Here,
thank
you.
Mike
was
too
far
down
low
on
the
volume
councilmember
mason
will
be
with
us
shortly
as
soon
as
she's
available.
So
we
will
go
ahead
and
proceed
on
to
item
number.
Three
public
comments
for
items
not
on
the
agenda.
Individuals
will
be
allowed
up
to
three
minutes.
It
is
council
policy
to
refer
matters
raised
in
this
form.
The
staff
for
investigation
and
or
action
were
appropriate
that
their
own
act
prohibits
the
council
from
discussing
or
acting
upon
any
matter,
not
pursuant
to
state
law.
A
A
We
will
then
proceed
on
to
item
number
four,
which
is
the
study
sessions
item
a
doc
resolution
declaring
the
results
of
the
june
15
2021
mail
ballot
election
in
connection
with
the
proposed
storm,
drainage
and
flood
protection
fee
and
abandoning
proceedings,
and
at
this
time
we're
going
to
turn
it
over
to
our
city
manager.
D
D
The
objective
of
the
brief
presentation,
subsequent
discussion
and
action,
will
be
for
the
city
council
to
adopt
a
resolution
declaring
the
results
from
the
june
15
2021
melon
ballot
election
in
connection
with
the
proposed
storm,
drainage
and
flood
protection
fee
and
abandoning
procedures.
There's
an
alternative
to
the
council
desire.
You
can
adopt
the
resolution
and
give
staff
direction
regarding
storm
drainage,
financing
and
or
the
proposed
2021-22
stormwater
budget,
because
the
fee
did
not
pass.
D
There
is
a
one
million
dollar
deficit
that
we
do
need
to
address
and
so
of
those
two
items,
longer
term
financing
and
solutions
for
our
enterprise
in
the
upcoming
budget.
The
upcoming
budget
discussion
is
the
most
important
and
we
have
prepared
some
background
slides
in
both
myself.
D
The
finance
director,
as
well
as
your
staff
in
the
public
works
department
that
run
our
stormwater
system,
are
prepared
to
answer
questions
and
support
the
council
through
your
deliberations,
and
so
the
first
portion
of
this
presentation
will
actually
be
given
by
our
city
clerk
regarding
certification
of
the
election
results.
So
now
I
will
invite
melissa
thurman
to
the
virtual
podium
to
provide
the
next
two
slides.
B
Just
this
past
week
I
and
the
deputy
city
clerk
vicki
hashey,
as
well
as
two
of
our
consultants
from
wildan,
performed
a
ballot
opening
where
we
sat
in
conference,
room
115
where
city
manager
grogan
is
now
and
we
opened
up
5226
ballots,
and
this
was
recorded
on
zoom
and
made
public
at
the
time
the
ballots
were
opened.
B
B
During
the
counting
process,
there
was
83
ballots
that
were
rejected
for
various
reasons
which
are
listed
here
on
the
screen.
We
had
ballots
that
were
returned
in
the
envelope,
but
they
were
missing
a
signature,
so
the
yes
or
the
no
was
checked,
but
the
signature
which
was
very
important,
was
missing.
B
B
We
received
some
ballots
where
it
was
really
unclear
if
it
was
yes
or
no,
perhaps
they
scribbled
it
out
and
they
didn't
initial
next
to
the
one
that
was
correct
or
indicate
to
us,
which
one
was
the
one
they
wanted,
and
so,
after
determining
between
all
four
of
us,
we
just
couldn't
come
up
with
the
decision
as
to
what
they
meant.
We
did
mark
those
as
rejected,
so
that
was
we
had
24.
There
was
no
choice.
Mark
32
that
was
unclear.
B
We
did
receive
four
duplicate
ballots,
which
means
that
the
original
ballot
was
sent
to
us.
We
had
already
counted
it
and
then
at
some
point
during
the
accounting
process
we
had
the
same
exact
ballot
being
counted
again,
and
that
typically
was
because
the
property
owner
forgot
that
they
had
already
submitted
a
ballot.
So
they
requested
a
separate
ballot
and
voted
twice,
probably
just
on
it's
an
innocent
mistake.
It
happens.
Sometimes
you
just
forget
that
you've
already
filled
something
out,
so
we
had
four
of
those
and
then
we
surprisingly
had
zero
empty
envelopes.
B
It's
pretty
easy
to
forget
to
put
the
item
in
the
envelope,
so
we
only
had
zero
of
those,
so
those
were
the
83
rejected
ballots,
and
then
we
also
received
quite
a
few.
I
believe
the
count
just
now
over
we're
still
receiving
them
over
200
ballots
that
were
received
after
the
june
15
2021
deadline
they're
coming
in
through
the
mail,
so
those
are
also
being
counted
as
rejected
and,
like
I
said,
we
are
currently
over
200
of
those
and
they
are
still
coming
in.
B
We
also
issued
34
replacement
ballots.
Typically,
this
was
done
because
the
property
owner
says
they
never
received
the
first
one
or
they
possibly
threw
it
away
or
forgot
that
they
had
received
one.
So
they
asked
for
a
second.
So
we
would
we
mailed
those
out
before
the
end
of
the
ballot
closure,
and
I
believe
that
is
the
end
there.
But
if
you
can
go
to
the
next
slide,.
D
So,
council
members,
we
will
return
to
certification
of
the
elections
at
the
conclusion
of
the
the
presentation.
