San Bruno City Council Meeting September 10, 2013
9. Public Comment
A
Number
nine
is
public
comment
and
items
not
in
this
agenda.
It
is
the
council's
policy
to
refer
matters
raised
in
this
forum
to
staff
for
investigation
interaction
where
appropriate.
The
Brown
Act
prohibits
the
council
from
discussing
or
acted
upon
any
matter
not
agenda
is
pursuant
to
save
lo.
Anyone
like
to
adjust
the
council
under
public
comment.
B
B
Wasn't
too
surprised
since
I've
been
cutting
back
on
my
water
used,
I
reduced
the
planting
areas
and
I
only
have
three
tomato
plants.
This
year,
I
knew
the
council
voted
on,
may
eight
2012
to
increase
our
water
or
sewer
by
an
average
of
ten
percent
for
five
consecutive
years.
As
I
campaigned
this
last
week,
I
was
repeatedly
asked.
Why
are
the
rates
so
high?
B
The
following
is
from
the
san
bruno
city,
council,
home
website
and
quote
san
bruno
is
governed
by
the
city
council
and
operates
under
a
council-manager
form
of
government
as
the
policy
making
body
it
has
the
ultimate
responsibility
to
the
people
of
san
bruno
and
the
implementation
of
all
programs
and
city
services.
It
approves
all
ordinances
resolutions
and
major
contracts,
modifies
and
improves
the
budget
and
has
the
responsibility
of
employing
a
city
manager
and
City
Attorney.
B
There's
the
answer
on
my
website.
Marty
Medina
for
San
Bruno,
City
Council
to
2013,
calm
I've.
I
posted
additional
facts.
Details
and
news
newspaper
quotes
on
why
the
rates
are
so
high.
I've
also
posted
the
outline
of
my
plan
to
reduce
the
utility
rates,
so
I
invite
everybody
just
come.
Take
a
look
at
the
lab
at
the
last
council
meeting.
I
repeated
council
salazars
question
regarding
the
re-evaluation
of
the
unsustainable
rate
increases
I'm
here
tonight
to
see
if
any
progress
has
been
made.
B
Has
there
been
any
been
any
study
sessions
or
any
reports
available
to
the
public?
Basically,
what
has
been
done?
I
also
asked
why
san
bruno
has
written
off
over
three
hundred
and
eight
thousand
dollars
in
sewer
bills
over
the
last
five
years.
I
believe
I
also
asked
how
much
were
the
water
right
off.
I
mean
I'm
estimating
combined
a
half
a
million
dollars
written
off,
not
collected,
and
the
citizens
decembrie
will
have
to
bear
that
cost.
I
also
tonight
would
commend
the
council.
B
They
are
the
responsibility
for
insisting
upon
caltrain
to
restore
parking
for
all
the
residents
on
First
Avenue
and
for
insisting
on
the
lighting
improvements
for
a
new
pedestrian
corridor.
If
anybody's
gone
down,
first
avenue
and
I
used
to
coach
down
there
for
eight
years
and
it
gets
dark,
so
you're
going
to
put
a
new
corridor
and
if
it
doesn't
have
the
light,
it's
gonna
invite
your
problems.
Okay,
thank.
C
Robert
wrinkle
seventh
Avenue
on
Romero
reign
three
council
members
who
met
Andrew,
Jackson
wearing
my
san
mateo
county
mosquito,
vector
control
district
board
hat.
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
the
city
official
city
Shambo
to
residents
know
that
this
past
Sunday
as
part
of
the
district's
outreach
community
outreach,
Tina
and
Richard,
along
with
my
assistant,
shaft,
the
district's
information
booth,
the
Cindy
chambers,
former
chamber,
Cindy
farmers
market
number
of
shoppers
stop
by
our
booth
and
many
had
questions
that
teen
and
Richard
were
able
to
answer
information
brochures
and
these
mosquitoes
waters.
C
They
don't
work
on,
flies
untold
we're
given
out
councilmember
Rico
Medina
received
his
so
I've
left.
One
quart
city
manager,
Jackson
the
rest
of
the
council
and
I
borrowed
Carol's
back
so
I
had
a
something
to
show
mosquito
questions
should
continually
be
directed
to
district
manager,
robert
gay,
at
3448
592
and
on
behalf
of
the
district.
I
want
to
thank
you,
the
city
and
the
city,
for
your
continuing
support
of
the
district
and
its
programs
and
goals
and
flipping
my
hatton
real
quickly.
C
I'm
on
the
chamber
board
overseeing
the
farmers
market
and
we
had
an
unexpected
unannounced
inspection
by
the
county
act
inspector
on
sunday.
He
was
there
for
what
seemed
to
be
a
long
time.
I
was
told
he
is
one
of
the
best
that
he's
going
to
find
anything.
He
will
find
it
and
he
was
able
to
give
the
west
coast
farmers
market
in
the
chamber
of
commerce
a
complete
clean
bill
of
health.
So
I
just
thought
you
needed
to
have
those
two
good
pieces
of
information,
very
good.
