Description
San Bruno City Council Budget Study Session June 2, 2010
A
C
Thank
you,
Miss
America,
City
Council.
Before
we
move
into
the
new
topics
that
are
scheduled
for
tonight's
presentation,
we
wanted
to
spend
just
a
few
moments
to
finish
off
the
tail
end
of
our
conversation
with
you
last
night
regarding
the
general
fund
operating
budget
and
in
particular
it
was
not
my
intent
to
spend
any
specific
time
going
through
even
the
city
manager's
office
and
council,
the
elected
city
clerk
of
the
city
treasurer's
office
in
any
particular
detail,
primarily
because
those
budgets
are
relatively
smaller
and
at
virtual
status
quo
level.
C
We
are
happy
to
take
any
questions
or
comments
that
you
have
what
I
could
do
for
just
a
second,
because
I
did
commit
to
an
opportunity
for
the
city
attorney
to
talk
to
you
about
that
department's
budget
she's
she's
ready
at
the
table
there.
So
if
we
could
start
there
and
then
jump
back
to
any
tail
end
of
items
or
issues
for
the
general
funds
and
we'd
like
to
move
forward
into
the
enterprise
funds
and
some
special
revenue
funds
that
will
be
the
agenda
for
tonight.
Hey.
D
Well,
mr.
mayor
members
of
the
City
Council,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
with
you
this
evening
about
my
budget.
You
know
the
goals
that
are
contained
in
the
package
are
specific
and
I
really
think.
Instead,
they
should
be
articulated
this
way
that
the
goal
of
the
legal
department
is
really
to
minimize
legal
risk
and
the
attendant
financial
exposure
to
the
city.
In
these
uncertain
times,
I
would
just
emphasize
that
I
think
that
the
need
is
greater
and
not
less.
Now,
as
you
know,
the
need
for
legal
sort
resources
arises
from
excuse
me.
D
Now
the
delivery
of
those
services
are
come
through
three
sources:
city
attorney,
legal
secretary
and
special
counsel
services.
As
you
know,
you
have
one
full-time
city
attorney.
That's
me
and
I
have
three
quarters
of
a
secretary
who
assists,
and
just
so
it's
clear
do
you
want
to
emphasize
that
she's
basically
been
running
the
tort
program
for
these
many
years
and
has
been
excellent
at
doing
that.
D
She
also
provides
backup
and
support
for
HR
and
with
the
loss
of
the
HR
secretary,
we
are
having
to
realign
how
some
of
the
reception
services
are
delivered
and
also
when
she's
absent.
There
is
because
she
fills
in
for
the
well
one
quarter
of
her,
provides
workers
comp
support,
so
when
she
herself
is
absent,
that
prove,
creates
a
bigger
burden
in
the
HR
department
as
well,
so
it
works
kind
of
both
ways.
But,
lastly,
and
most
importantly,
for
your
budgetary
consideration
is
the
issue
of
outside
counsel
or
special
counsel
services.
D
We
also
utilize
what
we
call
a
bag
panel,
Council,
which
is
discussed
in
the
self
insurance
and
liability
section
in
your
books,
I
think
at
page
271,
and
we
utilize
those
to
address
particular
kinds
of
cases
that
are
covered
by
it's,
not
exactly
insurance,
but
it's
pooled
risk
that
we
use
their
one
thing
we
that
is
currently
under
discussion
with
the
finance
department
is
whether
we
should
add
an
additional
type
of
protection,
and
that
is
employment,
discrimination
insurance.
So
that's
under
investigation
at
this
time
through
the
finance
director
in
utilizing
outside
counsel.
D
D
So
we
have
been
consistent
over
the
past
few
years
in
keeping
to
the
same
range
this
year
to
date
for
all
funds
other
than
for
your
self
insurance
fund.
So
all
funds,
whether
it's
general
fund,
water,
cable,
redevelopment,
developer
or
capital
projects,
comes
to
currently
about
300,000
dollars
for
all
funds,
with
not
counting
for
any
offsets,
for
example,
with
the
developer
reimbursement
which
currently
runs
to
about
40,000.
So
far,
this
year,
probably
will
be
60,000
and
by
the
end
of
the
fiscal
year.
D
What
that
means
is
those
are
amounts
that
will
kind
of
come
off
of
that
bottom
line,
because
the
developer
is
paying
for
those
legal
services
directly
and
from
the
general
fund,
roughly
one
hundred
thousand
dollars
at
this
point
year.
Our
target
is
to
keep
it
within
the
budgetary
constraints
of
last
year,
150
thousand
dollars,
and
it
looks
like
we're
on
target
to
do
that
also
this
year.
So
we
are
not
looking
for
any
particular
changes.
D
They
are
basically
keeping
to
the
same
level
of
service
and
the
same
expenditures
that
is
consistent
with
our
expenditures
in
the
last
couple
of
years,
and
also
periodically
you
receive
sort
of
a
five-year
picture.
For
me,
it
is
consistent
with
that
as
to
any
changes
that
we've
made
to
program
services
or
deliveries.
A
couple
of
changes
have
made
in
the
department
to
try
and
reduce
expenditures.
One
was
to
try
to
move
from
always
the
necessity
to
have
the
legal
books
in
the
paper
format
to
electronic,
where
that's
been
feasible
and
practical
practicable.
D
So
we've
done
that
and
also
as
you
know
this
year
I
instituted
a
pilot
program
using
the
services
of
some
pro
bono
attorneys
who
have
provided
their
services
for
free
and
those
are
attorneys
who
are
most
recently
graduated
from
law
school.
So
they
do
require
a
good
deal
of
supervision
and
can
only
work
on
limited
things,
but
so
far
that's
been
successful.
So
at
this
time
I
wanted
to
see
if
you
have
any
other
questions
for
me
speaking.
D
Know
that
is
an
excellent
question.
I
can
put
it
more,
probably
a
better
able
to
frame
it
in
the
amount
of
time
that
they
have
given
to
us.
Originally,
we
started
with
three
and
two
of
them
now
have
jobs,
which
is
great
for
them,
and
we
continue
to
have
one
other
attorney
and
she
puts
in
of
two
days
a
week
as
the
others
did
for
several
months
and
even
junior
attorneys.
You
know
at
any
basic
law
firm.
D
D
I'd
like
to
do
it
for
at
least
six
months
in
order
to
evaluate
the
effectiveness
and
the
issue
of
the
time
is
hard
to
quantify.
But
what
I
can
tell
you
is
that
with
any
piece
of
work
that
they
are
delivering,
they
may
go
off
and
research,
something
let's
say
they
put
in
20
hours
of
research
when
they
bring
back
to
me
a
product
either
through
an
oral
report
or
through
something
on
paper.
D
I
need
to
really
spend
a
good
amount
of
time,
sometimes
a
half
an
hour
or
45
minutes
going
through
with
them,
making
sure
that
they
really
understood
the
material
and
have
come
to
a
correct
recommendation
about
that,
and
also
does
require
me
to
do
my
own
check
by
spot-check
spot-checking
cases
that
they
have
read
or
relied
upon
and
considered.
So
it's
hard
to
quantify
in
the
hours.
But
I
would
say
it
does
take
a
concerted
effort
on
my
part
that
I
wouldn't
have
to
utilize.
B
Going
back
to
the
legal
services
line,
it
looks
like
those.
The
amount
is
fairly
consistent
across
years
and
I'm
wondering
the
in
certain
years.
I
imagine
there
are
greater
needs
to
bring
in
outside
assistance
and
some
years
you
may
not
need
very
much
at
all
and
I'm
wondering
how
that
amount
has
met
the
need
historically
and.
D
The
amount
for
the
Special
Services
Council.
Well,
you
know,
usually
it's
been
closer
to
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
the
way
I've
been
able
to
deliver
it
as
smaller
or
decrease.
The
amount
is
by
spreading
out
what
we
do
and
so
really
prioritizing
certain
things.
I
have
a
number
of
projects
that
I'm
not
starting
till
the
next
fiscal
year.
D
For
example,
last
year
a
major
project
was
to
revise
all
of
our
contract
forms
for
Public
Works
and
they
have
a
whole
new
procedure,
a
handbook
on
processing
those
those
contracts,
and
that's
really
been
wonderful,
but
the
other
component
that
goes
with
that
is
making
sure
that
the
municipal
code
is
structured.
Follow
that
same
structure
and
bringing
the
two
to
work
together
very,
very
well,
and
so
I
have
put
that
off
until
the
next
fiscal
year
were,
if
I
was
operating
at
the
same
level
before
with
two
hundred
thousand
dollars.
D
B
B
C
It's
it's
important
and
it's
significant
to
identify
that,
because,
with
the
the
tight
budget
philosophy
that
we
are
using,
we
are
unfortunately
also
subjected
to
some
annual
variation
in
costs
when
those
one-time
costs
do
incur,
but
we've
taken
the
route
and
that
I
think
it's
prudent
in
this
environment
to
avoid
budgeting
contingency
costs,
which
we
have
in
the
past
and
to
avoid
budgeting
as
an
example
again
the
election
costs
or
anything
that
resembles
that
years.
For
that,
obviously
it's
not
happening,
so
your
budgets
do
not
stay
actually
flat,
but
they
are
prepared
tightly
around.
C
The
strict
interpretation
of
the
necessary
operating
requirements,
in
particular
I,
would
call
out
a
couple
of
things.
The
city
council's
budget
is
intended
to
cover
the
stipend
that
does
not
resemble
a
salary
but
provides
a
very
small
amount
for
City
Council
members,
primarily
for
your
personal
expenses
associated
with
the
voluntary
responsibilities
of
city
council,
elected
official
office
and
the
budget
covers
the
baby.
C
In
the
the
other
aspects
of
the
city
council's
budget.
Again,
as
elected
officials,
you
have
responsibilities
to
represent
the
city
and
a
wide
variety
of
regional
organizations
and
activities,
and
there
is
a
relatively
modest
amount
of
resources
that
are
provided
to
again
provide
for
those
liver
ships,
but
also
to
cover
legitimate
minimal
expenses
associated
with
your
representation
of
the
city
in
those
in
those
venues
in
city
manager's
office
shino
consists
of
two
persons:
two
full-time
staff,
members,
myself
city
manager
and
the
executive
assistant
to
the
city
manager.
C
C
The
city
manager's
office
budget
includes
a
as
I
mentioned
before
does
not
include
any
amounts
that
are
intended
as
a
contingency.
That
was
a
feature
of
prior
year's
budgets
that
allowed
for
a
small
amount
of
something
unexpected
occurring
to
be
covered
within
the
city,
manager's
signature
authority
that
that
is
no
longer
case
and
that
we
and
again
we
have.
We
have
tightened
ass
down
based
on
historical
and
operation
at
historical.
The
utilization,
as
well
as
as
anticipated
operational
needs,
I
think
I'll
stop
there
and
take
any
questions
that
the
council
has.
C
E
C
I
I
think
there's
that,
as
well
as
as
an
example,
perhaps
initiating
a
little
evaluation
or
review
similar
to
what
we're
doing
with
the
shared
services
would
make
something
smaller
than
that
that
that
might
come
up.
