Agenda Item: 8a
b. UPDATE ON THE PENINSULA WELLNESS COMMUNITY
Peninsula Health Care District ("PHCD") CEO Cheryl Fama began with a brief overview of the district. She
discussed PHCD's mandate, which is to cover the health needs of the community. She stated that PHCD
bought 26 acres of land in 1950 and built the Peninsula Hospital on that site.
Ms. Fama discussed the remaining 6.42 acres of land at the site. She stated that because San Mateo
County has a large aging population, the District felt that the best way to utilize the land would be to create
the Peninsula Wellness Community ("PWC"). She reviewed the vision of the PWC:
• Seniors with mixed incomes can live independently
• New medical offices located near the hospital can provide a range of services to PWC residents and
the community at large
• Residents of all ages throughout the PHCD community can gather and participate in programs
focused on healthy and social lifestyles
• Public open space can be enjoyed by all
PMB President Jake Rohe stated that PMB is one of the team members that is working on the PWC project.
Mr. Rohe reviewed the project goals:
• Housing for a range of income levels
• A vibrant and active community
• Physical and mental wellness spaces
• Indoor and outdoor community amenities
• Medical offices and services
He stated since 1971, PMB has focused exclusively on healthcare real estate development. He added that
this project has a lot of potential to impact the community. He noted that 46% of the housing at PWC will
be affordable.
PMB Senior Vice President Ben Rosenfeld reviewed the project's timeline:
• PMB and Generations awarded the project in 2017
• MiclPen joined the project in 2018
• Three developer -led community outreach meetings, with the next one scheduled for February 8,
2023
• Preparing to submit entitlements package to the City in early 2023
• Construction scheduled to start in 2025, with a completion date of 2027
Mr. Rosenfeld displayed some of the proposed PWC site plans, which include:
• 200,000 square foot building that includes 160,000 square feet of medical offices, with the
remaining space known as "The Hub"
Meeting Date: February 6, 2023
Agenda Item: 8a
• Senior Living building will have 10% affordable housing with approximately 225 units and a retail
bistro open to the public
• Paseo connecting the site to Sutter's campus
• MidPen's 100% affordable housing building
He then displayed a 3D view of the proposed design.
Mr. Rosenfeld reviewed what has changed in the project from the original design:

35,000 to 40,000 square feet
35,000 to 40,000 square feet

Vice Mayor Colson stated that she was happy to see the increased level of affordable housing. She asked
about the levels of affordability. Mr. Rosenfeld stated that the Senior Living building's 10% affordable
housing will focus on 80% AMI. MidPen representative Andrew Bialek stated that the MidPen building will
target 50% and below AMI.
Vice Mayor Colson stated that this project came before the San Mateo County Housing and Community
Development Committee. (Vice Mayor Colson sits on this committee.) She noted that it was put at a lower
priority level for County funding because of where the project is in the process. However, she noted that as
the timeline progresses, she is sure that it will move up in priority. She added that it was exciting to see
extremely low and very low AMI targets for the housing. She asked if the housing was mostly for single
individuals. Mr. Bialek replied that it is mostly one bedroom units.
Councilmember Stevenson asked if outreach would continue once construction started. Ms. Fama replied
in the affirmative.
Councilmember Stevenson asked if transportation was included in the project. Generations representative
Chip Gabriel replied in the affirmative. He added that the project is hoping to meet the health and medical
needs of the community on the property.
Councilmember Stevenson asked if there were restrictions on the project due to the location of the Hetch
Hetchy easement. Mr. Rosenfeld replied in the affirmative and added that there are limitations on the
types of permanent structures and foundations that are allowed.
Meeting Date: February 6, 2023
Agenda Item: 8a
Councilmember Stevenson asked if Samaritan House and other existing occupants would be
accommodated within the new structure. Ms. Fama stated that the tenants have received notification
about the project. She added she didn't know how much of The Hub would be available to the nonprofit
programs like Samaritan House and AbilityPath.
Councilmember Ortiz thanked the District for the amount of affordable housing the project is expected to
create. He added that he lives a few blocks from the project site. He asked about the height of the
buildings. Mr. Rohe replied that there are multiple factors for height control such as flight path from Sutter
and local zoning regulations. He noted that there are various height levels per building, and he would need
to follow up with Council on this information.
Councilmember Ortiz asked how the February 8, 2023 community outreach meeting would be publicized.
Mr. Rosenfeld stated mailers would be sent and that they would be working with different leaders in the
community to release information.
Councilmember Ortiz asked about the meeting's location. Mr. Bialek replied that they are planning on
utilizing the City's Community Center.
Councilmember Beach thanked the developers for focusing on creating affordable housing. She asked
about the common concerns that the developers are hearing from the community. Mr. Rohe stated that
the community concerns focus on affordability and the density/scale of the building.
Mayor Brownrigg opened the item up for public comment. No one spoke.
Mayor Brownrigg thanked the District for the presentation. He stated that this project would create a lot
more pedestrians and thought the City needed to ensure that Trousdale Drive is pedestrian safe.
Councilmember Beach stated that she loved hearing the conversation around transportation support for
seniors. She added that she hopes the District considers childcare facilities as part of the project.
The Council discussed Ms. Fama's retirement. They thanked her for all her work and efforts to move this
project forward.
UPDATE REGARDING THE DECEMBER AND JANUARY STORMS
City Manager Goldman stated that as this meeting was beginning, she received an email from someone
who lives on California Drive. The individual wrote in to thank staff for being incredibly responsive.

did a lot of work to assist the community during these storms.

the storms. She noted that there were only 30 emergency calls to the Parks Department. She added that
most were for tree and branch failures on El Camino Real. She noted that there were four whole tree
failures and three landslides in Mills Canyon.
Parks and Recreation Director Glomstad stated that most of the work for her staff was after each storm.

other debris. She added that the City Arborist inspected the large Eucalyptus groves after each storm to
ensure safety.
Councilmember Ortiz asked how the Crystal Springs water releases affected the city's creeks. City Manager
Goldman replied that the releases didn't affect Burlingame creeks.

AND TO CLARIFY WASTEWATER DISCHARGE PERMIT REQUIREMENTS; CEQA DETERMINATION:
EXEMPT PURSUANT TO STATE CEQA GUIDELINES SECTIONS 15378 AND 15061(b)(3)
7
Meeting Date: February 6, 2023
Agenda Item: 8a
DPW Murtuza stated that food service establishments are the main sources of fats, oils, and grease in the
wastewater collection system. He explained that the City regulates food service establishments and their
discharge of fats, oils, and grease into the sanitary sewer system through the Burlingame Municipal Code
Chapter 15.10 Sanitary Sewer Use Regulations. He stated that under this chapter, all facilities that
discharge industrial wastewaters either directly or indirectly to the sanitary sewer are required to obtain a
wastewater discharge permit per Section 15.10.070.
DPW Murtuza stated that the proposed updates to Chapter 15.10 are intended to increase clarity and to be
consistent with the California Plumbing Code in order to prevent confusion and/or avoid misinterpretation
of the regulations. He noted that the update will ensure that the terminology is consistent across the
documents. He added that the proposed ordinance clarifies that any user, including food service
establishments, with waste that negatively impacts the wastewater treatment facility, will be required to
obtain a wastewater discharge permit issued by the City.
Mayor Brownrigg asked if the outcome of this proposed ordinance is that the public would need a permit
to discharge. DPW Murtuza replied that industrial discharge always requires a permit, but the ordinance
provides clarity on the terminology.
Mayor Brownrigg asked the City Clerk to read the title of the ordinance. City Clerk Hassel -Shearer read the
title.
Councilmember Ortiz made a motion to waive further reading and introduce the ordinance; seconded by
Vice Mayor Colson. The motion passed unanimously by roll call vote, 5-0.
Mayor Brownrigg opened the public hearing. No one spoke.
Councilmember Beach made a motion to bring back the ordinance for a second reading; seconded by
Councilmember Ortiz. The motion passed unanimously by roll call vote, 5-0.
b. INTRODUCTION OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 18.30 OF THE BURLINGAME
MUNICIPAL CODE, WHICH CONTAINS LOCAL AMENDMENTS TO THE 2022 CALIFORNIA GREEN
BUILDING STANDARDS CODE (CEQA DETERMINATION: EXEMPT PURSUANT TO STATE CEQA
GUIDELINES SECTIONS 15378, 15061(b)(3)
Councilmember Beach recused herself from the item due to conflicts that were confirmed by the FPPC.
ACA Spansail stated that at the November 21, 2022 Council meeting, the Council adopted an ordinance that
made local amendments to Title 24, Part 11 of the 2022 California Building Codes, which contains the
California Green Building Standards Code ("CALGreen"). He explained that these local amendments are
commonly referred to as a city's "Reach Code."
E3
Meeting Date: February 6, 2023
Agenda Item: 8a
ACA Spansail explained that the approved ordinance did not include language that allowed exemptions for
developers who submitted a complete planning application prior to the implementation of the proposed
ordinance. He added that similarly, the ordinance did not allow the Building Official to grant exceptions to
the City's Reach Code when their application could make a development project infeasible.
ACA Spansail reviewed the two issues that are addressed in the proposed ordinance. He stated that firstly,
it would exempt developers who submitted a complete planning or building permit application prior to the
effective date of the new (and then unknown) requirements of the City's updated Reach Code. He added
that any project granted this exemption would still be required to comply with the City's 2020 Reach Code
(or any variation of the Code applicable to the project based on its application history).
ACA Spansail stated that staff believes that the proposed developments at 620 Airport Boulevard, 1499
Bayshore Highway, and the Peninsula Crossing Project at 1300 Bayshore would all qualify for this
exemption.
ACA Spansail stated that secondly, the proposed ordinance would allow future developers to apply for an
exception to certain aspects of the City's new Reach Code if those additional requirements would make the
building of the project infeasible. He explained that in this scenario, the Building Official would determine
whether an exception should be granted and would limit any approved exception to only those aspects of
the Reach Code that make the project infeasible. He added that if the Building Official denies an exception,
the applicant could appeal this decision to the Community Development Director within five business days.
The decision of the Community Development Director would be final.
Councilmember Stevenson asked about the timeframe for when the Reach Codes become applicable to a
new development. ACA Spansail replied that typically the Reach Codes need to be in place when a project
submits its entitlement application to be applicable.
Vice Mayor Colson asked how many projects this proposed ordinance would impact. ACA Spansail replied
that he believed it would impact three large projects.
Mayor Brownrigg asked the City Clerk to read the title of the ordinance. City Clerk Hassel -Shearer read the
title.
Councilmember Ortiz made a motion to waive further reading and introduce the ordinance; seconded by
Councilmember Stevenson. The motion passed by roll call vote, 4-0-1 (Councilmember Beach recused
herself).
Mayor Brownrigg opened the public hearing. No one spoke.
Vice Mayor Colson made a motion to bring back the proposed ordinance for a second reading; seconded by
Councilmember Stevenson. The motion passed by roll call vote, 4-0-1 (Councilmember Beach recused
herself).

