Description
City of San Bruno's Town Hall Meeting
January 23, 2013
Whole meeting trt 1:25:21
A
Alright,
thank
you
good
evening
and
welcome
once
again,
it's
been
just
over
twenty
eight
months
since
the
explosion
and
fire
we
have
all
been
through
quite
a
bit
as
a
neighborhood,
the
difficulty
in
rebuilding
lives
and
spirits
and
the
realization
that
everything
will
never
be
the
same
again,
but
there's
also
the
joy
associated
with
the
rebuild
in
seeing
beautiful
new
homes
and
the
smiles
and
the
warmth
they
have
blessed
us
all
with.
As
a
city,
we
have
immersed
ourselves
in
the
unknown
territory
of
national
state
and
local
dialogue,
debate
and
deliberation.
A
We
have
tried
so
very
hard
very
hard
to
represent
you
in
the
manner
you
rightfully
deserve
and
are
committed
to
continue
that
representation
as
a
and
as
the
community
that
we
are,
the
San
Bruno
family
I
want
you
to
recall
that
first
saturday
afternoon,
at
st.
Roberts
church,
less
than
48
hours
after
the
explosion
and
fire
I
told
you,
then
that
we
didn't
have
all
the
answers,
but
we
would
get
them
and
that
we
would
stand
side-by-side
with
you
through
this
ordeal.
A
Our
resolve
couldn't
be
stronger
to
continue
that
commitment
and
now
for
this
evenings
community
meeting
I
want
to
first
address
because
I
think
it
might
come
up,
then
not
for
profit.
We
will
only
briefly
be
discussing
the
restitution
fund
this
evening.
A
separate
direct
discussion
on
the
formation
of
the
not-for-profit
will
occur.
Tuesday
februari
5th
right
here
at
the
Senior
Center.
A
A
Councilmember
Medina
and
councilmember
ibera.
Thank
you
very
much.
Our
presentation
this
evening
is
scheduled
to
last
about
40
to
45
minutes.
I
will
now
introduce
our
city
manager,
Connie
Jackson
and
our
consultant
Harry
burrows,
who
will
be
addressing
you
on
the
five
following
topics:
the
city
of
San,
Bruno's,
community
restitution
fund,
the
neighborhood,
rebuilding
efforts,
the
infrastructure,
reconstruct
reconstruction,
update
the
status
of
pge
projects
within
the
community
and
the
entire
city
and
the
city,
involvement
in
the
California
Public
Utilities
Commission,
the
CPUC
proceedings,
and,
as
always,
we
seek
comments
from
the
community.
A
So
just
as
we
did
the
last
number
of
times
comment
cards
are
available.
Just
put
your
hand
up
to
bring
you
a
pen
and
a
comment
card
and
staff
will
be
by
to
pick
them
up
for
those
unable
to
attend
this
evening.
The
meeting
is
being
recorded
and
will
air
on
channel
one.
During
the
upcoming
weeks,
we
will
also
be
available
on
the
city
website.
So
to
get
this
going,
I
would
like
to
introduce
city
manager,
Connie
Jackson,.
B
Thank
you
very
much,
we're
very
pleased
to
have
so
many
people
here
tonight.
We
we
realize
that
it's
dark
and
it's
cold
and
it's
rainy
outside.
So
we
appreciate
you
coming
out
so
that
we
can
address
some
of
the
important
topics
that
we've
been
hearing
about
over
the
last
weeks
and
months.
As
a
mayor
said,
it's
our
intent
tonight
to
address
as
many
and
all
hopefully
of
the
questions
and
issues
that
might
be.
On
your
mind,
we're
going
to
we've
tried
to
prepare
based
on
the
infant
we've.
B
We
have
prepared,
based
on
the
information
that
we
have
heard
being
discussed
within
the
community,
and
so
our
presentation
tonight
we'll
cover
those
topics
in
the
hope
of
covering
issues
and
topics
that
you
are
perhaps
most
concerned
about.
But
it
is
in
no
way
our
intent
to
limit
the
issues
that
you
may
want
to
bring
to
our
attention
and,
as
mayor
said,
we
will
get
you
the
answers.
We
will
do
what
we
need
to
do
in
order
to
address
them.
If
we're
not
able
to
do
that
tonight.
B
First
topic
that
I
wanted
to
make
some
comments
about,
is
having
to
do
with
money
as
I
think
everybody
is
aware.
The
city
has
successfully
negotiated
with
PG&E
in
two
areas
to
achieve
a
substantial
sum
of
funds
to
do
two
different
things
within
the
community
for
the
graphic
on
the
sly
on
the
screen
here,
attempts
to
distinguish
and
to
clarify
what
those
monies
are
for,
how
much
they
are
and
how
they're
being
used.
The
first
is
what
we're
calling
the
crest
more
trust
fund.
B
All
of
these
costs
are
beyond
those
that
would
normally
be
the
expectation
of
the
city's
normal
operations
and
normally
budgeted.
At
the
current
time,
we
have
approximately
five
million
dollars
in
outstanding
costs,
including
a
substantial
amount
of
staff
time
that
has
not
yet
been
recovered
from
the
trust
fund,
approximately
a
total
of
five
million
dollars
pending
a
reimbursement
request
that
will
be
submitted
to
the
trustee
who
is
responsible
for
disbursement
of
the
funds
within
the
next
30
days.
B
The
next
topic
and
I
think
this
is
one
sumera
alluded
to
that.
We
know
the
residents
of
the
community
and
of
your
neighborhood
are
particularly
interested
in,
and
that
is
the
restitution
fund
that
the
city
negotiated
with
pge
approximately
10
months
ago.
Again
the
city
initiated
and
worked
aggressively
to
make
sure
that
funds
were
available
to
address
the
damage
that
has
occurred
to
this
community
community-wide
beyond
the
neighborhood
beyond
the
physical
damage
that
has
occurred,
and
that
goes
to
the
sense
of
security,
the
sense
of
identity
and
the
well-being
of
the
San
Bruno
community.
B
Overall,
the
amount
that
was
negotiated
was
six
points,
68.75
million
dollars
in
cash
and
five
of
the
vacant.
Now
vacant
lots
which
have
been
deeded
to
the
city.
