San Bruno City Council Meeting May 11, 2021
6c. Appoint a Resident to Fill One Vacancy on the Planning Commission
A
C
I
think
this
was
a
little
different.
We
bounced
back
and
forth
on
the
appointment
process
and
the
proposed
one.
I
I
really
don't
like
I.
I
think
we
should
continue
using
the
process
that
we
put
in
place
when
we
did
the
measure
g
appointment
of
allowing
a
first
and
a
second
for
whichever
candidate
or
applicant
and
then
work
our
way
to
voting
for
those
that
get
a
first
or
I'm
sorry
that
get
a
second
in
in
the
nomination
process.
D
So
I
had
asked
in
my
in
my
in
my
you
know:
pre
questions
you
know
to
to
get
a
rundown
of
what
the
of
what
the
the
process
was,
because
I
knew
that
the
process
was
new.
I
kind
of
knew
what
it
was,
but
it
wasn't
clear
and
it
was
you
know
there
was
multi-rounds
and
there
was
an
excel
spreadsheet
and
all
kinds
of
stuff
was
happening,
and
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
I
understood,
because
I
didn't
want
to
waste
time
in
this
meeting
learning
it.
D
But
then,
when
we
got
these
instructions
today,
these
weren't
familiar
at
all.
So
I
mean.
Is
this
a
another
brand
new
procedure?
We've
we
haven't
followed
before,
because
the
the
last
one
seemed
better
than
this
one,
and
both
of
them
seem
better
than
the
the
historical
one
of
rushing
to
who
whoever
gets
their
hand
up
first,
but
does
it
first
in
a
second
and
then
a
vote
happens
and
then
that's
it.
D
A
So
and
people
can
correct
me
in
case
my
memory
is
not
as
good,
but
at
the
last
time
we
appointed
a
planning.
Commissioner,
every
person
was
able
to
say
who
they
wished.
There
was
two
votes
for
one
particular
candidate,
two
votes
for
another
candidate
and
one
vote
for
another
candidate,
and
then
we
had
a
second
round
and
then
votes
switched
and
it
became
a
3-2
at
that
point,
and
that's
that's
how
we
did
it.
A
We
put
the
excel
spreadsheet
on
the
screen,
because,
due
to
zoom,
it
was
a
little
confusing
with
measure
g
and
everybody
was
like
wait.
I
thought
this
vote
happened.
I
thought
that
and
that's
why
the
the
clerk
was
then
showing
us
as
it
as
it
occurred,
so
that
we
could
have
a
a
a
good
record
and
that
in
case
it
was
misheard
that
we
can
correct
it
instantaneously,
instead
of
trying
to
go
back
and
and
replay
or
at
the
minute.
A
Okay,
so
I
so
what
we
have
heard
is
we,
we
saw
the
written
instructions.
The
vice
mayor
has
said
to
do
it
a
differently.
I
just
want
us
to
be
able
to
get
through
the
process
and
we
can
always
refine
it,
and
I
think
when
we
meet
in
person
again,
it's
going
to
modify
itself
again
because
obviously
we'll
all
be
there
in
a
room.
Some
at
some
point
together,
council
member
salazar.
E
If,
if
you
already
have
somebody
in
mind,
then
you
know
you're
going
to
advocate
for
your
person,
but
maybe
you
know,
one
of
us
could
be
swayed
or
one
of
us
could
think.
Oh,
I
didn't
think
about
that
or
or
somebody
could
say
yes
but
and
so
I
mean
I,
I
think
you
know
the
the
candidates
you
know
they
they
were.
A
E
You
know
they
all
have
something
to
offer
and
they
were
all
very
sincere
in
their
in
their
offer
to
serve,
and
so
I
I
thought
this
process
really
offered
an
opportunity
for
everybody
to
at
least
have
we
have
four
applicants.
There's
there's
five
of
us
conceivably,
everybody
could
get
nominated
and
they
feel
at
least
that
they
were
acknowledged
in
some
way.
