Foster City’s HistoryWith a vision of creating a new town, the family partnership of T. Jack Foster & Sons acquired the four square miles known as Brewer Island in 1960. This land had been reclaimed from the Bay some 100 years ago, when, under a reclamation district proceeding, levees were built in the mud flats adjacent to San Mateo and the enclosed area was permitted to dry. It was put into cultivation and was a vast hay field at the time of acquisi-tion by the Fosters.

While the future government of the area was uncertain and no one knew if it might incorporate, annex to San Mateo or re-main indefinitely in its unincorporated state, the Fosters named the area Foster City to express the new town design concept they envisioned for the development. A model of the early design is on display at the Community Center. The original concept has remained substantially unchanged: to develop a balanced com-munity able to function physically, economically, and socially to meet the needs and desires of its residents.

The only access to the island from San Mateo was on 3rd Avenue—the approach to the old San Mateo/Hayward Bridge— where the toll station also stood. One of the first decisions was to construct a bridge at Hillsdale Boulevard, thereby providing the second point of access from San Mateo to Foster City. The third point of access came when the State built the 19th Avenue Freeway as the approach to the new San Mateo/Hayward Bridge. The new bridge eliminated the lift section over the deep water channel, and the toll plaza was moved to the east side of the Bay in this reconstruction. A section of the old bridge remains today as Werder Pier, a part of the county park system.

A massive construction operation was necessary to convert the land to a new city. Eighteen million cubic yards of fill were necessary to provide gradient for the storm water runoff and cover for the utility lines as well as support for the buildings. Two hundred and thirty acres of lagoons had to be created to collect the storm water and hold it for pumping into the Bay. Water was brought to Foster City through the City of San Mateo from the San Francisco water system at Crystal Springs Road. A complete sewage treatment plant was built with an outfall line carrying the treated effluent over a mile out into the Bay at the deepest part of the channel.

To pay these large front-end costs and to operate the city during the early years prior to incorporation or annexation, the State created the Estero Municipal Improvement District. Since there were no residents, the State gave the land owner the right to vote in this District, to authorize the bond issues and to elect the directors. This legislation provided for a turnover of control to the residents as they began occupying the city.

Enough of the land was prepared and utilities extended that construction of homes could commence in late 1963. By the spring of 1964, these homes were ready for occupancy and the first families started moving in.

T. Jack Foster died in 1968, convinced of the ultimate suc-cess of his great venture. His sons continued the development with large sales of land to other builders and developers. Finally, in 1970, they sold the remaining vacant land, both developed and undeveloped, to Centex West, Incorporated, a subsidiary of Centex Corporation of Dallas.

By 1971 there were more than 10,000 residents, and they vot-ed to incorporate as a city. Since then, public facilities, commer-cial development, and new homes have continued to be built.

The first civic building—a Fire Station—was completed in 1969. In 1972, the City opened a new City Hall, Council Chambers, and Library. In 1974, the Recreation Center opened at Central Park—now known as Leo Ryan Park—on the shores of the lagoon. In 1976, the fourth and last of the bridges cross-ing the Foster City lagoon system was completed and it was named the Bicentennial Bridge. A Police Station located at 1030 East Hillsdale Boulevard was dedicated in March 1985. Construction of a Corporation Yard was completed in 1994.

In 2003, the Government Center Project was completed. The project consisted of the construction of a new City Hall/Fire Station building, the remodeling/expansion of the Police Station, the construction of a new, state-of-the-art Council Chambers building, and Civic Center Master Plan landscape and site improvements.

Today, 49 years after the Foster family first acquired and began building Foster City, redevelopment continues to ensure that Foster City remains one of the best examples of a successful planned community in the United States.


FOSTER CITY’S HISTORY

City ProfileFoster City, nestled beside the San Francisco Bay midway be-tween San Francisco and San Jose, offers the benefits of metro-politan living along with a small town, neighborly atmosphere.