That
might
require
a
little
bit
of
attention
honestly,
the
reason
I
deleted
it
was
that
we
have
not
typically
utilized
that,
and
we
have
the
opportunity
every
two
weeks
to
to
bring
something
to
your
attention.
F
G
C
C
No,
we
haven't
considered
that,
but
we
have
considered
an
alternative
strategy
and
I
believe
that
this
budget
has
not
been
adjusted.
Was
that
correct?
We
did
not
reduce
the
cost
for
focus.
Actually.
This
is
something
that
we
have
not
yet
brought
forward
for
the
council's
consideration
that
the
community
services
director
has
suggested
that
an
opportunity
may
exist
to
coordinate
the
production
of
focus
so
that
it
is
actually
produced
internal
to
the
recreation
guide
and
it
would
be
the
same,
look
and
same
content
as
the
focus
newsletter,
but
not
produced
a
mailed
separately.
E
F
C
Out
right
now,
three
times
a
year
focus
comes
out
four
times
a
year.
We
could
reduce
the
publication
schedule
for
focus,
I,
think
I'd
prefer
the
other.
My
recommendation
would
be
the
other
by
the
directors
suggestion
if
there
is
a
desire
to
reduce
that
budget,
simply
because
focus
has
continued
to
be
be
a
very
well
utilized
and
very
effective
way
of
communicating
with
the
public.
C
It,
as
I
said,
continues
to
be
probably
one
of
the
most
effective
ways
we
have
of
communicating
and
I
I
would
say
we
need
to
do
more
of
that,
rather
than
less
of
it
that
that's
just
my
that's
just
my
recommendation,
so
we
can
certainly
look
at
alternative
production
methodology.
So
that's
that
would
it.
E
C
C
B
Couple
more
things
stopped
going
back
to
do's
and
memberships
and
I
know
we
discussed
this.
We
touched
on
some
of
these
things.
When
we
looked
at
other
departments,
I
was
curious.
What
we
were
doing
overall,
with
the
entire
budget,
with
some
of
these
things,
so
I
went
back
last
night
and
added
some
of
these
numbers
up
and
we
looking
you
know
all
dues
and
membership,
special
events,
meetings
and
conferences.
C
E
C
Least,
under
on
the
bigger
ticket
items,
one
of
the
things
that
I
would
just
maybe
this
makes
your
makes
your
concern
worse,
but
just
in
the
for
the
benefit
of
full
disclosure.
The
personal
professional
development
amounts
that
are
part
of
our
contracts
with
mid
management
and
executive
level
management.
Employees
are
frequently
used
by
those
individuals
for
specifically
job-related
conference
training
enhancements
that
would
not
otherwise
be
provided
by
the
city,
but
have
a
direct
and
immediate
beneficial
impact.
I
can
give
you
a
couple
of
examples
that
occurred
just
in
the
recent
past
so
I.
A
Thank
you,
I'd
like
to
go
back
to
the
focus
a
little
bit
and
talk
about
it.
I
understand
why
we
might
look
at
putting
it
in
with
the
parking
rack
thing,
but
there
are
many
people
out
there
that
when
they
get
the
park
and
rec
they
don't
have
children,
they
don't
use
Park
and
Rec.
They
throw
it
away,
they
don't
even
open
it.
So
that's
discouraging
if
we
put
in
our
focus
and
the
same
kind
of
thing.
A
A
C
C
I
asked
that
in
making
the
transfer
to
another
staff
person
that
we
made
sure
that
we
were
maintaining
the
continuity
and
we
were
delivering
an
interrupted
service
instead
of
making
an
immediate
change,
but
I
think
we've
got
a
lot
of
good
ideas
for
how
we
might
minimize
costs
and
even
as
you're,
indicating
potentially
increase
our
communication
exposure.
So
what
I
do
look.
A
I
A
C
That's
that's
a
terrific
idea,
so
persons
who
would
be
benefited
by
that
could
tell
us
that
and
we
would
now
the
only
problem.
I
guess
there
is
one
problem
with
that.
We
use
a
bulk
mail
process
and
we
get
a
significantly
discounted
rate.
So
we
would
have
to
check
because,
if
you're,
if
you're
pulling
out
certain
addresses.
H
B
B
F
F
F
Gone
down
because
of
that
same
concern
in
the
budgetary
constraints,
the
one
thing
is
is
that
we
do
have
obligations
to
some
of
these
meetings
and
I.
Think
it's
pubes
at
every
one
of
us
up
here
to
be
mindful
and
I
know:
I
attended
a
meeting
in
Oakland
and
I
went
traveled
here
for
45
minutes
to
go
vote
and
left
so
that
it
would
save
the
city
$75
from
eating
their
lunch
and
having
to
sit
probably
listening
to
some
speaker,
maybe
I
would
or
would
not
have
wanted
to.
F
So
there
are
things
that
each
one
of
us,
I
think
can
be
mindful
of
go.
The
extra
step
lead
by
example,
but
I
think
we
need
to
be
conscientious
to
that.
Sometimes
we
we
need
to
be
at
some
of
those,
but
I
do
think
each
one
of
us
have
a
responsibility
to
to
do
be
mindful
when
we
have
expenditures
or
we
do
travel
or
I've
tried
to
reduce
anything
and
all
honestly
because
of
what's
occurring
good.
C
H
Mayor
councilmembers
good
evening
and
I
will
try
to
entertain
you
for
the
next
two
hours.
I
have
it
180,
but
public
service
department
bill
is
all
about.
As
you
know,
very
well,
public
services,
we
provide
basic
citywide
services
in
essence,
transportation,
drinking
water,
sewer
discharge,
Stonewater
a
solid
waste
and
also
provides
some
support
services
for
general
government
like
the
central
garage
in
order
to
provide
those
basic
services.
The
department
realize,
on
certain
systems
a
transportation
system,
water
systems
were
system,
stone,
water
system
and
to
be
able
to
achieve
that
role
to
administer
those
systems.
H
H
Overall,
you
can
see
from
a
general
review
of
the
proposed
budget
and
staffing
level
that
you
will
see
a
joder
line,
approach
and
strategy
through
all
of
those
divisions.
I
do
not
it's
not
my
intent
today
to
really
take
you
through
all
of
the
details
of
each
divisions
but
I've.
You
just
highlight
some
of
those
service
areas
and
to
bring
to
your
attention
some
of
the
important
challenges:
the
strategies
for
providing
those
services.
How
I
mentioned
in
the
beginning
that.
F
H
On
the
city
manager
direction,
our
department
were
focusing
developing.
This
budget
recommendation
applied
basic
strategies
across
the
board
through
all
of
our
service
area,
and
the
main
strategy
was
really
to
hold
the
line
and
to
improve
efficiency
as
much
as
possible
to
consider
shared
services
for
all
of
our
service
areas
and
also
to
take
in
consideration
and
to
address
the
regulatory
requirement
and
framework
in
which
those
services
are
provided
by
our
department.
I
will
start
with
transportation
and
just
the
city
manager
and
the
finance
director
yesterday.
H
H
You
can
see
that
at
least
for
the
last
two
years.
The
transportation
is
a
special
funding
and
is
acting
like
a
Enterprise,
Fund
or
special
fund
service
area
based
on
Proposition
42
was
established
a
mandatory
minimum
maintenance
effort,
which
was
a
requirement
of
the
proposition
42
that
each
agency,
in
order
for
the
agency
to
be
eligible
for
that
transportation,
funding
had
to
provide
a
mean,
a
minimum
maintenance
effort
for
transportation
and
for
San
Bruno
that
minimum
maintenance
effort
is
491
thousand
and
beginning
last
year.
H
That
was
the
allocation
for
transportation
funding
from
general
fund
the
last
year
and
based
on
the
direction
by
given
by
the
city
manager.
That
was
the
basic
assumption
developing
or
dis
year
budget
for
transportation.
Also,
the
audit
I
will
mention
here
that,
due
to
the
statewide
funding
changes
last
year,
how
you
are
aware
of
making
the
change
from
proposition
four
little
fun
to
excise
tax?
That
questioned
the
need
to
still
maintain
this
requirement
or
not
that
the
local
agencies
will
be
mandated
to
provide
this
minimum
general
fund
funding
for
transportation.
H
In
order
for
them
to
maintain
their
eligibility
for
other
transportation
funding,
this
question
wasn't
really
decided
yet
and
I
I
cannot
give
you
a
final
answer.
I
think
this
will
be
developed
in
time.
The
answer
for
that
question
the
intent
making
those
changes.
Never
the
intent,
was
to
provide
the
same
level
of
funding,
and
the
assumption
is
that
the
same
level
of
gas
tax
allocation
and
overall
funding
will
come
to
the
local
agency,
the
other,
the
main
transportation
funding
is
the
gas
tax
and
measure
a
funds.
The
gas
tax
trend
is
you
say
very
sustainable.
H
Is
a
sustained
level
of
funding
may
be
slightly
slightly
increasing
through
the
year
measure,
a
like
any
other
sale
text
based
funding
showed
a
decline
in
the
last
year.
Two
years,
and
now
you
see
a
lower
revenue
than
the
revenue
before
the
difference
is
about
100,000
versus
last
year,
if
I
recall,
right,
Caltrans
and
seeking
seeking
funding.
Those
are
very
stable,
ongoing
revenues
for
transportation.
As
you
see,
the
total
ongoing
yearly
revenue
for
transportation
is
about
2.4
million
our
street
operational
budget.
H
He's
a
mistake,
but
I
am
sure
you
are
figuring.
You
are
figuring
that
out,
but
sounds
good.
I
can
tell
you
that
that
only
just
the
difference
between
the
2.4
to
1.2
will
should
will
go,
for
that
is
basically
your
policy
choice
each
year
to
make
the
difference
between
or
how
that
bonding
bill
is
allocated.
What
what
kind
of
ordered
program
is
more
important
for
the
silly
see
to
the
city
to
allocate
those
fonts
sidewalk
program,
traffic
calming
street,
paving
rehabilitation?
H
That's
basically
the
revenue,
but
you
can
play
it
also
suc,
based
on
our
program
funding
for
this
year
and
based
on
the
budget.
What
you
have
in
front
of
you
wasn't
allocated
the
whole
revenue.
The
revenue
generator
this
year
is
not
allocated
entirely
in
this
year
budget
and
our
beginning
balance,
which
was
his
will
be.
Six
hundred
twenty
two
thousand
dollar
will
increase
by
the
end
of
the
year.
21
million.
That
really
means
four
hundred
thousand
from
this
year.
H
H
Instead
of
spending
that
money
and
to
program
that
money
this
year
now,
I
will
just
mention
that
its
audience
my
intend
to
come
back
to
you
with
a
presentation
of
the
pavement
management
program
to
make
some
recommendation
on
strategies,
but
based
on
our
yearly
revenue,
is
here
how
you
see
without
any
grand
at
2.4
level,
but
our
yearly
need
only
just
to
maintain
of
our
payment
condition
at
the
same
level
would
be
the
recommended.
Investment
on
yer
lee
basis
is
3.3
3.5
million
based
on
the
pavement
management,
as
recommended
by
our
consultant.
