Description
San Bruno City Council Meeting 12-08-09
A
A
B
B
Item
number
three:
we
have
some
announcements.
There
will
not
be
a
city
council
meeting
on
the
fourth
Tuesday
in
December.
This
is
the
last
one,
except
for
a
special
one.
Next
week,
when
we
talk
about
appointment
to
of
a
new
council
member
San
Brenda's
redevelopment
agency
will
meet
following
this
evenings
meeting
and
presentations.
We
happen
on
this
evening
review
of
the
agenda.
There's
no
objections,
I'd
like
to
pull
item
number
11,
which
is
the
personnel
board
report
and
have
them
report.
B
B
C
The
minutes
from
December
first
on
the
second
page,
there's
an
addition
of
a
minute
that
should
reflect
that
vice
mayor
Medina
asked
for
the
notices
for
the
council
vacancy
be
forwarded
to
the
boards
and
the
Commission's,
so
I've
added
that,
but
I'd
also
like
to
say
that
that's
an
that's
the
job
of
the
city
clerk.
That
would
be
the
first
thing
we
would
do
upon
your
announcement.
So
I
made
such
a
change
in
the
minutes.
Okay,.
C
B
E
D
B
F
F
F
The
Personnel
Board
has
a
variety
of
activities
that
we
carry
out
throughout
the
year.
We
look
at
job
descriptions.
We
do
comprehensive
review
of
the
cut
job
descriptions
before
they
go
out
for
recruitment.
During
the
past
year,
we
worked
on
job
descriptions
in
the
community
services
department,
which
is
the
library,
Parks
and
Recreation,
and
also
the
Senior
Center.
F
We
plan
to
continue
reviewing
the
status
of
recruitment
sand,
targeting
areas
to
increase
our
recruitment,
evaluate
the
process
afterwards
of
the
recruitment
to
make
sure
that
we
touched
all
of
the
areas
that
we
need
to
and
have
a
very
good
pool
of
candidates
and
will
continue
to
conduct
proctors
for
exams
as
required
and
when
necessary
and
throughout
the
year.
Any
of
you
are
obviously
more
than
welcome
our
meetings.
I
know
we
have
a
council
representative,
but
whenever
you
have
questions
or
concerns
we're
there
to
support
you
at
all
times.
D
Timeshare
I
know
it's
been
a
long
time,
since
we
had
the
concern
about
the
process,
the
lingering
process
of
going
through
interviews
and
such,
and
that
we
were
quite
possibly
losing
good
candidates
because
of
how
long
it
was
before
we
made
a
decision.
Do
you
feel
that
you're,
at
your
optimum
process,
right
now,
getting
the
best
candidates
and
being
able
to
review
the
process
of
getting
them
through
interview
processes,
each
active
recruitment.
E
F
E
Didn't
have
a
question,
but
I
did
want
to
make
a
and
I
know
that
sometimes
the
road
through
what
the
Personnel
Board
has
done
and
changed
in
the
last
few
years
have
been
a
little
rocky,
but
it
seems
that
you're
on
a
smooth
path.
Right
now
and
you've
done
a
lot
of
things
and
I
know
it
can
be
a
very
tedious
process
and
put
some
in
here
like
yeah
company,
but
it's
very
crucial
and
I
appreciate
all
the
efforts
that
all
of
you
have
done.
So.
Thank
you
very
much.
You.
B
A
B
Requires
a
lot
of
dedication
and
we
want
to
let
you
know
how
much
we
appreciate
it.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you.
Next
item
is
night
of
number
nine.
A
public
comment
on
items
not
on
the
agenda
individuals
about
three
minutes
groups
in
attendance:
five
minutes
it
is
the
council's
policy
to
refer
matters
raised
in
this
forum
to
staff
for
investigation
interaction
where
appropriate.
The
Brown
Act
prohibits
the
council
from
discussing
or
acting
upon
any
matter,
not
agendized
pursuant
to
state
law.
B
Anyone
would
like
to
address
the
council
right,
seeing
no
one
conduct
of
business
item
number
ten,
a
adopt
a
resolution
approving
new
time,
limited
parking
restriction
in
the
400
block
of
3rd
Avenue,
limiting
parking
duration
to
15
minutes
weekdays
from
730am
to
830
a.m.
