Description
San Bruno City Council Meeting September 14, 2021
6b. Downtown Ad Hoc Committee Member Appointment
A
Now,
we'll
move
on
to
item
b,
appoint
members
to
the
downtown
ad
hoc
committee.
As
a
summary,
there
was
a
presentation
made
by
the
vice
mayor
last
time
in
regards
to
the
concept,
thoughts,
kind
of
goals,
objectives,
et
cetera
city
manager,
sent
resent
that
out
to
city
council,
but
as
just
as
a
reminder
of
where
that
was
since
it
was
a
couple
weeks
ago.
B
A
A
A
Thank
you
very
much
so
you
can
see
here
on
this.
Is
the
goals
to
all
council
improve
communication
with
our
business
community?
Build
relationships,
develop
trust
everybody
can
read
it.
I
don't
need
to
read
it
so
why
don't
we
see
if
there
was
councilman
mason
I'd
like
to?
If
it's
okay
go
back
to
you,
because
you
were
just
wanting
to
make
sure
we
had
clarity
and
on
the
scope.
So
was
there
items
here
that
we
wanted
to
kind
of
look
at
or
go
over.
B
I
just
think
that
they're
broad,
so
I
think
one
of
the
suggestions
that
had
been
made
was
you
know.
Does
the
member
connect
members
of
the
committee
attend
the
chamber
of
commerce
meetings
as
it's
done
in
other
cities,
and
I
understand
that
a
city
staff
member
attends?
But
it's
not.
I
don't.
I
would
say
it's
not
the
same
as
having
your
elected
members
attend
and
then
the
other.
B
I
know
the
suggestion
I
had
made
was
around
maybe
looking
at
the
streetscape
plan
and
then
looking
at
the
recent
community
foundation
survey
around
downtown
and
reading
through
the
feedback
and
saying
what
within
the
streetscape
plan,
can
we
start
with?
Where
are
we
now,
but
I
guess
what
I'm
afraid
of
is
that
we're
gonna
have
a
hodgepodge
and-
and
it
would
be
great
to
have
recommendations
that
are
focused
on
what
we
have
already
and
then
how
we
can
actually
take
action.
What's
the
next
step
to
taking
action
and
narrowing
down
those
those
options.
E
Thank
you,
mr
hamilton,
very
polite
of
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
I
I
wanted
to
concur.
I
agree
with
what
council
member
mason
said
around
keeping
it
focused.
We
definitely
don't
want
to
come
back
with
a
laundry
list
of
things
that
we
can't
deliver
on,
because
I
don't
think
that
would
be
productive,
so
definitely
having
our
our
anchor
point,
be
the
plans
we've
already
approved
and
sort
of
building
on
that
and
getting
the
feedback
from
the
community.
E
Kind
of,
I
think,
might
put
us
in
a
in
a
precarious
situation
and
then
being
with
the
council,
is
also
approving
funds.
For
some
of
these
grants.
Does
that
sort
of
put
us
at
odds
where
we're
working
with
some
and
not
others
to
to
fund
those
grants?
So
I'm
sure
there's
there
might
be
a
way
to
you
know
make
that
above
board
and
clear,
but
I
think,
just
on
the
surface
it
looks
to
me
a
little
risky.
D
So,
actually
I'll
go
ahead
and
start
with
with
what
councilmember
salazar
just
brought
up
regarding
assisted
business
business
assist
businesses
with
grant
applications-
I
kind
of
agree,
but
maybe
it
would
be.
Maybe
that
could
be
changed
to
be
more
in
line
with
what
we've
already
done
as
a
council,
which
would
be
encouraging
that
inform
businesses
of
grant
opportunities.
And
you
know
that
that
sort
of
thing.
I
think
that
would
be
more
well
within
the
preview.
D
But
my
my
overall
comment,
cautioning
against
narrowing,
is
that
one
of
the
main
goals
is
to
go
out
into
the
community
and
find
out
go
into
the
business
community
and
find
out
what
the
problems
are,
because
we
don't
know
everything,
and
we
should
never
assume
that
we
do
know
everything
you
know
we're.
Not.
D
That
aren't
that
have
not
been
budgeted
or
whatever
that
those
types
of
things
we
would
not
send
to
the
city
manager.
We
would
not
contact
staff
that
those
would
go.
Those
would
have
to
be
brought
back
to
the
full
council
for
a
recommendation
on
either
we
don't
do
anything
or
we,
if,
if
we
want
to
put
it
on
a
strategic
initiative
for
a
future
year
and
and
or
or
if
it's
something
that's
more
urgent
and
we
want
to,
we
want
to
provide
staff
direction
on
that.
D
F
No,
of
course,
and
and
and
this
discussion
is,
is
truly
appreciated,
and
these
were
bulleted
items
that
I
put
together
for
two
weeks
ago,
and
we
didn't
really
talk
about
it
in
detail,
because
we
didn't
have
the
opportunity.
Until
now,
I
have
no
problem
providing
additional
focus
to
this
streetscape
project
project,
the
items
that
are
in
there.