So
staff
is
available
for
these
remaining
sections.
I
will
go
through
it
at
a
high
level.
If
there
are
additional
questions,
either
myself
or
staff
will
respond,
just
a
quick
overview
of
your
stormwater
system.
There
are
total
of
just
over
six
employees
that
are
allocated
to
the
city's
storm
water
system
stream
sweeping
as
what
as
well
as
storm
water
collection
is
a
part
of
the.
A
D
As
well
as
customer
service
activities,
people
calling
in
for
street
sweeping
related
matters
as
well
as
storm
drain
overflows,
there's
routine
repair
and
maintenance,
as
well
as
regulatory
compliance
and
implementing
best
practices
for
storm
water.
D
A
trash
capture
before
it
goes
into
our
stormwater
system.
The
next
lone
range.
D
Plan,
I
know
you've
seen
before,
but
it
is
critical
that
we
talk
about
this
once
again.
As
the
city
clerk
mentioned
are
nearly
year
and
a
half
effort
to
put
forward
a
a
revised
fee,
revising
the
fee
that
was
set
some
27
years
ago
was
not
successful,
and
so
that
means
that
the
fund
is
projected
to
go
negative
in
the
2021-22
fiscal
year
and
a
precipitous
decline
of
continued
negative
activity.
D
As
we
all
know,
our
funds,
when
they
run
negative,
someone
has
to
pay
the
cost
or
we
need
to
reduce
the
expenditures,
and
so
we
will
be
faced
with
that
decision
in
subsequent
years,
as
well
as
in
this
current
year.
For
the
budget
that
begins
in
july
21-
and
I
know
the
city
council,
as
well
as
staff,
is
committed
to
finding
a
solution
to
this
problem,
one
that
will
hopefully
be
accepted
by
sam
rental,
property,
property
owners
or
whatever
the
plan.
D
The
final
mechanism
is
to
obtain
more
revenue
for
our
stormwater
system.
The
current
fee
does
not
cover
operating
costs,
nor
capital
expenditures
and
we'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
those.
D
So
at
a
high
level,
we,
why
don't?
We
just
talk
about
the
proposed
budget.
That's
probably
the
the
most
appropriate
place
to
begin,
so
it
has
a
fund
balance
of
300
000.
That
will
be
there
projected
on
july
1..
There
is
just
over
650
000
revenue,
the
vast
majority
of
that
comes
from
the
existing
fee
or
the
average
property
owner
pays
40
47
a
year.
D
There
are
operating
expenditures
of
1.5
million,
which
brings
a
operating
surplus
and
deficit
to
800
000.
That
is
that
point
that
the
current
feed
does
not
cover
operating,
nor
does
it
cover
capital
and
the
476
000
that
you
see
there
is
primarily
related
to
the
spyglass
project
and
we'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
that.
D
But
it's
a
very
much-needed
capital
improvement
project,
one
that
we
were
able
to
receive
grant
funds,
but
we
still
have
to
pay
our
match
on
that
federal
grant
and
that
matches
just
over
four
hundred
thousand
so
employees
that
support
our
stormwater
enterprise
are
shown
above
it's
portions
of
positions,
but
it's
it's
the
people
that
street
sweep
our
streets
and
the
people
that
clean
out
our
storm
drains,
and
so
as
far
as
maintenance
workers
there's
a
total
of
five
maintenance
workers,
half
of
a
lead
maintenance
worker,
a
point,
four
of
a
maintenance
service
manager
and
then
five
percent
of
various
other
department
of
overhead
staff
and
together
with
other
personnel
costs
of
overtime,
part-time
and
ual.
D
As
our
pension
liability,
total
personnel
budget
for
this
system
is
848
000.
that
alone
eclipses
the
the
current
revenue
to
the
enterprise.
Then
we
have
a
material
and
supply
budget
of
just
under
300
000.
It's
worth
mentioning
that
in
prior
years,
that
budget
was
over
500
000,
so
that
budget
has
already
been
cut
and
cuts
substantially
and
inter
departmental
charges
and
governmental
charges
connected
to
the
system
or
another
380
000,
which
brings
that
total
operating
budget
to
what
you
saw
before
is
1.534
million.
D
With
regard
to
capital
improvement
projects,
there
are
four
active
capital
improvement
projects
within
your
stormwater
proposed
capital
improvement
program
for
the
coming
year.
As
the
city
council
knows
that
there
is
a
vast
number
of
unfunded
projects,
projects
that
are
not
active
simply
because
of
lack
of
funding,
one
of
the
problems
that
we
were
trying
to
address,
and
so
there's
a
regional
stormwater
capture
project,
a
trash
capture,
device,
design
and
installation
project,
a
storm
water
pipeline
replacement
project
and
then
the
spy
glass,
warm
water,
storm
drain
improvement
project.
So
really
quick.
D
I
know
we've
talked
about
these
before
with
the
city
council
on,
I
believe
it
was
june
9th
when
we
reviewed
our
entire
capital
improvement
program.
Just
would
like
to
highlight
them
very
briefly.
So
the
regional
storm
capture
project
at
I
280
and
I
380.
that
project
is
carrying
over
just
over
1.1
million
dollars.
As
the
city
council
knows,
staff
has
obtained
grants
to
support
that
project.
We
do
not
need
additional
funds
at
that
at
this
time
for
that
project,
but
in
the
future
there
will
be
significant
needs
for
this
project.