&
2pm
go
to
3,
30
p.m.
and
staff
report.
Please.
H
Good
evening,
mayor
and
council,
so
I'm
before
you
tonight
to
recommend
adoption
of
new
time
limited
parking
restrictions
on
Third
Avenue
adjacent
to
Bel
Air
school.
As
the
council
is
aware,
we've
been
working
over
a
fairly
long
period
of
time,
really
trying
to
address
neighborhood
traffic
issues
in
the
Bel
Air
neighborhood,
an
important
part
of
that
was
working
in
and
around
belair
school
and
trying
to
improve
the
circulation
there.
H
In
addition,
we've
adopted
several
other
initiatives,
including
speed
hump
in
the
500
block
of
3rd
Avenue,
rerouting
the
access
points
to
the
pickup
and
drop-off
area
from
3rd
Avenue
to
First,
Avenue
and
those
have
been
effective
and
as
we
implemented
those
things
the
school
has
observed,
and
they
came
to
us
with
one
additional
request.
As
you
can
see
up
on
the
screen,
we
have
parking
in
sort
of
in
the
median
in
third
Avenue,
and
that
is
the
only
parking
that
has
no
time
restriction
and
what
the
observation
was
from
the
school
is.
H
There
was
regularly
long-term
parker's
in
that
zone
and
it
really
conflicted
with
the
need
to
have
quick
turnover
during
the
busy
pickup
periods
in
the
and
drop
off
periods
in
the
morning
in
the
afternoon
the
school
came
to
us.
We
worked
with
them,
created
a
proposal
and
then
went
to
the
TSB
see
this
is
close
to
the
neighborhood,
and
so
we
work
closely
with
the
neighborhood
and
we
connected
to
hearings
with
the
TSP,
see
in
October
and
November.
H
We
provided
written
notices
to
the
October
meeting
and
also
written
notices
to
the
November
meeting,
and
that
notice
was
in
both
English
and
Spanish.
So
we
did
a
major
effort
to
really
outreach
to
inform
the
community
and
let
them
know
what
was
being
proposed.
We
actually
found
that
there
was.
We
had
known,
no
citizens
that
came
in.
We
had
some
contact
with
folks.
They
had
some
questions
and
we
explained,
but
there
appears
to
be
support
for
the
proposal.
H
The
TSP
see
then
recommended
that
the
council
adopt
staffs
recommendation,
which
is
to
adapt
to
impose
a
15
minute
parking
restriction
in
the
morning
and
in
the
afternoon
on
weekdays
to
facilitate
the
drop-off
and
pickup
at
the
school.
We've
collaborated
with
the
principal
at
bel
air.
They
support
this
proposal
and
I'm
ready
to
answer
any
questions.
If
you
have
any
regarding
this
any
questions
of
staff.
H
Really,
we
don't
believe
that
there's
the
majority
of
the
demand
for
parking
here
really
is
related
to
the
school.
There
is
other
parking
in
the
neighborhood
and
in
the
parking
lot
that
is
adjacent
to
Bel
Air
school,
that
is
longer
duration.
So,
yes,
we're
proposing
a
shorter
duration
here,
effective
for
the
entire
year.
Okay,.
I
D
H
Prompted
this,
there
is
some
spillover
parking
from
the
neighborhood
and
really
as
school
is
about
to
start.
We
actually
actively
work
with
the
school
with
police.
We
go
in
there
and
we
do
some
advanced
reminder,
notices
to
try
and
move
people
that
have
been
long-term
parking,
so
we're
managing
in
a
way
so
that
today
we're
not
seeing
long-term
parking
in
the
zone.
But
if
attention
isn't
placed
on
trying
to
get
parking
to
turn
over
there,
this
happens
to
be
a
location
where
we
have
long-term
parking.
H
G
H
Exactly
what
we're
we're
actually,
as
far
as
the
implementation,
we
should
within
two
weeks
be
able
to
fabricate
the
signs
and
put
them
in
place,
and
we
typically
do
work
with
law
enforcement
so
that
we
have
a
transition
period
so
that
that
everyone
is
aware
and
there's
not
an
immediate
penalty
imposed.
Okay.
H
B
C
J
Honorable
mayor
and
council
member
I
was
before
you
two
meetings
ago,
giving
you
a
more
detailed
presentation
on
the
status
of
the
El
Camino
median
project.
