I know 214 00:14:12,221 --> 00:14:15,161 deputy mayor wanted to say a few words 215 00:14:15,161 --> 00:14:18,161 and council member bonilla as well and 216 00:14:18,161 --> 00:14:21,161 council member rodriguez and goethals. 217 00:14:21,161 --> 00:14:23,161 what the heck, you might as well join the 218 00:14:23,161 --> 00:14:24,161 party. 219 00:14:24,161 --> 00:14:25,161 >> sure. 220 00:14:25,161 --> 00:14:27,561 >> okay, take it away. 221 00:14:30,161 --> 00:14:31,161 >> 222 00:14:31,161 --> 00:14:33,161 >> deputy mayor maureen freschet: thank 223 00:14:33,161 --> 00:14:37,961 you, mayor. As far as sb 50. The public 224 00:14:40,161 --> 00:14:43,161 will need to know the impacts. S. B. 225 00:14:43,161 --> 00:14:46,761 will be the most controversial senate 226 00:14:47,161 --> 00:14:50,161 bill of 2019 because it requires 227 00:14:53,161 --> 00:14:56,761 california to override our processes and 228 00:15:03,161 --> 00:15:06,761 height districts. It does not provide 229 00:15:07,161 --> 00:15:09,161 for housing and those in san mateo and 230 00:15:09,161 --> 00:15:13,101 that san mateo is punitive and san mateo 231 00:15:13,101 --> 00:15:17,101 has been at the forefront of these 232 00:15:17,101 --> 00:15:21,101 policies as well as the railroad corridor 233 00:15:21,101 --> 00:15:25,101 plan that we pass in 2005 and the many 234 00:15:25,101 --> 00:15:26,101 transient projects that are already built 235 00:15:26,101 --> 00:15:30,901 and those in the projects and even those 236 00:15:31,101 --> 00:15:34,701 in our pipeline. Under s. B. 50, 237 00:15:40,101 --> 00:15:43,701 properties along the corridor can be 238 00:15:44,101 --> 00:15:46,101 established for housing with our zoning 239 00:15:46,101 --> 00:15:49,101 and height limits and significantly 240 00:15:49,101 --> 00:15:52,101 decreases zoning for parking. I think 241 00:15:52,101 --> 00:15:55,101 these zoning changes can create negative 242 00:15:55,101 --> 00:15:58,101 impacts for those already suffering from 243 00:15:58,101 --> 00:16:01,101 parking supplies such as north central 244 00:16:01,101 --> 00:16:04,101 and can change the single family 245 00:16:04,101 --> 00:16:07,701 neighborhoods. While we all have single 246 00:16:13,410 --> 00:16:16,410 jobs and balancing, senate bill is a one 247 00:16:16,410 --> 00:16:20,241 for all thought less approach. I have 248 00:16:22,410 --> 00:16:25,410 often required regional resolutions and 249 00:16:29,410 --> 00:16:32,410 how work on providing affordable housing 250 00:16:32,410 --> 00:16:35,410 and other issues. This requires the full 251 00:16:35,410 --> 00:16:38,410 participation of impacted cities. In the 252 00:16:38,410 --> 00:16:42,410 case of s. B. 50 we have a state mandate 253 00:16:42,410 --> 00:16:46,241 that will change our city without our 254 00:16:48,410 --> 00:16:51,410 input. I find this particularly 255 00:16:53,410 --> 00:16:55,410 disturbing with the idea of having all of 256 00:16:55,410 --> 00:16:57,410 our residents for the vision and 257 00:16:57,410 --> 00:17:00,410 inclusion in a future they want to see. 258 00:17:00,410 --> 00:17:04,241 while the meaning of s. B. 50 is 259 00:17:06,410 --> 00:17:09,410 written, we will no longer have the 260 00:17:09,410 --> 00:17:11,410 autonomy that is for our future. There 261 00:17:11,410 --> 00:17:14,410 is so much left to interpretation. I 262 00:17:14,410 --> 00:17:17,410 believe we have the obligation to 263 00:17:17,410 --> 00:17:20,410 strongly oppose this legislation on 264 00:17:22,410 --> 00:17:25,641 behalf of our constituency and including 265 00:17:27,410 --> 00:17:30,410 changes along with our participation with 266 00:17:30,410 --> 00:17:34,241 any impact on san mateo. I sure 267 00:17:36,410 --> 00:17:39,410 appreciate mayor papan's lead on this and 268 00:17:39,410 --> 00:17:42,641 would forward the letter to our 269 00:17:44,410 --> 00:17:45,410 legislators. 270 00:17:45,410 --> 00:17:48,410 >> mayor diane papan: council member 271 00:17:49,410 --> 00:17:50,410 bonilla? 272 00:17:50,410 --> 00:17:51,410 >> former mayor rick bonilla: sure, 273 00:17:51,410 --> 00:17:53,410 while I agree with a lot of what maureen 274 00:17:53,410 --> 00:17:55,410 has said, I would take a more cautious 275 00:17:55,410 --> 00:17:59,241 approach. S. B. 50 is like she said, 276 00:18:00,410 --> 00:18:02,410 well-meaning, well-intentioned. It seeks 277 00:18:02,410 --> 00:18:05,410 to build housing that we desperately need 278 00:18:05,410 --> 00:18:07,410 in the whole state, although there are 279 00:18:07,410 --> 00:18:09,410 certain variations about which part of 280 00:18:09,410 --> 00:18:13,241 the state and the bay area has 281 00:18:15,981 --> 00:18:18,981 done with their efforts to affordable 282 00:18:18,981 --> 00:18:22,981 housing. And san mateo are no slackers in 283 00:18:22,981 --> 00:18:23,981 terms of building housing, but the fact 284 00:18:23,981 --> 00:18:26,981 remains that we have a huge housing 285 00:18:26,981 --> 00:18:29,981 imbalances. Don't get me wrong from the 286 00:18:29,981 --> 00:18:34,181 start. I'm not purporting that we should 287 00:18:36,981 --> 00:18:38,981 either support or oppose. Let me talk for 288 00:18:38,981 --> 00:18:42,981 a second about that. I believe that this 289 00:18:42,981 --> 00:18:44,981 is new legislation and this is only 290 00:18:44,981 --> 00:18:46,981 passed one of several committees it needs 291 00:18:46,981 --> 00:18:51,781 to pass through and it is recognized that 292 00:18:52,981 --> 00:18:54,981 it needs more amending. This is an 293 00:18:54,981 --> 00:18:57,981 unfinished product that is going to 294 00:18:57,981 --> 00:18:59,981 require more refining before it's ready 295 00:18:59,981 --> 00:19:01,981 for anybody to really say support or 296 00:19:01,981 --> 00:19:03,981 oppose. I think this is the kind of 297 00:19:03,981 --> 00:19:05,981 situation where if you are smart, you 298 00:19:05,981 --> 00:19:08,981 don't try to cut your chance to 299 00:19:08,981 --> 00:19:11,981 participate in the process off early by 300 00:19:11,981 --> 00:19:14,921 taking a hard and fast position. Instead 301 00:19:14,921 --> 00:19:17,921 you say, we see the pluses and minuses 302 00:19:17,921 --> 00:19:19,921 and would like to see it amended further 303 00:19:19,921 --> 00:19:24,921 and here is how we would like to see it 304 00:19:24,921 --> 00:19:26,921 amended. With that standing, we can 305 00:19:26,921 --> 00:19:28,921 support it if amended properly using the 306 00:19:28,921 --> 00:19:30,921 considerations that we outlined in our 307 00:19:30,921 --> 00:19:31,921 letter, then perhaps we could supported 308 00:19:31,921 --> 00:19:35,921 it at some point. So, that's kind of 309 00:19:35,921 --> 00:19:37,921 what I'm thinking. And I would like to 310 00:19:37,921 --> 00:19:38,921 see what other opinions council members 311 00:19:38,921 --> 00:19:39,921 may have. 312 00:19:39,921 --> 00:19:42,921 >> mayor diane papan: okay. Council 313 00:19:49,921 --> 00:19:50,921 member rodriguez? 314 00:19:50,921 --> 00:19:53,921 >> okay, 1st I would like to say that I 315 00:19:53,921 --> 00:19:57,921 acknowledge and agree with the goals of 316 00:19:57,921 --> 00:19:59,921 s. B. 50 and that our region as a whole 317 00:19:59,921 --> 00:20:01,921 has a significant housing shortage and we 318 00:20:01,921 --> 00:20:05,921 need to do all we can as a region to 319 00:20:05,921 --> 00:20:08,921 build more housing especially affordable 320 00:20:08,921 --> 00:20:12,861 housing. However I do not support s. B. 321 00:20:12,861 --> 00:20:15,861 50 and I wanted to take a couple moments 322 00:20:15,861 --> 00:20:18,861 to explain my position on this. I believe 323 00:20:18,861 --> 00:20:21,861 as a locally elected council member, our 324 00:20:21,861 --> 00:20:24,861 job is to strike a delicate balance 325 00:20:24,861 --> 00:20:27,861 between making sure that we act 326 00:20:27,861 --> 00:20:29,861 responsibly to ensure that we are 327 00:20:29,861 --> 00:20:32,861 building and planning for our fair share 328 00:20:32,861 --> 00:20:34,861 of the regions housing, but at the same 329 00:20:34,861 --> 00:20:37,861 time, we must do everything we can to 330 00:20:37,861 --> 00:20:40,861 protect the quality of life in our 331 00:20:40,861 --> 00:20:42,861 neighborhoods and existing residents by 332 00:20:42,861 --> 00:20:45,861 building in a manner that makes the most 333 00:20:45,861 --> 00:20:47,861 sense given the unique challenges and 334 00:20:47,861 --> 00:20:50,861 constraints of our city . According to 335 00:20:50,861 --> 00:20:55,610 our planning department, I mean, I will 336 00:20:56,861 --> 00:20:58,861 spend a couple moments talking about what 337 00:20:58,861 --> 00:21:00,861 was in the letter because I think it's 338 00:21:00,861 --> 00:21:05,610 important. In the last 5 years we have 339 00:21:06,861 --> 00:21:09,861 build or -entitled to build 300,000 340 00:21:10,861 --> 00:21:13,801 units and in the pipeline to be built. 341 00:21:13,801 --> 00:21:15,801 once those houses will be built that will 342 00:21:15,801 --> 00:21:19,801 be an increase in housing supply in san 343 00:21:19,801 --> 00:21:22,801 mateo of over 11%. That is roughly the 344 00:21:22,801 --> 00:21:27,100 housing supply of the size of atherton's 345 00:21:29,801 --> 00:21:33,801 total housing supply in the last 5 years. 