D
It's
showing
a
zero
requested
right
now,
because
we're
just
in
the
design
phase-
and
we
will
populate
that
number,
but
this
will
be
a
a
substantial
project
in
the
tens
of
millions
of
dollars
and
we
are
hoping
to
receive
regional
if
not
state
and
local
grants
for
this,
given
that
it's
a
regional
storm
water
capture
project,
so
while
it
is
in
in
the
city
of
san
bruno,
it
does
not
solely
benefit
sam
bureau.
D
It's
important
to
note
that
this
project
was
not
included
in
any
of
the
funding
mechanisms
that
were
proposed
in
the
field.
This
project
was
always
intended
to
be
that
regional
project
that
attracts
state
and
federal
grants.
A
local
project,
however,
is
certainly
our
spyglass
storm
drain
improvement
project.
D
There
are
approximately
eight
homes
that
have
flooded
in
prior
years
due
to
a
design
issue
in
our
storm
drain
system,
where
there
is
not
enough
capacity
for
significant
flood
storm
events,
as
the
council
and
the
public
knows,
and
certainly
two
homeowners
in
that
neighborhood
know,
because
we
are
forced
to
sandbag
their
property
every
winter
in
advance
of
the
range
because
their
properties
are
prone
to
flooding
and
have
done
so
on
at
least
two
occasions.
D
So
this
project
is
approximately
a
1.9
million
dollar
project.
The.
D
Thousand
dollars
in
fire
funds
to
design
this
project
and
staff
went
out
to
apply
for
grants
and
we
were
awarded
a
1.2
million
dollar
grant
from
the
federal
fema
hazard
mitigation
assistance
program,
but
we
have
to
pay
the
grant
match
and
the
grant
mass
is
400
000
and
the
fund
doesn't
even
have
400
000
and
it
can't
cover
its
operating
expenses,
and
so
that
that
is
a
in
order.
D
If
we,
if
we
would
like
to
accept,
truly
accept
receipt
of
that
grant
and
move
forward
with
that
project,
we
have
to
find
a
way
to
fund
these
local
improvements,
and
even
when
you
have
a
a
grant,
you
have
to
have
some
local
funding,
and
so
that
is
one
one
challenge
that
I
think
we
have
to
find
a
way
to
resolve
this
year.
D
The
trash
capture
device
design
project.
We
are
requesting
an
additional
150
6000
to
move
forward
with
additional
trash
capture
devices
and
then
in
the
storm
drain
pipeline
replacement
project.
This
is
connected
to
a
failure
that
we
had
a
failure
due
to.
D
The
the
age
of
our
system
can
near
crystal
springs,
roll
in
juniper
sarah
park
and
that
storm
drain
failure
was
only
noticed
because
the
san
francisco
puc
was
doing
work
in
the
area
and
noticed
that
our
pipe
had
corroded,
and
so
we
were
forced
to
come
to
the
council
during
during
the
year
and
council
did
set
aside
450
000
for
that
project,
and
so
that
project
does
not
need
additional
funds.
D
And
so,
while
we
understand
that
property
owners
did
not
elect
to
contribute
to
the
storm
drain,
flood
protection
fee
and
that
measure
failed,
there
still
remains
30
million
dollars
of
master
plan
projects
that
we
identified
in
2017.
That
we
know
will
cost
more
than
30
million
dollars.
Even
today
that
are
still
unfunded,
and
we
know
portions
of
our
system
are
over
100
years
old
and
that
needs
to
be
addressed.
D
So
notable
changes.
There's
been
a
few
updates,
since
we
last
saw
this,
and
so
the
first
one
is
the
unsuccessful
218
two
to
18
process.
Unfortunately,
that's
just
219.
D
218
process
that
we
have
been
after
for
undertaking
for
nearly
a
year,
so
we
we
remain
with
a
fee
that
was
set
27
years
ago,
and
so
there
were
two
strategic
initiatives:
we've
re-added
the
first
one
that
you
see
there
is
to
continue
to
work
to
resolve
the
funding
challenges
in
the
enterprise
which
do
present
a
significant
and,
at
this
point,
immediate
financial,
to
strengthen
the
city.
D
So
let's
talk
about
addressing
that
deficit,
and
so
we
need
to
address
that
2021
deficit,
that
that
looming
deficit,
if
you
will-
and
so
what
are
our
options,
and
so
this
is
a
repeat
of
what
you've
seen
before.
But
currently
the
projected
in
funding
balance
is
a
million
dollars,
and
so
we
have
to
fund
that
million
dollars
where
we
have
to
trim
expenditures.
D
Unfortunately,
so
so
the
staff
has
identified
four
options
for
the
city
council
to
consider
the
first
one
is
obviously
trimming
expenditures.
We
are
not
recommending
trimming
expenditures,
as
I
mentioned
in
the
prior
slides.
We
are,
we
have
already
cut
our
supplies
and
material
budget.
D
We
want
to
maintain
the
individuals
and
the
street
sweeping
program
that
we
currently
have
and
for
our
capital
improvement
program.
We
think
it's
absolutely
critical,
that
we
take
advantage
of
the
1.2
million
dollars
that
the
federal
government
has
given
us
to
a
grant
and
identify
a
way
to
move
forward
with
that
important
spy
project
for
the
spyglass
neighborhood
option.