10. STAFF REPORTS AND COMMUNICATIONS
a. ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION DIRECTING THAT THE DRAFT 2023-2031 HOUSING ELEMENT BE
SUBMITTED TO THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
FOR REVIEW AND CERTIFICATION
CDD Gardiner began by explaining the definition of a Housing Element. He stated that it is a plan for the
housing needed in a community that includes:
• Types of housing and where it should go
• Housing policies and programs
• Required by state law and guided by target numbers
• Updated every eight years
CDD Gardiner explained that the Housing Element starts with the General Plan. He stated that the City's
General Plan was updated in 2019 after lots of community input. He noted that this put Burlingame ahead
of other cities when it came to the Housing Element.
CDD Gardiner stated that the Regional Housing Needs Allocation ("RHNA") is a target for the housing units
needed in each city. He added that this is assigned to the region by the State. He then reviewed the City's
RHNA requirement:
Income Level
RHNA 6 Allocation
Very Low Income (50%AMI)
863
Low Income (60% AMI)
497
Moderate Income (80% AMI)
529
Above Moderate Income (120% AMI)
1,368
TOTAL
3,257
CDD Gardiner reviewed the Area Median Income ("AMI") and noted that it is higher in San Mateo County
than in many regions.
• $116,200 household of 1
• $123,800 household of 2
• $149,400 household of 3
• $166,000 household of 4
He noted that these numbers change every year.
CDD Gardiner stated that the General Plan planned for substantial new housing, including housing of
different types and affordability. He explained that the General Plan planned for 2,951 units and that the
General Plan will be able to accommodate the 3,257 required under RHNA. He added that as of January
2023, there are 2,412 unites in the "pipeline" that will be eligible to be applied to the next cycle. He stated
10
Meeting Date: February 6, 2023
Agenda Item: 8a
that the pipeline projects meet the allocation needs in some of the income levels but fall short in the very
low income and low-income levels.
CDD Gardiner reviewed a chart reviewing the pipeline project and unmet need:

CDD Gardiner stated that 38.9% of Burlingame's workforce makes less than $40,000 a year. He noted that
there is a large gap between what 38.9% of the City's workforce makes and the region's AMI.
CDD Gardiner showed a map depicting affordable areas of the Bay Area. It highlighted how far from
Burlingame an individual would need to live such as Hayward, San Leandro, and the Central Valley, to
afford housing. He added that when you take into consideration traffic and tolls, it makes it hard for
companies to recruit.
Councilmember Stevenson asked if the Peninsula Wellness Community (PWC) numbers are included in the
"pipeline" report. CDD Gardiner replied that PWC is not yet included but it will assist the City when they
are included.
CDD Gardiner stated that the City's Housing Element includes the following seven chapters:
• Chapter 1—
Executive Summary
• Chapter 2
— Introduction
• Chapter 3
— Profile of the Community
• Chapter 4
—Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH)
• Chapter 5
— Housing Constraints
• Chapter 6
— Community Resources and Opportunities
• Chapter 7

• Appendix D — Sites Inventory
11
Meeting Date: February 6, 2023
Agenda Item: 8a
CDD Gardiner discussed the community outreach that was undertaken for the City's Housing Element
including:
• Burlingame Talks Together About Housing — part of the County's "Home for All" initiative, which was
created to understand how community perspectives about housing affect decisions made by local
governments.
• 21 Elements collaborative — a countywide outreach program
• Outreach events including "pop-up" outreach tables at the Fresh Market in Downtown Burlingame
and on Broadway
• Two virtual interactive community workshops
• Joint meeting with the Planning Commission and City Council
He noted that a summary of the outreach activities and related findings can be found at
www.burlingame.org/housingelement.
CDD Gardiner discussed Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing ("AFFH"). He stated that this process asks
cities to create low-income housing in the "highest resource" or "high resource" areas. He explained that is
defined by the State based on a range of indicators such as:
• Proximity to transit
• Access to high performing schools and jobs
• Access to amenities, such as parks and services
• Access to health care facilities and grocery stores
He added that the good news is that all Burlingame residents live in neighborhoods identified as "highest
resource" or "high resource," meaning there are no "low resource" neighborhoods in Burlingame.
CDD Gardiner stated that the next thing that is included in the Housing Element is the Sites Inventory. He
reviewed the following chart:

CDD Gardiner stated that sites smaller than 0.5 acres or larger than 10 acres are considered unsuitable for
affordable housing development unless the jurisdiction demonstrates that it has a track record of
affordable developments on these sizes of lots. He added that the Housing Element includes a track record
12
Meeting Date: February 6, 2023
Agenda Item: 8a
of development and the types of development. He showed the charts and timelines that are included in
the Housing Element. He stated that the Housing Element includes how the City created its density
assumptions. He explained that inclusion in the Sites Inventory is not:
• An entitlement in itself
• An obligation to build housing
He noted that not being a designated Housing Inventory site does not preclude housing development if
housing is an allowed land use.
CDD Gardiner next reviewed the policies and programs section of the City's Housing Element. He explained
that the plan for housing needed in a community must include:
• Provide opportunities for a variety of housing choices
• Facilitate the development of affordable housing
• Remove barriers to housing
• Improve the condition of existing housing
• Preserve existing affordable housing
• Affirmatively further fair housing
CDD Gardiner stated that the policies and programs for affordable housing include three priority levels:
• High — planned implementation within 1-2 years of Housing Element adoption
• Medium — planned implementation within 4 years of Housing Element adoption
• Low — ongoing/continuous implementation within 8 years of Housing Element adoption
CDD Gardiner reviewed some of the programs outlined in the Housing Element:
• Program H (B-3) — a commitment to environmental justice for underrepresented community groups
most impacted by pollution
• Program H (C-6) — consideration of providing additional incentives for developers to include child
care facilities in new residential, commercial, or industrial developments
• Program H (D-2) — provision of 50 Extremely -Low Income (ELI) units subject to a preference for
people with development disabilities
CDD Gardiner stated that the Planning Commission reviewed the draft Housing Element and some of the
items that the Commission was interested in included:
• Condominium conversions (Program H(E-2))
• Preserve naturally affordable housing
• Tree planting requirements
• Enumerate the numbers of persons who both live and work in Burlingame
• Consider use of an ADU questionnaire to determine income levels of units
• School impacts
• Consider increasing the proportion of affordable units required in new developments
13
Meeting Date: February 6, 2023
Agenda Item: 8a
CDD Gardiner reviewed the affordable housing development project at 1875 California Drive. He noted
that it sits on .36 acres, and 69 units are proposed. He stated that the Council has committed City Housing
Funds to this project. He noted that this project works out to 191 dwelling units per acre, making it a dense
project. He explained that this project might make it possible to develop some smaller lots and gave
examples:
• 1145 Capuchino Avenue (Parking Lot R) - .27 acres could offer up to 13 units (at 50 dwelling units
per acre)
• 1480 Broadway and 1204 El Camino Real - .29 acres could offer up to 14 units (at 50 dwelling units
per acre)
CDD Gardiner reviewed the Housing Element timeline:
• Public Draft Released: December 28, 2022
• Planning Commission: January 9, 2023
• City Council: January 17, 2023
• Deadline for Comments: January 27, 2023
• Consider and incorporate comments from the public, Planning Commission, and City Council:
January 27 — February 10, 2023 (10 days maximum)
• Submit to HCD: February 13, 2023
He noted that the State has up to 90 days to review the City's first draft and offer comments.
Councilmember Ortiz stated that he thought condo conversions led to the same number of units. He asked
how condo conversions would encourage more housing units. CDD Gardiner replied that the policies and
programs are meant to focus on the needs of the community. He stated that the thought is that condo
conversions would help to bridge the gap between the cost of renting and first home purchase.
Councilmember Ortiz asked if he was correct that the Housing Element identified opportunities for more
housing units than what is required under RHNA. CDD Gardiner replied in the affirmative.
Councilmember Ortiz asked if staff expected any pushback from HCD. CDD Gardiner replied that the review
of other cities' housing elements has been rigorous. He stated that HCD has expressed a desire to have
more commitments and certainty out of cities.
Councilmember Ortiz asked if anything in the Housing Element conflicts with the General Plan. CDD
Gardiner replied in the negative. He stated that the General Plan was written partially as a housing plan.
Vice Mayor Colson gave the scenario of a low density multi -residential building (approximately 4 units) that
could be redeveloped into 20 units. She asked if there were ang regulations regarding tenant displacement
or other matters that would make the redevelopment challenging. CDD Gardiner replied that he is not
aware of a required relocation program.
14
Meeting Date: February 6, 2023
Agenda Item: 8a
Vice Mayor Colson asked if the City had any SB 9 projects in the past year. CDD Gardiner replied in the
negative. He noted that the City's SB 9 regulations are fair and reasonable.
Vice Mayor Colson stated that under the program to create extremely -low income housing for people with
disabilities, staff listed some partners. She noted that she didn't think PARCA or GatePath were included
and wondered if they should be included. CDD Gardiner stated that staff included AbilityPath, which used
to be GatePath.
Vice Mayor Colson stated that she noticed that none of the City's religious sites were included in the
report. She explained that a new State law allows religious organizations/sites to redevelop parking lots
and parts of their parcels into affordable housing. She added that staff might want to have conversations
with the City's faith organizations to see if they are interested in developing their lots.
Vice Mayor Colson asked that the introduction to the report include more information about the City's
large rental population. She highlighted the fact that 54% of residents are renters and how high this
number is in comparison to Burlingame's neighbors. She thought the cost of rent versus the cost of single-
family homes in Burlingame should be highlighted in the introduction to highlight the difficulties of
becoming a first-time home buyer in the city.
Mayor Brownrigg discussed the impactful work that the City has done to develop housing. He noted that
he thought the report was overly defensive. He explained that the City has done a lot and has been
thoughtful on where and how to create additional density. He stated that there isn't a lot of public land for
the City to develop, and developers can't make the numbers work to create affordable housing on private
land. He discussed the need for the State to create subsidies to allow for affordable housing to be created.
He asked that the report include some language about how the City is doing what it can and that the State
needs to assist financially to create more affordable housing.
Councilmember Beach stated that she appreciated the policies and programs that were highlighted in the
report. She added that she would explore looking into smaller sites. She concurred with Vice Mayor
Colson that religious organizations/sites would be a great partner in creating housing.
Mayor Brownrigg opened public comment.
Zach stated the importance of creating affordable housing around transit. He discussed AFFH and the need
to further explore this requirement. (comment submitted via publiccomment@burlingame.org).
Mayor Brownrigg closed public comment.
Councilmember Beach asked if staff could talk with the school districts about potential housing sites on
their property. CDD Gardiner replied that the administration site was included as an opportunity site in the
report. He added that any of the school sites would require zoning code amendments and therefore
weren't included.
15
Meeting Date: February 6, 2023
Agenda Item: 8a
Councilmember Ortiz stated that he disagreed with Mayor Brownrigg about the tone of the report.
Vice Mayor Colson stated that she has read a lot of HCD response letters that other cities received after
submitting their reports. She hoped that because the City has utilized responses from other cities that HCD
would be satisfied with the City's report.
Mayor Brownrigg thanked staff for their hard work on this report.
Councilmember Beach made a motion to adopt Resolution Number 008-2023; seconded by Mayor
Brownrigg. The motion passed unanimously by roll call vote, 5-0.

HR Director Saguisag-Sid stated that before Council was a resolution to authorize the eighth amendment to
the City Manager's employment contract. She noted that the City Manager's evaluation was conducted at
the December 7, 2022 Closed Session. She explained that in recognition of her positive performance, the
Council recommended providing a salary increase of 2% and an increase of two vacation days per year for a
total of 27.
Mayor Brownrigg opened the item up for public comment. No one spoke.
Councilmember Ortiz made a motion to adopt Resolution Number 009-2023; seconded by Vice Mayor
Colson. The motion passed unanimously by roll call vote, 5-0.
Mayor Brownrigg thanked City Manager Goldman for all her work.

