Undemunfinishe~ business Mr. Coleberd reported he had an informal meeting with
M~. Quinlan regarding the W. P. A. building for ~he Boy Scouts, but that all parties
concerned did not get together as yet.~ As s~on asthat can be arranged he said
he would have a report.
Mr. Douste appeared at the meeting regarding the trailer cou~t and asked if people
within 500' feet of the court did not have a right to protest. The Mayor asked
Mr. Coleberd if the necessary~notices were sent out and posted and Mr. Colebe~d said
he assumed that was attended to, but if the ordinance was not complied with it must
be. He is to check with the building tmspector when he returns and see what was done.
Mr. CamPbell then stated that no protest was raised the night the resolution waa
passed.
M~. Colston, Mr. Mulkey's attorney addressed the city council~regarding Mulkey's
right to open his auto court. Councilman Boido rem~aied Mr. Colston of Mulkey's
insinuating remarks against the housewives of the Town of Baden and the council, which
Mulkey ~ead before the council meeting. Mr. Colston said that Mulkey was willing te
apo~Iz9 in open meeting for the remamks made and asked Mulkey if this was not so, and
Mulkey ~aid yes that he apologized. Mr. Colston said the building inspector told Mul-
key he vould have to buy the land, which he did, and then the city sold~him a permit
for an auto court and in view of this should grant him the permit to operate. He pre-
sented She council with a petition bearing 160 signatures asking the Council to re-
conside~ the application.~ Mr. Colston asked the council also to reconsider the ·
application as Mulkey had put his life savings into the proposition with the expectation
of being able te open the auto court. The Mayor said the petition Just filed was not
signed ~y residents of the Town of Baden. Mr. Douste spoke and said mulkey was
denied a permit to operate when he had only a few trees cut down, and he felt the pe~ple
of the district should have something to say. Mr. Coleberd was to take the matte~',
under a~visement.

zone an~ does not permit of frame construction the matter was laid over to be taken
'up with~the city attorney and building inspector.
M~eG. C~ampbell suggested that the tmaffic~lights on Bayshore and Grand ~run all of the
time, s~ch as they do on the E1 Camtno. He said it was next to impossible for cars to
get in on the hig~ay at times and people crossing the highw~y.~er~, i~_gr~a~.danger. _

tinue to operate. The council agreed that the condition existing was serious and del
,gated City Attorney Coleberd to take the ma~ter up with the proper authorities with
view of-getting relief,, They suggested the League of California Municipalites be-in-
formed of the situation by the city attorney.
Councilman Minucciani brought up the question of city employees being sick for a con-
siderable length of time and their salaries being paid by the city. Councilman
Minucciani made a motion that any employee of the city be granted no longer than
one months'salary in case of sickness, commencing September 1, 193V. The motion
was seconded by Councilman Mager and regularly carried. Pete Mariani said that
when a fireman was off sick the other members doubled up thus costing the city no
additional expense. Councilman Mager said that a relief man was put in place of
fireman when one was off sick. M~. Campbell said it would work a hardship by
stopping a man's~ pay after one month. He said men at the shop were compensated for
13 weeks sickness and when compensation r_~_n out fellow workers helped out. The May?r
said they~ couldn't always do as they liked in th~ese~ matters.
Mr. Guy Roney said he Just returned from his vacation and was not familiar with
the progress or the beach improvement or swimming pool,and asked that in the event
of either improvement that a standard athletic course and lights be considered. He
said he would like to have the matter discussed with the athle~tic directors of the
school and the Mayor assured him that at the proper time he would be notified.
Councilman Boido discussed the matter of the water running down through Mr. Bianchi's
property in the Regli Tract and undermining the concrete wall on his property and ask~
what rights Mr. Biahchi had. Mr. KlaSsen said hew~uld like to have time to look
into the matter.
There being no further business before the counc~l~ Councilman Eschelbach moved to
