CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Meeting Date: May 2, 2024
From:Noreen Leek, Parks & Recreation Director
Subject: Firth Park Art Restoration Project
Community Goal/Result
Community Building
Purpose
To increase citizens’ appreciation of art, improve quality of life, and to enhance Brisbane’s identity as a unique community within the greater Bay Area.
Recommendation
Receive the recommendation from the Public Art Advisory Committee and authorize the repairs to the existing art sculptures in Firth Park, in the amount of $5,128.
Background
In 2023, the Public Art Advisory Committee discussed tackling a few small-scale projects. One project included refurbishing the existing art at Firth Park which would include the turtle and helix sculptures.
As evidenced by the photos in Attachment 1, both pieces are in disrepair and in need of significant restoration in order to preserve them as part of the City’s art collection. The Committee directed staff to collaborate with the City’s Public Works team to determine the scope of work required to repair the pieces and to solicit an estimate. The estimate from Carmel Kabash for the repairs is provided in Attachment 2. (Please note: this estimate includes additional work for other projects that are not related, but at this time, Council is only being asked to consider the estimate for the Firth Park turtle and helix.)
Discussion
On April 15th, the Public Art Advisory Committee reviewed the estimate and voted unanimously to recommend the restoration project to the City Council. This stage of restoration would be phase 1 and only includes the structural repair process. A secondary phase of restoration (to artfully redesign the pieces) will be discussed at a future Public Art Advisory Committee meeting. From there, a recommendation would be provided to the council to solicit artists through a formal RFP/RFQ public process in accordance with the art implementation guidelines.
Fiscal Impact
The cost estimate for phase 1 of this project (to repair the existing structures) is $5,128. Funds to support this effort are available within the Public Art Fund (Fund 275). 17 J.

Dear Mr. Black,
Please find enclosed my estimate for painting the Helix and Turtle Sculptures at Firth Canyon Park, as well as the Community Park Pony Wall, and the Police Station interior and exterior wall with moisture issue in Brisbane, CA. The project will be my number one priority and will be executed to the highest standards of professionalism.
I bring considerable skill and experience to the project. I serve residential and commercial clients in the Bay Area community. I do both interiors and exteriors.
I do high quality work from the prep work to the finish coats of paint. For preparatory work, I mask surfaces, do extensive scraping and sanding, patch where necessary, dust, and caulk as necessary. Many low-quality painters don’t do the prep work that I do. I do a full body prime of surfaces and two finish coats of paint using the highest quality paints. Low bid painters cut corners and spot prime and use fewer coats of paint using substandard paint products. My work lasts years. Low bid painters do paint jobs that need to be done over in only a few years. When a client retains my services, they know they will have a paint job that lasts years without failing.
Please visit my website to learn more about my company’s work.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions regarding the project and my qualifications. I hope to have the pleasure of working with you.
Sincerely,
Carmel Kabash

K. Receive Recology Brisbane’s 2024 Rate Increase
23 Solid Waste Collection Rate Adjustment Page 1 of 1
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Meeting Date: May 2, 2024
From: Director of Public Works/City Engineer
Subject: Solid Waste Collection Rate Adjustment
Community Goal/Result: Ecological Sustainability
Purpose: To review rate adjustments submitted by one of the city’s solid waste franchisees.
Recommendation: Receive Recology Brisbane’s 2024 rate increase.
Background
The city has two Franchise Agreements dated November 20, 2014 for the provision of waste collection services, one with South San Francisco Scavenger Company in Solid Waste Collection Zones 1(A&B) and 2, and one with Recology Brisbane in Solid Waste Collection Zone 3. Both agreements have language specifying under what conditions a rate increase may occur.
Discussion
Recology Brisbane did submit a request for rate increase; their proposed rates were reviewed by staff and found to be in accordance with their franchise agreement. Pursuant to each agreement, “. . . not later than June 30th of the year of the Notice of Intention, the City Council shall act upon the new maximum rates as appropriate, with any new maximum rates to become effective on July 1st of the same year.” The rate increase for this year is 2.45%. Last year’s rate increase was 4.64%.
With the company completing their calculation per the agreement, there is no discretionary action for the Council to take.
Fiscal Impact
The effective date of the new rates is July 1, 2024.
Measure of Success
Compliance with the previously agreed upon terms and conditions for rate adjustments.
Attachments