During
that
presentation,
I
informed
you
that
the
department
is
in
negotiation
with
the
contractor
on
our
hopefully
last,
and
certainly
the
last
change
order
on
this
project
and
I
communicated
to
you
that
I
will
be
back
and
asking
the
increase
of
the
budget
with
the
construction
budget
for
this
project
and
that's
the
intent
tonight.
The
final
I,
just
you
have
just
to
remind
you
exactly
the
scope
of
the
project.
J
This
last
change
order
in
essence
includes
necessary
work
on
median
for
additional
excavation
work,
&
replacement
of
that
excavated
material
with
planting
soil.
The
final
cost
for
that
additional
work
which
needs
to
be
done
is
forty,
nine
thousand
dollar,
and
this
will
increase
the
overall
contract
to
eighty
four
thousand
dollars.
It
is
our
assumption
and
as
the
that
this
time
that
this
will
be
the
final
cost
for
this
project
and.
D
D
To
the
chair,
I
just
like
to
make
a
statement
that
it
is
really
looking
good.
You
know
today
and
then
I
know
that
we've
always
anticipated
that
there
were
some
unknowns
and
my
question
is:
are
we
fully
documenting
what
we're
doing
so
that
we
know
in
the
future
what
you
know
what
changes
we've
made
and
what
what
to
expect
you
know
for
future
generations
that
will
change
the
meetings.
J
Absolutely
for
Phase
two
old
learning
process
will
be
used
for
phase,
one
will
be
used
for
Phase
two,
and
it
is
our
intent
and
I
serrated
on
the
soil
investigation
before
this
contract
document
will
go
out
and
I
might
say,
also
not
to
defend
by
any
means.
The
department
is
not
my
place
to
defend
our
department,
but
our
engineering
estimate
was
higher
originally
and
this
final
number
bring
closer
to
the
engineering
estimate,
but
the
city
received
a
reasonably
good
bit
proposal
and
the
bid
proposal
came
in
below
engineering
estimate,
origin.
B
C
A
Good
evening,
honorable
mayor
City,
Council
members,
the
purpose
of
this
item
is
to
report
on
an
update
of
the
housing
element
of
the
city's
update
of
the
housing
element.
This
city
council
held
a
study
session
in
August
to
review
the
housing
element
and
provided
comments
which
staff
incorporated
into
the
document
and
submitted
to
the
state
department
of
housing
community
development.
A
The
state
conducted
its
60-day
review
of
the
housing
element
and
reported
their
findings
to
the
city
in
a
letter
in
mid-november,
most
of
hdd's
comments
are
relatively
minor,
requiring
clarification
and
additional
explanation
and
analysis
and
staff
is
preparing
a
memorandum
to
respond
to
the
state's
comments.
However,
the
state
did
have
one
significant
concern
regarding
the
housing
element
program
that
addresses
the
requirement
to
plan
for
homeless
housing
in
the
city.
The
state
is
concerned
that
the
ten
bed
size
limit
in
the
program
does
not
provide
a
realistic
opportunity
for
development
of
emergency
shelters.
A
As
a
permitted
use
without
a
conditional
use
permit
to
permit
to
ensure
that
zoning
encourages
and
facilitates
homeless
shelters,
San
Bruno
has
an
identified
need
for
32,
homeless,
shelter
beds
based
on
the
county,
homeless,
census
and
survey,
which
was
conducted
in
January
of
2009's
b2
does
allow
flexibility
for
local
governments
to
apply
written
objective
development
and
management
standards
for
homeless
shelters,
including
the
maximum
number
of
beds
or
persons
permitted
to
be
served
nightly.
However,
neither
the
legislation
nor
HDD
State
what
that
maximum
size
is
it
what
would
be
appropriate
for
the
community?
A
A
Staff
is
recommending
revising
programs
6d,
which
addresses
the
the
homeless
housing
in
the
city,
to
remove
the
limit
on
the
number
of
shelter
beds
and
to
state
that
the
city
will
develop
written
objective
standards
for
homeless
shelters
using
specific
language
from
from
SB
2.
In
addition,
this
at
the
housing
element
would
state
that
the
city
will
coordinate
with
homeless
service
providers,
such
as
the
interfaith
hospitality
network
and
the
peninsula
clergy
network,
as
well
as
a
21
elements.
