San Bruno City Council Meeting March 23, 2021
3. Public Comment
A
Now
we're
going
to
move
on
to
item
number
three
public
comments
for
items
not
on
the
agenda.
Individuals
will
be
allowed
three
minutes.
It
is
the
council's
policy
to
refer
matters
raised
in
this
form
to
staff
for
investigation,
and
our
action
were
appropriate.
The
brown
act
prohibits
the
council
from
discussing
or
acting
upon
any
matter,
not
agendas
pursuant
to
state
laws.
So
if
you
do
wish
to
speak
on
an
item
that
is
not
not
on
the
agenda
this
evening,
if
you
go
ahead
and
would
raise
your
virtual
hand,
that
would
be
very
much
appreciated.
A
C
D
No,
I'm
just
gonna,
listen.
What's
the
meeting.
D
A
Well,
welcome
no
problem-
and
this
was
just
taking
public
comments
for
items
not
on
the
agenda,
but
we'll
go
ahead
and
please
go
to
our
next
speaker.
Please.
E
E
Okay,
I'm
just
going
to
read
pretty
much
what
I
sent
to
you
as
a
protesting:
the
proposed
storm
water
fee.
My
parcel
number
is
zero:
two
zero
two
seven
three
dash
zero
six,
zero.
A
I
I
apologize,
I'm
so
sorry
for
the
interruption
that
is
on
the
agenda
this
evening
army.
That
item
is
on
the
agenda
this
evening,
and
this
is
for
items
that
are
not
on
the
agenda
at
this
time.
For
public
comment,
pardon
me
that
item
as
far
as
stormwater
and
the
protest
is
on
the
city
council
agenda
this
evening.
Yes,
and
so
that
would
be
the
time
in
which
you
would
want
to
speak
on
that
and
that's
under
public
hearings
item
seven.
A
Yep
you
you'll
hear
us
we'll
call
out
the
number
and
we
will
read
out
the
item
that
will
be
discussed
and
absolutely
because.
A
Yes,
sir,
your
virtual
hand
came
up
to
show
that
you
wanted
to
speak.
Okay,
you
did
you
did
great,
so
we'll
let
you
know
when
it's
time,
okay!
Well,
thank
you
very
much.
My
our
pleasure
and
thank
you
for
being
with
us
this
evening.
Are
there
any
other
folks
that
wish
to
speak
on
items
not
on
the
agenda
this
evening?
If
you
could,
could
you
raise
your
virtual
hand
all
right?
We
have
a
bring
in
the
next
speaker.
Please.
B
A
Are
you
talking
in
regards
to
the
the
stormwater.
A
Yeah
the
public
communist
for
items
not
on
the
agenda,
but
that
is
a
coming
up,
as
we
told
the
other
gentleman
and
so
we'll
announce
it:
okay!
Okay,
thank
you
all
right.
A
Hold
on
please,
council
vice
mayor,
let
me
just
go
over
because
I
see
another
hand
coming
up,
so
I
just
want
to
let
folks
know
so
on
the
agenda
there's
a
few
items.
A
lot
of
you
may
be
here
for
a
public
hearing.
That's
item
number
seven,
and
that
is
where
staff
will
give
a
report.
Obviously
it's
opened
up
to
the
folks
and
since
it's
on
the
agenda,
that
would
be
the
appropriate
time
to
speak
on
that
topic
and
I'm
sorry
go
ahead.
Vice
mayor.
C
Yeah,
I'm
just
for
forwarding
a
text
that
someone
says
that
the
sound
on
the
tv
doesn't
work.
A
And
vice
mayor,
thank
you
because
I'm
getting
text
after
text
and
so
I'm
going
to
and
I
apologize
very
much
to
everybody,
I'm
going
to
ask
to
take
a
break
because
I've
got
folks
that
are
I'm
getting
called
that
are
not
being
able
to
get
into
the
meeting.
