REPORT ON INTERCHANGE FUNDING POLICY BY CALIFORNIA TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION (PW) - File 11-16 x 171 The California Transportation Commission has adopted a policy for the funding of interchanges and crossings on the state highway system. The policy is based on the recognition that all funding for the construction of public improvements is severely limited. The Commission found it necessary to identify those categories of interchanges and crossings that would have first call on state and federal funds. At the same time, it also found it important to assure equity in identifying interchange and crossing projects where local public and/or private participation were possible. A principal problem for local jurisdictions is one of equity. Without any guidelines, some jurisdictions were participating at a very high level for an interchange improvement, while another jurisdiction may have received a similar interchange improvement without any participation. The adopted interchange and crossing funding policy includes the following provisions: A. Interchanges and crossings constructed as part of a new state highway would be fully funded with state and federal funds. B. Interchanges and crossings rebuilt as a result of the widening of a state highway would also be fully funded with state and federal funds. C. Interchanges and connections between two state highway routes would be fully funded with state and federal funds. D. Interchanges and crossings called for in freeway agreements or other documents would be funded as called for in that documentation. E. Other proposals for new or improved interchanges and cross- ings on existing state highways would be judged by the severity of existing congestion and accident rates at that location. 1. Those suffering the worst accident or congestion rates would be eligible for full state and federal funding. 2. Those suffering moderate congestion or accident rates could be funded jointly by the state and local juris- dictions, or would wait until the priority increased sufficiently to become eligible for full state and federal funding. 3. Those experiencing low congestion or accident rates could be programmed if local or private funding were available, or could be programmed at a later date with state, federal and local funds when the severity of these problems increase. F. Findings may also be made by the Commission, on an exception basis, to increase the eligibility for state and federal funds under one of several circumstances, including a demonstrated inability of the project to achieve a county's SRCC Minutes (Regular) 6/18/84 Page 3 SRCC Minutes agular) 6/18/84 Page 4 minimum allocation, the necessity of the project to capture all available federal funds, or the critical importance of the project for statewide objectives other than reducing congestion and accidents. In considering the impact of this policy on existing or proposed projects, it appears as though they would fall into category "E". The Merrydale Overcrossing clearly relieves congestion and has a tolerable congestion at this point. The Northgate area plan, however, identifies that traffic conditions will become intolerable (Level of Service E) as ultimate buildout occurs. Thus, the precise participation by CalTrans is subject to further discussions. The Bellam Boulevard/Highway 17/101 Interchange will also fall under category E. The staff recommended that the Council accept this report. Councilmember Frugoli asked that two Councilmembers work with the staff to monitor the California Transportation Commission activities as they relate to the City of San Rafael. It was decided that Mayor Mulryan and Councilmember Nave would work with the staff. Councilmember Frugoli moved and Councilmember Breiner seconded, to accept the staff report.

PUBLIC HEARING - NOTICE OF IMPROVEMENT, CIVIC CENTER - NORTHGATE ASSESSMENT DId'rt iuT: (PW) - File 6-42 a. RESOLUTION DETERMINING PUBLIC CONVENIENCE AND NECESSITY b. RESOLUTION APPROVING REPORT AND ASSESSMENT Mayor Mulryan opened the public hearing. Public Works Director David Bernardi explained that this is the last step in forming the assessment district for the construction of the Merrydale Overcrossing. This district is unusual in that the final protests will be heard, as far as the district is concerned, but the project will not be advertised to bid or bonds sold for at least one year. This is being accomplished at this time to meet the conditions of approval for the project proposed by Equitec on the hill next to the Velvet Turtle. A grading permit has been issued but not a building permit. Other participants in the assessment district will be allowed to proceed with their projects and still meet the con- ditions of approval. A Request for Qualifications has been submitted to CalTrans for review, for sub -contracting the engineering part of the Merrydale Overcrossing. It is anticipated that the design will be underway in about three months and once the plans and specs are completed, bids will be called for. By this time next year, the City will be in a position to sell bonds. As there were no comments from the public, Mayor Mulryan closed the public hearing.