The
restitution
funds
in
the
amount
of
68.75
million
dollars
have
been
received
by
the
city
and
they've,
been
deposited
to
a
for
safekeeping
to
an
account
where
they're
invested
in
us
treasuries
in
order
to
protect
the
principal
amount
of
those
funds
until
that
amount
of
money
can
be
turned
over
to
a
not-for-profit
entity
which
the
settlement
agreement
requires.
B
The
city
council
to
establish
that
not-for-profit
entity
is
intended
specifically
to
be
separate
from
the
city
of
San
Bruno
and
managed
independently,
in
order
that
the
funds
are
are
managed
and
distributed.
Dispersed
used
for
the
benefit
of
the
community
as
a
whole
and
for
the
purposes
that
are
that
were
the
subject
of
the
negotiations.
B
Again,
the
agreement
specifically
calls
for
those
funds
to
be
managed
and
put
into
the
hands
of
a
not-for-profit
entity.
That
entity
has
not
yet
been
set
up
and
is
in
process
through
the
decision-making
of
the
City
Council.
As
a
mirror
indicated,
there
will
be
a
meeting
on
februari
5th,
at
which
time
the
City
Council
will
conduct
a
study
session
to
discuss
issues
related
to
the
formation
of
that
not-for-profit.
B
At
this
point,
I
expect
that
that
will
occur
sometime
this
summer
in
the
july
to
august
time
period.
The
city
council
has
very
specifically
identified
as
part
of
their
preliminary
consideration,
of
setting
up
this,
not-for-profit
that
public
participation,
extensive
outreach
and
an
opportunity
for
engagement
by
anybody
and
everybody
within
the
community
who
has
an
interest,
is
the
high
priority
for
the
work
effort
that
this
not-for-profit
will
undertake
again.
The
city
as
a
entity
itself
does
not
troll
and
will
not
control
the
funds.
B
There
was
a
very
specific
discussion
at
the
negotiations
where
the
not-for-profit
was
intended
to
specifically
make
sure
that
the
funds
are
not
commingled
with
other
City
operating
funds
or
used
for
purposes
that
might
be
considered
normal
governmental
activities.
Five
lots
were
also
part
of
that
settlement.
I'm
going
to
ask
Harry
Burroughs
to
address
the
lots
more
specifically
in
his
comments.
B
I
know
from
conversations
with
some
of
you
that
the
this
is
an
important
topic
and
I
can
assure
you
as
well
that
the
City
Council
is
moving
forward
quickly
to
make
sure
that
we
have
a
broad-based
discussion
and
address
the
various
interests
that
may
be
relevant
to
the
use
of
those
Lots,
the
potential
sale
or
transfer
of
those
Lots.
And,
ultimately,
we
hope
the
development
of
at
least
several
of
those
slots.
B
The
city's
interest
in
acquiring
the
Lots
through
the
negotiations
and
again
draw
back
in
memory
to
approximately
a
year
ago,
where
p
Jeannie's
activity
in
the
neighborhood
and
and
the
the
decision-making
about
what
people
were
intending
to
do
with
their
properties
was
still
at
a
at
a
much
earlier
stage
than
it
is
now.
City
was
interested
in
making
sure
that
there
was
a
thoughtful
consideration
of
how
lots
that
are
not
being
developed
by
their
owners
are
handled
in
order
to
make
sure
that
the
neighborhood
is
is
rebuilt
in
the
manner
that
you
wanted
rebuild.
B
And,
secondly,
we
believe
that
there
may
be-
and
we
believed
at
that
time-
that
there
may
be
an
opportunity
to
consider
some
public
purpose
from
one
or
more
of
those
Lots
and,
as
Harry
will
point
out
to
you.
We
think
that
is
still
the
case
with
at
least
one
and
maybe
a
couple
of
the
lots
that
are
in
city
ownership.
As
to
the
value
of
those
wats,
the
assigned
value
was
250
thousand
dollars
per
lot.
Those
Lots
have
been
deeded
to
ownership
by
the
city
of
San
Bruno.
B
There
has
been
no
profit
or
value
received
monetary
value
received
on
those
Lots.
However,
it
is
our
expectation
that
if
one
or
more
of
those
Lots
is
sold-
and
there
is
a
monetary
value
derived
from
those
Lots-
that
that
those
monies
would
become
the
property
of
the
not-for-profit
entity
and
would
increase
the
the
value
of
the
settlement-
funds
that
are
subject
to
the
not-for-profits
decision-making.
C
Thank
You
Connie
for
those
of
you
that
don't
know
me:
I'm,
Harry,
burrows
and
I'm
the
city's
project
manager
for
the
rebuilding
of
the
crestmore
neighborhood,
as
some
of
you
that
do
know
me
know
that
I
can
talk
about
infrastructure
for
a
long
time,
I'm
going
to
try
not
to
bore
you
a
lot
here
this
evening,
so
I'm
going
to
try
to
go
through
the
topics
and
hit
the
highlights,
but,
as
Connie
said,
feels.
Please
feel
free
to
ask
questions
at
the
end
of
the
discussion.
C
So
jumping
right
in
I
thought
I'd
give
a
brief
update
on
the
rebuilding
status
in
the
neighborhood
I
know.
Some
of
you
have
seen
this
exhibit.
That
was
posted
in
the
back
of
the
room
here
before
the
meeting.
A
quick
summary
of
the
38
homes
that
were
destroyed,
14
have
been
rebuilt
and
a
reoccupied
seven
of
them
are
either
have
the
building
permits
issued
our
in
construction
or
have
permits
that
are
pending,
and
that
leaves
16
in
the
to
be
determined
category
and
of
those
16.
C
So
in
in
terms
of
the
Lots,
as
Connie
indicated,
we
know
that
there's
been
a
great
deal
of
interest
and
concern
over
the
timing.
The
rebuilding
of
the
Lots
one
of
the
major
things
that
I've
heard
a
lot
of
you
say
share
with
us
is
we
understand
that
you're
going
to
be
tearing
up
our
neighborhood,
for
you
know
another
year
and
a
half
or
so
with
the
infrastructure.
When
that's
done,
we'd
like
to
see
those
Lots
built,
we
don't
want
to
wait
another
year
or
two
afterwards
to
have
those
Lots
built.