346 00:21:33,801 --> 00:21:39,201 but the balance part of this, is that we 347 00:21:39,801 --> 00:21:42,801 also are experiencing some stark quality 348 00:21:42,801 --> 00:21:45,801 of life challenges and this is where the 349 00:21:45,801 --> 00:21:50,100 balanced part comes in. The windows of 350 00:21:56,801 --> 00:22:01,100 rush hour traffic are expanding and some 351 00:22:01,801 --> 00:22:03,801 areas are facing severe parking shortages 352 00:22:03,801 --> 00:22:07,401 and this is facing neighbors after 353 00:22:08,801 --> 00:22:10,801 neighbors with bandoned vehicles calling 354 00:22:10,801 --> 00:22:12,741 our police department reaching 5,000 355 00:22:12,741 --> 00:22:16,741 calls per year. There is not an increased 356 00:22:16,741 --> 00:22:19,741 in bandoned vehicles. This is just 357 00:22:19,741 --> 00:22:22,741 neighbors fighting neighbors because they 358 00:22:22,741 --> 00:22:25,741 can't find parking and nobody wants to 359 00:22:25,741 --> 00:22:30,541 leave their parking once they find it and 360 00:22:31,741 --> 00:22:34,741 we see trash cans used to reserve parking 361 00:22:34,741 --> 00:22:39,741 spots. I think s. B. 50 is going to take 362 00:22:39,741 --> 00:22:42,741 away the tools that manage these quality 363 00:22:42,741 --> 00:22:46,341 of life challenges. For an example, 364 00:22:47,741 --> 00:22:50,741 deputy mayor freschet mentioned in job 365 00:22:50,741 --> 00:22:53,741 rich areas that are transit poor, parking 366 00:22:53,741 --> 00:22:55,741 minimums are going to be lowered and 367 00:22:55,741 --> 00:22:57,741 that's only going to make the situation 368 00:22:57,741 --> 00:23:02,541 worse than it is right now. S. B. 50 369 00:23:10,741 --> 00:23:15,541 treats san mateo the way they would treat 370 00:23:17,681 --> 00:23:20,681 huntington beach and other areas. I 371 00:23:20,681 --> 00:23:24,881 don't think this one size fits all 372 00:23:26,681 --> 00:23:30,881 approach will work. I also have some 373 00:23:32,681 --> 00:23:33,681 concerns for historic neighborhoods such 374 00:23:33,681 --> 00:23:37,681 as historic park that will only take a 375 00:23:37,681 --> 00:23:39,681 couple enterprising developer to acquire 376 00:23:39,681 --> 00:23:43,681 one or two adjoining small bungalows and 377 00:23:43,681 --> 00:23:46,681 before you know it, it could change the 378 00:23:46,681 --> 00:23:48,681 complete neighborhood. That's why I'm 379 00:23:48,681 --> 00:23:49,681 against s. B. 50. 380 00:23:49,681 --> 00:23:52,681 >> okay, thank you. Council member 381 00:23:52,681 --> 00:23:53,681 goethals? 382 00:23:53,681 --> 00:23:54,681 >> council member goethals: thank you, 383 00:23:54,681 --> 00:23:57,681 mayor. I think my fellow colleagues have 384 00:23:57,681 --> 00:23:59,681 said it quite well that we agree with the 385 00:23:59,681 --> 00:24:02,681 principles of s. B. 50 and housing is a 386 00:24:02,681 --> 00:24:04,681 critical issue for so many people in the 387 00:24:04,681 --> 00:24:07,681 bay area with our jobs housing 388 00:24:07,681 --> 00:24:11,281 imbalances. We agree with the principal 389 00:24:11,681 --> 00:24:13,621 with which the legislators tried to 390 00:24:13,621 --> 00:24:17,821 approach this issue, but they have sort 391 00:24:19,621 --> 00:24:22,621 of usurped the local city councils jobs. 392 00:24:22,621 --> 00:24:26,621 our job is land use, our job is to make 393 00:24:26,621 --> 00:24:29,621 our community what our residents want it 394 00:24:29,621 --> 00:24:32,621 to be. So that is something that s. B. 395 00:24:32,621 --> 00:24:35,621 50 violates and we want to make sure that 396 00:24:35,621 --> 00:24:38,621 we retain that local control that is 397 00:24:38,621 --> 00:24:40,621 critical to communities like ours. I 398 00:24:40,621 --> 00:24:44,621 think that rick is right about one thing 399 00:24:44,621 --> 00:24:46,621 which is that the blood sport of 400 00:24:46,621 --> 00:24:49,621 washington and the blood sport of 401 00:24:49,621 --> 00:24:52,621 sacramento is to amend bills constantly 402 00:24:52,621 --> 00:24:54,621 and get people to take positions and end 403 00:24:54,621 --> 00:24:57,621 up on both sides of it based on 404 00:24:57,621 --> 00:25:00,621 amendments that are made. I 405 00:25:02,621 --> 00:25:04,621 do think at a minimum we should talk 406 00:25:04,621 --> 00:25:09,421 about it so there is no confusion going 407 00:25:09,621 --> 00:25:14,421 forward. I don't know that we need to 408 00:25:23,561 --> 00:25:27,561 spell out all the amendments we want 409 00:25:27,561 --> 00:25:30,561 because I don't know how many members 410 00:25:30,561 --> 00:25:34,561 could vote for it, and really, we have to 411 00:25:34,561 --> 00:25:37,561 be more responsible in what san mateo is 412 00:25:37,561 --> 00:25:40,561 doing. I don't think we have turned down 413 00:25:40,561 --> 00:25:42,561 any housing units except for one in the 414 00:25:42,561 --> 00:25:45,561 last number of decades. So san mateo is 415 00:25:45,561 --> 00:25:49,561 trying to address this issue and I hope 416 00:25:49,561 --> 00:25:50,561 we continue moving forward. I would agree 417 00:25:50,561 --> 00:25:55,361 with the one proposal that rick had which 418 00:25:55,561 --> 00:26:00,561 was that we limit this to s. B. 50 in 419 00:26:00,561 --> 00:26:02,561 its current form. Certainly we agree on 420 00:26:02,561 --> 00:26:06,561 all of its principals and the way this is 421 00:26:06,561 --> 00:26:10,561 written. I don't want to get into the 422 00:26:10,561 --> 00:26:13,501 amendments and whether one questions the 423 00:26:13,501 --> 00:26:17,501 good things that might be added to it or 424 00:26:17,501 --> 00:26:20,501 bad things that might be added to it. 425 00:26:20,501 --> 00:26:22,501 those are my $0.02. 426 00:26:22,501 --> 00:26:25,501 >> mayor diane papan: let me weigh in a 427 00:26:25,501 --> 00:26:29,501 little bit. I think the legislature is 428 00:26:29,501 --> 00:26:33,501 trying to do something about the housing 429 00:26:33,501 --> 00:26:38,301 imbalances. But it can't make me do this 430 00:26:39,501 --> 00:26:43,701 by amendment. I think the local control 431 00:26:47,501 --> 00:26:51,501 will go away. And I think each individual 432 00:26:51,501 --> 00:26:53,501 locality has constraints and those 433 00:26:53,501 --> 00:26:55,501 constraints might be that you have water 434 00:26:55,501 --> 00:26:57,501 such as we do, we have a lot of open 435 00:26:57,501 --> 00:27:01,701 space and we have topography that we 436 00:27:08,501 --> 00:27:11,501 can't take into account. And those that 437 00:27:11,501 --> 00:27:14,501 tell me, don't reject it, tell me how you 438 00:27:14,501 --> 00:27:18,501 can amend it. I don't know how you can 439 00:27:18,501 --> 00:27:20,501 usurp land use from local control because 440 00:27:20,501 --> 00:27:23,501 so much has to be balanced at the local 441 00:27:23,501 --> 00:27:26,501 level whether that is physical, 442 00:27:27,501 --> 00:27:29,501 topography, open space, the fiscal 443 00:27:29,501 --> 00:27:32,501 constraints that might come with it, how 444 00:27:32,501 --> 00:27:36,501 do you finance this structure that might 445 00:27:36,501 --> 00:27:38,501 be needed, how do you take into account 446 00:27:38,501 --> 00:27:42,501 what you define as a jobs rich area and 447 00:27:42,501 --> 00:27:47,901 how do you impede in the equal. I don't 448 00:27:52,501 --> 00:27:54,501 think there is an answer. At this point, 449 00:27:54,501 --> 00:27:57,501 I don't see land use being done at the 450 00:27:57,501 --> 00:28:00,501 state. I just don't see it. I have heard 451 00:28:00,501 --> 00:28:05,301 the author of bill say, well, the state 452 00:28:05,501 --> 00:28:07,901 controls education. That's comparing 453 00:28:12,441 --> 00:28:16,641 apples to oranges. My remarks are dove 454 00:28:24,441 --> 00:28:28,410 tailed. Does anyone have anything else? 455 00:28:28,441 --> 00:28:31,441 okay, let's open up for public comment. 456 00:28:31,441 --> 00:28:35,641 if anyone has anything from open comment 457 00:28:36,441 --> 00:28:39,441 and then we'll take the vote. 458 00:28:39,441 --> 00:28:40,441 >> 459 00:28:40,441 --> 00:28:41,441 public speaker: good evening, mayor 460 00:28:41,441 --> 00:28:44,441 papan, council members, I have to tell 461 00:28:44,441 --> 00:28:48,441 you I'm very proud of san mateo. San 462 00:28:48,441 --> 00:28:50,441 mateo has been a leader in affordable 463 00:28:50,441 --> 00:28:52,441 housing and I think it's close to 4,000 464 00:28:52,441 --> 00:28:56,441 units as we count the bay meadows one 465 00:28:56,441 --> 00:29:00,441 laid out in the late 90s. We have done a 466 00:29:00,441 --> 00:29:02,441 great job. I'm here to say that I think 467 00:29:02,441 --> 00:29:06,441 this letter that you are sending is well 468 00:29:06,441 --> 00:29:11,241 drafted, but I think you need to change. 469 00:29:12,381 --> 00:29:17,181 the change poll was in san francisco that 470 00:29:17,381 --> 00:29:21,581 61% of californians were in favor of it 471 00:29:24,381 --> 00:29:27,381 and 41% of the republicans were in favor 472 00:29:27,381 --> 00:29:32,381 of it. This is not led by a district by 473 00:29:32,381 --> 00:29:35,381 the leaders. And it's much harder to 474 00:29:35,381 --> 00:29:40,181 give up authority than to get it. So 475 00:29:40,381 --> 00:29:43,381 watch out because people are going to 476 00:29:43,381 --> 00:29:44,381 like it. 477 00:29:44,381 --> 00:29:47,381 I disagree mildly in two areas. I think 478 00:29:47,381 --> 00:29:49,381 if I were writing the letter and my 479 00:29:49,381 --> 00:29:52,981 experience with legislation is that after 480 00:29:55,381 --> 00:29:59,381 the word "oppose", I would put "unless 481 00:29:59,381 --> 00:30:03,381 amended" because that does give you some 482 00:30:03,381 --> 00:30:04,381 leverage. And actually, weiner is going 483 00:30:04,381 --> 00:30:07,381 to be in san mateo county thursday night. 