PUBLIC HEARING - Z84-4 - REZONING FROM "M" TO P -D DISTRICT FOR 39,300 SQ. FT. HOME IMPROVEMENT RETAIL CENTER; 530 FRANCISCO BOULEVARD WEST; REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY/McPHAIL'S, C�0 RAY HOFFMAN, OWNERS; CITY OF SAN RAFAEL, REP.; AP 13-051-06 & 0 (P1) - File 10-3 x (SRRA) File R-227 Mayor Mulryan opened the public hearing. City Manager Robert Beyer recommended that the item be continued indefinitely due to the fact that the zoning change was contingent with the specifics of the Final Development Plan for McPhail's and now those plans have changed. It will be brought back to Council at a later date and the public hearing re -noticed. Mayor Mulryan closed the public hearing. The Council approved staff's recommendation to continue the item without motion. 16. PUBLIC HEARING - ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 19, OPEN SPACE, BY ADDING A NEW SECTION 19.10.070 THERETO ENTITLED: EXCEPTIONS, AND NEW SECTION 19.10.080 ENTITLED: "APPEALS" - File 13-14-1 x 9-1-2 Mayor Mulryan opened the public hearing. Public Works Director David Bernardi reported that this item is a follow-up on a review of a proposed septic tank leachfield in open space. The City's current Open Space Ordinance does not contain a provision for an appeal process and this amendment will allow for that in accordance with various laws. Staff recommends passing the ordinance to print and, at subsequent meetings, will be bringing the Council requests for variance for the use of the open space. There being no comments from the public, the hearing was closed. The title of the Ordinance was read: "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN RAFAEL AMENDING TITLE 19, OPEN SPACE OF THE SAN RAFAEL MUNICIPAL CODE BY ADDING NEW SECTION 19.10.070 ENTITLED: EXCEPTIONS, AND NEW SECTION 19.10.080 ENTITLED: "APPEALS" Councilmember Nave moved and Councilmember Breiner seconded, to dispense with the reading of the Ordinance in its entirety and refer to it by title only and pass Charter Ordinance No. 1486 to print by the following vote, to wit: AYES: COUNCILMEMBERS: Breiner, Frugoli, Nave, Russom & Mayor Mulryan NOES: COUNCILMEMBERS: None ABSENT: COUNCILMEMBERS: None 17. REPORT FROM MAYOR RE STATE OF THE CITY PROGRAM - File 9-1 Mayor Mulryan reported that the concept of a State of the City Program had been discussed with the Chamber of Commerce President several months ago. The purpose of the event is to provide a State of the City Address by the Mayor and a Business Address by the Chamber of Commerce. This event would be co-sponsored and could provide awards to the outstanding business person and citizen of the year. The Chamber has asked for $5,000 to help finance this program. The Council expressed support for the program. Councilmember Russom said he felt attention should be paid to ways of bringing a broader segment of the public into the event. The program was conceptually approved by the Council without motion, and staff will be coming back to the Council with a proposed budget. 18. RE UEST FOR CONSIDERATION OF INSTALLATION OF TRAFFIC CONTROL DEICES ON GRAND AVENUE (PW) - File 11-9 Mayor Mulryan stated that he and Dr. Fred London had met on this issue previously and at that time the Police Department was asked to assist by increasing their patrols of the area. Dr. London wrote again recently, asking to have the problem of speeding in the area reviewed. Mayor Mulryan explained that he wrote a letter to Dr. London in which he reviewed the various staff conclusions which indicated there was a speeding problem and that the way to solve the problem would be additional traffic enforcement. SRCC Minutes (Regular) 6/18/84 Page 5 SRCC Minutes (l,.;gular) 6/18/84 Page 6 At the time of his letter to Dr. London, additional Police patrol was requested for the area. Mayor Mulryan said at that time it was his opinion and that of the staff that this was the best way to handle the problem of speeding. Dr. Fred London stated that three years ago residents of the area met with Councilmembers or their representatives, to discuss this issue. At that time it was agreed that there was a serious speed- ing problem and that something