And
I
think
it's
really
important
and
I
do
apologize
very
much
when
we
reconvene
again
we'll
be
on
public
comment
for
items
not
on
tonight's
council
agenda
for
discussion
or
business.
A
Us
we
can
move
the
vice
mayor
into
the
panelist
room.
A
F
A
You,
okay,
no
problem.
Okay,
we're
going
to
reconvene
the
meeting
at
7
32.
I've
asked
for
staff,
the
city
manager
and
or
whoever
else
is
necessary.
You
update
us
as
to
our
delay
and
then
before
we
get
into
public
comment.
I
wanted
to
make
an
announcement
that
again,
public
comment
is
for
items
that
are
not
on
the
agenda
this
evening
and
if
it's
regarding
the
public
hearing,
which
is
item
seven,
which
means
all
the
public
hearing
to
consider
protests
regarding
the
storm,
drainage
and
flood
protection
fee,
that
is
on
the
agenda.
A
F
Good
evening,
mayor
city,
council,
javon,
grogan
city
manager,
after
nearly
a
year
worth
of
zoom
meetings,
we
had
a
a
mess
up
tonight,
and
so
the
issue
was
that
the
zoom
link
that
was
posted
on
the
public
hearing
notice
did
not
match
what
was
posted
on
the
agenda.
F
So
currently
we
are
in
the
zoom
meeting
that
was
posted
on
the
public
hearing
notice,
which
makes
this
meeting
legal
and
can
continue.
We
are
in
the
process
of
reposting
this
meeting
information
on
all
of
our
social
media
platforms,
next
door,
twitter,
facebook
and
on
multiple
places
on
the
website.
F
The
city
council
previously
planned
to
continue
the
public
hearing
tonight
on
the
storm
water
item
until
april
6.
So
anyone
that
did
not
have
the
opportunity
to
get
in
and
protest
or
speak
during
public
comment
have
the
ability
to
write
that
in
and
speak
at
the
continued
april
6
public
hearing.
We
do
apologize
for
the
technical
difficulties.
F
Unfortunately,
the
two
zone
links
did
not
match,
but
we
have
referred
everyone
that
we
can
to
this
meeting
and
so
with
that
I'll
turn
it
back
over
to
the
mayor
to
resume
public
comment.
A
All
right,
thank
you
all
right
and
again
sorry
to
everyone
for
the
inconvenience,
so
we're
back
under
public
comments.
This
is
for
items
that
are
not
on
tonight's
agenda
and
I
will
turn
it
back
over
to
the
city
clerk.
Please.
B
Hi,
whenever
you're
ready.
D
Can
anyone
hear
me
you
can
thumbs
up
or
down?
Please
like
okay,
for
some
reason,
I
cannot
hear
you
so
I
don't
know
this
is
in
the
agenda
so,
and
this
is
my
first
time
speaking,
the
public.
D
D
Talk
talk
about
the
public
safety
in
regards
to
asian
american
designs
as
a
asian
american
design
person.
I
fear
for
my
own
life,
I
fear
for
my
family's
life,
I
feel
for
my
children's
life
and
I
want
to
know
what
the
senpai
police
department
is
doing
to
protect
us,
in
particular,
the
extra
step
to
protect
us.
B
Okay,
thank
you
next,
I
unfortunately
I
don't.
C
C
Ready,
yes,
I'm
ready,
it's
just
gonna,
be
real
quick.
Is
it
possible
to
request
a
some
stop
signs
on
walnut
street
because
I've
been
almost
hit
a
few
times
there?
It
would
be
very
good
for
some
stop
signs
really
on
walnut
street.
That's
it!
Thank
you.
C
B
I'm
okay
too,
I
don't
have
any
questions
right
now.
Okay,
thank
you,
and
next
we
have
anne.
B
C
Ready,
okay,
so
I
am
talking
about
the
the
storm
drainage
and
the
flood
protection,
the
increased
rate
into
the
property
tax.