484 00:30:07,381 --> 00:30:11,381 you can talk to him at the central 485 00:30:11,381 --> 00:30:16,181 committee. I just got an e-mail that he 486 00:30:22,321 --> 00:30:24,321 was going to be there. 487 00:30:24,321 --> 00:30:27,321 >> he can come here. I will make time. 488 00:30:27,321 --> 00:30:31,521 >> the only thing I don't disagree with 489 00:30:32,321 --> 00:30:35,321 is on the issue how much it's going to 490 00:30:35,321 --> 00:30:38,321 change san mateo because we have some 491 00:30:38,321 --> 00:30:42,321 areas that are higher than s. B. 50. And 492 00:30:42,321 --> 00:30:45,321 quite frankly, I don't believe someone is 493 00:30:45,321 --> 00:30:50,721 going to buy 2-3 lots in san mateo and 494 00:30:53,321 --> 00:30:57,521 pay the taxes. The development, there is 495 00:31:01,321 --> 00:31:05,321 so much below market value. I would not 496 00:31:05,321 --> 00:31:11,321 be in favor of that and nor would I fight 497 00:31:11,321 --> 00:31:14,261 it. Let's send that senate bill 50 that 498 00:31:14,261 --> 00:31:16,261 it recognizes that we are different from 499 00:31:16,261 --> 00:31:19,261 everybody else and let's not let cities 500 00:31:19,261 --> 00:31:21,261 that developed employers with 25,000 501 00:31:21,261 --> 00:31:23,261 employees and build very little housing. 502 00:31:23,261 --> 00:31:25,261 let's not let them off the hook. They are 503 00:31:25,261 --> 00:31:29,261 the ones creating all of our traffic. If 504 00:31:29,261 --> 00:31:32,261 you don't believe me, come up 280 in the 505 00:31:32,261 --> 00:31:34,261 evening and see where it starts. Thank 506 00:31:34,261 --> 00:31:36,261 you. 507 00:31:38,261 --> 00:31:41,261 >> next speaker is nathan hams. 508 00:31:52,261 --> 00:31:55,261 public speaker: good evening, council 509 00:31:56,261 --> 00:31:59,261 members. I'm going to take a slightly 510 00:31:59,261 --> 00:32:02,261 different approach and talk about climate 511 00:32:02,261 --> 00:32:04,261 change aspect. I have been concerned 512 00:32:04,261 --> 00:32:06,261 about climate change for a long time and 513 00:32:06,261 --> 00:32:09,261 it's got to be really hard for someone 514 00:32:09,261 --> 00:32:12,201 who is concerned about climate change and 515 00:32:12,201 --> 00:32:17,601 look at the news, there is the typhoon in 516 00:32:20,201 --> 00:32:23,201 east africa and the flooding in the 517 00:32:23,201 --> 00:32:26,201 midwest and a president who is denying 518 00:32:26,201 --> 00:32:31,100 this is even an issue. It's scary to 519 00:32:33,201 --> 00:32:35,201 what is happening today and what is the 520 00:32:35,201 --> 00:32:37,201 prediction for the future. I should be 521 00:32:37,201 --> 00:32:41,401 thinking about having kids in the next 522 00:32:42,201 --> 00:32:44,201 couple years and I don't really want to 523 00:32:44,201 --> 00:32:47,201 have them. I don't know if the 524 00:32:47,201 --> 00:32:49,201 projections and the human dislocation 525 00:32:49,201 --> 00:32:52,201 that might happen as a result of these 526 00:32:52,201 --> 00:32:54,201 changes, is that the type of world that 527 00:32:54,201 --> 00:32:57,201 we should be bringing children in? 528 00:32:57,201 --> 00:33:00,201 that's my own personal opinion by the 529 00:33:00,201 --> 00:33:02,201 way, and everyone is entitled to their 530 00:33:02,201 --> 00:33:04,201 own evaluation about this. But it is 531 00:33:04,201 --> 00:33:08,401 something that weighs very heavily on me. 532 00:33:09,201 --> 00:33:11,201 the last attempt to do climate 533 00:33:11,201 --> 00:33:13,141 legislation at the federal level was in 534 00:33:13,141 --> 00:33:17,141 2009. So e in the last 10 years nothing 535 00:33:17,141 --> 00:33:19,141 has been done to address climate change 536 00:33:19,141 --> 00:33:23,141 at the federal level, and the latest 537 00:33:23,141 --> 00:33:25,141 report says that we have 12 years to 538 00:33:25,141 --> 00:33:29,141 really bend the curve on emissions. I 539 00:33:29,141 --> 00:33:32,741 really encourage the city council members 540 00:33:33,141 --> 00:33:36,141 and every policy member at every level to 541 00:33:36,141 --> 00:33:38,141 address this issue as the last best 542 00:33:38,141 --> 00:33:42,141 attempt to address this issue. You may 543 00:33:42,141 --> 00:33:44,141 equitable with the details of s. B. 50 544 00:33:44,141 --> 00:33:48,141 about the ways it might undermine your 545 00:33:48,141 --> 00:33:52,141 control overland use, but I think this is 546 00:33:52,141 --> 00:33:56,341 our last best attempt to reiterate and 547 00:33:58,141 --> 00:34:01,741 reorient our culture and reorient our 548 00:34:04,141 --> 00:34:07,141 upward trajectory on upward emissions. 549 00:34:07,141 --> 00:34:11,341 the report says that california is making 550 00:34:18,810 --> 00:34:21,681 progress on reducing emissions. I would 551 00:34:27,810 --> 00:34:30,810 strongly ask you not to oppose this bill. 552 00:34:30,810 --> 00:34:33,810 this is a serious issue. We need to 553 00:34:33,810 --> 00:34:36,810 solve it, and I believe this is our last 554 00:34:36,810 --> 00:34:38,810 best attempt to solve it. Thank you. 555 00:34:38,810 --> 00:34:40,810 don't let it slip away. 556 00:34:40,810 --> 00:34:43,681 >> thank you, mr. Chen. Clerk next 557 00:34:56,810 --> 00:34:58,481 speaker is thomas heiser. 558 00:34:59,810 --> 00:35:00,810 >> 559 00:35:00,810 --> 00:35:02,810 public speaker: thank you, I'm going to 560 00:35:02,810 --> 00:35:05,681 talk about the largest single generator 561 00:35:07,810 --> 00:35:10,810 of greenhouse gas emissions in southern 562 00:35:10,810 --> 00:35:13,210 california is vehicles and larger that 563 00:35:13,210 --> 00:35:15,210 any other single 564 00:35:19,210 --> 00:35:23,821 category, and the most report I have read 565 00:35:26,210 --> 00:35:29,210 is lengthening the commute. If you watch 566 00:35:29,210 --> 00:35:31,210 the traffic eastbound in the evening for 567 00:35:31,210 --> 00:35:34,210 everyone that works on the peninsula and 568 00:35:34,210 --> 00:35:37,210 can't afford to live here because 569 00:35:37,210 --> 00:35:41,821 relative to the job growth in the last 20 570 00:35:43,210 --> 00:35:46,621 years, that's where these emissions are 571 00:35:53,210 --> 00:35:57,221 coming from. There are going to have 572 00:36:02,210 --> 00:36:06,210 been some decisions to be made about 573 00:36:06,210 --> 00:36:07,210 where these panels are going to be. We 574 00:36:07,210 --> 00:36:11,210 have to take as much responsibility about 575 00:36:11,210 --> 00:36:15,221 what we are doing locally. Lastly said, 576 00:36:15,961 --> 00:36:18,961 I'm in support of s. B. 50. That is 577 00:36:18,961 --> 00:36:21,961 probably a lost cause on my part. I do 578 00:36:21,961 --> 00:36:26,161 want to say I saw the draft 579 00:36:28,961 --> 00:36:32,561 to the letter. I'm confused under .3 580 00:36:33,961 --> 00:36:37,961 where it talks about the constraints and 581 00:36:37,961 --> 00:36:41,561 water. And s. B. 50 listed the 582 00:36:41,961 --> 00:36:42,961 amenities and the physical 583 00:36:42,961 --> 00:36:43,961 characteristics of the land. I don't know 584 00:36:43,961 --> 00:36:47,961 how to read that. This isn't in the 585 00:36:47,961 --> 00:36:48,961 bill. S. B. 50 isn't going to require 586 00:36:48,961 --> 00:36:51,961 that we are filling in the bay half a 587 00:36:51,961 --> 00:36:54,961 mile from the train station. I don't 588 00:36:54,961 --> 00:36:55,961 understand how that is relevant to the 589 00:36:55,961 --> 00:37:00,761 discussion of s. B. 50. Also as far as 590 00:37:00,961 --> 00:37:01,961 mandating heights and densities, it's 591 00:37:01,961 --> 00:37:03,961 really to allow the property owners to 592 00:37:03,961 --> 00:37:05,961 choose the density. It's not that the 593 00:37:05,961 --> 00:37:10,761 state is going to come and build five 594 00:37:11,961 --> 00:37:13,961 buildings. It's allowing them to build 595 00:37:13,961 --> 00:37:17,961 to the choice they want. And also on 596 00:37:17,961 --> 00:37:20,961 fiscal impacts, it does raise an 597 00:37:20,961 --> 00:37:24,961 interesting point if one of the corner 598 00:37:24,961 --> 00:37:27,961 stones of the opposition of s. B. 50, as 599 00:37:27,961 --> 00:37:30,961 I believe the letter states there are 600 00:37:30,961 --> 00:37:32,961 challenges with meeting pension 601 00:37:32,961 --> 00:37:33,961 obligations with san mateo, and the 602 00:37:33,961 --> 00:37:36,961 interest of seeing basically where we are 603 00:37:36,961 --> 00:37:39,961 raise revenue for land, where are the 604 00:37:39,961 --> 00:37:42,961 well performing land use in this town and 605 00:37:42,961 --> 00:37:46,961 where is the property tax and changing 606 00:37:46,961 --> 00:37:50,561 the 1 story house to abusiness building, 607 00:37:52,961 --> 00:37:57,761 I would like to see that analysis.

