AGENDA REVIEW
So ordered.
ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
Mr. Lawrence Pera, 758 Baden Ave., stated
that when he had entered the premises
this evening he had been searched and
questioned why everyone else had not been
searched; he did not feel that the City
was being run by an experienced Mayor;
that he wanted to live in peace; was on
probation for something he did not do;
that he was going to win the Council
election this year; that he had been
sworn at by Councilman Damonte.
Councilman Damonte stated that he had
never sworn at Mr. Pera at any time.
He stated that he believed in free speech
and the First Amendment, however there
was a limit. He spoke of Mr. Pera being
at the podium and accusing the Council
individually or the Police Department and
felt that there should be some restraints
because to his knowledge most of the
accusations were untrue.
Mayor Haffey stated that he agreed in a
point well taken and it may come to a
point where Mr. Pera lost his privilege
to speak under Oral Communications and
the Council may have to look to the City
Attorney or the Police Chief to discuss
exactly the method of taking that privi-
lege away - because he was obviously
abusing it.
Councilman Damonte stated that if Mr.
Pera had the right to speak, which he
believed Mr. Pera has, then he also had
the right not to listen. He stated that
the next time Mr. Pera got up and
repeated himself or threatened people
that he was going to leave the dais.

ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
Councilman Addiego stated that it was not
necessary for Councilman Damonte to leave
the dais, as far as Mr. Pera's right of
free speech he had other ways to exercise
that right of free speech and he did not
feel that Council had to afford Mr. Pera
every opportunity that was given to the
average citizen because he had not been
conducting himself in a way that was
acceptable to this Council. He stated
that Council had the right to set the
ground rules as to what was and what was
not an acceptable presentation.
Mayor Haffey questioned if Staff
understood that Council wanted alter-
natives presented.
City Manager Birkelo stated that plans
were al ready underway in terms of Mr.
Pera's probation officer.
Mayor Haffey requested that Staff present
clear cut direction on this matter before
the next meeting.
Vice Mayor Teglia stated that Mr. Pera
had indicated that he was now being
searched when he came into Council
Chambers and proceeded to explain that to
the audience: that Mr. Pera sometimes
came before the Council serious or
humorous and without being threatening;
had appeared on City property and had
threatened to take life, which was pro-
bably why he was being searched to assure
that nothing bizarre would happen as had
happened in other cities.
Mayor Haffey stated that the Council had
been very patient over the last two years
with Mr. Pera's free speech opportunities.
COMMUNITY FORUM
Councilman Nicolopulos stated that
Council sometime back had directed Staff
not to present last minute items and
requested that Staff observe that prior
direction.

COMMUNITY FORUM
Vice Mayor Teglia stated she concurred
with Councilman Nicolopulos viewpoint.
She stated that in the Redevelopment
meeting the Bond Counsel had apologized
for June coming so early, yet for the
last nine months the City Treasurer kept
telling the Council that June was coming
and that the notes would have to be met.
She stated that the Council should
receive information in a timely manner,
otherwise Staff would miss some of its
deadlines.
Mayor Haffey agreed and stated that there
were many additions to the agenda and
wanted Council's position to be
understood by Staff.
City Manager Birkelo stated that he was
aware, however in the past Council had
acted on matters relating to the bond
sale. He stated that Staff had taken a
long time because of the fact that the
increment was not available, and that
the last of the options had been reviewed
today and finally agreed upon tonight.
Councilman Addiego spoke of a letter from
the City Manager to the 500 people who
wrote letters and the 700 people who
signed petitions in relation to the
hearings on the benching of South Slope.
He stated that the Council had chosen to
write a letter addressing the concerns
expressed at the hearings and the outcome
of the Council action to the community.
He stated that there had been two Letters
to the Editor in the Progress which
unfortunately due to Council direction
had hung the responsibility onto the City
Manager and a headline read that
Birkelo's explanation was horse manure.
He stated that the City Manager followed
the direction of the Council in writing
the letter. He stated that in future he
felt that the politicians should be the
ones to respond to the community rather
than the professional staff. He stated
that he wanted the community to know that
the remarks in Mr. Birkelo's letter were
from the Council.

which just accepted a project which was
completed and the Council rested that on
the Engineer's opinion, but in the case
of entering into an agreement with an
architect for services he was not going
to be satisfied with receiving the docu-
ment 15 minutes before the Council
meeting began and would register a no
vote on this item.
Consensus of Council - to carry the item
over to the next meeting.
Vice Mayor Teglia questioned who had
inspected the Grand Avenue Library's car-
pet installation and found it to be
satisfactory when some areas had been
seamed poorly and would unfurl in a
matter of time.
Mr. Julian Munoz, Group 4/Architecture,
stated that there were a few items still
existing on the punch list for the
Project, however this was for an overall
acceptance to release the 10% retention
and begin the 30 day lien period in spite
of the fact that there were punch list
items.
Consensus of Council - to continue the
i tern.
Vice Mayor Teglia stated that she wanted
to be sure that whatever monitoring noise
measures that were to take place were
measured for high frequency vibrations as
well as low frequency vibrations.
Mr. Fayer, PRC Engineering, stated that
it was his understanding that the
measuring would take care of the full
range of frequency, the low as well as
the high.
Vice Mayor Teglia stated that she wanted
language in the agreement that addressed
the measures specifically. She stated
that the monitors that the Airport used
were fine for high frequency measurement,
but the low frequency was masked by the
other and it was becoming a very critical
issue. She stated that since the City
was doing this work she wanted it done
right.

Mr. Fayer stated that the primary purpose
of the measuring was to get the necessary
input into the noise modules so that his

traffic increases, etc.
Councilman Addiego stated that the
Council was feeling a little vulnerable
in regards to this particular corridor
and if there was any way to shore up the
City position, then it should be done.
He questioned if there was an over-laping
of projects in reference to the ground
water of the U. S. Steel property.
Mr. Fayer stated that some areas had not
been addressed in the Shearwater EIR
because they were located in the preview
right-of-way.

that could be seen from the freeway and
all neighboring avenues. He stated that
the plan was to paint murals over old
signs painted twenty-five years ago.
He stated that there had been a letter
writing campaign to the citizens, ideas
from citizens, as well as a campaign in
the schools which well rewarded the
merchants in ideas. He stated that the
merchants had contacted one of the finest
muralists, Carlotta Espinosa, whom they
hired to paint the murals.
He stated that the merchants wanted
Council to approve the painting of the
murals and proceeded to show artistic ren-
ditions of the proposed four murals.

that the murals would depict that history

should be given to today's builders
rather than the historians; that the

get a realistic idea of the future; that
depiction of the ethnic groups in the
drawings was good; the dimensions of the
murals; that the murals would be done in
stages and could then be reviewed;