A
Ma'am,
I
I
very
much
apologize
for
the
interruption
that
is
on
the
council
agenda
on
item
number,
seven
under
the
public
hearing,
and
that
would
be
the
best
time
and
the
appropriate
time
for
you
to
speak
and
offer
your
questions
or
concerns,
and
it
can
be
verbalized
my
understanding
as
well,
for
a
protest.
If
one
letter
has
not
been
submitted.
A
A
You're
welcome
I
I
do
want
to
just
ask
if
there
is
anybody
else
at
this
time
from
the
public
see
there
any
other
hands
I'll
just
give
a
moment,
because
I
know
it
was
a
pause
and
everything
again.
If
it's
for
an
item
not
on
the
agenda,
please
feel
free
to
raise
your
virtual
hand,
and
we
do
appreciate
everybody.
That's
here
this
evening.
B
I
see
one
more
hand
raise
rich
kanig
just
one
moment.
While
I
bring
you
in.
G
Hi
city,
council,
mayor
and
city
council,
rich
koenig
sheet
metal
workers,
local
104,
I'm
just
want
to
comment
on
the
rec
center
project.
That's
coming
up
to
bid.
C
G
Next
week,
or
maybe
this
week,
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
or
let
the
city
know
that
104
is
watching
to
make
sure
that
the
city
you're
not
ensures
that
all
the
contractors
on
the
on
the
project
follow
the
letter
of
the
law
regarding
prevailing
wage,
family
wages,
labor
code
and
other
regulations.
G
So
we
hope
that
the
city
council
does
the
right
thing
and
selects
the
appropriate
contractors
on
that
project.
G
We
know
that
project
was
funded
by
some
of
the
pg
e
money
that
from
the
explosion
at
crestmoor
about
10
years
ago,
so
yeah
we
have
a
lot
of
members
that
live
in
san
bruno.
A
lot
of
union
members
they're
watching
they're.
Calling
me
and
they're
asking
me
hey.
G
Most
responsible
contractors
and
I
sent
the
email
to
all
you
all-
the
council,
members
and
the
mayor,
so
I
left
my
cell
phone
number.
If
anybody
wants
to
talk
to
me
offline
I'd
be
happy
to
do
so.
C
H
Okay,
so
this
is
one
safety
comments
that
I
have
been
addressed
to
this
police
department
on
on
the
open
drive.
It's
a
pretty
wide
street
that
strength
between
westboro
and
zinc
cloud
area.
Often
the
people
go
pretty
fast
on
the
roadway
and
speed
limit
on
that
road
is,
I
think,
is
25
miles
per
hour,
but
oftentimes
people
go
pretty
fast.
H
H
Hopefully
they
can
talk
to
the
other
department,
providing
speed
bumps
on
the
road
to
reducing
the
speed
traveling
down
on
the
open
drive.
Thank
you
very
much.
I
Please
don't
begin
until
I
know
you
can
hear
me
we
can
hear
you.
Are
you
on
public
comment
period
of
the
agenda,
because
san
bruno
cable
has
no
sound
and
the
zoom
meeting
says
the
host
has
another
meeting
of
progress.
A
Yes,
we
can
hear
you.
I
Okay,
I'm
malcolm
robinson,
the
32
year
old
citizen
of
san
bernardino,
trying
to
take
part
in
san
bernardino
city
council
meetings
has
become
problematic,
citizens
are
not
allowed
to
attend.
Meetings
can
begin
20
minutes
later.
Even
a
bit
early,
I
watched
the
march
2nd
fee
meeting
that
began
20
minutes
late,
tired
of
waiting
for
it
to
begin.
I
said
my
dvr
went
to
prepare
dinner.
It
was
a
nerve
to
hear
the
city
managers
say
we
must
raise
fees
on
everything
in
san
bernar.
I
Some
fees
would
double
some
triple.