There 612 00:38:09,961 --> 00:38:11,901 is so much to talk about here. But I 613 00:38:11,901 --> 00:38:14,901 would like to start here just by saying I 614 00:38:14,901 --> 00:38:17,901 really believe, I have been very proud of 615 00:38:17,901 --> 00:38:19,901 how our council has acted the last few 616 00:38:19,901 --> 00:38:21,901 years. I think there are many cities 617 00:38:21,901 --> 00:38:24,901 along the peninsula that have not acted 618 00:38:24,901 --> 00:38:26,901 the way ours has and I think that really 619 00:38:26,901 --> 00:38:31,901 gets to the crux of why I support s. B. 620 00:38:31,901 --> 00:38:36,701 50. The is rest of the peninsula is not 621 00:38:37,901 --> 00:38:38,901 doing their share and I don't think in 622 00:38:38,901 --> 00:38:40,901 the past we have either.

We are a 661 00:42:05,721 --> 00:42:08,721 club that is very concerned 662 00:42:09,721 --> 00:42:12,661 about quality of life issues. These are 663 00:42:12,661 --> 00:42:16,661 young people that come and we represent 664 00:42:16,661 --> 00:42:20,861 democrats in the area to allow more 665 00:42:22,661 --> 00:42:27,461 people to come here and live here more 666 00:42:27,661 --> 00:42:31,261 comfortably. And we are concerned that 667 00:42:33,661 --> 00:42:36,661 we ought to be able to stay here. I know 668 00:42:36,661 --> 00:42:40,661 there is a history in san mateo of 669 00:42:40,661 --> 00:42:43,610 building transient oriented development. 670 00:42:44,661 --> 00:42:47,661 lastly, I want to say, the environmental 671 00:42:47,661 --> 00:42:50,661 impact here is really significant and we 672 00:42:50,661 --> 00:42:54,861 shouldn't take it for granted. The focus 673 00:42:56,661 --> 00:42:59,661 here on building transient oriented 674 00:42:59,661 --> 00:43:01,661 development and building away from 675 00:43:01,661 --> 00:43:04,661 transportation and I think building 676 00:43:07,661 --> 00:43:11,601 transit will get people out of their 677 00:43:11,601 --> 00:43:16,401 cars. I live near the hayward station and 678 00:43:17,601 --> 00:43:19,601 I use the caltrain. Young people support 679 00:43:19,601 --> 00:43:25,100 s. B. 50 and I hope you take my advice. 680 00:43:37,601 --> 00:43:39,601 >> anyone else? 681 00:43:39,601 --> 00:43:40,601 >> okay, back to council. 682 00:43:40,601 --> 00:43:42,601 >> former mayor rick bonilla: I missed 683 00:43:42,601 --> 00:43:47,401 an important thing which is that we need 684 00:43:47,601 --> 00:43:51,601 to remember that s. B. 50 is also an 685 00:43:51,601 --> 00:43:53,601 attempt to cut greenhouse gas emissions 686 00:43:53,601 --> 00:43:56,601 in a very large way because that is 687 00:43:56,601 --> 00:44:00,801 another end to the full circle with 688 00:44:01,601 --> 00:44:03,601 housing and if we are able to do this 689 00:44:03,601 --> 00:44:06,601 right, we are able to cut greenhouse gas 690 00:44:06,601 --> 00:44:09,601 emissions and which leads to sea level 691 00:44:09,601 --> 00:44:11,541 rise. We need to work to get these 692 00:44:11,541 --> 00:44:13,541 things under control if we can get people 693 00:44:13,541 --> 00:44:15,541 to live closer to where they work and the 694 00:44:15,541 --> 00:44:18,541 more that is done, get them out of their 695 00:44:18,541 --> 00:44:22,141 cars, we eliminate the congestion and 696 00:44:22,541 --> 00:44:24,541 also our neighborhood streets, we'll be 697 00:44:24,541 --> 00:44:26,541 that much better off. That said, I agree 698 00:44:26,541 --> 00:44:28,541 this needs to be done in an organized 699 00:44:28,541 --> 00:44:31,541 manner that the people of san mateo can 700 00:44:31,541 --> 00:44:33,541 live with. So, that said, I will go back 701 00:44:33,541 --> 00:44:35,541 to what I think which is that the 702 00:44:35,541 --> 00:44:38,541 legislature has a raft of these kind of 703 00:44:38,541 --> 00:44:40,541 bills going through right now. And I 704 00:44:40,541 --> 00:44:43,541 think it's a good time to rather than 705 00:44:43,541 --> 00:44:45,541 oppose right off the top to say how can 706 00:44:45,541 --> 00:44:47,541 we work with you. My mention still would 707 00:44:47,541 --> 00:44:50,541 be that we would oppose unless amended 708 00:44:50,541 --> 00:44:53,541 and state all the reasons why we think it 709 00:44:53,541 --> 00:44:55,541 needs to be amended. We don't have to 710 00:44:55,541 --> 00:44:58,541 state them in long form and we can just 711 00:44:58,541 --> 00:45:00,541 state them in general because this is 712 00:45:00,541 --> 00:45:03,541 something that will continue to be worked 713 00:45:03,541 --> 00:45:08,341 on, it's not finished and not ready to 714 00:45:08,541 --> 00:45:10,541 oppose and support, it's really to say we 715 00:45:10,541 --> 00:45:12,481 are in, let's participate, let's try to 716 00:45:12,481 --> 00:45:14,481 get the right thing done. And in the 717 00:45:14,481 --> 00:45:16,481 end, if it's something we can't support, 718 00:45:16,481 --> 00:45:20,481 then we don't support it I guess as a 719 00:45:20,481 --> 00:45:22,481 council. That's it. Right now I have a 720 00:45:22,481 --> 00:45:24,481 problem just coming out just saying that 721 00:45:24,481 --> 00:45:29,281 I oppose it. So thank you very much. 722 00:45:37,481 --> 00:45:39,481 >> deputy mayor maureen freschet: I have 723 00:45:39,481 --> 00:45:42,481 a concern and I hear what you are saying, 724 00:45:42,481 --> 00:45:46,681 but the state hasn't asked us to 725 00:45:47,481 --> 00:45:48,481 participate. To say that we are opposed 726 00:45:48,481 --> 00:45:53,881 to it unless we are amending, how can we 727 00:45:54,481 --> 00:45:59,481 amend it if we have not engaged in these 728 00:45:59,481 --> 00:46:00,481 conversations. If we say we have a lot 729 00:46:00,481 --> 00:46:03,481 of concern with this and the state is 730 00:46:03,481 --> 00:46:05,481 saying, here is what we want to hear from 731 00:46:05,481 --> 00:46:08,481 you, here is what we are looking at and 732 00:46:08,481 --> 00:46:11,421 how does this affect the cities from 733 00:46:11,421 --> 00:46:14,421 doing their share but I'm not seeing that 734 00:46:14,421 --> 00:46:17,421 happen that's why I'm having a concern to 735 00:46:17,421 --> 00:46:21,421 say that we oppose it because how can we 736 00:46:21,421 --> 00:46:25,621 oppose it if we are not limiting. 737 00:46:26,421 --> 00:46:31,221 >> I spoke with scott weiner and he will 738 00:46:32,421 --> 00:46:35,421 be available to speak with people. 739 00:46:35,421 --> 00:46:37,421 anytime they take action, it's posted on 740 00:46:37,421 --> 00:46:41,621 their website and we can track it. 741 00:46:44,421 --> 00:46:47,421 >> I think I would have preferred they 742 00:46:47,421 --> 00:46:51,621 come before us before makeing this come 743 00:47:02,421 --> 00:47:03,421 forward. 744 00:47:03,421 --> 00:47:05,421 >> I think san mateo is in the middle 745 00:47:05,421 --> 00:47:06,421 right now of a big general plan 746 00:47:06,421 --> 00:47:08,421 discussion. We are talking about height 747 00:47:08,421 --> 00:47:11,421 limits, we are talking about density, we 748 00:47:11,421 --> 00:47:14,421 are talking about how maybe a one size 749 00:47:14,421 --> 00:47:16,421 fits all approach doesn't work for 750 00:47:16,421 --> 00:47:20,210 everything in san mateo and maybe 751 00:47:20,421 --> 00:47:21,421 different different parcels deserve 752 00:47:21,421 --> 00:47:24,421 different height limits and to just take 753 00:47:24,421 --> 00:47:28,421 that away right now and say, councils do 754 00:47:28,421 --> 00:47:31,421 not have a say in that discussion, that's 755 00:47:31,421 --> 00:47:34,421 going to completely alter the community 756 00:47:34,421 --> 00:47:37,421 discussion just like enacting measure p 757 00:47:37,421 --> 00:47:42,221 would be before we are finished with the 758 00:47:43,421 --> 00:47:47,210 general plan process. So it's really 759 00:47:52,421 --> 00:47:57,421 hard for me to say let's wait when at the 760 00:47:57,421 --> 00:48:02,221 core it's very bad. It's like our city 761 00:48:05,421 --> 00:48:10,421 in san mateo, we have done so much. In 762 00:48:10,421 --> 00:48:13,361 the last 6-7 years, we have really ramped 763 00:48:13,361 --> 00:48:16,361 it up, I don't think it's fair for san 764 00:48:16,361 --> 00:48:18,361 mateo residents and they are the ones who 765 00:48:18,361 --> 00:48:19,361 voted us in here. 766 00:48:19,361 --> 00:48:21,361 >> do you have anything to add? 767 00:48:21,361 --> 00:48:25,561 >> just briefly. I want to agree with 768 00:48:26,361 --> 00:48:29,961 what council member rodriguez just said 769 00:48:30,361 --> 00:48:34,361 that these outside forces were trying to 770 00:48:34,361 --> 00:48:36,361 influence the landscape of san mateo 771 00:48:36,361 --> 00:48:38,361 makes it very difficult for us to do our 772 00:48:38,361 --> 00:48:41,361 jobs in representing san mateo residents. 773 00:48:41,361 --> 00:48:45,361 we have a huge jobs housing imbalances. 774 00:48:45,361 --> 00:48:48,361 it's a crisis. I don't think the state 775 00:48:48,361 --> 00:48:49,361 legislature would be writing bills like 776 00:48:49,361 --> 00:48:52,361 this if it wasn't a crisis facing the 777 00:48:52,361 --> 00:48:55,361 entire state, a crisis that affects 778 00:48:55,361 --> 00:48:58,361 transportation, housing, quality of life, 779 00:48:58,361 --> 00:49:02,361 on a massive scale. They didn't weight 780 00:49:02,361 --> 00:49:03,361 into this lightly. I appreciate that they 781 00:49:03,361 --> 00:49:08,361 are trying to take it as serious as it 782 00:49:08,361 --> 00:49:12,301 is. We are also trying to take a 783 00:49:12,301 --> 00:49:15,301 principaled view that we are doing the 784 00:49:15,301 --> 00:49:18,301 right thing and these are measures that 785 00:49:18,301 --> 00:49:21,301 should be done at the city level. With 786 00:49:21,301 --> 00:49:25,301 all that has been said, I would ask that 787 00:49:25,301 --> 00:49:29,301 we amend the letter in so far as we say 788 00:49:29,301 --> 00:49:33,501 that in its current iteration, we oppose 789 00:49:34,301 --> 00:49:36,301 it. With what it says right now. Not 790 00:49:36,301 --> 00:49:40,301 knowing how it will be amended, not 791 00:49:40,301 --> 00:49:42,301 knowing whether we will agree or disagree 792 00:49:42,301 --> 00:49:44,301 with those amendments, if we are going to 793 00:49:44,301 --> 00:49:47,301 to state an opinion, it's time sensitive 794 00:49:47,301 --> 00:49:52,701 to what's in it right now in its current 795 00:49:53,301 --> 00:49:56,901 forms. Those words would be sufficient. 796 00:50:01,301 --> 00:50:04,301 >> madam mayor, that will save us and 797 00:50:04,301 --> 00:50:07,301 give us room at the table. If we simply 798 00:50:07,301 --> 00:50:12,701 say that we are opposing it, no one will 799 00:50:18,241 --> 00:50:19,241 hear us. 800 00:50:19,241 --> 00:50:21,241 >> I do not agree with that. Taking this 801 00:50:21,241 --> 00:50:23,241 stance is not an anti-housing stance, it 802 00:50:23,241 --> 00:50:26,241 is not a stance that we don't want to see 803 00:50:26,241 --> 00:50:30,241 housing in this community near jobs. The 804 00:50:30,241 --> 00:50:33,241 only reason why at least in my opinion 805 00:50:33,241 --> 00:50:35,241 that I'm taking this stance is that I 806 00:50:35,241 --> 00:50:38,241 want to see it done right for the 807 00:50:38,241 --> 00:50:41,841 residents of this community. I'm not 808 00:50:45,241 --> 00:50:49,241 against giving away authority, but it has 809 00:50:49,241 --> 00:50:52,241 done this balance in the competing 810 00:50:52,241 --> 00:50:53,241 interest. I appreciate the information 811 00:50:53,241 --> 00:50:58,410 given by mr. Grimes, but in actuality, we 812 00:50:58,241 --> 00:51:03,410 have had housing shortage but not to this 813 00:51:03,241 --> 00:51:06,241 degree that it has kept up with jobs. We 814 00:51:06,241 --> 00:51:08,241 did relative well up to that point. When 815 00:51:08,241 --> 00:51:11,181 I look at this community and see what 816 00:51:11,181 --> 00:51:13,181 this community has done, I don't see that 817 00:51:13,181 --> 00:51:16,181 bill as being data driven. I don't see 818 00:51:16,181 --> 00:51:18,181 this bill as saying, these communities 819 00:51:18,181 --> 00:51:22,181 given water on one side that it is 820 00:51:22,181 --> 00:51:26,381 confusing to you, don't let it be 821 00:51:27,181 --> 00:51:30,181 confusing to you, there are areas that 822 00:51:30,181 --> 00:51:33,181 may already be dense. I think cities and 823 00:51:33,181 --> 00:51:37,381 localities are in the best positions to 824 00:51:39,181 --> 00:51:40,181 weigh those constraints. I don't think 825 00:51:40,181 --> 00:51:43,181 this is an anti-housing position. I think 826 00:51:43,181 --> 00:51:45,181 this is housing position that can happen 827 00:51:45,181 --> 00:51:48,781 and within the constraints for particular 828 00:51:49,181 --> 00:51:50,181 community and that's what we are trying 829 00:51:50,181 --> 00:51:53,181 to achieve by opposing the bill. I 830 00:51:53,181 --> 00:51:55,181 appreciate and usually I'm one to say 831 00:51:55,181 --> 00:51:57,181 let's keep the dialogue going, but the 832 00:51:57,181 --> 00:52:00,181 underlying premise of this bill, I don't 833 00:52:00,181 --> 00:52:03,781 see how you get that back. 834 00:52:10,181 --> 00:52:13,121 >> deputy mayor maureen freschet: I 835 00:52:13,121 --> 00:52:16,121 would agree, I don't see how they can 836 00:52:16,121 --> 00:52:19,121 take back the local control and once they 837 00:52:19,121 --> 00:52:21,121 take it, that's a big problem. 838 00:52:21,121 --> 00:52:23,121 >> I don't have anything further to add. 839 00:52:23,121 --> 00:52:26,121 do we have a motion and we'll go from 840 00:52:26,121 --> 00:52:27,121 there. 841 00:52:27,121 --> 00:52:28,121 >> deputy mayor maureen freschet: I will 842 00:52:28,121 --> 00:52:32,921 make a motion that we approve the letters 843 00:52:33,121 --> 00:52:35,121 s. B. 50 letter of opposition and 844 00:52:35,121 --> 00:52:37,121 approve for the mayor to sign that. 845 00:52:37,121 --> 00:52:39,521 >> I second that motion. 