Police Chief Guardino presented the staff report and described the financial impact of the County charging booking fees to cities, and how the proposed JPA for a Drop-Off Center will not only be cost effective, but decrease the time an officer is taken off his patrol. Police Chief Guardino advised the the overwhelming majority of bookings are alcohol related and that the Drop-Off Center will have a 24-hour counselor on duty, and the program is entirely voluntary and at the discretion of the officer. Police Chief Guardino commended the County for their support of this program. Ti tl e read.

Introduction of proposed Relocation Ordinance (203-04) REPORT: Community Development Director, April 16, 1992 Housing Director Church presented the staff report stating the Council first approved the concept of relocation assistance in the Housing Element of the General Plan adopted in 1990, and described the benefits to displaced tenants provided by the proposed ordinance. Housing Director Church described state mandated payments with a cap of $5250 over four years, and how this ordinance will require the owner of the property to pay this benefit, not the City. Councilman Murray suggested that six months was not long enough in this low vacancy market and suggested twelve months; and, advised a cap was needed to ensure a reasonable payment, suggesting using the state cap. Discussion ensued regarding older units as most affordable; requiring an amount that would prove not to be a disincentive nor punitive; and the right amount for a cap over 12 months. Don Bryant, San Mateo County Legal Aid, spoke in support of the ordinance. Councilman Murray requested amendment to section 42.4 (d) (ii) of ordinance to read "A replacement housing payment not to exceed a total of $1500.00 for a 12 month period." Title read.
