ORAL COMMUNICATIONS OF AN URGENCY NATURE:
PROPOSED RENT CONTROL ORDINANCE - File 9-4
Chris Graven of Clark Street approached the podium and brought up the
issue of Rent Control which was not on the agenda. Mr. Graven was

11. PUBLIC HEARING - APPEAL OF HANDICAPPED ACCESS REQUIREMENTS, 1016 and
1020 "C" STREET (PW) - FILE 13-1-1
Mayor Mulryan opened the public hearing.
Director of Public Works Bernardi reported that Ms. Natasha Downing
is remodeling a commercial space and was informed by City staff that
an accessible toilet room was required unless an appeal was upheld
by the City Council. She has since appealed. The estimated amount
for Ms. Downing to comply with the requirement is $10,000. A
representative of the Marin Center for Independent Living made an
inspection and feels that it would be appropriate to modify the
existing toilet room. City staff agrees and this would require the
existing entry door be enlarged so a wheelchair could pass, and a
grab bar be provided. This work is estimated at $500.00.
SRCC Minutes (Regular) 9/17/84 Page 2
SRCC Minute (Regular) 9/17/84 Page 3
Recommendation by the Public Works Department is as follows:
That the City Council, sitting as the Board of Appeals, determine
after hearing all testimony, that in this particular case, the
provision of a completely accessible toilet room would represent
an unreasonable hardship, but that widening of the toilet room
doorway and installation of a grab bar are warranted improvements
and are required. It is recommended that the Board of Appeals,
direct staff to prepare an appropriate Resolution with findings
and bring said Resolution back for adoption at the next meeting.
As there were no comments from the public, Mayor Mulryan closed
the Public Hearing.
Councilmember Nave moved and Councilmember Frugoli seconded, that
the Council, sitting as the Board of Appeals, grants the appeal
with provision that toilet room doorway be widened and a grab bar
be installed, and directs staff to prepare a Resolution with
findings to be brought back for adoption at Meeting of October 1,
1984.

12. DISCUSSION RE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE - FILE 9-2-32
City Manager Robert Beyer indicated that Councilmember Russom had
sent him a note on his concerns of how the Redevelopment Review
Committee functions, and that in spite of how clearly the committee
states their intentions to be, that in practive, when two members
of the Council, including the Mayor, meet with a developer, an
implication is made in the developer's mind that this project is
two-thirds approved, even before the input of Planning staff and
Planning Commission.
Mayor Mulryan commented that this is a service to developers by
two members of the City Council on an informal basis as to whether
their proposals would or would not work.
Councilmember Nave stated that the committee helps to facilitate
the projects, and that it is a worthwhile committee. Councilmember
Frugoli agreed.
Councilmember Breiner stated she has felt uncomfortable about the
committee for 6 to 8 months. She indicated that there should
be precise guidelines.
Mayor Mulryan indicated that would be formalizing the process and
would cause a problem.
After further discussion, Councilmember Frugoli moved and
Councilmember Nave seconded, to 1) Discontinue use of name;
2) Mayor and/or one Designee to meet with developers; 3) informal
report to be circulated to Councilmembers but not placed on agenda.

13. DISCUSSION RE PROBLEM OF SALE OF USED CARS ON SOUTH SIDE OF LUCAS
VALLEY ROAD, EAST OF LAS GALLINAS AVENUE - FILE 13-9
City Manager Beyer reported that Councilmember Russom asked for
Council consideration of this matter because of the number of
complaints received concerning parking in an area on Lucas Valley
Road East of Las Gallinas Avenue. Staff has been working with
the County for several months trying to resolve the parking and
sale of vehicles. However, there was a question as to whether or
not the property in question was in the City or the County. It
has been determined by the Department of Public Works that this
area is under County jurisdiction. Discussions with County
departments (Sheriff's Planning and Public Works) have been
fruitless. Although the Sheriff's Office has worked with the
Highway Patrol, and citations issued, it is not considered by the
County staff as an important issue to resolve.

