Description
San Bruno City Council Meeting January 25, 2011 10f. Impact of Governor's Proposed State Budget
A
B
The
first
is
the
governor's
proposal
to.
Let
me
let
me
back
off
in
sin
and
describe
the
governor's
proposed
budget
as
one
that
redefines
the
way
that
many
services
are
delivered
in
particularly
services
that
are
either
funded
or
directly
provided
by
the
state
of
California.
In
an
effort
to
resolve
continuing
and
increasing
deficit
issues
at
the
state,
this
is
a
more
massive
reconstruction
of
service
delivery
than
has
been
implemented
in
prior
year.
State
budgets,
but
an
has
the
potential
to
the
city
on
many
different
levels.
B
Some
of
them
at
this
point
are
not
yet
able
to
be
predicted.
A
couple
that
are
is
the
governor's
proposal
to
shift
down
to
local
governments,
the
incarceration
of
offenders
with
a
commensurate
or
a
corresponding
shift
in
revenues
for
for
the
services
provided
primarily
by
county
jails,
and
the
big
problem
is
in
that
proposal
is
that
county
jails
in
many
areas
of
our
state
are
already
operating
at
capacity
and
the
funding
that's
proposed
to
be
shifted
by
the
state
to
the
local
government
to
the
county.
B
But
our
back
out
on
the
streets
because
it
can't
be
housed
in
addition
to
that,
there
is
the
unanswered
question
remaining
in
the
governor's
budget
about
the
continuation
of
the
vehicle
license
fee
structure
that
is
currently
in
place
and
which
is
subject
to
consideration
by
the
legislature
and
potentially
by
voters
vehicle
license.
Fees
are
currently
being
used
by
counties,
in
particular
by
San
Mateo
County,
to
offset
the
must
of
booking
fees
that
would
otherwise
be
charged
and
were
previously
charged
to
local
cities.
B
So
there
are
two
potential
effects
in
the
law
enforcement
or
the
criminal
justice
area.
A
second
in
more
minor
impact
is-
and
I
would
say,
highly
likely
to
be
impacting
local
library,
services
up
and
down
the
state.
Currently,
the
state
funds
a
couple
of
programs
in
currently
including
the
library
facilities
program
in
the
interlibrary
loan
program
which,
through
which
the
city
receives
approximately
25
thousand
dollars
a
year
in
prior
years,
those
funds
were
deposited
to
the
city's
own
internal
fund.
B
It
would
be
visited
directly
on
the
delivery
of
services
through
county
governments
and
be,
as
I'm
sure,
the
city
council,
is
aware.
The
and
I'm
not
directly
discussing
those
tonight
because
they
do
not
impact
direct
financial
relationships
between
the
city
and
the
state
of
california.
We
do
need
to
be
mindful
of
the
fact,
though,
that
the
relationship
between
program,
delivery
and
funding
is
different
between
counties
and
cities.
B
It
is
likely
that
human
services
and
health
services
that
are
currently
delivered
by
the
county
by
this
and
others
up
and
down
the
state
will
either
no
longer
be
delivered
or
will
be
ways.
It
may
need
to
be
discussed
to
shift
those
services
to
local
cities.
If
they're
going
to
be
continued
at
all,
that's
a
and
in
fact,
that
I
think
we
we
are
currently
unable
to
quantify,
but
we've
seen
before
and
could
potentially
anticipate
again.
B
Should
the
state
be
successful
in
approving
a
budget
that
once
again
seeks
to
place
the
lion's
share
of
the
financial
responsibility
on
takeaways
from
local
cities
for
local
governments.
The
most
serious
component,
or
the
most
immediately
concerning
component
of
the
governor's
proposed
budget,
is
his
proposal
to
do
away
with
redevelopment
as
a
function
of
local
government.
B
As
the
city
council's
aware,
redevelopment
is
intended
to
produce
economic,
tangible
economic
development
results
and
specifically,
and
in
most
cases
those
that
would
not
otherwise
be
able
to
be
created
by
the
private
sector
or
by
the
limited
resources
of
municipal
and
other
local
agency
general
funds.
So
redevelopment
was
implemented
many
years
ago
with
the
intent
of
providing
a
dedicated
funding
source
and
that
source
is
growth
in
property
tax
revenues
that
goes
to
local
redevelopment
agencies,
instead
of
being
distributed
among
all
of
the
various
taxing
entities
within
the
community.
B
There
is
a
very
healthy
provision
within
redevelopment
law
and
to
which
the
redevelopment
agency
of
the
city
of
San
Bruno
does
it
here,
and
that
is
for
pass-through
of.
In
our
case,
approximately
fifty
percent
of
all
tax
increment
revenues
received
by
our
agency
are
actually
pass
back
through
to
taxing
entities:
schools,
mosquito
abatement,
district,
the
city
itself,
along
with
a
variety
of
many
others.
