Boro, Mayor Absent: None Others Present: Pamela J. Nicolai, City Manager Clark E. Guinan, Assistant City Attorney Jeanne M. Leoncini, City Clerk ORAL COMMUNICATIONS OF AN URGENCY NATURE: SAN QUENTIN EXPANSION - File 116 Harry Winters, President of the West End Neighborhood Association and member of the Ad Hoc Committee for Citizens Against San Quentin Expansion, asked for time on the agenda of March 20, 1995, to make a presentation against the expansion of San Quentin. He also asked the Council to propose a resolution opposing the expansion. Mr. Winters stated there was a similar proposal two years ago, and the Board of Supervisors reversed their position, and the Department of Corrections withdrew the proposal. He noted the proposal is now in the State budget for next year. Mr. Winters pointed out that the City wrote a letter to the Supervisors two years ago opposing the expansion at that time, and asked the Council to once again join with other jurisdictions in Marin County to oppose the expan-cion. Mr. Winters furnished the City Clerk with a copy of a Resolution already adopted by the Board of Supervisors opposing the San Quentin expansion. Mayor Boro stated the City Manager's office will put together a consensus resolution for discussion, and that it should include the expectation that the State would conduct an Environmental Impact Report. Councilmember Cohen stated we should look at the potential impact of the "drop-off" policy. Councilmember Heller asked to have a copy of the letter that was written to the Board of Supervisors two years ago, opposing the expansion at that time.

Personnel Director Chandler stated there are usually 15-30 participants at each workshop and about 30 different classes, explaining they are normally for supervisory and mid -management personnel. Mr. Zappetini asked how long the classes last. Mr. Chandler stated they are either half-day or full-day sessions; the contract is for four workdays.

RESOLUTION CHANGING OUR LONG TERM DISABILITY PROVIDER FROM STANDARD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY TO UNUM LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF AMERICA (Pers) - File 7-1-39 x 7-1-21 Councilmember Phillips referred to the staff report near the bottom of the first page, making reference to benefit percentage which is two-thirds of the current compensation. He stated we need to make sure that that will not eliminate some of the compensation because of that cap. Personnel Director Chandler stated there are two separate plans offered through our long-term disability insurance. One has a very low cap; it protects the first $1,500 of salary, and the maximum benefit is $1,000 per month. Obviously, the employee is not protecting full salary. The premium, however, is very low because of that. The second plan would protect a maximum of the first $7,500 of salary, and that premium is considerably higher, depending upon the income; the amount of the income protection, the higher the premium rate. What we are trying to accomplish with this change is to lower the cost per $100 of protected salary. Councilmember Phillips asked if this coverage is any better or worse than our exist-ing coverage. Mr. Chandler stated it is no worse than present coverage, and in terms of income protection, there are some parts of the UNUM policy that are better than what Standard offered. In terms of income protection, it is identical. Councilmember Phillips asked if the income benefits are indexed. Mr. Chandler stated they are to the extent that the person is not already receiving the maximum benefit, but if during the term of their disability, CPI changed, then their benefit level could increase as long as they were not already at the maximum benefit level. Councilmember Phillips pointed out that recently, not currently, UNUM was on Standard and Poors 'caution index', and suggested this be followed to insure they do not revert back to that status. He indicated his CPA firm is changing from UNUM to another insurance carrier. Councilmember Cohen asked if we offer both caps - the one based on $1,500 and one based on $7,500. Mr. Chandler stated it is a negotiated benefit, and currently for all the represented groups, the maximum benefit level is the lower one. He noted the managers and mid -managers opted a few years ago, as a part of their total compensa-tion package, to purchase the higher one. Mr. Cohen stated he recently