Mayor Brownrigg asked each Department Head and Councilmember to state something that they are
proud of from last year and what keeps them up at night.
Fire Chief Barron stated that what he is proud of is the collaborative nature of his department in assisting
the public during COVID. He explained that what keeps him up at night is that CCFD just sent out their
"standards of cover," which reviews the locations of stations, number of trucks, personnel, etc. to ensure
that the department is properly sized for the population it serves.
Police Chief Matteucci stated that he is proud of the hires he has made in each division at the Police
Department in the past few years. He explained that what keeps him up at night are videos like the recent
incident in Memphis, Tennessee. He stated that although he trusts his officers, it angers and frustrates him
to see these videos as there is no excuse for that behavior.

has worked with. She added that she is also very proud of the business license tax and the work staff did to
assist the Council on getting this placed on the ballot. She explained that what keeps her up at night is the
City's finances. She discussed the City's infrastructure needs and how the City hasn't been able to put
money in its Capital Reserve as a result of COVID.
Mayor Brownrigg stated that he is proud of the Town Square project. He noted that he thought the project
was shaping up to add a lot of benefit to the community. He explained that what keeps him up at night is

the City has also run down its reserves as a result of COVID.
Vice Mayor Colson stated that she is proud of the Rollins Road Specific Plan. She noted that she thought
this neighborhood was demonstrative of the City's commitment to providing realistic and diverse solutions

She noted that up until COVID, the City's main revenue source was Transient Occupancy Tax ("TOT").
However, as a result of COVID, TOT dropped and property tax has become the City's largest revenue
source. She noted that the year prior to COVID, the City generated $29 million in TOT.
City Manager Goldman stated that the City's top three revenue sources (TOT, property tax, and sales and
use tax) account for approximately 83% of the City's revenue. She noted that the new business license tax
isn't included in the above chart.

reviewed the following good news that was included in the audit:
4
Meeting Date: February 6, 2023
Agenda Item: 8b
Property tax revenue at $27.7 million, came in at 3.3% more than the budgeted amount and nearly
14.4% over prior year. This is due to an unanticipated ERAF refund and Property Tax in Lieu of VLF
distributions
o ERAF Refund - $0.9 million more than prior year
o Property Tax in Lieu of VLF - $1.6 million more than prior year
Sales and use tax revenue sources have recovered more than anticipated. Including the Measure I
transactions tax, a total of $17.6 million in sales and use tax revenue went to the General Fund.
The City collected $12.4 million in transient occupancy tax (TOT), which was more than double the
prior year's $5.7 million of revenue.
City Manager Goldman reviewed a chart that depicted the City's General Fund balance from FY 2018-19
through FY 2022-23. She noted that at the end of FY 2018-19, the City had an unassigned fund balance of
$20,371,309. She added that for FY 2022-23, it is projected that the balance will be $7,537,924. She
discussed some payments that were made out of the unassigned fund balance including the finalized
Washington Park tree claims. She noted that payments from the unassigned fund balance would be
presented to Council at the mid -year budget review.
City Manager Goldman reviewed a bar chart that depicted the City's assigned fund balance, unassigned
fund balance, and the draw from reserves/other sources. She noted that the Catastrophic Reserve is
always funded at $2 million, Contingency Reserve is funded at $500,000 and the Economic Stability Reserve
is a percentage of General Fund revenues.
Councilmember Stevenson asked when the last time the City revisited the required level of funding for the
Catastrophic Reserve. City Manager Goldman replied that approximately seven or eight years ago, the City
hired the Government Finance Officers Association to review the City's reserves and determine their
appropriate funding levels.
City Manager Goldman reviewed the City's Capital Investment Reserve. She noted that the budgeted
balance of the Reserve on June 30, 2021 is $21,197,670. She explained that $15 million is being put
towards the Broadway Grade Separation and $6 million towards the El Camino Real Underground Utility
Project. She stated that in prior years, the City put funds in this reserve. However, due to COVID, the City
was unable to continue funding the reserve. She added that in 2019, the City transferred $10.6 million out
of the Capital Reserve to assist with the new Community Center Project.
City Manager Goldman showed a chart depicting the General Fund's five-year revenue forecast. She noted
that there is hope that TOT will continue to climb. However, she discussed the recent layoffs in the tech
industry and how they may negatively impact the City's TOT.
Vice Mayor Colson discussed the importance of investing in the Bayfront in order to assist with bringing the
TOT back to pre -pandemic levels. She explained that the City shouldn't create consistent expenses based
on high TOT levels because it is a volatile revenue generator.
Meeting Date: February 6, 2023
Agenda Item: 8b
Councilmember Beach thanked staff and her colleagues for being fiscally responsible in order to build up
the City's reserves. She asked whether or not it is time for the City to consider another reserve study as a
result of COVID. City Manager Goldman replied that she would talk with the Finance Director about the
possibility of a new study.
Mayor Brownrigg thanked staff for the presentation.
City Manager Goldman opened public comment.
Jennifer Pfaff asked about auto sales and their difficulty getting inventory. Finance Director Yu -Scott stated
that auto dealers are still the leader of sales and use tax.
City Manager Goldman closed public comment.

CDD Gardiner reviewed some of the City's priorities when it comes to the Bayfront development:
• Open Space and Recreation — he reviewed the park that is proposed on the State Lands Commission
site and how each private project includes some Bay Trail development or park creation
• Transportation and Public Access — developers are working with Commute.org to assist with a
shuttle system
• Affordable Housing — commercial linkage fees will assist the City's Affordable Housing Fund
• Sea Level Rise Resilience — utilizing information from One Shoreline to ensure that new
development aligns with the needs of its particular "reach"
Mayor Brownrigg asked if the City learned anything from the storms in regard to the City's ability to
withstand sea level rise. DPW Murtuza replied that there were some breaches in the Easton Creek levee.
However, he noted that there were no breaches near the lagoon.
Councilmember Stevenson asked for clarification on commercial linkage fees. CDD Gardiner stated an ad
hoc committee was formed to address how to use linkage fees and develop a list of priorities. He explained
that linkage fees come in project by project, and while it can be tempting to spend them as they come in,
this committee is trying to prioritize the best use of the funds.

Meeting Date: February 6, 2023
Agenda Item: 8b

institutional and therefore it would impact how it is classified in the Housing Element. CDD Gardiner
replied in the affirmative. He noted that a portion of the area would need to be rezoned.

the affirmative and stated that staff would determine how best to share them with the public.

and one big idea.
Mayor Brownrigg asked each of the Councilmembers to first share their small idea.

would like to see the City assist the public in how to navigate federal/state rebates and what the financial
benefits are. She stated that she would like to see the City bring together points of contact to create a
roadmap on what the most important thing to prioritize in electrification is and how to go about getting the
rebate.
11
Meeting Date: February 6, 2023
Agenda Item: 8b
Vice Mayor Colson stated that her small idea is an internship program for the City. She noted that she
wanted to ensure that the interns were paid positions in order to not limit who is able to take these
positions.
City Manager Goldman noted that the City has interns. However, she noted space and staff time
constraints limit how robust the program can be.
Councilmember Beach stated that her day job is in workforce development, and there are resources to
assist youth involved in municipal work.
Councilmember Stevenson stated that his small idea is to promote culture, music, and other events at the
new Town Square. He noted that the City might need to set aside funding for this.
Mayor Brownrigg stated that he liked Councilmember Stevenson's idea as it would be important to activate
the Town Square when it opens.
Mayor Brownrigg stated that his small idea was to add lights to the new sport court at the Community
Center in order to allow members of the public, especially students, to use the court until 10:00 p.m.
Mayor Brownrigg asked each of the Councilmembers to share their big idea.
Mayor Brownrigg stated that he would like to see a robust shuttle system installed in Burlingame. He
noted that the City will be transformed by all the development in the next ten years and wanted to see
more members of the public utilize public transportation. He discussed the potential of having driver -less
shuttles in the future.
Councilmember Stevenson stated that he thought "micro -transportation" for the City was important. He
added that this might have the added bonus of helping TOT increase.
Vice Mayor Colson supported the idea.
Councilmember Ortiz stated that the City's current shuttles are underutilized; therefore, he thought the
City should focus on how to get more people on the shuttles by studying routes, times, etc.
Councilmember Beach stated that she thought it was a great idea. She added that she thought the
Bayfront would be an important opportunity site for shuttles.
Councilmember Ortiz stated that he would like to see a storm water collection/retention project created at
all levels in the City (i.e. resident program and City facility program).
Vice Mayor Colson stated that her big idea was water conservation and how to more efficiently collect and
use recycled water. She noted that Redwood City and other cities have programs in place. She stated that
12
Meeting Date: February 6, 2023
Agenda Item: 8b
she thought it would be important for the City to make a commitment to creating a recycled water
program.
Councilmember Beach voiced her support for Councilmember Ortiz and Vice Mayor Colson's big ideas.
Mayor Brownrigg stated that he thought it was important for the City to be leaders in this field.
Councilmember Beach stated that her big idea is for the City to consider Vision Zero as a policy. She
explained that Vision Zero is a policy that legislative bodies can adopt where the city sets the goal to
eliminate traffic fatalities or serious traffic injuries in a community. She noted that the policy has big
implications, and it impacts how the City, among other things, considers sidewalk repairs/construction,
infrastructure needs, and the urgency around repairs/construction.
Councilmember Stevenson stated that he liked Councilmember Beach's idea.
Councilmember Stevenson discussed the southern portion of Rollins Road. He added that he thought that
when the City considers a project/plan for one area, it should be considered whether elements are
necessary for the same reason in other areas. He gave the example of the City stressing the need for parks
in the North Rollins Road neighborhood due to its high density, but noted that South Rollins Road also had
high density.
Councilmember Ortiz concurred with Councilmember Stevenson and thanked him for his idea.
City Manager Goldman displayed the "infamous" iceberg slide. The slide depicts the fact that all the work
that staff does during the day is below the water (the large portion of the iceberg), while the high visibility
projects and Council ideas are above the water (the small portion of the iceberg).
City Manager Goldman opened public comment.
Sandra Lang stated that she loved all the ideas that were brought forth by Council. She added that if the
public listened to the meeting, they would have a good understanding of all the factors that play into good
governance.
Terry Nagel stated that she is proud of the City's work on the storms. She encouraged the Council to help
residents transition to clean energy.
Mike McCord thanked the City for the Reach Code amendments. He stated that he would like to see the
City assist citizens with converting their existing natural gas appliances to electric.
Jonathan Wan stated that he would like to see the City focus on flood prevention, fire protection, and
security systems.

MEETING DATE: February 6, 2023
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
Date: February 6, 2023
From: Syed Murtuza, Director of Public Works — (650) 558-7230
Jennifer Lee, Environmental Regulatory Compliance Manager— (650) 558-7381
Subject: Adoption of an Ordinance Amending Chapter 15.10 of the Burlingame
Municipal Code to Update Terminology to be Consistent with the Plumbing
Code and to Clarify Wastewater Discharge Permit Requirements; CEQA
Determination: Exempt Pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Sections 15378
and 15061(b)(3)
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the proposed Ordinance amending Chapter 15.10 of
the Burlingame Municipal Code to update terminology to be consistent with the Plumbing Code and
to clarify wastewater discharge permit requirements. Staff recommends the following procedure:
1. By motion, adopt the proposed Ordinance; and
2. Direct the City Clerk to publish a summary of the Ordinance within 15 days of adoption.
BACKGROUND
Food service establishments are the main sources of fats, oils, and grease in the wastewater
collection system. The City of Burlingame regulates food service establishments and their
discharge of fats, oils, and grease into the sanitary sewer through the Burlingame Municipal Code
Chapter 15.10 Sanitary Sewer Use Regulations. Under this chapter, all facilities that discharge
industrial wastewaters either directly or indirectly to the sanitary sewer are required to obtain a
wastewater discharge permit per Section 15.10.070. Lastly, Chapter 15.10 was first adopted in
1970 with amendments last made in 2011. The City Council introduced the proposed Ordinance
at its January 17, 2023 City Council meeting, and at the conclusion of the public hearing directed
staff to bring it back for adoption at a future City Council meeting.
DISCUSSION
The proposed updates to Chapter 15.10 are intended to increase clarity and to be consistent with
the California Plumbing Code in order to prevent confusion and/or avoid misinterpretation of the
regulations. Essentially, the municipal code updates will ensure the terminology is consistent
across the documents. Additionally, the proposed ordinance clarifies that any user, including food
1
Adoption of Ordinance Amending Municipal Code Chapter 15.10 February 6, 2023
service establishments, with waste that negatively impacts the wastewater treatment facility, will be
required to obtain a wastewater discharge permit issued by the City.
Given that Chapter 15.10 has not been updated since 2011, staff proposes minor updates to the
code as described in the proposed ordinance to address the terminology discrepancy between the
existing code and the California Plumbing Code and to clarify wastewater discharge permit
requirements.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed Ordinance is not a project within the meaning of section 15378 of the CEQA
Guidelines because it has no potential for resulting in physical change in the environment, either
directly or ultimately. In the event that this Ordinance is found to be a project under CEQA, it is
subject to the CEQA exemption contained in CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3) because it can
be seen with certainty to have no possibility of a significant effect on the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact.