D
Two
is
to
look
at
our
baseline
general
fund
budget
and
eliminate
one
million
dollars
of
expenses
to
cover
that
deficit,
and
I
know
that
the
city
council
knows
as
well
that,
unfortunately,
we
we
have
cut
our
general
funding
cut
severely
in
the
prior
budget
year
by
nearly
24
positions
and
reduced
expenditures
and
held
other
things
at
baseline,
and
so
the
ability
to
reduce
services
to
the
community
further
is
not
something
that
of
these
options
rank
high
on
the
list.
D
But
that
is
certainly
an
option
for
the
city
council
to
consider
this
service
reductions.
D
The
city
council
could
appropriate
funds
from
entergy,
and
so
we
will
talk
about
that
and
you
can
also
utilize
funds
from
the
american
rescue
plan
act
so
so
to
go
through
the
last
two
very
quickly
and
then
pause
for
council
deliberations
and
questions.
A
measure.
G
as
we
know,
is
a
half
cent
sales
tax,
a
general
purpose,
revenue
tax
that
in
the
next
fiscal
year
we're
projecting
to
bring
in
3.5
million.
D
You
have
the
valid
language
there,
because
we
always
like
to
provide
this.
So
that
is
the
ballot
language
that
was
connected
with
metro
g,
while
storm
water
was
not
mentioned
explicitly.
D
The
city
council
does
have
the
discretion
to
appropriate
measure
g
funds
for
the
stormwater
enterprise
with
regard
to
measure
g
just
really
quickly.
It's
worth
noting,
and
we
will
talk
about
this
slide
in
greater
detail
later
on
tonight,
during
our
regular
meeting
when
we
address
item
6a,
which
is
adoption
of
the
full
budget
for
fiscal
year
2122.
D
But
I
just
want
to
put
this
slide
up,
because
when
we
talk
about
measure
g
funding,
it's
important
for
the
city
council
to
know
for
this
discussion
that
no
matter
which
of
the
proposals
that
you
have
before
you,
whether
it's
the
the
city
manager's
initial
proposed
budget,
that
is,
that
first
column
with
numbers.
D
The
amended
proposed
budget
that
reflects
conversations
that
we
have
with
the
city
council
and
the
direction
to
reduce
position,
requests
on
measure
g
or
the
oversight
committee's
recommendations,
which
does
not
include
three
line
items
in
that
were
in
the
amended
proposed
budget
and
all
of
those
levels.
You
have
more
than
a
million
dollars
of
general
of
a
measure.
V
fund
balance
left,
and
so
you
could,
if
you
choose
either
one
of
those
scenarios
have
the
million
dollars
to
cover
the
the
this
year
budget
and
deficit
in
stormwater,
1
million.
D
D
Funding
the
city
council
knows
this
chart
very
well,
so
I
will
again
not
go
through
it
all,
but
through
this
chart
again,
I
just
wanted
to
point
out
with
based
on
the
recommendations
that
you
have
in
the
in
the
amended
proposed
budget
that
very
bottom
line:
number
2.9
or
2.9
million
dollars,
rounded
unallocated
arc
of
funds.
You
do
have
sufficient
arpa
funds
to
cover
the
measure
cover
the
stormwater
deficit
of
one
million
dollars
from
arpa,
and
that's
what
that
little
red
box
shows
next.
D
This
is
a
repeat,
but
I
just
want
to
point
this
out
for
council.
Again
and
again,
we
will
have
this
discussion
at
our
next
meeting,
but
should
the
city
council
choose
to
fund
those
four
positions
that
were
initially
proposed
to
be
funded
by
measure
g
with
arma
and
that's
the
economic
development
manager,
the
police
officer,
a
firefighter
and
a
fire
inspector?
D
Remember
those
were
measure
g
recommendations
from
in
the
city
manager's
proposed
budget.
Should
you
elect
to
fund
those
through
arpa
just
want
to
point
out
again
here
that,
even
with
those
allocations,
you
will
have
sufficient
funding
to
cover
that
one-year
stormwater
deficit
now
these
are
are,
of
course,
funds
that
we
can't
rely
on
in
perpetuity.
D
But
I
just
wanted
to
point
that
out
to
city
council,
so
staff
believe
that
the
most
appropriate
source
funding
sources
would
be
measure
d
and
arpa
and
or
and
happy
to
support
those
discussions
and,
and
so
that's
what
this
slide
shows
is
that
we
recommend
that
you
adopt
the
resolution
and
then
to
provide
direction
to
staff
on
that
one
million
dollar
looming
deficit
for
next
fiscal
year,
utilizing
either
medurgy
arca
or
some
combination
of
the
two.
D
Thank
you
very
much
happy
to
take
any
questions
or
return
to
any
portions
of
this
slide.
During
your
deliberation.
A
Thank
you,
city
manager,
for
your
report,
I'd
like
to
ask
my
colleagues
at
this
time.
If
anyone
has
any
questions,
not
direction,
not
opinion,
but
questions
on
the
presentation
that
we
just
received.
C
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
So
one
question
off
the
top
of
my
head
is:
do
we
anticipate
doing
some
sort
of
a
postmortem
on
on
the
election
process
and
getting
some
idea
of
whether
or
not
we
approached
it
incorrectly?
Whether
or
not
we
should
do
another
attempt
at
this,
or
are
we
just
going
to
move
on.
D
Okay,
have
we
done
a?
I
will
say
that
we
have
had
a
internal
hot
walk
of
the
entire
effort
already
and
have
looked
at
a
number
of
factors.
