San Bruno City Council Meeting January 22, 2013
10d. Approve Contribution for the Grade Separation Archway Construction
B
B
B
The
concept
design
for
the
archway,
with
some
with
some
expectation
to
have
some
follow-up
changes.
Small
changes
to
this
to
the
design
to
change
the
design
elements
of
the
arch
itself.
Since
then,
JP
be
developed,
the
cost
for
the
arch-
oh
I,
am
looking
at
it,
but
I
am
naturally
anger
to
you
and
JP
be
developed.
The
cost
for
George
the
estimated
cost
is
1.2
million
for
this
project.
B
B
It
received
all
the
result
of
the
redistribution
of
the
former
redevelopment
cash
balance
fund
and
to
use
for
the
remaining
of
147,000
general
fund
reserve,
or
have
you
wish
to
use?
Also
the
city's
arts
art
fund,
which
has
a
existing
balance
of
120,000
mark
Simon,
would
like
to
make
a
few
comments
and
both
of
us
will
stand
for
any
question
you
might
have.
C
Mr.
mayor
members
of
the
council,
on
behalf
of
the
caltrain
staff
I'd
like
to
join
the
city
staff
in
asking
you
consider
approving
this
proposal,
it
is
the
result
of
extensive
amount
of
work.
As
the
two
members
of
the
subcommittee
and
the
council
itself
all
know,
we
worked
very
hard
to
arrive
at
the
best
estimate
we
can
I
should
emphasize.
It
is
an
estimate
we
do
acknowledge
the
council
last
that
the
WB
revisited
as
some
other
sort
of
architectural
feature
and
I
can
promise
you.
C
That
will
be
the
case
that
will
direct
the
final
design
to
be
something
other
than
the
Big
W.
The
other
question
to
ask
is
whether
or
not
you
still
want
colored
glass
in
the
elevator,
but
those
details
aside.
This
is
a
very
carefully
negotiated
end
result
and
we
hope
that
the
council
will
have
proven
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
Good.
A
D
I'd,
like
the
discussion
about,
should
the
money
come
from,
the
general
fund
reserve
or
the
city
over
fund
and
I
am
putting
my
two
cents
worth
in
to
not
use
the
city.
Art
fund,
the
city,
that
my
mind
is
winch.
The
culture
and
arts
commission
was
not
privy
to
any
of
this
planning
and
they
already
have
plans
for
this
money.
It's
their
budgeted
and
I
think
would
be
unfair
and
to
take
away
their
money
without
any
consultation
to.
E
Come
to
us
for
final
approval,
but
they
they
certainly
give
us
good
recommendations.
They
weren't
privy
to
this
and
weren't
involved
in
this
discussion
or
dialogue
and
I.
Think
that
that's
in
that
aspect
that
doesn't
seem
fair.
They
should
have
been
born
on
board
in
the
beginning,
but
but
again,
I
just
wanted
to
kind
of
cool
it
clear
by
the
one
point
in
this
moment:
okay.
F
Michael
Mike,
my
comments,
I
guess,
are
along
the
funding
as
well.
I
know
that
there's
a
lot
of
public
support
and
really
strong
support
on
the
council
for
this
project
and
I
know
that
there's
been
a
lot
of
iterations
on
this
to
even
appease
those
of
us
that
were
unhappy
with
the
original
design,
but
it
is
a
large
amount
of
money
and
whether
it's
one
time
pockets
of
money
that
we're
targeting
for
funding
this
or
just
general
fund
funds
in
general.
F
You
know,
I
have
to
I,
have
to
think
about
other
projects
that
could
potentially
be
funded
by
that
money
and
yeah
and
I
know.
We
don't
want
to
target
just
11
pocket
of
money,
because
I
know
that
the
Arts
Fund
does
it.
They
do
at
that
fund
a
lot
of
different
projects
around
the
city,
not
just
one
project,
so
I,
don't
know
that
it
would
be
fair
to
definitely
take
all
the
money
from
there.
F
But
I
do
like
the
idea
of
looking
at
funds
that
wouldn't
necessarily
be
available
for
other
projects,
and
if
we
talk
about
you
know
the
the
excess
money,
that's
in
the
general
fund,
that
money
could
go
to
pay
a
street
or
to
accelerate
a
sewer
project
or
do
some
abatement
work
along
that
that
same
street.
That
would
help
to
beautify
and
better
represent
the
city.
So
I
mean
I.
Think
I
have
a
little
bit
of
problem
with
the
funding.
F
It
is
a
lot
of
money
and
I
think
when
we
initially
talked
about
this,
the
for
the
figure
was
a
lot
smaller.
We're
definitely
getting
a
quality
quality
project,
but
at
the
same
time
I
don't
think
anyone
anticipated
that
it
would
cost.