A
Countywide
consortium
of
cities
that
are
working
on
housing
elements
as
a
group
to
determine
appropriate
standards
for
emergency
shelters
in
san
bruno
and
to
draft
language
to
include
in
the
zoning
code.
Update
staff
will
submit
its
response
to
hdd's
comments
within
the
next
week
and
then
we'll
discuss
what
it
will
have.
A
phone
conference
with
the
HDD
reviewers
to
discuss
the
proposed
revisions
and
once
hcd
endorses
the
revision
staff
will
bring
the
final
housing
element
to
the
City
Council
for
approval
and
with
that
I'd
be
interested
in
taking
any
direction.
City
Council
through.
G
The
chair
a
couple
of
things,
one
I
know
the
state
on
the
sp2.
They
said
that,
obviously
ten
they
say
is
not
feasible
for
even
though
we
do
have
currently
an
existing
right
ten
bed
facility
within
our
community,
so
it
can
work,
and
it's
sometimes
often
that
I
think
the
state
says
what
it
what
it
won't
allow,
but
doesn't
offer
any
solutions
or
alternatives
or
suggestions
to
us.
It's
my
first
observation,
but
the
second
is
on
the
10
that
are
currently
in
st.
Bruno's.
Does
that
help
us
with
our
32
count?
That's
required
no.
A
A
E
Did
thank
you
very
much.
Beautification
task
force
will
be
doing
their
holiday
lights
program
this
year.
That's
where
the
members
go
out
and
photograph
the
different
holiday
lights
throughout
the
city,
and
then
we
do
a
PowerPoint
presentation
and
it
is
broadcast
on
our
channel
one
during
christmas
weekend
this
year,
we'd
like
to
add
an
element.
Sometimes
our
pictures
they're,
all
amateurs
that
go
out
and
do
this,
and
sometimes
our
pictures
are
not
the
best,
but
we
would
like
to
include
people's
own
pictures
if
you
would
like
to.
E
We
also
would
like
to
include
your
Christmas
tree,
that's
inside.
If
you
would
like
to
submit
that
and
you're
with
your
family
around
it.
If
you'd
like
to
do
that,
so
if
you
have
Christmas
holiday
or
holiday,
I
should
say
christmas
holiday
light.
So
our
christmas
trees,
or
any
kind
of
thing
like
that
that
you
would
like
to
see
broadcast
on
our
channel
one.
E
Please
put
it
either
on
a
disk
and
give
it
to
the
city,
clerk
and
she'll,
get
it
to
me
or
go
to
our
website
to
my
email
address
and
you
can
attach
it
and
send
it
to
me.
The
deadline
is
December
eighteenth
and
because
we
need
a
little
time
to
put
the
program
together
and
then
broadcast
it
and
I'm
sure
where's
the
cable
person.
We
can
put
an
announcement,
cable,
Rex.
B
D
On
a
sad
note,
I'd
like
to
propose
that
we
adjourn
this
meeting
in
memory
of
longtime
resident
Lewis
gracel,
who
died
last
last
couple
weeks.
He
was
very
active
in
bellaire
school
in
the
community
and
cappuccino
high
school,
and
he
was
actually
a
good
friend
of
mine
and
helped
him
one
of
my
campaigns
way
back
one
but
which
the
family
well
in
this
time
and
his
memory.
Thank.
B
B
B
Of
the
minutes
regular

about
cover
27th,

here.
Any
changes,
additions

understand,
approved
a
consent
calendar.
We
have
nothing
on
the
consent,
calendar
public
hearing,
a
public

public
comment
once
again:
Brown

on
any
matter,

pursuant
to
state
law.
But

The
chair
before
we
begin
I
just
want
to
get
clarification
from
the
city
attorney
yeah,
since
we
will
be
discussing
and
going
over
element
to
the
transit
corridor
and
prior
I've
had
to
recuse
myself,
and
so
is
another
member,
and
whether
or
not
we
are
necessary
to
do
that.
This
time
or
whether,
since
there's
no
action
or
decision
making
that
were
permitted
to
remain
and.
C
However,
tonight
that
is
not
what
you
have
before
you
you're
not
being
asked
to
adopt
the
implementation
program,
and
you
are
not
being
asked
to
make
any
decisions
about
what
is
before.