read an article indicating UNUM is no longer offering individual disability policies in California. Mr. Chandler stated they may do that on an individual basis, but this would be a conversion from a group plan policy to an individual policy, and it is written in the contract that the employee could convert to an individual policy if they leave the City of San Rafael. He indicated that Standard Life Insurance does not currently offer that enhancement. Councilmember Phillips moved and Councilmember Zappetini seconded, to adopt a Resolution changing the City's long-term disability provider from Standard Life Insurance Company to UNUM Life Insurance Company of America. RESOLUTION NO. 9315 - CHANGING THE CITY'S LONG TERM DISABILITY PROVIDER FROM STANDARD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY TO UNUM LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF AMERICA (effective April 1, 1995) AYES: COUNCILMEMBERS: Cohen, Heller, Phillips, Zappetini & Mayor Boro SRCC MINUTES (Regular) 3/6/95 Page 3 SRCC MINUTES (Regular) 3/6/95 Page 4 NOES: COUNCILMEMBERS: None ABSENT: COUNCILMEMBERS: None 9. APPROVAL OF STREET CLOSURES FOR PACIFIC TAP AND GRILL'S BREWFEST '95 EVENT ON SATURDAY, JUNE 3, 1995 (RA) - File 11-19 Mayor Boro asked if agreement had been reached between the Business Improvement District and the sponsor. Assistant Executive Director Ours stated it had been completed on March 3, 1995. Mayor Boro asked how the selling of beer will be monitored and control of consumption will be handled. Drew Goldberg, Pacific Tap and Grill Brewmaster, stated the limited hours of the event will be somewhat of a control, and noted there will be approximately seventy Cancer Society monitors, and if a person is over -indulging, they will not be served. Councilmember Zappetini asked if extra Police Officers will be required. Mr. Ours stated there will be two Officers at the event, noting last year's event was very orderly. Mr. Ours also reported that a survey was taken of area businesses, and of the 32 businesses polled, 29 support the brewfest and 3 do not. Councilmember Zappetini moved and Councilmember Cohen seconded, to approve the street closures Saturday, June 3, 1995, from 10:00 AM - 4:30 PM, Fourth Street from Lincoln to Lootens and Cijos from Fourth to Commercial Way.

PUBLIC HEARING - AMENDMENT TO PLANNED DISTRICT ZONING (ORDINANCE NO. 1474) AND MASTER USE PERMIT FOR BAYVIEW BUSINESS PARK; FRANCISCO BOULEVARD EAST, KERNER BOULEVARD AND PELICAN WAY; AP NO. 09-291-15, 16, 20, 21, 22, 23, 39, 42, 52 AND 53; CITY FILE NO.

Planning Director Pendoley explained that the planned district and use permit were originally granted in 1984. He noted the applicant has filed for a series of technical amendments for both the planned district and use permit to eliminate most of the permitting process, which at this point is superfluous, as well as to give greater flexibility and distribution of the allowed uses on the property. Mr. Pendoley stated that staff strongly recommends approval. Paul Jensen, representing Eureka Properties, offered to answer any questions that Council might have. As there were no questions, Mayor Boro declared the public hearing closed. The title of the Ordinance was read: "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SAN RAFAEL AMENDING THE ZONING MAP OF THE CITY OF SAN RAFAEL, CALIFORNIA, ADOPTED BY REFERENCE BY SECTION 14.01.020 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE OF SAN RAFAEL, CALIFORNIA, SO AS TO RECLASSIFY CERTAIN REAL PROPERTY FROM PD (PLANNED DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE 1474) DISTRICT TO SRCC MINUTES (Regular) 3/6/95 Page 4 SRCC MINUTES (Regular) 3/6/95 Page 5 THE PD (PLANNED DEVELOPMENT) DISTRICT FOR AMENDMENT TO THE BAYVIEW BUSINESS PARK MASTER PLAN (RE: Z94-6, BAYVIEW BUSINESS PARK, FRANCISCO BOULEVARD EAST, KERNER BOULEVARD AND PELICAN WAY, AP NOS. 09-291-15, 16, 20, 21, 22, 23, 39, 42, 52, AND 53) " Councilmember Phillips moved and Councilmember Cohen seconded, to dispense with the reading, to refer to it by title only, and pass Charter Ordinance No. 1675 to print by the following vote, to wit: AYES: COUNCILMEMBERS: Cohen, Heller, Phillips, Zappetini & Mayor Boro NOES: COUNCILMEMBERS: None ABSENT: COUNCILMEMBERS: None Councilmember Cohen moved and Councilmember Heller seconded, to adopt a Resolution approving the amendment to the Master Use Permit for Bayview Business Park.

