12. ACCEPTANCE OF AUDIT FOR THE CITY OF SAN RAFAEL (Fin) - File 8-1
Mayor Mulryan commented to Finance Director Coleman that the new format
implemented on the acquisition of assets is a good one but inquired
if the procedure for determining the original cost of fixed assets
acquired before 1985 had been changed.
Finance Director Coleman responded that fixed assets acquired within
the past 20 to 30 years could not be commented upon because no records
were kept and to even attempt to acquire this information would require
many man hours with expense amounting to approximately $30,000, adding
that there is no available money.
Mayor Mulryan stated that the overall report was well prepared.
Councilmember Breiner moved and Councilmember Frugoli seconded, to
accept the audit report.

21. PUBLIC HEARING - ED86-101; APPEAL OF PLANNING COMMISSION'S DECISION
OF JANUARY 13, 1987, TO UPHOLD ZONING ADMINISTRATOR'S DENIAL OF FREEZER
UNIT ADDITION; 615 FOURTH STREET; GELATO INC., OWNER; CHRIS KYRIACOPOULOS,
REP. & APPELLANT; AP 14-122-13 (Pl) - File 10-7 x 115
Mayor Mulryan declared the public hearing opened.
Planning Director Moore stated that while the recommendation to remand
the item back to the Zoning Administrator seems complicated, it is
actually laying the ground work for the approval of the project.
She indicated that a Use Permit and Design Review Application are needed
and complimented staff member Scott Anderson who worked with the appellant
in resolving the problem concerning the addition of the freezer unit.
Councilmembers commended Ms. Moore and Mr. Anderson for their part
in working with the appellant.
Mayor Mulryan called upon anyone wishing to address the item.
There being no comments from the audience, Mayor Mulryan closed the
public hearing.
Councilmember Breiner moved and Councilmember Frugoli seconded, to
accept staff recommendation to remand the item back to the Zoning
Administrator for Design Review and Use Permit conditional approval
with a Parking "Exception" to permit the installation of the freezer
on a temporary basis.

MENT APPLICATIONS FOR: (Pl) - File 10-6 x 115
(a) ADDITION TO WHISTLESTOP SENIOR CENTER; 930 TAMALPAIS AVENUE;
ED RYKEN, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, MARIN SENIOR COORDINATING COUNCIL,
INC., APPELLANT; AP 11-277-01
(b) ADDITION TO FORMER TICOR OFFICE BUILDING; 1200 LINCOLN AVENUE;
COLIN C. CLAXON AND JERRY M. ACKERET, APPELLANTS; AP 11-186-11 & 15
Mayor Mulryan declared the public hearing opened.
Planning Director Moore stated that upon the termination of the Develop-
ment Moratorium seven months ago, the Resolution adopted by the City
Council set the ground rules for processing of development applications
while the General Plan revision was ongoing.
She indicated that the two appeals before Council are different in
that they involve additions to existing buildings and uses. Ms. Moore
then addressed both appeals as follows:
(a) Whistlestop had secured State and Buck Fund Grant money to add
more square footage to the building. As a result of filing the City
applications for the additional footage, the floor area ratio (FAR)
does not comply with the Draft General Plan and would exceed the pro-
posed limits. A question has been raised whether the caps on FAR should
be absolute for quasi -public non-profit organizations such as Whistlestop.
Ms. Moore stated it is not staff's intent to do this, explaining that
FAR's have been proposed by staff as a means of placing a maximum
ceiling on development proposals, as it affects parking in the downtown
area. However, in this project, parking demand or traffic generation
would not apply.
(b) The former Ticor building site triggers questions, i.e. is the
floor area ratio appropriate for the entire vicinity because individual
properties have not been spot -designated. Ms. Moore informed Council
that aside from the appeals, the Draft Plan being reviewed by the
Planning Commission is at the point where land use is being reviewed
which includes floor area ratios. Ms. Moore stated that Ticor has
a unique situation that does not exist with other projects in the
SRCC MINUTES (Regular) 4/6/87 Page 5
SRCC MINUTES (Regular) 4/6/87 Page 6
City; and that its applications were secured prior to the development
moratorium for the enlargement and remodeling of the building proposed.
At the time most projects with similar circumstances were securing
building permits prior to the adoption of the development moratorium,
this property was involved in foreclosure and there was not a party
of interest to come forward and apply for and secure a building permit
prior to the moratorium. A building permit was issued in October
after the adoption of the resolution with a note that a certain amount
of square footage on the second floor would not be able to be office
use consistent with the Draft General Plan. Again, she noted this
project is unique in that they had prior approval that would have
allowed what they are asking for through the appeal process.
Ms. Moore stated that both these questions should be referred to the
Planning Commission, because as far as the appellants are concerned,
there are site specific questions being raised that are actually extend-
ing to other properties surrounding these properties or similar kinds
of uses in the City which are spin offs of larger questions.
After further discussion by Council, Mayor Mulryan called upon anyone
wishing to address item (a).
Mr. Ed Ryken, Executive Director for the Marin Senior Coordinating
Council, stated that he is pleased that the City is trying to work
out the problems with their proposal, and agreed with the recommendation
made by staff.
There being no further comments, Mayor Mulryan closed the public hearing
on item (a) Whistlestop Senior Center only.
Councilmember Willms moved and Councilmember Breiner seconded, to
uphold staff decision to refer the appeal back to the Planning Com-
mission for their modification of public use of this type for Whistlestop
Senior Center.
AYES: COUNCILMEMBERS: Breiner, Frugoli, Nave, Willms & Mayor Mulryan
NOES: COUNCILMEMBERS: None
ABSENT: COUNCILMEMBERS: None
Mayor Mulryan continued the public hearing on item (b).
After discussion by Council on the minor modification, Mayor Mulryan
called upon anyone wishing to address the item.
Mr. Jerry Ackeret, Appellant and one of the two owners of the former
Ticor Building, stated they would like to move their business into
this building as soon as possible and thanked staff, naming Ms. Moore
and Paul Jensen, for their efforts on this project; also requesting
there be no further delay on their project.
There being no further comments, Mayor Mulryan closed the public hearing.
Councilmember Nave moved and Councilmember Willms seconded, to grant
the appeal for the addition to the former Ticor Office Building.