Chapter 15.10 Sanitary Sewer Use Regulations. Under this chapter, all facilities that discharge
industrial wastewaters either directly or indirectly to the sanitary sewer are required to obtain a
wastewater discharge permit per Section 15.10.070. Lastly, Chapter 15.10 was first adopted in
1970 with amendments last made in 2011.
DISCUSSION
The proposed updates to Chapter 15.10 are intended to increase clarity and to be consistent with
the California Plumbing Code in order to prevent confusion and/or avoid misinterpretation of the
regulations. Essentially, the municipal code updates will ensure the terminology is consistent
across the documents. Additionally, the proposed ordinance clarifies that any user, including food
1
Introduction of Ordinance Amending Municipal Code Chapter 15.10 January 17, 2023
service establishments, with waste that negatively impacts the wastewater treatment facility, will be
required to obtain a wastewater discharge permit issued by the City.
Given that Chapter 15.10 has not been updated since 2011, staff proposes minor updates to the
code as described in the proposed ordinance to address the terminology discrepancy between the
existing code and the California Plumbing Code and to clarify wastewater discharge permit
requirements.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed Ordinance is not a project within the meaning of section 15378 of the CEQA
Guidelines because it has no potential for resulting in physical change in the environment, either
directly or ultimately. In the event that this Ordinance is found to be a project under CEQA, it is
subject to the CEQA exemption contained in CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3) because it can
be seen with certainty to have no possibility of a significant effect on the environment.

February 6, 2023
AGENDA NO: 8d
MEETING DATE: February 6, 2023
Scott Spansail, Assistant City Attorney — (650) 558-7204
Subject: Adoption of an Ordinance Amending Chapter 18.30 of the Burlingame
Municipal Code, Which Contains Local Amendments to the 2022 California
Green Building Standards Code (CEQA Determination: Exempt Pursuant to
State CEQA Guidelines Sections 15378, 15061(b)(3))
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council consider adoption of an Ordinance amending Chapter
18.30 of the Burlingame Municipal, which contains local amendments to the 2022 California Green
Building Standards Code.
Recommended Procedure and Order of Operations:
A. By motion, adopt the proposed Ordinance.
B. Direct the City Clerk to publish a summary of the Ordinance within 15 days of adoption.
BACKGROUND
At the November 21, 2022 Burlingame City Council meeting, the City Council adopted an
Ordinance that made local amendments to Title 24, Part 11 of the 2022 California Building Code,
which contains the California Green Building Standards Code (CALGreen). These local
amendments are commonly referred to as a City's "Reach Code." However, the approved
Ordinance did not include language that allowed exemptions for developers who had submitted a
complete planning application prior to the implementation of this proposed Ordinance. Similarly, it
did not allow the Building Official to grant exceptions to the City's Reach Code when their
application could make a development project infeasible.
At the January 17, 2023 Burlingame City Council meeting, the City Council introduced the proposed
Ordinance and held a public hearing. Following discussion, the Council requested that the
proposed Ordinance be brought back for second reading and potential adoption.
1
Amendment to Building Electrification Reach Code
February 6, 2023
DISCUSSION
The proposed Ordinance would add language regarding two issues not addressed in the current
Reach Code.
First, it would exempt developers who submitted a complete planning or building permit application
prior to the effective date of the new (and then unknown) requirements of the City's updated Reach
Code. Any project granted this exemption would still be required to comply with the City's 2020
Reach Code (or the variation of the Code applicable to the project based on its application history).
Second, it would allow future developers to apply for an exception to certain aspects of the City's
new Reach Code if those additional requirements would make the building of the project infeasible.
In this scenario, the Building Official would determine whether an exception should be granted and
would limit any approved exception to only those aspects of the Reach Code that make the project
infeasible. If the Building Official denies an exception, the applicant could appeal this decision to
the Community Development Director within five business days. The decision of the Community
Development Director would be final.
Staff believes that the addition of these two items will allow for a more complete and equitable
application of the City's new Reach Code.

AGENDA NO: 8c
MEETING DATE: November 21, 2022
Sigalle Michael, Sustainability Coordinator — (650) 558-7274
Subject: Adoption of an Ordinance Amending Chapter 18.30 of the Burlingame
Municipal Code to Adopt Local Amendments to the 2022 California Green
Building Standards Code (CEQA Determination: Exempt Pursuant To State
CEQA Guidelines Sections 15378, 15061(b)(3))
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the proposed Ordinance amending Chapter 18.30 of
the Burlingame Municipal Code to adopt local amendments to the 2022 California Green Building
Standards Code. In its action, the Council should:
1. Adopt the proposed ordinance.
2. Direct the City Clerk to publish a summary of the ordinance within 15 days of adoption;
and
3. Direct the City Clerk to file the findings and amendments with the California Building
Standards Commission.
BACKGROUND
The California Building Standards Commission was established in 1953, and its members are
appointed by the Governor. Since 1978, all proposed regulations promulgated by the various state
agencies must be reviewed and approved by the Building Standards Commission.
On December 14, 2021, the Building Standards Commission voted to adopt the most up-to-date
edition of the model codes as amended by those various state agencies. On July 1, 2022, the
California Building Codes were published. All local jurisdictions are required by State law to adopt
and to enforce the most recent codes reviewed and approved by the California Building Standards
Commission. The new codes will become effective on January 1, 2023.
1
Building Electrification Reach Code November 21, 2022
The City of Burlingame adopted the California Building Standards Code at its regular meeting on
November 7, 2022. The California Green Building Standards Code, or "CALGreen," is a
subcategory of the California Building Codes. It can be found within the California Building Codes
at Part 11, Title 24. The City's anticipated adoption of the Building Standards Code would thereby
include the adoption of Title 24 (CALGreen).
Staff recommends making additional, local amendments to the CALGreen codes, which would
impose City requirements that go beyond the State's requirements for energy efficiency. Such
amendments are commonly referred to as "Reach Codes."
Reach codes are local building code amendments that go beyond the State's requirements for
energy efficiency and green building standards. The City of Burlingame adopted reach codes in
2020 that required new developments to use electric appliances for heating, cooling, and cooking
(with some exceptions); and install electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure and solar power.
DISCUSSION
On November 7, 2022, the City Council introduced and held a public hearing for the proposed
ordinance to amend Chapter 18.30 of the Burlingame Municipal Code to adopt local amendments
to the 2022 California Green Building Standards Code. The Council unanimously introduced the
ordinance, held a public hearing for the ordinance, and set the date for the second reading of the
ordinance for November 21, 2022.
At the November 7, 2022 meeting, the City council reviewed the proposal to amend the Building
Codes with local amendments proposed to reflect Burlingame's local procedures and practices.
The State allows local jurisdictions to make local amendments to the Building Codes to protect
the health, welfare, and safety of the citizens of Burlingame because of local climatic,
geological, and topographical conditions. The intent of the reach codes is to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions and the impacts of global climate change. The City's local climactic,
geological, and topographical conditions make the area vulnerable to wildfires, sea level rise,
flooding, extreme heat days, and other potential climate change impacts. Evidence to support
the findings necessary for local building code amendments includes the following:
1. Burlingame is located between the Santa Cruz Mountains foothills and San Francisco Bay,
with a number of substantial creeks flowing through highly developed residential and
industrial areas. It is surrounded by large areas of open space maintained in natural
condition, as well as having a significant natural canyon in the center of the residential area.
Strong winds come down the foothills during both the driest and the wettest parts of the
year. The city is directly east of the San Andreas Fault, and much of the highly developed
part of the city is located along the front of the Bay, much of it on fill. The United States
Geologic Survey, the California Division of Mines and Geology, and the Association of Bay
Area Governments have extensively mapped the area for such earthquake probabilities.
The foothill areas have a variety of soil formations with steep canyons and heavy
precipitation. Much of the city has a high water table. The proposed amendments to the
2
Building Electrification Reach Code November 21, 2022
Building Code address the local geological conditions in Burlingame.
2. Fires in the community could quickly spread because of the extensive, natural vegetation
throughout the city. The city has a number of highly developed commercial areas with older
buildings, and an industrial area that is filled with mixed uses utilizing various materials that
could be highly hazardous. Heavily traveled approach and departure routes for San
Francisco International Airport are immediately adjacent to or over the city. The city is also
located in a national climate zone that is designated "Very High" on the Termite Infestation
Probability Map. The proposed amendments to the Building Code address the local
topographical conditions in Burlingame.
3. The City has worked with other jurisdictions on the San Francisco Peninsula to establish
consistent standards to minimize the impact that varying standards might have on
development and redevelopment of both residential and commercial buildings. It is only
through strong building standards and effective fire prevention and containment programs
that citizens will receive the protection they deserve, and that citizens will be able to obtain
reasonably priced insurance for their homes and businesses.
4. The City operates its own sanitary sewer system and water quality control plant and is
subject to State and Federal laws regarding both point and non -point discharges. The
proposed amendments to the Building Code are intended to assist the City in meeting its
responsibilities regarding those laws as well as protecting the public safety and welfare.
5. The City also operates its own water supply system for its citizens. The proposed
amendments to the Building Code are intended to provide consistent policy regarding water
service installations and to protect the public's water supply.
The proposed ordinance, which addresses the local geological and topographic conditions
described above, is based on the model reach code prepared by Peninsula Clean Energy (PCE).
The model reach code proposes for all new construction to be all electric and install electric vehicle
charging infrastructure. The table below highlights the requirements in the model reach code.

BACKGROUND
In November 2021, the City contracted with a consultant firm, Management Partners, to assist in
selecting a firm to provide Information Technology (IT) managed services upon the expiration of
the City's previous contract with Redwood City on June 30, 2022. After the City selected Eaton
Associates as the City's new IT provider, Management Partners continued assisting with various
aspects of the transition, including developing amendments to the City's IT policies and procedures,
identifying City priorities for technology needs, and developing a work plan for the new IT managed
services provider.
DISCUSSION
Effective October 1, 2022, Baker Tilly US, LLP, acquired Management Partners, and the agreement
between the City of Burlingame and Management Partners was transferred to Baker Tilly, with the
understanding that all of the terms, conditions and provisions of the contract continue to be in full
force and are subject to the City Manager's authority limit. Since the City does not have any in-
house IT personnel, it is the City's desire to continue working with Baker Tilly to provide IT
consulting support to the City's Finance Director by providing expert advice on various upcoming
projects, such as the City's IT Strategic Plan, critical infrastructure upgrades, etc., on an as -needed
basis.
FISCAL IMPACT
Adequate funds have been appropriated in the Internal Services Fund budget for FY 2022-23.

