Council er Brenner said she thought it would be appropriate for Council to ask that a hearing be held before the Planning Commission, After the motion before Council was adopted, on the plans for the Southern Pacific depot. The depot straddled the San Mateo and Santa Clara county lines, and a community -wide discussion ahould be held. She wanted, at present, to have Council discuss whether or not the! depot was an appropriate place for a transit interface; there had been some thought that California Avenue might be a more suitable location. Concii er Witherspoon said she hoped that staff would work with the Historical Society to update the Santa Clara County Resource Inventory. Councilmember Fazaino observed that the Historical Society. had decided to keep the historical preservation issue in committee for a hearing than was planned in August or September. Whet issues would be discussed at that neeting? Councilmember Witherspoon said that there was such discussion as to what € should and should not be included in the owe. __Those who _ live _ in Professorville would be moot impacted by the ordinance. To settle what issues should be talked about it had been decided to send a questionnaire to find out from prospective participants what should be discussed; also, University Park had thought of having a neighborhood meeting on Covncil.member Sher confirmed that a moiling giving a simple erplana`ion of what the ordinance might entail and asking neighborhoods what specific concerns were of interest had been proposed. That vas why the matter had been retained in committee ---it was awaiting that process. MOTION PASSED: The motion. that Couacil approve the recommendations of the Policy and Procedures Comnittee relating to the Hietoric Preservation Committee's suggestions, passed on a unaninous vote. MOTION: Couacilmember Brenner moved, seconded by Fletcher, that Council direct the Council's transit repr eentati.ve, Ulan Fletcher, to ask the Transportation CoCommission to refer the subject. of plans for the Southo n Pacific lailway depot, to the City of Palo Alto, eo tests Palo Alto Planniag Commission can hold a public hearing on the effect on the City 16. 7/2/79 corrected seer tpage 55 8/6/79 of CaiTrans and Santa Clara County Transit plans for the SP depot_, District, before the plans beeaa,e too firm. Councilmember Fletcher said that within the Transit District two committees were looking at ways to improve the transit situation at the SP depot at University Avenue, Ted No3uchi, Transportation Director of Palo Alto, usually attended the meetings, which were held at Palo Alto City Hall. Councilmember Fletcher said she chaired the Citizens' Advisory CrImmittee. That committee was to have a public meeting at Lucie Stern Community center July 12, at 7:30 p.m., Room D. The Citizens' Advisory Committee had spoken of the possibility of having Southern Pacific relinquish its building to the County of Santa Clara, with the county leasing space back to the SP for its ticket facility with the balance of the building being given to transit information via a staffed information desk and also the possibility of leasing space for food outlets, or other uses. The parking lot was in poor repair; there had been talk of building an island for passenger transfer from one route to others. She was sure that the plans would come before Council when they were more clear; that might be in mid -September. Ken Schreiber, Assistant Director Planning and Comity Environment, Director, said there were two committees working on the topics --one was made up of citizens, and which was advisory to the county; the second committee made up of staff was reviewing the process developed by the county staff. The second committee was trying to stay at the concept level, he said. The citizens advisory committee would recommend to the county, and then the staff committee, made up of both county and city staff, would return to Council with a concept formed of various elements such as location --not architectural detail. Council would then decide if it wanted to proceed with the conceptual plan, and what process should be used. Perhaps it would be to direct staff to start sorting out the complicated lease arrangement among Stanford, the City and the county. Responsibility for the various properties would he shifted around, with the City attaining control of propertiies now leased by Stanford to SP theta subleased to Santa Clara County. Next a specific plan, haled on a concept approved by Council, would go to the Planning Commission and the Architectural Review Board, much as was the case with site and design applications. In dealing with park -dedicated land there was the question ofa ballot measure . _leg it fr:..:.,. dedication. Some of the subject mad tied in with the veterans building which was on park - dedicated land. Councilmember Brenner- said she thought that the City should begin discussing the matter-el/heti general discussion ebaut leases began it could narrow the discussion down to thinking of the universityAvenue 3.. �p�� � �� ...