But
what
it's?
What
it's
going
to
cost
I
you
know
I,
acknowledge
that
the
JPB
was
very
generous
and
accepting
half
of
the
cost
and
a
lot
of
people
have
been
making
concessions
along
the
way,
but
remains
to
be
a
very
large
amount
of
money
and
I'm
wondering.
F
Maybe
we
can
go
back
and
look
at
other
other
sources
back
when
the
lions
field
project
came
up,
I
mean
that
was
another
very
large
dollar
item
and
we
were
able
to
use
the
park
and
LU
funds
there,
and
in
that
case,
that
money
had
to
be
used
for
something
Park
related
that
couldn't
do
anything
else
with
it.
So
I
was
a
lot
more
comfortable
with
dedicating
that
large
amount
of
money
to
that
project.
F
G
Thank
you.
Miss
me,
yeah
I
can
appreciate
the
concerns.
The
funding
of
Clara
started
her
presentation,
saying
that
this
project
was
ten
years
old
and
mayor
and
I
have
overseen
this
project
from
conversation
to
now,
renderings
and
in
a
near
past,
halfway
construction
of
a
great
separation
with,
with
the
first
and
foremost
priority
of
safe
safety
in
our
community.
G
This
is
just
icing
and
yes,
I
know
that
the
city
has
spent
some
money.
The
community
has
spent
some
money
in
over
these
ten
years,
but
I
have
to
say
and
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong.
This
is
by
far
the
largest
expenditure
for
this
project.
For
this
multi-million
dollar
project
that
caltrain
and
jpv
is
is
bringing
bringing
to
our
community.
G
I
think
this
community
deserves
this
after
10
years
or
more
of
designing
it
and
and
being
a
part
of
it
and
I
do
agree
that
we
could
find
you
know
the
right
appropriate
funds,
reserve,
reserve
funds
or
whatever
appropriate
funds,
to
find
find
the
balance,
but
I
think
we
need
to
move.
You
know
we
need
to
move
forward
the
trains,
bro
trains,
rolling,
Rico.
H
Robert
Rico
of
seventh
Avenue
I'm
concerned
a
little
bit
about
taking
general
fund
money,
but
looking
up
the
bigger
picture
or
outside
the
box,
or
whatever
downstream
the
the
agency
that
we
have
set
up
to
replace
redevelopment
to
utilize.
The
the
PG&E
money
pge,
the
millions
of
dollars
were
to
serve
support
all
of
the
people
of
San
Bruno,
and
one
would
think
that
possibly
a
small
portion
of
that
could
could
be
appropriated
as
a
backfill
for,
if
you
temporarily,
borrow
from
from
one
fund
or
whatever.
H
E
The
chair,
yeah,
the
cost,
is
a
concern
to
me
how
we
pay
for
it
is
of
concern.
I
have
no
problem
with
the
first
suggestion
when
we
come
into
the
general
reserve
funds.
Those
deals
to
concern
me
I,
understand
councilmember,
salazars
comments
this
weekend,
I
walked
the
avenues
on
the
east
side.
The
west
side
of
the
tracks
walked
to
the
arch
where
it
would
be
drove
the
car
tonight
coming
to
the
meeting
and
was
trying
to
understand.
E
Visualize
I
have
concerns
too,
because
I
look
at
that
kind
of
investment,
I'm
looking
at
the
roads,
I'm
looking
at
the
500
block
of
4th
Avenue
that
this
poor
gentleman
has
been
emailing
and
asking
us
for
years
to
pave
it
there's
other
areas
I
can
point
out,
and
yes,
I
was
over
on
Susan
drive
and
and
so
they're
everywhere
that
I
wonder
if
these
monies
could
be
used
to
help
other
areas
in
our
community,
but
then
there's
another
side
of
me.
That
also
sees
this
as
a
one-time
opportunity.
E
A
matching
contributor
at
this
time,
which
honestly
I,
don't
know
that
if
we
pass
this
up,
will
it
be
around
as
we
go
down
this
path
again.
If
we
revisited
in
a
few
years
from
now,
I
also
know
that
that
area
that
community
those
neighborhoods
through
the
bart
construction
through
the
grade
separation
have
dealt
with
a
lot,
and
we
are
also
supposed
to
be
leading
by
example,
as
we
did
with
the
dirt
lot
of
Wells
Fargo,
that
used
to
be
chain-link
fence
and
I
was
always
saying.
E
We've
got
a
lead
by
example:
we've
got
to
clean
up
our
area
in
order
to
ask
others
to
do
the
same
and
invest
in
the
community.
We
call
home.
This
is
an
area
that
do
we
want
it
just
to
be
like
in
San
crows,
where
it's
just
an
overpass,
or
do
we
want
to
have
some
signature
on
it
in
hopes
that
that
helps
evolve.