It
could
be
that
we
all
naturally
gravitate
to
one
person-
maybe
not,
but
at
least
we
have
an
opportunity
to
discuss
that
process,
and
so
it
it
is
new.
E
A
And
and
then
the
other,
the
other
thing
too
was,
as
we
did
some
committee
commission
boards
again.
Zoom
makes
it
a
little
more
daunting.
Is
that
once
we
got
to
three?
So
if
the
first
three
people
said
the
same
person,
then
we
were
done
so
and
last
year
for
a
couple
appointments
the
mayor
and
the
vice
mayor,
because
they
go
last,
didn't
have
an
opportunity
to
even
vote.
F
And
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
suggestion
that
we
continue
this
item
because
we're
going
to
be
having
a
policies
meeting
anyway
at
some
point,
where
we're
finishing
up
our
processes
and
instead
of
just
kind
of
going
back
and
forth
now,
I
I
don't
want
to
embarrass
any
any
of
the
applicants
who
might
be
waiting
to
find
out
if
they
are
nominated
or
if
they're
selected
with
us,
going
back
and
forth
on
what
the
process
is
or
could
be
or
should
be.
So
my
suggestion
would
just
be
maybe
to
table
it
we're
going
to
have.
F
D
D
My
only
other,
please
I
I
I
you
know
the
the
this
this
spot
has
been
vacant
since
I
left
it
it's
mike.
This
is
all
my
fault,
but
the
so
I
I
you
know
I
don't
want
to
leave
it.
They
can
make
it
too
often,
but
one.
The
reason
I
raise
my
hand
again
is,
if
I'm
reading
the
this
these
instructions
the
way
that
I
think
I'm
reading
them.
D
The
the
situation,
mr
mayor,
that
you
just
brought
up,
could
it
could
have
could
happen
because
the
way
that
we're
going
to
run
through
this
is
each
council
member
will
be
called
by
name
to
give
their
the
name
of
the
applicant.
They
wish
to
appoint
start
they're
starting
it
would
be
well.
It
sounds
like
it
would
be,
starting
with
me
and
then
going
to
linda
then
with
michael
and
if,
if
the
three
of
us
all
pick
the
same
person,
then
vice
mayor
and
mayor,
don't
get
a
vote.
A
D
No,
no,
I
underst.
I
understand
that,
but
I'm
just,
but
it's
just
saying
that
with
this
it
says
the
name
council
member
will
state
the
name
of
the
applicant.
They
wish
to
appoint.
They
can
express
their
thoughts
and
then
they
go
to
the
next
one
and
the
city
clerk
will
keep
account,
tally.
The
first
applicant,
whose
name
is
stated
three
times,
will
be
appointed.
So
if
the
first
three
of
us
as
we're
moving
through
the
process,
pick
the
same
person,
rico
and
marty
are
out
and
that
doesn't
seem
fair.
A
Okay,
so
I
I
think
so,
we've
interviewed
folks.
I
agree
that
we
should
move
forward
with
the
appointment.
People
are
waiting
and
I
think
when
you
want
to
volunteer
your
time,
you
don't
want
it
made
difficult,
and
I
do
we
do
appreciate
those
folks
that
are
that
have
applied
so
very
quickly.
Vice
mayor.
C
C
C
C
G
City
manager
sure
just
for
clarification,
absolutely
it's
clear
that
the
city
council
does
not
have
a
established
voting
practice
for
how
you
appoint
members
of
your
cdc's,
we're
going
through
a
policy
and
procedures
process
to
define
that.
I
agree
with
all
of
the
statements
that
have
been
mentioned
to
say
that
at
least
in
the
last
two
years
there
have
been
three
processes,
knowing
that
there
was
not
a
a
process
that
was
agreed
upon
in
having
communications
with
the
mayor.
G
What
staff
did
was
we
sent
out
the
very
last
process
that
was
provided
to
you
back
in
october
of
2019,
when
you
went
through
a
process
to
appoint
a
number
of
members
of
your
boards
and
commissions,
and
the
only
addition
was
that
highlighted
section
which
clarified
that
council
members
may
articulate
why
they
are
selecting
someone.