15. STATUS REPORT RE EVALUATION OF TIMING OF PROJECTS IN EAST SAN RAFAEL
AND CAL TRANS FUNDING (Pl) - FILE 11-13 x 4-3-119 x 11-16 x 171,
City Manager Beyer reported that Council asked for a status report
of development applications in East San Rafael and the relationship
of those applications to the interim and lone -term funding of
Caltrans projects.
On the Interim Funding, improvements for Bellam Boulevard have been
approved, with the engineering design presently underway, and the
plan checking to be completed by the end of October with acquisition
negotiations for approximately 1,000 feet of right-of-way completed
the first part of November. It is estimated the plans will be ready
to go to bid on November 15, 1984.
Because of timing, including winter and holiday_ seasons, it is
recommended that the Department of Public Works advertise the
project the middle of January, 1985 with bids opened on February
11, 1985. Anticipated work would commence the middle of March,
with completion approximately two months later around middle of
May, 1985.
On the Long -Term Improvements, Caltrans'objective is to attempt to
get the project into the 1985 STIP, providing funding in the fifth
year, or 1990. Presently, the Highway 101/Highway 17 interchange
improvements project is a top priority in the Marin County Trans-
portation Improvement Plan.
City Council accepted the staff report without motion. Mayor
Mulryan indicated he would continue to work with William Bagley
and the California Transportation Commission re funding.

16. DESIGNATION OF INSURANCE BROKER FOR THE CITY'S HEALTH, LIFE, DENTAL
AND DISABILITY INSURANCE COVERAGE (CM) - FILE 4-3-124
Assistant City Manager Pam Nicolai reported that on August 15, 1983,
Council recommended that City Manager's staff interview interested
insurance brokers who could provide the service in handling the
City's programs, and that every three years this process be repeated.
After the evaluation process, the firm of Kindler and Laucci was
ranked first. It has excellent experience with local agencies and
the representative assigned to our account has a reputation for
being a problem solver.
Councilmember Russom moved and Councilmember Breiner seconded, to
approve staff's recommendation to designate the firm of Kindler
and Laucci as the City's broker of record for the purpose of
managing health, life, dental and disability insurance for the City
of San Rafael.

CLASSIFIED) DISTRICT TO PCM (PLANNED COMMERCIAL AND LIGHT INDUSTRIAL)
DISTRICT - (1111-1151 ANDERSEN DRIVE)(P1) - FILE 10-3
Councilmember Russom pointed out that when the vote was taken on
the Resolution (certifying the negative declaration) at the last
meeting of September 4, 1984, he was under the impression that he
was voting for a period of two years between date of issuance of
use permit for the first building and the second building, not one
year. Councilmember Russom then moved for reconsideration of the
Resolution.
Councilmember Breiner asked City Attorney Muzio whether she could
second the motion and he indicated she coul;: not, as she had
voted against the Resolution.
The motion died for lack of a second.

18. STATUS REPORT RE INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT BONDS (CM) - FILE 8-22
a. CHANGE IN FEDERAL LEGISLATION
City Manager Beyer reported that the Tax Reform Act, signed into
law on July 19, 1984, by President Reagan drastically affected
the City's Industrial Development Bond Program (now called Private
Activity Bonds). Instead of the City being able to issue I.D.B's.
under its charter provisions, the Federal Government has allocated
an allotment equal to $150 per capita to each state.
In accordance with the Federal Act, the Governor issued a
Proclamation defining the limits of the Private Activity Bonds
until the appropriate regulations can be put in place by the
California Debt Limit Advisory Commission. The Governor's
Proclamation includes the following allocation system:
A. 500 of the State's ceiling is allocated to State Agencies.
The further allocation of this amount (called the State Bond
Limit) is delegated to the Allocation Committee.
B. 35% of the State ceiling is allocated to cities and counties
(counties for their unincorporated areas) on a per capita -basis.
C. 15% of the State ceiling is allocated directly to counties,
based upon their entire population.
The State California Debt Limit Allocation Committee is developing
a policy concerning the mechanism by which reallocation of
allotments might be made. The City will then have to work with
other cities, the County and the State to obtain additional
SRCC Minutes (Regular) 9/17/84 Page 5
SRCC Minutes (Regular) 9/17/84 Page 6
allocations for the City of San Rafael. It is important that the
City save its present allocation for the PG&E relocation project,
and not approve further inducement resolutions until further
information is obtained.
Councilmember Nave moved and Councilmember Breiner seconded, to
adopt an interim program of not adopting inducement resolutions
for any future projects until the reallocation guidelines have
been developed by California Debt Advisory Commission Allocation
Committee.

