He urged an in,depth study before adoption by the City Council. Mr. Leon Dillenburg, 1699 Ramblewood Way, Pleasanton, representing the Grocers' Asso- ciation, stated that even the returnable bottles were not being returned to the stores. He remarked that the ordinance was discriminatory and would cause shoppers to shop elsewhere. He at this time explained to those present the many items which were presently carried in stores and which were products in non-returnable containers. He further explained the wage contracts under negotiation and the additional cost of handling the returnable bottles which would be added to the grocery bill. He urged Council to disapprove the ordinance or continue it for a ninety~ay study. Mr. Phillip Voorheis, Manager of Environmental Affairs for Owens Illinois Company, Headquarters of Pacific Region, San Mateo County, remarked that his customers were the beer and soft drink companies. He commented that the whole ecological movement was universal and in detail gave the statistics on the materials which created litter.

Mr. Steven Tashara, 500 Lassen Street, requested adoption of the ordinance, complimenting the students and those who were involved in this movement. Mrs. Dorothy Seekamp, 314 Hazelwood Drive, stated that the adoption of this ordinance would not affect the employment and that the City would obtain national recognition because of their action. Mr. Robert Barker, 332 "C" Street, remarked that employment would be affected if the ordinance were adopted and would make it difficult for them to obtain employment else- where. He urged the C~ty Council not to adopt the ordinance without further study. Mr. Edward Rickenbacher, 126 Rosewood Way, suggested that such action not be started on a small City basis but on a County basis, further suggesting that the County Board of Supervisors be contacted for the adoption of ~Coun~! ordinance which could then be 'proposed on a State wide basis. ORDINANCE NO. 611: (CONTINUED) Jean Mellen, 209 Alta Loma Drive, urged adoption of the ordinance, suggesting that more efficient legislation could be had on a County, State and Federal level.

Mrs. Gloria Kouloulias, 57 Escanyo Drive, commented that the housewife wants no-deposit bottles, stating that cities would still suffer litter from returnable bottles as well as non-returnable. Mr. James MacCauley, 2930 Dublin Drive, urged adoption of the ordinance, stating that he did not feel people would shop elsewhere and that it would not create unemployment. Mr. John Tanti, Brentwood Liquors, commented that he took a sampling of his customers as to whether or not they preferred returnable or non-returnable bottles and that the majority favored non-returnables. Miss Barbara Higgins, 701 Hillside Boulevard, questioned Mr. Tanti as to why the return- able type of bottle was not more readily available for his customers. Mrs. Lois Ginsley, Pacifica Ecology Group, commented on the matter of recycling which was being done on bottles and newspapers, stating that if returnable bottles were used, it would increase employment. James Jordon, 431 Valencia Drive, stated that he felt what was being done is very important, that the people should be heard at City level and that we should cooperate with one another in this regard. Brian Richman, 25 Bantry Lane, briefly commented on the matter of the proposed ordinance. Mrs. Robert Stookey, 5 Jacinto Lane, commended the youth of the community for bringing this matter to the attention of the City Council. She likewise commented on the pre- viously held Clean-Up Fix-Up Paint-Up campaigns which the City conducted, remarking that it was always the youth of the community that worked in this regard and that the only adults in the program were those who supervised the programs of the youth. She urged adoption of the ordinance. Mr. Bill Scalice, 382 Gardenside AVenue, student at the College of San Mateo, stated that if the ordinance were adopted, a similar ordinance on the non-returnable packaging which came from drive-in restaurants should likewise be adopted. He urged everyone to take an interest in the matter of litter.

Mr. Steven Carey, 716 Larch Avenue, asked if federal money were available to assist in this regard. Mrs. Helen Murowsk~ stated that she was affiliated with the Pacifi~Ecology Action program and commented on the recycling which their group had been doing, stating that products were piling up since no one wanted them. Councilman Borba then asked as to why Pacifica did not have such a program as was planned for South San Francisco. Mr. Robert Jacobs, 332 Day Street, recommended passage of the ordinance, commending the Council for their positive action, stating that this City CounCil did not have to wait for other agencies but would lead the way to solution to this environmental problem. Mary Husen, 340 Commercial Avenue, commented that it was her feeling that recycling would be of some help and recommended more research be made. She suggested particpation by the scavengers in this regard. Mr. George Stagnaro, Vice President of the South San Francisco Chamber of Commerce, commented on a communication which they had forwarded concerning the proposed ordinance in which they had recommended that it be held over for further study. He then com- mented on the matter of recycling and what had been done in providing for ~hese services. He again requested Council for a further study on the ordinance.

