nue; that a $5,000,000 bond measure would

perty had both a R-2 and an R-3 zoning in

utilitarian; that the present plans for
the expansion were conceptual; that there
should be input from the citizens on the
sports improvements; whether the bond
measure had sufficient funds to accom-
modate the ballfields; that if it was not
sufficient future grants could be used
from the State, etc.
Consensus of Council - That the bond
measure would be in the amount of
$5,000,000.
Discussion followed: that because it was
important it should be brought to the
voters immediately; how far the Council
could go in promoting the measure; the
City Attorney stated that the City could
not expend City funds for the promotion;
that the Staff could not promote the
measure on City time; and that City
people could not campaign on City time;
that the Council could promote the
measure by writing the ballot measure,
and Council members could individually
campaign, as well as be involved in com-
mittees, etc.
Mr. Jim Keegan, 1244 Crestwood Dr.,
stated that in the South Slope ballot
measure four Council members had signed
the document, and was delighted that this
time everyone was on the same side in
support of a measure.
He stated that with the Supervisors and
Council recent races there was a great
deal of expertise that certain
Councilmembers could lend in promoting
the measure. He stated that he would
look forward to working on a committee to
promote the measure.
Mayor Drago thanked Mr. Keegan and
suggested naming a steering committee
soon and work from there. He stated that
Vice Mayor Teglia had volunteered her
services, and encouraged the rest of
Council to also volunteer.
Councilman Haffey suggested that someone
other than a Councilperson should chair
the committee to avoid any controversy

City Manager Lewis gave an overview of
the First Quarter Budget Review, and
stated that the City finances for the
past year had resulted in a $500,000
figure in the black. He recommended that
the $500,000 be set aside for
catastrophic events. (A bound report as
presented to the Council is permanently
on file in the Clerk's Office for inspec-
tion and review.)
Councilman Haffey questioned if the
surplus was due to a tightening of
budget expenditures, rather than addi-
tional revenue being received.
City Manager Lewis stated that the City
had received more revenue in specific
categories.
Discussion followed: that an additional
$200,000 was anticipated due to the

that the sales tax revenue had suffered
through relocation of American Hospital
Supply, and closure of K-Mart; that the
Price Club would offset the decline in
sales tax by $600,000, and Genentech
would also bring in sales tax revenue for
the coming fiscal year; that every
department was on target with their
expenditures for the year with the excep-
tion of City Treasurer, because of a
salary increase not reflected in the
budget, and the other one was the Fire
Department that was running very very
tight, etc.
Councilman Haffey stated that a budget
amendment should always be presented to
Council when a salary increase was
awarded.
City Manager Lewis stated that he could
present a budget amendment at the next
meeting.
Councilman Haffey questioned what infor-
mation the City Manager had on the Fire
Department expenditures that was not in
the Council packet. He stated that the
report was for the whole City rather than
the report being shown department by
department. He stated that all of the
reasons for the Fire department being out
of control should be spelled out for the
Council in a January meeting.
Mayor Drago stated that this should be
put on the next agenda so that members
of Council could be assigned to the
various goals committees.
City Manager Lewis stated that there
would be forthcoming meetings for the
generation of sales tax, and he wanted
Councilmembers to be apprised of all
information.
He stated that analyses were being pre-
pared on sales tax licenses vs. business
licenses, and plans were being made to
