ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
Avis Savery, 6 Iris Court, expressed
concern regarding a brochure which had
been sent by the Citizens for the
Hillside Public Recreation involving
the donation Mr. Dean planned to give
to the City should the South Slope be
developed. She indicated that this
brochure had been mailed subsequent
to the joint meeting of the San Mateo
County Board of Supervisors and the
City Council, at which time there had
been a request that Mr. Dean advise
the public through his advertising that
the recreation center was subject to
modification before acceptance by the
City.
Discussion followed as to when the
pamphlets had been taken to the Post
Office for mailing; obligations of the
developer toward the citizens.
Vice Mayor Teglia requested th~
City Manager Birkelo contact the
developer with respect to the
accuracy of the information disseminated
concerning the recreation facilities,
and that this was a proposal and not
a fact.
Alfred Savery, 6 Iris Court, requested
that Council make a statement to the
press that the information which was
contained in the developer's advertising
for the recreation facility was not
factual. He stated his concern over
an article in the Enterprise Journal
dated 9/30/81 which stated that the
San Mateo County Board of Supervisors
had on 9/24/81 voted to develop the
South Slope if the 10/6/81 ballot
measure passed. He requested that
Council refute that statement in order to
inform the public that the Board (lid not
vote on the matter of developing the
Slope if the ballot measure passes on
10/6/81.
An in-depth discussion followed
concerning the advertisement in the
Enterprise Journal and the feelings
of each Councilmember relative to

the request made by Mr. Savery.
Vice Mayor Teglia stated that
although there was no vote taken
at the joint meeting of the Board
of Supervisors and the City Council,
the County had indicated that develop-
ment could proceed on the South Slope
with the County as the lead agency
without South San Francisco.
Councilman Damonte commented that
although no vote had been taken,~hat
Council had asked the County if they
would pursue the development of the
Slope if the measure passed.
Discussion followed addressing the
City's involvement in the concept
plan for the South Slope. Vice
Mayor Teglia explained that the
City had been involved in the joint
development concept and that the
City had veto power in that~
joint effort, however, if the
initiative becomes effective, the
joint concept will become invalid.
The City at that point would no longer
have a say in the development of the
Slope.
Mr. Savery reiterated his concern
that no vote had been taken by the
San Mateo County Board of Supervisors
on the development of the South
Slope if the Initative Measure was
to pass on October 6. He stated that
the issue remained open and
requested that Council clarify this
issue for the public.
Michael Gallegos, 144 Pecks Lane,
stated his concern over the past
actions of the City and the County
regarding the development of the
South Slope. He further requested
that the City Council recognize
the arguments presented by Avis Savery
and A1Savery and to inform the people
of the facts.