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: February 6, 2023
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
Date: February 6, 2023
From: Meaghan Hassel -Shearer, City Clerk — (650) 558-7203
Subject: Adoption of a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Third
Amendment to the Agreement with ECS Imaging, Inc. for a Three -Year
Extension at a Total Cost of $95,532.39
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing the City
Manager to execute a Third Amendment to the Agreement with ECS Imaging, Inc. ("ECS") to
extend the term of the agreement for three years.
BACKGROUND
At the January 16, 2018, City Council meeting, the City Council adopted a resolution authorizing
the City Manager to enter into a service agreement with ECS for an electronic content
management system ("ECMS") and scanning services.
Prior to the purchase of an ECMS, the City's records were kept only in paper form, which resulted
in the following issues arising:
1. Misplacement of original versions of records
2. Incomplete project files, as each department was keeping its portion
3. Time consuming process to answer public records requests by sifting through boxes of
documents
To help resolve these issues, the City Council approved the agreement with ECS to purchase
Laserfiche software as the City's ECMS. Laserfiche allows staff to connect documents between
departments, quickly generate a history of a project, and create a public -facing search tool for the
community.
In the original agreement, the City purchased 30 full user licenses. These licenses allowed 30
staff members to have access to Laserfiche. With a license, staff can search for documents,
upload documents, and organize their department's records. As more documents became
available on the City's ECMS, more staff asked for licenses. Accordingly, on January 23, 2019,
staff purchased an additional 35 full user licenses using existing funds in the ECMS CIP fund.
1
Amended Agreement with ECS February 6, 2023
On November 18, 2019, the City Council approved a First Amendment to the original agreement
with ECS to incorporate the 35 full user licenses into the original agreement and purchase an
additional 25 licenses, bringing the City's total number of licenses to 90. Additionally, the City
purchased Laserfiche's form platform from ECS, which allows the City to easily track public
information requests, authorize payments, and then store information in accordance with the
City's retention schedule.
On February 3, 2020, the City Council approved a Second Amendment to the original agreement
for an additional three years.
DISCUSSION
During the past three years, Laserfiche has become an integral part of staff's work. Laserfiche is
not only used to store City records but also to create City records. As a result of the pandemic,
staff had to quickly transition work from being in -person to online. Laserfiche was able to assist
the City by creating forms for several processes including:
• Business Licenses
• Tree Removals
• Parking Permits
• Recreation Scholarship Applications
• Street and Public Right of Way Permits
• Public Records Requests
• Residential Utilities Applications
Not only do the online Laserfiche forms help the City better respond to the public, the forms also
file themselves and therefore limit staff's time having to properly file records.
The proposed amendment will allow the City to continue to increase transparency and expedite
processes for the public.
FISCAL IMPACT
The annual maintenance and licensing costs are estimated to be $31,844.13 each year, for a
total cost of $95,532.39. Additionally, the Building Division utilizes ECS to scan documents and
input them into Laserfiche, with an estimated annual cost of $20,000. The Building Division
utilizes enterprise funds to pay for the cost of scanning. However, as other departments begin to
utilize ECS for scanning, the Building Division's estimate provides a good marker for the cost.
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute the amended
agreement with ECS.

Exhibit A
Overview Of Professional Services
The projected start date of this implementation is early February 2018. ECS resources will provide the
necessary information for server development, and perform all Laserfiche related software installations
and services in full compliance with the City's Request for Proposal dated 7/3/2017 (attached as
Attachment A), and ECS's response to the RFP (attached as Attachment B). ECS will provide consulting,
training, and implementation services for records series identified in the City's Imaging Plan (attached as
Attachment C) for two departments: City Clerk and Community Development (which consists of 2
divisions: Building and Planning). The services will include assistance with the development of a folder
structure and template configuration supporting the records retention workflow as identified in
Attachment A's Appendix D.
As part of the implementation process The City of Burlingame will provide ECS with rough designs of its
desired folder structure and template information for the City Clerk and Building/Planning department
(Appendix D of Attachment A will provide most of the information required). ECS will work to refine
these designs and implement the solution for the City Clerk and Community Development departments.
ECS will also provide implementation and training on Zone OCR, and other components required in the
RFP, including the design the Public Portal Interface with the assistance of City employees to facilitate
quick and successful searching of public records from the City Clerk and Community Development
departments, similar to Newport Beach's Weblink search designs. During the design, ECS will train City
employees on how to develop their own customized searches in the Public Portal.'
ECS will perform relevant software training of general Laserfiche software functionality, and general
business process automation training. This training will allow the City to develop additional workflows to
implement other departments with records retention. It is expected that representatives from the
departments, including IT will be well represented in these trainings.
ECS resources will perform the migration of PaperVision documents to Laserfiche using the existing
imaging and indexing information in PaperVision as outlined in the RFP and in the Questions and
Answers accompanying the RFP. "The City is aware that there are deficiencies in the indexing of these
records, but the task is to ONLY convert the records into the new system, including the images and the
indexing as they currently exist. The "upstream" needs are not part of this scope of work, but may be
' RFP requirement: 1.g Implementation Services: Configuration / application design for all components. Provide
breakout pricing for different modules where applicable.
z RFP requirement: 3a: Includes improving the way the documents were indexed in the past (adding date fields,
etc.)...; Appendix B, questions and ECS responses to 6h and 6i mention that "a method [must] be determined to
identify documents" to develop a workflow to assist in the identification of documents" and that an "interface with
CRW to correlate one of the existing data fields to associate the image's metadata" could be developed — this
presumes that existing data fields (presumably the permit number) sufficient to perform a look up to CRW exist;
and the Questions and Answers submitted to all proposers states that the vendor is expected to "ONLY convert the
records into the new system, including the images and the indexing as they currently exist."
Exhibit A
ECS will make every possible effort to automatically correct some of the deficiencies with indexing,
specifically ECS will work to automate the separation of some Plans and Permits files and adding the
date field, pursuant to the RFP. Based our preliminary analysis we believe there are a few general rules
we can use to distinguish between plans and permits.
1. When two documents have the same Permit Number, the one with more pages is generally the
Permit Number.
2. When a document contains pages that are all landscape, the landscape document is generally
the Plan.
3. When the file size of a document is relatively large, compared to other documents, the file is
generally a plan.
One or more of these rules will be used to add a metadata field to the document indicating if it is a
permit or a plan. ECS will develop a confidence level for each Plan and Permit to aid the City in
prioritizing, which Permits, or Plans need to be validated first. No guarantee of the accuracy of the
classification can be made, but our preliminary review of the data and conversations with the City
indicates that the accuracy should be acceptable to the City.
ECS will add additional metadata information to each document, such as a date or address, provided an
Excel or CSV file generated by the City that contains the Permit Number and any additional metadata
that should be added or modified for that Permit Number. There should be one row per Permit Number.
The information will need to be provided at the start of the project. Manual indexing of content is
outside the scope of the Statement of Work.
Additional departments are expected to be implemented by City staff based on training provided
throughout the implementation of the two departments by ECS. The City has the option to amend this
contract to expand the scope of professional services at the original professional services rate for a
period of two -years from execution.
ECS will scan and quality check City records on an as needed basis in accordance with the pricing tables
on pages 12-14 of ECS' scanning proposal. (Attached as Attachment D)

Advanced search syntax gives you more flexibility when specifying the type of search to be performed.
Although it is possible to perform most searches without using advanced search syntax, it is useful
because it can be used to perform combination and Boolean searches. Advanced search syntax can also
be used to refine search results when too many documents are returned.

through Laserfiche WebLink. Because a WebLink installation may be accessed by the public, it is not
feasible to allocate Named User licenses to everyone who will need to access the repository through
WebLink. With a Public Portal license, you can make your repository available for read-only public access
using WebLink. We have proposed Weblink with 10 retrieval -only user licenses:
There are two general types of Public Portal licenses: Public Portal licenses that allow limited numbers of
connections, and unlimited Public Portal licenses. With Unlimited. Public Portal licenses, your Public
Portal licenses must match or exceed the Server computer in number of processors. limited Public
Portal licenses do not have this requirement, but only allow for a certain number of concurrently
connected users; additional users cannot log in once the maximum number of connections is in use.
WebLink acts as a bridge between Internet Information Services (IIS) and the Laserfiche Server. There
are three main components of a WebLink installation:
The Laserfiche Server, which stores the documents and datathatWebLink users will view.
The Internet Information Services (I IS) Web server, which hosts the RSP.NET pages that make up
WebLink's interface.
The WebLink files, including the ASP. NET pages and the program files.
Scanned Agenda Packets can be imported via drag and drop or automated with another tool. Once the
packet is OCR'ed, and a template is assigned and indexed, the packet will be text and field searchable.
Once the agenda packet is in the proper folder that is public accessible it will available via the public
portal.

Project Schedule / Approach
As a project based firm, ECS imaging, Inc. understands that our -reputation is based on the impression
we leave with our clients at the end of each project engagement. We place a great deal of emphasis on
our project plan and the implementation methodology behind that plan. We have found this emphasis
to be beneficial in ensuring that all of your expectations are met and exceeded throughout the
implementation process.
To enable a controlled, effective and timely implementation we would recommend a phased approach.
We have used this technique successfully in many previous implementations. The following section
outlines the ECS methodology for implementation and is based on PMBOK guidelines published by the
Project Management Institute.
Step 1: Requirements Analysis - Gather and Confirm All Requirements for a Successful Implementation
Performing a thorough requirements analysis is a critical first step to successfully completing a project
on time and within budget. The requirements analysis involves a re-examination of the documents that
will be captured, the processes that will be automated and the way people will use and interact with the
documents once they have been digitized. During the requirements analysis, important design factors
such as security, access and retention requirements will be examined and documented.
Step 2: P.lanning - Define the Formal Work Plan, Checkpoints and Milestones for the Project
The formal work plan will serve as the master schedule by which progress is measured. The work plan
will. include all project -related tasks, as well as all required resources. The published work plan will also
be used to track all project -related activities and generate scheduled and ad hoc progress reports. A
mutually -accepted work plan will be developed before work on the project will begin.
Step 3: Design - Design Every Aspect of the System in a Design Specification Document
Design is usually the first milestone of the project plan and is always documented in detail. System
specifications will be developed to meet the needs outlined in the requirements analysis. These
.specifications will be submitted for approval before the build process begins. Design includes identifying
and developing folder structure, index values/metadata, approval processes, and retention and security.
Step 4: Build - Build the Application According to the Design Specification
The system should be built according to the approved specifications. Any changes that need to be made
should be made to the specification and agreed upon before they are implemented.
Step 5: Test - Test the Application for Functionality, Performance and Design, According to the
Specification
Before the solution is rolled out, comprehensive testing should be done. It's important to identify issues
through testing so that productivity is not hindered once the system goes live.
CITY OF BUR.INGAME
2
Step 6: Revise - Revise the Application per Testing Results and Conform to Design Specification
Based on test results, there may be functional or performance issues that require modifications to
hardware or software components to address. System modifications should require the approval of an
appended specification before they are .made.
Step 7: Rollout - Launch the Application, Supporter) with Communication, Training and Service
The system should be rolled out based on a. defined plan..All rollout activities, such as pilot testing,
change management activities and training should be coordinated to ensure a smooth transition to the
new system.
Project Management
At ECS, we have extensive experience implementing turn -key Laserfiche records management
document management; and business process automation solutions for hundreds of clients. Our
experience implementing systems in similar environments provides us with significant insights into the
best practices for your project. We intend to provide professional customized recommendations and
solutions to the organization from kick-off to go -live to ensure a successful project implementation.

