There being nothing further, Mayor Rozzi asked if any member of the Council had anythLng to offer under Good and Welfare. Councilman Cortesi brought to the attention of Coxncil the request by an out-of- City automobile firm to bid on the sale of vehicles to the City, which Councilman Ryan brought up at the previous meeting. He stated that as a result of his objections he was criticized as interrupting the meeting by the local newspaper -- further remarking that an insult to one Council member was an insult to all; also that £nsulting him insulted those who voted for him. He further commented that Mr. Franklin, the publisher, does not live in the City and should have more respect. At thus time Luther Berry, 380 Alta Vista Drive, asked Council as to what they are going ~o do about improving the street in front of his home. Mayor Rozzi informed Mr. Berry that Good and Welfare first should be heard from the members of the Council and then from the audience. Mr. Berry remarked that he would take this up later. GOOD AND WELFARE (CONTINUm): CITY EQUIPMENT DISCUSS ION: TAX RATE REDUCTION: SPEEDING CONTROL REQUEST: C ONMUR STREET EXTENSION -- DISCUSSION BY RESIDENTS: SALES TAX USE: CounciLnan Cortesi then stated that Mr. Franklin should print about him when he is right as well as when he is wrong. He commended the San Mateo Times and the Burlingame Advance Star for their coverage of the ~ctivities of the Council. CounciLnan Ryan remarked that he brought the matter of the out-of-town auto dealers' request before Council because he had been requested to do so. There being nothing further, Mayor Rozzi asked if anyone in the audience had any- thing -.hey wished to offer. Mr. Young Han Choo of the Serra Highlands subdivision complimented the Council for the reduction in the tax rate -- stating that previously he had lived in San Francisco where they always paid higher taxes. He also brought to Council's attention the matter 0f fast vehicular traffic on Newman Drive from King Drive to Alta Mesa -- suggesting that the City install speed Limit signs to curb speeding. Mayor Rozzi thanked Mr. Choo for his comments and referred this traffic matter to the Chief of Police. Mr. Neofctistos of Alta Vista Drive commented that some of the property owners on his street are not satisfied with the street conditions, remarking that some four proper~y owners had the portion of the street in front of their homes improved ' while o~hers did not. City Mansger Aiello stated that when the area came into the City, the street was only a ~emporary one and not highly improved. He remarked that three or four properuy owners wanted to improve the front of their homes so they contacted the City and asked if the City would sealcoat the street if they paid for the materials. This was agreed to by the City. However, the type of gravel purchased by the property owners was not suitable and the City would not sealcoat it. Therefore the City purchased the proper materials, billed the property owners, and they in turn paid the City. The City Manager then stated that other property owners complained about a grade problem. They came in to discuss the matter and were told that the City would make cross sections of the area but because of the heavy engineering load it would take 90 days time to complete this work. This, he said, was agreed to and the next thing he knew the property owners had engaged the services of an attorney to speak to the City. Mr. Neofotistos stated that work was done by the City not only in the right-of-way but also in private driveways and asked Mr. Goss the width of Alta Vista Drive, to which the Director of Public Works replied, "Fifty feet". He then asked Mr. Goss how many feet it is from the Garcia property to the Wortenberg property, to which Mr. Goss replied that it would have to be measured. In answer to Mr. Neofotistos' statement that the City did work in private driveways, Mr. Goss replied that only the portion of the driveway in the right-of-way was worked on and all the work performed was in the right-of-way. Mr. Neofotistos stated that other driveways were paved in the area, to which Mr. Aiello replied that this was a contract between the Stoneson developers and private contractors and they could have paved every driveway in the area if they wished since it was a private contract. Mr. F. G. Thompson brought to Council's attention the number of shopping newspapers which are being delivered and thrown on his doorstep, reporting that these are not desired by him and are causing damage to his property. He requested relief by the City tmrough the adoption of some ordinance. Discussion followed, at which time City Attorney Noonan remarked that some success has been realized by contacting the publis mer or managing editor by letter in regard to the matter. The suggestion of Mayor Rozzi to Mr. Thompson that he contact the City Attorney for his assistance was agreeable to him. Mr. Lu~mer Berry of Alta Vista Drive stated that he is in agreement with Mr. Thomp- son regarding the matter of shopper newspapers littering the streets and neighbor- hood and possibly they should be stopped through the enforcement of the litterbug law. Mr. ~'~'y then asked Council again about the improvement of Alta Vista Drive and the relocation of utility service poles from their present place. Mr. Goss replied that this will be contained in the report they are to make and the utility company will not relocate pol~s until plan lines are established. Councilman Ryan suggested that the property owners await the completion of the report which is to be made by Mr. Goss. In reply to the inquiry of Councilman Rocca, Mr. Goss stated that his study and report on Alta Vista Drive could be completed 90 days from the date the meeting with property owners was held in the City Manager's office. Mayor Rozzi then requested that the Director of Public Works proceed with the completion of his report and keep the property owners informed. Mr. Frank Bertucelli suggested to Council that capital improvements be made with some of ohe sales tax revenue as well as providing a meeting space for the Personnel Board. SALES TAX USE (CO~:~SO): Mayor Rozzi summarized the capital improvements which are contemplated by the use of sales tax monies, as well as the providing df space for Boards and Commis- sions onoe the North County Court House is completed and the City has full use of City Hall again. He also summarized the future use of Magnolia School. Councilman Rocca remarked that he favored the sales tax from the beginning as it is a me~hod by which everyone pays for a share of governmental operation expenses, rather ~han limiting it to only the property owners. There being nothing further, Mayor Rozzi adjourned the meeting until Tuesday, September 5, 1961 at 8:00 p.m. Time of adjournment - 10:02 p.m. APPROVED: RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED, City Clerk