Foster City’s mostly sunny weather allows our residents to relax and enjoy acres of waterways and parks. They also can, within a few minutes drive, be among towering redwood trees or walk on the beach enjoying the spectacular sunsets on the Pacific Ocean.

Foster City residents can enjoy the company of their friends and neighbors while participating in many leisure time activi-ties, ranging from active adult sports programs to extensive summer and after-school activities for children provided by Foster City’s Parks and Recreation Department.

Foster City welcomes you. We invite you to take a few mo-ments and explore our community—combine shopping with a great meal or a quiet stroll along the lagoon. Discover firsthand why Foster City is a good place to raise a family, locate your business, or retire and just enjoy a relaxing lifestyle.

The City of Foster City/Estero Municipal Improvement District thanks the Chamber of Commerce for the opportunity to in-clude the following information in the annual Community Guide. This joint venture is another example of the business community and local government working together to provide the best information and service to those who visit, live or work in Foster City.

INTRODUCTION & OVERVIEWFoster City has a population of approximately 30,000 citizens living in more than 12,500 residential units. In this planned community, development has always been orderly and in ac-cordance with an approved Master Plan, resulting in neighbor-hoods that age better over time and properties that continue to command high value.

A beautiful, planned community like Foster City, however, does not happen by accident. Civic-minded residents and mem-bers of the business community, dedicated local elected officials and responsive local government employees all contribute to the life enjoyed by residents, businesses, and visitors to Foster City. The following provides a guide to local government re-sources and services.

ELECTED OFFICIALS Foster City was incorporated as a City on April 27, 1971, and has a council-manager form of government. Unique in the Bay Area, Foster City has three distinct governmental bodies: the City of Foster City, the Estero Municipal Improvement District, and the Community Development Agency (CDA). The five members of the City Council also represent the District and the CDA. City voters elect council members to staggered terms of four years each.

The City Council meets regularly on the first and third Mondays of each month at 7:30 PM, and may call additional special sessions as necessary. Meetings are held in the Council Chambers at 620 Foster City Blvd., adjacent to City Hall. These meetings are televised via FCTV, Comcast Cable Channel 27 or AT&T Cable Channel 99. All meetings of the Council,

Local Government

Planning Commission and advisory committees are open to the public except when certain personnel matters and legal items are discussed.

As the legislative branch of local government, the City Council makes final decisions on all major City matters. The Council adopts the ordinances and resolutions necessary for ef-ficient governmental operations, approves the budget and acts as a board of appeals.

CITIZEN ADVISORY COMMITTEES & PLANNING COMMISSIONThe City of Foster City has one commission and nine standing committees. The Planning Commission consists of five mem-bers appointed by the City Council. The Commission regu-larly meets on the first and third Thursdays of each month and may hold additional meetings. The Planning Commission acts as an advisory body to the City Council on all matters per-taining to planning, zoning, environmental impact reports and development.

The City Council may occasionally appoint ad hoc commit-tees as the need arises. The City Council also appoints members of other committees, with the exception of the Traffic Review Committee, whose members are designated City staff, with one additional public member appointed by the Mayor with ap-proval of the majority of the Council.

The nine standing committees are as follows:• Arts and Culture Committee (9 members)

Foster City consistently maintains one of the lowest per capita crime rates in California. Citizens can clearly take comfort and pride in the efforts put forth by the men and women of the Foster City Police Department. The police station is open to the public 24 hours a day, every day of the year.

The Police Department organization consists of the Office of the Chief of Police, which commands the Administration and Patrol Divisions.

The Administration Division is responsible for criminal investigations, crime prevention, youth services, evidence and property control, budget preparation, press relations, and com-munity relations. It is also responsible for records processing and storage and dispatch services for the Police Department.

The Patrol Division consists of the uniformed officers who conduct preventative patrols, respond to calls for service and handle preliminary investigations. The division includes the traffic unit, the canine unit, field training officers, evidence technicians, and community service officers.

The Police Department operates on a community oriented policing philosophy. The 39 sworn officers and 17 full time sup-port employees are always eager to help citizens reduce their chances of becoming crime victims and to assist in making Foster City a safer community in which people are proud to work and live.