However,
it's
also
important
to
know
that
our
city
manager
has
already
told
us.
F
You
know
that
they
are
working
on
what
they're
working
on
and
we
already
are
having
difficulty
before
we
just
rephrase
it
staffer
is
already
working
on
too
many
too
many
things,
but
an
additional
focus
on
street
streetscape
and
a
survey
to
kind
of
find
out
what
our
business
owners
would
prefer.
Our
community
prefers.
That's
fine,
the
grants
absolutely
right,
but
the
the
the
the
problem,
I
think
with
grants.
F
You
know
our
business
owners
are
so
busy
and
they
get.
You
know
a
packet
of
you
know,
information
from
whether
it
be
from
from
us.
When
we
deliver
them,
they
need
a
little
more
help
and
and
that
encouragement
and-
and
it
was
like
today-
I
went
to
my
barber
and
it
was
like
you
haven't
applied
for
anything
yet
and
he
goes
like.
F
She
didn't
she
didn't
apply
and
she
just
needs
a
little
more
encouragement
because
they
haven't
received
anything
yet
so
I
I
appreciate
those
and-
and
I
understand
that,
as
we
come
back,
we'll
be
able
to
provide
this
community
will
be
able
to
provide,
and
probably
the
most
important
thing
is,
what
does
our
business
community
think
and
need
and
hearing
from
them
directly
and
we
currently
don't
have
an
effective
way
of
communicating
with
our
business
community.
So
well
noted.
However,
somebody
wants
wordsmith
any
of
that,
I'm
absolutely
fine
with
it.
A
C
With
specific
regard
to
bullet
tour
assists
businesses
with
grant
applications,
both
at
the
last
council
meeting
that
this
council
meeting
has
been
expressed
in
many
different
ways.
I
think
one
concern
is
that
a
council
member
assisting
a
business
with
a
grant
application
when
the
money
may
have
been
provided
by
the
city
may
cause
a
conflict
right.
C
Similarly,
with
the
fifth
bullet,
I
think
it's
important
that
this
ad
hoc
committee,
which
is
an
ad
hoc,
typically
meant
to
be
limited
in
duration
and
scope,
is
not
seen
as
a
new
entity
that
businesses
go
to
for
resources
or
to.
But
it
is
instead
seen
as
what
council
members
are,
which
are
a
conduit
of
information,
soliciting
feedback
and
ultimately
reporting
back
to
the
city
council.
C
There
I
know
that
there's
been
talk
not
so
much
today,
but
the
last
time
this
was
discussed
about
the
chamber
of
commerce
and
one
in
a
more
robust
chamber
of
commerce,
but
I
think
realizing
that
an
ad
hoc
committee
committee
is
typically
limited
in
scope,
limited
in
duration
partnering
with
those
agencies
to
maybe
enhance
their
presence
downtown.
So
they
can
be
that
entity
that
will
be
that
lasting
resource
for
businesses
or
potentially
even
talking
to
businesses
and
seeing
if
there's
interest
in
a
downtown
business
association
that
has
a
specific
focus
on
downtown.
C
Planned
that
the
committee
could
help
push
out,
certainly
over
the
next
six
months,
that
there's
at
least
one
active
survey
now
and
probably
will
be
five
or
six.
That
will
come
up
whether
it's
ballot
initiatives,
whether
it
is
policy
things
that
the
city
council
service,
that
may
have
an
impact
on
downtown
and
so
those
can
can
be
talked
about.
C
And,
lastly,
with
regard
to
developing
a
resource
guide.
If
this
is
a
limited
entity,
a
question
is:
should
the
should
the
ad
hoc
committee
be
the
ones
to
develop
the
resource
guide,
or
should
they
work
with
other
groups,
like
maybe
the
chamber,
to
develop
that
resource
guide?
So
it's
a
a
lasting
document,
not
just
something
that's
developed
for
a
a
point
in
time.
D
I
agree
that
was
very,
very
helpful.
Thank
you,
city
manager.
The
one
thing
that
I
left
off
of
mike
of
my
comment
was
related
to
the
chamber
of
commerce
and
council
member
mason's
comment
about
that,
and
I
do
think
it
would
be
appropriate
for
the
the
members
of
this
ad
hoc
committee
to
attend
the
chambers
meetings
and
and
be
and
become
engaged
with
with
them,
even
beyond
those.
D
You
know
hopefully
well
beyond
those
meetings
and
then
because
the
ad
hoc
committee
is
limited
in
duration,
perhaps
once
the
once
the
adult
committee
is
disbanded.
Maybe
council
would
agree
to
always
have
you
know
rotating
two
members
attend
on
an
ongoing
basis,
but
that's
something
we
can.
We
can
talk
about
in
the
future,
but
I
would
be
fine
with
adding
that
as
a
that's
a
goal
here
as
well.
You
know
something's,
you
know
specifically
like
when
we
talk
about
improved
communication
with
our
business
community
and
the
chamber
of
commerce.
D
A
So
on
on
the
chamber,
you
know
I'm
going
to
say
what
I
said
last
time.
A
little
bit
too
is
that
they
do
have
a
board
of
directors.