23. REPORT CONCERNING CHILD CARE CENTER AT BAHIA VISTA SCHOOL (Rec) File
4-7-17 x 9-3-65
Recreation Director McNamee stated she would request an extension
to the School District at their Wednesday meeting to allow child care
to remain on campus at Bahia Vista School through the middle of August.
She then suggested the children could be relocated to Short School
until a long range plan could be worked out after that time.
Mayor Mulryan stated that Council felt there is room on the Bahia
Vista School campus to allow the child care center to remain on the
site.
SRCC MINUTES (Regular) 4/6/87 Page 6
SRCC MINUTES (Regular) 4/6/87 Page 7
Dr. Nancy Dalton, Superintendent of San Rafael Schools spoke, explaining
that enrollment at Bahia Vista School is on the increase and above
what was projected. She stated that the school was built to house
325 students but now has 404 students and with three day care agencies
leasing space from the school, it became necessary to set up two class-
rooms elsewhere which caused disruptions in the school. This increase
resulted in informing the agencies the school needed to have the space
returned this September. She further explained that the school has
contracts with the three agencies which state that if the leases are
to be changed, notice would need to be sent six months before any
change can be made. Letters were sent in November notifying the three
agencies of the change that would take place on June 30, 1987. Dr.
Dalton indicated she realized this would create a hardship with all
three agencies and stated one agency has already moved to the San
Pedro School site which leaves the Canal Community Alliance and the
City of San Rafael's day care programs to be relocated.
Dr. Dalton stated there have been several discussions since the letters
were sent out and noted that Recreation Director McNamee wanted to
possibly move the program to Short School which also is leased from
the San Rafael School District. She indicated that in the City's recom-
mendation from the information the School District has, there was
a clause stating that perhaps the District would pick up (the cost
of) busing, which would not be possible. Dr. Dalton stated buses
do pass Short School day care and therefore students wanting to go
to Short School from Sun Valley and Coleman Elementary Schools are
allowed to utilize the buses with many of their parents paying for
this; however, it would not be possible for the School District to
pick up the cost of busing the Bahia students to the center and back.
She further noted the Bahia School site is small and that they have
already added six portables, and would not be recommending any further
portables be installed.
Dr. Dalton stated that at the upcoming Wednesday meeting she would
be recommending to the Board of Education that an extension be made
beyond June 30 to August 15, 1987 at which time the classrooms are
then to be returned back to the School District.
Ms. Susan Fisher, parent of one of the children attending the Canal
Community Alliance day care after school, stated that the deadline
is approaching very soon and suggested having day care at Pickleweed
Park as a possible solution.
City Manager Nicolai responded stating that the program cannot be
moved to Pickleweed Park right now, and in a meeting with Kathy Campbell
of Canal Community Alliance and Barbara Seller of Community Action
Marin, discussions were held on short term solutions by September
but is not possible because there are no funds available. She indicated
that grant applications have been filed to acquire additional portables
but even at that the site would not be ready by September. Ms. Nicolai
indicated she is concerned as to what the School District will do
during the next year to either relocate or open a magnet school and
that child care should be in some proximity if not on campus, adding
that going through the expense of creating a location before knowing
where the children will be moved within a year is an irrational expendi-
ture of funds and should be coordinated with the School District so
their long range plans tie in with the City's plan to put child care
close.
Mayor Mulryan indicated acceptance of the staff report and called
for comments from the public.
Jim Caleshu, attorney with the law firm of Pettit & Martin in San
Francisco and representing the Bahia Vista School's Children Center's
parent's group, stated he would be attending the School District meeting
on Wednesday and would be proposing to the School District that an
extension be made for one more year to work the problems out with
all sub -committees involved to allow for child care on the school
site.
Councilmember Frugoli moved and Councilmember Breiner seconded, to
endorse the proposal made by Attorney Jim Caleshu that an extension
be made for one more year to the Bahia Vista School's Child Day Care
Center to work out the problems with all sub -committees involved
to allow for child care on the school site.

24. CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST FROM COALITION TO SAVE OUR DELTA FOR ADOPTION
OF RESOLUTION SUPPORTING COMPREHENSIVE DELTA LEVEE REHABILITATION
PROGRAM - File 9-1 x 9-5 D
Councilmember Breiner stated that some aspects are appealing and some
are costly and asked to have more information as to who categorizes
the group of beneficiaries. She noted that there are some cases where
maintenance of the Delta levees is so costly it may become like some
instances along the seacoast where nature takes over and monies would
not be of any help and could be used for other programs in the State.
Council agreed not to adopt the Resolution at this time and directed
Administrative Assistant Harry to gather information from the State
legislature for Council's review on any other proposals.
25. REPORT ON REQUEST TO INSTALL AN IRRIGATION SYSTEM ON CITY -OWNED PROPERTY
ON ELDA DRIVE (PW) - File 9-3-40
Public Works Director Bernardi stated he had discussions with Mrs.
Beryl McGreevy on irrigation and landscaping on Elda Drive and informed
her that the City did not have any funds to renew the irrigation system
which has deteriorated over the years. Mrs. McGreevy, on her own,
collected $3,000 from her neighbors and was asking the Council to
match the committment to provide for the installation of the irrigation
system. Mr. Bernardi indicated that staff was in agreement and proposes
to have the Marin Conservation Corps provide the labor for the installa-
tion, who will do this job in lieu of paying rent on the Agency -owned
property at Fourth and Irwin Streets.

26. REQUEST FOR ENDORSEMENT OF PROPOSED MAJOR CRIMES TASK FORCE 1987-88
BUDGET AND COST SHARE ALLOCATIONS (CM) - File 4-10-114 x 9-3-4n x 8-5
Councilmember Frugoli disqualified himself from participation because
of conflict of interest, stating that his wife works for the Major
Crimes Task Force.
In response to Mayor Mulryan's question if the figures listed are
actually attributed to the Major Crimes Task Force, Police Chief Ingwersen
stated that the figures in the staff report are statistics compiled
either by the unit or the District Attorney's Office as submitted
through the court system. He added that if it were not for the Major
Crimes Task Force Unit these confiscations would not have taken place
and explained further that no agency, with San Rafael being the largest
in the County, has the resources to take nine people and have them
concentrate on this type of crime problem.
Mayor Mulryan indicated that his concern is focused on the Major Crimes
Task Force going after major crimes by getting at the network as opposed
to little crimes that could be handled in the jurisdiction of the
individual Police Departments.
Police Chief Ingwersen commented that they work with the State and
Federal authorities on the large cases, noting there is a middle area
which they are unable to touch as an agency but emphasized this type
of unit is necessary in order to reach the element affecting not only
the jurisdiction in San Rafael but the entire County and Bay Area.
He added that once it moves out of the County and into the Bay Area,
they then coordinate with both the State and Drug Enforcement Adminis-
tration.
SRCC MINUTES (Regular) 4/6/87 Page 8
SRCC MINUTES (Regular) 4/6/87 Page 9
In response to Councilmember Breiner's concern regarding the cost
of rent, Police Chief Ingwersen responded that the unit was relocated
because the facility they had occupied proved to be too small for
the daily operation, adding that it was also part of the 6 -month budget
this year and is being reflected in next year's budget.
Councilmember Nave moved and Councilmember Willms seconded, that Council
endorse the proposed Major Crimes Task Force 1987/88 Budget and Cost
Share Allocations.

File 163 x 11-1
Councilmember Breiner stated that she received a letter from the Gerstle

City Manager Nicolai explained that she requested Planning Director
Moore to leave the decision open until discussions are held with

and circulation which might result from it. Therefore, the recommen-
dation made by the Planning Commission was to leave the Andersen Drive
terminus optional until all areas were covered.