You
is
an
informational
item
in
which
the
statutory
requirements
are
going
to
be
explained
and
the
process
that
the
city
is
undertaking.
C
With
respect
to
this
implementation
plan,
therefore,
I
find
that
there
is
no
conflict
of
interest
on
the
matter
before
you
this
evening,
because
it
is
an
informational
item.
The
note
of
caution
that
should
the
discussion
devolvement
to
which
I
don't
anticipate
to
happen
any
setting
of
specific
priorities
or
financial
priorities,
then
you
would
start
to
get
into
an
area
that
would
create
that
type
of
difficulty
for
you.
So
do
you
have
any
questions
for
me
at
this
time
the.
A
The
agency
is
completing
its
10th
year
of
operation,
it
was
formed
in
1999
and
it's
also
completing
its
second
five-year
implementation
plan.
As
you
know,
implementation
plans
have
to
be
prepared
every
five
years
and
we're
now
starting
on
our
third
implementation
plan.
The
agency
has
achieved
the
number
of
significant
accomplishments
in
the
last
ten
years,
such
as
planning
for
and
facilitating
development
at
the
crossing,
the
former
Navy
site,
which
includes
over
200
units
of
affordable
housing
and
over
a
thousand
units
of
housing.
A
All
together,
it
has
funded
the
construction
of
the
of
the
police
facility
and
improvements
in
the
downtown,
as
well
as
the
commercial
facade
improvement
program.
The
agency
is
entering
into
a
new
phase
as
the
crossing
development
nears
completion
and
the
downtown
and
transit
corridor
plan
is
in
progress.
The
transit
corridors
plan
will
provide
an
important
road
map
to
help
to
direct
redevelopment
activities
in
the
future.
J
A
Rsg
has
provided
redevelopment
consulting
services
for
nearly
30
years
and
is
prepared
over
100
implementation
plans
and
midterm
reviews.
We
have
Cathy
Rosa
now
a
principal
at
RS
g
and
Susie
Kim
who's.
The
project
manager
on
the
implementation
plan
here
and
kathy
will
give
the
presentation
on
the
coming
five
year
implementation
plan.
I
I
What
we
intend
to
do
tonight
is
to
provide
a
general
background
on
redevelopment,
as
well
as
introduce
some
of
the
things
that
are
underway.
With
regards
to
the
preparation
of
this
next
five-year
implementation
plan.
To
begin
with,
on
the
San
Bruno
redevelopment
project
areas
mark
indicated
was
adopted
in
1999.
It
includes
approximately
700
acres,
largely
centered
around
the
downtown
area.
As
Mark
indicated
redevelopment
law
requires
that
a
five-year
implementation
plan
a.
I
Five-Year
implementation
plan
be
completed
and
in
order
to
keep
with
that
schedule,
the
intent
is
to
bring
the
plan
back
to
you
in
January
for
actual
approval.
So
tonight
we
just
wanted
to
introduce
some
of
the
initial
concepts.
The
implementation
plan
is
an
opportunity
to
start
prioritizing
projects
and
programs
for
the
next
five
years,
based
upon
the
agencies
in
the
city's
needs
and
goals.
I
One
of
the
important
things
because
of
all
the
work
that's
been
underway
on
the
downtown
and
transit
corridor
specific
plan
will
be
blending
some
of
the
activities
to
implement,
potentially
that
plan
with
the
redevelopment
implementation.
It's
important
to
point
out
that
an
implementation
plan
under
redevelopment
law
can
be
amended
at
any
time.
So
if
a
year
or
two
or
five
years
from
now
there's
a
desire
to
make
a
change,
it
is
within
the
agency's
authority
to
do
such.
I
Redevelopment
law
requires
that
every
redevelopment
plan
contains
certain
limits
and,
in
addition
back
when
your
plan
was
adopted,
some
limits
were
negotiated
as
part
of
your
agreement
with
the
county.
These
limits
include
first,
the
plan
duration,
which
is
july
six,
twenty
thirty.
What
that
means
is
that's
the
time
limit
for
commencing
implementation
activities
and
when
you
do
any
kind
of
agreement
that
puts
on
a
control
for
land
use,
the
duration
of
that
control
should
comply
with
that
duration.
