Public Works Director Bernardi answered that whatever amount was allocated for Freitas Parkway will be transferred to another street from the list and indicated he would inform Council which street it would be. Councilmember Thayer asked if Items #23, 24, 25, Andersen Drive, was included in the overall extension project with funds already available apart from this resurfacing project. Mr. Bernardi stated this concerns the existing portion of Andersen Drive adjacent to the Bridge District property, and the current project is needed to keep the street operable for another year. The plan is to patch that section with about 12 inches of asphalt. With the Andersen Drive project, the whole section will then be resurfaced. Ms. Thayer asked if there was any way to get the outside funding to cover the patching as part of the overall project. Mr. Bernardi stated there is funding for the ultimate resurfacing of the street although it is not within the project limits. Councilmember Cohen moved and Councilmember Thayer seconded, to authorize staff to call for bids for street resurfacing project for 1994.

Chief Krolak answered that according to the contract, the rotational tow companies are responsible for towing abandoned vehicles, so the City does not reimburse them. They make money by scrapping them. Councilmember Thayer moved and Councilmember Zappetini seconded, to approve the one-year contract with Terra Linda Tow to tow abandoned vehicles. RESOLUTION NO. 9160 - AUTHORIZING THE SIGNING OF A CONTRACT, LEASE OR AGREEMENT WITH TERRA LINDA TOW SERVICE TO TOW ABANDONED VEHICLES (one year contract, 7/1/94 to 6/30/95).

CD 4853 SCHOLARSHIP FUNDS FOR CHILD CARE SERVICES FOR $74,290 b. AB 2184 REIMBURSEMENT FOR NEW TRACKING PROCEDURES $828 Councilmember Zappetini asked for clarification. City Manager Nicolai explained that several years ago the State decided to try to help pass State money down to the schools. Because we are the ones who provide child care programs on the school site, we get latchkey money which is used to help provide scholarships. Mr. Zappetini asked how scholarships are determined. Ms. Nicolai stated there is a sliding scale for people who qualify to not have to pay the full dollar amount. RESOLUTION NO. 9161 - AUTHORIZING THE SIGNING OF TWO AGREEMENTS WITH THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION FOR LATCHKEY FUNDS FOR 1994-95, a.)

Finance Director Coleman explained that the City is self-insured up to $250,000, then beyond that the insurance becomes effective. Mr. Zappetini asked if there was a way to recoup some of the funds. Mr. Coleman stated that to -date, we have never gone into the insurance level, therefore, all Workers' Compensation has been funded by the City. He noted we have set aside money for potential claims with the recommendation from the Claims Administrator. Once a claim is resolved, that reserve amount disappears. Mr. Zappetini asked how it was determined that the National Union Fire Insurance Company is competitive with other programs. Mr. Coleman stated we went out for bid. The rate through National Union Fire Insurance is 14 cents per hundred dollars worth of payroll and other bids were from 14.84 cents to 16 cents per hundred dollars; besides many of the insurance companies have increased their standard deduction from $250,000 to $300,000. Councilmember Heller moved and Councilmember Zappetini seconded, to adopt a Resolution authorizing a contract for Excess Workers' Compensation Insurance with National Union Fire Insurance Company through Johnson & Higgins from 7/1/94 through 6/30/95. Councilmember Thayer asked how much the premium was last year. Mr. Coleman answered that it was approximately $25,000 and should be similar this year.

