He then made the following statement~ The Council is concerned with the ~ccomplishment of two projects - the swimming pool and the Magnolia Fine Arts Center. The time for completion of either or both of these projects will depend on the availability of funds and other matters. In accordance with our conversation regarding the matters, I suggest that the Council and Recreation Commission confer with the City Manager and have him include in theCapital Improvements Budget allocation of funds for the two projects with the understardtng that the funds will be used for the project that can first be accomplished. It is my opinion that the swimming pool should receive first priority. After we have the meeting and allocate the funds, we can take the next step of obtaining architectural services. The Council authorized a Veterans Memorial on July 18, 1966 and I would like to have the plan for the Memorial submitted to the Council and a meeting date set with the Veterans of Foreign Wars, American Veterans and other Veteran organizations for approval of a plan and the establish- ment of a schedule for constructior and installation.

MaySr Bertucelli then continued~ 4. We have had before us for some time a =equest by Golden Gate Produce Market for a large directional sign. I suggest that we form a committee to work in conjunction with the City ~anager to make the necessary request with the State of California for the sign. Sunset Produce has a sign similar to the one we are requesting. Our request is not just for equal facilities, so to speak, but if you have been in the area you will know that a definite direction by a sign would minimize the traffic hazard there. There being nothing further, Mayor Bertucelli asked if anyone present in the audience had!anything they wished to offer under Good and Welfare. Mr.iThomas Finnerty of 221 Clifton Drive brough~c to Council's attention the matter of ~he erection of a Veterans' Memorial which had been authorized some time previously. He stated that a friend of his had prepared a sketch which he wished to present to Council at this time for its future consideration. Discussion followed at which time Mayor Bertucelli remarked that if there were no objections, the committee could be composed of Mr. Finnerty, a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, James Sargen, Jim Street, at the request of Mr. Finnerty, and Mr. Angelo Canziani of the American Legion. Mr'l Bob Moriarity of 237 Sequoia Avenue spoke on the matter of an overpass at Clay and!Junipero Serra, stating that a similar request had been made after the death of hisison as a result of having been struck by a vehicle. He remarked that he had attended meetings and was told stop lights would end the danger to children crossing the highway, remarking that this was not,so since recently a young girl was killed while trying to cross Junipero Serra Boulevard. He further commented that the death would have been prevented if the overpass had been built. He suggested that Council introduce a resolution for the erection of an overpass. Captain Terragno of the Police Department at this time cited the section of the Vehicle Code concerning the accident as a result of a buss allowing the discharge of passengers. He stated that since this was r.ot a school bus which have flashing red lights requiring traffic to come to a full stop, no traffic had to stop for the intersection~ Mrol Robert Reid, father of the girl who was st=uck and killed recently, remarked on the traffic officer who was present across the street at the time, stating that if the overpass had been built last year, this fatali=y would not have happened and asked if it were possible fer the City to share in the cost of building the overpass. Mayor Bertucelli replied that since this was a State Highway, the City had no control over the matter. Conncilman Rocca stated that while such accide%ts are deplorable, the City had no jurisdiction over the matter but have been doi%g everything possible to get the work accomplished. City Attorney Noonan stated that a study had been made on the cost of the construction of an overpass and how it could be accomplished but if Council wished, he would review the report on the matter. He further asked if the City wished to renew its request to the State for an overpass. Cot'ncilman Ahem commented that all of the me~ers of the Council had pushed rather hard for the erection for this overpass but that the State had the final jurisdiction in the matter. Ma~or Bertucelli at this time called on Mr. To~ Finnerty for his comments. Mr~ Ftnnerty stated that when the Moriarity boy was killed, the Council was behind hi~ 100~, had gone all the way for the construction of the overpass and that in all sincerity, would have to state that while they tried very hard, knew that an overpass wa~ not possible. Ma,or Bertucelli remarked that the Council would continue to pursue the matter earnestly. Mr, Moriarity then asked if the City were not in a better position due to the recent fat:ality. Mr,. Reid asked if the City could do something to speed the matter up, requesting to know wh~t he could do to push the matter harder. Co'~ncilman Rozzi suggested that the City go on record renewing its request to the State in behalf of the residents of the Winston ~an~r area and the City. Discussion then followed concerning the preparation of petitions and the obtaining of names for presentation to the State. Mri Dan Murphy, 104 Sutton Avenue, stated that in going to and from work, noticed that the speeds were in excess of the posted limitS.