H
I
really
don't
have
anything
to
add
more
to
for
the
funding.
How
our
department
then
allocates
the
funding
is
based
on
different
type
of
level
of
need
is,
as
you
see,
they
are
minimum
service
level,
which
are
very
much
safety-related
mandatory
services,
routine
maintenance,
urgent
response,
normal
best
management
practice
and
also
some
discretionary
services,
and
this
represents
that
1.2
million
in
street
operation.
What
you
have
included
in
your
budget.
I
alway
also
jean,
before
the
meeting
gave
you
this
handouts,
which
basically
includes
much
more
details.
H
How
this
program
area
are
really
defined
and
exactly
is
a
cert,
how
much
a
certain
outcome
is
cost
in
a
year
for
us
to
achieve,
and
you
can
study
that
at
and
if
you
have
any
question
about
it.
Certainly
I
can
follow
up
with
you
with
any
answer
you
have
in
at
the
front.
You
have
the
response
time
for
three
force:
transportation,
sewer
and
water,
and
then
you
have
to
service
the
outcome,
description
and
services
provided.
E
H
Federal
funding-
that
is,
the
era
phase,
one
stimulus,
federal
funding
and
that's
for
genuine
Parkway
and
crest
food.
Those
three
roads
will
be
paved
using.
That
feather
are
quantitative
water,
water
services.
I
already
mentioned
in
the
beginning
that
this
budget
is
entirely
in
line
to
beat
the
tenured
financial
plan
approved
by
you
last
year
and
beat
the
rate
study
and
the
rate
what
you
already
approved
last
year,
and
thank
you
very
much
for
making
the
hard
decision
last
year
and
making
sure
that
our
system
is
managed
at
a
reasonable
level.
Our
revenue,
yes.
H
This
imperative
for
us
to
meet
managing
the
system
at
a
acceptable
level
to
meet
those
mandatory
requirement
in
the
last
year
since
I
am
here.
The
is
not
the
type
of
this
for
the
city
by
any
means,
but
the
department
was
lucky
enough
to
have
audits
from
two
audits
from
the
Federal
Highway
Administration
for
our
transportation
projects.
H
Audit
of
our
water
system
by
the
State
Health
Department
audit
of
our
stormwater
procedure
by
the
regional
board,
and
certainly
you
are
aware
of
our
collaboration
with
the
Regional
Water
Board
board
on
sewer
related
issues
that
each
of
our
service
areas
during
the
last
year
were
audited,
at
least
once
that's.
The
reason
why
I
am
emphasizing
this
regulatory
framework,
which
is
very
critical
for
us
to
consider
developing
our
budget
over
water
budget,
reflect
the
holds
alarm.
H
The
only
additional
programs
included
in
our
proposal
is
to
increase
with
$10,000
over
toilet
program,
which
was
very,
very
popular,
and
the
city
ran
out
of
the
fonts
even
by
the
mid
of
the
year,
and
that's
why
I
use
a
recommendation
to
increase
that
program.
Water
conservation
program
with
$10,000
and
also
to
eat,
to
include
a
new
program,
is
called
cash
for
grass
pascua
you
just
working
on
this
program,
yet
the
main
intent
is
to
provide
financial
incentive
for
the
residents
to
act,
to
change
their
landscape.
H
H
H
Here's
a
outstanding
financial
liability
for
all
of
the
agencies
that,
in
the
new
contract,
was
included
a
so
called
entering
water
allocation
by
PUC,
which
POC
had
the
right
to
impose
those
interim
water
allocation
and
to
develop
those
by
the
end
of
this
year.
Those
possible
impacts
and
consequences
be
referred
considered
by
us
how
those
will
become
by
not
the
wastewater
Enterprise
spawned
its
was
developed
under
the
same
basic
assumption.
H
H
You
are
ready,
made
that
decision,
and
you
made
that
decision
supporting
us
to
be
able
to
do
it
with
the
decision
that
you
made
last
year,
but
still
will
be
high
expectations
to
produce
fast
results.
And
in
order
for
us
to
be
able
to
produce
fast
result
and
to
reduce
the
number
of
SSO,
the
department
will
need
to
implement
a
balanced
approach
with
the
long-term
proactive
approach
and
also
the
short-term,
proactive
maintenance
program
to
be
able
to
lower
the
number
of
us
ourselves.
H
Our
budget
proposal
includes
that
approach
using
that'd
steal
a
based
on
the
ongoing
lawsuit
with
the
paper.
That
is
a
unknown
liability
in
our
proposed
budget.
It
is
our
expectation
that
our
budget
will
be
able
to
accommodate
whatever
the
outcome
will
be,
but
certainly
I
cannot
stay
that
with
certain.
You
will
depend
on
the
outcome
of
those
discussion.
H
The
Department
will
move
on
the
development
of
our
sewer
master
plan
and
developing
our
source
or
master
plan.
You
will
be
engaged
in
the
process
and
the
development
of
that
master
plan
will
give
us
even
more
certainty.
Hopefully,
what
is
the
level
of
certainty
now
on
stonewater
enterprise
fund,
our
total
ft
is
3.5.
H
3.05
I'm,
correcting
myself
and
based
on
the
new
npdes
permit
that
Willie
created
a
new
regulatory
environment
in
what
environment
our
stormwater
services,
you
need
to
be
provided,
anticipating
the
increased
requirements.
Is
our
recommendation
and
request
to
reallocate
a
point
6
ft
from
central
garage?
Who
is
our
recommendation
that
was
included
in
the
city
manager,
summary
of
ft
reduction
to
accommodate
the
financial
challenges
in
the
generic
one
over
my
recommendation
to
transfer
that
points
xfe
to
the
stone
butter,
Enterprise
Fund
and
to.
H
H
You
will
hear
and
I
that's
the
reason
why
I'm
not
spending
more
time
on
stone,
whether
enterprise
fund,
that,
as
you
recall,
the
department
started
to
work
on
our
stormwater
master
plan
development
last
year,
and
is
our
expectation
that
in
the
next
four
months
or
five
months,
that
master
plan
will
move
in
the
stage
of
finalizing
and
developing
policy
alternatives
and
that
we
are
required
more
engagement
on
your
part,
including
developing
financial
strategies,
addressing
the
long-term
needs
of
the
store
water
managing
performer
water
system.
The
last
two
services
that
I
really
want
to
mention.
H
I
really
don't
have
anything
important
to
highlight
and
the
central
garage
which
I
already
mentioned
in
my
comment
about
under
store
water,
that
considering
the
long
term
strategy,
reducing
the
number
of
equipment
in
our
fleet
and
maximizing
the
efficiency
of
our
fleet
was
reasonable
for
us
to
reduce
also
the
empties
needed
to
manage
that
fleet
reason.
Why
was
proposed?
Was
the
city
manager
proposed
a
reduction
of
points,
X
ft
from
central
garage?
C
H
The
services
provided
by
central
garage
on
more
the
response
time
how
fast
they
will
be
able
to
address
certain
equipment,
failure
and
will
have
a
impact
on
response
time.
But
it's
not
our
expectation
that
will
have
any
major
impact
based
on
the
fact
that
how
I
indicated
over
the
size
of
the
field
also
is
reduced
and
it's
our
expectation
to
be
further
reduced.
H
The
last
thing,
but
I
didn't
mention
in
my
discussion
support
was
our
focus
on
shared
services
and,
as
you
recall,
was
part
of
our
budget
proposed.
Don't
recall,
but
I
will
remind
you.
Anyhow
last
year
was
included
in
our
budget
strategy
to
contract
our
signal
maintenance
with
South
City
and
saving
money
and
increase.
H
H
Yes,
the
department
is
in
ongoing
discussions
and
meeting
with
both
beat
South
Siri
and
also
the
city
of
millbrae
to
to
work
on
meaningful
way,
how
to
share
services
or
to
maximize
maximize
efficiency
on
both
on
basically
each
of
our
departments,
those
discussions
or
not
finalized.
Yet
that's
why
you?
Don't
see
anything
specifically
proposed
here,
but
probably
the
next
step
without
Siri
will
be
to
jointly
share
certain
traffic
sign
to
share
our
sign
shop
in
many
possible
way.
H
The
city
of
San
Bruno
has
the
technical
capability
and
the
skill
set
to
to
prepare
and
develop
traffic
signs.
That
capability
is
very
limited
in
modeling
limited
in
south
city,
but
they
have
higher
number
of
batteries
or
more
resources
available,
and
our
discussion
is
now
are
on
how
to
breathe,
how
to
emphasize
28
/
agencies
ranked
and
then
to
combine
and
maybe
to
produce
those
signs
here
in
san
bruno
and
maybe
subsidy
at.
How
are
you
able
to
install
the
sign
up?
They
have
more
things.
There
are
many
many
other
possible
activity.
H
Ongoing
discussion,
shading
fleet
services,
both
with
millbrae
and
south
city
use,
looks
very
promising
right
now
with
millbrae
that
the
city
approach
them
before
to
help
us
with
their
sustainability
services.
They
have
a
very
strong
staff,
very
strong
expertise
in
sustainability
area
and
they
were
approached
before
if
they
would
be
willing
to
provide
some
kind
of
services
to
us.
They
were
not
open
before,
but
now
they
are
the
two
departments.
They
are
in
discussion,
how
what
that
shared
services
would
looks
like
or
how
could
make
sense,
and
that
would
be
possible.
H
In
the
same
time,
the
department
focusing
on
all
of
the
efficiency
improvement,
the
green
machine
really
all
of
the
commitments,
but
the
department
made
so
far
to
you.
Those
really
came
true
and
can
be
accounted
for.
The
savings
time
savings
and
money
savings
captured
by
the
department
buying
the
machine
and
also
anxiously
waiting
for
the
striping
machine
and
all
of
those
changes
really
will
enhance
the
efficiency
of
the
department
and
the
Department
will
be
able
to
provide
the
same
level
of
service
or
what
exactly
I
think
I
already
took
too
long.
F
Help
save
the
time
that
you
went
over
a
mind
and
if
I
recall
that
example,
you
talked
about
working
together
with
south
city
probably
saved
in
that
one
example
that
you
gave
earlier.
If,
if
ken
and
I
recall,
okay,
that
it
was
about
to
almost
twenty
five
thousand
dollar
savings,
credit
to
us
and
a
better
service
thats
hanging
provided
quit,
see
we're
doing.
Okay,
I
recall.
F
I
was
using
to
saying
that
and
I
will
I
can
pass
on
my
written
request
to
the
finance
direction,
the
city
manager,
but
so
we
have
to
jump
back
before
the
once
been
all
this
time
under
contractual
services,
community
promotion,
operating
supplies,
Juicin
membership
and
publications
and
subscriptions
there
are
areas
within
various
divisions.
Oh
excuse
me
that
I
have
questions
and
one
further
thing
spelt
out
or
explanations,
but
I'll
do
that,
like
I
said
up
forward
that
information
over
to
to
them.
We
get
that.
A
H
A
There
I
haven't
seen
the
new
agreement
or
the
new
permit
stormwater
permit
I
understand
from
seek
academic
presentations
that
it's
tremendously
more
onerous
than
it
was
before
and
is
going
to
be
very
costly
for
us.
