San Bruno City Council Meeting March 12, 2013
10c. File the Articles of Incorporation for the San Bruno Community Foundation
A
C
Evening,
mr.
mayor
members
of
the
City
Council,
tonight's
report
and
resolution
proposes
a
small
but
important
step
in
forming
the
not-for-profit,
that's
required
by
the
settlement
agreement
with
PG&E.
So
what
we're
asking
you
to
review
is
to
authorize
the
mayor
to
sign
and
file
the
Articles
of
Incorporation
that
are
attached
to
the
staff
report.
As
you
might
recall,
the
City
Council
held
two
meetings,
one
back
in
October
and
then
one
just
last.
C
C
Let's
quickly
walk
through
the
articles,
because
there's
a
couple
of
important
things
we
want
to
highlight.
First
of
all,
it's
obvious
that
filing
Articles
of
Incorporation
requires
an
incorporate
tour
and
that
incorporator
can
be
either
a
natural
person
or
an
entity.
And
in
this
case
the
incorporator
is
the
city
of
San
Bruno
and
we're
requesting
that
the
mayor
be
authorized
to
sign
the
articles
on
behalf
of
the
city
as
the
entity.
C
That's
incorporating
the
nonprofit
second
of
all,
you'll
see
that
the
entity
is
incorporated,
as
required
by
federal
law
as
a
501
c
3
tax-exempt
organization,
and
when
you
do
that,
you
have
to
have
certain
magic
words
in
the
Articles
of
Incorporation,
which
say
that
it's
organized
for
public
benefit
and
or
charitable
purposes.
So
that's
what
the
articles
say.
As
a
result,
you
did
agree
on
a
name
previously
now's
your
your
last
chance
to
change
your
mind
before
they're
filed
the
name.
C
Wood
is
proposed
to
be
the
San
Bruno
community
foundation
and
as
of
this
afternoon,
we
we
haven't
found
any
other
entity
with
that
name.
Fortunately,
although
we're
still
pending
confirmation
from
the
Secretary
of
State
that
the
name
is
available,
so
we
hope
to
we
are
hoping
to
hear
by
6
30
tonight,
apparently
the
Secretary
of
State's
office
closed
before
we
could
find
out
so
we'll.
If
there's
a
problem,
we'll
let
you
know,
but
we
don't
anticipate
that
there
will
be
one
the
purpose
of
the
entity.
C
We
did
slightly
revised
the
wording
primarily
for
sin
tax
purposes,
but
there's
also
the
addition
of
one
thing
that
I
wanted
to
point
out.
So
let
me
just
read
that
off
to
you
one
one
last
time
here,
the
purpose
would
be
to
benefit
the
San
Bruno
community
through
enduring
and
significant
contributions
to,
and
investments
in
charitable
and
community
programs
and
publicly
owned
community
facilities
over
the
long
term.
C
What's
different
is
the
addition
of
the
publicly
owned
that
modifies
community
facilities
and
that
was
recommended
by
our
outside
attorney
who's,
an
expert
in
non-profit
law
and
said
you
want
to
make
sure
that
it
says
that
so
that
you're
not
purchasing
facilities
that
are
owned
by
that
are,
for
the
private
benefit
of
any
individual,
so
they're
publicly
owned
facilities.
So
that's
why
we
included
that
that
word
in
there.
C
One
of
the
other
things
you've
noticed
is
that
the
articles
require
the
designation
of
what's
called
an
agent
for
service
of
process,
which
is
a
fancy
way
of
saying.
If
the
entity
is
sued,
you
have
to
have
somebody
who's
going
to
receive
that
lawsuit
and
we're
proposing
that
be
me,
the
city
attorney
the
entity
can
can
change
that
once
it's
once
it's
formed,
the
entity
isn't
proposed
to
have
any
members.
It's
not
like
shareholders
of
a
corporation,
no
one's
going
to
be
voting,
except
for
the
board.
C
So
what's
next,
assuming
that
you
provide
the
authority
to
the
mayor
to
sign
and
file,
the
articles
staff
has
already
started
working
on
some
draft
bylaws,
which
we
intend
to
bring
back
at
a
future
study
session.
City
Council,
of
course,
will
also
need
to
select
board
numbers
for
the
entity,
and,
once
that's
done
is
you'll.
Remember
from
my
last
presentation,
out
of.
B
C
Foundation
can
then
schedule
some
of
its
initial
meetings
and
at
those
meetings
the
foundation
will
want
to
appoint
officers
like
president
vice
president,
so
on
and
so
forth.
Prepare
other
legal
documents
that
are
necessary,
discuss
a
staffing
plan,
adopt
a
schedule
of
regular
meetings
and
then,
of
course,
and
most
importantly,
begin
its
work
for
the
community.
That
concludes
my
report.
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
Any.
C
D
The
only
thing
that
comes
to
my
mind
is
heaven
forbid.
Another
disaster
is
that
you
have
privately
owned
buildings
that
are
dire
need
of
you
know
some
assistance,
but
I'm
sure
we
can
work
away
where
we
can
go
through
another
organization.
That
would
help
assist
in
that
and
say
in
a
restoration
or
aid
right.
C
In
general,
the
distinction
is
that
the
the
funds
of
the
corporation
can't
what's
called
anuar
to
the
benefit
of
private
persons,
and
that
doesn't
mean
the
private
persons
can't
get
a
benefit.
It
means
that
they
can't
get
an
improper
benefit,
so
you
can't
be
doling
money
out
to
a
bunch
of
individuals
without
also
having
a
public
and
or
charitable
purpose.
That's
the
point.
