San Bruno City Council Meeting May 25, 2021
6b. Authorize City Manager to Vote on Behalf of City in the Storm Drainage and Flood Protection Fee Election
A
A
D
D
This
is
distinctly
different
than
a
county
election
that
we
are
more
familiar
with
with
when
only
natural
persons
can
vote,
and
so
the
item
before
you
essentially
provide
direction
to
the
city
manager
on
voting
on
city
properties
by
the
required
june
15th
deadline.
As
the
staff
report
notes,
this
is
not
a
an
uncommon
occurrence.
The
city
of
burlingame,
who
had
their
storm
water
fee
in
2019,
voted
on
their
95
parcels,
and
so
the
city
of
san
bruno
owns
103
parcels
for
various
facilities.
Things
like
our
civic
center.
D
Four,
nine,
eight,
eight
five,
nine
cent
per
square
foot
of
impervious
surface
area
and
the
estimated
cost
of
our
fair
share
from
the
city
is
134
000
from
various
funds,
and
so
the
action
that
is
before
you
tonight
is
to
adopt
a
resolution
authorizing
the
city
manager
to
vote
on
behalf
of
the
city
on
the
storm,
drainage
and
flood
protection.
Fee
property
owner
mel
in
ballot
election
direction
is
requested.
D
There
are
really
two
options:
a
yes
vote
or
an
affirmative,
supporting
the
enactment
of
the
storm
drain
and
flood
protection
fee
on
city-owned
parcels
again,
reflecting
the
city's
fair
share
for
the
parcels
it
owns,
or
a
no
vote
or
negative,
which
is
not
supporting
enactment
on
steady
owned
parcels
and
with
that.
That
concludes
the
presentation.
A
Okay,
we
did
have
a
member
of
the
public
that
was
waiting,
so
I'd
like
to
go
to
our
public
in
case
they'd
like
to
have
their
comments
and
then,
if
they
needed
to
depart
so
anybody
from
the
public.
This
would
be
the
opportunity
in
which
to
raise
your
hand
and
make
your
comments
known,
and
we
will
city
clerk
if
you
can
bring
in.
I
see
we
have
two
speakers.
E
E
F
Okay,
it's
it's
me
and
actually
plymouth
is
here
as
well
and
would
like
to
speak
in
a
moment.
My
understanding
is
that
these
rates
haven't
been
adjusted
up
for
almost
20
years.
I
mean
since
the
90s-
and
I
know,
raising
property
owner
fees
is
never
a
popular
thing
in
our
politics.
So
I
really
I
want
to
thank
the
city
council
for
taking
responsibility
here
like
this
is
a
really
important
issue
with
climate
change.
Like
we
all
know,
storms
are
going
to
become
more
intense
over
time.
G
So
so
this
is,
this
is
plymouth.
Can
I
just
speak
directly
after
rs?
If
that's
okay?
Yes,
please,
okay,
great
hi,
so
this
is
plymouth.
Hansberg
speaking,
I
live
with
aros
in
the
bel
air
neighborhood,
which
was
relatively
recently
since
we
moved
here
four
years
ago,
assessed
for
flood
risk
and
we
were
found
to
be
a
flood
risk.
My
personal
property
is
like
one
block
outside
of
that,
but
you
know
the
whole.
G
The
neighborhood
as
a
whole
is
is
substantially
in
a
flooded
area,
so
I
think
it's
really
important
for
us
to
maintain
our
stormwater
infrastructure
to
make
sure
that
those
floods
are
less
severe.
If
and
when
they
happen.
There
was
a
case
just
a
few
years
ago,
where
I
know
a
neighborhood
in
san
jose
that
was
like
not
expected
to
flood.
Had
this
this
major
flood
when
one
of
their
drainage
systems,
you
know
failed.
G
A
Thank
you
for
your
comments.
I
don't
see
any
other
speakers
so
we'll
bring
it
to
the
council.
There
were
some
questions
that
were
raised
by
the
first
speaker.
What
one
I
I'll
take
just
so
you
hear
for
me
and
the
council
is
the
reason
this
item
is
on.
The
agenda
is
for
the
council
to
hear
from
the
community
to
have
its
comments
and
deliberation
and
then
to
direct
the
city
manager
on
how
to
vote.
So
this
will
come
from
the
city
council
that
will
direct
the
manager
how
to
vote.
A
D
Direction
is
requested.
There
was
a
question
about
do.
Only
natural
persons
are
only
natural
persons
allowed
to
vote.
The
answer
is
no
corporations
school
districts,
public
entities,
religious
institutions,
it
is
the
property
owner
of
record
and
the
representative
and
the
authorized
representative
for
that
property
owner.
So
whether
it's
an
llc
a
corporation
et
cetera-
and
it
is
true
that
the
current
storm
water
fee
has
not
been
increased
in
nearly
30
years.
I
believe
the
numbers
27
years
was
the
last
time
it
was.
A
H
H
So
I'm
glad
that
we're
I'm
glad
that
we're
discussing
it
the
it's
really
important
to
note
that
this
process
that
we're
following,
including
the
city
being
able
to
vote
to
you,
know
to
vote
on
its
own
parcels.
This
is
all
part
of
the
state
mandated
process
for
how
to
handle
these
types
of
increases.
H
You
know
there
were.
There
were
questions
that
came
up
earlier
in
the
process
regarding
you
know
that
votes
for
public
directors
and
all
those
types
of
things-
and
I
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
the
public
understands
that
that
that
we're
not
making
up
this
process
as
we
go
that
this
is
that
this
is
this,
the
the
state
mandated
process
for
doing
this,
which
includes
the
city
being
able
to
vote
just
as
anyone
else
on
every
on
on
each
parcel
and
any
any
individual.
H
If
one
individual
owns,
you
know
10
parcels
within
san
bruno
that
individual
would
get
10
votes
in
this
process.
It's
the
same.
It's
all
the
same
so,
and
I
just
also
wanted
to
reiterate,
because
it
didn't.
I
don't
think
enough.
Enough
emphasis
was
put
on
this
on
this
fact
that
you
know
that
that,
while
nobody
is
in
favor
of
that,
nobody
is
ecstatic
about
having
to
raise
a
raise
this
fee.
H
This
right
now
we're
all
paying
a
1994
rate
for
our
storm
water
and
what
else
in
your
life
are
you
able
to
pay
the
same
price
that
you
were
paying
in
1994
for
this?
For
that
service?
It's
just
not
it's
just
not
this,
this
fiscally
sustainable,
which
is
why
we
had
to
take
this
action.
So
I
just
wanted
to
make
those
comments.
Thank
you.
I
J
I
Right
right
so
just
to
make
that
absolutely
clear-
and
this
is
really
part
of
the
importance,
no
more
questions
for
you.
City
attorney.
Here's
my
comment:
the
importance
of
this
council,
bringing
this
item
to
the
public
for
the
public
to
decide
that,
as
as
we're
all
having
some
financial
uncertainty
during
these
times,
the
the
risk
that
we
will
put
ourselves
in
as
we
proceed
going
forward.
If
this
doesn't
pass,
we
already
we're
already
seeing
it
we're
not.