So
I
don't
know
if
we,
the
council,
like
a
brief
overview
of
it.
What
happened
before
was
with
the
storm
drain.
The
county
was
allowed
to
have
a
overall
permit
for
ten
thousand
dollars,
so
we
all
contributed
the
small
amount
and
we've
got
an
overall
permit.
A
Now,
that's
that's
not
going
to
be
the
case
anymore
and
the
requirements
for
stormwater
runoff
and
what
can
be
run
off
are
going
to
be
much
more
rigorous
and
there's
we're
going
to
have
to
do
a
lot
of
things.
I,
don't
I'd
love
to
hear
more
about
it.
Maybe
some
council
meetings
after
the
budget
and
then
I
just
want
to
comment
on
the
work
you
guys
did
with
the
staff
we
have
is
remarkable.
It's
amazing
how
much
you
guys
do
the
other.
A
The
other
thing
I
want
to
commend
you
on,
as
in
this
financially
difficult
times
that
you
increase
the
budget
or
proposing
to
increase
the
budget
for
the
toilet
and
wash
machine
rebates.
It's
going
to
be
very,
very
crucial
that
we
conserve
as
much
water
as
we
can
and
the
rebates
have
found
be
been
found
to
be
extremely
effective
and
efficient.
So
I'm
glad
we're
doing
that.
If.
H
I
can
just
respond
to
universe.
Americana
was
to
address
on
stone
water,
nuoc
MPD.
As
new
requirement.
Our
budget
includes
the
short-term
need.
Portis
is
a
short-term
need
to
comply
with
upcoming
next
year
requirements.
His
own
will
be
out
in
10
was
part
of
the
master
plan.
Discussion
to
really
include,
and
all
of
the
programs
which
will
be
need
will
need
to
be
too
dead
in
long-term,
and
my
recommendation
would
be
to
have
that
discussion
was
part
of
the
master
plan.
Discussion
focused
on
okay.
A
E
J
G
Honorable
mayor
members,
city
council,
good
evening,
it
is
my
privilege
this
evening
to
provide
you
with
an
overview
of
the
cable
television
department
budgets.
The
cable
television
department
consists
of
three
divisions
which
are
San:
bernal,
cable,
TV,
with
city's
cable
television,
Enterprise,
sembrano,
cable
channel,
one,
the
local
origination
division
and
the
technology
support
division
and
internal
services
fund.
The
cable
television
department
operates
with
a
staff
of
twenty
three
full-time
and
five
to
seven
part-time.
Temporary
employees
of
the
23
full-time
employees,
19
are
in
cable,
television,
1
and
local
origination
and
3
and
technology
support.
G
The
part-time
temporary
employees
are
in
the
local
origination
division.
These
part-time
employees
provide
video
production
assistants
on
an
as-needed
basis,
as
provided
by
owen
here
this
evening.
The
proposed
cable
television
budget,
as
provided
in
your
budget
packet,
is
a
summary
of
three
budget
segments,
as
shown
in
the
slide.
The
first
segment
represents
the
budget
for
the
established
business
operations
of
San
bernal
cable.
In
this
section
we
have
captured
the
existing
residential
cable
internet
and
phone
service
business,
and
the
financial
projections
are
based
on
the
long-term
trend
and
basic
cable
subscribers.
G
The
recently
adopted
rates
for
cable
services
and
the
full
recovery
of
actual
operating
costs.
The
second
segment
represents
the
budget
for
the
new
business
or
the
commercial
services
operations.
This
segment
captures
the
proposed
revenue,
opportunities
and
anticipated
expenditures
of
the
commercial
data
and
phone
service.
Business
essentially,
is
an
updated
section
of
the
five-year
commercial
services
financial
model
that
was
presented
to
the
City
Council
last
year.
G
The
work
program
is
to
generate
300
new
business
phone
accounts
and
35
dedicated
internet
access
accounts,
and
the
third
segment
is
a
proposed
direct
sales
or
daughter
door
marketing
campaign
budget.
To
my
knowledge,
if
approved,
this
would
be
the
first
to
door-to-door
campaign.
In
our
nearly
40-year
history.
As
such,
we
are
segmenting
this
activity
to
show
both
the
revenue
and
expense
impact
on
the
cable
fund.
This
the
plan
is
to
generate
approximately
3500
new
revenue
generating
units
which
also
includes
new
customers.
G
G
We
have
purposely
segmented
the
budget
into
these
three
segments
to
not
only
provide
the
City
Council,
with
a
better
understanding
of
the
various
components
of
the
proposed
cable
budget
and
the
impact
that
each
of
these
segments
have
an
enterprise
fund
balance,
but
also
to
enable
the
City
Council
to
provide
with
clear
direction
to
provide
us
with
clear
direction
on
the
proposed
work
program.
Also,
should
you
direct
staff
not
to
pursue
the
direct
sales
campaign?
The
budget
can
be
easily
revised
to
reflect
that
direction.
G
As
a
city
council
is
aware,
the
franchise
fees
and
equity
earnings
transfer
to
the
general
fund
are
based
on
a
percentage
of
revenues.
So
any
deviation
from
the
revenue
projections
will
impact
the
income
of
the
city's
general
fund.
I.
Think
our
revenue
projections
are
conservative.
While
we,
while
we
could
be
highly
successful
and
blow
through
our
projections,
we
could
also
miss
the
mark.
In
the
event
we
completely
fail
to
deliver
on
the
commercial
services
plan
or
and
the
direct
sales
campaign.
G
G
Slide
hasn't
been
changed
and
the
equity
running
strands
per
Section,
so
those
components
added
up
to
10,000
681,
the
37,000
630,000,
623
and
50,000.
It
adds
at
five
hundred
thirty
thousand
dollars,
so
those
would
not
materialize
if
we
don't
meet
those
meet
the
revenue
projections.
As
shown
fiscal
year,
2009-10
has
been
a
bittersweet
year
for
sembrano
cable.
It
has
been
a
year
of
much
progress
and
also
have
much
decline.
G
While
we
have
successfully
completed
a
commercial
services
project
and
have
embarked
on
a
path
to
provide
data
and
phone
services
to
the
large
underserved
business
community,
we
have
also
experienced
a
loss
of
over
800
residential
cable
customers.
I
see
large
underserved
in
describing
the
business
community
because,
according
to
the
finance
directors
presentation
last
night,
there
are
3500
businesses
that
annually
to
renew
the
business
license
with
the
city
and
I,
say
underserved,
because,
unlike
residents,
who
can
choose
from
San,
bernal
cable,
directv
dish,
network
and
AT&T,
businesses
are
pretty
much
limited
to
80.
G
So
our
challenge
in
fiscal
year
2010-11
will
be
to
address
both
of
these
issues,
to
establish
a
system
to
grow
the
new
business
segment
while
simultaneously
ensuring
the
continued
subscriber
growth
and
retention
in
established
cable
business,
and
we
need
to
achieve
both
of
these
priorities,
with
continued
focus
on
paring
down
the
debt
and
deficit
that
has
been
accumulating
since
fiscal
year.
Two
thousand
seven
eight
from
previous
capital
investments
to
ensure
the
future
viability
of
the
cable
enterprise,
as
articulated
by
staff
during
the
May
eleventh
cable
rate
review
presentation
to
the
City
Council.
G
One
of
the
biggest
challenges
facing
sembrano
cable
is
the
rising
cost
of
programming.
Despite
a
membership
in
the
National
cable
television,
cooperative,
a
purchasing
organization
representing
some
thousand
independent
cable
companies
and
their
own
efforts
to
negotiate
the
best
rates,
our
programming
costs
have
risen
by
almost
twenty-two
percent.
Over
the
last
two
years.
G
Many
networks
whose
long-term
contracts
with
NCTC
had
expired,
took
the
opportunity
to
reset
their
rates
at
much
higher
levels
and
in
the
case
of
Showtime
network
networks,
since
the
nccc
could
not
reach
an
agreement
with
the
network,
san
bruno
cable
had
to
contract
directly
with
Showtime
to
maintain
the
existing
level
of
services
for
our
customers
and,
in
the
case
of
Comcast
SportsNet.
The
network
split
the
rsn
of
the
regional
sports
net
into
two
and
initially
proposed
to
increase
rates
by
as
much
as
hundred
sixty
percent.
G
Today,
after
over
a
year
of
negotiations
and
filing
program
access
complaint
with
the
Federal
Communications
Commission
we're
still
being
presented
with
a
rate
that
is
hundred
percent
more
than
what
we
are
paying
comcast
in
2008,
although
at
sixty
percent
reduction
is
good.
We
continue
to
negotiate
with
comcast
further
and
during
the
Q&A
section
of
the
May,
eleventh
cable,
regularly
presentation
may
ring.
You
had
asked
whether
the
retransmission
consent
fees
were
reflected
or
captured
in
the
proposed
rate
increase
amount.
I
would
like
to
clarify
today
that
the
answer
is
both
yes
and
no.
G
It
is,
it
is
yes,
because
we're
able
to
strike
all
the
retransmission
contents
consent
deals
by
either
bartering
service
for
service
or
by
trading
value
for
value
by
bartering
service
for
service
I
mean
we
exchange
advertising
time
for
retransmission
consent
and
but
and
by
trading
value
for
value.
I
mean
we
agreed
to
carry
a
new
channel
offered
by
the
station
for
retransmission
consent.
G
These
costs
are
already
absorbed
absorbed
in
our
rate
structure,
so
there
are
they
reflected
in
the
rates.
The
answer
is
also
no,
because
we
did
not
truly
make
an
outright
cash
payment
for
the
retransmission
consent,
since
there
were
no
direct
cash
payments
to
broadcasters.
A
rate
increase
on
the
limited
basic
tier
of
service
was
not
recommended
by
staff.
As
you
as
you'll
recall,
we
have
avoided
paying
cash
payments
to
broadcasters
for
the
current
three
re-transmission
cycle,
which
ends
in
december
two
thousand
eleven
based
on
industry.
G
News
I'd
like
to
take
this
opportunity
not
to
alarm
but
to
forewarn
the
City
Council
that
we
may
not
be
so
lucky
in
the
next
week.
Transmission
consent
cycle.
Unless
there
are
some
major
changes
in
the
law
governing
broadcast
stations,
there
are
ten
broadcast
stations
that
electric
transmission
consent
during
each
cycle
and
if
each
of
them
decides
to
charge
fifty
cents
monthly
license
fee,
we
could
be
considering
a
five
dollar
rate
increase
eighteen
months
from
now
to
cover
such
fees.
G
So
that
is
a
possibility
depending
how
then
there's
also
a
major
shift
underway
in
consumer
behavior,
as
articulated
by
many
industry
experts.
I
heard
speakers
at
recent
industry
conferences
state
that
consumer
behavior
is
changing
from
a
Leanback
approach
to
a
lean
forward
approach
where,
instead
of
leaning
back
in
a
lazy
chair
to
watch
a
program,
consumers
are
leaning
forward
for
a
more
a
more
interactive
experience.
Consumers
want
to
be
part
of
the
activity
to
be
able
to
comment
on
what
they
are
viewing
with
the
availability
of
really
fast
internet
service.