846 00:52:42,121 --> 00:52:43,121 >> okay, all in favor say, "aye". 847 00:52:43,121 --> 00:52:44,121 >> aye. 848 00:52:44,121 --> 00:52:45,121 >> any opposed? 849 00:52:45,121 --> 00:52:46,121 >> no. 850 00:52:46,121 --> 00:52:47,121 >> abstained? 851 00:52:47,121 --> 00:52:48,121 >> abstained. 852 00:52:48,121 --> 00:52:52,321 >> okay, that will pass 3-1. Excuse me. 853 00:52:56,121 --> 00:53:00,921 >> let me ask, can we have the letter 854 00:53:08,121 --> 00:53:11,121 state the amount of support. 855 00:53:12,610 --> 00:53:13,610 >> we are already done. 856 00:53:13,610 --> 00:53:16,610 >> I don't see any other support. 857 00:53:16,610 --> 00:53:19,661 >> okay, we'll move on to item 16, 858 00:53:22,610 --> 00:53:24,610 wastewater treatment plant modifications 859 00:53:24,610 --> 00:53:27,610 agendaaddendum. Sorry, let's go to 860 00:53:27,610 --> 00:53:29,610 public comment. 861 00:53:30,610 --> 00:53:32,610 >>clerk: I have no speaker slips. 862 00:53:32,610 --> 00:53:35,661 >> okay. We will go to item 16, 863 00:53:36,610 --> 00:53:38,461 wastewater treatment plant modifications. 864 00:54:04,610 --> 00:54:07,661 >> good evening, mayor papan and members 865 00:54:08,610 --> 00:54:11,661 of the council. I'm the community 866 00:54:23,100 --> 00:54:26,100 development director and I will be making 867 00:54:26,100 --> 00:54:29,100 the presentation on the wastewater 868 00:54:31,100 --> 00:54:32,100 treatment plant modifications. Brad and 869 00:54:32,100 --> 00:54:34,100 I will tag team the presentation. I will 870 00:54:34,100 --> 00:54:37,100 go over the purpose first. Brad will give 871 00:54:37,100 --> 00:54:39,100 us the reasons on why this modification 872 00:54:39,100 --> 00:54:41,100 is necessary and then I will take over 873 00:54:41,100 --> 00:54:44,100 and walk briefly on the background on how 874 00:54:44,100 --> 00:54:49,401 we got here and show you the designs and 875 00:54:50,100 --> 00:54:52,100 modification being prepared and the 876 00:54:52,100 --> 00:54:55,601 request of the council this evening. 877 00:55:06,100 --> 00:55:08,100 sorry about that. We only missed one 878 00:55:08,100 --> 00:55:10,941 slide, I think we are good. The purpose 879 00:55:10,941 --> 00:55:12,941 of the tonight's meeting is to consider 880 00:55:12,941 --> 00:55:15,941 the modifications made by the wastewater 881 00:55:15,941 --> 00:55:18,941 treatment plant approved by konl july 882 00:55:18,941 --> 00:55:20,941 2018. It is the site plan and 883 00:55:20,941 --> 00:55:22,941 architectural rhee which will also 884 00:55:22,941 --> 00:55:26,541 include a finding for the environmental 885 00:55:26,941 --> 00:55:30,541 adequacy and the second entitlement being 886 00:55:30,941 --> 00:55:32,941 requested tonight is an introduction to 887 00:55:32,941 --> 00:55:36,941 an ordinance to allow off site staging. 888 00:55:36,941 --> 00:55:39,941 >> members of council, I'm brad 889 00:55:39,941 --> 00:55:42,941 underwood, public works director. This 890 00:55:42,941 --> 00:55:43,941 item maybe familiar to you and I want to 891 00:55:43,941 --> 00:55:46,941 bring this forward to you about why the 892 00:55:46,941 --> 00:55:49,941 changes were occurring. You did approve 893 00:55:49,941 --> 00:55:53,941 this project this last july. As we 894 00:55:53,941 --> 00:55:57,541 received the cost estimate and the 60% 895 00:55:57,941 --> 00:56:00,941 design this past fall, the estimated kept 896 00:56:00,941 --> 00:56:02,941 climbing up higher and higher. So I 897 00:56:02,941 --> 00:56:06,941 decided to take a pause at the 60% design 898 00:56:06,941 --> 00:56:09,941 and do another evaluation engineering 899 00:56:09,941 --> 00:56:11,881 effort to see what we can do about the 900 00:56:11,881 --> 00:56:14,881 cost. We anticipate at $25 million in 901 00:56:14,881 --> 00:56:17,881 savings from this redesign and gmp one, 902 00:56:17,881 --> 00:56:21,481 we are seeing already $7 plus million 903 00:56:21,881 --> 00:56:26,810 difference as we have those costs already 904 00:56:27,881 --> 00:56:30,881 developed. And that's the smallest 905 00:56:30,881 --> 00:56:33,881 passage, so the $25 million could be 906 00:56:33,881 --> 00:56:37,881 higher than that. The design is still 907 00:56:37,881 --> 00:56:39,881 meeting the regulatory requirements. I 908 00:56:39,881 --> 00:56:41,881 found out additional information from the 909 00:56:41,881 --> 00:56:44,881 bay area water conservation authority 910 00:56:44,881 --> 00:56:46,881 about nutrient levels within the bay that 911 00:56:46,881 --> 00:56:49,881 would be needed and rather than having 912 00:56:49,881 --> 00:56:51,881 target levels which have been anticipated 913 00:56:51,881 --> 00:56:53,881 before, they are just asking that we move 914 00:56:53,881 --> 00:56:57,881 30% of the total nitrogen that we are 915 00:56:57,881 --> 00:57:00,881 going into the bay now from the san mateo 916 00:57:00,881 --> 00:57:03,881 plant. By 2024, if we complete that, it 917 00:57:03,881 --> 00:57:05,881 will be an early act which will then 918 00:57:05,881 --> 00:57:08,881 allow us not to be subject to future 919 00:57:08,881 --> 00:57:12,481 regulations in the area for sometime. 920 00:57:14,881 --> 00:57:18,481 we've also optimized the treatment plant 921 00:57:18,881 --> 00:57:21,881 process for warmer weather using a 922 00:57:21,881 --> 00:57:23,881 smaller footprint and it's a little less 923 00:57:23,881 --> 00:57:27,881 complex for the staff to utilize and 924 00:57:27,881 --> 00:57:30,881 implement. Also this maintains our 925 00:57:30,881 --> 00:57:32,881 current program objectives that I wish we 926 00:57:32,881 --> 00:57:37,810 had all along dealing with the aging 927 00:57:37,881 --> 00:57:39,881 infrastructure, meeting the regulations, 928 00:57:39,881 --> 00:57:43,481 building a wet weather capacity assurance 929 00:57:44,881 --> 00:57:48,481 through that multiprong approach if you 930 00:57:49,881 --> 00:57:52,881 recall the waste treatment plan and the 931 00:57:52,881 --> 00:57:54,881 sustainability goals. The benefits and 932 00:57:54,881 --> 00:57:56,881 modifications we are still meeting the 933 00:57:56,881 --> 00:57:59,881 water quality control board requirements 934 00:58:05,881 --> 00:58:07,881 and deadlines and this allows us to do 935 00:58:07,881 --> 00:58:10,821 that with the plans through these 936 00:58:10,821 --> 00:58:12,821 improvements. And we'll meet with the 937 00:58:12,821 --> 00:58:15,821 schedule and the three of you and I know 938 00:58:15,821 --> 00:58:18,821 with myself went to washington d.c. To 939 00:58:18,821 --> 00:58:20,821 talk to our legislators about the 940 00:58:20,821 --> 00:58:23,821 application which we have been accepted 941 00:58:23,821 --> 00:58:26,821 for and this results in a $100 million of 942 00:58:26,821 --> 00:58:28,821 interest savings to our ratepayers that 943 00:58:28,821 --> 00:58:31,821 will be very significant and will keep us 944 00:58:31,821 --> 00:58:33,821 on schedule for that application. 945 00:58:33,821 --> 00:58:36,821 mitigate, if we keep on process and we 946 00:58:36,821 --> 00:58:40,421 can continue the project going forward, 947 00:58:41,821 --> 00:58:44,821 we'll continue to not have the $1 million 948 00:58:44,821 --> 00:58:48,421 basically about $1 million a month in 949 00:58:50,821 --> 00:58:53,821 installation. We plan to be before you 950 00:58:53,821 --> 00:58:56,821 on june 6th with mp 1. 951 00:59:01,821 --> 00:59:04,821 >> so everybody knows where the 952 00:59:04,821 --> 00:59:05,821 wastewater treatment plant is located. 953 00:59:05,821 --> 00:59:09,821 but to make sure everyone is oriented. 954 00:59:09,821 --> 00:59:15,221 it's on the eastern bored of san mateo on 955 00:59:16,761 --> 00:59:19,761 clinton drive outlined here. The 956 00:59:20,761 --> 00:59:22,761 location of our wastewater treatment 957 00:59:22,761 --> 00:59:26,361 plant. Cal trans praud the wastewater 958 00:59:26,761 --> 00:59:29,761 treatment plant july 2018. Along with 959 00:59:29,761 --> 00:59:31,761 the clean water program provided an 960 00:59:31,761 --> 00:59:33,761 update and notified the council of the 961 00:59:33,761 --> 00:59:36,761 project modifications needed as brad just 962 00:59:36,761 --> 00:59:40,361 explained. This slide just chose this 963 00:59:40,761 --> 00:59:42,761 side by side comparison. The project 964 00:59:42,761 --> 00:59:45,761 that was approved on the left in july and 965 00:59:45,761 --> 00:59:47,761 the proposed modifications on the right. 966 00:59:47,761 --> 00:59:50,761 I will go over more detail on the next 967 00:59:50,761 --> 00:59:53,761 slide. The design modifications can be 968 00:59:53,761 --> 00:59:57,361 really summarized in 4 points. The first 969 00:59:57,761 --> 01:00:01,361 is the replacement of the circular 970 01:00:08,761 --> 01:00:11,701 clarifyers and the rectangle clarifyers 971 01:00:11,701 --> 01:00:15,901 and this is a total reduction of 25,000 972 01:00:16,701 --> 01:00:18,701 square feet. The original building was 973 01:00:18,701 --> 01:00:21,701 previously located adjacent to the 974 01:00:21,701 --> 01:00:23,701 wastewater treatment plant, now it's 975 01:00:23,701 --> 01:00:26,701 located directly adjacent to it. 976 01:00:27,701 --> 01:00:30,701 third, the maintenance warehouse was 977 01:00:30,701 --> 01:00:33,701 increased in size by about 2800 square 978 01:00:33,701 --> 01:00:35,701 feet and has an exchange in exterior 979 01:00:35,701 --> 01:00:37,701 materials which I will go into more 980 01:00:37,701 --> 01:00:41,901 details and show you elevations in the 981 01:00:44,701 --> 01:00:48,301 upcoming slides and fourth, the overall 982 01:00:49,701 --> 01:00:54,701 plant. So here is a view of the new 983 01:00:54,701 --> 01:00:58,901 modified project. You will see here the 984 01:01:00,701 --> 01:01:02,701 administration building was previously 985 01:01:02,701 --> 01:01:06,701 located on the site but further away from 986 01:01:06,701 --> 01:01:08,701 the treatment plant and adjacent and 987 01:01:08,701 --> 01:01:11,641 attachment to the treatment plant. The 988 01:01:11,641 --> 01:01:13,641 administration building stayed the same, 989 01:01:13,641 --> 01:01:16,641 however there were some slight 990 01:01:20,641 --> 01:01:24,841 modifications given the plaza and the new 991 01:01:26,641 --> 01:01:29,641 entrance and the side location of the 992 01:01:29,641 --> 01:01:32,641 plant were made with additional 993 01:01:32,641 --> 01:01:34,641 landscaping included. The landscape 994 01:01:34,641 --> 01:01:37,641 material and drought tolerant native 995 01:01:37,641 --> 01:01:38,641 landscaping however changing more of a 996 01:01:38,641 --> 01:01:41,641 pedestrian feel throughout the whole 997 01:01:43,641 --> 01:01:47,841 site. The wall here where the previous 998 01:01:50,641 --> 01:01:53,641 circular clarifiers, there was a curved 999 01:01:53,641 --> 01:01:59,410 wall and now there is a straight wall and 1000 01:02:01,641 --> 01:02:04,641 the estuary panels now provides a 1001 01:02:04,641 --> 01:02:07,641 screen for the rectangular wall. 1002 01:02:11,581 --> 01:02:14,581 now I'm going to walk you through a 1003 01:02:14,581 --> 01:02:18,581 pedestrian scale of the view. The first 1004 01:02:18,581 --> 01:02:22,581 image was a birds eye view which very few 1005 01:02:22,581 --> 01:02:24,581 will see. Here is the entrance on the 1006 01:02:24,581 --> 01:02:29,981 site and the top and the bottom is the 1007 01:02:30,581 --> 01:02:33,581 new proposed modifications. Again, you 1008 01:02:38,581 --> 01:02:43,381 can see the the middle of the estuary 1009 01:02:55,581 --> 01:02:58,581 path and the view to the site. The view 1010 01:02:58,581 --> 01:03:03,581 we saw earlier was from this side, now we 1011 01:03:03,581 --> 01:03:06,581 are walking towards the other side of the 1012 01:03:06,581 --> 01:03:09,581 wastewater treatment plant. Again, the 1013 01:03:09,581 --> 01:03:10,521 educational component previously approved 1014 01:03:10,521 --> 01:03:12,521 remain the same, the largest change you 1015 01:03:12,521 --> 01:03:16,521 will notice here is the change from the 1016 01:03:16,521 --> 01:03:19,521 circular clarifiers to the rectangular 1017 01:03:19,521 --> 01:03:23,721 clarifyers to the straight wall and the 1018 01:03:29,521 --> 01:03:31,521 mesh estuary screen provided. This is 1019 01:03:31,521 --> 01:03:33,521 another view. Because of the reduction 1020 01:03:33,521 --> 01:03:36,521 in size, you will get a better view of 1021 01:03:36,521 --> 01:03:38,521 the administration building. This is at 1022 01:03:38,521 --> 01:03:42,721 the northeast corner of the site. The 1023 01:03:46,521 --> 01:03:48,521 second request this evening in terms of 1024 01:03:48,521 --> 01:03:51,521 an action is an uncodified ordinance. 1025 01:03:51,521 --> 01:03:53,521 the ordinance is requested because we 1026 01:03:53,521 --> 01:03:55,521 need to stage the construction somewhere. 1027 01:03:55,521 --> 01:03:58,521 and because the site is going to be 1028 01:03:58,521 --> 01:04:01,521 occupied by the existing wastewater 1029 01:04:01,521 --> 01:04:04,521 treatment plant whereas the future plant 1030 01:04:04,521 --> 01:04:06,521 there is no on-site construction staging. 1031 01:04:06,521 --> 01:04:10,461 the city has identified three city owned 1032 01:04:10,461 --> 01:04:12,461 parcels where the construction staging 1033 01:04:12,461 --> 01:04:13,461 could take place. The areas were 1034 01:04:13,461 --> 01:04:16,461 reviewed by the parks and recreation 1035 01:04:16,461 --> 01:04:20,610 commission and approved for staging. The 1036 01:04:20,461 --> 01:04:23,461 environmental effects for staging were 1037 01:04:25,461 --> 01:04:29,610 evaluated and approved for the staging 1038 01:04:31,461 --> 01:04:35,610 projects.

