ITEMS FROM COUNCIL
Deputy City Attorney Kasper stated that
he had been asked to research the issue
of whether or not the Northern Department
for the Superior Court of San Mateo
should be reopened. He stated that he
had conducted discussions with both the
North County Bar Association and with
Judge Bollhofer, the Presiding Judge for
the Superior Court in San Mateo County.
He stated that there were two represen-
tatives from the Bar Association here
this evening to speak of the reopening.
He stated that in conversation with Judge
Bollhofer, he had indicated in response
to a direct question that there was no
economic consideration against reopening
the Northern District Court. He stated
that the Judge felt that the argument was
basically focused on the fact that they
are very short handed in staffing and
that the latest report indicates that
there should be two more judges in San
Mateo County. He continued, the Judge
AGENDA ACTION TAKEN
ITEMS FROM COUNCIL

ITEMS FROM COUNCIL
stated that the report will indicate that
there should be at least four new judges,
and at present he needed all of the
Judges under his control down in Redwood
City so that he can make sure that a case
doesn't go forward for some reason he can
immediately supply that Judge with
another matter so his time is well uti-
lized. He stated that the Judge had said
that if he is given more Judges that he
does intend to reopen the Northern
Department on a full time basis. He
stated that because of this he had
modified the Resolution to show that the
Council will support the position of
urging the County to appoint at least two
additional Judges and then urge that the
Presiding Judge reopen the Northern
District Court.
Mayor Pro Tem Teglia stated that she had
attended a meeting, in the Mayor's place,
of the North County Bar Association along
with Mayors of other cities. She stated
that she had learned that there were 16
Judges in San Mateo County at this time
and that one Judge had been down at the
north end of the County in South San
Francisco by assignment, and that meant
that whenever there was a problem from
the absence of a Judge in Redwood City
then the North County Judge was sent back
to Redwood City. She stated that because
of that even though a Judge was assigned
to the north end of the County it did not
mean that that Court was functioning all
the time. She stated that some of the
things that had been brought out in terms
of demographics to this County were: it
was a long County and very difficult for
people from this end to get down to
Redwood City for their cases; that the
Court space already existed; that when
the appointments were made the City
should request that a northern branch
should be opened with a permanent Judge
assigned; that the Resolution did not
address the need for a northern branch;
that the City should prove this need and
it should be considered.

ITEMS FROM COUNCIL
George Corey, Esq., stated that the Mayor
Pro Tem had voiced the real issue which
has a long history, with a long battle to
keep a Superior Court open in South San
Francisco. He stated that this City had
always be in the forefront of that battle
which would probably be the reason for
the location of the facility which is
here not which includes the detention
center. He spoke in detail of the need
for more than the assignment of a
Superior Court Judge, but the need to
have a Northern Branch Court which could
be acquired through legislation, e.g., in
Santa Clara County, Palo Alto is a Branch
Court fully operative for that County
because the County seat is quite removed
from a very large portion of the popula-
tion as it is in this County; in Contra
Costa County, Richmond is the Branch
Court because Martinez is so remote and
in fact that Branch Court is larger than
the Superior Court in the County seat; in
Alameda County, Hayward is a Branch Court
because of the population in the southern
part of the County.
He stated that today he had learned from
Marvin Church's Office that from the
Millbrae line north, the south end of
Millbrae line including the City of
Pacifica has 200,000 people who live in
that area - which is 1/3 of the County's
population.
He spoke in detail of the tax issue;
lawyers charging more to north County
residents to defend their cases in
Redwood City; the City personnel that
give testimony in Court in Redwood City
vs. the time spent in this City giving
testimony with the resultant travel time;
etc.
Xen Tragoutis, Esq., reiterated the same
arguments as the Mr. Corey and the Mayor
Pro Tem and further urged the Council to
work for a Northern Branch Court to be
established. He stated that legislation

for do this would be statewide and would
be approved by the County Board of
Supervisors.
Councilman Damonte stated that the same
battle had been waged and won by the
cooperative effort by the north county
cities. He stated that the proposed
Resolution was too weak and should be
more forceful.
Mayor Pro Tem Teglia stated that the
objective was to get a Northern Branch
Court and that Staff should be directed
to begin that work for the Council to
spearhead this effort and enlist the sup-
port of the northern county cities and
the Bar Association.
City Attorney Rogers stated that the
Presiding Judge was the one who makes the
decision to assign a Judge and he thought
that should be a permanent assignment.
He stated that the County should be asked
to seek legislation authorizing a
Northern Branch which would take time.
George Corey, Esq., stated that the
report indicated that there would be two
additional judicial positions and four
additional judicial positions for a total
of 20 Judges for the County as opposed to
the 16 by the first of the year. He
stated that the legislation enacting
those new positions can be undertaken
immediately. He stated that it was
possible that the Northern Court could be
open on an interim basis pending the
efforts to obtain a Branch Court.
Mayor Pro Tem Teglia stated that she
would like Mr. Corey's remarks addressed
in the Resolution: for the the Court
reopened with the Judge returned to the
North County; and an intention to proceed
in pursuing legislation to establish a
permanent branch court in the north end
of the County.

the Federal regulations on noise
