Expedited building process approved for Glenview The City Council on October 12, 2010 approved an ordinance that waives all building and planning fees for Glenview residents. The City Council also directed that staff prepare new regulations for adoption in the coming weeks that greatly reduces the time it will take for residents to rebuild the Glenview area. Building approvals that may have taken up to six months under the standard permiting process now will be completed in a matter of three months or less in Glenview, according to officials. The expedited process was approved just as city officials announced that the clean-up of the Glenview fire had been completed less than five weeks after the area was destroyed by a natural gas pipeline explosion and fire that claimed eight lives, destroyed 35 homes, and damaged more than 50 other properties. City Manager Connie Jackson recommended approval of the new regulations. The City Council also directed that the Community Development Department develop a neighborhood visioning process to ensure that the neighborhood is fully involved in creating a new vision for Glenview.
Local state of emergency continues at Glenview site while federal appeal pending In a special meeting held Oct. 5, the City Council unanimously approved a "continuing declaration" of a local emergency in the wake of the Sept. 9 explosion of a natural gas pipeline that claimed eight lives and destroyed 37 homes. City Manager Connie Jackson noted that the City already twice declared a local disaster in the immediate aftermath of the fire but that declaration needs to be renewed every 30 days until the emergency conditions no longer exist. "The need for emergency procedures has not yet abated," Jackson told the Council. Click here to read the resolution. Meanwhile, city officials continue to work with Gov. Schwarzenegger's office on an appeal of the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Sept. 24 denial of the state's request for a federal declaration of a major disaster.

The federal disaster funds could be used to provide low-interest loans to individual homeowners as well as to assist the city in covering the costs of responding to the disaster, debris removal of the 10-acre site and rebuilding the Glenview neighborhood. Damage estimates are at $55 million "and counting," according to the city manager. Mayor Jim Ruane said the City of San Bruno has been thrust into the national limelight in a debate over pipeline safety while coping with a myriad of physical and emotional damages inflicted on a city already stinging from the state budget crisis. "It's important to have the FEMA declaration in your back pocket," Ruane said. "That's important for our citizens. It's a monetary thing on one level, and emotional on the other." At the special meeting it also was announced that clean-up operations on the site should be completed early in the week of Oct. 11 as donations and offers of support continue to pour in from across the nation.
Cable and utility bills adjusted for Glenview residents The San Bruno City Council approved the adjustments to the bills "in consideration of the various levels of damage and service disruptions." These adjustments are among a number of pro-active steps the City has taken to ensure that the City is effectively meeting the needs of the many families impacted by the Sept. 9 disaster.