I
The
second
limit
is
the
limit
on
the
receipt
of
tax
increment
and
the
repayment
of
debt
that
gives
you
another
ten
years
so
july,
six,
twenty
forty
to
collect
tax
increment.
The
third
is
on
incurring
debt.
Basically,
the
law
says
that
you
have
twenty
years
to
include
incur
debt,
so
that
would
take
you
to
july
six
2019.
I
That
particular
limit
can
be
amended
by
going
through
a
redevelopment
plan.
Amendment
process
next
eminent
domain,
there's
a
limit
initially
on
twelve
years,
so
your
eminent
domain
limit
is
currently
july,
six
2011
again
that
amendment
could
be
amended
through
a
process.
Next,
the
tax
increment
limit
of
five
hundred
and
fifty
million.
This
was
one
of
those
limits
that
wasn't
required
by
law,
but
was
the
outcome
of
your
negotiations
with
the
county.
If
you
were
to
want
to
amend
that
limit,
it
would
likely
be
required
to
return
and
potentially
renegotiate
that
agreement.
I
I
Overall,
the
purpose
of
redevelopment
under
California
state
law
is
to
improve
communities
through
the
rebuilding
and
repair
of
infrastructure.
Many
of
the
projects
that
you've
accomplished
today
have
certainly
involved
that
revitalization
of
neighborhoods
there
are
a
number
of
neighborhoods
included
within
the
project
area
boundaries
producing
affordable
housing
which
you've
already
undertaken
and
continue
to
do.
Stimulating
growth
in
commercial
areas,
including
jobs,
creation,
which
obviously
projects
like
the
crossing
and
what
you're
contemplating
potentially
in
the
specific
plan
transit
corridor
would
would
be
such
kinds
of
projects.
I
It's
important
to
point
out
that
the
Redevelopment
Agency
has
no
authority
to
increase
taxes,
either
property
taxes
or
any
other
kind
of
tax.
It's
a
redirection
of
new
property
tax.
By
way
of
example,
you
can
see
in
this
slide
what
happens
when
you
create
the
project
area?
It's
called
the
base
year
tax
revenue,
all
of
that
revenue
continues
to
go
to
all
of
the
affected
taxing
entities
and
then,
as
new
private
investment
occurs
and
property
values
increase
the
property
tax.
That's
generated
by
those
new
values
is
what
goes
to
the
Redevelopment
Agency.
I
Now,
when
the
redevelopment
agency
receives
taxi
Kermit,
the
law
requires
that
twenty
percent
be
set
aside
for
the
purposes
of
increasing
and
enhancing
affordable
housing.
The
law
also
requires
that
a
portion
be
passed
through
to
all
of
those
affected
taxing
entities
and
then
what
remains
is
left
for
the
agency
to
spend
on
non,
affordable
housing
projects.
How
that
works
out
is
twenty
percent
generally
is
in
the
low
mod
fund.
Over
time
approximately
thirty
cents
goes
back
to
the
affected.
I
Taxing
entities
leaving
approximately
fifty
percent
for
the
non
housing
projects
mark
has
gone
through
some
of
those
accomplishments
of
the
redevelopment
agencies
since
its
inception,
so
I
won't
spend
more
time
going
through
those.
You
can
see
those
on
this
slide
as
well
as
the
next
slide
moving
into
the
legal
requirements
for
the
five-year
implementation
plan.
Again,
it
has
to
be
adopted
every
five
years.
You're
also
required
to
do
a
midterm
review
of
that.
That's
an
opportunity
that
many
agencies
use
if
they
want
to
update
their
plan
at
that
time.
I
It's
a
good
opportunity
to
do
that
because
you
have
to
hold
the
hearing,
just
as
you
will
in
January.
The
law
requires
that
the
plan
identify
the
goals
of
the
project
area
and
the
proposed
projects
and
programs
that
will
be
implemented
and
an
estimate
of
expenditures
of
tax
increment
over
the
next
five
years.
It
also
requires
that
the
plan
describe
how
those
projects
will
address
existing
blighting
conditions.
Part
of
the
reason
for
forming
a
project
area
was
to
eliminate
conditions
that
the
redevelopment
law
refers
to
as
blight.
I
I
As
you
know,
the
city
has
been
processing
a
downtown
and
transit
corridor,
specific
plan
which
will
focus
on
a
new
development
plan
through
the
year
2030.