G
A
lot
of
video
content
is
becoming
available
to
consumers
by
the
internet
and
with
more
and
more
popular
content
becoming
available
over
the
Internet.
Many
consumers
are
switching
for
the
new
experience
and
to
save
money
as
well.
Although
much
of
the
content
is
available
online
today
for
free,
that
may
not
be
the
case
in
the
future.
The
industry
response
to
the
shift
in
consumer
behavior
is
resulting
in
continued
evolution
and
product
and
services.
The
mantra
today
is
TV.
Everywhere
cable
companies
are
making
progress
in
bringing
the
video
experience
to
every
device
anywhere
at
any
time.
G
Technology
is
available
today,
we're
four
to
six
programs
can
be
recorded
simultaneously
on
a
central
recording
device
and
then
shared
or
playback
on
all
different
TV
sets
that
are
connected
to
that
recording
device,
there's
technology
being
developed
that
enables
the
remote
controlling
of
a
DVR
through
mobile
devices
such
as
IP,
IP,
phones,
iPhones
and
google
phones,
etc.
This
technology
will
allow
you
to
set
a
recording
of
recording
of
a
program
or
wheeling
of
a
recording
of
a
program
over
a
mobile
device.
G
G
Especially
for
little
kids
like
you
want
to
watch
a
show
and
then
family,
the
parents
did
you
go
somewhere
and
they
can
continue
watching
it
in
the
minivan.
So
it's
a
very
interesting
things
yeah,
but
for
these
technologies
to
really
take
off
faster
and
faster
internet
speeds
and
ubiquitous
wireless
broadband
coverage
is
needed.
Cable
companies
are
deploying
docsis
3.0
service
for
faster
internet
service
and
are
also
partnering
with
3g
and
4g
wimax
service
providers
to
expand
the
service
put
footprint
and
enable
these
new
technologies
for
the
customers.
G
Cable
company
is
also
beginning
to
create
web
portals
for
online
content.
To
retain
video
subscribers
to
retain
video
subscriptions
and
3d
content
is
also
right.
Around
the
corner,
currently
es
pin
is
the
only
cable
network
with
a
3d
product
and
discovery
networks
is
right
on
its
heel
with
a
product
launch
sometime
next
year.
So.
G
Ready
glasses
to
watch
team-
oh
so
that's
yeah,
pretty
close!
In
our
case,
we
have
kept
up
with
every
key
in
the
key
industry
initiative
and
have
met
customer
demands
for
new
services
to
ensure
the
long-term
viability
of
the
cable
enterprise.
We
cost-effectively
met
FCC
mandates
and
reclaim
bandwidth
for
expansion
of
product
and
services,
but
converting
to
an
all
digital
system.
As
a
result
of
this
conversion,
we
have
been
able
to
offer
over
150
new
channels
over
the
last
two
years.
We
were
also
utilizing
the
reclaim
bandwidth
to
provide
dr.
G
three
point
of
Internet
service
of
up
200
megabits
per
second
coming
up
in
July,
we
diversified
a
product
mix
to
include
digital
phone
service,
and
today
we
provide
residential
phone
service
to
to
over
900
customers.
We
upgrade
our
infrastructure
to
further
expand
a
product
mix
to
include
commercial
services.
Today
we're
position
to
provide
business
phone
and
dedicate
internet
circuits
to
end
of
any
capacity
to
local
businesses.
G
We
are
currently
in
the
process
of
demoing
multi-room,
centralized
DVR,
recording
solution
for
customers,
we're
also
working
with
ESPN
to
get
the
ESPN
3.com
online
content
on
our
website
as
well
as
council
is
aware.
Sample
of
cable
has
been
experiencing
a
steady
decline
in
cables
subscribers
of
the
last
decade
at
a
rate
of
about
250
per
year,
due
to
a
variety
of
reasons,
including
increasing
competition
and
lack
of
programming.
G
The
economy
has
caused
a
lot
of
people
to
relocate
us
to
and
from
San
Bruno,
so
many
of
the
new
residents
are
not
familiar
with
Seminole
cable,
so
a
door-to-door
campaign
may
be
an
effective
tool
to
get
to
the
customer
first.
The
good
of
the
good
thing
of
the
other
good
thing
about
this
campaign
is
that
it
is
commission-based,
so
we
incur
costs
only
when
there's
a
sale
despite
these
subscriber
losses,
cembran
of
cable
has
a
subscriber
penetration
of
fifty
six
point.
G
Six
percent
today
compared
to
the
industry
rate
of
forty
nine
point
three
percent,
so
we're
still
ahead
of
the
industry
curve
in
terms
of
retaining
our
customers
and
maintaining
a
high
up
two
households.
So
in
summary,
for
the
cable
operations,
we
continue
to
remain
focused
on
growing
the
business
delivering
external
excellent
customer
service.
Despite
the
six
photo
days
they
were
taking
and
ensuring
the
future
viability
of
the
cable
enterprise,
the
deployment
of
new
technology
and
a
product
diversification
strategy
and
pursuing
continued
pursuit
of
our
product
diversification
strategy.
As
we
stick.
G
If
we
stick
to
the
five-year
financial
model
developed
last
year,
we've
eliminated
debt
by
2012
and
the
fun
deficit
by
2014.
That
concludes
my
presentation
on
the
cable
side
and
talking
about
the
localization.
The
only
significant
change
the
local
origination
budget
is
the
addition
of
three
new
cameras
and
control
equipment
for
airing
city
council
meetings.
We
received
numerous
comments
from
citizens
about
the
quality
of
video
of
the
city
council
meetings.
G
B
G
G
Community
to
encourage
to
encourage
the
community,
so
so,
basically,
the
strategy
will
be
to
approach
it
from
the
four
different.
Each
will
be
signed
their
own
specific
areas
and
they
will
make
several
different
passes
through
throughout
the
community,
maybe
four
times
before,
they're
done
with
their
sales,
because
of
customers
being
home
or
not
being
home,
etc
and
the
the
way
we
pay.
The
commission
structure
is
based
on
actually
completing
a
sale.
In
this
case,
the
normally
the
door
to
door
contractors
require
at
least
three
times
the
amount
of
the
revenue
that
degenerate.
G
So,
for
example,
they
make
a
sale
that
is
fifty
dollars
for
service.
Then
they
requires
to
be
a
hundred
fifty
dollars
as
a
commission
three
times
of
the
amount.
The
discussion
that
we've
had
so
far
have
knocked
it
back
down
to
two
times
revenue
and
what
we'll
be
doing
is
we'll
be
using
that
extra
piece
to
provide
incentive
incentive
to
customer
as
a
free
period
so
to
allow
that
as
well.
So
those
are
some
of
the
different
strategies
that
were
pursuing
in
terms
of
establishing
the
cost
or
the
rate
for
for
the
commission
rate.
G
What
we
use
today
is
Bill
messages,
bill
answers,
direct
mail
pieces,
we
use
our
own
channels
cross
channel
promotions,
so
it's
so
the
and
then,
when
you
use
direct
mail
piece
and
send
it
to
all
households,
the
effectiveness
of
direct
mail
piece
is
so
limited
that
you
know
your
sin
hundred.
You
know
two
hundred
percent
of
the
customers,
maybe
eighty
percent
of
them
just
throw
it
away.
Twenty
percent
might
just
look
at
it
and
then
out
of
that,
maybe
even
two
percent
might
actually
do
something
about
it.
G
So
it's
not
the
most
effective
tool,
it's
good
and
getting
messages
out,
but
in
terms
of
generating
activities,
it's
very
not
highly
successful,
so
dododo
campaign
actually
with
there
some
reason
you
know
right,
they're
talking
about
a
product
and
we
think
that
it's
going
to
be
a
lot
more
effective.
It's
highly
used
by
the
industry.
We
think
that's
going
to
generate
additional
traction.
G
So
that's
some
of
the
some
of
the
ways
we're
going
to
pursue
in
terms
of
the
number
of
sales
be
antenna.
January
we're
looking
at
five,
thirty
thirty
five
hundred
the
person
the
contract
we're
talking
to
they
said
they
can
generate
about
fifty
sales
a
week,
so
we've
considerably
estimated
about
3500
sales,
so
essentially
I'll
be
pursuing
not
only
new
customers
and
selling
packages
to
those
customers,
but
also
hitting
or
visiting
existing
customers
and
offer
them
about
upgrading
them
to
additional
synthesis
tool.
So
that's
sort
of
the
okay
and
so.
G
C
To
that
just
to
clarify
for
the
council
members
question
of
the
only
direct
expense
of
the
program
is
a
an
expense
that
would
be
incurred.
However,
we
got
a
new
subscriber
at
the
if
we
need
to
purchase
additional
set-top
boxes
in
order
to
accommodate
the
customer
volume.
So
if
you
could
switch
back
to
the
slide,
it
shows
some
costs.
C
B
G
C
G
G
Order
to
generate
these
new
customers
say,
for
example,
if
you
bring
in
a
new
customer
that
is
a
triple-play
customer.
We
will
need
to
so
provide
that
customer
with
to
set
top
boxes
as
a
HD
would
have
to
provide
them
with
HD
box.
It's
internet
customers
provide
them
with
a
cable
modem,
so
their
equipment
involved
in
that
so
that
portion
of
that
capital
expenditure
is
shown
in
a
column
under
the
direct
sales
column
under
that
last
section
right
there.
G
The
other
thing
that
is
that
we
should
remember
is
that,
despite
the
fact
that
there
is
a
negative
impact
in
the
current
year,
the
year
of
the
campaign,
these
customers,
once
they're
on,
they
are
they'll,
be
there
for
with
us
in
the
second
subsequent
years
as
well,
so
that
in
the
subsequent
year,
there's
not
a
cost
equipment
class
anymore.
There's
not
a
commission
cost
any
more.
G
Their
programming
costs
and
customer
support
costs
associate
with
it,
but
those
capital
costs
and
and
acquisition
costs
are
limited
in
the
second
year,
so
they
end
up
producing
additional
revenues
for
the
city,
and
you
should
additional
net
cash
flow
for
the
city
in
subsequent
years.
So,
at
the
rate
that
were
before
joining
at
a
rate
of
two
and
a
half
percent
every
year,
you
know
we
continue
to
maintain
a
larger
large
base
of
our
subscribers.
Assuming.
G
I
mean
that's
really
dependent
on
the
just
the
whole
industry
and
the
way
things
are
changing.
So
given
that
I
think
it's
more
imperative
that
we
continue
to
pursue
something
like
this,
so
it
kind
of
confused
in
front
of
the
customer
and
generating
that
kind
of
activity,
and
for
many
years
our
marketing
budget
has
been
very
minuscule.
It's
been
fifty
thousand
on
a
10
million
dollar
budget,
which
is
hardly
anything.
So
we
need
to
really
expand
that
if
you're
going
to
continue
to
push
that
forward,
simcha.
B
J
C
B
A
welcome
package
that
includes
information
from
the
chamber,
cable
and
stuff,
or
do
they
have
to
get
directed
to
go
to
El
Camino
or
do?
