Councilman Steinkamp moved, seconded by Councilman Mammini and regularly carried, that the recommendation of the City Manager be approved and accepted. Mayor Bertucelli requested the City Manager to notify Mr. DeLucchi as soon as possible. There being nothing further, Mayor Bertucelli asked if any member of the City Council had anything they wished to offer under Good and Welfare. Councilman Steinkamp at this time brought to the attention of the City Council a safety matter as it concerned "B" Street entrance to the South San Francisco High School. He stated because of the narrowness of the street with parking permitted on both sides, it posed a safety factor in the event emergency equipment, such as fire trucks, had to respond to an alarm involving the school. For this reason, he suggested consideration be given to making this a one-way street going in with egress on an adjacent street. He further suggested that the appropriate officials, such as the Police Department, Fire Department and School authorities, meet and study this matter and report to the City Council In answer to Mayor Bertucelli, Captain Terragno stated that this matter had been discussed previously with the members of the School District and that mention was made having "B" Street as the ingress with the egress on E1Camino Real.

Robert Bergero, 36 Escanyo Drive, requested further information as it concerned the matter of the overpass for the proposed Westborough Extension. Mayor Bertucelli stated that a letter had been received from Nits. Bergero and requested City Clerk Arthur Rodondi to read it. Lengthy discussion then followed during which time the items of reason for the study, the need for the overpass, the study made by the City's departments concerned in this regard, as well as the reaffirmation of the residents that the overpass not be deleted but be constructed as earlier voted on by the City Council. Councilman Rocca again restated his reasons for voting in favor of a complete study by a traffic consultant after which Council could take its further action. Nits. Bergero again pointed out that the matter of the overpass had previously been approved by the City Council and saw nc reason for any changes or need for further study. Discussion followed as well on the call for bids which were soon to be made by the County Board of Supervisors and that the matter of the overpass had not been deleted from the plans. Councilman Ahem then commented that his thinking with regard to the matter of the overpass had not been changed and that he still favored its construction. He at this time moved that the matter of voting on the overpass be delayed until after the Municipal Election in April. Further discussion followed at which time the City Manager pointed out should voting on the matter of the overpass be delayed until after the Municipal Election, the City would be subject to a penalty in the event of some change in the construction. He further remarked that the overpass was presently in the plans now and not as an alternate. Mayor Bertucelli at this time seconded the motion as made by Councilman Ahem. Further discussion followed at which time Nit. Donald Gamma, 3790 Cork Place, a former resident of Buri Buri, spoke on the discussion which had been held earlier in this regard. He stated that, as a resident of Westborough now, was not opposed to the overpass going in and felt that it should be constructed. Mrs. Parody, 120 Cuesta Drive, at this time compared the recently held examination for the position of Police Chief, stated that Council saw fit to call in a board of experts to conduct this examination and after it had been concluded, saw fit to select from the list rather than from the recommendations. It was her opinion that the same course might be followed in this regard. City Manger McKenzie then explained how the civil service permits his office as the appointed agent by the City Council to select from the list rather than from the recommendations. A male resident of the area then asked as to whether or not a formal study had been made on the overpass to which the City Manager and City Attorney replied not to their knowledge Mrs. KruczynSki, 808 Camaritas Avenue, commented that she was upset when she learned of the proposed study of the overpass, stating that there was a definite need for such an overpass to protect the lives of the children in crossing the Westborough Expressway in order that they may enjoy the recently installed facilities of the public library and the future swimming pool which was presently being constructed. She then asked how the residents should best convince the City Council on the need of this overpass. She stated that none of these facilities mentioned wou~ be available for use by the children without the overpass. There being no further discussion, Councilman Mammini moved, seconded by Councilman Steinkamp and regularly carried, that the meeting be adjourned to Wednesday, March 4, 1970 at 8~00 p.m. Time of adjournments 9540 p.m. APPROVED: ,.// Mayor RESPECTFULLY SUBMITT'CD, City Cle~ *Discussions contained herein are excerpts and not verbatim.