System Architecture Information
Laserfiche Server is an extremely efficient and.robust application that creates a very small network
footprint yet can scale to support thousands of users, multiple databases, and an abundance of
information. The base server is a security gateway to the suite of Laserfiche products.
Images and OCR text are stored as TIFF documents and ASCII files (Group IV Compression) to guarantee
document integrity as well as future availability. Laserfiche is optimized for Microsoft SQL Server
database platform. Metadata information is stored within the database server to allow for scalable quick
access. Since Laserfiche utilizes Microsoft SQL database as its backend, it is fully ODBC compliant,
meaning it can communicate with most any standard data source. The Oracle version of Laserfiche is
available at an additional cost.
Product Information
.The following features are standard with the Laserfiche system installation. A detailed description of
each feature is presented below:
■ Robust Granular Security
■ Built-in Document Viewer
■ Quick Search and Advanced SearchOptions
User-friendly Scanning Interface
■ Email, Snapshot, and Web Access
Microsoft Office Integration
■ SharePoint Integration
Robust Granular Security
The Laserfiche access control system provides fine control of user actions within the repository and
what level of information they can access. Users can be authenticated to Laserfiche through username
and password or through Windows Authentication and/or LDAP. Laserfiche provides the ability to
.assign security rights to Windows users and/or groups through integration with Active Directory. To
make security rights management most efficient, it is recommended that security profiles be created at
the group level and all groups be tied to Windows groups through Active Directory. This strategy will
automatically provide appropriate access to new users who are added to the domain and will remove
access from users as soon as their network login is deactivated.
Encryption can be enabled for content in transit and at rest. Content in transit can be encrypted by
leveraging Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS), which are cryptographic
protocols used to encrypt and secure communications. Additionally, you can encrypt files in Laserfiche
at rest, using Laserfiche's built in (AES-128, AES-192, or AES-256) volume encryption option
control user access to folder structures, documents, document annotations, volumes and metadata.
Permissions provide the ability to distribute administrative functions without providing system -
administrator level access. Tags are user definable and represent the sensitivity level of the documents
to which they are assigned. With the robust security features in Laserfiche, you can easily:
• Manage Users and Groups
• Manage Volumes, Templates,:and Fields
• Manage Security Profiles
® Manage Repository Options, and much more
Built-in Document Viewer
Laserfiche has:an easy to use document viewer that allows for flexible, user -configurable display of
index keys, document properties; predefined tasks, page thumbnails, document notes, and toolbars. The
Viewer also allows for single -page viewing with multiple options for zooming in and out. Users can easily
select preset page region views that can be both system and user -defined. Automated zooming allows
the document viewer to auto -position the view of newly opened pages based on the document type.
Multiple view panning options make it easy to adjust the current position of specific areas on the
magnified image. Users can apply specific annotations such as stamps, sticky notes, text, and redactions
to images directly from within the document view interface. Documents can be rotated in the document
viewer and saved to maintain the rotated view. Perform common operations such as re -index, copy, e-
mail, export, print, and delete pages within document view interface. Convenient and flexible page
selection interface within document viewer. Also provides the ability to open a viewer -displayed
document in an associated application for viewing or editing.

Quick Search and Advanced Search Options
Make searching more fluid and automatic with fully -integrated text extraction from all documents in
your repository —such as imaged documents, electronic documents including Adobe& PDF and Microsoft.
Office° documents,:and other binary files. You'll benefit from a multitude of powerful search
methodologies, including full -text, metadata, annotation or folder/file tree search. Use .bolded lines of
context to find exactly the information you're looking for without searching through pages of a single
document or opening multiple documents. Search through spelling variations or misread OCR text with
"fuzzy logic" tools. Save and load common searches, copy text, pages or even entire documents from
the Search Results pane. And speed searching through the repository with a Quick Search button from
your toolbar.
Advanced search syntax gives you more flexibility when specifying the type of search to be performed.
Although it is possible to perform most searches without using advanced search syntax, it is useful
because it can be used to perform combination and Boolean searches. Advanced search syntax can also
be used to refine search results when too many documents are returned.
When you have performed a search, the results of your search will be displayed in the Contents Pane. If
your search was a full -text search, or an annotation text search, the Context Hits pane will appear in the
bottom half of the Contents Pane. A context hit is a selection of the text surrounding the search term,
providing you information about the context in which that term was found. Double clicking on an item in
the Context Hits pane opens the document to the page where the search term appears.
User -Friendly Scanning Interface
Laserfiche has a built in scanning interface to the client and Web Access. Scanning may be done on your
focal network directly to the server or scan remotely with Web Access directly to Laserfiche from outside
facilities. You may scan pages as either a document or as a batch. If all the pages you are scanning
belong together in one document, scan the pages as a document. If the pages will be divided up into
various documents, scan the pages as a batch. Batches make it easy to scan large numbers of pages at
once while utilizing the optimum speed of the scanner, and then organize the information at a later time
and even by a different user or workstation.
Laserfiche works with most common scanning drivers and supports scanner features such as multiple
image resolutions, paper size, color scanning, duplex scanning and automatic document feeders. it is
able to display images as they are scanned so that the operator can visually verify image acceptability.
The system will automatically collate a stack of double -sided pages even if only a single sided scanner is
used.

Laserfiche Quickfields
Laserfiche Quick Fields automatically captures your critical information from paper and electronic
documents and organizes it for fast retrieval. Quick Fields transforms data capture from a costly and
.labor-intensive operation into an efficient process. Quick Fields collects precise pieces of information
from the masses of unstructured data flowing into your organization. Improving the speed and accuracy
of data capture, Quick Fields gives authorized staff instant access to the information they need to work
effectively -
Quick Fields accelerates the flow of useful information into business operations, reducing or eliminating
the need for manual data entry, which is labor-intensive and error -prone. Eliminating these repetitive,
manual tasks empowers staff to use their time more effectively.
Quick Fields allows documents already in the Laserfiche repository to be reprocessed in order to capture
new data and update index information. Reprocessing capabilities maximize the value of your Laserfiche
"system by adapting to evolving business environments.
Quick Fields data extraction modules automatically collect information from paper forms, electronic
documents and databases. Quick Fields collects the precise data you need —such as zip codes, bank
.account numbers and invoice numbers —and then compares it to information in other application
databases to verify its accuracy and ensure that it is correctly formatted. In addition, data extraction
tools can draw information from other databases to automatically fill in index fields. Data extraction
tools automate these processes to reduce the amount of staff time spent transferring information
between applications and integrating it into your business processes.
Quick Fields module options:
A Bar Code — reads a variety of industry standard bar codes horizontally and vertically.
■ Zone OCR —automatically extracts text from .specific form areas for rapid data capture _and index
field population.
Real -Tune Lookup— populates template fields and validates metadata by retrieving data stored
in client databases and other applications.
a Pattern Matching — uses regular expressions to separate extracted data, such as zip codes, from
larger blocks of text captured by Zone OCR and verifies that is correctly formatted.
Check Scanning — captures images of checks with supported Digital Check Corporation (DCC)
scanners.
Fora Identification. — automatically recognizes the form or document based on Its overall
structure, even in the absence of barcodes, form data or other distinguishing information.
Form. Registration — automatically repositions the document to match a master form, correcting
for scanning errors and improving data extraction.
Form Extractor— removes form outlines, isolating data for more accurate capture.
Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) -- detects marks on surveys, tests and ballots. 0.MR can
determine whether check boxes have been filled in.
Document Classification—eliminatesthe need for sorting prior to forms processing by recognizing
multiple types of forms in a single session.

Laserfiche Digital Signatures
Digital Signatures gives users the ability to automatically sign and validate documents as they are
created, reviewed and archived without leaving the Laserfiche environment. Digital signatures are a
form of electronic signatures that act like a digital notary to your electronic assets, allowing you to verify
the condition of your documents for the duration of their lifecycle.
optional Laserfiche Software Modules
Laserfiche Forms Professional
Laserfiche Forms is a Web application that enables.you to capture and work with information via Web -
based forms. In Laserfiche Forms, forms are created within business processes that dictate how the
collected information is routed and worked with. In general terms, a business process is a collection of
activities, events, and decisions that produces a service or product for an organization. In many
organizations, employees must submit expense reports to be reimbursed for purchases they made while
working for the company. Submitting an expense report is the first step in a larger process in which that
information is routed to one or more managers for approval before the process ends with the worker's
request being approved or denied. In Laserfiche .Farms, you can create an electronic version of this and
other form -based business processes.

Laserfiche Records Management
Records management systems simplify the life cycle management of business records. A records
management system supports the automatic enforcement of consistent, organization -wide records
policies and reduces the cost of regulatory compliance.
Fortunately, there is a records management standard that has emerged as the de facto standard across
most industries. The United States Department of Defense (Doi) developed a records -management
standard, DoD Standard 5015.2, as a requirement for records management applications implemented
within its departments which Laserfiche meets.
Unlike other requirements, the DoD developed very specific criteria, as well as a formal testing process
to determine whether a records management application meets the standard. Because of the formal
testing process and the strictness of the requirements, organizations outside of the DoD have used the
5015.2 standard as a starting point for evaluating records management applications for their own use.
Knowing that a DoD-certified application has been rigorously testedagainsta standard that is much
more demanding than the regulations they must comply with provides a great deal of comfort to
compliance officers and records managers.
.A configurable solution tailors security to suit requirements. In Laserfiche, records managers can give
users customized access rights according to their needs. This technological enforcement keeps
unauthorized users from gaining accidental or malicious access to private, confidential records.
Unification also allows for consistent, total life cycle management and continuous control of records
security.
Records Monagerr►ent Highlights:
• Enforce enterprise -wide records policies, regardless of your records' format, location or content,
.and without additional staff training.
• Create records from documents already under management.

Dear Diane and Meaghan,
Thank you for including us in your request for proposals for your Scanning, .Indexing; and Quality
Checking (Scanning Service Bureau Services) project. We are committed to meeting and exceeding the
City of Burlingame's comprehensive document imaging needs for its immediate and future
requirements.
ECS currently has two scanning bureaus, one in Concord, CA serving Northern California, and another at
its headquarters in Riverside, CA. Both of these operations can perform paper scanning as well as
scanning of Microfilm and Microfiche. The benefit that this has for Laserfiche customers is that we can
scan any document and have the scanned images loaded on to your Laserfiche server, making them
immediately accessible without the need for additional conversion or indexing.
We have been providing cost effective document scanning and conversion services to government
Agencies since 1995 and can successfully provide all digitization services as requested in the RFP. We
have developed methods to ensure superior scanning and conversion results in order to accommodate a
variety of imaging requirements. ECS takes great pride in providing accurate and cost effective scanning
and conversion services to support local government.
The information and pricing contained in this proposal are valid for a period of 90 days following the
date of submission. All work will be performed by ECS Imaging and no sub -contractor will be utilized for
this project. Scanning will be done in compliance with all applicable ANSI and AIIM standards. All
:individuals who will perform work for the City are free of any conflict of interest. We look forward to
serving the City by providing superior scanning services that meet and exceed the requirements of the
City and this RFP.
Our 27 years as the document Management Experts and our reputation for great service makes ECS the
right choice for your project needs. We look forward to serving the City's needs in a responsible and
professional manner.
Thank you.