must be done. Dr. London said the reason he is back is that the problem has not begun to be solved. He said there have been two deaths in his neighborhood in three years due to speeding. Dr. London stated that the neighborhood has asked for a crosswalk at Watt and Grand, as well as a bike/jogging path, to no avail. Police Chief Henry Ingwersen stated that through an Office of Traffic Safety grant, the Police Department was able to get three additional motorcycle Officers. He stated that the problem in the Dominican area is not one of people speeding, but running the stop signs. Over 60% of the tickets issued in that area are for running stops signs. He indicated that the Police Department has stepped up the enforcement in that neighborhood. Several residents in the Dominican area including Jim Greenan, John McCabe, Henry Shultz, Marcia Kupfer, Linda Markwick, Judy Ingram, Harry Wall and Kathy Martin, spoke in favor of installing stops :signs in the area. They indicated that there was a serious problem with speeding; that they were fearful of letting their children play near the street because of the danger; that there have been several accidents resulting from speeding in their neighborhood. Public Works Director David Bernardi stated that an extensive study had been done by the Traffic Engineer, which included radar studies. He said staff felt that a stop sign at Palm and Olive would serve some purpose. Traffic Engineer George Gerth reported that from an engineering standpoint, stop signs have been provers to be an ineffective method of traffic speed control; -chat the major purpose of stop signs is to assign the right of way at intersections that have large traffic volumes. He stated that the percentage of people who speed or are reckless drivers will generally not stop at the stop signs. Staff was directed to look into the matter of a bike/jogging path on Grand Avenue. After discussion, it was moved by Councilmember Breiner and seconded by Councilmember Frugoli, to continue the traffic enforce- ment in the area; to look at the possibility of new signing indicating "children at play"; to install stop signs at Palm and Grand and Olive and Grand, as well as southbound on Grand at Belle; to install a stop sign at Acacia and Grand on a six month trial basis; and to work with the Dominican College to help improve the traffic situation.

STATUS REPORT ON HIGHWAY 101 CORRIDOR PROGRAM (Pl) - File 11-16 Planning Director Anne Moore reported that this report was prepared at the request of Councilmember Frugoli to advise the Council of the progress of the Highway 101 Corridor Program. In the coming weeks the consultant will be proposing some alternatives and soon the participating parties will need to make formal recommendations on them. The Council accepted the report without motion. SRCC Minutes (Regular) 6/18/84 Page 6 SRCC Minutes (Regular) 6/18/84 Page 7 20. RESOLUTION OF FINDINGS DENYING Z83-16 - REZONING FOR AMENDMENT TO SMITH RANCH MASTER PLAN, "GALLINAS VILLAGE", AREAS 5 AND 12 (Pl) - File 5-1-290 x 10-3 Mayor Mulryan indicated that the Council has the opportunity to accept the Resolution of Findings or to reconsider this action, due to the fact that the proponent has asked the Council to con- sider some changes in the plan, specifically to increase the amount of housing and increase the amount of acreage donated to housing and to have the developer actually construct the housing. Councilmember Russom stated that he met with Dr. Grausz since the last meeting and feels his modifications and ideas have execellent potential for the good of the City. Councilmember Breiner stated that she is philosophically opposed to the idea of senior luxury housing being the main portion of this housing opportunity site in San Rafael. Councilmember Russom moved and Mayor'-Mulryan seconded, 'to rescind -the Council's previous action denying the application for Gallinas Village. AYES: COUNCILMEMBERS: Frugoli, Nave, Russom and Mayor Mulryan NOES: COUNCILMEMBERS: Breiner ABSENT: COUNCILMEMBERS: None Councilmember Frugoli moved and Councilmember Nave seconded, to reconsider the revised plans for Gallinas Village on July 2, 1984.