Is
there
something
that
they
get
like
I
said
you
know,
welcome
to
San
Bruno
here
you
are,
and
these
are
the
services
we
provide
to
head
it
off
so
you're
not
trying
to
catch
up
absolutely.
G
I
think
we
have
in
the
past
provided
brochures
to
finance
department
and
we
also
provided
chamber
as
well
as
business
managers
indicated.
So
we
continue
to
do
that
and
I
think
we
need
to
step
that
up
given
the
environment
and
will
continue
to
work
with
finance
to
get
not
only
the
residential
customer
move
run,
but
also
the
business
movement
as
well.
B
E
That's
thing
that
and
I
think
you
got
the
corner
on
the
market
here
because
you
could
go.
We
were
mobile.
We
can
go
to
certain
things
and
not
necessarily
have
to
have
a
public
event,
maybe
go
to
a
empty
storefront
or
something
and
and
grab
people
and
grab
our
residents
residents
that
are
shopping
at
Bay,
Hill
or
going
to
a
certain
place
and
just
have
a
day.
Work
I
remember
used
to
give
stuff
away.
E
I
think
we
need
to
go
back
to
what
was
the
success
10-15
years
ago,
whatever,
when
we
were
building
up
subscribership
subscribers
plus,
you
know
raking
in
revenue
for
that
new.
You
know
for
that
whole
rebuild
stuff,
so
I
think
those
things
I
mean
those
were
successful
in
the
day
people
like
free
stuff,
but
people
also
like
to
see
you
know
what
the
product
is
instead
of
reading
all
of
these,
and
it
can
get
really
confusing
one
tier
three
tier
all
this
stuff
and
I.
Don't.
G
E
F
The
other
thing
to
piggyback
up
with
councilmember
I
Berra
said
I
think
I
would
go
back
to
the
old
days
to
when
I
work
for
the
city
parks
arrest.
There
was
just
known:
it
was
everywhere
the
banners
at
the
sporting
events,
the
participation
in
every
civic
group,
which
I
think
had
oil
t
by
those
that
participated,
that
volunteered
in
those
programs
and
activity,
or
even
whether,
with
a
sports
league,
the
schools
I'm
not
saying
that's,
not
done,
but
I,
don't
think
that
it
has
the
flavor
and
I.
F
Don't
think
it
has
the
exposure
that
it
did
and
I
think
when
they
perceive
or
believe
that
this
industry,
the
municipal
local
cable,
is
giving
back
to
the
community
and
provide
services
and
funds
to
promote
and
inspire
youth
to
participate
in
leagues,
have
tournaments
I.
Think
you
build
loyalty
that
way.
This
is
a
town
that
talks.
This
is
a
town
that
will
support
each
other
and
I.
Think
that
also
needs
to
be
promoted
more
than
just
door
to
door,
because
you're
right
ATT
with
the
phone
calls
and
the
mailers
and
the
door
to
door.
F
It
is
a
very
aggressive
campaign
and
there
are
people
switching
more
and
more
hundreds
that
we're
losing
and
I
think
we
have
to
maybe
go
back
to
basics.
Think
back
to
what
made
us
thrive
and
successful,
and
what
brought
pride
to
this
community
and
I
think
those
are
some
of
the
things
we
need
to
promote.
I
also
want
to
comment
because
I
opened
up
a
letter
from
samuel.
Cable
was
from
the
business
managers,
steve
Firpo,
I
thought
was
a
bill,
but
I
thought
it
was
too
soon.
So
I
was
glad
it
wasn't,
but
I
want.
F
Letter
that
tried
to,
though
uncomfortable
as
it
made
me
about
the
increase
it
actually
communicated
that
to
the
subscriber
wasn't
trying
to
hide
it
in
the
bill
and
get
all
the
phone
calls
later.
It
was
right
there,
letting
you
know
why
was
done
what's
going
to
happen
and
who
they
can
contact
in
case
they
needed
further
information
or
I
had
concerns
regarding
the
increase.
I
think
that's
proactive,
I
think
that's
a
benefit,
I
think
it's
communication
and
I
think
they
want
that
type
of
a
service
level.
E
G
What
I
like
to
express
to
you
is
that
when
I
came
on
board
seven
years
ago,
and
today
we
maintain
the
same
level
of
staffing
that
we
had
seven
years
ago,
we
haven't
increased
a
single
extra
body,
except
we
added
one
additional
warehouse
clerk
position,
so
I
want
to
emphasize
that
each
and
every
cable
employee
is
working
tremendously
hard.
In
terms
of
you
look
at
a
subscriber
the
products
that
we
offer
today
and
the
amount
of
work
that
has
been
accomplished
over
the
time
frame.
G
We've
made
significant
amount
of
progress
and
we
work
tirelessly
to
ensure
that
would
deliver
the
best
service
to
our
customers.
So
from
that
perspective,
I
think
we
are
on
point
and
we
continue
to
continue
to
focus
on
that.
I
think
we
can
continue
to
improve
our
visitor
in
the
community
as
constable
Medina
set
I
appreciate
your
comments
on
the
letter
that
was
developed
by
the
staff
we've
gotten
a
great
increase,
I
think
that
helped
alleviate
a
lot
of
the
burden
on
our
front
office
employees
as
well.
G
Better
compensation
would
have
increased,
received
bonuses
would
have
received
promotions,
etc.
That
a
lot
of
the
public
sector
employees
don't
really
see
in
fact
we're
working
with
a
six
day.
Work
follow
at
the
current
situation
and
we
also
want
to
continue
expand
that
provided
customer
services
be
24
hours
and
that
kind
of
stuff.
So
from
that
perspective,
if
there's
additional
funding
etc,
I
mean
we
can
look
at
those
and
continue
to
do
it
and
promote
and
grow
that.
G
But
you
know
we're
all
working
in
constrained
economic
times
constrained
budgets
and
we're
trying
to
do
the
the
most
amount
of
work.
It
cost
effective
cost
efficiently,
and
we
continue
to
focus
on
that
aspect
of
it.
So
I
will
go
back
and
we'll
continue
to
work
harder
in
terms
of
delivering
the
vision
of
the
City
Council
in
terms
of
getting
greater
visibility
for
our
community
for
our
service
etc,
and
will
continue
to
focus
on
the
work
program
as
outlined
in
the
budget.
I.
G
H
F
Operations
and
that
building
was
dedicated
on
el
camino,
which
I
was
there
for
that.
It
is
evolved,
the
technology
and
what
has
had
to
be
an
endure
by
staff
and
learn
by
staff
in
a
short
period
of
time,
and
that's
why,
when
I
always
reference
about
the
service
level,
it
is
not
a
reflection
upon
the
staff
that
we
have
and
a
diligent
job
that
they
do.
F
It
is
to
know
and
wonder
if
we
have
given
the
resources
that
are
necessary
in
order
to
be
competitive
in
today's
market,
because
there
is
only
so
much
you
can
ask
someone
there's
only
so
many
new
things
you
can
have
them
do
and
still
do
what
they're
doing
in
addition
to
what
we
just
ask
them
to
do.
So,
that's
why
I
always
oppose
those
questions.
It
I
know
what
the
staff
does
and
I
know
that
they
do
the
best
job.
D
G
I
think
with
the
budget
that
you
that
we
presented
you
with
actually
encompasses
that
I
mean
we've
gone
through
a
process
and
a
developed
a
budget
that
reflects
reflects
that
activity.
As
you
know,
I
mean
when
we
went
through
these
the
rate
increase
presentation.
It
was
a
challenge,
I
mean
you
know.
We
want
to
keep
our
rates
low,
we
want
to
try
to
continue
providing
the,
but
costs
are
going
up
and
we
can't
really
do
anything
about
it.
So
you
know
just
recognizing
those
things
were
the
budget
that
we
present.
G
G
Essentially,
the
operating
expenditures
for
that
division
is
relatively
flat
actually
down
about
15,000
over
last
year,
a
few
of
our
notable
accomplishments
this
year
included
the
upgrade
of
the
city's
core
data
network
infrastructure
to
enable
deployment
of
IP
telephony
and
the
retirement
of
the
Mitel
PBX
system
and
deployment
of
a
cisco
IP
telephony
system,
and
also
the
conversion
of
the
city's
telephone
service
to
san
bern
of
cable.
Where
we're
paying
ourselves
for
the
service.
We
also
began
posting
the
city
council
meetings
on
youtube
online
on
the
website
for
2010-11.
G
More
notable
work
effort
will
be
to
complete
the
disaster
recovery
project
that
we
talked
about
last
night
and
will
also
be
upgrading
our
microsoft
office
suite
applications
to
office
2010,
so
that
would
be
the
next
iteration
of
the
office
application.
So
those
are
things
that
would
be
pursuing
next
year
in
the
technology,
support
division
to.
F
The
chair
sure
much
simpler,
just
going
back
to
what
was
brought
up
last
evening
about
continuing
to
have
a
backup
system
in
place
that
we
had
had
thirty
thousand
dollars
allocated
to
complete
that
task.
We
stopped
that
due
to
budgetary
constraints
and
I
believe
that
was
again
to
have
it
stored
over
at
police
facility
police
plaza,
and
that's
again,
of
course,
if
anything
happens
here
which
is
earthquake
or
whatever
could
happen,
you
were
saying
that
that
is
being
low.
F
B
You
anything
else
for
gentle
one
comment
to
follow
up
on
Medina's
comment:
have
you
considered
using
another
municipalities
data
center,
as
the
dr
site
I
mean?
Is
that
something
that
could
be
incorporated?
I
mean
if
we
have
a
mutual
agreement
where
we
have
essentially
duplicate
equipment
at
another
municipality.
If
we
were
to
go
down,
we
could
resume
operations
not
only
protect
our
data.
They're
actually
resume
operations
from
another.
Actually.
G
You
make
your
raise
a
great
point
about
co-locating
away
from
our
own
city,
which
is
a
great
thing.
That's
and
that's
what
originally,
what
I'd
like
you
to
do?
What
I
like
to
do,
but
you
know
again,
to
get
to
another
location
again.
Is
it
costs
associate
with
it?
What
we
can
do
is
now
the
fact
that
we
have
a
presence
at
the
carrier
hotel
where
we
have
a
colocation
facility
there.
That
could
also
be
one
of
our
locations
where
we
could
house
obsessor
recovery
program,
tensile.
B
B
C
Are
and
I'm
going
to
start,
the
director
will
provide
a
little
bit
of
additional
information,
and
then
I
will
ask
the
community
development
director
to
talk
to
you
about
operational
initiatives.
The
essa
council
is
aware.
The
redevelopment
agency
operates
in
two
different
funds.
First,
is
the
redevelopment
operations
fun
that
is
representative
a
representative?
Eighty
percent
of
the
tax
increment
collective
in
each
year?
That
amount
is
unrestricted,
except
for
it
is
dedicated
by
law
to
redevelopment
purposes
and
again
the
director
will
talk
in
a
moment
about
operational
programs
that
are
envisioned
for
the
coming
year.
C
As
you
see,
there
is
a
staffing
allocation
that
is
funded
through
redevelopment
expenditures.