The partnership between the Police Department and the com-munity has led to such innovative programs as a Citizens Police Academy, offering an inside glimpse into what police work is re-ally like, an Emergency Services Volunteer program and a school-based education program for the youth of the community.

The Police Department has three volunteer programs. The Police Reserves are highly trained citizens who work uniformed patrol, typically alongside a full-time police officer. Emergency Service Volunteers support a variety of City functions provid-ing traffic direction and assistance to citizens. In addition, they complete a variety of office tasks. The Police Explorers are a group of youth who are generally interested in exploring law enforcement as a possible career. While providing office assis-tance and supporting community activities, they learn about various aspects of the law enforcement profession.

Crime prevention services are available to both residents and businesses located in Foster City. The Crime Prevention unit is available to conduct a comprehensive security survey designed to help identify those areas where citizens or businesses may be vulnerable to crime.

The Police Department encourages Foster City residents to take advantage of the following services:

• Operation Identification: Engrave valuables with a California driver’s license number.

• Vacation Watch: The Police Department will conduct drive-bys while families are on vacation.

• Neighborhood Watch: Neighbors get to know each other and how they can look out for each other’s security.

PARKS & RECREATION DEPARTMENT

Recreation Center 650 Shell Boulevard ...................... (650) 286-3380Parks Maintenance ........................ (650) [email protected]

Foster City Parks and Recreation Department efforts preserve and improve Foster City’s beauty and recreational attractions. Foster City boasts over 160 acres of park and open space land including bike paths, dog exercise areas, a lighted softball field, numerous soccer and youth baseball fields, tennis courts (night playing available), basketball courts, picnic facilities, bocce ball courts, walkways and pedway, and a wildlife refuge. Some park areas can be reserved by Foster City residents. Dog policies vary from park to park, but all require that you clean up after your dog and keep dogs on a leash.

Foster City’s lagoon system and miles of waterways cover a surface area of more than 200 acres and provide numerous recreational opportunities. Many residents like to sunbathe along the grassy shoreline and there are two free boat launching ramps located at Ryan Park and Boat Park for person-powered, wind-powered, and electric watercraft. Powerboats are pro-hibited at all times on the lagoon. Sailing on the beautiful blue lagoon that winds five miles throughout the City is one of the most popular leisure sport activities.

Ryan Park, which encompasses fourteen acres overlooking the Main Lagoon, the largest water expanse in the lagoon sys-tem, is home to the William Walker Recreation Center. If you are interested in participating in recreation programs, come to the Recreation Center, 650 Shell Boulevard, to sign up. You may also register online at www.fostercity.org (click on “On-Line Class Registration” under Parks and Recreation), or by faxing or mailing a completed registration form. The fax number is

(650) 345-1408. Classes, activities, and special events are publi-cized through the department’s quarterly brochure, the Leisure Update. The Leisure Update is mailed to all City residents in the months of February, May, August and November.

A wide variety of classes is offered year-round. Parents ap-preciate the morning preschool programs and children’s recre-ation classes. Meeting the needs of adults, teens, and the youth of the community, the Parks and Recreation Department of-fers interesting and challenging classes in diverse areas such as creative arts, sports, and fitness. The Recreation Center site includes the Senior Wing and Teen Center “The Vibe.” Summer activities for school children include Camp Koala, Camp Outback, Camp Way Outback, Middle School Madness and various other programs.

For the active sports enthusiast, there are team sports, in-cluding organized softball, basketball, bocce ball and volleyball, which can be enjoyed through a variety of adult sports leagues offered throughout the year. The William Walker Recreation Center and the Community Center (above the Library) are available for rentals by both community-based organizations and individuals. These centers are great locations for meet-ings, wedding receptions and parties, so make reservations early. Foster City residents may reserve the Recreation Center and Community Center facilities up to 12 months prior to the date of the event. Non-residents may reserve the rooms up to 10 months in advance of the proposed use of the building.