E
Other
type
of
things
that
when
you
drive
past
the
arch
that
maybe
there
aren't
vacant
properties
that
may
be
there
are
people
that
want
to
invest
and
see
the
opportunity
for
the
future.
So
I'd
like
to
see
what
we
can
do
about
the
funding,
but
I
also
do
believe
that
this
may
be
the
only
opportunity
to
take
this
opportunity
for
us
and
to
have
something
there
for
the
future
and,
honestly,
those
folks
down
there.
D
A
Good
ten
years
ago,
it
started
longer
than
that
all
farther
back
than
that
when,
when
Sam
Brenner
actually
solicited
the
gentlemen,
mr.
Howard
good
and
said
by
the
way
we
want
to
get
on
board
with
you
to
make
this
town
a
lot
safer,
because
we
for
some
reason,
had
some
some
grief
with
with
caltrain
over
the
years
and
that
started
the
process.
A
This
great
separation,
along
with
the
arch,
is
making
a
statement
that
this
is
an
anchor
for
our
downtown.
This
is
an
anchor
for
a
large
portion
of
a
city
that,
in
fact,
with
our
our
new
planning
process
or
new
specific
plan
and
all
of
the
stuff
that
we're
planning
on
from
El
Camino
to
san
mateo
Avenue,
to
theaters
to
all
different
kinds
of
things.
A
This
will
be
an
anchor
and
it
will
be
an
anchor
shortly,
not
one
that's
a
pipe
dream
on
a
piece
of
paper,
but
something
people
can
go
up
and
touch
and
feel
I
do
agree
that
sure
we
can
always
spend
the
money
on
something
else.
I
mean
there's
a
there's,
a
huge
bucket
of
things
that
need
to
be
done
in
this
city
and
we'll
never
have
enough
money
to
do
it
all.
A
But
I
think
we
have
to
prioritize
some
of
these
things
and
say,
since
we
do
have
the
money
to
take
care
of
it
and
I
am
in
favor
of
taking
it
from
other
other
sources
of
sources
other
than
the
culture
and
arts,
because
they
worked
too
hard
for
that
and
that
that
money
should
should
go
for
maybe
some
more
specific
projects
that
they
designate
and
we
approve
but
I'm
all
for
it.
I
know
it's
like
I
said
it's
tough,
you
can.
A
You
can
spend
six
hundred
thousand
bucks
in
a
wink
in
this
city
without
even
thinking
about
it
and
not
see
the
results
but
I
think
with
this
money
here
and
the
approval
of
this
arch
we're
going
to
see
the
results,
we're
going
to
see
them
very
shortly
and
boy
I
sure
look
forward
to
us,
cutting
that
ribbon
under
that
arch
pretty
soon
so
I
think
you
know
I
feel
about
it.
Anyone
else
they're
asking
for
a
resolution
well.
F
A
D
I
Would
like
to
just
call
to
the
council's
attention
that
there
will
need
to
be
a
small
correction
to
the
resolution
that
you
have
just
adopted
to
clarify
that
there
will
be
no
use
of
the
culture
and
arts
funds
which
I
understand
to
be
the
direction
of
the
City
Council,
based
on
your
discussion
tonight.
Okay,
just
to
clarify
and
add
to
just
add
a
quick
comment
to
your
comments
that
the
council
mate.
I
There
are
no
restricted
funds
that
are
otherwise
available
to
the
city
and
the
reason
that
staff
proposed
the
funding
source
that
we
did
is
we
thought
it
was
the
best
available
match
of
one-time
funds
that
are
not
otherwise
designated.
So
that
is,
we
will
clarify
the
resolution
as
to
your
action
and
utilize.
The
revenues
as
outlined
in
the
staff
report,
good
good,
think
in.
C
Has
what
I
walked
by
Robert
Reich
illicit
tomorrow,
we're
actually
prepared
to
begin
building
the
foundation
for
this
almost
immediately,
because
it
is
on
a
critical
path
for
the
construction
of
the
whole
grade
separation
that
is
right
outside
with
the
area
or
the
footings
will
be
there's
some
underground
work.
We're
actually
prepared
to
begin
literally
tomorrow.
C
What
you'll
see
is
probably
going
to
be
a
few
months
away.
We
still
have
to
get
final
design
beyond
the
concept
we
have
to
get
some
real
construction
costs.
I
mean
this
is
an
estimate
that
we
had,
but
we
can
certainly
report
back.
We'll
continue,
of
course,
to
work
very
closely
with
the
city
staff
to
report
all
along
the
way,
not
only
if
their
insistence,
but
also
out
of
our
desire,
so
we'll
come
back
and
report
on
the
progress
that
we're
making.
Okay.