The
purpose
of
this
specific
plan
is
to
foster
new
residential
office,
retail
and
hotel
development,
and
another
major
focus
is
to
enhance
the
transportation
infrastructure,
particularly
related
to
public
transit,
bicycle
pedestrian
and
also
automobile
transit.
I
Now
redevelopment
provides
special
tools
to
help
implement
those
kinds
of
projects.
One
of
those
tools
is
owner
participation.
There's
a
mandate
in
law
that
owners,
existing
property
owners
and
businesses
be
given
a
priority
to
be
involved
in
redevelopment
and
enter
potentially
enter
into
contracts.
With
the
agency
to
accomplish
redevelopment,
the
agency
also
has
the
authority
to
acquire
property
for
the
purpose
of
land
assemblage
so
that
if
there
are
numerous
small
lots
that
no
longer
makes
sense
in
today's
economy
and
real
estate
marketplace,
those
can
be
consolidated
and
assembled
for
potential
new
development.
I
I
Successful
redevelopment
will
likely
result
from
focusing
on
opportunity
sites
and
opportunity.
Sites
are
particularly
those
where
there
are
willing
landowners
or
participants
where
the
market
is
ready,
where
the
real
estate
market
has
reached
a
point
where
it
can
accommodate
that
kind
of
development
where
the
development
is
financially
viable
and
the
financing
is
available
to
invest
in
it
and
where
there's
a
willing
developer.
Who
is
willing
to
invest
in
that
property?
I
Now
the
details
of
how
the
implementation
of
the
specific
plan
are
to
occur
are
still
in
an
embassy
stage,
and
so,
as
we
focus
now
back
on
the
five-year
implementation
plan.
One
of
the
items
that
we're
suggesting
is
that
the
plan
focus
on
more
broad
programs
at
this
juncture,
with
the
idea
being
that
over
time,
the
programs
could
be
more
cific,
Lee
developed,
and
at
this
point
what
we
intend
to
do
is
introduce
four
primary
programs
and
then
give
examples
of
specific
projects
that
could
be
implemented
under
those.
I
So
the
first
of
that
of
those
would
be
implementation
of
the
specific
plan,
and
particularly
the
potential
for
the
opportunity
sites
and
the
infrastructure
improvements
that
the
specific
plan
has
already
identified
as
needed.
A
second
major
category
to
be
included
in
the
implementation
plan
would
be
the
infrastructure
improvements,
including
accessible
pedestrian
ramps,
the
sidewalk
repair
program,
the
street
rehab
program.
Many
of
these
are
ongoing
programs
that
the
agency
has
historically
been
involved
with.
I
The
third
would
be
to
promote
economic
development.
We
know,
one
of
the
items
that's
been
of
interest
to
the
city
is
to
attract
a
hotel
developer
to
the
crossing.
Another
might
be
involving
local
business.
Training
in
conjunction
with
Skyline
College
annex
would
be
a
business
attraction
and
retention
program
with
the
focus
of
targeting
new
retail
into
the
area.
A
fourth
would
be
ongoing
project
area
beautification,
including
commercial
rehabilitation,
improvements
to
the
city's
gateways
and
signage,
and
also
continued
support
for
the
code
enforcement
program
within
the
project
area.
I
As
part
of
our
development
of
the
implementation
plan,
we
also
are
analyzing
potential
tax,
increment
generation
that
could
occur
over
time
currently
in
the
year
2009-10.
We
estimate
that
the
agency
will
receive
approximately
4.6
million
of
revenue
now
and
that's
after
those
pass-through
payments
have
been
made
and
after
the
basic
aid
school
districts
have
received
their
share
and
after
the
administration
and
operating
expenses.
So
your
your
revenue
is
on
the
upswing,
and
you
know
it's
it's
showing
that
there
has
been
investment
over
the
last
ten
years.
I
And,
as
you
can
see,
what
happens
is
in
the
early
years?
The
boxes
are
are
closer
to
the
same
size
and
as
the
effects
of
new
development
occur
over
time,
there's
a
multiplier
effect
in
the
level
of
tax
increment,
that's
generated,
so
we
wanted
just
to
present
this,
for
generic
purposes
would
require
a
lot
more
detail
in
terms
of.
