use controls so that buildings would be situated so that they could not be flooded. He

City Attorney Noonan explained that, in discussions with the City Manager and repre-
sentatives from the Southern Pacific Company and Guy F. Atkinson Companyy it was decided
that it was not now necessary for the Southern Pacific Company to have the consent of
Guy F. Atkinson Company for removal of the track on half of that parcel; the other half,
called "lead track" for servicing the Guy F. Atkinson property, does require the consent
of Guy F. Atkinson Company. He further stated that it is anticipated that track re-
movaI of the entire parcel would occur since the present building is to be a professional
complex rather than an equipment yard. He requested that this be continued until
the next meeting when definite plans on this parcel and that of the additional land
of Southern Pacific Company, Orange Avenue easterly to Magnolia Avenue, could be
presented to Council.
There being no objections, Mayor Ahern so ordered.
The next item was the communication dated April 3, 1970 from J. H. Snyder Company
concer2tng street sections and rear yards; 6" underground drains for uphill lots
in Westborough-West Park No. 3.
Accompanying was the Inter-Office Memorandum dated May 4, 1970 from the Director of
Public Works concerning the requests of J. H. Snyder Company.
City Clerk Arthur Rodondi stated that Mr. Henry Richman of J. H. Snyder Company had
called and requested that this item be continued to a Study Meeting so that it can
be thoroughly discussed.
There being no objections, Mayor Ahern ordered the matter continued to the next
Study Session.
The next item was the communication dated April 28, 1970 from the San Mateo County
Engineer and Road Commissioner advising of receipt of Grant Deed from the California
Golf Club covering eight easement parcels needed for the Westborough Boulevard Exten-
sion project.
Councilman Borba moved that the City and County of San Mateo proceed with the con-
struction cf the overpass at the intersection of West Orange and Camaritas Avenues
along with the extension of Westborough Boulevard.
Lengthy discussion followed during which time the following spoke~
Councilman Mammint commented that in all fairness perhaps the overpass would be located
in the wrong place, citing that a study had been made on the project by not only the
Cityts staff but by a consulting engineering firm and that the City should listen not
only to its own staff but that of the professionals.
Mayor Ahem stated that this matter had been discussed many times and this overpass
would service the new public library.
City Manager McKenzie then called to the attention of the City Council that the study
made by the consulting engineers indicated that the proposed overpass did not adequately
serve the pedestrian needs at that intersection, suggesting that Council bear this in
mind before passing on the matter and stating that it should serve everyone.
Councilman Borba then remarked that it was his feeling that the money spent on the
report had been wasted and felt that the pedestrian overpass was needed now.
Councilman Man~atni commented that the report indicated that pedestrian traffic was
heavier in the upper section of Westborough and that the only people who could advise
Cbuncil was the City staff and the consulting engineering firm. He at this time cited
the width of E1Camino Real when the widening is completed in comparison to the width
of the proposed Westborough Extension.
Mayor Ahem remarked that an overpass across E1Camino Real would be the Starers juris-
diction and that what the City was attempting to do was to place the overpass on our
own facility which was being constructed at this time.
Councilman Mammini then remarked that a motion which he, at a previous Council meeting,
had introduced carried the guarantee that an overpass would be constructed after it had
been determined as to the location in which it was needed.
Councilman Bertucellt then seconded the motion of Councilman Borba after which Councilman
Mammini suggested that the matter be referred to the Citizens Committee for its study
and recommendation.
Mr. Joseph Cooper urged that the location be in the proper place after adequate study.
Mr. Edward Rickenbacher, 126 Rosewood Way, urged the Council to consider the report and
recc~endations of the City staff and the consulting engineering firm.
Mr. Donald Grimes, 123 Francisco Drive, requested information as to the amount of
traffic which was expected over Westborough Boulevard and also the traffic which would
be realized with Highway 280.
Councilman Mammint remarked that a previous motion was made to determine this information
after study. He again urged that the Council wait until the Westborough Extension had
been completed and then determine where the overpass was needed.
Discussion then followed between the members of the City Council, City Manager and City
Attorney concerning the matter of acquisition of rights of way and costs involved.
Further discussion followed concerning the need for overcrossing at &ther locations along
E1 Camino Real.