NOES: COUNCILMEMBERS: None
ABSENT: COUNCILMEMBERS: None
b. RECOMMENDATION RE CIVIC CENTER PLAZA PROJECT
City Manager Beyer reported that on May 21, 1984, Resolution No. 6824
was adopted for the purpose of providing Industrial Development Bonds
for the Civic Center Venture's Office project. It provided an amount
of $10 million for a proposed 96,000 square foot office complex.
David Sargent, representing Civic Center Plaza requested that the
City indicate by letter, its approval for a tenant he is negotiating
with, and who would provide approximately $40,000 in sales tax
annually to the City. That tenant is Williams Sonoma. Mr. Sargent
has also received a letter of intent from an office supply company
that would generate$10,000 in sales tax annually.
The Office Supply Company was not accepted at this time.
City Manager Beyer explained that a Public Hearing has to be held
and some five different actions are to be approved in relation
to the Bonds.
The Council, without motion, unanimously approved the staff recommen-
dation that the Williams -Sonoma tenant meet the terms of intention in
Resolution No. 6824 which Council adopted on May 21, 1984; also, that
the Williams -Sonoma tenant have his lease negotiations done prior to
the time the financial people come back with the Resolutions and Bonds
for Council's approval prior to sale.

19. REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION RE CORPS OF ENGINEERS' CANAL STUDY (PW) -
FILE - 12-9
Director of Public Works Bernardi reported that they have received
correspondence from the Corps of Engineers regarding the flooding
program adjacent to San Rafael Canal. Public Works previously
indicated that it was possible to study the flooding problem in
both the Section 205 Program and under the General Investigations
Program, but the Corps now tells us that we must make a choice
between the two programs. If Section 205 is considered and the
Corps determines that construction is viable, then a maximum of
$4 million can be allocated by law. The remainder of the project
costs are to be borne by the local jurisdication with costs of
approximately $11 million.
The General Investigation Program requires Congressional authorization
to conduct studies to determine the solution to our problem. They
estimate the study would be completed in fiscal year 1989-1990,not
including delays.
A Feasibility study might require a 50o participation by the City
and is estimated to be $200,000, and be completed by 1991-1992.
The last step would be the construction phase requiring us to
fund 350 of the total construction cost of approximately $4.5
million; estimated time for construction to begin is 1994-1995.
SRCC Minutes (Regular) 9/17/84 Page 6
SRCC Minuted (Regular) 9/17/84 Page 7
Staff concludes that the General Investigations Program is the
appropriate method for a permanent solution to the flooding problem,
and is currently developing a program for the interim period and
will present it at the October 1, 1984 meeting.
Mayor Mulryan asked Public Works Director Bernardi if it was possible
to split this into two separate projects. Mr. Bernardi said it had
to be either/or as the Corps could not take one section of the canal
at a time.
After further discussion, Councilmember Breiner moved and Council -
member Frugoli seconded, to accept the staff recommendation that a.)
the Corps of Engineers be notified that the City of San Rafael
wishes to proceed under the General Investigations Program to achieve
a permanent, long range solution to flooding adjacent to San Rafael
Canal; and b.) that staff notify our Congressional Representatives
of the Council's decision and request their assistance and guidance.