REPORT FROM BUDGET OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE (CM) - File 9-2-48 x 8-5 (VERBAL) Charles Stuckey, Budget Oversight Committee Chairman, stated the BOC was organized in May, 1994, and from June - December, 1994, they went through an orientation by the City Manager and department heads. He noted that during that time, the Data Proces-sing Subcommittee was formed. Mr. Stuckey thanked the Council on behalf of the BOC for the education in governmental accounting and budgeting, and noted the Committee did not see any opportunities for major savings. Mayor Boro asked if that meant the BOC believes the City is being run efficiently? Mr. Stuckey stated the Committee did not see anything that indicated otherwise. Mr. Stuckey explained that the City has a product with an unlimited demand and an unwillingness of anybody to pay for it. He stated we need to find out what it is we are buying and then what it is costing us, noting one of the budgetary processes is to overcome consumer resistance. Therefore, the BOC is currently focusing on several subcommittees, the first of which is a Budget Process Subcommittee, which has had one meeting. Mr. Stuckey stated it was brought out at that meeting, that the City has an incremental budget, which does not show what the City is receiving for the dollars being spent, noting this is a traditional budget, but is dying a fast death in private industry. He stated the subcommittee is working with the city managers in making the budget part of the planning of the operations of the government so that changes in processes and approaches can be seen and monitored, by using the budget as guidance. He gave as an example - what does it cost an individual to put a patrol car on the street. He stated if a person does not know how much it costs, it is hard for them to know whether they are getting a good deal. Mr. Stuckey indicated that another subcommittee is studying compensation, noting their goal is to develop comparisons of City employees with other public and private entities and to develop breakdowns of what a pay package is. Mr. Stuckey stated another subcommittee deals with relations - to communicate with other boards and committees, telling them what we are doing and to get feedback from them in terms of things they have seen. He noted the other subcommittee is data processing. Mr. Stuckey stated the BOC is reviewing the Hughes -Heirs Report, department by department, seeing what changes have been made. He noted that governmental account-ing can tend to have more controls over activities, and private entities base internal controls on a risk factor. As an example, he asked if it is worthwhile trying to prevent an employee from SRCC MINUTES (Regular) 3/6/95 Page 5 SRCC MINUTES (Regular) 3/6/95 Page 6 walking away with $100 from petty cash, what is the likelihood of it happening, and what kind of controls do we want to put on it? City government is a different question because if an employee walks with $100, that can be a political bomb. There is a risk -reward factor that is not weighed the same in public as in private. Mr. Stuckey stated the BOC is also looking at a P.0.S.T (Police Officers Standard and Training) audit which is a state agency under the Attorney General. He stated they do audits of Police Departments at no fee, noting while it does not cost the City a fee to P.O.S.T, it does cost a lot in time for the Police Department and the City Manager's office. The BOC wants to look at the Police Department section of the Hughes -Heirs Report in comparison to P.O.S.T to see if they are similar. Councilmember Zappetini referred to the compensation analysis and asked if it would be compared against the private sector or other cities. Mr. Stuckey stated it could hopefully be done against both. Mayor Boro asked if they are going to compare costs as well as educate the public on what they are receiving for the money they spent. Mr. Stuckey stated if they can capture the data properly in the budget process, then those kinds of comparisons are possible, noting right now, the organization of the budget does not allow that to be done easily and on an ongoing basis. Councilmember Cohen asked if the BOC has discussed alternatives to an incremental budget. Mr. Stuckey stated there are many ideas in the public sector, and the Finance Director has publications showing budget processes from different cities and different ways to look at budgets. Councilmember Heller asked if the BOC has looked at any ways to educate the public. Mr. Stuckey stated they have not, but it is something that needs to be done. City Manager Nicolai stated one of the exciting things about this Committee is that their views are giving us ideas on how to format and chart information into the budget that could become part of an information brochure that could be separate from the budget process