Tonight, council is 1049 01:05:22,401 --> 01:05:24,401 requesting the council to take two 1050 01:05:24,401 --> 01:05:27,401 actions to approving the design 1051 01:05:28,401 --> 01:05:31,401 modifications to the plan architectural 1052 01:05:34,401 --> 01:05:38,100 review and the environmental affects of 1053 01:05:42,401 --> 01:05:45,401 modifications and to allow to 1054 01:05:47,401 --> 01:05:50,401 construction and staging.

The capacity stays the 1083 01:07:54,341 --> 01:07:57,341 same for the regular normal dry weather 1084 01:07:57,341 --> 01:08:01,541 flow and 78 mgd per the water flow. 1085 01:08:09,341 --> 01:08:14,141 >> mgd is a million gallons per day. And 1086 01:08:14,281 --> 01:08:16,281 if we don't solve $78 mgd per the water 1087 01:08:16,281 --> 01:08:17,281 flow. 1088 01:08:17,281 --> 01:08:18,281 >> mgd is a million gallons per day.

This project came up in march 1109 01:09:30,221 --> 01:09:35,210 and at that time we attempt an agreement 1110 01:09:40,221 --> 01:09:44,221 with the park improvement and the council 1111 01:09:44,221 --> 01:09:48,421 wanted to wait on approving that item 1112 01:09:50,221 --> 01:09:54,221 because of the school referral and that 1113 01:09:54,221 --> 01:09:56,221 they notified there was an investigation 1114 01:09:56,221 --> 01:09:59,221 at the state department of industrial 1115 01:09:59,221 --> 01:10:02,221 relations had opened about their 1116 01:10:02,221 --> 01:10:03,221 compliance with apprenticeship 1117 01:10:03,221 --> 01:10:07,421 requirements and the labor code. So, the 1118 01:10:09,221 --> 01:10:11,161 council wanted to have more time to meet 1119 01:10:11,161 --> 01:10:14,161 with them. Subsequent to that, staff was 1120 01:10:14,161 --> 01:10:18,361 able to meet with the project manager 1121 01:10:23,161 --> 01:10:26,161 from the unified school district and we 1122 01:10:26,161 --> 01:10:29,161 had the whole conversation about the 1123 01:10:29,161 --> 01:10:31,161 apprenticeship and the unified school 1124 01:10:31,161 --> 01:10:34,161 district indicated they had complied with 1125 01:10:34,161 --> 01:10:35,161 their requirements but acknowledged that 1126 01:10:35,161 --> 01:10:38,161 one of the unions disagreed with that. 1127 01:10:38,161 --> 01:10:42,161 so, with that, and an overall favorable 1128 01:10:42,161 --> 01:10:43,161 recommendation from the school district 1129 01:10:43,161 --> 01:10:46,161 as well as the other references that we 1130 01:10:46,161 --> 01:10:48,161 had, we prepared an administrative report 1131 01:10:48,161 --> 01:10:52,161 for your april 1st meeting to approve the 1132 01:10:52,161 --> 01:10:55,161 contract as previously presented. That 1133 01:10:55,161 --> 01:10:59,961 same day, we received an e-mail from the 1134 01:11:00,161 --> 01:11:02,161 laborers local union that transmitted two 1135 01:11:02,161 --> 01:11:05,761 documents from the state related to 1136 01:11:09,161 --> 01:11:12,101 goodland's use of the project on 1137 01:11:12,101 --> 01:11:13,101 apprenticeship. Because of the timing of 1138 01:11:13,101 --> 01:11:16,101 that, I felt it was important to have the 1139 01:11:16,101 --> 01:11:20,101 time to get a response from goodland to 1140 01:11:20,101 --> 01:11:22,101 make sure we had all the information and 1141 01:11:22,101 --> 01:11:25,101 documents to be able to make a full 1142 01:11:25,101 --> 01:11:28,101 assessment of that and be able to provide 1143 01:11:28,101 --> 01:11:30,101 full information to the council. So we 1144 01:11:30,101 --> 01:11:33,101 pulled the item from the april 1st 1145 01:11:33,101 --> 01:11:35,101 meeting to allow us to do that. So, we've 1146 01:11:35,101 --> 01:11:40,501 done that to the degree that we think is 1147 01:11:41,101 --> 01:11:43,101 necessary and possible. That due 1148 01:11:43,101 --> 01:11:46,701 diligence we did included speaking with 1149 01:11:50,101 --> 01:11:52,101 goodland and goodland followed up with an 1150 01:11:52,101 --> 01:11:56,301 e-mail with a third document with that. 1151 01:12:02,101 --> 01:12:05,701 and we signed the two documents. 1152 01:12:06,101 --> 01:12:09,701 I want to briefly discuss the 1153 01:12:11,410 --> 01:12:13,410 requirements and related to the project. 1154 01:12:13,410 --> 01:12:17,241 the state labor code requires for pork 1155 01:12:22,410 --> 01:12:24,410 projects that apprenticeships be hired 1156 01:12:24,410 --> 01:12:27,641 for 5 hours of journey men. And 1157 01:12:28,410 --> 01:12:29,410 specifically -- 1158 01:12:29,410 --> 01:12:32,410 >> sorry, I'm too tall. It's too late to 1159 01:12:32,410 --> 01:12:36,841 do anything about that. I will try to 1160 01:12:48,410 --> 01:12:50,410 speak up. 1161 01:12:51,410 --> 01:12:53,410 the joint labor committee made an 1162 01:12:53,410 --> 01:12:56,410 exception to that 1-5-hour requirement of 1163 01:12:56,410 --> 01:12:59,410 the labor code. And the committee had 1164 01:12:59,410 --> 01:13:01,410 based that upon their determination that 1165 01:13:01,410 --> 01:13:04,641 it's not a practical application for 1166 01:13:05,410 --> 01:13:08,410 laborers and that doesn't provide 1167 01:13:11,981 --> 01:13:15,581 adequate supervision so the exception is 1168 01:13:26,981 --> 01:13:31,181 granted by the state and that 1-4 1169 01:13:32,981 --> 01:13:37,781 laborers could be an journey men and the 1170 01:13:42,981 --> 01:13:47,181 fifth laborer must be an apprentice. And 1171 01:13:51,981 --> 01:13:56,181 they were out of compliance on the 1172 01:13:57,981 --> 01:13:59,981 apprenticeship requirements and they 1173 01:13:59,981 --> 01:14:02,981 thought they were eligible in that 1174 01:14:02,981 --> 01:14:05,981 description I just described and asked 1175 01:14:05,981 --> 01:14:07,981 for a reassessment for the finding for 1176 01:14:07,981 --> 01:14:09,921 that. So the eventual outcome was the 1177 01:14:09,921 --> 01:14:13,921 good land in the state entered into a 1178 01:14:13,921 --> 01:14:16,921 release agreement and key parts of that 1179 01:14:16,921 --> 01:14:20,521 where it included the stated goodland 1180 01:14:20,921 --> 01:14:22,921 position where they were eligible for the 1181 01:14:22,921 --> 01:14:23,921 position and the states position that 1182 01:14:23,921 --> 01:14:28,721 they were not, but the two parties rather 1183 01:14:34,921 --> 01:14:38,921 than litigating the issue they agreed to 1184 01:14:38,921 --> 01:14:41,921 $65,000. So that payment was made and 1185 01:14:41,921 --> 01:14:44,321 the complaint was closed. 1186 01:14:44,921 --> 01:14:47,921 so, that's pretty much what we found 1187 01:14:47,921 --> 01:14:48,921 about that particular circumstance, and 1188 01:14:48,921 --> 01:14:54,321 so, what we thought we would do is bring 1189 01:14:54,921 --> 01:14:57,921 back the original recommendation which we 1190 01:14:57,921 --> 01:14:59,921 included the two contracts, but also 1191 01:14:59,921 --> 01:15:03,921 bring two other options for the city 1192 01:15:03,921 --> 01:15:08,121 council to consider.

Is 1429 01:29:21,134 --> 01:29:25,134 your main concern is that goodland would 1430 01:29:25,134 --> 01:29:27,134 not follow these regulations for these 1431 01:29:27,134 --> 01:29:32,534 projects here, or is it more to kind of 1432 01:29:33,134 --> 01:29:35,134 punish them for alleged violations in the 1433 01:29:35,134 --> 01:29:36,134 past? 1434 01:29:36,134 --> 01:29:38,134 >> so my concern right now is going 1435 01:29:38,134 --> 01:29:41,134 forward we try to use a contractor who is 1436 01:29:41,134 --> 01:29:44,134 not known to have violated these laws, 1437 01:29:44,134 --> 01:29:47,134 and I have another concern in the letter 1438 01:29:47,134 --> 01:29:51,934 and materials sent to us from goodland, I 1439 01:29:53,134 --> 01:29:58,534 sensed and I red an read and an attempt 1440 01:30:00,134 --> 01:30:04,934 to dissuade us that a violation was a 1441 01:30:05,134 --> 01:30:08,734 violation and the laws pertaining to 1442 01:30:09,134 --> 01:30:11,740 those that could qualify which is the law 1443 01:30:11,740 --> 01:30:15,740 and would have to be signatory to qualify 1444 01:30:15,740 --> 01:30:17,740 for that exemption. They wouldn't be 1445 01:30:17,740 --> 01:30:20,740 qualified for it. It's not no judgment on 1446 01:30:20,740 --> 01:30:23,740 my part. That's what the law says right 1447 01:30:23,740 --> 01:30:26,740 now.