C
The
other
thing
is,
as
Connie
indicated
and
I'll
get
into
a
little
bit
later
in
the
discussion,
particularly
in
this
intersection
here
at
glenview
and
Earl.
Part
of
what
we're
planning
is
some
streetscape
and
traffic
calming
improvements
and
the
design
of
those
potentially
have
some
impacts
on
the
adjacent
lots.
We
think
we've
got.
Our
engineer
has
a
design
now
that'll
work,
that'll
minimize
the
impacts
to
those
Lots.
So
it's
not
a
question
now
of
whether
we're
going
to
need
those
Lots
to
accommodate
these
potential
streetscape
improvements
or
not.
We
have
that
answer.
C
So
we
have
developed
some
some
options
that
we
will
be
taken
to
the
City
Council
for
their
consideration
in
terms
of
the
disposition
of
the
Lots.
Both
the
city-
lots
as
well.
As
you
know,
p
Jeannie's
lots,
pge
has
stated
and
and
they've
acted
on
this
or
not
acted
on
this,
as
the
case
may
be
that
they're
not
going
to
do
anything
with
their
Lots
they're,
going
to
wait
and
take
the
direction
from
the
city
and
that
that's
at
the
city's
request.
So,
like
I,
said,
we'll
be
presenting
some
options
to
the
council
in
February.
C
And
sort
of
a
segue
off
of
that
is
kind
of
looted
to
there's
been
some
discussion
about
the
potential
for
some
of
the
Lots
being
used
for
public
purpose
and
in
particular,
what
we're
referring
to
is.
The
City
Council
has
from
day
one
committed
to
rebuilding
the
glenview
Earl
park.
That
used
to
be
you
know
here
at
the
top
of
the
canyon.
C
Obviously
there's
an
opportunity
now
with
city-owned
lot
here
and
the
potential
for
maybe
some
of
the
privately-owned
lots
adjacent
to
it
that
are
not
going
to
rebuild
to
be
part
of
that
future
public
space.
So
that
process
we're
now
at
a
point
where
we
can
proceed
with
what
we're
calling
Park
visioning
the
park.
Visioning
process,
we
will
be
bringing
in
an
outside
consultant
as
a
facilitator,
to
help
with
a
collaborative
discussion
with
the
neighborhood
we're
anticipating
that
that
process
will
start
as
early
as
the
third
week
of
februari.
C
We've
got
some
tentative
dates
that
we've
discussed
you'll
see
a
notice
coming
out
and
we
hopefully
will
get
a
lot
of
participation
from
the
neighborhood
as
part
of
the
park
visioning,
and
we
know
there's
many
different
thoughts
out.
There
part
of
this
process
is
to
help
define
and
refine
that
vision
for
the
park,
and
then
the
last
aspect
of
the
park
is
I.
C
Think
we'd
previously
discussed
in
some
of
our
meetings,
the
replanting
of
the
canyon,
and
we
had
a
project
ready
to
go
out
to
bid
here
about
a
month
and
a
half
ago
for
several
different
reasons.
We
put
that
project
on
hold
one
of
it,
which
is
the
recent
project
that
we
did
with
the
infrastructure.
We
replaced
a
storm
drain
down
the
canyon,
so
so
that
we
had
to
have
that
project
finished
before
we
could
get
in
there
and
do
the
replanting.
C
C
C
Two
construction,
which
is
this
area
here,
and
that
was
the
replacement
of
all
of
the
utilities,
underground
utilities
within
the
fire
damaged
area,
and
that's
been
a
project
that
we
understand
has
been
very
disruptive
to
the
community,
created
a
lot
of
dust
noise
and
some
other
issues
that
the
project
on
the
plus
side
did
replace
the
water
lines.
We
have
new
upsized
water
lines,
new
sewer
lines,
new
sewer,
laterals
to
the
homes
and
new
water
services.
C
The
paving
of
the
roads,
I
know,
is
a
question
that
has
come
up.
The
the
intent
of
that
project
was
never
to
repave
the
roads
as
part
of
the
utility
replacement.
It
was
to
do
the
patch
paving
and
wait
and
do
the
overall
paving
of
all
the
streets
at
the
very
end
of
the
project
when
we
finish
the
future
phases
of
utility
construction,
we
acknowledge
that
we
may
need
to
revisit
that
plan
and
we're
having
discussions.
C
So
the
next
project
is
what
we're
calling
our
phase
3
project,
we're
ready
to
go
out
to
bid
with
that.
We
anticipate
advertising
februari
8th,
we're
going
to
open
bids
in
March
and
take
it
the
bids
to
the
City
Council
for
award
in
late
March
with
construction
start
mid-april,
coinciding
with
the
end
of
the
rainy
season.
It's
a
very
expensive
project.
It
involves
the
utility
replacement
in
the
remainder
of
the
neighborhood,
so
again
sewer
lines,
water
lines,
sewer
laterals
to
to
the
homes,
cleanouts
water
services,
as
well
as
some
storm
drainage.
C
It
is
a
big
project.
We
anticipate
that
construction
be
completed
November,
so
it's
going
to
be
in
april
to
november
construction
time
frame.
We
obviously
again
recognize
the
the
disruption
that
it
is
going
to
have
to
the
neighborhood.
We
have
learned
some
lessons
from
the
phase
2
project.
Where,
hopefully,
will
you
know
resolve
some
of
the
issues
and
problems
that
we
had
in
this
project?
C
Unfortunately,
we
do
have
to
go
through
a
public
bid
process.
We
don't
have
the
luxury
of
just
going
out
and
selecting
a
contractor
we're
bound
by
the
public
contract
code.
But
having
said
that,
there's
certain
things
that
we
can
do
and
have
done
within
our
contract
documents
and
specifications
to
ensure
that
some
of
the
issues
that
we
had
will
not
happen
or
if
they
do
will
be
much
less
or
in
intensity
in
this
project.
C
You
know
some
of
those
are
things
like
the
additional
requirements
for
street
sweeping
and
we're
not
using
native
materials,
so
when
I
could
have
a
lot
of
dirt
taken
out
of
the
trench
and
put
on
the
street
that
created
a
lot
of
the
dust
issue.
So
you
know
those
those
sort
of
issues
were
dealing
with.