So
it
is
not
entirely
accurate
to
say
that
all
revenue
does
that
go
to
the
city.
B
B
With
that
said,
the
proposal,
then,
is
to
completely
eliminate
redevelopment
agencies.
It
is
unclear
at
this
time
exactly
how
that
would
occur.
There
are
numbers
of
legal
and
other
issues
that
are
pending
resolution,
and
so
it
is
very
early
to
speculate
about
precisely
how
that
would
happen,
and
precisely
what
the
impact
to
the
San
Bruno
redevelopment
agency
would
be
in
very
general
terms.
B
The
council
is
also
aware
that
the
agency
has
incurred
debt
that
it
currently
resides
at
the
level
of
approximately
3
million
dollars
to
the
equipment
reserved
as
start-up
costs
that
were
incurred
in
the
early
days
of
the
formation
of
the
agency
prior
to
it,
generating
really
any
tax
increment
revenues.
At
all.
B
More
to
the
point
the
agency
has
I
would
say
ambitious
or
at
least
moderately
ambitious
plans
for
that
are
that
are
now
within
sight,
and
we
are
on
the
cusp
of
being
able
to
make
a
tangible
difference
beyond
that
which
has
already
been
implemented
in
the
city
of
san
berdo,
with
the
realization
of
the
vision,
that's
captured
in
our
transit
corridors
plan
and
I
know.
The
city
council
is
aware
and
has
been
anxious
to
take
advantage
of
the
promise.
B
But
there
is
consideration
in
the
proposal
that
the
governor's
office
has
made
that
existing
obligations
of
redevelopment
agencies
would
be
secured
with
the
continuation
of
some
form
of
tax
increment
revenues
and
that,
by
doing
so
by
limiting
the
continued
flow
of
tax
increment
to
redevelopment
agencies
or
their
successor
agency
organizations.
That
would
be
in
place
simply
to
secure
the
payoff
of
agency
obligations
and
debt.
B
There
is
indication
that
those
types
of
obligations
which
our
agency
has
actually
incurred
very
little
of,
would
continue
to
be
satisfied.
There
was
an
initial
as
this
news
rolled
out
of
the
governor's
office.
There
was
initial
scramble
to
consider
whether
agencies
could
issue
debt
to
essentially
encumber
an
ounce
of
tax
increment
that
might
be
anticipated
over
the
life
of
a
redevelopment
agency
and
the
City
Council
has
considered
such
a
technique
and
current
in
previous
strategic
planning
sessions
and
consideration
of
our
redevelopment
implementation
planning
processes.
B
The
very
next
thing
that
began
to
be
discussed
was
the
state
enacting
urgency
legislation
to
prevent
that
from
happening
for
urgency
legislation
to
be
implemented.
That
would,
in
essence,
retro
actively
eliminate
any
new
debt
incurred
from
the
provisions
of
the
governor's
proposal
so
that
that
option
came
to
be
considered
as
a
as
a
as
a
less
viable
way
to
protect
redevelopment
resources.
B
In
order
to
possibly
protect
it,
so,
although
that
strategy
does
not
appear
in
the
list
that
I'm
going
to
discuss
with
you
from
the
staff
report,
I
will
add
it
as
an
item
that
I
think
needs
to
be
considered
over
the
over
the
next
days,
as
as
part
of
an
overall
strategy
to
address
the
potential
devastating
consequences
to
the
city
of
San
Bruno.
Should
this
governor's
proposal
be
ultimately
successful?
B
Much
more
simply.
The
item-
that's
in
front
of
you
tonight
is
to
consider
the
sending
of
a
letter
to
the
governor's
office.
That
would
articulate
not
only
the
tangible
improvements
that
have
been
part
of
the
Redevelopment
Agency
work
program
in
the
city
of
san
berdo
over
the
past
few
years,
but
also
to
articulate
the
harm
that
would
be
the
result
of
the
proposal
being
implemented,
particularly
in
our
city.
B
In
that
you
authorize
us
to
undertake
on
your
behalf
over
the
next
days
and
weeks
as
this
effort
continues
in
the
early
part
of
the
governor's
budget.
Consideration.
In
addition
to
considering
bonding
as
a
strategic
attempt
to
address
the
protection
of
both
current
tax
increments
in
hand
as
well
as
those
that
would
otherwise
be
received
over
time.
B
Staff
is,
is
proposing
that
we
look
at
the
documentation
that
exists
on
agency
obligations
outstanding.
For
example,
we
do
have
the
issuance
of
certificates
of
participation
that
occurred
in
2002
to
construct
to
the
police
facility.