The Public Works Department oversees maintenance and preservation of the City/District’s infrastructures and assets to protect the public’s general health and safety. As one of the larger City departments, Public Works is organized into functional divisions as follows:

Administration and Engineering

This division manages the City/District Capital Improvement Program (CIP), monitors the use of the public rights of way, and ensures that developments conform to City/District codes. The Administration and Engineering division is responsible for managing CIP projects, issuing encroachment and transporta-tion permits, reviewing development projects, and maintaining 2,055 street lights and 25 traffic signals. This division also over-sees traffic planning for the City.

Streets and Storm Drains

This division manages effective drainage of surface water runoff into the Foster City lagoon, thus promoting an attractive recre-ational environment for the use and enjoyment of Foster City residents. There are two programs under this division: Streets Maintenance Program, and Lagoon and Levee Program.

• Streets Maintenance Program – The mission of the Streets Maintenance Program is to keep City streets, street markings, signs and rights-of-way in good repair to prolong their useful life and to ensure the safety and convenience of all users. The Pavement Management System, a program developed by the Metropolitan Transportation Committee (MTC), is utilized to prioritize Foster City’s 45 miles of streets for repairs. Foster City has been recognized consistently by MTC as having excellent overall street quality and as having one of the best-maintained street systems in the San Francisco Bay Area.

• Lagoon and Levee Program – The Lagoon and Levee Program is responsible for maintaining the 212-acre lagoon and the peripheral levee system surrounding the City. The program staff strives to maintain the highest possible quality of water in the lagoon through allowing maximum water circulation with the bay. The Foster City Lagoon as a drainage detention basin is designed to successfully withstand a storm of 100 year return frequency, or a storm of such severity that it has a one percent chance of occurring any given year. The lagoon system has been further enhanced by the recent completion of the lagoon dredging project. The dredging project removed accumulated sediments and restored the lagoon depths and storm drainage outfalls to their original conditions.

How well does the Foster City lagoon system work as a drainage detention basin? During the El Niño rains of 1997, which were very close to a 100 year frequency severity, the City of Foster City experienced no flooding while surrounding cities in San Mateo County experienced major drainage problems.

Water

This division is dedicated to providing the residents of Foster City and of the San Mateo Mariners Island area with safe, reli-able, and high quality water. Just like most cities on the penin-sula, the Estero Municipal Improvement District (EMID) pur-chases water from the San Francisco Public Utility Commission Hetch Hetchy system. EMID has four water storage reservoirs with a total storage capacity of 20 million gallons. During emergencies, water from the storage reservoirs along with the inter-ties with California Water Service, which serves City of San Mateo, and Mid-Peninsula Water District, which serves the City of Belmont, can be used to supply water to the customers. The Water division maintains nearly 110 miles of water mains, over 3,300 valves, and nearly 1,400 fire hydrants. EMID has achieved and maintained a Class 2 Insurance Services Office (ISO) fire insurance rating (Class 1 being the highest, Class 10 the lowest) since 2001.

In an effort to plan for future water supplies and promote water conservation, EMID is developing tiered water rates to encourage efficient water use. A tiered rate structure provides lower water rates for baseline usage and progressively higher rates for increased usage. Based on the current schedule, the new tired water rates will begin in July 2010. More informa-tion on water conservation is available at City Hall and at our website, www.fostercity.org. For questions pertaining to wa-ter leaks and repairs, please call 286-8140. For billing or pay-ment questions, contact the Financial Services Department at 286-3261.

Wastewater

This division works to protect the health and safety of Foster City residents and to ensure the protection of the environment by effective collection, treatment, and disposal of all wastewa-ter flows from commercial, industrial and residential proper-ties. The wastewater is collected and pumped to the treatment plant in San Mateo. The treatment plant is jointly owned by Foster City and San Mateo. The wastewater division operates and maintains more than 66 miles of sanitary sewer lines, more than 3 miles of sanitary sewer force mains, and 49 pumping stations. The division has been recognized by the local Santa Clara Valley Section and the Statewide California Water Environment Association for its consistent top quality level of service and performance. In addition, the maintenance person-nel from this division were recipients of the 2005 California Water Environment Association Small Collection System of the Year Award for collection systems of 0-250 miles.