C
The
other
aspect
is
the
phasing
of
the
work
we're
going
to
hold
the
contractor
to
some
pretty
tight
phasing
of
the
work
contractor
normally
what
he
would
want
to
do
on
a
project
like
this
is
he
has
a
sewer
crew,
he'd
like
to
go
through
the
whole
neighborhood
and
do
all
the
sewers
at
once
come
behind
and
do
the
water
lines
and
then
the
storm
drain?
What
we're
going
to
make
him
do
is
we're
going
to
segregate
out
in
two
phases
and
only
disrupt
a
smaller
portion
of
the
neighborhood.
C
At
once,
that
will
hopefully
accomplish
a
couple
different
things:
one
it'll
void
the
whole
neighborhood
being
torn
up.
It'll
also,
you
know,
keep
access
through
the
neighborhood
at
all
times,
so,
for
example,
in
this
red
phase
up
here,
if
that's
under
construction
traffic
will
still
be
able
to
move
through
glenview
and
Earl
and
and
Claremont
fairly
easily
through
the
neighborhood,
and
that
was
the
thinking
behind
each
of
these
phases
is
for
each
one
will
be
able
to
control
the
contractors
activities
a
little
bit
better.
C
The
next
phase
is
what
we
call
the
surface
improvements,
and
this
is
essentially
everything
above
ground
that
you
can
see
that
will
include
sidewalk
replacement,
repaving
of
the
streets
street
light
replacement
and
the
streetscape
and
traffic
calming
and
I
know.
So.
Some
of
those
are
shown
here
in
the
back
of
the
room
and
I'll
get
get
to
that
reef
leader
in
a
second.
C
So,
instead
of
the
standard
street
lights,
that
you'll
have
the
poles
with
the
arms
that
reach
out
these
are
the
shorter
decorative
ones.
We
wanted
to
explore
that
from
both
an
ecstatic
viewpoint,
as
well
as
a
lighting
standpoint
with
within
the
neighborhood,
so
those
that
pilot
program
will
beget
constructed,
we
can
walk
it.
Everyone
can
walk
it.
You
can
drive
it.
You
can
give
us
feedback
on
what
you
think.
We're
really
interested
in
what
the
community
would
like
to
see
out
there.
C
The
schedule
for
the
surface
improvements
the
the
project,
the
repaving
project,
which
again
include
some
of
these
streetscape
enhancements
that
I'll
get
to
in
a
second
we'd
like
to
put
that
into
construction.
If
we
can
dub
tale
it
immediately
at
the
end
of
the
phase
3
project
great,
if
not
it'll
fall
into
the
first
quarter
of
2014
and
hopefully,
by
late
summer
of
2014,
we'll
have
that
work
completed.
C
So
let
me
talk
real
briefly
about
the
intersection
improvements
and
the
streetscape
improvements
again.
The
purpose
of
these
is
both
aesthetic
as
well
as
traffic
calming
and
traffic
calming
is
really
just
a
fancy.
Engineering
planning
word,
for
you
know
helping
to
control
the
speed
of
traffic
through
the
neighborhood.
C
We've
had
several
meetings
with
some
of
the
directly
affected
residents,
where
these
improvements
are
proposed
and
gotten
some
good
feedback.
The
next
step
and
our
intent
is
to
hold
block-by-block
meetings
with
residents
so
that
we
can
get
feedback
from
from
each.
You
know
specific
area.
We
know
that
some
people
feedback
we've
gotten
to
some
people
like
these
improvements.
Others
have
some
some
big
concerns
and
we
want
to
hear
those
concerns.
We
nothing
has
been
decided.
These
are
just
ideas.
We
initially
had
concentrated
on
the
Glen
View
corridor.
C
With
these
traffic
calming
and
streetscape
improvements,
we
thought
we
had
the
opportunity
to
spread
that,
through
the
rest
of
the
neighborhood,
take
a
look
at
the
remaining
intersections.
If
there's
things
we
can
do
like
enhance,
paving
and
and
some
additional
landscaping
and
some
of
these
curveball
bouts
great
again,
nothing
has
been
decided.
We
want
feedback
on
this
in
in
terms
of
speeding.
I've
mentioned
it
a
couple
times
here.
C
C
Some
of
the
steps
that
we're
taking
in
the
immediate
future
include
we
have
just
ordered
and
Ron
will
be
very
happy
to
hear
this-
that
we
will
be
installing,
within
the
next
week
by
city
crews,
to
radar
speed
indicators
on
Glen,
View
Drive.
Those
are
the
signs
that
go
right
below
the
speed
limit
signs
at
flash
your
speed,
so
it
gives
feedback
there
pretty
effective
in
both
educating
folks
on
how
fast
are
driving
and
actually
slowing
people
down.
So
those
will
get
installed
here
shortly.
They
are
portable.
C
C
We're
going
to
be
installing
additional
speed
limit
signs
before
you
know
as
part
of
this
work
before
any
of
the
the
ultimate
improvements
are
done
just
again
as
a
reminder
to
everyone
with
the
speed
limit
is
in
the
neighborhood
and
then
lastly,
we
have
the
police
department
has
a
community
service
officer
who
has
been
assigned
in
the
neighborhood
for
a
portion
of
his
weekly
time.
Some
of
you
may
have
seen
the
CSO
up
in
the
neighborhood
I
know
I
have,
hopefully
that
will
be
a
deterrent
to
the
speeding
as
well.
C
So
that
that's
it
for
the
overview
for
the
infrastructure,
improvements
wanted
to
touch
base
real
quick
on
the
pge
line,
132
status,
that
that
question
has
come
up
in
some
of
my
discussions
with
with
the
public
in
the
past
several
months.
In
particular,
a
question
has
occurred.
What
is
the
status
of
the
filling
of
the
pipe?
So
a
portion
of
the
pipe
line
132
has
been
filled.
The
portion
here
in
orange
and
the
portion
in
blue
and
the
blue
portion
is
the
old
1948
pipe
that
was
buried.
Real
deep.
C
Those
two
sections
have
been
filled
with
the
cement.
Slurry.
The
remaining
sections
in
yellow
have
not
been
filled
yet
so,
based
upon
concerns
from
the
City
Council,
as
well
as
the
residents
p
jeanne
was
asked
to
test
the
pipe
test.