But I don't know the time frames 1577 01:38:04,714 --> 01:38:07,714 when that might have happened. 1578 01:38:07,714 --> 01:38:12,654 >> okay, so let me ask you, do you know 1579 01:38:12,654 --> 01:38:14,654 what happens after certified payroll 1580 01:38:14,654 --> 01:38:16,654 reports get to the state? 1581 01:38:16,654 --> 01:38:21,454 >> no, I don't believe I'm aware of it. 1582 01:38:21,654 --> 01:38:23,654 >> okay. 1583 01:38:23,654 --> 01:38:26,654 >> okay, having worked in that field for 1584 01:38:26,654 --> 01:38:29,654 quite a while and done a lot of this, 1585 01:38:29,654 --> 01:38:33,254 nothing happens unless someone is out 1586 01:38:33,654 --> 01:38:37,254 there checking an monitoring jobs and 1587 01:38:38,654 --> 01:38:40,654 files a complaint. Unless someone files 1588 01:38:40,654 --> 01:38:43,654 a complaint and they get examined. If we 1589 01:38:43,654 --> 01:38:45,654 are dealing with the reports ourselves 1590 01:38:45,654 --> 01:38:49,654 and we have somebody here who knows how 1591 01:38:49,654 --> 01:38:53,854 to read and interprets those and knows 1592 01:38:55,654 --> 01:38:58,654 the violation, that would make no sense. 1593 01:38:58,654 --> 01:39:01,654 we can hire someone to do that, but we 1594 01:39:01,654 --> 01:39:04,654 have nobody here that can do that. It's 1595 01:39:04,654 --> 01:39:08,254 not been our function, our project 1596 01:39:08,654 --> 01:39:11,594 manager's don't do that, that's not his 1597 01:39:11,594 --> 01:39:14,594 job. All he did was require them to turn 1598 01:39:14,594 --> 01:39:17,594 them in and he turns them into somebody 1599 01:39:17,594 --> 01:39:21,594 else. That's all there is to it. All I'm 1600 01:39:21,594 --> 01:39:23,594 saying if we really stand by the 1601 01:39:23,594 --> 01:39:28,394 prevailing wage laws and we want to do 1602 01:39:28,594 --> 01:39:33,394 business in an honest and open way, then 1603 01:39:33,594 --> 01:39:38,394 we find someone who has not violated and 1604 01:39:42,594 --> 01:39:44,594 they have to follow the standards under 1605 01:39:44,594 --> 01:39:45,594 the law. 1606 01:39:45,594 --> 01:39:48,594 >> if I might add a comment. We have not 1607 01:39:48,594 --> 01:39:50,594 done due diligence on the next to low 1608 01:39:50,594 --> 01:39:52,594 bidders, I can't say with any certainty 1609 01:39:52,594 --> 01:39:57,394 that the next three bidders are going to 1610 01:40:02,594 --> 01:40:06,794 turn up clean at all without any 1611 01:40:07,594 --> 01:40:08,594 violations. 1612 01:40:08,594 --> 01:40:12,534 >> thank you. That's already a part of 1613 01:40:12,534 --> 01:40:15,534 doing business. Unless we ask them ahead 1614 01:40:15,534 --> 01:40:19,534 of time if they have had any violations 1615 01:40:19,534 --> 01:40:22,534 which is what we want to maybe look into 1616 01:40:22,534 --> 01:40:23,534 doing. 1617 01:40:23,534 --> 01:40:25,534 >> are we good? 1618 01:40:26,534 --> 01:40:28,534 >> well, my feeling is this. I want you 1619 01:40:28,534 --> 01:40:30,534 to know where I'm leaning with this. 1620 01:40:30,534 --> 01:40:35,334 I don't see any wage violations in this 1621 01:40:36,534 --> 01:40:37,534 particularly contractor's history, and I 1622 01:40:37,534 --> 01:40:41,734 think there are protections that we have 1623 01:40:42,534 --> 01:40:45,534 to ensure there aren't going to be wage 1624 01:40:45,534 --> 01:40:48,534 violations on this job. He's done a lot 1625 01:40:48,534 --> 01:40:51,534 of public works jobs and I don't see any 1626 01:40:51,534 --> 01:40:55,134 issues. With the apprentice issues, we 1627 01:40:55,534 --> 01:40:58,534 can have some oversight to make sure that 1628 01:40:58,534 --> 01:41:01,534 happens. When I see the potential for 1629 01:41:01,534 --> 01:41:05,134 that and an additional $80,000 we can 1630 01:41:07,534 --> 01:41:08,534 protect that. Inasmuch as I don't want 1631 01:41:08,534 --> 01:41:13,474 to, not that I don't want to, but I want 1632 01:41:13,474 --> 01:41:17,474 to be sympathetic to those concerns, but 1633 01:41:17,474 --> 01:41:18,474 when I weigh it with the potential and 1634 01:41:18,474 --> 01:41:21,474 the protections and the price 1635 01:41:23,474 --> 01:41:24,474 differential, I'm leaning with the 1636 01:41:24,474 --> 01:41:26,474 approval towards the protections. That's 1637 01:41:26,474 --> 01:41:30,474 kind of the process that I went through. 1638 01:41:30,474 --> 01:41:32,474 >> yeah, I went through all the 1639 01:41:32,474 --> 01:41:36,674 documents. I read them all, all the 1640 01:41:42,474 --> 01:41:44,474 letters, the e-mails and I regulate that 1641 01:41:44,474 --> 01:41:47,474 this came up and we had to regulate this 1642 01:41:47,474 --> 01:41:52,274 and I think it's appropriate the city did 1643 01:41:55,474 --> 01:41:57,474 its due diligence, but I'm not convinced 1644 01:41:57,474 --> 01:42:00,474 that there is enough strong evidence to 1645 01:42:00,474 --> 01:42:04,740 deny this construction and ensure that 1646 01:42:04,474 --> 01:42:06,474 additional $100,000. I think we have a 1647 01:42:06,474 --> 01:42:09,474 fiduciary responsibility to our community 1648 01:42:10,414 --> 01:42:13,414 as well is to protect their interest to 1649 01:42:13,414 --> 01:42:16,414 do the job the best way we can in a 1650 01:42:16,414 --> 01:42:19,414 financial and feasible way. I appreciate 1651 01:42:19,414 --> 01:42:23,140 the city attorney gave us sufficient 1652 01:42:24,414 --> 01:42:26,414 remedies for a breach of contract. I 1653 01:42:26,414 --> 01:42:30,140 think we can with some additional 1654 01:42:31,414 --> 01:42:32,414 requirements of additional submittals to 1655 01:42:32,414 --> 01:42:33,414 police this in a way that will meet our 1656 01:42:33,414 --> 01:42:37,614 requirements, and I think we've had a 1657 01:42:38,414 --> 01:42:41,414 relationship with goodland in the past 1658 01:42:41,414 --> 01:42:44,414 without any issues. I'm hoping that they 1659 01:42:44,414 --> 01:42:46,414 are kind of on noticed that they are 1660 01:42:46,414 --> 01:42:47,414 going to be watched on this project and 1661 01:42:47,414 --> 01:42:49,414 we can't have any problems and that we 1662 01:42:49,414 --> 01:42:52,414 can move forward and get this done. My 1663 01:42:52,414 --> 01:42:56,614 concern is also a filter and changing 1664 01:42:57,414 --> 01:42:59,414 their dollars we see and money is going 1665 01:42:59,414 --> 01:43:01,414 up all the time for construction 1666 01:43:01,414 --> 01:43:03,414 projects. We are trying to get this done 1667 01:43:03,414 --> 01:43:06,414 in the most efficient and cost-efficient 1668 01:43:06,414 --> 01:43:09,354 way we can. I'm leaning towards going 1669 01:43:09,354 --> 01:43:13,554 with the award to goodland with the 1670 01:43:16,354 --> 01:43:18,354 protections in place. 1671 01:43:19,354 --> 01:43:23,354 >> I'm in favor of moving forward with 1672 01:43:23,354 --> 01:43:26,954 going with goodland with the protection 1673 01:43:27,354 --> 01:43:29,354 in place. The $100,000, I would rather be 1674 01:43:29,354 --> 01:43:32,354 spent on our parks and kids if we are 1675 01:43:32,354 --> 01:43:35,354 spending more than we have to, let's put 1676 01:43:35,354 --> 01:43:40,154 it to good use. I think goodland knows 1677 01:43:46,354 --> 01:43:49,354 they are going to be watched like a hawk, 1678 01:43:49,354 --> 01:43:54,354 and I think it's time the kids get their 1679 01:43:54,354 --> 01:43:55,354 park and we stop playing politics and is 1680 01:43:55,354 --> 01:43:58,954 that are the the project already. 1681 01:44:04,354 --> 01:44:07,354 >> former mayor rick bonilla: playing 1682 01:44:08,354 --> 01:44:11,294 politics?

The 1771 01:49:18,540 --> 01:49:22,854 bond uses for the entire program rests at 1772 01:49:27,540 --> 01:49:30,654 about $503 million. And the program was 1773 01:49:32,540 --> 01:49:35,540 discussed in greater detail and finally 1774 01:49:35,540 --> 01:49:37,540 cash that is generated through these 1775 01:49:37,540 --> 01:49:39,540 service charges. In terms of uses, as you 1776 01:49:39,540 --> 01:49:44,540 can see the lion share is for the clean 1777 01:49:44,540 --> 01:49:45,540 water program, $807 million and the 1778 01:49:45,540 --> 01:49:48,540 portion is to repay the line of credit 1779 01:49:48,540 --> 01:49:51,540 that the city has with stage street. One 1780 01:49:51,540 --> 01:49:54,540 important item to note for federal 1781 01:49:54,540 --> 01:49:56,540 securities laws in attachment 2 of the 1782 01:49:56,540 --> 01:49:58,540 administrative report is the preliminary 1783 01:49:58,540 --> 01:50:01,540 official statement. It really reflected 1784 01:50:10,994 --> 01:50:15,794 hercule an effort with appendix a and c, 1785 01:50:15,994 --> 01:50:17,994 appendix c is the disclosure or our 1786 01:50:17,994 --> 01:50:20,994 opportunity to provide information while 1787 01:50:21,994 --> 01:50:24,994 the debt has already been issued. The 1788 01:50:24,994 --> 01:50:28,994 bottom line is we ask the council to 1789 01:50:28,994 --> 01:50:29,994 review the preliminary statement and 1790 01:50:29,994 --> 01:50:32,994 there is information by the city to a key 1791 01:50:32,994 --> 01:50:34,994 to a reasonable investor in their 1792 01:50:34,994 --> 01:50:38,594 determination whether or not they want 1793 01:50:38,994 --> 01:50:41,994 to buy or sell the bonds. So the 1794 01:50:41,994 --> 01:50:42,994 recommendation before you this evening, 1795 01:50:42,994 --> 01:50:45,994 there is a number of items.

The city only pays its 1799 01:50:59,994 --> 01:51:04,194 share of the actual debt. The continuing 1800 01:51:05,994 --> 01:51:07,994 disclosure to make disclosures to 1801 01:51:07,994 --> 01:51:10,934 investors is in the preliminary c 1802 01:51:10,934 --> 01:51:12,934 official statement and the bonding for 1803 01:51:12,934 --> 01:51:14,934 the 2019 bonds.

There are two dwrafs graphs on 1923 01:57:55,634 --> 01:57:59,634 the first slide and one showing specifics 1924 01:57:59,634 --> 01:58:02,634 and the auto burglaries which we know are 1925 01:58:02,634 --> 01:58:04,634 very high right now which is that top 1926 01:58:04,634 --> 01:58:10,574 line in the red and the one in the middle 1927 01:58:10,574 --> 01:58:12,574 is the stolen vehicles which continue to 1928 01:58:12,574 --> 01:58:16,574 rise. I wanted to highlight those because 1929 01:58:16,574 --> 01:58:18,574 these are particularly effective with 1930 01:58:18,574 --> 01:58:22,574 stolen vehicles. So you all have the 1931 01:58:22,574 --> 01:58:24,574 city and safe and secure neighborhoods. 1932 01:58:24,574 --> 01:58:28,574 a big part of that was to levy the 1933 01:58:28,574 --> 01:58:30,574 technology resources and to maximize the 1934 01:58:30,574 --> 01:58:34,174 effectiveness out there and to indicate 1935 01:58:35,574 --> 01:58:38,574 these property crimes. Automated license 1936 01:58:38,574 --> 01:58:40,574 readers are a resource for police 1937 01:58:40,574 --> 01:58:43,574 strategies. They are really just a faster 1938 01:58:43,574 --> 01:58:45,574 version of what officers have been doing 1939 01:58:45,574 --> 01:58:47,574 for decades. I put an example in there. 1940 01:58:47,574 --> 01:58:51,174 some of you may recognize that. 5/23/68 1941 01:59:05,574 --> 01:59:09,774 is a description. Dark green vw karman 1942 01:59:16,514 --> 01:59:18,514 ghia. That takes that basic description 1943 01:59:18,514 --> 01:59:20,514 and information and compares it with 1944 01:59:20,514 --> 01:59:23,514 other data. So we are in an era right 1945 01:59:23,514 --> 01:59:27,714 now, we are in neighboring agencies and 1946 01:59:28,514 --> 01:59:31,514 cities are in their jurisdictions and we 1947 01:59:31,514 --> 01:59:33,514 need to be competitive with that, 1948 01:59:33,514 --> 01:59:36,514 otherwise we maybe more vulnerable than 1949 01:59:36,514 --> 01:59:38,514 some of those jurisdictions. There is a 1950 01:59:38,514 --> 01:59:41,514 lot of detail on this page. I want to hit 1951 01:59:41,514 --> 01:59:45,514 the highlights for you. We have two 1952 01:59:45,514 --> 01:59:47,514 vehicles in operation since 2011. They 1953 01:59:47,514 --> 01:59:49,514 have been in operation for 8 years which 1954 01:59:49,514 --> 01:59:52,514 is a really long time in terms of 1955 01:59:52,514 --> 01:59:53,514 technology and equipment. And operating 1956 01:59:53,514 --> 01:59:57,714 on that same equipment. The data from 1957 01:59:58,514 --> 02:00:02,114 those are located to the northern 1958 02:00:04,514 --> 02:00:06,514 california regional intelligence center 1959 02:00:06,514 --> 02:00:11,914 data base where we store all of that data 1960 02:00:13,454 --> 02:00:14,454 under strict guidelines and there is 1961 02:00:14,454 --> 02:00:19,254 access to which we get those is highly 1962 02:00:19,454 --> 02:00:22,454 controlled.