~ He himself exceeded these limits to se~ if enforcement reaction would be forthccedng, stating that he felt a lax of en- forcement on the part of the Police existed. Mr[ Alden Lindgren of 809 Camaritas Avenue silted that he was in sympathy with the resident of Winston Manor, stating that it was his feeling that strict enforcement of th laws should be made. GOOD AND WELFARE: (CONTINU~) REQUEST FOR DEAD-END STREET SIGN IN VICINITY DUNMAN WAY: DISCUSSION CONCERNING PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT ~ COI~LAI~S CONCERNING JET AIRCRAFT NOISE: AJOURN~RNT~ M~j Moriartty stated that she was present not =o law fault with anyone but to get effective control and felt that this could be achieved through the construction of anloverpass. Mr.I Lindgren then commented that Captain Terragno has had Police vehicles in the area to!enforce the vehicle laws after which Captain Terragno stated he would place a radar unit in the area, stepping up the enforcement in the particular location. DiScussion followed at which time Councilman Ahern stated that the City of South San Frqncisco could be well proud of its law enforcement agency since it was noted for its efficiency and its strict enforcement of all laws. Ca~tain Terragno then mentioned the recent study made for resettng speed limits in the area at which time the Police Department had to fight rather hard to retain the 35- mi~e speed limit which existed. DiScussion then followed concerning children going to and from school crossing Hickey BoUlevard who did not use the overpass presently existing bus rather crossing the highway further down the road. Coqncilman Rocca at this time mentioned that some comments had been made concerning th~ City's payment of monies for work performed as well as monies spent for the purchase of vehicles. He stated that in the payment of monies for work performed, th~se were from assessment district funds which were only paid hy the areas affeCted and not by the general public and that the vehicles purchased were for four new police ve~icles to further enforce laws which the residents were requesting at this time. He isuggested more training on the part of parents instructing their children con- ce~ntng the crossing of highways safely. Further discussion followed at which time Mayor Bertucelli stated that the City would pursue the matter again. Mr.i Dan Murphy at this time stated that he had called the Engineering Department on th~ matter of the Hickey Boulevard Extension in the vicinity of Dunman Way, requesting that the area be posted with a sign as a dead-end street so that it would prevent oar!s from going into Dunman Way and then having to return which added to the traffic hazards in the area. He stated that he was assured this would be done but to date, nothing had been accomplished. Disicusston followed at w~ich time the Director of Public Works stated that the City coulld erect temporary barricades with detour signs and that he would then follow this with a call to the County for a follow-up with a request for signs. May whe Mr o mat by poo tim 3r Bertucelli requested the Director of PubLic Works to acknowledge requests received. Dan Murphy at this time then brought to the attention of the City Council the ter of playground equipment which existed, zhat these had been cut up by torches the firm of Buzz Haskins who was working in the area, that he had been informed the Superintendent of Parks and Recreation ~obert Maxey that the equipment was in r condition and that it would be removed an¢ replaced with new equipment at the e the playground is located. Mayor Bertucelli stated that the City at the present time was looking at two new playground sites and was continually looking git for the interests ~ the residents. Mr.i Murphy stated that he would like to be present at the time the discussion take plape concerning the future locations. Further discussion followed at which time Mr. ~urphy stated that while Council had asked his group to appoint a com~nittee to work with the City on the matter, it was their fault that no committee had been formed by their people. Couhcilman Cortest then mentioned complaints which he had recently received on the mat[er of Jet noises in the Arro~Drive area of Burl Buri, to which the Mayor replied thai the City was working on these complaints ~lth the International Airport rep~esentatives. Councilman Rocca moved, seconded by Councilman Rozzi and regularly carried that the meeting be adjourned to a conference meeting with the Planning Commission. Time of adjournment= 9:25 P.M.