I'm,
sorry
I
believe
it
was
in
two
thousand
to
construct
the
police
facility
redevelopment
tax
increments
are
pledged
by
a
agreement
between
the
city
and
the
agency
to
cover
the
debt
service
on
the
co
PS
that
were
issued
by
the
city.
B
Thirdly,
we
recommend
that
you
direct
us
to
look
at
any
another
any
in
all
other
ways
that
we
might
secure
a
a
city
and
agency
relationship
with
respect,
for
example,
to
the
outstanding
debt.
As
I
mentioned
before,
we
have
3
million
dollars
of
agency
debt
to
the
general
fund
equipment
reserve,
either
strengthening
that
agreement
in
order
again
that
it
could
withstand
the
elimination
of
redevelopment
via
the
governor's
proposed
budget
and
or
that
we
simply
consider
repaying
it
so
that
those
funds
go
out
of
the
agency
are
no
longer
subject
to
being
eliminated.
B
Two
additional
items
that
we
look
at
the
relationship
that
we
have
with
the
Redevelopment
Agency
relative
to
the
ownership
of
real
real
property
assets.
The
agency
does
own
one
piece
of
property
in
our
downtown.
It's
not
I,
don't
know
exactly
what
the
governor's
proposal
would
you
know
how
that
how
that
asset
would
be
disposed
with
the
with
the
budget
proposal,
but
I
think
it's
safe
to
say
we
don't
want
it
to
go
out
of
our
hands
and
it
if
transferring
it
to
the
city
in
some
manner,
would
protect
it
again.
B
I
think
that's
something
that
you
ought
to
consider
directing
us
to
take
a
hard
look
at
and
then.
Lastly,
as
the
city
council
is
aware,
we
have
obligations
through
our
housing
set
aside.
That
is
one
feature
of
Rita
and
activity.
We
have
a
very
substantial
annual
ongoing
obligation
to
the
affordable
housing
units
that
have
been
produced
at
the
crossing
project.
B
But
beyond
that,
the
way
the
governor's
proposal
is
currently
structured,
housing
increment
would
revert
to
the
housing
at
the
local
housing
authority.
In
other
words,
the
feature
of
redevelopment
activity
that
goes
to
the
provision
of
affordable
housing
would
continue,
but
it
would
be
undertaken
not
by
redevelopment
agencies
but
by
local
housing
authorities.
As
you
know,
the
city
of
san
berdo
does
not
have
a
local
housing
authority
and
in
our
case,
that
jurisdiction
is
with
the
County
Housing
Authority.
So
the
question
would
be
it
are.
B
We
are
we
comfortable
with
san
berdo,
increment
housing,
increment
going
to
the
County
Housing
Authority?
What
exactly
would
that
mean
to
the
ability
to
produce
affordable
housing
in
our
community,
and
how
might
we
go
about?
Would
it
be
worth
while
going
about
establishing
a
housing
authority
here
in
San
Bruno
began
to
protect
the
housing
redevelopment
increment?
B
That's
a
snapshot
of
the
various
strategies
that
the
person
is
so
very
closely
involved
in
redevelopment
are
recommending.
We
are
recommending
tonight
that
you
give
us
direction
to
take
a
hard
look
at
these
in
any
other
strategies
that
might
present
themselves
over
the
over
the
next
days
and
weeks,
and
that
you
ask
us
to
report
back
to
you
at
your
next
council
meeting
on
the
status
of
these
various
strategies
in
any
potential
immediate
action
items
with
that.
I
will
stop
and
ask
you
to.
Let
me
if
you
have
any
questions,
do.
A
D
Go
thank
you.
I
think
you
were
very
detailed
and
what
is
getting
down
to
a
three
developm,
which
is
a
concern.
It
seems
that
my
understanding
is
contractual
obligations
that
we
may
have
IE
the
police
plaza
the
equipment
reserve.
The
housing
are
things
that
we
may
be
able
to
hold
on
to
because
it's
under
that
umbrella.
D
Now
it's
not
a
guarantee,
but
that's
the
way
it
looks
like
it
could
be
going
at
this
point.
But,
however,
we've
talked
about
other
ideas,
thoughts,
concepts
at
Huntington
and
salmon
roe
Avenue.
Obviously
that
would
not
protect
any
future
endeavors
that
we
would
have
so
I
would
like.
When
we
come
back
to
figure
out
what
we
can
do
quickly.
C
And,
on
the
other
side
of
the
coin,
we
need
to
fight.
We
need
to
fight
along
with
leader,
cities
and
all
the
other
cities
through
the
state
and
say
no
way
no
way.
I
mean
this
is
ten
years
and
we've
we've
worked
so
hard
for
the
last
10
11
years
to
implement
redevelopment,
and
we
have
a
lot
to
show
for
it,
and
we
have
big
plans,
we're
not
going
to
start
over
again
and
what's
going
to
happen,
they
you
know
their.