Other
fees
would
be
10
times
the
current
amount.
A
hired
consultant
was
even
more
disquieting.
I
heard
that
basic
accounting
principles
were
being
used
in
san
bernardino
for
the
first
time
in
20
years.
Really
what
did
that
consultancy
cost
the
citizens
of
san
bernardino?
The
reason
why
fees
in
san
bernardino
are
to
be
raised
was
vague.
Apparently
our
fees
seem
to
be
lower
than
millbrae
south
city
and
burlingame.
They
also
discussed
what
fee
increases
are
governed
by
law
and
what
fee
increases
can
be
raised
to
market
levels.
I
I
assume
they
were
thinking
of
the
new
rec
center.
The
mayor
did
ask
for
public
comments.
I
was
watching
20
minutes
behind
live
time
and
there
were
no
public
comments
that
I
recall
a
council
member
of
the
danish
team
began
to
propose
higher
fees.
Council
member
mason
pointed
out
that
the
city
manager
was
comparing
apples
to
oranges.
Besides
the
obvious
economic
and
income
differences.
San
bruno
is
an
area
of
economic
concern
as
decided
by
the
state
of
california.
I
I
Yes,
south
city
is
the
world
hub
of
gen
tech,
the
large
budget
surplus
and
pays
a
hundred
dollar
monthly
stipend
to
members
of
its
citizen
committees,
and
it
has
an
active
circ
program.
San
bernardino
has
neither
council
member
salazar
pointed
out
that
tripling
the
permit
fee
to
install
a
water
heater
might
prompt
citizens
from
not
getting
a
permit
at
all.
The
reality
is
many
people
avoid
fees.
At
current
levels,
councilmember
hamilton
said
we
should
compare
with
san
mateo
fees,
san
mateo,
the
home
of
the
atkinson
construction,
owning
family
and
the
hearst
family.
I
Why
would
we
why
not
compare
fees
to
pacifica
and
daily
city
these
cities
more
akin
to
san
bernardino?
What
is
this
fast
pace
pushed
by
the
city
council
to
raise
the
cost
of
everything
watch
the
mayor's
state
of
the
city
address,
and
there
were
no
mention
of
pending
budget
crisis?
Why
hire
fees
for
everything
in
san
bruno
is
the
big
question.
I
The
brown
act
prevents
city
council
from
providing
an
answer
today,
however,
it
is
a
question
that
the
city
council
have
to
answer
in
time,
so
I
thank
you
for
the
time
and
we've
got
big
technological
issues.
Disabling
technology
is
what
we
used
to
call
it.
So
good
luck
with
that.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
A
Thank
you
for
your
comments.
Okay,
I'm
seeing
showing
nobody
else
under
public
comment.
I'll,
do
one
more
check.
Okay,
I
just
wanna.
What
I
want
to
do
is
first
open
it
up
to
public
comment
for
items
not
on
the
agenda
to
be
fair
to
those
that
may
have.
You
know,
came
late
to
the
transition,
which
was
nobody's
fault
so,
but
if,
if
you've
already
spoken
under
public
comments,
the
first
time
we're
not
going
to
have
you
speak
a
second
time
on
items
on
the
agenda.
A
So
if
you
did
not
have
an
opportunity,
the
first
time
for
public
comment,
then
if
you
could
please
raise
your
hand
which
we
do
have
a
person
and
then
we'll
go
through
this
once
I
see
one
person
right
now
and
we
will
a
city
clerk
if
you
can
call
in
the
one
person
for.
A
Okay,
thank
you
all
right.
So
therefore,
this
was
that
was
that
opportunity
to
make
up
for
any
any
folks
that,
unfortunately,
because
of
the
fusion,
so
okay,
so
we
do
have.
This
is
my
last
time
I'm
gonna
be
asking
for
anybody
who
wants
to
speak
on
items
not
on
the
agenda,
who
has
not
had
an
opportunity.
Okay,.