So
to
say
we
are
coming
to
your
meeting
and
we
are
now
going
to
be
participating
going
forward
even
in
a
advisory
capacity
or
whatever
the
term
may
be.
I
think
an
ad
hoc
committee
to
go
and
introduce
themselves
to
kind
of
talk
and
update
and
have
them
understand
from
the
the
same
page,
I
think,
is
helpful
keeping
in
mind.
A
We
do
have
a
city
employee,
a
director,
that's
on
the
board,
and
so
that
I
think,
puts
it
a
little
unique
on
that.
I
think
I
also
want
to
go
back
in
history
way
before
my
time
on
the
council,
but
when
they
started
to
look
at
a
business
guide,
the
back
way
back
when
it
was
like
okay.
Well,
we
need
resources.
A
We
need
city
money,
so
I
I
think
we
need
to
be
conscientious
about
what
that
could
mean
and
how
it
could
be
interpreted,
but
I
think
trying
to
promote
the
businesses
and
the
communication
there's
nothing
wrong
with
that
city
manager
talked
about
some
of
the
surveys
that
could
be
helpful
on
the
assist
the
grand
applications.
I
think
what
council
member
hamilton
had
mentioned
about
the
inform.
A
I
think
it
was
your
council,
member
and
city
manager,
I
think,
are
accurate.
I
do
agree
with
council
member
mason
that
we
do
have
stuff
that,
maybe
folks
need
to
you
know.
Maybe
they
just
don't
even
remember
what
is
streetscape
plans?
What
really?
What
was
the
vision
so
trying
to
educate
and
say
hey
there
are
things
folks
do
know
that
you
know.
A
We've
talked
about
centennial
park,
we're
going
to
have
another
thing
on
a
study
session,
so
these
are
things
too
that
are
already
in
in
the
works,
and
I
do
kind
of
concern
if
we
come
back
and
bring
so
much
or
if
it's
brought
back
and
then
it's
like
setting
the
expectations
for
success,
not
from
you
know,
under
delivering
and
over
promising.
So
I
think
those
are
the
kind
of
things
just
we
want
to
be
conscientious
about
any
other
final
comments
on
the
downtown
improvement
ad
hoc
committee.
A
F
Mayor
yeah
and
I'd
like
to
thank
the
city
manager
for
for
the
additional
comments
about
the
chamber
and
that's
fine
to
kind
of
have
an
additional
bullet
point.
The
chamber
is
part
of
our
business
community,
but
that's
fine.
I
wasn't
I
specifically
didn't
put
in
the
business
improvement
district
because
that's
a
big
monster
of
its
own
and
the
amount
of
time
to
do
it.
F
A
Yeah
and
I
don't
think
anyone's
saying
you
need
to
have
a
downtown
district
or
something
I
think
it's
just.
Could
it
ever
evolve
into
that
or
do
do
you
have
folks
that
want
to
take
that
on
as
they
used
to
have
many
moons
ago?
But
you
know
maybe
times
are
different
and
it's
got
to
be
a
different
element.
B
Yeah
now
I
I
just
I
I
just
want
to
thank
vicente
medina
for
bringing
this
up.
I
think
he's
been
a
huge
champion
for
downtown,
and
hopefully
we
hear
recommendations
of
next
steps
and
what
has
been
waiting.
I
just
get
concerned
that
we're
going
to
bring
forth
something
new
and
we
have
so
much
waiting
and
I
do
want
to
say
I
don't
think
that
we
would
just
I
don't
think
we
would,
or
anybody
here
would
just
show
up
to
a
chamber
meeting.
B
I
think
there's
an
understanding
that
there's
a
board
that
we
have
to
talk
to
and
invite
ourselves
to
the
party,
but
I
still
think
that
it's
important
other
cities
have
done
it
and
I
just
spoke
with
another
city,
and
they
do
it
to
ensure
that
there's
a
connection
between
the
council
and
the
business
community
and
that
the
business
community
knows
that
the
council
cares
and
wants
to
see
their
businesses
thrive.
So
thank
you.
A
A
So
I
think
you
know
we
need
to
utilize
our
resources
and
so
and
not
duplicate
with
that
said,
I
think
we've
heard
about
some
of
the
modifications
and
trying
to
keep
us
on
point
and
city
manager.
Again,
your
comments
were
very
helpful.
Thank
you,
and
so
with
that
said,
I'm
you
know
we
ready
to
move
on,
I'm
going
to
recommend
that
I
think
the
vice
mayor
might
want
to
serve
on
it.
Just
a
feeling.
A
I
got
yes,
I
know
the
vice
mayor
medina
and
if
it's
and
then
remember,
hamilton,
william
abel
and
have
the
oh
time,
okay,
like
nominations.
Okay
with
that,
so
unless
there's
any
objection,
then
I
would
to
having
vice
mayor
medina
and
councilmember
hamilton
serve
on
the
downtown
ad
hoc
committee.
Is
there
any
objections
from
any
council
members
or
any
other
suggestions
of
other
persons
to
serve
on
that?