PEACOCK GAP IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT (PW) - File 6-37 Public Works Director David Bernardi stated that the next to the last step in setting up the district would be with adoption of this Resolution to approve the Engineer's Report, appoint the time and place for hearing protests and calls for bids on the proposed improvements. He explained that the project consists of five phases - water tank construction, some water main extensions, sub- division improvements, Peacock Manor and Peacock Estates, and widening ofPt. San Po dro Rd. The Engineer's Preliminary Estimate, including all assessment district financing is $8,876,000. Councilmember Russom moved and Councilmember Breiner seconded, to adopt the Resolution, as presented. RESOLUTION NO. 6852 - RESOLUTION APPROVING ENGINEER'S REPORT ON PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS IN CITY OF SAN RAFAEL, PEACOCK GAP IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT, AND APPOINT- ING TIME AND PLACE FOR HEARING PROTESTS TO SAID IMPROVEMENTS AND CALLING FOR BIDS ON SAID IMPROVErENTS (PEACOCK GAP IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT) ( August 6, 1984 @ 8:00 PM) AYES: COUNCILMEMBERS: Breiner, Frugoli, Nave, Russom & Mayor Mulryan NOES: COUNCILMEMBERS: None ABSENT: COUNCILMEMBERS: None (Councilmember Frugoli left meeting) 22. BID RESULTS - 552 "B" STREET, SAN RAFAEL - LEASE OF CITY -OWNED PROPERTY (RA) - File 2-8-25 Redevelopment Program Manager Howard Ours reported that, as a result of public advertising, two bids were received for a lease at 522 "B" Street. The high bidder was Stephen West with a bid of $2,210 per month. The appraisal the City had done showed a rental value of approximately $2,000 per month. Staff's recom- mendation is to pass an Ordinance to print providing for a five year lease to Mr. West, which could be cancelled with a one-year notice; lease to be adjusted annually, as discussed. The title of the Ordinance was read: SRCC Minutes (Regular) 6/18/84 Page 7 23 24 SRCC Minutes ( rular) 6/18/84 Page 8 "AN ORDINANCE PROVIDING FOR THE LEASE OF PUBLIC REAL PROPERTY AT 522 B STREET (A.P. 13-061-40) TO STEPHEN WEST" Councilmember Breiner moved and Councilmember Nave seconded, to dis- pense with the reading of the Ordinance in its entirety and refer to it by title only and pass Charter Ordinance No. 1487 to print by the following vote, to wit: AYES: COUNCILMEMBERS: Breiner, Nave, Russom & mayor Mulryan NOES: COUNCILMEMBERS: None ABSENT: COUNCILMEMBERS: Frugoli (Councilmember Frugoli returned to meeting RECOMMENDATION RE STREET TO BE NAMED "JENSEN" (CM) - File 11-2 At a previous City Council meeting, staff had presented a number of alternatives to the Council for its consideration concerning the renaming of an existing street or the naming of a new street after former Councilmember Fred Jensen. It was suggested that the newly constructed private street in the Grove Hill Development be named after Mr. Jensen. The Council asked staff to contact the developer to see if this was feasible. The developer indicated he was willing to name the street after Mr. Jensen. Mr. Clifford Elbing, Chairman of the Committee to Name a Street for Fred Jensen, of a San Rafael citizens group, asked that the Council consider using "Drive" or "Way" after "Jensen", instead of "Street." Councilmember Nave moved and Councilmember Russom seconded, to approve naming the newly constructed private roadway within the Grove Hill Development as "Jensen Way". AYES: COUNCILMEMBERS: Breiner, Frugoli, Nave, Russom & Mayor Mulryan NOES: COUNCILMEMBERS: None ABSENT: COUNCILMEMBERS: None REPORT RE CLOSED SESSION POLICY (CA) - File 9-1-2 x 9-3-16 City Attorney Peter Muzio stated to the Council that this item is on the agenda for the Council to consider whether or not it wants to adopt policies on the procedural aspects of closed session meetings. He is raising the question that once the decision is made to hold a closed session, to what extent should disclosure be made as to the subject matter in those sessions and the method of disclosure. As outlined in the report, there is a wide range of discretion in deciding what and how much to disclose. The Council is required to discuss, in general terms, the subject matter it intends to discuss (either before or after holding a closed session.) Once it is concluded, the Council is required to disclose action taken regarding personnel issues. City Attorney Muzio said there are three separate issues: (1) Whether the Council wants to identify by name items to be discussed at the closed sesssion, (2) Should the Council disclose actions taken? (3) Who speaks for the Council if it elects to disclose an action of closed session? After discussion, the Council agreed to (1) identify all items by name except those deemed particularly sensitive by the Council, (2) disclose any actions taken unless deemed particularly sensitive by the Council, and (3) have Mayor Mulryan be the spokesman for the Council regarding closed sessions, and in his absence, the City Manager would serve as the spokesman. The Council also agreed to hold its closed sessions prior to the Redevelopment Agency meetings at 7:00. If the closed sessions go beyond 7:30 p.m., they will be continued until after the Council meeting. SRCC Minutes (Regular) 6/18/84 Page 8 25. 