AIRPORT IMPROVEMENTS . _ . _ _-- _ _ _._.:
Discussion of t_he next three Resolutions was _combined .and .presented by
John Scharer. ~~Thisys the seventh~~airport improvement program grant.
• '~ T-here- ~is~ one • parcel of ~ and~:~ whicli~- ewe will• • be .going 'to _ trial on in
November and that clears- -tip .•the •.land•-except for- the appeal on the
Skyranch decision that was previously made which the Council authorized
appeal' of. and- which the-attor..ney.!s-;office. is-~w.orkin.g..~on. This _grant also
covers the ground work necessary to construct 44 publicly owned
hangars for which we have an oversubscription of deposits for renting .
We need to remove or level some of the older buildings on the airport.
This includes the ground work and the foundations necessary to relocate
the Port-a-Ports that are currently out there which.'ar.e _privately~owned
and will continue to be 'privately owned, -but they 'will pay aground rent
under agreements previously approved by the City Council. We will be
relocating the privately owned Nuno's, which are the slightly bigger
hangars and which will-~be• paid for by the- private-owners.. 'The hangar
project is to be financed from $900, 000.00 of loans that were previously
approved 'by the Council of which we have received $580,000.00 to date.
The State is going to be allocating the remaining ~ $320, 000.00 and we
will not need the full $320, 000.00 with the'bids ~ that- we have. The
$320, 000.00 will be available in April from their Revenue Loan Programs .
We are recommending that the Council approve interim hangar financing
through the ABAG PEARL Program that we previously approved _-for'._~_our
capital equipment purchases: ~ ABAG''has~ indicated that 'they will do this
type of financing and are working with David Spilman to put it together.
- There- were• five_--good bids for •th'e • project. `• The._lo.w. bid- was_ Ghillotti
- ~ Brothers = . -$740, 714: 72 : ~ • The high _bid was O: C . Jones - $806, 259.60 .
,~r --The Engineer's estimate ~ was $823,520~.00~. There was'. an alternate bid
.;: : , schedule with the low. bid of $873, 728.86 'and_ a_, high: bid of $9-73, 352.00
::~-~: •~~-_ (.the engineer's' estimate) .. 'The Airport. Commission. indicated that they
~ ~ • -would -like' the • Council to award the - -bid ' to ~ Ghill"otti Brothers fo'r. the low
'... bid and in .the event that subsequent~sfun'ds became• available they would
;; •like to see the work under alternate B proceed under this contract. If
we- twere• to.' re=bid• alternate ~B .=by itself _ it would _.probably ..cost about
$40,000.00 more. ~_ - .:, .. ... _. .. ....- ....
The grant has been returned from Washington D . C•. and is - on 'the desk
in Burlingame. A resolution has been prepared for Council consideration
to accept that grant in the amount of $861, 939.00.

REVISED FLOOD P-LAIN POLICY ~ ~ _.
This is what staff believes to be the direction . by the Council. after its
August 17, 1987, meeting discussing zero net fill and the requirement
. , ~. for. ~ the _ amount _•of filling for projects in .the flood plain. The Council
directed staff to research the question of an a.ltern'ate' that -would either
provide for two feet of fill in the flood plain area 'or a' Hold Harmless
Agreement .
s ,V...~23_ P.. 278
..August 31; 1987
FLOOD POLICY contd. _ _ _ _ . , . _ ~ _ _ ..
It was felt by the Flood Committee. that: enforcement of this policy would
be limited to the area where the zero net fill policy was in effect and
that rather than getting involved with these Hold Harmless Agreements
.that simply requiring the two feet of fill above the base flood elevation
would be the preferred choice. As reflected in .the .resolution., which
sets out the policy on development of flood plain in this particular area
there will ~.be-. two feet of.:fill ~; :abov.e..the base flood elevation ~. in the
specified area and zero net fill in this area. .The area that this .policy
would be applicable to would be that area upstream of the Payran Street
Bridge, the flood plain upstream of the Payran Street Bridge west..of the
101 Freeway, and the area east of the freeway along Willow Brook Creek,
downstream of Old Redwood,, High~way_. ~: Lynn _ Woolsey .requested that the
word "near" be deleted from section 2 of the resolution and John
Balshaw -requested •. an! addition to section. 3. defining base flood elevation
as the base 100-year flood. Larry Tencer made a motion adopting
revised flood plain policy_ . and rescinding :previous . interim policy
•. resolution with the deletion of one word in section 2 and the addition of
the hundred year' .qualifier in _section 3. and John Balshaw seconded the
motion .