So
I
just
want
to
point
out
that
that
process
is
not
new.
It
was
just
sent
out
to
provide
a
guidance,
because
there
was
an
open
question
on
what
process
you
would
follow
tonight.
G
I
do
think.
Lastly,
it
is
important
to
take
this
action
tonight.
You've
had
four
people
that
have
applied
if
you've
had
a
vacancy
for
several
months
and
but
with
the
projects
that
we
have
coming
before
the
planning
commission,
given
that
we
are
a
small
city
where
people
live,
knowing
the
new
conflict
of
interest
rules
suggests
that
people
should
recuse
themselves.
If
they're
within
a
thousand
square
feet,
you
can
have
various
people
recusing
themselves
and
it's
important
to
have
a
full
complement
of
your
planning
permission.
And
so
again
the
recommendation.
A
A
Why
don't
we
go
ahead
and
we'll
do
we'll
ask
the
city
clerk
to
bring
the
the
sheet
up
on
the
screen
if
she
would
please
and
then
we'll
do
a
motion
a
second,
but
with
the
understanding
that
we're
going
to
go
through
every
name
and
my
understanding
and
everything
correct
me
is
that
you
can.
You
can
actually
do
more
than
one
and
and
if
you
also
at
that
time
want
to
offer.
A
As
a
council
member
salazar
said,
some
dialogue,
that's
okay,
but
I
would
say
it's
about
the
person
or
persons
that
you're
wishing,
but
it's
not
gonna.
I
would
prefer
not
to
have
a
back
and
forth
about
who's
better
or
who's,
not
because
for
all
these
four
individuals
to
be
interviewed
and
go
through
this
process
and
have
to
do
form
700
and
have
to
do
this
and
that
we
we
appreciate
them
stepping
forward
after
their
services.
A
B
F
G
B
B
B
A
C
C
D
D
So
I'm
supportive
of
mr
dorazo,
because
he
is
a
pillar
of
the
san
bernardino
community,
his
commitment
to
giving
back
and
leave
leaving
the
world
a
better
place
that
he
found.
It
is
evident
not
only
in
his
work
in
the
community,
through
the
lions
and
in
all
his
other
volunteer
efforts,
including
his
work
with
the
tspc,
but
also
extends
to
his
choice
of
profession.
He's
a
college
professor.
D
E
A
Will
said,
councilmember,
salazar
and
I
was
going
to
go
to
the
next
candidate
and
the
next
candidate
to
have
those
opportunities.
So
to
me,
we're
not
voting
yet
we're
going
to
move
on
to
the
next
candidate
and
then,
of
course,
you
may
have
already
articulated
what
you
wish,
but
welcome
just
to
say
that
so,
let's
move
on
to
the
next
candidate
and
then,
if
there's
any
comments
or
mr
salazar,
if
that
was
already
for
mr.
E
Since
we're
on
to
mr
q
now
I
I
will
just
add
that
I
felt
that
his
answers
were
were
very
detailed.
It
was
obvious
that
he
had
studied
not
only
our
plans
but
thought
very
carefully
about
where
our
needs
were
what
direction
we
should
be
going
in
and
really
demonstrated
to
me
a
really
solid
understanding
of
not
only
that
you
know
the
the
mechanics
and
and
the
thing,
but
very
specifically
what
san
bruno
would
require.
A
E
As
a
as
a
lawyer,
really
I
mean
she
was
able
to
articulate
very
well
in
terms
of
the
understanding
of
the
legal
constraints
of
what
she
was
going
to
be
getting
into
that.
You
know
the
fact
that
there
are
it's
not
just
there
to
sort
of
interpret
things
as
as
needed,
but
rather
you
know
deferring
to
staff
and
and
being
able
to
interpret
not
reinvent
what
what's
been
established,
and
I
think
that's.
E
A
C
Pool
of
candidates-
I
mean
it's
just
like,
and
it
really
and
it
really
isn't
voting
no
for
anybody.