Scope of Work —Scanning Services
ECS Imaging, Inc. is a full -service document management solutions provider with over 20 years of
.experience providing document management related services to local government. ECS.currently
supports more than 400 I.aserfiche Systems and has provided professional scanning services to many of
our government clients. We support over 100 Cities in California and have prodded ongoing scanning
services for many years to dozens of them including the Cities of Albany, Alameda, Cupertino, Redwood
City, Fairfield, and many more (see references).
From the beginning of the project you will be in communication with your Account Manager to
determine any details or requirements not specified in the RFP, The Scan Bureau Supervisor can also
provide specific recommendations based on best practices learned from previous scanning projects. All
materials will only be handled by ECS employees to ensure a protected chain of custody; at no time will
ECS utilize a sub -contractor to perform the work. Our Scan Bureau Supervisor will be in contact With
your project lead throughout the life of the project to determine specific scanning requirements
including naming convention, indexing and output to media if not already determined.
Project Approach
Below is the general processes performed on each batch of scanning. Modifications to our processes are
made as needed to further ensure the overall quality of each scanning project. Client contact and
interaction will affect the outcome.
The term "Documents" is a general term that refers to any material to be digitized.
The term "Boxes" is a general term that is meant to include any container in which material/media may
be transported.
Pick -yap and Delivery
Materials will be picked up by ECS employee using a secure vehicle. When received at our Concord
scanning facility, the Scar} Bureau Supervisor will inventory the material and check it against the
inventory list provided by the City. The City will be notified immediately of any discrepancies. If
requested, the material can be returned in the same manner.
Each batch of scanning will be given a unique "job number" that will assist ECS with project tracking,
turnaround times, production process management, quality control and inventory of records
throughout the entire project.
Typically, documents are transported in standard size banker's boxes. Each box will be counted and
inventoried at the time of pick up. The driver will have a pick up order clearly identifying the "job
number", date of pick up, type of records, and number of boxes (i.e. 30 boxes numbered I - 30). City
staff will sign and verify the number of boxes being picked up and a copy will be left.
Upon Completion of that job (batch) ECS will contact the City representative and schedule the return
delivery. A Delivery sheet for that "Job number" will accompany the return delivery of the boxes and the
CITY OF BURLINGAME
completed images. City representative will sign and verify the return of the documents and the
completed images. Standard turn -around time for most scanning projects is 30-60 days.
..Document Tracking.
Document tracking begins with the customer. The better the files are prepared for pick-up, the better
we can track and verify throughout the process. A comprehensive inventory of the files to be picked up
should be provided whenever possible. Inventory verification information should be referenced on the
outer face of all boxes to allow for verification at time of pick-up. Based on the provided information we
will document which files and boxes have been provided. The provided inventory of files will be used for
Quality Assurance purposes throughout the scanning process. The final verification of files will be
conducted -prior to delivery after all other processes are completed.
Digital Content Tracking
The digital content is created via Laserfiche scanning software and is housed directly onto a server
designated to our scanning customers. Each separate scanning project will be processed in a separate
repository specifically created to suit the unique needs of the project. Each box will be processed as a
separate unit (see processing steps below). All processing will be conducted at "box level" until the final
formatting is conducted by the scan supervisor. Each box will be tagged upon arrival. The tag will
provide a single location to track the processes listed below.
Each box will be prepped and the tag will be signed off by that operator
Each box will be scanned and the tag will be signed off by that operator
Laserfiche will retain the "created by" information to track who scanned the box
Each box will be indexed and the tag will be signed off by that operator
■ Laserfiche will retain the "last modified by" information to track who indexed the box
The indexed data for each box will be verified by a second operator and the tag will be signed off by that
operator. If any corrections are.made to a document, the "last modified by" will be changed to track
who last edited the file. The indexed data and document structure for each box will be further verified
by the scan supervisor before the box is considered "validated". Validated boxes are physically
segregated from the in -process boxes. Images for the validated boxes are segregated within the
repository. Data properties (number of documents, number of images, and. data size) are recorded and
tracked throughout the scanning process.
Indexing Procedures
Indexing requirements are unique to each scanning project. Customers are encouraged to be heavily
involved in the development of indexing criteria. The index process will include capture of unique
document details as indicated in the RFP. Second pass Image quality control and job specifications
Verification is done at this time.
Quickfields auto -population is strongly recornmended*
■ identify a key piece of information known as a Unique Identifier. This would be the only
manually entered data we enter into your template
CITY OF BURLINGAME -.1
• Provide an excel file that will tie the Unique Identifier to other desired field data. This file will be
used to auto -populate the fields you wish to have indexed.
• The scanning supervisor will conduct the auto -population and verify accuracy
*Using this processing technique we can eliminate many common data entry errors.
Paper based documents will be imaged and captured as TIFF images at 300 DPI unless otherwise
indicated, named and indexed according to the document naming conventions determined by the City
Manual indexing is limited to what is available on the scanned images of any given document.
Nerving Convention
Naming conventions are specified by the customer and vary based on customer needs. We recommend
that Quickfields be used to auto -populate the template fields and to name the documents. A
document's field data will comprise the document name and will create a standardized format for the
naming convention. The scan supervisor will ensure the final product meets the needs specified by the
requirements of the RFP. Any document that does not fit the specified criteria will be addressed with
the.City staff; any variations to the criteria must be specified in advance or additional charges may be
incurred.
OUtpUt to Delivery Medium
The scanned and indexed images are verified for burn to delivery media. The media attendant will verify
image quality and index integrity via spot checking throughout the job (batch). The burned media will be
tested for functionality and labeled as specified prior to delivery. This is our final pass for Image Quality
Control.
Scanned images with OCR will be burned to a DVD as a Laserfiche Briefcase or delivered on a portable
drive for potential upload to the City's Laserfiche system. We can also provide a Laserfiche Plus DVD
which contains a built-in search engine for easy search and retrieval of files contained on the disc, at an
...additional cost. The Laserfiche Plus DVD can also be used for archival purposes as well potential direct
upload to Laserfiche.
Individualizing task segments allows us to physically review the image quality in 3 separate passes while
maintaining projected production speeds. This is the most efficient means of minimizing production
errors without the high cost of "Page by Page Individual Review". Page by Page Individual Review can be
done if requested by the City at an additional cost per hour.

BURi®NGAME AGENDA NO: 8g
STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: February 6, 2023
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
Date: February 6, 2023
From: Lisa K. Goldman, City Manager — (650) 558-7243
Subject: Authorize the Mayor to Send a Letter to State Legislators in Support of
Chanqes to AB 2449's Brown Act Teleconferencinq Provisions
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the Mayor to send a letter to State Legislators in
support of changes to Assembly Bill (AB) 2449's Brown Act teleconferencing provisions.
BACKGROUND
The Ralph M. Brown Act ("Brown Act") is a California law that guarantees the public's right to attend
and participate in meetings of local legislative bodies. The Brown Act allows a City Council to use
any type of teleconferencing in connection with any meeting. "Teleconference" is defined as "a
meeting of individuals in different locations, connected by electronic means, through either audio
or video, or both." While it allows for teleconferencing, the Brown Act imposes certain restrictions
and requirements around what constitutes a quorum, posting agendas, noticing of teleconference
locations, and public access.
DISCUSSION
In March 2020, Governor Newsom proclaimed a state of emergency in response to the outbreak of
the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and issued Executive Order N-29-20 easing certain Brown Act
restrictions. In September 2021, Governor Newsom approved AB 361 to "improve and enhance
public access to local agency meetings during the COVID19 pandemic and future applicable
emergencies, by allowing broader access through teleconferencing options." On October 17, 2022,
Governor Newsom announced that the COVID-19 State of Emergency will end on February 28,
2023, ending the ability of government agencies to conduct meetings under the provisions of AB
361.
Although the existing teleconferencing provisions of the Brown Act remain in effect, there is also
new legislation, AB 2449, that amends the Brown Act to provide an additional procedure for
members of legislative bodies to attend public meetings remotely. The legislation became effective
January 1, 2023.
Under this new law, members of a legislative body may attend public meetings remotely without
identifying their teleconference site on the agency's agenda or ensuring it is accessible to the public
1
Support for Modifying Brown Act Teleconferencing Provisions February 6, 2023
under certain circumstances. As long as a quorum of the legislative body participates in person
from a physical location open to the public, the remaining agency members can participate remotely
in two situations:
1. Just cause, which is defined as any one of the following:
• childcare or caregiving of a child, parent, grandparent, grandchild, sibling, spouse, or
domestic partner that requires a member to participate remotely;
• a contagious illness that prevents a member from attending in person;
• a need related to a physical or mental disability; or
• travel while on business of the legislative body or another state or local agency.
In order to participate remotely under the just cause provisions, the member must notify the
legislative body at the earliest possible opportunity, including at the start of a meeting, of their
need to participate remotely and provide a general description of the circumstances related to
one of the four items above. A member may only participate remotely under the just cause
provisions up to two meetings per calendar year.
2. Emergency Circumstances, which means a physical or family medical emergency that prevents
a member from attending in person.
In order to participate remotely under the emergency circumstances provisions, the member
must request that the legislative body allow them to participate in the meeting remotely because
of emergency circumstances, and the legislative body must take action to approve the request
at the earliest opportunity.
Modifications to AB 2449
Last month, the Mayor of San Carlos circulated a letter to Mayors in San Mateo requesting that
they, and any other interested Councilmembers, sign onto the attached letter to Assemblymember
Blanca Rubio, author of AB 2449, requesting changes to the legislation. More specifically, the letter
requests that AB 2449 be amended to "allow city councils, standing committees, and regional
boards more flexibility more flexibility to establish their own teleconference requirements related to
quorums, just cause and emergency requirements, and limitations on the number of remote
meetings members may attend."
Upon receiving the request to sign onto the letter, staff contacted City of San Carlos staff and
learned that the deadline to join the City of San Carlos letter was January 31. Due to the Burlingame
City Council schedule, staff was unable to seek direction on this matter prior to the San Carlos
deadline.
If the City Council wishes to lend its support to this cause, then the Council could authorize the
Mayor, by motion, to send a letter to Assemblymember Rubio in a form substantially similar to the
attached City of San Carlos letter.

None.
Exhibit:
• City of San Carlos letter
Dear Assemblymember Rubio:
Thank you for your leadership in the State Assembly on critical issues ranging from pre-school education
and safe drinking water, to continuous medical care for children under the age of five and transparency
and flexibility in public meetings. We appreciate your inclusive approach to addressing the needs of all
Californians and empowering communities to come together to create positive change for all.
We are writing to request that Assembly Bill ("AB") 2449 be amended to allow city councils, their
standing committees, and regional boards more flexibility to establish their own teleconference
requirements related to quorums, just cause and emergency requirements, and limitations on the
number of remote meetings members may attend.
In March 2020, the Governor issued Executive Order N-29-20, giving local agencies more flexibility to
deploy teleconferencing, and it was a monumental success. It protected the health and safety of civil
servants and the public, while effectively and efficiently conducting the public's business.
Teleconferencing during the pandemic increased public participation, reduced single occupancy vehicle
trips and travel costs, and decreased greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
We believe there are several unintended consequences of AB 2449 and respectfully request that the
following requirements be considered for amendment:
1. Just cause travel. Local city councils and their standing committees are often comprised of
individuals with full-time occupations. AB 2449's "just cause" requirement unfairly allows
travel while on business "of the legislative body or another state or local agency," but not
travel related to an individual's occupation. This raises an equity concern that participation
in local and regional government would be limited to officials at a certain socioeconomic
level. Travel for a member's occupation should be allowed under "just cause."
2. Cap on number of remote meetings allowed. The limitation on the number of meetings
that may be attended remotely appears arbitrary. The State could consider mandating a
"floor" for in -person meetings, i.e. at least two meetings per year must be in person, and
allow regional boards and standing committees maximum flexibility in determining the
"ceiling" or "cap" on the number of remote meetings permissible. To contrast, local officials
serve in the communities in which they live and the return to in -person meetings for local
jurisdictions is not an issue. Nonetheless, local jurisdictions and their constituents are best
suited to decide whether to host in -person or virtual meetings and to decide the limitations
of those meetings.
3. Quorum. Requiring a quorum at a single physical location for regional boards and their
subcommittees, and mandating that members of these bodies travel long distances to
attend in -person meetings, contradicts the State's efforts to curb GHG emissions and seems
arbitrary and particularly burdensome when regional boards are comprised of a
geographically diverse membership of cities and counties. Regional boards, as well as
standing committees of a city council should be allowed to stay 100% remote, with the
option of deciding as a body, how many meetings should be attended in -person versus
remote.
4. Webcasting technology. Unlike local city councils, regional boards meet in a variety of
locations that often are not equipped with webcasting technology to enable hybrid
meetings. Under AB 2449 regional boards will need to pivot from online meetings to in -
person meetings.
5. Disclosure. The requirement to publicly disclose any individual in the room over the age of
18 is a privacy violation. For example, if a member is under the care of an at-home nurse,
this should not need to be shared publicly.
We have serious concerns regarding AB 2449's measures to limit remote teleconferencing to a handful
of emergency or restrictive just cause approvals. Without amendment, these measures will result in
unnecessarily long travel times to meetings, suppressed attendance, and difficulty reaching quorum,
which will in turn negatively impact the governing body's productive work.
We respectfully request that AB 2449 be amended to provide more flexibility to regional agencies and
local governing bodies. The Brown Act ensures that officials and their constituents can have open and
transparent meetings, which we now know can occur using modern technology. As representatives of
local governments and regional boards, we believe in the benefit of increased access in our
communities. We look forward to collaborating with you to promote greater flexibility and participation
in the decision making process by incorporating the changes we have proposed. Thank you for your time
and consideration of this important matter that impacts all of us.
Sincerely,
Adam Rak, Mayor, City of San Carlos
Sara McDowell, Councilmember, City of San Carlos

Resources Annual Conference
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council approve out-of-state travel for the Human Resources
Director to attend the Western Region International Public Management Association — Human
Resources (WRIPMA-HR) Annual Conference for training and professional development.
BACKGROUND
The WRIPMA-HR Annual Conference will take place April 30 — May 3, 2023, in Salt Lake City,
Utah. This conference provides HR professionals with training and development opportunities
focused on leadership; mental health; diversity, equity and inclusion; developing strategies, and
recruitment best practices. Human Resources Director Maria Saguisag-Sid is currently a board
member of the Bay Area IPMA-HR chapter and regularly participates in activities to promote the
HR profession in the public sector.
DISCUSSION
The WRIPMA-HR Annual Conference will provide good resources and training to help HR Director
Saguisag-Sid improve her professional expertise and service to the organization. This will also
provide ideas to improve the overall operation of the Human Resources Department, particularly
with diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts, as well as recruitment outreach. Information received
at this conference will be shared with other HR staff members.
Section 111.1.a of the City's Expense Reimbursement Policy requires City Council approval for out-
of-state travel. Pursuant to the policy, staff is requesting the Council's approval of HR Director
Saguisag-Sid's travel to Utah.
FISCAL IMPACT
Expenses for this trip are estimated to cost approximately $1,600 and sufficient funds are available
in the Human Resources budget for this trip.

