Description
San Bruno Special City Council Meeting 12-15-09 4. City Council Applicant Kevin Chase
B
B
You
know
during
that
time,
I
learned
a
great
deal
about
the
city,
how
to
deal
with
difficult
situations
where
we,
for
example,
don't
really
have
a
view
ordinance,
but
it's
very
important
to
the
residents
that
you
know
their
homes
or
views
are
not.
You
know
impaired
by
some
monster
home
ways
to
deal
with
that
ways
to
actually
one
on
one
with
the
people
and
try
and
resolve
their
differences
before
it
becomes.
You
know
something
that
is
out
of
control
and
cannot
be
repaired.
B
B
You
know
I've
been
a
volunteer
on
the
clean
sweep
I
volunteer
for
ayso
coaching
yeah
I.
Don't
a
lot
of
things
in
the
community
that
that
I
totally
enjoy
doing,
and
to
me
that
that's
an
important
part
you
need
to
enjoy
what
you're
doing,
if
you're
going
to
go
into
it
wholeheartedly
when
I
first
was
appointed,
Planning
Commission
are
quite
honestly,
didn't
know
exactly
what
I
was
get
into
and
it
was
somewhat
of
an
eye
opener,
but
it's
been
a
great
experience
and
I
thoroughly
enjoy
it.
B
Having
said
that,
with
this
opportunity
here
that
that
has
arisen
and
again
as
city
manager
stated
doesn't
happen
very
often
I
felt
at
this
time.
I
would
be
a
very
good
candidate
for
the
vacant
position
and
understanding
the
commitment
that
is
required.
I
felt
that
I
could
certainly
fulfill
that
and
would
look
forward
to
what
a
great
amount
of
gusto
to
do
that
right.
C
Okay,
let
me
just
say
this
and
I
meant
to
say
it
with
with
Rick
both
of
your
service
on
Rick
and
yourself
on
the
Planning.
Commission
has
been
exceptional
and
I
compliment
you
on
on
your
years,
as
both
both
of
your
years
of
service
in
the
Planning
Commission
I've,
seen
you
both
in
action
and
followed
you.
C
So
it
will
be
tough
to
replace,
replace
you
if,
if,
if
you
do
sit,
still
get
selected
Kevin
in
your
in
your
application,
one,
you
call
yourself
a
community
activist,
and
if
you
might
comment
on
that,
but
also
you
state
that
you
like
to
create
opportunities
for
employment
and
housing,
I
believe
we're.
You
know,
I
think
we're
doing,
okay
with
housing,
and
you
know
and
you're
familiar
with
things
through
the
planning
commission
on
what
we're
doing
with
housing.
What
are
your
ideas
on
creating
opportunities
in
employment
in
this
town?
Well,.
B
A
B
Basically,
as
as
a
steward,
if
you
will
for
the
citizens
of
San
Bruno,
we
have
a
great
responsibility
to
represent
them
on
a
daily
basis
and
everything
you
do
everything.
You
say
all
your
actions.
You
know
you're
constantly
under
the
microscope,
if
you
will,
before
I,
had
the
current
job
that
I
have
now
I
was
a
somewhat
of
a
similar
situational
that
wasn't
as
a
councilmember.
It
was
as
a
union
representative
and
I
understand
that
everything
that
you
say
people
will
try
and
either
twist
it
or
you
know,
use
it
to
their
advantage.
B
So
you
need
to
be
very
careful
in
the
way
in
which
you
answer
questions
or
you
know,
present
a
plan.
You
want
to
present
something
that
you
know
you
can't
deliver.
Just
you
know
to
get
off
the
hot
seat
that
doesn't
work,
it's
a
great
responsibility
and
a
great
burden,
but
it's
also
a
great
opportunity
for
somebody
to
represent
their
City
and
their
fellow
residents
and
be
very
proud
of
that
and
I
would.
B
However,
having
said
that,
there
are
you
know,
circumstances
and
again
in
these
economic
times,
where
you're
driven
to
to
do
the
right
thing
to
you
know,
continue
the
public
services
that
the
residents
need
and
expect
and
yet
be
able
to
do
it
in
such
a
financial
way
that
you
know
you're
not
going
to
go
bankrupt
or
you
know
so
it's
yeah,
it's
very
good
question.
I
would
certainly
like
to
see
how
what
the
options
are.