City Clerk Leoncini reported that the City's Conflict of Interest Code was adopted in 1980. New regulations from California Fair Political Practice Commission require the Code be updated and submitted to them by October 1st of each even -numbered year, and that a Public Hearing be held prior to adoption of this updated Code. She stated that the Fair Political Practices Commission has also interpreted the act to apply to members of all boards and commissions with decision-making authority. Mrs. Leoncini indicated that Assistant City Attorney Guinan provided guidelines, and each depart- ment was contacted to provide an update for their department. Councilmember Thayer questioned some of the designations for various employees. Mrs. Leoncini stated Assistant City Attorney Gus Guinan reviewed all of the designations with the department heads and formulated categories. Mayor Boro asked if Mr. Guinan had reviewed not only the titles, but the categories, and was this his recommendation? Mrs. Leoncini stated it was. Councilmember Cohen asked regarding the City Manager. Mrs. Leoncini indicated the City Manager files a Form 721 (which is sent to the Fair Political Practices Commission in Sacramento) the same as the City Council, Planning Commission, City Attorney and City Treasurer. Mayor Boro asked for questions from the audience, and there being none, closed the Public Hearing. Councilmember Cohen moved and Councilmember Zappetini seconded, to adopt a Resolution to update the City's Conflict Interest Code for designated employees. RESOLUTION NO. 9164 - REPEALING RESOLUTION NOS. 5922 AND 8746 ADOPTING CONFLICT OF INTEREST CODE FOR DESIGNATED EMPLOYEES WHICH INCORPORATES BY REFERENCE THE FAIR POLITICAL PRACTICE COMMISSION'S STANDARD MODEL CONFLICT OF INTEREST CODE AYES: COUNCILMEMBERS: Cohen, Heller, Thayer, Zappetini & Mayor Boro NOES: COUNCILMEMBERS: None ABSENT: COUNCILMEMBERS: None OLD BUSINESS 14.REPORT ON BID OPENING - MERRYDALE ROAD OVERCROSSING CONSTRUCTION PROJECT (PW) - File 4-1-468 x 4-8-23 X 4-10-276 X 11-15 x 11-16 Public Works Director Bernardi reported that bids were opened June 1, 1994, and three days later, Ghilotti Brothers Construction submitted a protest. The entire issue was reviewed with the City Attorney's Office who conducted an analysis of all the bidders in terms of any irregularities. All but two bidders have at least one form of missing items. Mr. Bernardi explained the Council could award the contract to the lowest bidder with the idea that the inconsistencies that are there are minor, but because of the protest filed by the second lowest bidder, there is a great likelihood a lawsuit could be filed to stop the award of contract. Mr. Bernardi stated the City would probably prevail in a lawsuit, but we do not have the time because we have the ISTEA funds that are a part of this project, and we must commit those funds by September 30, 1994. Staff recommends that all bids be rejected based upon the number of inconsistencies found in all the bids. The current plan is to re -advertise the project on Friday, June 24, 1994 and open bids on July 15, 1994. The bids will be brought back to Council on August 1, 1994. SRCC MINUTES (Regular) 6/20/94 Page 4 SRCC MINUTES (Regular) 6/20/94 Page 5 Councilmember Zappetini asked if Mr. Bernardi thinks there will be a savings to the City since everybody knows what the bids were. Mr. Bernardi stated he has talked with some of the contractors who feel everyone will go 2-3 percent higher, while others feel the prices will go down. Councilmember Heller asked if Benco Contracting is a local company. Mr. Bernardi stated they are not within either Marin or Sonoma Counties. Councilmember Thayer asked if we will be in jeopardy if we do not award the contract to one of the bidders who had nothing wrong with their bid. Mr. Bernardi explained that in the specifications, the City Council can reject all bids without cause. Mayor Boro asked if anyone in the audience wanted to address this issue. There was no one. Councilmember Thayer moved and Councilmember Zappetini seconded, to adopt a Resolution to reject all bids regarding the Merrydale Road Overcrossing construction project. RESOLUTION NO. 9165 - REJECTING ALL BIDS FOR THE MERRYDALE OVERCROSSING PROJECT AND AUTHORIZING STAFF TO REBID. (Re -advertise project Friday, 6/24/94; bid opening 7/15/94; award of contract 8/1/94 Council Meeting) AYES: COUNCILMEMBERS: Cohen, Heller, Thayer, Zappetini & Mayor Boro NOES: COUNCILMEMBERS: None ABSENT: COUNCILMEMBERS: None 15.CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM STATUS REPORT (PW) - File 8-5 Mayor Boro stated the total capital needs of the City are $186,000,000, and the total funds available over the next five years are $37,000,000, with a shortfall of approx- imately $138,000,000. Councilmember Cohen asked whether it is reasonable to believe the new Library facility at $20,000,000 will remain in the budget. He pointed out that this amount is two-thirds of the unfunded portion of the total buildings. City Manager Nicolai noted that in the past the Council saw only those projects for which there was money, never seeing the full picture of what was out there. In the current report, they tried to give objective criteria -ranking to each project and not to judge the project by whether it was thought money would be available. Mayor Boro stated he felt it was important to keep the Library as well as other projects on the list because there is always the potential that private development could fund them. Councilmember Thayer stated regarding page 5, Item 99.1 Pickleweed Park Playground Improvements, she thought this item was partially funded, although this report shows it as unfunded. Ms. Nicolai stated this report was printed prior to the decision for funding was made, and these numbers will be corrected, adding $90,000 to the "Funded" column. Councilmember Heller referred to page 1, Item 160.0, Corporation Yard - Underground Tank Improvements and Item 15.0, New Corporation Yard and asked if we have to find $25,000 for this project if we are going to be moving the Corporation Yard. Mr. Bernardi explained that there is a mandate for all owners of underground tanks to either double-wall them or to install certain detection systems. He noted