The
met
lurgi
of
the
pipe,
as
well
as
any
residual
materials
that
are
inside
the
pipe
for
the
portions
that
have
been
filled.
Those
tests
came
back
negative.
They
were
filled
the
remaining
portions
of
the
pipe.
C
The
tests
have
also
come
back
negative,
but
it
gets
into
a
little
bit
of
a
complication
that
I
don't
want
to
go
into
too
much
detail,
but
it
it's
testing
protocol
and
they
literally
go
into
pipe
and
they
scrape
off
the
residue,
and
then
they
test
that
residue
that
has
come
back
negative.
The
protocol
says
that
they
need
to
then
take
that
material
and
put
it
in
liquid
and
do
some
additional
tests
to
essentially
verify
the
first
test.
C
Pge
is
in
discussions
with
not
only
the
State
Department
of
Toxic
control
substances,
but
also
with
some
independent
third-party
testing
labs,
because
this
this
is
going
to
set
a
precedent
for
how
pipelines
are
abandoned.
So
we
don't
have
an
answer
back
yet
specifically
on
the
timing
of
when
the
remaining
portions
will
be
filled,
but
it
is
being
worked
on
and
it
will
be
filled.
C
The
the
second
aspect
of
that
is
the
testing
of
the
soils
around
the
pipe
so
on
this
map.
Here
the
red
dots
indicate
locations
where
soil
tests
were
taken.
In
november
of
last
year,
they
were
sent
off
to
an
independent
lab.
The
lab
is
still
testing
them.
I
did
hear
from
PG&E
actually
today
in
advance
of
this
meeting,
that
they
pushed
the
lab
at
our
request
at
least
get
some
information
that
we
could
share
with
you
today.
The
test
results
that
they've
done
so
far
are
negative.
C
There
has
been
some
concern
that
was
raised
by
residents
as
to
the
amount
of
dust
in
the
neighborhood,
particularly
during
the
last
summer,
and
fall
when
it
was
dry,
and
the
question
that
came
up
was
is
any
of
the
dust
in
the
air
coming
off
the
vacant.
Lots.
Can
we
retest?
What's
on
those
vacant
lots
and
just
verify
that
there's
nothing
in
those
soils
that
are
hazardous.
C
The
City
Council
approved
a
contract
with
the
firm
to
do
that
in
the
I
believe
it
was
in
november
october.
Actually
we
have
not
done
that
yet
because
it
started
raining
and
there's
no
dust
in
the
air.
So
we're
going
to
wait
until
the
it
gets
dry
again
so
that
we
can
go
out
there
and
do
that
testing.
But
but
the
consultant
is
standing
by
and
ready
to
perform
that
work.
C
Pg&Amp;E
is
undergoing
a
undertaking.
A
huge
reliability
upgrade
within
all
of
their
system.
They're,
focusing
right
now
on
the
peninsula
and
part
of
the
reliability
upgrade
involves
the
replacement
of
switches,
connectors
poles
and
remote
sensing
and
monitoring
equipment
and
substation
modernization.
C
All
of
that
work
is
occurring
within
the
city
now
and
has
been
for
the
last
six
months
or
so
and
will
continue
for
the
next
I've
leave
12
to
18
months
or
so
there's
actually
one
of
the
exhibits
in
the
back
of
the
room
that
outlines
some
of
that
work
in
the
different
areas
of
town.
The
work
also
includes
vegetation
management
and
vegetation
management's.
C
As
a
fancy
word
for
trimming
trees,
you
know
going
in
trimming
the
trees
back
where
they
have
the
potential
to
limbs
to
falter
and
wind
storms
and
other
things
to
knock
down
the
lines
and
cause
power
outages,
so
so
that
that
work
is
occurring
and
has
been
occurring
in
town.
The
work
specifically
related
to
the
crestmore
neighborhood
bulk
of
that
is
scheduled
for
the
third
quarter
of
this
year,
which
is
July
August
September,
so
that
that's,
when
we'll
be
seeing
a
lot
of
that
work
occurring
in
the
crestmore
neighborhood.
C
C
The
additional
work
that
is
planned
includes
what
they're
calling
pig
launchers
pig
launcher
facility
at
the
Healy
station
that
that's
work
that
I
we
just
found
out
about
here
about
a
week
or
so
ago,
and
what
that
entails
is
some
construction
work
at
that
Healy
station
that
will
allow
pge
to
put
smart
pigs.
These
machines
that
go
into
lines
and
go
up
and
down
the
line
to
determine
is
a
corrosion
or
their
leaks
or
there.
C
Lastly,
there's
a
project
that
I
know
a
lot
of
folks
in
this
room
are
aware
of,
and
that's
the
sneath
lane
pipeline
replacement
smith
lane
if
you've
driven
on
it
lately
has
construction
going
on
there's
some
plates
out
there
there's
some
uneven
asphalt.
The
intent
from
the
beginning
was
for
PG
need
to
get
in
there
and
replace
an
existing
four-inch
gas
line
with
a
new
six-inch
gas
line.
They
were
planning
on
doing
it
with
directional
boring,
which
means
digging
small
holes
and
then
drilling
and
sliding
the
pipe
in
there
for
a
long
length.
C
So
we
don't
have
open
cutting
in
the
road.
Unfortunately,
PG
knees
encountered
some
unexpected
utilities
within
the
roadway.
A
lot
of
those
utilities
are
city
utilities.
The
for
those
of
you
that
have
lived
here
many
years
may
know
that
Smith
used
to
be
a
two-lane
road
had
wound
around
a
lot.
The
water
lines
and
some
of
the
storm
drain
lines
followed
the
old
alignment,
and
so
what
we
thought
was
out
there
in
its
supposed
location,
it's
in
a
different
location.
C
So
what
PG&E
has
done
is
they've
stopped
that
construction
project
and
they're
in
the
process
of
filling
those
holes
where
the
plates
are
and
they're
going
to
repave
those
in
the
interim
they're
going
to
be
doing
some
investigative
work
finding
out
exactly
where
all
these
utilities
are
then
they're
going
to
reassess
their
their
plan.
Hopefully
they
can
come
back
and
still
do
the
directional
boring
without
doing
open
cutting.
There
may
be
areas
where
they
have
to
trench
within
the
road,
so
that
explains
some
of
the
activity.
That's
happening
out
there
on
sneath
lane.