Brisbane, CA 94005
RE: Notice of Intention to Increase Rates & Related Matters Dear Mr. Holstine:
The purpose of this letter is to notify the City of Brisbane of Recology’s intention to increase rates effective July 1, 2024 pursuant to the refuse rate index methodology set forth in the Franchise Agreement between the City and Recology.
RRI Rate Adjustment
Section 6.2 of the Franchise Agreement provides that maximum rates shall be adjusted each July 1 using a refuse rate index consisting of the weighted average of certain index items as specified below. The annual percentage change in each index item and the calculation of the RRI Adjustment Percentage are also set forth below. Accordingly, maximum rates shall be increased by 2.45% effective July 1, 2024 under Section 6.2.
Cost Category Weighting Source/Index Annual % Change in Source/Index
Weighted %
Change
Fixed Labor 0.60 As per CBAs 3.50% 2.10%
Variable/Processing Costs 0.25 CPI(U) 2.62% 0.66%
CNG Fuel 0.05 Fuel Index -6.15% -0.31%
RRI Adjustment Percentage: 2.45%
Franchise Fee Payment
Under Section 4.1 of the Franchise Agreement Recology must make an annual franchise fee payment to the City on or before April 30 of each year. The franchise fee is 14% of Recology’s gross revenues during the proceeding calendar year from the collection and disposal of solid waste within Zone 3. For calendar year 2023, these revenues amounted to $111,404.21. The franchise fee is therefore $15,596.59. We will remit payment before April 30.
Diversion Rate
Section 8.4 of the Franchise Agreement requires Recology to provide the City with an annual written report setting forth Recology’s best estimate of the diversion rate for its Zone 3 customers. 2 of 16
25 K.
2 We estimate based on volume and type of service, that the diversion rate for our Zone 3 customers was approximately 41% for the calendar year 2024.
Thank you for your consideration. We would be happy to meet with City staff to discuss these matters at your earliest convenience.
Sincerely,
Anthony Crescenti
General Manager

L. Receive South San Francisco Scavenger’s 2024 Rate Increase 40 Solid Waste Collection Rate Adjustment Page 1 of 1
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Meeting Date: May 2, 2024
From: Director of Public Works/City Engineer
Subject: Solid Waste Collection Rate Adjustment
Community Goal/Result Ecological Sustainability
Purpose To review rate adjustments submitted by one of the city’s solid waste franchisees.
Recommendation Receive South San Francisco Scavenger’s 2024 rate increases.
Background
The city has two Franchise Agreements dated November 20, 2014 for the provision of waste collection services, one with South San Francisco Scavenger Company (Scavenger) in Solid Waste Collection Zones 1(A&B) and 2, and one with Recology Brisbane in Solid Waste Collection Zone 3. Both agreements have language specifying under what conditions a rate increase may occur.
Discussion
Scavenger did submit a request for rate increase; their proposed rates were reviewed by staff and found to be in accordance with their franchise agreement. Pursuant to each agreement, “. . . not later than June 30th of the year of the Notice of Intention, the City Council shall act upon the new maximum rates as appropriate, with any new maximum rates to become effective on July 1st of the same year.” As noted in the attached letter from Scavenger, the franchise agreement adjusts every third year using a formula based on the survey of thirty-two agencies specified in the agreement. The rate increases for the various services range from 5.67% to 9.2%. The increase for residential property service is 6.7% Last Year’s approved rate increase was 3.9%.
With the company completing their calculations per the agreement, there is no discretionary action for the Council to take.
Fiscal Impact The effective date of the new rates is July 1, 2024.
Measure of Success
Compliance with the previously agreed upon terms and conditions for rate adjustments.

Residential Parking Permit Program Page 1 of 1
Meeting Date: May 2, 2024
From: Director of Public Works/City Engineer

Recommendation
Adopt an Ordinance, waiving second reading, revising Chapter 10.26 to the Brisbane Municipal Code Concerning “Residential Parking Permit Program”.
Background
This ordinance was introduced at the regular City Council meeting held on April 18, 2024, and was passed by unanimous vote with no requested changes.
Environmental Review
Adoption of this ordinance does not need further environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as it is general policy and procedure making not applied to a specific instance and therefore it is not a “project”(California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3, Article 20, §15378 (b) (2)).