we have a system now that almost meets the State's standard, but in order to completely meet the standard, we need to spend the $25,000. Mr. Bernardi stated that realistically the move of the Corporation Yard will not happen before another 4-5 years. Ms. Heller stated that an area of great concern was Falkirk, and hopefully we will be getting some capital improvements, or we could have a lot of money going out soon. Councilmember Thayer indicated two items of great concern are the signalization of Freitas off -ramp to Civic Center Drive because the intersection is extremely dangerous. Mr. Bernardi stated there is currently funding in the amount of $1,100,000 towards this project. Our share will be $100,000 coming out of traffic mitigation fees. He stated we are currently working with CALTRANS to design the intersection improvements and they should be completed just after the Merrydale Overcrossing project. Ms. Thayer stated the other item of great concern is Rafael Meadows Flood Control Improvements. Mr. Bernardi stated he will be attending a meeting this week with Supervisor Roumiguiere and members of the Flood Control Zone Board for that area. SRCC MINUTES (Regular) 6/20/94 Page 5 SRCC MINUTES (Regular) 6/20/94 Page 6 Mr. Bernardi explained that when this area was annexed, no funds were set aside for the upgrading of the drainage ditches and street crossings. At that time, the Flood Control Zone had the ability to raise the fees to construct those improvements. With the passage of Proposition 13, the Flood Zone lost its ability to raise those funds. When this area was still under County jurisdiction, they identified improvements of $1.2 million. Mr. Bernardi stated that one option is for the area itself to pass a measure that would allow a Special Assessment District. Mayor Boro asked Mr. Bernardi to report back to Council the results of the meeting. Ms. Thayer asked about previous discussions regarding extending the Redevelopment Zone with the permission of the County. Ms. Nicolai stated it would not be extended. A new zone would have to be created; however, Redevelopment does not make money without an incremental development occurring in a geographical area that raises the tax base. That area is all developed. Now, to create an area out there, does not make the money appear without including some area that might dramatically change, which is really remote. Councilmember Zappetini pointed out that $4.5 million has been allocated for the Merrydale Overcrossing project, and the bids were over $5 million and asked where the additional $.5 million would come from. Mr. Bernardi answered it would come from traffic mitigation fees which we currently have and ISTEA funds. Councilmember Cohen moved and Councilmember Thayer seconded, to accept the Capital Improvement Program Status Report. AYES: COUNCILMEMBERS: Cohen, Heller, Thayer, Zappetini & Mayor Boro NOES: COUNCILMEMBERS: None ABSENT: COUNCILMEMBERS: None NEW BUSINESS 16.CONSIDERATION OF ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 1648 INCREASING PARAMEDIC TAX RATE FOR 1994/95 FOR RESIDENTIAL AND NON-RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY (FIN) - File 9-3-31 x 13-1 x 9-12-1 Finance Director Coleman reported that the approved budget included a second para -medic unit in the Terra Linda area. As a part of that proposal, it was recommended that the paramedic tax be increased from $28.40 to $34.10 per residential unit and from $.0254 to $.0305 per square foot for commercial areas. The title of the Ordinance was read: "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SAN RAFAEL AMENDING ORDINANCE 1623 (PARAMEDIC SERVICE SPECIAL TAX) AND SETTING THE PARAMEDIC TAX RATE FOR FISCAL YEAR 1994/95 FOR RESIDENTIAL AND NONRESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES" Councilmember Cohen moved and Councilmember Zappetini seconded, to dispense with the reading of the Ordinance in its entirety and refer to it by title only, and pass Charter Ordinance 1665 to print by the following vote, to wit: AYES: COUNCILMEMBERS: Cohen, NOES: COUNCILMEMBERS: None ABSENT: COUNCILMEMBERS: None CITY COUNCIL REPORTS Heller, Thayer, Zappetini & Mayor Boro 17.RESOLUTION ENDORSING EXCELLENT SCHOOLS PROGRAM FUND RAISING CAMPAIGN SPONSORED BY SAN RAFAEL PUBLIC EDUCATION FOUNDATION - File 212 Councilmember Cohen stated the excellent schools in San Rafael deserve everyone's support and asked the Council to take a public position indicating support for the Excellent Schools Program. The purpose of the program is to build a partnership between the business community and local schools through a tax-deductible contribu-tion. Mr. Cohen also discussed the need for interim funding for the schools due to the recent failure of a local funding measure. Until such a funding measure is adopted, there is a fundraising effort known as the San Rafael Public Schools Emergency Fund, and Mr. Cohen asked for the Council's support. Councilmember Cohen moved and Councilmember Thayer seconded, to adopt two Resolutions in support of the Excellent Schools Program and in support of the San Rafael Public Schools Emergency Fund. a. RESOLUTION NO. 9166 - RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN RAFAEL SRCC MINUTES (Regular) 6/20/94 Page 6 Page 7 SRCC MINUTES (Regular) 6/20/94 IN SUPPORT OF THE EXCELLENT SCHOOLS PROGRAM b.

Within a week, a letter will be sent to all members encouraging them to become involved with this program. Ms. Giambastiani thanked the Council for their public support. Dan Murphy, San Rafael Public Education Foundation, stated the Council's endorsement is very important. He indicated that to -date, 800 San Rafael residents have donated over $96,000 to the Emergency Fund. AYES: COUNCILMEMBERS: Cohen, Heller, Thayer, Zappetini & Mayor Boro NOES: COUNCILMEMBERS: None ABSENT: COUNCILMEMBERS: None Councilmember Cohen suggested that each of the councilmembers contribute to the Emergency Fund, especially after amending the resolution to urge the residents of San Rafael to support this effort. Mr. Cohen stated he was contributing $90, which he would have paid had the measure passed. Each Councilmember agreed and urged staff to also contribute to the Emergency Fund. 18.CONFIRMATION OF APPOINTMENT OF ANNIE BOWMAN TO THE ST.