C
C
D
B
A
A
B
A
B
Absolutely
and
you
don't
necessarily
if
that's
the
concurrence
of
the
City
Council,
we
have
done
that
in
the
past
at
the
mayor's
Authority
I
think
identifying
that
you
are
all
behind
that
and
that
that
kind
of
information
can
be
included
in
a
letter.
I
think
is
important.
The
other
thing
that,
from
time
to
time
comes
up
is
there
will
be
press
conferences
scheduled
in
a
very
quick
manner,
sometimes
or
rallies
or
other
types
of
initiatives
to
have
groups
of
City.
Council
persons
go
talk
to
legislators.
B
Well,
appreciative
of
any
and
all
City
Council
members
actually
engaging
personally
in
those
types
of
initiatives
because
it
can
go
on
and
it
gets.
You
know
it's
wearing.
We've
been
at
this
for
a
really
long
time,
and
not
this
particular
one,
but
this
series
of
threats
to
the
stability
of
local
revenues,
so
I
I
would
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
be
able
to
keep
you
informed
about
that
and
call
on
you
as
may
be
necessary
from
time
to
time.
Okay
need.
A
I
move
that
we
as
a
council
support
and
any
action
that
the
mayor
needs
to
take
and
the
city
count.
The
city
manager
needs
to
take
in
between
city
council
meetings
to
support
the
defense
of
our
redevelopment
agency.
A
second
okay
there's,
a
motion
on
the
second
on
the
floor
on
a
question
all
those
in
favor
hi
great.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
B
A
The
chair
Michael
one
more
question
when
we
spoke
previously
regarding
this
topic.
You
mentioned
also
that
there
is
a
portion
of
the
redevelopment
money
that
goes
back
to
the
general
fund
to
help
subsidize
some
portion
of
activities
that
take
place
in
community
development
and
I'm
wondering
when
we
go
to
plan
out
our
next
budget.
Are
we
or
would
you
suggest
that
we
not
include
a
contribution
from
redevelopment
into
the
budget?
A
B
As
I
believe,
the
finance
director
discussed
as
part
of
the
audit
presentation,
is
that
one
of
the
one
of
the
big
threats
to
next
year's
budget
is
this,
and
the
primary
reason
is
not
because
they're
threats
to
the
general
fund
there's
this.
This
threat
has
many
different
facets
to
it.
The
elimination
of
redevelopment
and
the
ability
to
build
the
you
know
do
do
what
redevelopment
was
intended
to
do
is
a
huge
threat
to
the
future
of
san
berdo.

It
I
think
the
governor
might
argue
that
well
you're
going
to
be
you're
going
to
receive
additional
revenue,
because
tax
increment
is
not
going
to
take
away
as
it
does
currently
from
taxes
that
would
otherwise
be
seat
received
by
taxing
entities
and
I
should
have
mentioned
this
earlier.
The
city
of
San
Bruno
is
a
relatively
low
property
tax
city
and,
as
you
probably
know,
proposition
13
distributed
property
taxes
in
a
different
way
among
taxing
entities
among
different
cities,
so
some
cities
might
receive
some
city
has
received
no
property
tax.
B
Some
cities
receive
five
percent
of
the
property
tax.
That's
collected
in
their
community
some
receive
as
much
as
25
or
26
percent
of
the
property
tax
collected
in
their
city.
All
of
that
is
based
on
formulas
that
were
set
in
cement
with
the
passage
of
proposition
13.
Many
years
ago,
city
of
san
berdo
receives
roughly
twelve
to
thirteen
percent
of
the
property
tax
dollar
that
is
collected
in
the
city
of
san
bruno.

The
budget
is
approved
by
the
state
legislature
and
court.
It's
it's!
It's
not
done
by
the
voters.
There
is.
There
are
some
questions
about
from
a
legal
perspective
about
whether
this
the
legislature
and
the
government
hit
our
governor.
Have
the
authority
to
eliminate
redevelopment
which
has
some
status
in
the
state
constitution,
but
it
is
the
budget
itself
and
the
proposal
to
eliminate
redevelopment
is
not
currently
scheduled
to
come
before
the
voters.

I
think
it's
probably
just
the
beginning,
even
if
the
legislature
tries
to
take
the
money
that
there'll
be
litigation
over
whether
or
not
they
have
the
authority
to
do
it,
whether
or
not
its
constitutional
under
the
state
constitution,
whether
it
violates
Prop,
22
all
those
issues,
so
they
could
be
in
play
in
court
afterwards
if
the
state
goes
through
with
the
plan.
But
it's
all
it's.
What
I've
heard
is
it's
a
plan?
That's
just
it's
bit
it's
a
plan
and
that's
the
beginning
of
the
discussions
and
the
legislature.