These
these
amounts,
actually
an
aggregate
represent
only
one
dedicated
full
time,
equivalent
individual,
who
is
fully
funded
through
the
redevelopment
agency.
That
is
our
redevelopment
and
housing
manager
and
the
remainder
of
the
staffing
for
the
redevelopment
operations
and
housing
programs
is
a
conglomerate,
I
guess
of
portions
of
individual
staff.
Persons.
Time
like.
C
The
gross
tax
increment
revenue
anticipated
to
be
received
by
the
agency
that
amount,
then,
as
the
council
is
also
aware,
goes
first
and
foremost
to
the
housing
set
aside
funded
twenty
twenty
percent
level
and
then
is
divided
essentially
fifty-fifty
by
the
agency
itself
and
the
other
taxing
entities
with
whom
we
have
passed
through
agreements.
So
there
is
actually
a
much
smaller
amount
that
ends
up
being
available
for
day-to-day
operations.
C
The
one
thing
I
would
point
out,
and
then
I
tasks
a
director
to
talk
to
you,
a
finance
director,
to
talk
to
you
for
a
moment
about
the
fund
balance.
You
notice
an
item
on
the
expenditure
line.
They're
called
s
craf
that
1.9
million
dollars
is
the
amount
that
we
had
to
write
a
check
this
year
for,
as
part
of
a
state's
grand
plan
to
take
money
from
municipal
entities
to
fund
the
state's
budget
crisis.
C
It's
a
very
large
number
and
one
which
we
obviously
reluctantly
paid.
That
amount
was
not
budgeted
last
year
in
an
abundance
optimism.
The
litigation
initiated
by
the
California
redevelopment
Association
would
in
fact
be
successful
and
we
would
not
actually
end
up
having
to
pay.
What
was
threatened
at
the
beginning
of
the
fiscal
year
last
year,
so,
unfortunately
an
abundance
of
caution?
You
see
further
down
the
page
here.
C
C
Believe
it's
still
being
litigated,
but
there's
there's
an
appeal
pending.
There
was
already
a
decision
that
came
down
at
the
beginning
of
may,
which
precipitated
the
the
actual
payment
of
the
1.9
million
dollars
up
until
that
point,
we
were
actually
I
was
very
optimistic
that
that
that
crnas
lawsuit
would
actually
prevail
because
approximately
one
year
ago
a
similar
issue
was
litigated
and
in
fact
payments
were
not
made
because
the
court
at
that
time
found
in
favor
of
redevelopment
agencies,
so
that
that
is
an
issue
that
remains
in
flux.
C
Frankly,
I
call
it
out
really
only
to
identify
a
different
our
budget
procedure
this
year
last
year,
not
budgeted
this
year
is
budgeted,
but
more
to
the
point.
Although
this
is
identified
as
a
two
year
plan
by
the
by
the
state
at
current
time,
having
done
it
and
had
it
upheld
and
doing
it
again,
in
my
view,
leaves
the
door
pretty
wide
open
to
the
checkbook
that,
given
that
the
state's
budget
crisis
shows
no
immediate
sign
of
abating
or
being
eliminated,
so
I
I
can't
predict
the
future.
C
But
I
have
a
fair
amount
of
concern
about
whether
we
and
other
redevelopment
agencies
are
going
to
be
able
actually
to
legitimately
hang
on
to
those
resources
that
were
identified
in
state
redevelopment
law
programs
that
were
established
by
that
law
for
the
purposes
whether
we're
going
to
be
able
to
fulfill
the
the
mandate
essentially
of
redevelopment
guess.
I
would
say
at
this
point
that
that
remains
pretty
vividly
an
open
question.
I
The
corridors
plans
there,
but
this
slide
really
just
hopefully
puts
into
perspective
the
availability
of
resources
that
may
be
subject
to
against
a
future
state
takes
that
may
happen
down
the
road.
There
is
a
bright
melt
in
the
sense
that
they're,
given
the
redevelopment,
a
stake
in
place,
and
specifically
with
the
SMK
project,
we
do
expect
some
growth
and
tax
increment
revenues.
I
Although
again
somewhat
mitigated,
if
there
are
future
state
takes
down
the
road
and
leather
item,
I
want
to
point
out
this
in
terms
of
the
estimated
revenues
that
you
see,
that
seven
point
three
seven,
eight
that's
actually
$300,000
higher
than
what
is
in
your
budget
book.
We've
actually
found
now
through
our
property
tax,
Aden
consultants,
that
there
were
certain
properties
that
were
actually
located
in
redevelopment
areas
which
we
were
not
paid
tax
equipment
money.
I
So
these
were
found
monies
that
are
added
into
the
current
year's
budget,
so
that
actually
hungry
you
know,
reduce
the
current
expected
funding
deficit
or
fun
balanced
deficit.
At
the
end
of
this
current
fiscal
year,
that
being
the
$250,000
number
but
again
going
forward
absent,
you
know
that
was
standing
any
additional
takes
from
the
state
from
the
states.
There
are
sufficient
resources
potentially
to
go
forward
with
some
of
these
initiatives
and
again
the
caution
is
that
you
know
we
still
don't
know
what
challenges
are
the
state.
I
E
C
The
reason
I
mentioned
the
pass
throughs
is
that
in
previous
years,
council
may
recall
a
comment
from
the
auditors
in
the
audit
report
that
we
received
most
recently
that,
rather
than
budgeting
on
a
net
basis
after
pass
throughs
showing
revenues
and
expenditures.
After
pastors
that,
in
fact,
we
should
be
showing
in
the
budget
the
revenues
gross
revenues
and
then
the
expenditure
for
pass
throughs,
leading
to
a
net
amount
at
the
bottom
of
the
page
announced.
That
was
really
the
only
reason
for
mentioning
it.
H
B
G
J
As
the
council
knows,
the
primary
planning
document
that
we're
working
on
now
is
the
transit
corridor
plan
and
what
the
transit
corridor
plan
is
doing
is
taking
a
look
at
land
use
within
the
area
of
our
downtown,
where
the
new
caltrain
station
is
specifically
san
mateo
avenue.
From
about
el
camino,
up
to
the
380
san
bruno
avenue,
from
around
cherry
down
to
101
and
el
camino
from
around
crystal
springs
back
again
to
the
the
380
and
oh,
the
any
good
specific
plan
really
does
two
things
number
one.
J
J
What
we
can
also
do
is
work
in
a
reimbursement
closet
to
this,
so
that
they'll
end
up
paying
for
that
environmental
review
in
the
long
run
and
a
proportional
basis,
but
a
lot
of
developers
do
want
to
know
that
they'll
be
able
to
have
a
clear
path
and
of
the
vision
the
city
has
already
created.
Is
there?
The
second
thing
that
you
need
to
do
with
redevelopment
funds
is
create
the
infrastructure
that
will
encourage
private
investment
to
occur.
J
If
a
developer
knows
that
they're
going
to
come
in,
but
they
don't
have
the
sidewalks,
they
don't
have
the
street
network.
They
don't
have
the
sewer
wastewater
capacity
in
order
to
support
their
development.
They're
not
going
to
build
and
you're
not
going
to
realize
additional
tax
increment,
an
additional
growing
property
tax
base
in
the
future,
because
you
didn't
have
the
infrastructure
to
support
those
developments
in
the
first
place.
So
what
the
successful
transit
corridor
plane
will
do
is
really
outline
our
strategies
for
infrastructure
spending
so
that
we
can
support
this
private
development
in
the
future.
J
The
second
thing
that
your
agency
could
do
is
help
leverage
private
funds
and
the
way
that
you
leverage,
private
private
funds
are
ways
that
has
been
done
by
other
cities
is
either
partner,
partnering
with
private
developers
acquiring
property
that
can
help
developments
occur.
You
know
we
have
a
lot
of
smaller
parcels
with
in
san
bruno
and
what
other
agencies
have
done
is
help.
Take
those
smaller
parcels
and
merge
them
together
to
create
larger
development
parcels
for
future
development.
J
Some
smaller
programs
that
we
have
a
budget
in
their
inherent
that
are
mentioned
within
the
transit
corridor
are
possibly
expanding
a
facade
improvement
program,
so
it
reaches
more
people,
including
architectural
services,
as
part
of
the
the
facade
improvement
brands.
So
that's
on
a
smaller
scale
and
but
to
really
in
order
to
make
this
happen,
why
the
state
takeaways
are
so
important.
Are
you
know?
In
the
long
run
most
successful
redevelopment
agency
do
issue
debt?
J
They
do
issues
bond
bond
so
that
they
could
do
a
lot
of
the
infrastructure
type
improvements,
the
property
acquisition
type
improvements
in
the
beginning
to
support
development
through
44
the
length
of
the
plan.
So
what
were
what
we
would
propose
is
that
in
the
future
we
do
in
the
near
future
that
we
do
have
a
council
study
session
or
redevelopment
agency
study
session
to
really
hone
in
on
some
of
the
policies
that
we
came
up
with
in
the
five-year
implementation
plan
that
could
help
direct
spending
within
the
agency.
J
Knowing
what
we
know
now
is
the
transit
corridor
plan
is
going
along
there's
a
in
terms
of
where
we're
at
in
the
transit
corridor
plan
process.
The
draft
plan
hat
is
being
reviewed
by
staff
and
has
been
sent
back
to
the
to
the
consultants
to
make
a
few
minor
changes
and
will
be
released
to
the
steering
committee
into
the
public
very
soon
I'd
say
within
the
next
four
to
five
weeks,
so
we're
moving
along.
F
To
go
back
to
somebody,
maybe
you
can
help
guide
me
a
little
bit.
We
talked
about
the
transporter,
of
course,
which
is
very
important
and
potentially
partnering
on
acquisition
and
I'm
not
going
to
go
into
great
detail,
but
there's
a
piece
of
property
that
I
talked
about
a
very
open
with
it
about
acquiring
some
thing
on
a
corner:
I,
don't.
F
I,
don't
want
to
mention
exactly
what
what
is
the
possibility
is
something
that
I
think
I
personally
am
tired
of
looking
at
that
I
believe
most
of
the
members
of
our
community
are
maybe
most
of
my
colleagues
are.
What
could
we
really
do
proactively
with
the
transporter
and
all
that's
evolving
or
the
partnership
that
you've
outlined?
Give
me
an
example
or
thought
that
we
could
do
in
order
to
improve
that
area.
In
light
of
all
that's
going
on
well,.
J
We
could
go
into
the
specific
details
later,
but
what
other
agencies
have
done?
What
we
have
right
now,
one
thing
that
the
state
takeaways
are
not
touching
are
the
housing
set
aside.
Funds
within
within
our
agency-
and
we
have
collected,
were
up
to
about
two
and
a
half
million
dollars
right
now
and
set
aside
funds
that
could
be
used
for
something
like
property
acquisition
or
partnering,
with
a
non-profit
housing
developer
to
the
two
to
develop
a
mixed-use
tight
project
on
it
on
a
parcel,
that's
near
train
station,
we.
J
It
wouldn't
have
to
be
all
be
housing.
No,
you
know
hit
the
your
contribution
using
set
aside.
Funds
would
have
to
go
towards
the
development
of
that
housing,
for
the
entire
development
would
not
have
to
be,
and
in
fact,
I
think
a
strong
argue
could
meet
argument
could
be
made.