I 1990 02:01:50,394 --> 02:01:54,394 took 5 minutes out of the day and went 1991 02:01:54,394 --> 02:01:57,394 through the last 60 days searching 1992 02:01:57,394 --> 02:02:00,394 e-mails and came up with five great 1993 02:02:00,394 --> 02:02:04,594 examples and came up with how license 1994 02:02:06,394 --> 02:02:09,334 readers help us. There was a suspect 1995 02:02:09,334 --> 02:02:12,334 identified in a road rage in san bruno 1996 02:02:12,334 --> 02:02:17,334 and you know in the month of february for 1997 02:02:17,334 --> 02:02:20,334 an arson murder case and we accurately 1998 02:02:20,334 --> 02:02:24,334 identified a suspect in that case.

But flyers coming 2006 02:02:46,334 --> 02:02:48,334 from other agencies that they have 2007 02:02:48,334 --> 02:02:51,334 identified a suspect based on arp data 2008 02:02:51,334 --> 02:02:56,134 with access to vehicles that allows us to 2009 02:02:57,334 --> 02:03:00,334 investigate those cases. I have a couple 2010 02:03:00,334 --> 02:03:04,534 of pages about why this technology is 2011 02:03:08,274 --> 02:03:09,274 essential. 2012 02:03:09,274 --> 02:03:13,274 the alpr's are being used actively by all 2013 02:03:13,274 --> 02:03:15,274 levels of our departments, by the 2014 02:03:15,274 --> 02:03:18,874 officers on the streets, our detectives 2015 02:03:22,274 --> 02:03:27,740 and they are using all of this technology 2016 02:03:28,274 --> 02:03:33,740 from other areas and they can shorten the 2017 02:03:35,274 --> 02:03:37,274 investigation time and operational period 2018 02:03:37,274 --> 02:03:39,274 an get to the suspect identification if 2019 02:03:39,274 --> 02:03:43,474 they had more from the local alpr 2020 02:03:44,274 --> 02:03:46,274 sources.

A lot of folks in our 2023 02:03:50,274 --> 02:03:52,274 neighborhood are saying they have a very 2024 02:03:52,274 --> 02:03:55,274 high approval of the alpr systems and 2025 02:03:55,274 --> 02:04:00,274 what they do for laughed and I have not 2026 02:04:00,274 --> 02:04:03,874 heard any negative commentary on that. 2027 02:04:07,274 --> 02:04:10,214 and throughout the agencies nationwide, 2028 02:04:10,214 --> 02:04:15,614 they say that is a deterrent to crime.

If 2030 02:04:20,214 --> 02:04:22,214 you have any questions. 2031 02:04:22,214 --> 02:04:25,214 >> how soon can these things be 2032 02:04:25,214 --> 02:04:26,214 delivered? 2033 02:04:26,214 --> 02:04:28,214 >> it was 7 minutes. 2034 02:04:28,214 --> 02:04:31,214 >> how soon can these things be 2035 02:04:31,214 --> 02:04:32,214 delivered? 2036 02:04:32,214 --> 02:04:33,214 >> good question. 2037 02:04:33,214 --> 02:04:35,214 >> we are going to put the plan in place 2038 02:04:35,214 --> 02:04:36,214 tomorrow if you approve tonight. 2039 02:04:36,214 --> 02:04:41,214 >> I have a meeting at 8:30 a.m. To put 2040 02:04:41,214 --> 02:04:42,214 everything in motion if approved. 2041 02:04:42,214 --> 02:04:45,214 >> what are the tough questions you get 2042 02:04:45,214 --> 02:04:48,214 from the community about privacy 2043 02:04:48,214 --> 02:04:50,214 concerns? 2044 02:04:52,214 --> 02:04:57,140 >> we have not had a lot of questions 2045 02:04:57,214 --> 02:05:01,214 about privacy. I know those with the 2046 02:05:01,214 --> 02:05:04,214 measure s community and what are we doing 2047 02:05:04,214 --> 02:05:07,214 with privacy. Part of that is we show on 2048 02:05:07,214 --> 02:05:11,414 the website how we maintain the security 2049 02:05:12,154 --> 02:05:16,154 of the data and what we do 2050 02:05:16,154 --> 02:05:19,154 to access the data and part of it is to 2051 02:05:19,154 --> 02:05:22,754 ensure that we are not pulling 2052 02:05:23,154 --> 02:05:26,154 registration information. If our alpr get 2053 02:05:26,154 --> 02:05:27,154 through council and the license plate and 2054 02:05:27,154 --> 02:05:29,154 at this paragraph at the rear of the 2055 02:05:29,154 --> 02:05:33,154 vehicle so we have a vehicle color, make 2056 02:05:33,154 --> 02:05:35,154 model and description and the license 2057 02:05:35,154 --> 02:05:37,154 plate number, that is all we get. The 2058 02:05:37,154 --> 02:05:39,154 only time you get more than that, is what 2059 02:05:39,154 --> 02:05:42,754 that data that is automatically compared 2060 02:05:47,154 --> 02:05:52,154 to list of vehicles that might get a hot 2061 02:05:52,154 --> 02:05:56,954 list. That just matches that data, but it 2062 02:05:57,154 --> 02:06:01,154 doesn't pull the data of everybody and 2063 02:06:01,154 --> 02:06:05,954 that is a pretty good argument point when 2064 02:06:06,154 --> 02:06:08,940 it comes to privacy. What we are doing 2065 02:06:08,940 --> 02:06:11,940 with our activity is we are just 2066 02:06:11,940 --> 02:06:14,940 enhancing what we have been doing for 2067 02:06:14,940 --> 02:06:18,294 decades. That's why I put the example 2068 02:06:22,940 --> 02:06:25,940 when sergeant was killed. That's what we 2069 02:06:25,940 --> 02:06:29,940 do with our eyes and our observations. We 2070 02:06:29,940 --> 02:06:33,940 are extracting no more than that with 2071 02:06:33,940 --> 02:06:35,940 these systems, just at a higher volume. 2072 02:06:35,940 --> 02:06:39,940 >> can you go to the slide with the lap 2073 02:06:39,940 --> 02:06:43,894 top in the vehicle? That one, in this 2074 02:06:48,940 --> 02:06:51,940 set up, it looks incredibly distracting. 2075 02:06:51,940 --> 02:06:54,940 is that the set up that would happen 2076 02:06:54,940 --> 02:06:58,940 inside of vehicles, and are we taking any 2077 02:06:58,940 --> 02:07:01,940 steps to make sure that 2078 02:07:05,940 --> 02:07:07,940 drivers are not causing a crash. 2079 02:07:07,940 --> 02:07:10,940 >> this is not the set up that you would 2080 02:07:10,940 --> 02:07:14,894 see in our vehicles per say. This is 2081 02:07:17,940 --> 02:07:21,940 something that might show up from an 2082 02:07:21,940 --> 02:07:24,940 investigation, and generally there is 2083 02:07:27,940 --> 02:07:29,940 audible beep. That will indicate to them 2084 02:07:29,940 --> 02:07:31,940 that there is something going on that 2085 02:07:31,940 --> 02:07:34,940 they need to checkout. And in addition 2086 02:07:34,940 --> 02:07:37,940 to that, our feeling is that when you 2087 02:07:37,940 --> 02:07:40,940 provide this type of technology that 2088 02:07:40,940 --> 02:07:41,940 enhances officer's ability to collect 2089 02:07:41,940 --> 02:07:43,940 information without having to actually 2090 02:07:43,940 --> 02:07:46,940 look at it, our drivers are actually 2091 02:07:46,940 --> 02:07:48,940 performing safer because they are not 2092 02:07:48,940 --> 02:07:50,940 looking at all the license plates of all 2093 02:07:50,940 --> 02:07:52,940 the cars on the road.

In my 2096 02:07:58,940 --> 02:08:01,940 opinion, it's a safety reducer and the 2097 02:08:01,940 --> 02:08:04,940 safety enhancer of reducing the risk of 2098 02:08:04,940 --> 02:08:07,694 being distracted while they are driving. 2099 02:08:09,340 --> 02:08:13,834 >> it sounds good.

What they are doing right now is 2189 02:12:46,794 --> 02:12:49,794 they are having to reach out to other 2190 02:12:49,794 --> 02:12:52,794 jurisdictions hoping that our suspects 2191 02:12:52,794 --> 02:12:54,794 are rolling through those intersections 2192 02:12:54,794 --> 02:12:56,794 to pick up that information.

As chair of 2207 02:13:36,734 --> 02:13:39,734 measure s, we had to go through some 2208 02:13:39,734 --> 02:13:41,734 history of what the funds were for. As 2209 02:13:41,734 --> 02:13:44,734 you know I ran the campaign on the 2210 02:13:44,734 --> 02:13:46,734 citizens side to pass the measure, and we 2211 02:13:46,734 --> 02:13:49,734 knew that those of us that were involved 2212 02:13:49,734 --> 02:13:55,134 in it was for street and road repair for 2213 02:13:57,734 --> 02:14:00,734 flood control and for extending the 2214 02:14:00,734 --> 02:14:02,734 library hours and for enhanceing the 2215 02:14:02,734 --> 02:14:06,734 police department. In looking at that, we 2216 02:14:06,734 --> 02:14:08,674 took all of these things into 2217 02:14:08,674 --> 02:14:11,674 consideration. We took most of the money 2218 02:14:11,674 --> 02:14:16,474 for street and roads, and fema is coming 2219 02:14:16,674 --> 02:14:20,674 back by demanding that we raise san mateo 2220 02:14:20,674 --> 02:14:22,674 creek again. And $72,000 for the police 2221 02:14:22,674 --> 02:14:25,674 department, and 18,000 for the library 2222 02:14:27,674 --> 02:14:29,674 which will go towards money from the 2223 02:14:29,674 --> 02:14:31,674 library foundation to improve one of the 2224 02:14:31,674 --> 02:14:33,674 branches. So we are able to leverage 2225 02:14:33,674 --> 02:14:38,474 that money for a lot more money. So, 2226 02:14:38,674 --> 02:14:41,674 just a personal note, I'm very in favor 2227 02:14:41,674 --> 02:14:46,474 of these cameras. We are needing them in 2228 02:14:47,674 --> 02:14:50,674 arbor town. We had three trucks stolen 2229 02:14:50,674 --> 02:14:54,674 and our poor maintenance guy had his 2230 02:14:54,674 --> 02:14:57,674 truck stolen with tools he collected all 2231 02:14:57,674 --> 02:15:03,740 his life and to add insult to injury, it 2232 02:15:03,674 --> 02:15:06,674 had been destroyed and useless and he had 2233 02:15:06,674 --> 02:15:11,474 to pay the surcharges and storage fee.