B
So
we've
started
to
receive
some
of
your
questions
and
as
soon
as
I'm
finished
in
just
a
moment,
we'll
begin
answering
those
questions.
But
I
would
encourage
you
if
you,
even
if
you've
heard
what
we've
said
and
that-
and
we
haven't
answered
your
question-
please
jot
it
down
for
us
and
we'll
either
try
and
get
you
the
information
in
another
way
or
answer
the
question
more
completely.
B
The
city
has
been
called
upon
over
and
over
again
over
this
past
two
and
a
half
years
to
represent
what
happened
here
and
what
the
ramifications
of
that
are
for
people
everywhere
and
in
particular,
we've
been
called
upon
to
advocate
or
to
be
a
representative
and
to
express
our
opinion
about
the
necessary
improvements
that
need
to
be
made
in
order
to
assure
your
safety
and
the
safety
of
others
throughout
the
United
States.
To
make
sure
that
something
like
what
happened
here
can't
ever
happen.
B
I
personally
made
six
trips
to
Washington
DC
and
among
the
City
Council
and
the
city
staff
that
were
involved
again
on
an
everyday
basis.
We
made
over
30
trips
to
Washington
DC,
at
the
request
of
the
federal
agencies,
to
assist
with
the
various
investigations
that
report
concluded.
The
NTSB's
can
report
concluded
with
29
safety
recommendations.
Actually,
before
the
report
was
completed,
there
were
an
additional
10,
urgent
safety
recommendations.
B
This
is
I
believe
also
an
unprecedented
number
total
of
thirty-nine
recommendations
for
improvements
that
needed
to
be
made
arising
out
of
what
happened
in
your
neighborhood.
Most
many
of
these
recommendations
were
to
PG&E
itself.
Most
of
the
recommendations,
however,
were
to
the
federal
and
state
agencies
that
are
responsible
for
oversight
and
regulation
of
gas
utility
systems
and
their
operations.
B
B
B
The
amount
of
those
fines
is
as
yet
undetermined,
and
what
is
clear
is
that
those
amounts
by
law
are
directed
and
dedicated
directly
to
the
general
fund
of
the
state
of
California.
They
will
not
be
available
to
improve
regulations
or
rid
the
implementation
of
regulate
a
regulatory
oversight
through
the
California
Public,
Utilities
Commission
or
for
any
other
purpose
they
go
directly
into
the
state's
general
fund.
B
Since
we
last
had
one
of
these
general
meetings,
we
have
a
number
of
questions
that
have
already
been
submitted
and
I
think
what
we
would
like
to
do
now
is
to
move
towards
answering
those
questions
and
then
encouraging
you
to
continue
to
to
provide
those
questions
so
that
we
can
deal
with
as
many
of
them
as
we
can
possibly
tonight
and
I
will
start
with
you.
You
want
to
read
the
questions.
Okay,.
A
B
So
it
is
on
the
city,
site
and
I'm,
sorry
to
tell
you
that
I
had
a
hard
time
finding
it
today.
So
that's
going
to
be
corrected.
There
is
an
accounting
of
the
amounts
that
have
been
reimbursed
to
the
city
from
the
trust
fund.
The
50
million
dollar
amount
that
was
established
in
order
to
cover
the
city's
costs.
That
amount,
as
I
said,
was
6.1
million
dollars
to
date.
It's
it
is
detailed
in
a
on
a
page
on
the
city's
website
that
you
can
reach.
B
B
Click
on
the
reconstruction
tab
and
this
accounting
is
in
the
section
on
reconstruction.
What
I'm
going
to
do
tomorrow
is
have
somebody
move
that
to
the
front
page
so
that
there's
a
direct
link
off
of
the
front
page
to
that
accounting
and
I
hope
that
will
make
it
easier
for
you
to
find
it.
That's
updated
on
a
regular
basis,
reimbursements
from
the
trust
fund
happen
only
about
every
four
to
six
months.
So
it's
it's
it's
information
that
is
not
updated
frequently,
but
it's
updated
every
time.
There's
a
reimbursement.
A
B
Has
evaluated
in
the
rate
study
that
we
did
a
year
ago,
a
ten
year
program
for
improvement
of
the
water
and
sewer
systems
citywide.
There
is
a
very
high
price
tag
associated
with
the
capital
improvements
that
need
to
be
done
to
situate,
that
system
to
replace
and
rehabilitate
those
systems
for
their
ongoing
capability
and
reliability.
B
Among
the
improvements
that
are
being
made
in
your
neighborhood
and
that
we
hope
to
provide
going
forward,
maybe
some
projects
that
would
overlap
with
that
ten
year
program
for
upgrade
of
the
entire
system,
to
the
extent
that
that
happens,
there
could
end
and
those
projects
are
funded
via
the
trust
fund.
There
could
be
a
reduction
in
the
total
cost
of
the
sewer
and
water
system
rehabilitation
program.
B
B
System-Wide
analysis
in
order
to
assign
costs
associated
with
the
use
and
and
demand
on
the
system,
and
that's
what
the
City
Council
has
done
so,
while
I
realized
that
that
may
not
be
the
answer
that
you
would
like
to
hear.
That's
that
is
that's
the.
That
is
the
analysis
that
the
city
uses
and
it's
the
it's
the
best
answer
that
I
can
provide.
Yes,
sir.
B
A
Me
just
add
to
that:
it's
not
going
to
probably
satisfy
you,
but
a
lot
of
the
infrastructure.
All
of
the
infrastructure
and
in
your
particular
neighborhood
will
be,
will
be
completely
replaced.
But
you
still
use
the
sewer
treatment
plant
that
we
all
use.
You
still
use
all
of
the
sewer
and
water
lines
downstream
that
we
all
use.
B
So
we
have
another
question:
is
any
of
the
settlement
money
received
from
PG&E
going
to
the
education
fund
to
help
with
education?
It's
my
understanding
that
the
property
taxes
received
from
hon
orders
pay
for
education
in
san
bruno
and
with
the
decreased
property
values
because
of
san
bruno
explosion
with
the
education
fund
be
entitled
to
receive
a
portion
of
the
settlement.
Again,
the
settlement
funds
will
be
distributed.