Is
this
going
to
be
reality
on,
so
we
just
really
wanted
to
introduce
the
concept
that
new
value
equals
a
new
tax,
increment
and
well
into
the
future.
I
Also
related
to
that,
we
took
that
those
two
streams
of
tax
Kermit
and
said
what,
if
we
looked
at
potential
bonds
that
could
be
secured
by
tax-increment
over
the
next
15
years,
again,
just
for
illustrious
purposes
and
under
the
scenario
one
again,
the
more
conservative
growth
scenario.
It's
estimated
that
bond
issues
in
excess
of
44
million
could
occur
over
the
next
15
to
20
years.
Under
the
second
scenario
that
would
increase
to
over
70
million
dollars.
I
The
other
mandated
component
of
an
implementation
plan
has
to
do
with
the
redevelopment
agencies,
affordable,
housing
requirements
in
this
regard
on
it's
our
opinion,
thus
far
that
you're
meeting
your
mandates.
We
understand
that
there
is
the
potential
new
project
on
san
mateo
avenue.
That's
already
been
approved.
It's
like
a
lot
of
projects
right
now.
It's
getting
it's
hard
to
get
financing,
but
we
suspect,
as
the
market
turns
around,
that
project
can
move
forward.
I
Also,
next
steps
would
be
to
work
with
the
council
in
the
community
to
identify
top
needs
and
goals
for
the
project
area,
then
specifically
prioritizing
projects
and
programs
across
short-term
and
long-term,
looking,
not
just
at
five
years
but
ten
years
in
20
years
out
and
lastly,
on
next
steps
would
be
future
meetings
held
to
decide
specifically
how
money
should
be
spent
over
the
next
five
years.
10
years
and
20
years.
I
B
I
E
I
Eminent
domain
extension
can
be
done
for
an
additional
12
years
as
much
as
12
years,
and
it's
actually
somewhat
of
a
simple
form
amendment,
although
it
does
require
the
certain
documentation
of
existing
conditions
and
substantiation,
the
need
for
continuing
that
authority.
Generally
speaking,
I
would
say:
domain
extension
could
be
done
within
six
months
time
frame
and
yeah.
I
B
D
Year
of
redevelopment,
colleagues
I
think
it's
a
good
time
and
with
your
experience,
working
with
redevelopment
agencies
I'd
like
you
to
comment
on
how
you
know
I'd
like
to
think
that
we're
well-positioned,
especially
even
even
with
what's
going
on
in
the
economy,
is
we
have
specific
plans.
We
are
positioning
ourselves,
we
we
know
what
we
want
and
plus
we've
got.
You
know
we're
anticipating
a
healthy
stream
of
funds,
redevelopment
funds
coming
in.
So
if
you
can
comment
on
that,
as
far
as
you
know,
with
your
experience,
how
does
San
Bruno
look?
I
They
say
in
bad
economic
times,
it's
time
to
have
everything,
shelf,
ready
and
I.
Think
the
timing
of
your
specific
plan
is
good
is
very
good
on
that
you're,
you
know
completing
that
process
and
that
you're
focusing
on
opportunity
sites.
I
mean
that's
key,
it's
a
it's
always
hard
when
you
have
700
acres
to
work
with.
Where
do
you
start
and
having
gone
through?
I
You
know
a
rational
process
to
focus
on
particular
opportunities
sites,
for
a
number
of
different
reasons
makes
a
lot
of
sense,
and
so
you
know
I
think
you
are
well
positioned
and
because
you
do
not
currently
have
any
outstanding
bonds
that
are
a
pledge
of
tax
increment,
a
direct
pledge
of
tax
increment.
You
are
in
a
position
to
potentially
consider
a
bond
issue
at

appropriate
time.
B
Next
item
is
adjournment
before
we
do.
I
would
like
to
ask
the
council
to
join
me
in
a
moment
of
silence.
We
had
a
very,
very
tragic
situation
in
Washington
State
happen.
Just
a
week
ago,
four
officers
were
shot
and
killed,
November
29th
in
lakewood
washington.
They
were
Ronald,
Owens,
Tina,
Griswold,
Greg,
Richards
and
Sergeant
Mark
renninger,
and
it's
just
a
very
tragic
situation.
I'd,
like
the
council
to
join
me
in
a
moment
of
silence
in
their
memory.

Thank
you
very
much.