I
will
say
that,
at
least
from
staff's
perspective,
there
appears
to
not
be
one
thing
on
why
the
effort
was
not
successful.
D
I
think
that
there
are
very
likely
a
combination
of
factors
with
regard
to
will
there
be
an
an
initial
effort,
a
additional
effort,
with
the
votes
being
two
to
one,
not
in
favor
I
I
would
not
recommend
going
back
out
in
an
immediate
sense,
with
the
same
structure,
with
simply
a
re-articulation
right.
D
Even
with
this
one
million
dollar
deficit
that
we're
facing,
I
think
by
the
two
to
one
margin,
the
the
community
has
said
that
the
storm
drain
fee
as
proposed
is
not
acceptable,
and
I
think
we
have
to
have
further
conversations
and
further
analysis
to
actually
define
exactly
why,
and
there
could
be
various
reasons
why,
but
certainly
as
an
organization,
we
cannot
lose
sight
of
the
challenge
that
is
before
us.
It
is
not
a
today
challenge.
It
is
not
a
yesterday
challenge.
D
Stormwater
has
been
a
fiscal
challenge
for
this
city
for
quite
some
time
and
in
27
years
the
fee
has
not
been
increased,
so
we
are.
We
are
essentially
at
the
point
where
you
know,
probably
for
lack
of
a
better
term.
D
The
effort
was
a
hail
mary
to
avoid
going
into
the
into
the
red
in
that
hill,
mary
fifth,
and
so
now
we
are.
D
We
have
we
stretched
off
that
time
period
for
27
years
and
not
increasing
the
fee,
and
then
when
we
did
that
it
was
not
successful,
but
the
need
for
the
30
million
dollars
of
improvements
is
not
going
away,
and
even
if
you
take
that
away,
the
the
current
fee
does
not
cover
just
operating
costs
with
maintaining
the
system
we
have
an
hour.
So
we
have
to
continue
to
have
conversations
about
it.
C
Okay
yeah,
thank
you,
and
I
know
that
that
was
always
the
the
fear
when,
when
the
conversation
happened
over
the
years
it
was
always,
it
was
always
suspected
that
it
would
be
a
difficult
thing
to
accomplish,
and
so
we
attempted
it
and-
and
we
got
our
answer
so
thank
you.
F
Thank
you.
So
I've
got
a
brief
question
on
slide.
Number
eight.
The
the
long
range
financial
plan
slide.
I
just
I
just
want
to
get
an
understanding
of
how
this
how
this
works.
The
obviously
we
see
that
we
see
the
one
million
dollar
deficit
there
in
I
don't
know
you're
bringing
up
but
I'll
start
talking
anyway,
for
instance
sometime
we
see
the
one
million
dollar
deficit
there
in
in
this
coming
fiscal
year
and
then
it
then
it
continues
to
build.
F
Obviously
we're
going
to
be
funding
that
we're
going
to
we'll
talk
about
how
we're
going
to
fund
it,
but
obviously
we're
going
to
we're
going
to
to
fund
that
when
that
gets
funded,
do
each
of
the
next
four
boxes
reduced
by
a
bit
over
a
million
or
do
those
did
each
of
those
out
years,
also
assume
that
we
have
to
fund
it.
So
that's
what
that
that's,
what
the
operating
deficit's
going
to
be
in
2223.
D
Absolutely
the
the
answer
is
probably
more
complicated
and
has
multiple
parts.
So
let
me
step
through
it.
The
deficit
doesn't
increase
by
approximately
a
million
dollars
a
year.
The
assumption
that
we
will
fund
it
may
not
be
the
case.
D
We
may
simply
decide
that
we
do
not
have
the
funds
for
stormwater
cip
projects
without
additional
revenue
and
only
fund
operating
and
have
a
much
smaller
deficit
that.
D
Has
made
very
difficult
funding
decisions
in
the
past
of
not
repairing
needed,
stormwater
infrastructure,
and
so
that
will
not
be
a
new
decision
to
san
bruno
with
limited
resources,
you
have
some
tough
choices,
and
so
the
city
could
reduce
expenditures.
D
You
could
cover
it
with
another
funding
source
like
the
general
fund
or
measure
g
on
more
of
a
ongoing
basis.
I
think
the
challenge
with
that
is
it
pushes
off
other
programs
and
services
and
improvements,
and
that's
a
balance.
The
city
council
could
fund
it
in
a
way,
and
potentially
there
is
a
a
loan
payback
right
where
you
may
fund
it
from
a
source,
but
the
fund
still
becomes
negative,
because
when
the
fund
is
healthy
enough
to
recover
itself,
it
pays
back
that
funding
source.
F
Okay,
thank
you
and
then
my
my
other
question
is
regarding
measure
g.
You
know
the
the
vote
count
was
last
wednesday.
The
measure
g
committee
had
their
meeting
on
friday.
I
understand
that
there
was
there
that
they
couldn't
make
any
kind
of
a
formal
recommendation
or
anything
because
we
would
have.
I
think
we
would
have
seen
that,
but
did
we
get
any
sense
from
the
measure
g
committee,
what
they
would
think
of
about
using
measure
g
funds
for
this?
I
know
the
timing
didn't
work
out
very
well
for
for
that.
F
But
if
there's
any,
if
there's
any
input,
that
would
be
helpful.