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Residential Parking Permit Program Page 1 of 2
Meeting Date: April 18, 2024
From: Director of Public Works/City Engineer
Subject: Residential Parking Permit Program
This Ordinance is exempt from CEQA because it is not a project (CCR Title 14 §15378 (b) (2)).
Community Goal/Result: Safe Community
Purpose
To consider changes proposed to the Brisbane Municipal Code Chapter on residential parking permits that will modify existing requirements for the establishment of a designated permit area.
Recommendation
Consider introducing an Ordinance, waiving first reading, revising Chapter 10.26 to the Brisbane Municipal Code Concerning “Residential Parking Permit Program”.
Background
The use of public streets and establishing an acceptable balance between the needs of all its lawful users (pedestrians, bicyclists, drivers, commercial deliveries, emergency responders and those wanting to park a private vehicle, etc.) is an ongoing tension known to many communities. Establishing this balance can be particularly challenging in cities developed on hillsides, where streets are often intentionally designed with a narrow section to avoid impact on the mountainous topography.
As a result of rising tensions over parking capacity, the City Council charged the Complete Streets Safety Committee with reviewing the issue and developing a recommendation therefore. Council reviewed this matter multiple times in early 2024, and chose to send a letter to residents of Tulare Street and Thomas Avenue asking if they would be willing to participate in a pilot residential parking permit program. Prior to hearing this agenda item, Council will receive a report on the responses provided to staff.
Discussion
The current residential parking program has been codified since 1998, but with the program requiring citizens to obtain 70% concurrence from their neighbors it has never been successfully implemented.
1 of 11 2 of 12
68 N.
Residential Parking Permit Program Page 2 of 2
The primary changes in the attached ordinance;
1. Lowers the percentage of residents required to request a designated permit area to “. . . not less than a majority of the dwellings on each side of the street.” (§10.26.040 B)
2. Clearly provides Council the authority to impose residential parking restrictions by resolution. (§10.26.010 D)
3. Throughout the ordinance provides structure for the implementation of the program, defines the vehicles impacted, and assigns oversight responsibilities to various city departments
Fiscal Impact
None as a direct result of introducing this ordinance. Previous staff reports by the City’s Deputy Director of Public Works have offered estimates on the cost to implement the two pilot streets now under consideration.
Measure of Success
A revised municipal code that allows residents and the Council to establish a parking program that is appropriate for individual neighborhoods.
Environmental Review
Adoption of this ordinance does not need further environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as it is general policy and procedure making not applied to a specific instance and therefore it is not a “project”(California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3, Article 20, §15378 (b) (2)).

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF BRISBANE
REVISING CHAPTER 10.26 TO THE BRISBANE MUNICIPAL CODE CONCERNING
RESIDENTIAL PARKING PERMIT PROGRAM
The City Council of the City of Brisbane hereby ordains as follows:
Sec�on 1. Chapter 10.26 to the Brisbane Municipal Code is revised to read as follows:
“10.26.010 Purpose of chapter.
This chapter has been adopted for the following purposes:
A. To create a voluntary program that will enable persons residing in the city to request the establishment of residential parking restrictions within the area where they reside which are in addition to, and likely to be more restrictive than, the city's standard parking regulations for such area; B. To provide for the issuance of a certain number of parking permits to the occupants in such designated areas, the display of which will serve to exempt their vehicles from the operation of the parking restrictions;
C. To promote a cooperative effort among persons residing in the city in dealing with a shortage of parking spaces on the streets where they reside by enabling them to recommend such parking restrictions as they determine to be appropriate for their own neighborhood; D. To authorize the City Council to impose by resolution residential parking restrictions for those streets or portions of streets and related requirements as determined appropriate and necessary to alleviate parking space shortages.
10.26.020 Definitions.
As used in this chapter, the following words and phrases shall have the meanings respectively ascribed to them in this section:
A. "Designated permit area" means a contiguous area of a residential zoning district, containing not less than ten (10) dwellings, upon which the city council imposes parking restrictions in response to a petition to do so submitted by persons residing in such area in accordance with this chapter.
B. “Dwelling” means a dwelling as defined in Section 17.02.235 of this Code.
C. "Motor vehicle" means automobiles as defined by California Vehicle Code §465 and including leased motor vehicles and company owned motor vehicles used by a person residing within a designated permit area as a primary vehicle for transportation, motorcycles as defined by California Vehicle Code §400, trucks or other motor driven vehicles not exceeding seven thousand (7,000) pounds curb weight.
The following (which are not exhaustive) do not meet the definition of “motor vehicle” as defined in this subsection: commercial trucks and truck tractors, boat trailers and all commercial trailers, recreational vehicles including campers, coaches, house cars and trailer coaches, and commercial passenger vehicles such as limousines, taxis and vanpool vehicles.
D. "Non-resident vehicle" means a motor vehicle parked or left standing in a designated permit area without having displayed thereon a parking permit for such area issued the city pursuant to this chapter, regardless of whether such motor vehicle is owned or being used by a resident of the designated permit area. A motor vehicle parked or left standing in a designated permit area displaying a parking permit for a different designated permit area shall be treated as a nonresident vehicle.
E. "Parking permit" means a permit issued by the city pursuant to this chapter to an occupant within a designated permit area for display on a motor vehicle owned or used by such occupant or his or her guests which is parked or left standing within the boundaries of such area. 3 of 11 4 of 12