You
know
you
really
do
need
to
create
the
retail
environment
to
support
housing
within
those
areas.
So
you
know
a
strategic,
miss
mixed-use
development
probably
be
the
right
idea.
We
also
have
in
Luffy
funds.
J
As
you
know,
we've
had
a
lot
of
single-family
developments
up
in
the
hills.
Over
the
last
five
year
period,
we've
accumulated
about
2.7
million
dollars
of
in
looping
funds
as
well.
So
you
know
you
could
do
a
combination
of
using
set
aside
funds,
as
well
as
in
Luffy
funds
to
fund
something
like
that.
F
And
I
appreciate
that
we
don't
need
to
go
more
detail.
I,
just
think
that
that
has
become
a
situation
to
where,
if
you
want
to
categorize
them
in
is
blight,
I
think
it's
reaching
there
if
it.
If
it's
about
the
the
property
owner
not
being
as
as
cooperative,
we're
working
within
the
community,
I
think
we're
there
and
I
think,
obviously,
by
what
it
looks
like
and
how
long
it's
been
vacant
I
think
it's
very
apparent,
I
think
what
redevelopment
was
designed
for
and
in
this
aspect
of
property
acquisition
I
think
it's
something.
E
E
Things
and
then
we
get
this
impression
that
we're
going
to
sit
back
and
wait
for
developers
to
come
and
start
knocking
on
the
door
and
make
proposals
I
think
we
need
to
also
we
want
to
be
proactive,
we're
sitting
here.
We've
we've
promoted
the
transit
corridor
plan
with
with
staffs
help
in
the
redevelopment
agency.
We
want
to
say:
okay,
let's
move
forward
on
a
mixed-use
development
at
this
site.
Let's
see
what
you
know.
What
can
be
done
here?
E
You
know,
let's
start
instigating,
you
know
things
you
know
so
that
it
gets
out
there
and
that
we,
the
developers,
say
hey
jeez,
they're,
promote
they
want
to
promote
it.
Now
we're
not
just
having
to
go
out
snooping
around
where
you
know.
What's
what's
good,
the
economy
is
going
to
turn
around
and
we
should
be
very
ready
in
well
positioned
to
do.
We
have
a
lot
of
projects
that
are
waiting.
E
We
have
great
projects
that
if
they
were
to
get
built,
if
they
were
built
when
they
said
that
they
want
to
get
built,
we'd
have
some
very
nice
developments.
We
have
some
nice
developments,
but
we
have
those
blighted
areas.
We
have
those
vacant
buildings
that,
for
the
most
part,
have
have
a
design,
they
have
a
plan,
and
so
we
need
to
look
at
that.
We
need
to
look
at
things
along
El
Camino.
You
know
it
will
be
be
a
little
more
aggressive
and
saying
this
is
what
we'd
like
here.
E
F
J
Exactly
why
redevelopment
agencies
were
created,
I
mean
you
made
the
findings
that
it's
a
blighted
area
and
that
an
extra
effort
is
needed
in
order
to
create
development
in
that
area
and
I.
Think
that's
extra
I
mean
with
the
biggest
failure
in
planning.
Is
implementation
is
not
in
creation
of
the
plan,
so
I
think
I
think
you
really
nailed
it
that
once
we
approve
this
plan
that
creates
a
great
vision
that
creates
all
these
policies
that
you
really
do
need
to
implement
it
and
be
proactive
in
Clinton
I.
E
Mean
I
fully
appreciate
am
grateful
that
staff.
You
know
what,
with
this
transit
corridor
plan,
we
didn't
think
it
up.
This
is
something
that
you
and
the
city
staff
that
was
necessary
and
then
we
went
through
all
the
procedures
and
we
talked
and
talked
and
talked
now
it's
now
the
plan
is
going
to
be.
You
know
it's
going
to
be
ready
and
ready
to
be
followed.
That's
it's
great,
can't
sit
back,
sit
on
our
hands
and
feel
sorry
for
ourselves,
because
it's
a
bad
economy,
I
think
things
are.
Things
are
ready
to
happen.
C
The
director
will
provide
an
overview
of
the
equipment
reserved
in
all
funds.
As
council
is
aware,
there
is
a
separate
equipment
reserved
for
general
fund
funded
costs,
and
each
of
the
enterprise
funds
also
covers
the
cost
of
items
that
need
to
be
replaced,
so
we'll
just
go
through
those
quickly.
Yes,.
I
I
F
Foods
here
and
I'm
trying
something
here,
is
that
a
carryover
from
before
or
is
it
was
that
knew
it
was
the
Ford
Expedition
thought
to
be
replaced
in
previous
row,
90
10
to
10,
so
it
is
a
carryover,
that's
correct,
and
so
we're
feeling
that
that
apparatus
can
stand
another
year,
how
many
years,
how
old
is
it?
What
is
the
normal
cycle
in
which
it's
usually
replaced.
G
F
J
F
B
H
I
I
Is
the
five
thousand
dollars
so
moving
on
to
the
next
apartment
that
being
police?
This
is
the
replacement
of
the
second
parking
enforcement
vehicle.
One
was
done
already
so
again.
This
is
actually
a
carry
forward.
The
replacement
that
were
scheduling
for
the
upcoming
year
and
the
last
item
on
for
the
police
department
is
the
replacement
of
their
copier.
I
J
I
Two
items
in
terms
of
replacement
are
not
out
of
the
general
fund
placement
reserve
fund,
but
these
are
actually
coming
out
of
the
enterprise
funds,
because
these
are
assets,
respect
of
enterprise
funds,
that
is,
the
water
and
revised
fun
and
the
wastewater
enterprise
funds
and
those
are
water,
Enterprise,
Fund
water
services
truck
and
then
for
the
wastewater,
Enterprise
Fund.
It's
a
combination
of
a
factor
jet
jeder
and
obviously
that
that
second
item
is
a
very
large
scale.
Item
for
that
departments
that.
B
C
H
H
B
I
H
B
I
G
B
G
B
B
B
H
I
Move
them
to
the
last
line,
please
so
the
last
light
that
I
have
for
you
is
really
the
cliq
their
real.
Second
to
last,
it's
very
an
overview
of
where
we
are
with
a
reserved
month.
We
basically
are
estimated
by
the
engineer
will
have
six
million
dollars
sitting
in
there.
The
internal
charges
that
we
do.
I
Add
on
to
this
fund
for
thirty
one
thousand
dollars
and
then
scheduled
purchases
that
we
have
discussed,
take
into
consideration,
obviously
about
the
modification
for
the
fire
department,
the
reductions
from
there
and
then.
Lastly,
the
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
was
actually
discussed
yesterday.
That
is
actually
part
of
the
budget
strategy
in
order
to
close
the
gap
for
the
general
fund.
So.
B
I
Still
have
it
what
I
consider
a
very
healthy
equipment
reserve
fund
at
5.4
million
dollars
and
the
cost
of
all
our
general
fund
assets
are
approximately
8.2
million
dollars.
So
in
my
mind,
there
is
really
quite
a
bit
of
working
capital
and
resources
available
to
replace
these
assets
going
forward
again.
E
I
F
F
I
F
When
you're
saying
that,
but
I
also
think
that
we
something
that
I
want
to
better
understand
is
when
we
say
we
have
an
apparatus
or
that
is
how
old
and
yet
let's
say,
will
you
see
I'm
the
cheeks
it
they
had
10
years
old?
Normally
we
replace
it
in
seven
years,
so
I'm
also
interested
to
see
where
we
added
those
stages,
because
obviously
we
can
put
things
off
and
put
things
off.
Eventually
them
catch
up
with
you.
Okay,
so
I
understand
what
you're
saying
about
that.
F
But
I
also
want
to
see
if
we
talk
about
the
squad,
cars
and
all
those
other
vehicles
that
we
have
and
we've
already
pushed
them
off
beyond
what
the
expectancy
is
or
the
mileage
okay,
so
I
want
to
have
a
full
picture
before
we
believe
or
have
the
strong
recommendation
by
staff.
That
says
you
know
we
have
a
million
there.
That
I
believe
is.
You
simply
manager
said
minimally.
We
need
to
keep
so
just
so
that
there's
a
very
clear,
very
trapped
example
of
all
what
we
have
in
our
urban
tuffly
I.
E
E
I
You
know,
there's
it
that
way:
the
cost
of
replacing
that
vehicle,
because,
obviously,
what
I'm
going
to
sink
a
whole
bunch
of
money
and
maintenance-
and
not
you
know,
have
a
return
on
that
when
maybe
the
other
decision
obviously
is
to
actually
replace
the
vehicle,
replace
the
apparatus
replace
that
piece
of
equipment.
So
that's
part
of
process
that
is
undertake
what
we
make
the
decision.
We're
not
sixth
end
the
life
of
a
piece
of
equipment
versus
not
just.
E
C
B
C
So,
mr.
mayor,
this
concludes
the
presentation
that
we
had
scheduled
for
this
evening.
We
are
happy
and
stand
ready
to
take
any
questions
on
any
of
the
topics
that
we
have
covered
and
just
again
as
a
as
a
housekeeping
item,
the
City
Council
had
tentatively
scheduled
another
budget
study
session
for
tomorrow
evening.
C
At
this
point,
because
we
are
still
working
on
final
completion
of
the
capital
improvements
program,
budget
I
would
suggest
to
you
that
it
would
be
appropriate
for
you
to
consider
now
whether
you
would
like
to
have
that
meeting
tomorrow
night,
and
it
would
be
for
the
purpose
of
additional
discussion
on
the
matter
that
we
have
already
covered
with
you
over
these
last
two
nights.
It
would
work.
J
B
B
C
Correct
and
there
were
never
some
items
that
we've
kept
track
of
the
council
members
have
asked
or
commented
about
this
evening
and
last
evening
we
will
be
assembling
a
comprehensive
list
of
those
and
delivering
that
to
you
prior
to
the
jun
22nd.
We
will
probably
take
us
a
little
longer
than
I
could
promise
you
that
it
would
be
available
to
you
at
your
next
council
meeting,
which
is
next
Tuesday,
but
sometime
within
the
next
week.
C
B
And
I
would
like
to
say
if
I
may,
with
the
permission
of
the
council,
how
much
we
appreciate
everybody's
efforts
in
this
very,
very
difficult
time.
It's
been
very
hard
for
us
but
harder
for
you
you're
here
all
day
long
and
then
yeah
you
got
to
live
it
and
you're.
You
know
where
the
rubber
meets
the
road
and
all
of
that
stuff.
It's
just
I
can't
say
enough
about
your
efforts
and
pass
that
on
to
the
department
heads
that
aren't
here
tonight
also
and
in
fact,
all
of
the
employees.
B
You
know
police
fire,
public
works,
everybody
that's
been
involved
because
it's
been
a
very
difficult
Road.
The
last
couple
of
years,
hopefully,
you've
seen
the
bottom
no
way
to
tell
as
to
what's
going
on
this
economy
now.
But
I
just
want
to
thank
you
personally
for
all
of
your
records
very,
very
much
appreciated
and
with.