Discussion then followed between City Attorney Noonan and Mr. Basarade of the M & T Chemical Corporation concerning the matter of how his plant disposed of tin products which they received as well as the areas from which they received them. He suggested to the members of the City Council that they consider a study on the disposal of metal and glass by having representatives of each manufacturing plant present to discuss this matter. Mrs. Virginia Hildebrand, 317 Northwood Drive, recommended adoption of the ordinance to solve the problem of litter. Discussion followed at which time the City Attorney commented on the suggestion of a ORDINANCE NO. 61 I: (CONTINUED) MOTION TO PASS THE ORDINANCE: RESOLUTION NO, 5486 PROV I DING FOR 90-DAY STUDY PERIOD - ORD. 611: Mayor Ahern commented that he was concerned with the affect this ordinance would have on the local businessmen. Councilman Borba stated that he voiced objection to this at the last meeting ibut Voted for its introduction so that it would bring it to a discussion stage. Councilman Mammini commented that if anything were to be accomplished, we should have legislation in this regard. He remarked that the answer was in passing the ordinance with a stipulation for a ninety-day study, entertaining this in the form of a motion. Councilman Borba stated that the Chamber of Commerce had requested a ninet~day'~s~Udy period and moved that the matter be continued for ninety day with no passage of the ordinance at this time. Councilman Mammini in reply stated that his motion was to pass the ordinance but with a ninety-day delay before it actually becomes a valid ordinance; in which time, in ninety days, the City would automatically have the ordinance. The ordinance can be amended but the City does have ninety days to prove all of the things that could be done, will be done. City Attorney Noonan stated that the ordinance, as introduced, carries the effective date of July I, 1971, and that it already has what Councilman Mammini wanted in it; that if it were to be changed, would call for another introuction and first reading. He suggested if Council desired to pass the ordinance, leave it as it is. Further discussion followed during which time, the proposed change in the ordiance con- cerning "Business Hours" and the adoption of a resolution to conduct a study was mentioned. The City Attorney commented that as the Mayor had earlier commented, the ordinance, as presented, was construed to mean during "Business Hour~' that if the ordinance were passed tonight, effective July I, 1971, a resolution could be adopted setting up a joint study committee to gather this information, discuss it, and then if it is shown a better way were available, the ordinance could be repealed prior to its effective date and that the pur- pose of the resolution was to setup a joint committee while the ordinance is on the books. Councilman Mammini modified his motion to provide as such. Councilman Bertucelli then at this time read the following statement: "It appears that our move has caused some concern at various levels. If what we have heard tonight is sincere, then I feel we have accomplished something that can be more far-reaching than our local action. Perhaps we can be of wider service, if our City Attoraey wi.II draft a strong resolution demanding that this matter be actively pursued County, State and Federal-wide. We could hold our local ordinance in abeyance until we are certain that action is taken. If no action is taken, we can carry out the terms of our local ordinance." Councilman Steinkamp then commented on the matter of litter which he had observed in many areas, after which he seconded the motion as made by Councilman Mammini which would include the proposed resolution. Discussion then followed between Mr. Robert Hutchinson, Attorney at Law who was present at the request of the proponents of the ordinance, and the members of the City Council and City Attorney concerning the matter of the validity of the proposed ordinance and the possible legal action to determine this validity or if it conflicted with already existing legislation. Discussion also followed concerning the proposed resolution which would undertake the stud~ Further discussion followed at which time Councilman Borba entertained a motion for the introduction of the resolution after which Councilman Mammini stated his motion already before Council was that the ordinance be passed and also the resolution conce~ng the ninety-day study period be authorized, to be studied by the people concerned as to whatever should be done. City Attorney Noonan then stated that the motion merely means that Council wishes to proceed with the second reading and adoption of the ordinance and then proceed with the introduction of the resolution. ' Mayor Ahern ordered the title of the ordinance read. The title of the ordinance was read. City Attorney Noonan explained the ordinance and advised the Council regarding procedure for adoption and passage. Councilman Steinkamp moved reading of the ordinance in its entirety be waived and that the ordinance be passed and adopted by reading title only, seconded by Councilman Mammini and passed by unanimous vote. Councilman Mammini moved that the ordinance entitled: "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA, PROHIBITING THE SALE OF CERTAIN NON-RETURNABLE OR DISPOSABLE BEVERAGE CONTAINERS WITHIN THE CITY OF SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO," the entire reading of which has been duly waived, be passed and adopted, seconded by Councilman Steinkamp and passed by the following roll call vote: Roll call vote was as follows: Ayes, Councilmen Frank J.

Verification of the scope and cost of each project. b. Availability of Federal, State or other agency funds for each project. c. Identity of the projects which should be constructed by other agencies. The proposals total approximately $20 million which will be almost $40 million when you include financing cost. Pay as you go has been used well so far and as illustrations I point out the library, swimming pool, Westborough Boulevard, El Camino Real improvement, Westborough Park, Westborough Fire Station, and the pending South Airport Boulevard improvement. But I am sure the Council is willing to take a look at other financing possi- bilitie~ andwelcome the opportunity to call for a feasibility study by a finan- cial consultant which will include, as I stated before, the items referred to."