D
Sure
there
was
a
brief,
very
brief
conversation
about
that.
But
in
reality
I
would
say
the
committee
did
not
delve
down
into
that
topic
significantly.
But
there
was
a
comment
made
by
one
commissioner
that
in
looking
at
all
of
the
proposed
funding
requests,
there
was
a
recognition
that
the
one
million
dollars
was
a
sort
of
immediate
problem
and
maybe
a
interest
in
looking
at
that
before
some
of
the
other
recommendations.
D
But
I
would
say
that
the
committee
did
not
have
a
full
discussion
on
that,
but
the
committee
did
make
extremely
clear
that
measure
g
in
their
using
their
words
was
the
community
articulated
the
need
to
improve
rules
and
because
of
covet
that
that
has
not
happened
significantly
or
at
all.
We
did
no
world
projects
with
the
metro
g
money
last
year
and
while
we
are
allocating
1.4
million
from
energy,
they
would
like
to
see
road
projects
and
other
things
that
directly
align
to
that
ballot.
D
Language
before
other
things
in
general.
That's
not
to
say
that
if
we
went
back
with
to
the
committee
that
there
wouldn't
be
some
tolerance
in
fun
in
recommending
funding
a
portion
of
the
stormwater,
but
candidly
it
just
wasn't
a
big
part
of
the
discussion.
F
G
Yes,
thank
you,
mayor
medina.
If
we
could
go
back
to
the
slide
and
go
back
forward,
one
from
where
it
was
previously,
please.
G
Go
go
one
more
there
you
go.
Thank
you
it's
disappointing,
but
I
think
understandable
in
this
election.
G
It's
it's
it's
very
difficult
to
have
pop
property
owners
willing
to
to
pay
more,
but
I,
the
council
did
the
right
thing
in
making
the
tough
call
to
to
follow
the
law,
to
attempt
to
raise
those
fees,
because
we're
seeing
now,
with
this
slide
alone,
that
the
current
money
isn't
making
it
and
we
have
as
we're
going
to
see
later
today.
G
A
G
Much
appreciate
it,
I
I
thank
you
for
your
indulgence,
so
here
we
are
once
again
familiar
dealing.
G
It's
timely
in
that
we're
going
to
be
talking
about
budget
in
in
an
hour
and
a
half
or
so
so
for
the
time
being
I
in
support
of
getting
us
through
this
year,
preferably
with
arpa
funding.
I
did
a
little
tiny
bit
of
research
on
what
other
california
cities
are
doing
to
fund
their
stormwater.
There
are
other
things
that
are
possible
and
we'll
need
to
have
that
discussion.
G
I
agree
with
councilman
salazar.
We
need
to
have
a
postmortem
on
what
what
happened?
G
I'm
hoping
that
what
we'll
see
is
our
residents
have
fatigue
in
in
feeling
that
they're
they're
always
paying
more,
but
but
the
truth
is
in
stormwater,
we've
been
paying
the
same
since
1994
and
that
money
doesn't
stretch
out
anymore.
So
those
are
my
comments
for
now.
My
last
question
would
be
for
a
city
clerk
for
the
for
the
ballots
that
are
that
have
been
received
late.
G
Do
they
get
opened,
and
do
you
make
note
of
the
way
the
vote
went?
It
would
just
be
interesting
to
see
how
that
ultimately
wound
up
being.
Thank
you.
B
Javon,
I
can
answer
that.
The
last
question
there.
This
is
melissa,
thurman
city
clerk.
The
answer
is
no.
We
do
not
open
those
ballots,
we've
just
been
collecting
them
in
a
pile
with
the
election
being
over.
It's
we
don't
want
to
open
any
ballots
outside
of
a
public
forum.
E
Thank
you.
I
just
wanted
to
ask
whether
there's
plans
to
send
a
survey.
I
know
in
the
past.
There
have
been
surveys
by
the
city
done
pretty
quickly
and
if
we
would
be
able
to
get
a
survey
out
as
soon
as
possible,
since
it's
still
re,
it's
still
quite
new
and
ask
questions
like
would
a
sunset
have
made
a
difference.
What
the
annual
increase
you
know,
I
don't
know
at
a
lower
rate,
made
a
difference.
Would
a
phase-in
approach
during
a
pandemic
year
made
a
difference.
E
I
think
that
you
know
this
all,
even
though
it's
been
waiting
for
years,
I
think
that
this
came
to
this
council
quite
quickly,
and
I
think
it
was
okay
that
we
asked
the
public.
That's
what
we
said.
Let's
see
what
the
property
owners
decide,
but
I
think
it's
also
worth
it
to
step
back
now
and
reflect
on
what
tweaks
may
make
a
difference
for
the
future
success.
Thank
you.
A
Okay,
I
have
no
questions
myself,
since
all
council
members
have
that
opportunity
we'll
see
if
there's
anybody
from
the
public
that
wishes
to
comment
on
this
topic.
If
so,
if
you
could
raise
your
hand
now,
the
city
clerk
will
bring
you
in
the
room.
A
C
One
final
question:
follow-up
to
the
vice
mayor's
question
to
the
city
clerk.
C
I
I
was
watching
the
the
proceedings
as
the
envelopes
were
being
opened,
and
I
heard
the
comment
that
some
people
mistakenly
had
thought
that
they
were
being
asked
to
pay
a
fee
and
they
had
submitted
checks
and
I'm
wondering
if,
if
any
of
those
late
comers
have
checks
in
there,
if
we
could
at
least
make
sure
that
that
we're
not
keeping
anybody's
check
mistakenly.