�w�.e� a'ld' --� ^-r^�''t as the maim • terminal and from a planning standpoint the magnitude of increased traffic might not make that a good transfer point. If the main terms was to be at California Avenue the size of the area to be considered aleht be changed.She would like both California and tax,;vere:t: .„�.ee &Tete te lee in the considerations She was euare that the moecy for tales the c=anon was for University Ate. But she did mot want the county to assume the City vented that as a transfer point until California Avenue had been considered. Mr. Schreiber said that the county bad:money at present to build sin transfer centarn - oust . Nimy ire s - of the qty were clamoring for a transfer point, be said, but transfer point was definitely to be at Palo Alto. The countythought the Est priority was in the University Avenue area; Palo Alto's Comprehensive Plan called for transfer points at both California and Unversity Ate. The county thought the need was greatest in the SP area and so that was shy it pursued the transfer center for that location. : ;'a d Council -.v the matter to go directly to the Planning Commission, from - county? Councilmember Bremer said it was - natipe main focus 7 7/2/79r „thought that question posed a technicality; wanted to have the natter subject to public hearing at the Planning Commission level. It would be all right if it were to come to Council first. Mayor Henderson said that the main thing would be for the matter to reach the Planning Commission. There was no special referral --the matter could come to Council first. orrected see page 55 8/6/79 t MOTION PASSED: The motion that Council direct the Council's transit representative, Councilmember Fletcher, to ask the Transportation Commission to refer the subject of plans for the Southern Pacific Railway depot to the City of Palo Alto, , to that the Palo Alto Planning Commission could hold a public hearing on the effect on the City of carrying out plans of CeiTrans and Santa Clara County Transit District, for the SP depot before the plans became too firm, passed on a unanimous vote. Council er sn.•_ . aid SB664 case to his attention through his membership in the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission, (BCDC), the staff of which was very concerned that the bill, now passed in the senate, might also pass the assesdely. The bill concerted access easement over dry land guaranteeing public right to use of wetlands and waterways as open space and for navigation, fishing, and recreation. The bill spoke to an ancient public right, and it existed on tidelands and submerged lands. Swamp and overflow lands, as they were classified, Councilmember Sher said, did not include submerged lands, that were subject to the public trust, but during the California gold rush days some surveyors attested that some of them were tidelands and waterways. In that way some tidal and submerged land became erroneuuely termed swamp and overflow lends, and were held in private cwnerahip. SB664 would remove swatp and overflow land titles, though many of them were illegal in that they included land which was in public trust. The bill was being sponsored by a title association, in order to clear titles to land. Councilmember Sher said he had brought the matter to the attention of the City Attorney who, in a letter to Coencilmember Sher, dated June 7, said he had reviewed the bill and said that he thought that as the bill was currently written the City of Palo Alto should oppose it ---one reason being that about 5000 awe.;res - the • • a• c •• t� bay h J T► a 1 9 i ir__ , - sw in r.•t middle of -the 6.d7.0 w$� .N¢'�11J, J6114'�1!l.J� plated in private ownership though these tidelands patents. On June 28 the City Attorney had written that the boundaries of the patents were unclear and ran into open water, and removal of the subject areas could limit public accessiblity to those Areas. The City Attorney showed how that possible limitation could affect Palo Alto. NOTION: Councilmember Sher moved, seconded by Renee', that the City Council go on record as being opposed to 5B664 and that the mayor be instated to write letters to the Assembly and Resources and Land _ C.fttaa and nthar_ appro pr4ato-haA4aa .�.as.saw41.e..e9.ee cit7t.. .... ....d4dw..,_ -s r- -r �__��� .�..