There
is
only
one
spot
for
and
there's
four
applicants
and
we're
not
saying
no
we're
choosing
the
the
one
person
that
we
believe
will
will
will
perform
the
duties
of
the
planning,
commissioner
and
and
unfortunately,
there's
only
one
spot.
So
thank
all
of
the
applicants
and
they
they
were
all
very
well
prepared
and,
and
these
positions
come
come,
come
back
and
and
and
for
those
that
aren't
going
to
get
it.
C
A
I
think
that
all
of
us,
before
we
start
back
up
at
the
top
of
the
page,
would
all
support
and
concur
with
everybody's
that
it
is
a
hard
decision.
We
were
very
fortunate
to
have
a
good
group
of
folks
that
are
willing
to
give
up
their
time
and
their
energy
for
the
city
advice.
I
apologize.
Councilmember
mason.
F
Yeah,
just
just
one
note
that
the
the
three
that
I
see
now
that
we're
gonna
vote
on,
I
think
what
is
really
exciting,
not
not
biased
but
really
exciting.
Is
that
we're
seeing
a
lot
of
young
families
getting
more
involved?
And
I
was
I
got
the
answers
that
all
three
of
them
gave
were
really
wonderful
and
and
just
just
hearing.
F
I
think
the
thought
put
into
the
answers
around
what
the
future
of
san
bernardino
looks
like
for
their
young
kids
is
one
of
the
reasons
I
got
involved
in
the
first
place,
and
so
I
I
want
to
echo
what
everybody
said
that
if
you
don't
get
selected
this
time
very
strong
group
of
candidates
and
and
we
I
definitely
hope
to
see
some
of
the
candidates
again,
actually
all
the
candidates
again.
So
thank
you.
A
A
B
D
A
A
B
F
E
F
D
A
process
question
I
mean
I
I
I
I
don't
want
to
make
make
assumptions,
but
I'm
assuming
an
abstention
is
because
no
sounds
like
no
you
suck,
and
we
know
that.
That's
not
true
for
any
of
these
people,
so
using
abstention,
you're,
absolutely
correct.
Okay,
I
just
want
to
make.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
that
you
know
that
folks
watching
all
right.
Let's,
let's
proceed.
B
B
D
C
A
B
C
E
A
F
Yeah,
I
think
one
of
the
I
just
want
to
say
that
one
of
the
areas
that
there's
a
lot
of
complaints
around
with
development
that's
coming
is
around
traffic.
So
I
think
we're
gonna
have
a
really
strong
group
up
there.
Who
has
the
traffic
background
the
technical
knowledge
of
the
background
and
then
also
just
knowledgeable
around,
what's
expected
of
a
committee
versus
a
commission
and
what's
really
wanted
and
desired
for
the
benefit
of
san
bruno,
I
do
want
to
say
that
city
manager
grogan
made
a
really
good
point.
F
That
would
be
helpful
in
the
next
round
of
any
of
the
appointments
is
as
we
look
at
the
areas
where
people
live
in
recusals.
If
we
could
have
an
idea
of
what
we
should
be,
what
should
we
be
looking
at?
Are
there
certain
areas
where
there's
no
representation,
because
I
don't?
I
don't
think
coming
into
that.
I
had
really
thought
about
where
I
don't
know
where
all
the
planning
commissioners
lived
to
be
really
honest,
so
I
wouldn't
know,
what's
not
represented.
F
A
A
G
G
You
cannot
consider
residency
and
where
someone
lives
as
a
part
of
the
criteria
for
selecting
individuals,
which
is
why
we
do
not
provide
that
information.
Now,
however,
there
are
conflict
of
interest
maps
that
are
generated
for
each
of
the
meet
each
of
the
meetings.
So
we
know
what
the
500
foot
and
1000
foot
buffer
is.
So
people
have
the
ability
to
recuse
themselves,
but
it's
just
not
something
you
can
consider
one
appointing,
which
is
