer on Federal fundi ng. The City Engineer told CounciI he had contacted the Regional Director of the Economic Development Agency who had indicated they would not receive any applications until 0ctober, since new require- ments are being compiled. 0nce the application is submitted, theywill evaluate on such items as business it will create and long term benefits. 0nce an award is made, construction must start within 60 days. He indicated it would be a very competitive process since all cities in the Bay area are now in the process of working up submittals for projects. He noted the County will be preparing some data for submission to the Economic Development Agency. Hedid not think the funding was guaranteed and suggested the possibility of deni al of I ong term projects.

Then , and then only will theCouncil have the necessary dollar information to cut and delete asthe Counci i and its experts see f it. Mayor Mangini questioned the time schedule, and CouncilmanHarrison replied that the original resolution provided for the time schedule. There was no second to the moti on and it fai I ed. Counci lman Marti n questi oned the proced ures rel ati ve toFederal grants, s tati ng it had been his experience that all f unds were diverted to a regional office and al locations made accordingto the judgment of that office. He cited generous award of HUDfunds in San Franci sco in comparison to this a rea. He was doubtfulif there would be funds available for Burlingame, and noted that even if the City authorized the architect; he started immedjately,it was doubtful if the project woul d go to bid by December.

PJt f aD Hrlting thls letter to you and the other menbers of the councll because I Bn uncble to ettenat the bearing scheduled for August 2, L976 relating to a proposed ordinance liniting the nunber of ter'os to be served by Ccomissioners to two. I want to express qy general obiections to this concept and set out By re8sons tberefor. Firstr l believe that the Clty Council already hes authority to linit tbe terms of service to any nunber of terros that the councll chooses. As you kno$ aLL Cquissiotrers are appolnteal for a terts for year6 and when that ierm e>eires they ,nay recelve a new aptr oint,ent also for a te'' for years. Tbe counctL by custou and practice coul'al indeed Iin-it the terr0s of a comissloner to tvo or to aqy other number. Thus no new leglslation is neetlefl. gecondly I oSpose any legislation r hlch tentls to inhiblt or curb the authority or- tne city councll to carry out the cLtyrs busiuess. council-oen are elecied by the people of Burl"inga'e to po!'rer in legislative duties and to set thl poticy for the City Governroent. They need aIL of the flex&bility that they "an git. the passage of such an ord iaa'nce Ljlitlng the right of the counlil to rgake its orn appoint6ents tends to linlt the flexability of the councll alal therefore tenai to defeat thelr obtaining the best poss ible governnent . Thirdly I believe that while there are Dany peopLe in the cc'munity fully sbLe io u"rrr" the c@unity es Cc@issioners rar\y present Ccmissioners Lve'devel_oped expertise rihlch the citizens of the c@unity should not ]ose. On eich of the Cc@issions of the City there are lntlividuals whose contribution to the erell being of the clty ls outstand.ing. To deprive tbe clty of the benefit of their ex;lerience is detrimental to the coonunity as a vhole. I believe that the City CounciL should reserve to ltsell the rigbt to tleterEiBe who shoulil ser-ve oE tbe CoEBissions and. for hoY. long of a period. Dea.r Sir: foutth I betieve tbat the actlon tends to restrict the abi].ity of future clty counc lls to function as they deee approprlate. Each councilran is elected for a terE of fouf yeers anal nanJr statral for electlon to succeeal hirnself if he chooses. It seens to ne thet for a present city council to linit later City Councils by such restrictive ection as passing & restrictive Orallnance ls detrlnental to the best interests of the cconunity. Iiach city counc 1I shoulal be elloweat to EEke its ovn tlecision es to Itho they went to aerve. \ \c.'.'$ \i"*1'vVll) fbe Honorable Victor l,langlnl ldayor of the CitY of Burlingane JvJy 26, L976 Prye 2 FlnaIJy f believe that one of the advantages of making it possj-ble for an lnd.ivlduaL comissj.oner to serve an ind.eterminate number of years ls that lt provides the eity government wlth continuity. One of the great advantages to a Comission is that they can draw frm the experience of Lts menbers and. apply the lessons of tbe past to the problems of the future. Thus I feel that the coneept of restrictlng the number of years that a Ccenrnlssioner ms,y senre ls deprivtng the city of the service of valuable nembers. For all- of these reasons I feel that the proposed. ordi.nance should be reJected. and. the counciL should eontlnue as lt has in the past to make lts own determination as to who should serve and for hor long they should. gerve. I urge ygu to reJeet the orclinance. SLncere3;r, BCT/cas ru**,_ TTIS{AS C.