26. 27. SRCC Minutes (Regular) 6/18/84 Page 9 REPORT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE: (a.) CIVIC CENTER NORTH (b.) GALLINAS VILLAGE (c.) 1600 SECOND STREET (CM) - File 9-1-3 Councilmember Breiner reported that the Development Review Com- mittee reviewed the 1600 Second Street project. The current proposal consists of 25 rental units (eight studio apartments, 13 one -bedroom apartments, and 4 two-bedroom apartments) ranging in size from approximately 500 square feet to 800 square feet. One of the 25 units is specifically designed as a handicapped unit. This proposal utilizes ,the same building footprint and general site design as the office building approved for the property in 1978. The Development Review Committee felt the project deserved to go through the process. The Civic Center North and Gallinas Village projects will be on the July 2, 1984 agenda. The Council accepted the report without motion. INSTALLATION OF PARKING METERS ON TAMALPAIS AVENUE AND "C" STREET SOUTH OF THIRD STREET (PW) - File 11-18 Public Works Director David Bernardi stated that the Public Works Department has determined a need to install parking meters on previously unmetered portions of Tamalpais Avenue between Fourth Street and Mission Avenue and on "C" Street between Second and Third Streets. This action will allow more efficient control of the on -street parking in these areas.

FREITAS PARKWAY (PW) File -11-8 Traffic Engineer George Gerth stated that when a bicycle path was proposed for construction in 1976 at the viesterly end of Manuel T. Freitas Parkway, the City Council passed a "no parking at at time" restriction for the same area. The parking restriction was requested by various property owners in Green Oaks to control loitering and other social problems. In addition, fire danger was a great concern at that time. There have been a few complaints each year from persons who felt it was an inconvenience to have to park further down the hill when they wanted to access the open space. A request was received from Kathy Horowitz who asked that the restrictions be modified. The Traffic Safety Committee proposes that (a) unrestricted parking be provided between Arlene Terrace and Iris Lane (b) parking be pro- hibited from the end of Manuel T. Freitas Parkway easterly 50 feet (c) parking be prohibited between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. between the end of the NO PARKING zone in (b) above and Arlene Terrace. Several persons, both for and against lifting the present restric- tions, were heard. After much discussion, Councilmember Breiner moved and Councilmember Frugoli seconded, to approve the recom- mendation of the Traffic Committee and staff on a six-month trial basis.

CONSIDERATION OF MODIFYING PARKING AT THE FIFTH AVENUE AND LOOTENS PARKING LOT (BEHIND 1,4ACY'S) FROM TEN (10) HOUR METERS TO TWO (2) HOUR METERS (PW) - File 11-18 The existing City parking lot at Fifth Avenue and Lootens Place has a combination of 13 two hour limit meters and 16 ten hour limit meters. The Downtown Parking District Advisory Committee has recommended that this lot be converted to all two hour limit meters. As this lot is quite close to the downtown core, the change is consistent with the City's objective of providing long term parking in fringe areas or the parking structure at Third and A Streets. Councilmember Frugoli objected to removal of all the ten-hour meters because he felt some should be left for the employees who work in that area. It was explained that with the addition of the 26 monthly spaces in the parking structure and additional ten --hour meters on Tamalpais Avenue, there would be ample areas to park for the employees in the downtown. Councilmember Nave moved and Councilmember Breiner seconded, to adopt a Resolution designating all parking stalls in the Fifth and Lootens parking lot as two-hour limit meters, on a six-month trial basis.

REPORT RE BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS(CM) - File 9-2 City Manager Robert Beyer explained that some time back the Council had asked for staff to review the present structure of the City's boards, commissions and ad hoc committees and to give an analysis of their purpose, effectiveness and whether or not they should be continued. He suggested that the Council might want to reagendize this matter for some time in September after the various boards commissions and committees have had an opportunity to review the report and provide comments. It was agreed, without motion, to bring the matter back to the Council at an undetermined date in September.