B
B
Yes,
marijuana
I
do
believe
I
I
could
I
do
work
in
Half,
Moon,
Bay
and
sometimes
like
tonight,
coming
over
here
and
trying
to
jump
in
the
shower,
get
down,
I
cut
it
down
to
the
wire
quite
often
be
honest
for
kids.
Most
people
probably
know,
but
as
they
also
know
you
know,
I
do
make
all
the
meetings
along
with
the
Commissioner
be
as
I
and
I.
B
Think
we've
sat
on
I,
don't
know
how
many
of
the
ark
reviews
and
had
a
great
time
doing
it
as
well
the
commitment
again
it's
it
is
not
something
that
is
foreign
to
me.
It's
not
something
I
would
shy
away
from
I.
Would
you
know
just
look
at
it
as
a
great
opportunity
for
for
myself
to
you
know,
serve
the
city
that
then
I
truly
love
to
I
mean
it's
a
great
place
to
live.
You
know
it's.
It's
got
problems
as
every
other
city.
Does
it's
not
perfect
run
out?
C
Kevin
act
1
5th,
14
years
ago,
when
I
came
on
this
on
the
was
a
point
on
the
City
Council
I
made
some
tough
decisions
that
controversial
decisions,
but
it
seemed
that
the
most
overwhelming
saying
that
I
had
to
deal
with
issues
I
had
to
deal
with
was
getting
right
into
the
budget
and
it's
kind
of
daunting
won
the
first
budget
you
get.
You
know
when,
when
you're
not
expecting
it,
you
get
handed
a
four
inch
thick
binder,
and
now
there
were
two
binders.
C
Staff
saying
absolutely
no
we're
against
consolidation,
but
then
big
chunk
of
money
to
save
you
know,
and
so
how?
How
would
you
deal
with
you
know
with
with
that
dilemma,
saving
money
versus
the
morale
of
you
know,
of
your
city,
employees,
and,
and
let
it
not
tell
me
you
know,
let
me
know
what
you
know
about
the
budget
right
now.
B
B
Councilman
Tom
Barrett,
but
you
know
numbers
are
our
numbers
and
whether
they
have
a
lot
of
zeros
behind
them
or
just
you
know
a
few.
It's
still
a
matter
of
figuring
it
out.
How
much
is
coming
in
how
much
is
going
out,
and
you
know
where
you
need
to
tighten
the
belt.
If
you
will
that's
that's.
Basically,
the
part
of
the
the
budget
that
I
suppose
I
know
about
that's
pretty
vague
as
I
said,
but
it's
a
learning
curve
and
if
I
were
to
get
you
know
if
I
was
fortunate
enough
to
be
appointed.
B
The
first
thing
I
would
do
a
face
with
the
two
binders
versus
when
you
first
had.
One
would
certainly
be
to
come
to
you
and
ask
you
for
your
help.
You
know
on
your
advice,
as
the
other
council
members
as
well
and
I
mean
hey
you're
when
you're
the
new
guy
on
the
block
you
need
to
you
need
to
ask
questions,
you
can't
be
afraid
to
ask
questions.
You
know
the
only
stupid
question
is
one
that
isn't
asked.
So
you
know
certainly
I
would
not
be
afraid
to
ask
questions.
B
I
know
when
I
first
came
on
the
Planning
Commission
Commissioner
Mary,
you
know
she
was
so
helpful
to
me
anything
anything
you
need
and
I
I
took
that
you
know
and
asked
her
several
questions,
a
bunch.
You
know
I
still
do
you
know
so
I
mean
every
day's
learning
day
and
everything's
a
little
bit
different,
but
I
would
fully
expect
that
the
way
in
which
you
guys
have
gone
the
council's
gone
currently
and
in
the
past.
It's
it's
a
direction
that
that
I
think,
is
great
and
I.
B
C
B
Know
I'd
have
to
go
if
it's
a
legitimate
good
savings
for
the
community,
I
mean,
as
maybe
it's
unpopular
as
that
might
be,
for
you
know
the
rank-and-file
of
you
know,
whatever's
being
consolidated,
you
have
to
do
the
right
thing.
You
know
by
all
this
is
it's
not
just
you
know
a
few,
so
it
would
probably
be
very
tough
decision,
but
based
on
what
you're
telling
me
I
would
have
to
go
along
with
the
consolidation
and
I'm
sure
you
probably
catch
a
lot
of
heat
for
it.
But
you
know
that's
what
you
have
to
do.