Decision-Making
about
the
use
of
the
settlement
funds
will
be
made
by
a
not-for-profit
entity
that
is
separate
from
the
city.
It's
not.
B
B
I
will
say
one
thing,
and
that
is
that
there
was
a
very
specific
negotiation
that
occurred
to
result
in
a
68.75
million
dollar
settlement
and
a
strongly
held
interest
on
the
part
of
PG
need,
as
expressed
during
those
negotiations,
was
that
funds
provided
were
not
used
for
normal
governmental
purposes
and
that
they
were
deliberately
and
distinctly
separated
from
any
possible
use
for
normal
operations.
That's
the
purpose
of
the
not-for-profit
entity
or,
among
the
purposes
of
the
not-for-profit
entity,
my
opinion.
B
It
would
not
be
consistent
with
the
terms
and
the
requirements
of
the
settlement
agreement
for
operations,
normal
governmental
or
or
normal
business
operations
of
a
another
entity,
that's
funded
by
taxpayer
revenues
to
to
be
covered
by
settlement
funds.
But
again
that's
a
decision.
I'm
not
making
city
council
is
not
making
or
be
made
by
the
not-for-profit.
C
Okay,
I'm
just
going
to
read
the
questions
myself
and
then
provide
the
answers,
so
some
of
these
I
think
I've
already
dressed.
Why
are
the
roads
so
bumpy
again
we're
exploring
some
some
things
to
smooth
out
the
roads
in
the
interim
until
the
final
pavement
gets
put
down?
How
long
will
this
reconstruction
take
again?
That
phase
three
is
going
to
last
from
April
through
November
of
this
year
and
then
the
phase
for
the
surface
improvements
will
be
through
the
end
of
summer
of
2014.
So
that's
that's
the
time
frame
for
the
reconstruction,
the
infrastructure.
C
The
these
have
bump-outs
or
curb
extensions,
have
been
utilized
in
many
different
cities
and
towns
across
the
country.
For
the
past
you
know
25
30
years,
if
not
longer,
they
are
safe,
but
by
their
very
nature,
that's
what
they're
designed
for
is
to
slow
traffic
down,
but
we
can
gather
some
specific
data.
There's
a
shto
and
some
other
folks
have
data.
We'll
ask
our
engineer
to
pull
some
of
that
data
together
and
we'll
can
share
it
with
the
folks
back
on
the
rebuild
crestmore
website.
C
D
C
C
So
here's
here's
a
good
example
of
one
of
those
intersections.
So
here
is
the
existing
sidewalk
back
here
and
then
this
represents
this
line.
Right
here
would
be
this
outer
line
here.
So
essentially,
what
you're
doing
is
bumping
the
curb
out
extending
the
curb
out
and
narrowing
the
intersection
so
that
people
don't
go
rushing
to
that
intersection.
C
C
C
The
driveways
that
are
out
there
right
now
do
not
meet
a
DA
current,
a
DA
standards.
They
were
designed
and
constructed
back
in
the
late
50s
and
early
60s.
So
in
order
to
rebuild
the
sidewalk
to
meet
a
DA
standards
and
not
create
a
big
ramp
for
cars,
what
we're
proposing
to
do
is
two
things.
One
raised
essentially
raised
the
street
up
or
if
you
can
visualize
it
shorten
the
curb
height
from
its
current
six-inch
design
to
four
inches.
C
What
that
allows
us
to
do
and
I'm
getting
very
technical
here
is
too
shallow:
the
ramp
of
the
dry.
'we
approach
on
the
wide
streets.
We
have
the
opportunity
to
move
the
curb
one
foot
into
the
street
on
each
side.
So
when
we
do
that,
it's
going
to
shallow
that
driveway
approach
even
more
make
it
less
steep.
And
yes,
the
sidewalk
will
be
widened
on
those
streets,
but
it
won't
be
widened
into
your
yard.
C
D
C
C
C
So
one
of
the
things
I
fail
to
mention
earlier
and
part
of
my
presentation
as
part
of
the
next
phase
of
work
is,
we
are
going
to
be
obviously
impacting
each
individual
resident
with
a
new
sewer,
lateral
and
a
new
water
service
as
part
of
that
Joan?
Can
you
raise
your
hand?
Joan
Joan
in
the
back
of
the
room,
maybe
stand
up.
C
Jonesy
rot
is
one
of
our
construction
inspectors
and
she's
helping
oversee
not
only
construction
but
the
design
interface
for
this
next
phase
of
work,
if
Joan
hasn't
already
Joan
will
be
knocking
on
your
door
and
talking
to
you
about
the
sewer,
laterals
and
the
water
services
as
part
of
that
she's
also
going
to
ask
if
she
can
go
into
your
backyard
to
see
if
you
have
a
vida
chore
a
concrete
drainage
ditch.
What
we're
trying
to
accomplish
is
to
get
an
inventory
of
where
all
the
drainage
ditches
are
in
the
entire
neighborhood.
C
When
the
subdivision
was
built,
you
know
there
wasn't
good
records
that
were
kept.
We
know
that
over
time
people
have
filled
in
those
ditches
or
you
know
taking
them
out.
So
we
need
to
see
where
the
ditches
are,
where
there's
pieces
missing
and
then
ascertain
what
is
a
good
solution
globally
to
deal
with
this
drainage
situation.
One
thing
to
keep
in
mind
is
that
these
drainage
ditches
are
all
on
private
property.
They're,
not
City,
they're,
not
city
utilities,
they're,
a
privately
owned
b,
ditches.
A
D
Property,
you
know,
there's
a
ditch,
but
behind
all
the
houses
on
our
block,
all
the
way
up
from
Concord
up
to
what
that
dead
end
is
if
they're
at
the
bottom
of
that
ditch
is
a
dream
and
the
drain
is
behind.
My
house
in
the
city
does
not
come
out
there
and
clean
it
and
I'm
the
one.
That's
like
the
gatekeeper
for
that
drain.
You
know
I
mean,
and
I
feel
that
I
don't
own
a
drain.
You
know
I
mean
that's
a
city
drain.
D
D
C
Well,
I
I
think
we're
mixing
a
couple
of
different
issues
here,
but
in
terms
of
the
drainage
ditches,
like
I,
said,
the
first
step
is
to
go
out
and
let's
do
an
inventory
of
where
they
are
and
what
condition
they
are
in
and
then
we
can
take
the
next
step
and
decide
how
it
is
we're
going
to
address
that.