B
That
is
a
good
question.
This
is
melissa,
thurman
city
clerk.
That's
a
good
point
that
I
hadn't
considered
I'll
need
to
probably
discuss
that
with
our
city
attorney
to
see
how
best
to
proceed.
Only
because
I
myself,
I
feel
uncomfortable
opening
any
ballot
outside
of
a
public
forum,
and
yet
I
can
also
see
if
we
are
returning.
Yes,
we
did
have
multiple
ballots
that
had
checks
enclosed,
because
I
think
people
looked
at
them.
B
They
saw
they
looked
at
it
as
an
amount
due,
and
so
they
included
a
check
and
marked
yes,
and
it
was
a
little
confusing
there.
So
we
have
returned
the
checks
with
a
note,
letting
them
know
yeah
I
would
need
to.
I
would
need
to
check
that
with
council
and
outside
counsel
before
I
would
be
able
to
give
you
an
answer.
A
A
Thank
you,
council,
member,
okay,
colleagues,
comment
and
direction.
Please
for
staff.
F
Any
specific
guidance
from
the
measure
g
oversight
committee
and
it
doesn't
seem
like
we
have
time
to
get
it.
I
think
it
would
make
the
most
sense
to
fund
from
arpa
for
coming
fiscal
year.
C
My
my
concern
with
with
the
one-time
funds,
is
that
we
have
a
large
number
of
allocations
coming
from
our
one-time
funds,
both
measure
g
as
a
sort
of
a
a
seed
account
and
then
everything
we're
doing
with
arpa
and
the
way
the
budget
has
been
laid
out.
It's
it's
sort
of
a
transition
where
it
has
implications
for
long-term
commitments
to
the
general
fund,
and
I
see
this
current
dilemma
that
we
have
now
not
as
a
one-time
one
million
dollar
hole,
but
as
an
ongoing
commitment
to
our
general
fund.
C
Now
I
I
don't
anticipate
based
on
everything.
I've
heard
that
we
would
be
going
back
out
for
another
one
of
these
ballots
anytime
soon,
and
so
I
would
anticipate
that
at
least
for
a
few
years
we
would
be
funding
at
a
minimum,
the
800
000,
operating
and
and
some
considerable
amount
of
infrastructure
projects
that
are
associated
with
this.
C
C
This
very
significant
demand
on
the
general
fund
going
forward,
and
so
now
I'm
no
longer
as
comfortable
making
those
commitments,
even
though
it
was
a
transition,
and
we
understood
that
everything
else
was
stable,
but
now
we're
looking
at
a
minimum
million
dollar
ongoing
commitment
from
the
general
fund
just
to
keep
storm
water
all
alive.
That's
without
any
cip-
and
I
I
know
through
ccag
there
there's
a
number
of
efforts
going
on
to
try
to
fund
these
types
of
projects
across
the
county.
C
My
understanding
is
that
only
burlingame
has
a
stormwater
fee
that
that
increased
recently,
I
believe,
last
year
or
maybe
2019,
but
no
other
city
has
been
able
to
do
this
or
has
taken
the
step
to
do
this,
and
so
most
of
our
neighbors
are
going
to
be
in
the
same
boat
and
there's
probably
going
to
be
some
significant
effort
to
use
either
regional
or
county
dollars.
Perhaps
state
dollars
to
start
trying
to
address
these
these
shortfalls,
but
in
the
meantime
I
think
this
will
be
a
multi-year
effort.
C
C
C
And
now
we
don't
so
I
mean
we've
identified
some
of
the
bigger
projects,
but
there
is
a
ton
of
other
projects
out
there,
including
you
know,
what's
going
on
there
on
desoto
and
they've,
been
waiting
patiently
all
these
years,
and
so
I'd
like
us
to
to
make
a
commitment
to
start
moving
forward
on
those,
but
that's
not
going
to
happen
with
a
one-year
allocation.
So
I
have
greater
concerns
than
this.
C
I
I
I
don't
disagree
with
using
some
one-time
funds
to
get
to
the
projects
that
were
identified,
but
I'm
also
very
hesitant
to
commit
other
funds
that
are
going,
I'm
hesitant
to
make
other
commitments
on
the
general
fund.
Knowing
that
there's
going
to
be
a
hole
here
that
we
need
to.
A
C
So
so
I
I'll
agree
with
my
colleagues
that
using
the
arpa
funds
is
is
appropriate
for
the
the
projects
that
were
identified,
but
I
also
wanted
to
lay
out
the
bigger
concern,
because
I
think
this
this
it
creates.
We
can't
address
this
in
a
vacuum,
and
so
I
wanted
to
put
this
out
there,
so
so
staff
has
some
time
to
digest.
I
know
we'll
dig
into
this
more
during
the
regular
meeting
later
tonight,
but
I
I
you
know.
A
Understood
thank
I
appreciate
that
councilmember
hamilton.
F
There's
two
other
comments
I
realized
I
didn't
make
earlier
the
also
as
councilmember
mason
stated.
I
would
be
in
favor
of
doing
a
doing
a
survey
to
get
the
to
you
know
get
you
know
of
the
of
the
folks
who
voted
just
to,
because
that
would
be
helpful
and
I
am
in
in
favor
of
doing
a
you
know.