Q. Planning Program-70 Old County Road/Parkside/Crocker Park (It is being recommended that the City Council provide direction for future planning efforts in this area and authorize staff to prepare a scope of work reflecting the City Council’s direction.) 94 Planning Study-70 Old County Road/Parkside/Crocker Park
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Meeting Date: May 2, 2024
From: John Swiecki, Community Development Director
Subject: Planning Program-70 Old County Road/Parkside/Crocker Park
Community Goal/Result
Community Building - Brisbane will honor the rich diversity of our city (residents, organizations, businesses) through community engagement and participation Purpose
For the City Council to discuss the objectives, scale and scope of future planning efforts in the 70 Old County Road/Parkside/Crocker Park area.
Recommendation
That the City Council provide direction for future planning efforts in this area and authorize staff to prepare a scope of work reflecting the City Council’s direction.
Background
In early 2022 the City of Brisbane purchased the approximately 1.27acre former Bank of America site at 70 Old County Road. The City Council expressed its intent and desire to engage the community in a thorough and thoughtful manner to determine the preferred land use of this key site at the entrance to Brisbane. Staff solicited a proposal from Good City land use consultants to undertake a community visioning process for the site. Before the City Council considered the proposal in October 2022, councilmembers expressed concerns that a planning effort limited to the site was too narrow in scope, and that the planning effort should be expanded to properties included in Parkside Precise Plan area, specifically the adjacent Brisbane Village Shopping Center. In further discussions with the Economic Development subcommittee (Councilmembers Cunningham and Lentz) it was suggested that consideration be given to further expanding the planning program scope to include Crocker Park, with an emphasis on evaluating the potential for future housing sites within Crocker Park.
The item was tabled as Planning staff’s resources were directed toward completion of Housing Element and ongoing efforts with other large scale planning projects such as the Baylands and Quarry redevelopment. In the 2023-24 Community Development Department budget, a placeholder of $150,000 was included to advance this work program, with the understanding that the final scope and budget would be subject to City Council approval. However, it was ultimately pulled from the budget as an item that would be reconsidered later in the fiscal year.
Discussion
In order to move planning efforts forward, the scope of work needs to be defined to enable staff to prepare a request for proposals for the appropriate consultant services which will be required. 95 Q.
Planning Study-70 Old County Road/Parkside/Crocker Park
There are advantages and disadvantages with the various approaches that have been discussed to date.
Limiting the scope to the city-owned site at 70 Old County would result in reduced planning cost and time, potentially giving the city the opportunity to move forward with a project with high community impact relatively quickly. On the other hand, planning for this site without better understanding and/or defining what will happen on adjacent properties could result in a piecemeal development that may not be the best fit within the long terms plans for the larger area.
A broader, comprehensive planning program addressing the adjacent shopping center (or larger geographic area) could have a greater community benefit in the long term by establishing a proactive vision that promotes cohesive and compatible development over time. A broader planning effort will be more expensive, complex and time consuming than a program focused solely on 70 Old County Road.
Additionally, including privately owned properties the city does not control creates uncertainty as to the implementation of a future plan. It is unknown how this might impact the City’s ability to move forward with a meaningful project at 70 Old County Road on a stand-alone basis.
In regard to the evaluation of potential future housing in Crocker Park, this is a significant policy issue for the City Council to consider. While it is likely that the City will need to provide additional housing sites to satisfy future Regional Housing Need Allocations (RHNA), the extent of potential future obligations are unknown at this time. Assuming the City will need to identify additional housing sites in future RHNA cycles, any City efforts to proactively plan for housing would put the City in a better position in the long term.
Additionally, the idea of studying the potential for introducing housing in the form of mixed use development within Sierra Point and Crocker Park was included in the adopted 2023 Housing Element.
Specifically the Housing Element includes Program 2.A.7 to “study zoning amendments to existing commercial zoning districts, at Sierra Point and Crocker Park, to either allow or require mixed use buildings.” The time frame established in the Housing Element was to initiate such an analysis by the end of 2026. Undertaking such an analysis now would satisfy this Housing Element program.
Fiscal Impact
To be determined based on scope of work defined by the City Council.
Measure of Success
Establishing land use policy direction for the 70 Old County site and surrounding areas as deemed appropriate by the City Council.