So
that's.
D
C
In
in
that
particular
area,
we
have
a
geotechnical
engineer
as
part
of
the
project.
We
I
know
that
he
has
looked
at
some
issues
close
by
there.
We
can
certainly
have
them
go
out
and
take
a
look
at
that
area.
Sure
next
question
is
a
streetlight
is
needed
on
concord
and
Claremont's
dead-end
street.
So,
as
part
of
the
streetlight
design,
we
hire
a
consultant
that
dues
that
does
photometrics
and
photometrics
is
where
they
do.
A
study
show
where
the
new
street
lights
are
going
to
be,
what
sort
of
light
is
thrown
off.
C
Who
will
be
responsible
for
taking
care
of
the
trees
and
vegetation
in
the
proposed
bump-outs,
and
how
often
will
maintenance
be
provided
so
that
the
city
will
be
responsible?
The
Parks
and
Rec
staff
will
be
responsible
for
the
maintenance
of
landscaping
just
like
they
are
citywide,
I
I
think
that's
something
that
we've
talked
about
is
I
need
to
explore.
Further.
Is
you
know
the
potential
of
you
know
utilizing
some
of
the
funds
via
the
trust,
to
perform
some
of
that
maintenance
there's.
C
Obviously,
legal
and
policy
issues
involved
with
that,
but
you
know
that
that's
something
that
I
think
is
you
know
worth
exploring
beyond
the
park
in
keeney
replanting
efforts.
Are
there
plans
to
renew
rebuild
the
trails
and
crestmore
Canyon?
If
not,
how
can
that
be
done
so
overall
project
costs
that
we've
identified
within
the
neighborhood
are
somewhere
in
the
order
of
around
25
million
dollars
in
additional
soft
costs
staff
time
other
reimbursements
to
the
city.
You
know
adding
on
to
that.
Doesn't
equal
the
full
50
million
dollars
there
has
been
some.
C
D
And
Terry,
you
talked
a
little
bit
about
this
condition
of
the
streets
and
that
the
the
response
to
it
seemed
a
little
bit
vague
as
to
what
might
be
considered.
I
know
that
it's
been
very
important
to
this
community
to
have
something
done
temporarily:
to
get
the
streets
to
a
place
where
we
can
at
least
drive
over
them
in
a
way
where
we're
not
jostle
des
bout.
D
In
normal
circumstances,
it
would
not
make
sense
to
tear
up
streets,
pay
them
and
tear
them
up
again,
but
these
are
pretty
extraordinary
circumstances
and
I
think
this
community
would
appreciate,
maybe
going
the
extra
mile
and
spending
that
money
to
get
something
repaired
on
the
streets
in
a
temporary
way.
So.
B
We
have
a
program
of
improvements
that
Harry
has
authorized
to
carry
out,
and
there
is
an
approximate
I
had
asked
Harry
to
give
me
a
ballpark
back
in
the
envelope
estimate
of
what
it
would
take
to
do
a
what
we
call
slurry
seal
coating
on
the
streets
that
are
currently
impacted
it
and
then
to
with
the
intent
than
of
coming
back.
That
would
not
be
the
final
treatment,
but
it
would
provide
a
temporary
improvement
I
think
along
the
lines
of
what
you're
talking
about.
He
told
me
that's
of
an
approximate
two-hundred-thousand-dollar
improvement.
B
B
Unsettled
us
about
the
way
that
the
that
the
neighborhood
is
left
and-
and
we
are
working
through
these
issues-
I
hate
to
say
it
much
in
a
much
in
the
same
way.
You
are
we've
never
done
this
before,
and
so
when
we
scope
and
strategize
about
what
would
be
the
right
way
to
prepare
for
and
deliver
a
project
of
the
scope
of
magnitude
that
we
are
attempting
to
the
delivering.
B
C
Unfortunately,
given
given
the
dollar
amount,
it's
something
that
we
would
have
to
publicly
bid.
We
couldn't
just
call
up
a
contractor
and
say:
hey:
can
you
go
out
and
pave
this
for
us?
You
know
we're
talking
about
a
fairly
significant
dollar
amount
and
actually
just
to
clarify
one
of
the
things.
Connie
said
we
explored
both
slurry
ceiling
as
well
as
doing
a
thin
overlay,
and
actually
it
was
a
thin
overlay
that
we
think
will
stand
up
better.
C
C
So
that's
something
there
that
we
can
certainly
consider,
and
if
we
do
that,
then
that
means
that
construction
would
start
in
April,
mid,
April
or
so.
But
regardless
we
have
to
go
through
a
public
bid
process
and
even
an
expedited
bid
process
with
just
the
paving
we're,
probably
looking
at
maybe
shaving,
two
or
three
weeks
off
that
timeframe.
D
C
You
know
that's
a
very
good
question.
The
way
that
the
project
was
was
bid
and
constructed
is
there's
individual
trenches,
so
they
dig
the
trench,
backfill
the
trench
and
then
just
pave
that
trench.
So
what
we
have
is
we
have
some
fairly
good
paving
on
top
of
the
trench,
but
then
we've
got
the
old
paving
beside
it.
That
you
know
has
been
through
a
lot
and
so
you've
got
good,
paving
bad,
paving
good,
paving
right
beside
each
other,
and
it's
you
know
originally.
C
C
C
No
I
again
I
think
the
original
thinking
was
that
you
know
if
we
can
get
most
of
those
homes
in
the
rebuilding
process,
while
we're
doing
the
infrastructure
that
is
ideal,
but
even
if
those
Lots
are
constructed
after
we
do
our
final
lift
of
paving
the
construction
traffic
related
to
home
construction
isn't
as
great
as
obviously
big
heavy
road
construction.
So
we
don't
anticipate
that
that
should
or
will
be
an
issue.
B
No,
there
isn't
there
there.
There
are
no
restrictions
that
the
city
legally
can
impose
I.
I
would
venture
to
say
that
PG&E
is
highly
sensitive
to
the
perceptions
of
the
community
and
the
interests
of
the
city
as
your
representatives,
so
that
would
be
a
topic
of
discussion
with
with
PG&E,
as
we
go
forward
to
what.