�� . ���•:a ..r ..o..J a viil^v Councilmember Witherspoon said that though the Palo Alto yacht harbor might fall within some of the subject area the City owned it and could aessure public access. CouncilmeMber Sher said that the City would protect the public trust bet loamy other claims to the lands were . being made. If SB664 -into - force there would be a brood effect around the bay. Lennie Roberts, 1176 person, spoke for the Committee for the Green Foothills, saying she supported Councii aber's hr's opposition to SB664. It wee a giveaway of public rights and the most far-reaching and r. 11 R . 7/2/79 shocking piece of legislation to be considered within the past several years. The state controller, Ken Cory, was a member of the State Lands Commission, and he had estimated that about $200 million subject to public trust would be given to private landowners if the bill passed. She found it incredible that the senate had passed the bill, for the impact on the state if it had to re -acquire rights of way for the public would be extremely high. She said that Bay Conservation Development Commission (BCDC) and State Department of Water Resources, State Parks and Recreation, State Fish and Game, Boating and Waterways, State Lands Commission and the Coastal Commission, among others, were opposed to SB664, as were the organisation, she represented, and the Peninsula Conservation Center, the Sierra Club, the Planning and Conservation League, Coastal Alliance, and the National Wild Life Federation. She said she knew that the City of Hayward had opposed the bill. Mayor Henderson confirmed that BCDC had taken formal action through that group to oppose SB664. MOTION PASSED: The motion that the City Council go on record as being opposed to SB664 and that the Mayor be instructed to write letters to the State Assembly and also the Resources and Land Ccmeittee and other appropriate bodies expressing Palo Alto's opposition to SB664, passed on a unanimaus vote. orrette Councilmen -her Fletcher said she would like to amplify on the county action in response to Mr. )tcC.oskey's oral communication earlier that eebpagpage "' evening. In the spring of 1978 the county had applied for about $1 million in transportation development and funding for bicycle aad pedestrian facilities in the county. The Transportation Agency was to be the lead agency, with the funds to be funneled through Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) , MTC dssSanded that the county apply in the fors of a list of projects listed according to priorities over three years. Deadline for the application for projects for the forthcoming year was to have been April 1, 1979. The Board of Supervisor* had decided applications were to take that form, and the board referred allocation of funds to MTC. MTC referred it to one of their committees, Highways, Bikeways and Airports Cdi4Bw ttee. Tat c itrom mot s¢ timess twice but at least once a month for the purpose of determining criteria on which projects would be funded. The committee had asked the ty* a Public Works officials orgsa nation for its input, and it returned with its recommendation to the Righweye, Bikeways and Airports Committee, Along with input from public worts officials, traffic departments bicycle organizations and the likethroughout the county. A process bad been worked out whereby funds would be allocated on the basis of 70 percent on population, 10 r cent on =witty tr i Pe c9 m� plans,(approved 9y both cities and thecounty), 10 percent to go for innovativeprojects, fi �-C.� percent would sr to .projects of aerit, that is; to alleviate particular problems. The Hf ghways s PAkeweyq end 1$. r'~ Committee bad t.hen sent its recommendation to MTC, which had adopted the recommendation unanimously, - then sent it to the Baird of Supervisota. After that adoption, projects from the eltimia hAA hams collet stab All h. t A 'AIM ♦eve4i.A4e.t-ie4»$ _ drs 1.41.0. in.wp+a.. bad applied for projects, and the total cast of all the projects case to about $ _ .5 R n morei= than . fps available. ` All of the , Applying cities did obtain funding, but seam projects had . been pared don • San Jose, for melee, had been granted funds for about ten of its twelve projects. Palo Alto had applied for fundine for Arastradero Road pathways, end for bicyele lockers for each. of the three shopping diotricts, Midtown, California Aveae►ue, and university Aevnee. CCoaecilmember Pletcher continued. Q 7/2/79 see page 55 8/6/79 She said that the committee had sent its final list of projects to the MTC, which had approved it and sent it on to the Board of Supervisors. The Board of Supervisors had passed the entire list of projects on June 18 and forwardedeit to MTC. The Highways, Bikeways and Airports Committee had thought the process tad endeairith that, but unannounced, on June 25, in the afternoon, after the MTC, with those of the public who had attended that meeting, had adjourned further