itself. Councilmember Phillips stated it is important to strive to make the budget under-standable by individuals. He asked if there was anything in the audit report regarding internal control that the Council should be aware of. Ms. Nicolai stated BOC's discussion came out of the review of the Hughes -Heirs Report, and one of the recommendations had to do with the petty cash. She stated the Committee discussed the advent of corporate credit cards rather than petty cash and the role of their risk-taking versus the perception of the public that we give everybody credit cards. Mr. Phillips stated he is concerned about the capital portion of the budget which is basically nonexistent, noting we have an operating budget but not a long-term deferred maintenance budget, nor long-term capital project budget. He asked if it was within BOC's scope to address this. Mr. Stuckey stated one of the things the Committee wants to look at is a five-year budget, and they have talked about the capital improvement budget which is constrained by the fact there is no money. Councilmember Phillips stated he wanted to be involved in putting together a five-year projection. He also asked about measuring benefits of adding services. He gave as an example, spending a little more for services, but the return is compounded. Mr. Stuckey stated this refers to intangible benefits to the community based on additional services, but you still have the problem of not having the money to spend for those services. He agreed that there are instances where, by spending a small amount of money, the City could reap a lot of benefits, but the City does not have the money to spend. Mr. Stuckey pointed out that the recent labor negotiations which have increased salaries cut into the cash reserves. Mr. Phillips suggested that we at least look at leveraging the $4 million in reserves to determine if there would be some benefits. Mr. Stuckey agreed that there might be some things where a minimum spending of dollars could enhance the life of the public, and if the BOC finds anything, they will present them to the Council. Councilmember Phillips asked if there might be some areas where the City could work together with an institution like Dominican College where we might both benefit, such as data processing. Mr. Stuckey said the Committee is open to anything, and Joint Powers Agreements are of particular interest. SRCC MINUTES (Regular) 3/6/95 Page 6 SRCC MINUTES (Regular) 3/6/95 Page 7 Councilmember Cohen stated the Council needs to look at the way we handle the budget, the choices we are making. He stated he would be in favor of the Council making the policy choices and letting the professionals decide how to allocate the money within each area. He stated that over the years it has been easier to deal with operations and keep putting off decisions regarding the capital budget, which is a strong argument for a five-year plan, although knowing it would be difficult because each year the State gives money and then takes it away. Mayor Boro pointed out that the budget is eighty percent salary, which leaves very little latitude for other things. He agreed it is nice to have choices, but the amount of discretionary funds is limited. Councilmember Cohen stated he was not talking about discretionary funds, that we make choices when we make the budget. Ms. Nicolai pointed out that this Council has been dealing with very tight, cut-back years, so there has been almost nothing to choose from. She stated when the salaries account for eighty percent of the budget, you're "playing with the pencils and the bullets". Councilmember Phillips stated he did not agree with that because it is possible, even when it does not seem like it or may not be comfortable, but it may be necessary to make choices. He noted if we ignore the capital because we are spending all our current revenue, we miss an opportunity to factor that in, and the only way we are going to do it is to reconfigure our thinking. Mayor Boro asked that Mr. Stuckey pass on to the BOC on behalf of the Council, our thanks for their effort to date. He stated one of the things that is important is to talk about the good things, and there are a lot of good things that happen in the City, noting those things need to be highlighted to the public through positive rein-forcement if we need to look for new revenue sources in the future. Councilmember Heller suggested letting the public know how well the Police and Fire Departments and Public Works came through the recent winter storms, noting we need to reinforce when we do a good job. Ms. Nicolai suggested that whatever the BOC discovers, that they talk with neighborhood associations since that type of rein-forcement is often more effective from an outside source. Mayor Boro suggested the BOC help the City to develop a strategy for publicizing what we are doing. 13.