F
I
wouldn't
I
would
like
to
participate
in
some
capacity,
as
I'm
sure
my
colleagues
would
in
that
postmortem,
because
you
know
I
did
and
I'm
sure
my
colleagues
did
spend
a
lot
of
time
talking
to
people
and
hearing
their
concerns,
and
we
need
to.
You
know,
make
sure
that
that
all
that
information
is
is
available
for
women.
For
so
that
we
know
when
you
know
when
and
if
we
go
back
out
with
this
question
again
in
a
couple
of
years
that
we
know
that
we're
better
armed.
For
that.
A
E
A
I'll,
let
the
our
city
attorney
and
our
city
manager
not
now
but
take,
take
council
comments
on
that.
I'm
gonna,
you
know
I
think
city
manager
already
indicated
it
at
the
beginning,
as
he
talked
about
having
time
to
reflect,
going
back
and
analyzing
that
so
didn't
have
specif
he
didn't
specify
as
to
when
and
or
how,
but
that
that
would
be
occurring,
obviously
not
not
in
this
forum,
but
it
would
be
so
that
he'd
already
committed
to
the
management
correct
me,
but
that
would
be
happening.
A
They've
already
had
some
initial
dialogue
on
this.
I
concur
with
my
colleagues
as
far
as
where
the
money
shakarpa
could
come
from
in
the
media.
I
certainly
confer
with
council
member
salazar
as
far
as
the
ongoing
concern,
because
this,
if
it
wasn't
for
the
federal
government,
this
money
wouldn't
be
here
and
it
was
through
the
covet
19
not
a
way.
You
want
to
get
it
so
in
essence
going
forward
it
does
it.
It
helps
us
leg
along,
but
it
doesn't
get
us
by
how
we
need
to
so.
A
I
think
city
manager,
unless
you
need
more,
you
have
a
direction
for
council
for
the
1
million
to
be
taken
out
of
the
harpa.
Am
I
correct
city
manager
go
ahead?
Please.
D
You
are
I'll.
D
A
lot
of
conversations
about
taking
a
look
at
doing
a
post-mortem
and
additional
efforts.
Why
don't
I
commit
that?
We
will
schedule
a
study
session
with
the
city
council
to
talk
about
everything
before
we
embark
on
a
specific
effort.
D
I
do
think
there's
a
number
of
discussions
that
need
to
happen
with
the
city
council
in
regard
to
council
member
mason's
request
to
take
a
look
at
the
top
20
largest
property
owners.
We
have
not
gone
through
and
done
a
examination
of
who
voted,
which
way,
and
I
think
we
want
to
have
a
conversation
about
that
and
understand
really
how
we're
gonna
put
together
that
information.
A
F
One
question:
what
about
doing
a
survey
of
voters,
because
that
would
have
that
that
if
we
were
going
to
do
it,
that
should
happen
soon.
Is
that
something
that
we,
the
five
of
us,
should
agree
on.
A
Well,
I
think
the
city
manager
had
addressed
that,
but
I'm
going
to
circle
back
if
it's
okay,
councilmember
hamilton
city
manager,
you
want
to
do
a
study
session
and
I
understand
what
you
just
said:
let's
have
a
study
session
or
articulate
a
plan
and
how
we're
going
to
get
information
or
survey.
You
can
use
the
word
survey.
So
please,
city
manager,.
D
There
are
other
methods
that
we
can
talk
about
to
obtain
information
on
why
the
effort
was
not
successful,
so
I
think
sort
of
allowing
staff
time
to
prepare
for
that
study
session
and
present
the
city
council
with
a
with
a
range
of
options,
as
well
as
potential
financial
strategies,
would
be
beneficial.
A
But
I
think
the
concern
too
by
my
colleagues
is
obviously
too
much.
Time
goes
by
people
forget
or
you
know
it's
not
fresh
right
that
just
like
after
let's
say
the
president.
What
made
you
go
aware?
Why?
So?
I
think
that
was
the
only
concern.
That's
been
articulated
through
the
mayor.
F
Yeah,
I
was,
I
completely
agree
with
what
you
just
said
regarding
the
the
the
timing
we
would
have,
we
would
want
to
hit
them
while
it's
fresh
and
also
the
outcome
of
that
survey
would
be
an
a
very
important
input
for
the
study
session.
A
And
city
manager,
I
don't
want
to
put
you
on
the
spot,
because
you've
articulated
to
us
a
couple
times
when
used
the
thought
study
session.
How
what
were
you
thinking
potentially
sure.
D
I
know
time
is
of
the
essence.
My
recommendation
would
be
that
we
return
to
the
city
council
as
soon
as
possible
with
that
study
session,
possibly
even
in
the
july
time
frame.
So
we
have
time
to
undertake
the
survey
as
well
as
other
tools
that
will
help
examine
why
the
effort
wasn't
wasn't
successful.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
the
clarity
all
right.
You
have
direction
on
that.
This
is
a
resolution
declaring
the
results
of
the
june
15th
mail
ballot
is
acting
by
council.
Do
the
chair
I'll.
C
C
C
A
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Colleagues.
This
concludes
the
study
session
for
this
evening.
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
adjourn
this
meeting
to
the
next
regular
city
council
meeting,
which
is
today
and
it'll,
be
at
7
p.m.
So
we
will
see
you
in
about
30
minutes
or
so.