Waste Management

The Public Works Department administers a waste management franchise agreement with Allied Waste Services. The waste manage-ment company also provides curbside recy-cling of mixed paper, plastics, aluminum and tin cans, glass, cardboard, used motor oil, yard trimmings, cell phones and household batteries. In addition, Allied Waste Services offers a Business Organics Collection pro-gram to target the collection of food scraps from local businesses at a 25% discount from regular garbage collection fees. There is also an on-going cell phone and household batter-ies collection site located at City Hall. In 2008, under the state’s new diversion measurement system, (SB1016), Foster City met the 50% equivalent per capita disposal target.

• Composting workshops are offered to Foster City residents year round at no charge through the Recreation Center.

• The City’s Construction and Demolition Ordinance requires applicants of qualified projects to recycle a minimum of 50% of the debris generated from construction projects.

• In September 2009, the City of Foster City approved an agreement with Recology, the future contractor to succeed Allied Waste Services in providing solid waste, recyclable and plant material collection services beginning January 1, 2011. Implementation of this contract will include single-stream curbside recycling collection and residential food waste collection programs.

• In October 2009, construction of Phase II of the Master Plan Improvements at the Shoreway Transfer Station in San Carlos commenced. Improvements will include a new MRF (Material Recovery Facility) and installation of single stream recycling processing equipment. Construction is anticipated to be complete by January 2011, for the rollout of new services.

For those residents who may periodically need a debris box, a permit from the Public Works Department must be obtained if the debris box is placed within the public right-of-way.

The Building Inspection Division is responsible for ensuring that all construc-tion projects permitted within the City comply with the Uniform Building Codes, the Foster City Municipal Code and all other applicable codes and regulations.

The Community Development Agency was formed in 1981 to build infrastruc-ture, improve circulation, create job opportunities, finance public facilities, assist in providing a stable economy and provide affordable housing through a combi-nation of public and private investment in the community.

HUMAN RESOURCES

The Department manages the City’s recruitment and selection, workers’ compensation, classification, compensation and ben-efits programs, performance management, workforce develop-ment, and helps develop an excellent relationship with its em-ployees and labor organizations.

Efforts over the past several years have resulted in an out-standing partnership between Human Resources and City op-erating departments. A major challenge for the organization during the next several years will be developing staff for even-tual changes in leadership in critical and important City posi-tions. Human Resources will be expected to play a key role in employee development to assist in this transition and is actively identifying and developing programs to assist in the succession planning process.

While employment opportunities are not as frequent as past years, Human Resources will position the organization to ob-tain the best talent available for its vacancies. For those seeking employment, applications for listed job openings can be made by going to www.calopps.org.

Telecommunications / Video Services Oversight

The City oversees regulatory issues concerning telecommuni-cations and cable/video services providers in accordance with federal and state law.

Cable TV / Video Service Providers

The City administers non-exclusive franchise agreements with two video operators that serve Foster City – Comcast for Cable TV services, and AT&T for IPTV video services. Residents that have problems with either of these video services providers should first contact the provider to resolve the issue. If it is not satisfactorily resolved with the provider, residents can escalate the matter to the City by calling us at 286-3506, or sending us a detailed e-mail at [email protected]. The City will make contact with the service provider and work to resolve the situation on the customer’s behalf. The City has no direct regu-latory authority over satellite (DBS) service providers.

Telecommunications Providers

Companies such as AT&T, Sprint, and others provide line-based services in Foster City under authority from the State of California. We also oversee lease agreements with cellular providers that provide wireless services using city property to house their antennae. While the State ultimately controls regu-lation of these providers, the City can attempt to assist in get-ting customer service issues escalated to the appropriate per-sonnel. However, the City has no direct regulatory authority over phone providers. Contact us at 286-3506, or by e-mail at [email protected], and we will contact the provider in an attempt to solve the problem.