There is no limit on the number of kittens, defined as no more than two months olds.
The City Council may allow for more than two (2) dogs or three (3) cats, but not to exceed
five (5) dogs and/or cats total6. A resident seeking a permit to keep up to five cats and/or
dogs must present a petition to the Council containing signatures from a majority of
neighbors within 400' of the premises of the applicant. The permit is revocable at any time
by the City Council.
DISCUSSION
Staff has recently received inquiries from residents seeking a permit to keep more than the
allowable number of cats and/or dogs. Staff recommends amending the Municipal Code to
authorize the City Manager or her designee, instead of the City Council, to act on permit
applications. Delegating this authority to the City Manager will allow staff to respond more
efficiently to permit requests. Staff also recommends amendments to allow for a maximum
number of cats and/or dogs to be no more than five (5) animals over four months old, rather
than distinguishing between the number of cats and dogs.
The above amendments are intended to address pet owners, and not commercial pet
breeders. A commercial cat or dog breeder must still comply with all zoning regulations,
which are addressed in Title 25 of the Municipal Code.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact in adopting this ordinance.

Subject: Discussion of a Smoking Ban in the Broadway Commercial District
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council receive the staff report and provide direction on whether to
move forward with an ordinance to introduce a pilot smoking ban in the Broadway commercial district.
BACKGROUND
The Economic Development Subcommittee discussed the merits of a smoking ban in business districts
at their November 17, 2022 meeting, after the idea was proposed by Broadway Business Improvement
District (BID) President John Kevranian. Mr. Kevranian explained that he had received many complaints
over the years related to smoking on the sidewalk, including increased air pollution and littering. These
complaints increased after the introduction of parklets on the street. Mr. Kevranian further explained
that the smoking presents challenges to proprietors and employees of Broadway businesses since the
smoke enters their workplaces.
Mr. Kevranian encouraged education as an enforcement mechanism, given the difficulties of enforcing
a ban. Education could include storefront and/or street signage, press releases, and reminders from
business owners.
During this meeting, the Subcommittee suggested that a ban could be a tool for business owners to
guide the public. They also requested a petition of Broadway businesses before recommending the item
to the full City council.
Staff visited each Broadway business with a petition, asking whether the respondents would be in favor
of a smoking ban in the district. Of the 38 businesses reached, 25 supported a ban, one did not, and 12
declined to comment.
At the December 14, 2022 Subcommittee meeting, staff noted potential difficulties with enforcement
and suggested a long grace period prior to enforcement, partnered with widespread education. While
the November 17 discussion was proposed as a citywide ban, the Subcommittee suggested that the
Broadway BID would be prepared to "self -police" during a pilot phase of six months, given that
1
Discussion of a Pilot Broadway Smoking Ban February 6, 2023
merchants broadly supported it. (The Downtown Business Improvement District Board noted at their
December meeting that they did not see a need for the ban Downtown at the time of the discussion).
DISCUSSION
While smoking is prohibited within 20 feet of public buildings by State law, the ban proposed before the
City Council is intended to prohibit smoking in front of all street -facing Broadway businesses. The
Subcommittee had suggested a pilot phase of six months, though this timeframe may be extended
based on Council discussion.
When considering the pilot program, it is also important to note that the City Council would be using
their police power to provide for the public health, safety, and welfare of Burlingame citizens by
discouraging the inherently dangerous effects of cigarette smoke. For that reason, any extension of the
program would need to consider applying the ban to other pedestrian -oriented districts in the city,
including Burlingame Avenue.
Some jurisdictions have similar bans in place (Palo Alto, Santa Cruz, and Walnut Creek). Palo Alto staff
said that their ban has generally been well -received and staff had received few complaints. Summaries
of the Palo Alto and Walnut Creek ordinances are attached as exhibits to illustrate how a smoking ban
ordinance may be crafted.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Subcommittee suggested that, should the City Council support moving forward with an ordinance
to introduce a pilot smoking ban in Broadway, some City funds be allocated for "Smoke -free Broadway"
signs for merchants to place in their windows. Depending on the nature of the signs, they could be
printed on City Hall printers, or sent to a local printer at relatively nominal cost.

DISCUSSION ITEMS
Discussion of a Possible Smoking Ban in Business Districts
EDS Sanfilippo introduced the topic, establishing that this idea was originally proposed by John
Kevranian (President of the Broadway BID). Mr. Kevranian explained that his proposal rose from a
variety of complaints he has received over the years, including smoking and littering outside of
businesses (particularly after the introduction of parklets). He then explained that, though State law
prohibits smoking within 25 feet of a building, the spaces are so near each other on Broadway that
smoke will often waft across several storefronts. He also noted that South San Francisco and Palo
Alto have smoking bans in business districts, and he would like to see a similar initiative in
Burlingame.
Mr. Kevranian further explained that he believed storefront and street signage, in addition to press
releases on social media and in -person reminders, could be effective in reducing smoking on the
street, given the difficulties of enforcing a ban. The Subcommittee and CM Goldman generally
supported the idea but did have concerns over how the City would be able to enforce such an
ordinance to avoid taking up police staff time. CM Goldman suggested that the ordinance could
instead be used as a tool for business owners to guide the public.
Councilmember Colson wondered if the ordinance would further exacerbate labor shortage issues, if
employees who smoke would no longer wish to work in Burlingame. Mr. Kevranian suggested that this
is more of a public health issue for customers and other employees. The Subcommittee asked for
City Council Economic Development Subcommittee — Minutes November 17, 2022
(DRAFT)
attestations from Broadway merchants that they would be in favor of the ordinance, even knowing that
enforcement would be limited. They agreed that Broadway should serve as a pilot case before
possibly extending the ban to Downtown or other business areas, should the ordinance move forward.
Ideas to Facilitate PG&E Hookups
EDS Sanfilippo introduced the topic, opening the floor to the Subcommittee and Bill Chiang from
PG&E to discuss how to better serve residents and businesses. Mr. Chiang noted that PG&E has had
many financial difficulties, which will continue through the end of the year due to the end of contracts
with temporary laborers.
Mr. Chiang suggested that the City encourage contractors coming in for Building or Planning permits
to contact PG&E as early as possible in their process, especially for remodels or any projects
increasing energy load. This would allow PG&E to avoid unnecessary delays by 1) notifying them of
the project; 2) allowing them to evaluate the project area to understand energy load -bearing needs;
and 3) allowing them to provide plan requirements so that projects are not found to be incompatible
with existing PG&E equipment in the area.
Councilmember Colson urged PG&E to provide a handout that the City could distribute at the
permitting counter to summarize what is needed when contacting PG&E for various types of projects.
Mr. Chiang noted that PG&E offers a plan check service that would likely be useful for most projects,
and the process could be described in the handout.
Miscellaneous Discussion
The Subcommittee expressed interest in a workshop or research study into workforce challenges,
potentially to be titled "Burlingame Talks About Jobs". This would examine any barriers to integrating
a workforce (language/transportation/technological challenges) for Burlingame, and include a variety
of testimonials from workers/unions and employers. The Subcommittee suggested starting this effort
off with recurring check -in meetings with different sectors over the next year as possible.
Councilmember Colson noted that a similar thought piece is being studied at the state and national
level, and more information may be forthcoming before the Burlingame discussion begins in full.
Action Items
• EDS Sanfilippo will inquire with Palo Alto and South San Francisco staff about their smoking
bans
• Staff will work with PG&E to distribute handouts for residents and businesses interested in
upgrading their systems, providing power to their space, etc.

READ AND APPROVE MINUTES FROM NOVEMBER 17 MEETING
Approved.
DISCUSSION ITEMS
Check -in with Hoteliers
EDS Sanfilippo introduced the topic, with Vice Mayor Brownrigg explaining that a particular interest of
the Subcommittee was to hear whether labor constraints were substantially impacting local hoteliers.
Mr. Hutar presented some recent data, noting that occupancy has been steadily increasing, though
the average daily rate (ADR) remains below 2019 peaks. Business travel is still lagging, particularly
amid large-scale tech layoffs.
Ms. Kershner requested that the City provide the hoteliers/SFP event information to publish and assist
with marketing in a competitive national market. Councilmember Colson noted that Topgolf would be
coming relatively soon, with CM Goldman explaining that the anticipated opening is in 2026. Ms.
Kershner also proposed the creation of a city Arts Commission.
To the question of labor, both hoteliers present offered different experiences: one struggling with
"quick quits" and another that has seen generally stable employment, attributed to its unionized hourly
staff, but now struggling with attracting managerial staff.
John Kevranian questioned if bringing back the Burlingame Trolley would assist hoteliers with
City Council Economic Development Subcommittee — Minutes December 14, 2022
(DRAFT)
marketing. Ms. Kershner suggested that the hoteliers would have some trouble financially supporting
the trolley should it return, particularly with increasing shuttle costs for individual hotels and some
concerns about the infrequency of the trolley runs during its original operation. Vice Mayor Brownrigg
noted that the City would be exploring a city-wide shuttle system given the large-scale developments
on the Bayfront.
Mr. Hutar wondered if the hoteliers could support the City in securing funding for the Broadway Grade
Separation, to which Vice Mayor Brownrigg suggested that SFP and all hoteliers send individual
letters of support for the project to assist with 2023 lobbying efforts.
For other marketing efforts, Councilmember Colson suggested a coordinated city-wide holiday lighting
campaign. She suggested that discussions begin in May or June so there would be adequate time for
planning. She also noted a plan to create an "art walk" to highlight art throughout the city, though she
believed she would need an intern to work on the initiative given workloads of current staff.
Discussion of a Possible Smokina Ban in Business Districts
EDS Sanfilippo introduced the topic, which was originally proposed by John Kevranian (President of
the Broadway BID). Results of a petition of 38 Broadway merchants showed that 25 would support a
ban, 1 would not, and 12 declined to comment. Mr. Kevranian reiterated that the request comes out of
concern for public health, corroborated by Ms. Baker.
ACA Spansail noted some concerns with enforcement, particularly for police officers that would
theoretically have to enforce the ban. He emphasized the importance of education and a long grace
period prior to enforcement. He also suggested that the ban would likely need to apply to all business
districts given the broad applicability of such an ordinance.
The Subcommittee suggested that, since the request came from the Broadway BID, those merchants
would be prepared to "self -police" during a 6-month pilot phase. They supported the item being
brought to the full Council some time early next year, with Vice Mayor Brownrigg requesting that the
staff report include a small commitment of City funds for "Smoke -free Broadway" window signs. They
also requested a defined boundary for the district (e.g. all street -facing properties on Broadway, etc.).
EDS Sanfilippo also noted that the DBID Board did not feel a strong need for the ordinance at this
time, though they could see it being applicable in the future.
Miscellaneous Discussion
There was no miscellaneous discussion.