20. AMENDMENT TO ASSISTANCE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF SAN RAFAEL AND
THE SAN RAFAEL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL DISTRICT AND THE SAN RAFAEL HIGH
SCHOOL DISTRICT (CM) - FILE 4-16-7 x SRRA R-5, 6, 7
City Manager Beyer reported that when the Council was approving the
Assistance Agreement between the City of San Rafael, San Rafael
Elementary School District and San Rafael High School District, the
School Board was also considering the matter, and subsequently
made two modifications in the agreement. One change provides for
the term to be twenty years instead of fifteen years, and the
other combines the previous items 2 and 6 to provide maintenance
for both San Pedro School and Davidson School fields in the same
sentence,rather than two separate sentences.
Councilmember Breiner asked if we will be picking up all insurance
costs. City Manager Beyer indicated we would not.
Councilmember Nave moved and Councilmember Breiner seconded, to
adopt a Resolution Authorizing Execution of (Amendment to)
Assistance Agreement.

21. REQUEST FOR AUTHORIZATION TO PROCEED WITH APPRAISAL AND FEASIBILITY
STUDY FOR CHEVRON PROPERTY AT FOURTH AND LINCOLN AND CITY -OWNED
CORPORATION YARD PROPERTY AT SECOND AND LINCOLN, INCLUDING SHELL
STATION (RA) - FILE 2-7 x 2-19
Program Manager Howard Ours reported on the property exchange with Chevron
and the impacts of separating the Shell property from the Corporation
Yard with the expressed interest by potential developers of the PG&E
Service Center at Second and Lindaro.
Staff recommends that a consultant be hired to investigate the
economic and land use impacts of the exchange. Staff would also ask
the consultant to analyze the development potential of the Fourth
and Lincoln property at an estimated cost of $15,000; also order
SRC C Minutes (Regular) 9/17/84 Page 7

SRCC Minutes kRegular) 9/17/84 Page 8
an appraisal to determine the fair market value of both sites at an
estimated cost of $2,750.
Mayor Mulryan questioned why an outside consultant was needed to do
the job. City Manager Beyer responded that this was due to the
interest of time, and the fact that staff is overburdened with work.
Councilmember Breiner requested that an appraisal also be obtained
for the property at Fifth and Lincoln.
Councilmember Frugoli moved and Councilmember Nave seconded, to
employ an appraiser to determine the fair market value of the Shell
Service Station at Second and Lincoln and the Chevron Station at
Fourth and Lincoln:property,and to include the property on Lincoln
and Fifth. Staff to come back at the October 1, 1984 meeting with a
broader picture of a consultant doing the feasibility study for the
Shell Station/Corporation Yard property and the Chevron Station property
at Fourth and Lincoln.

SELECTION OF CONSULTANT FOR CLASSIFICATION STUDY OF MID -MANAGEMENT
POSITIONS (.CM) - FILE 4-3-125
Assistant City Manager Pam Nicolai reported that Council had
authorized study of management positions to determine their proper
inter -relationship and relative compensation level in 1982. In
the meantime, similar analyses of classified positions have been
ongoing as an in-house project, and staff feels it is important
to have a study done at this time for mid-managment positions.
Presently, City Manager's office is considering reorganizational
proposals within departments and feels that this study will provide
data base to evaluate these proposals. Out of seven proposals
received, Hamilton & Associates is recommended because of their
record in consulting with municipal government and their familiarity
with the organization since they also performed the management study
in 1982.
Councilmember Frugoli indicated that $5,000 was too high a fee for
this service and that the study could be done in-house.
Ms. Nicolai indicated it was her opinion that it would be better to
have an independent firm do the study.
Councilmember Russom asked how frequently a study of this kind should
be done.
City Manager Beyer indicated that it is good to have a review made
every five years; however, this has not been done.
Coundilmember Breiner moved and Councilmember Russom seconded, to
authorize staff to accept the proposal of Hamilton and Associates,
at a cost of $4,850 for the performance of the Classification Study
of the Mid -Management positions, with study to be accomplished
in 30 to 60 days. (Money is available in current budget).
