San BrunoSpecial City Council Meeting 12-15-09 4. City Council Applicant Rick Biasotti
B
A
little
closer
good
evening,
great,
my
name-
is
Rick
bsod
I've
been
a
resident
seen
bruno
for
24
years
and
I've
made
the
decision
now
that
I've
retired,
to
remain
here
in
San
Bruno.
This
is
my
community.
This
is
my
home.
I've
worked
here
for
ten
years
and
I've
developed
one-on-one
relationships
with
a
lot
of
the
folks
that
have
been
customers
of
mine
I
understand
the
commitments
as
far
as
time
that
are
required
of
a
city
council
member
has
a
planning,
Commissioner
I'm,
familiar
with
the
piles
of
staff
reports
that
show
up
that.
B
One
needs
to
read
through
and
study
to
be
prepared
for
meetings.
I've
also
been
involved
in
community
Regional
obligations.
I've
gone
to
a
lot
of
conferences
for
the
Planning
Commission
represented
the
city
like
I,
said:
I'm,
not
retired
and
I
have
the
time
to
participate
fully
in
City
Council
activities.
B
I've
been
serving
this
council
as
a
planning
Commissioner
since
2004
I
chaired
the
planning
commission
from
two
thousand
six
to
two
thousand
seven.
As
you
know,
the
Planning
Commission
is
the
only
board
or
Commission
that
has
deals
with
due
process.
The
Commission
on
behalf
of
City
Council,
create
era,
creates
binding
decisions
regarding
businesses
and
property
for
citizens
in
San,
burnham
I've
volunteered
to
sit
on
almost
every
architectural
review
meeting
I
participated
in
subcommittee
meetings
is,
for
example,
the
general
plan
update
and
the
residential
design
guidelines
meetings.
B
I
understand
and
have
demonstrated
that
I
can
deliberate
in
public
venue.
I
understand
the
importance
of
transparency
and
our
activities
in
our
decisions
in
front
of
the
public.
I've
worked
really
hard
to
make
sure
that
citizens
are
heard
and
their
ideas
are
reiterated
so
that
they
can
be
clearly
understood.
I
already
have
a
form
700
on
file
I've
completed
SP
1,
2
3
for
ethics,
training
and
I
believe
that
I
have
the
respect
to
my
fellow
commissioners
and
I
can
carry
that
forward
with
me
to
the
point
of
the
City
Council.
B
If
appointed
my
position
on
city
and
the
Planning
Commission
would
become
available,
allowing
someone
else
to
become
involved
in
city
politics
and
finally,
I
believe
that
I've
done
the
job
that
the
city
council
is
tasked
me
with
and
I
perform
those
duties
with
the
utmost
diligence
and
seeing
as
how
we
have
so
much
to
do
tin.
It
I'll
keep
my
comments
that
brief.
Ok,
any.
A
C
B
C
D
I'm
asked
to
first
one
is
going
to
be
technical.
I
feel
you
know
what's
going
on,
is
because
being
on
a
Planning,
Commission
I
believe
you,
you
understand
the
development
issues
and
you
know
the
general
planets.
How
do
you
feel
that
great
the
great
separation?
What
do
you
see
happening
to
San
Bruno?
What's
your
understanding
of
the
benefits
or
non
benefits
of
the
great
separation?
Well,.
B
B
No
I'll
be
completely
honest.
This
is
my
home
I've
chosen
to
live
here.
I
recently
retired
and
I
could
have
gone
several
different
places.
Palm
Springs
was
thinking
of
Oregon
for
a
while
too,
but
this
is
home.
I
have
friends
here,
staffs
been
wonderful
to
work
with
I've
worked
for
ten
years,
one
on
one
with
people
in
the
grocery
business
and
I
have
a
family
and
a
circle
of
friends.
Here
in
San
Bruno.
This
is
home
I'm
not
going
anywhere.
This
is
my
community
I
feel
very
strongly
about
that.
B
A
A
B
C
D
I
guess,
based
on
the
last
to
question:
what
is
your,
what
is
your
understanding
about
the
budget
and
how
the
city
is
run?
You
know
the
revenue
and
the
expenses
things
have
have
you
gotten
into
how
how
the
how
the
money
that
the
tax
money
comes
in
and
where
it
comes
from
and
how
it
gets
distributed.
Do
you
have
a
basic
understanding,
basic
understanding.
B
D
B
It's
a
difficult
question:
it's
a
hard
one
to
balance.
I've
spoken
a
lot.
Two
staff
members
and
I
listened
to
a
lot
of
the
comments
made
about
the
current
budget.
I
think
there's
opportunities
for
us
in
various
places.
We
have
utilities
that
we
have
the
garbage
company,
the
cable
company,
there's
opportunities
for
us
to
create
new
sources
of
revenue
for
careful
I
think
we
need
to
look
and
explore.
I've
got
the
time
now
to
give
it
some
serious
consideration
and
look
to
see
what
we
can
do.