discussion and action occurred. On June 25 a handwritten note from the County Executive informed the Highways, Bikeways and Airports Committee that the matter had been returned to MTC and that the approval of the project funding had been rescinded and MTC was to see that Supervisor McCorquodaale's district got more funding. HTC, Councilmember Fletcher said, "...was absolutely dumbfounded" that a matter referred to them for settlement had been taken over by the board of Supervisors. The funding was jeopardized because applications had been due April 1, and had already been extended for three months. On July 2 the MTC expressed its dismay at having to Correttedeuart the process all over again and at having to explain to each city see page this change of affairs. 55 8/6/79 Councilmeabcr Fletcher suggested that one of the City staff could attend the Board of Supervisors meeting July 3, or telephone to express the City's concern about the proceee having been aborted and having to start the process all over again. George Sipel, City Manager, said be thought telephoning would be most effective; he would do that first thing in the morning. Couneilmember Fletcher said she had told Ted Noguchi, Director of Transportation, what had occurred. corrected MOTION: Councilmeinber Fletcher moved, seconded by Fazrino, that Council direct staff to telephone the Board of Supervisors on July 3 saying that the . etion taken by the Board was unacceptable to the City and that previously approved projects be applied for, by the City, from MTC. Councilsesber Sher determined that since the Arastradero project concerned his employer, Jtaiifoed University, he would not vote. Couocil er Witherspoon said she would abstain for the a reason Coumcilneiber Pletcher explained that the City had two projects, one within the City for bicycle lockers; the second project for Arastradero Road patt ays was outside the City limits. correctedrphtahi Knox, .erector of Plenniig and amity Environment, _amplified see Page tat the portioe jai Araatcadero between Deer Creek Load and the City 55 limits was questionable so far as whether or not it was within City 8/6/79 limits —at least 90 percent WAS within the City limits unquestionably. r'w ^.11--aw er Levy azeettaleed that the portion of Arastradero that rign f ...R Foothill stess y to Der Creek Road would not be affected, corrected 1 1TON PASSED: The motion thet Council direct staff to telephone the see page Board of Supervisors to say that the actin taken by the Board was 55 unacceptasble to the City (regarding the Highways, Bikeways and airports 8/6/79 _ _ _ Commission projects) and that prinairiiaa.7 approved project z_ applied , -- -� --F�....-.t.+. project; ha a(e�?J„tiaSi nor, by the City, from MTC„ pasty! on the following vote: ATE: Brenner, Byerlly, Fassina, Fletcher, Henderson, Levy, Revel. ABSTAIN: Sher, Witherspoon COUNCILMEMBER EYERLY RE CMR:329:9 7773011MAIULANi SERVICES Councilmember Eyerly said that he would like to talk about the report CMR:329:9 which Councilmembers had received at their places that evening. Council had set the policy of seeking money in lieu of paramedic services, which the City supplied to itself. The County had offered to have ambulance service as back up for the paramedic service now available in Palo Alto. There had been no discussion in the report of in -lieu money and whether or not it was a good idea to have an ambulance available as backup to paramedic. When was the plan to be activated? Mr. Sipel replied that the countywide system had one into effect July 1. The only change had been that the San Jose Ambulance Company was to transport patients, rather than Palo Alto's paramedic service. The San Jose Ambulance Company was' now called the Santa Clara Valley Ambulance Company, he said. The question of in -lieu funding had not yet been raised. The negotiation process was taking place and when it was resolved the in -lieu funding matter would be raised. Mt, Sipel said "...but I don't think we've given up anything in terms of strategy to the county as a result of what's included in this memo." There would continue to be a charge to the patient for the ambulance service --from $30 to $40, depending on the kind of call. Palo Alto's charge, when it came into effect, would be the same, Until then the Board of Supervisors in Santa Clara County would establish the charge. Although the company was based here, Palo Alto would not use the Santa Clara Valley Ambulance service, but would continue to use its own. Councilmember Eyerly commented that he did not feel good about the present situation. He would await more information. WELCOME TO NEW COUNCILMEMBERS Councilmember Sher observed that new-Councilmember Renzel's parents were present in the Councllcha ber that evening.