INDUSTRIAL TRACT,
Mrs. Parodi, 120 Cuesta Drive, requested the construction of the overpass in the
interest of safety to pedestrians.
At the request of Councilman Mammtni, Director of Public Works Lo'uis Goss commented on
the manner in which selection of the pedestrian overpass location was made and the
studies which had been made by the City's staff.
Miguel Garcta, a student present in the audience, brought to Council's attention the
need for a crosstngon E1Camino Real due to the amount of traffic, remarking that it was
his opinion that a further study should be made, inviting the Council to view for
themselves this need on E1Camino Real.
Mr. Robert Polzont stated that he was in agreement with Councilman Mammini, stating
that the City had paid for a study and now was disregarding it.
Councilman Steinkamp stated that, as a resident of Winston Manor for many years, saw
children not using the overpass which was constructed at Hickey Boulevard, stating
that this might have been placed in a better location, questioning whether or not
the location suggested at this time was proper, requesting that this matter be held
until it was determined that it would serve the needs of all.
Councilman Mammtni at this time cited the sections of the report which had been made.
Mrs. Claire Damico, 136 San Felipe Avenue, commented on the difficulty the City en-
countered in obtaining an overpass from the State on Clay Avenue, urging the construction
of the overpass on Westborough Boulevard at this time in the interest of safety to
pedestrians.
Mrs. Lorraine Cooper asked if signals would be installed for vehicular traffic at the
overpass location, to which the Director of Public Works replied that there would be
no signals for pedestrian crossing but that there would be signals to allow vehicular
traffic to cross.
In answer to Mr. ~dward Rickenbacher, the City Attorney explained what would happen
to the previous motion adopted by the City Council concerning the matter of the over-
pass if Councilman Borba's motion were adopted.
In answer to Councilman Mammini's request that his motion be modified to read that the
overpass site would be in the vicinity of that particular area, Councilman Borba replied
in the negative.
Vincent Damico, 136 San Felipe Avenue, remarked that the residents of the area knew what
the traffic conditions are at the present and what they would be in the future and felt
that there was a need for the overpass at this time.
Councilman Bertucelli commented that when a previous Council was discussing the matter
of the Westborough Expressway, hb:sta%ed~ '~f:~here was no, overpass, there would be
no Westborough Expressway." Ne further stated that money had been appropriated for
its construction, further stating that he was interested in all of the people, both
young and elderly, and felt that the construction of the overpass was necessary for the
safety of these people.
Mrs. Antoinette Fraschieri, 478 Avalon Drive, requested information as to how the children
of Avalon Park would use the Westborough overpass, stating that, in her opinion, it was
not benefitting everyone as it should be.
Mr. Marlo Gagliolb, 760 Grand Avenue, stated that it was his feeling that the money
spent for the study had been wasted and there should have been more time spent on
this study.
Roll call vote was as follows,
Councilman Mammini stated that he was not opposed to the construction of the overpass, but
wished to see it placed in the right location. Councilman Mammtni voted "No."
Councilmen William A. Borba and Frank J. Bertucelli voted "Ayes."
Councilman Steinkamp voted "No," stating that his objectton'.was the same as Councilman
Mammini's.
Mayor Ahern voted "Aye."
Councilman Borba move~ seconded by Councilman Bertucelli that the City Manager notify
the County in this regard.
Motion as made and seconded was regularly carried.
The next item for Council's consideration was the claim as filed by Lena Bencini alleging
personal injuries as a result of a fall on Maple Avenue between Second Lane and Baden
Avenue on April 28, 1970.
Councilman Bertucelli moved, seconded by Councilman Borba and regularly carried, that
the claim be denied and referred to the City's insurance carrier.

FEASIBILITY STUDY
GARBAGE DISFOSAL:
In answer to Mayor Ahern's inquiry, Dr. Wilson stated that, so far, South San Francisco
was' the only City who was taking organized action in this regard.
Mayor Ahem suggested that Assemblyman Ryan be contacted in this regard after which
Councilman Mammini suggested that the matter be discussed with neighboring cities and
that their help be requested.
Mr. Joseph Cooper briefly commented on the disturbances which he and his neighbors were
subjected to, especially on weekends when it was their wish to be allowed to have their
early morning hours not disturbed.
There being nothing further, Mayor Ahern at this time offered for Council's confirmation
the appointment of Mr. Peter Ruggeri as a member of the Parking Authority.
Councilman Bertucelli moved, seconded by Councilman Borba that the Mayor's appointment
be confirmed.
Discussion followed at which time Councilman Mammini commented that in the previous
appointments, requests for applications had been made which were studied, the applicants
interviewed and appointments made. He requested that in the future, this procedure be
followed.
Mayor Ahern commented that there was also an expiration on the Personnel Board and wished
to have that taken care of as well.
Roll call vote on the appointment of Mr. Ruggeri was as follows: Ayes, Councilmen
Patrick £. Ahern, Frank J. Bertucelli, William A. Borba, F. Frank Mammini and Warren
Steinkamp. Noes, none. Absent, none.
Councilman Borba then moved that Mr. Marlo GagliolP be appointed as a member of the
Personnel Board.
Councilman Bertucelli seconded the motion after which Councilman Mammini commented
that in view of the fact that Mr. Battaglia was presently doing the.job, did not seem
proper to him that he not be reappointed.
Roll call vote was as follows: Councilman F. Frank Mammini, "No." Councilmen William A.
Borba and Frank J. Bertucelli voted "Aye." Councilman Warfeh Steinkamp voted "No," and
Mayor Patrick E. Ahem voted "Aye."
Mayor Ahem then asked if there was anything further to come from Council.
Councilman Borba moved, seconded by Councilman Steinkamp that Mr. Raymond Angeli be
reappointed as a member of the Personnel Board.
Roll call vote was as follows: Ayes, Councilmen Patrick E. Ahern, Frank J. Bertucelli,
William A. Borba, F. Frank Mammint and Warren Steinkamp. Noes, none. Absent, none.
Councilman Steinkamp stated that several months ago, relative to the activies regarding
disposal of garbage and incinerators, proposals and evaluations were received and one
was accepted as most reasonable and for certain reasons, City delayed taking any action
in that direction. He stated that he believed time is short and we should proceed with
a feasibility study as proposed by Rust Engineering Company and the City Manager be
allowed 90 days for the conclusion of the internal solution. He stated that he would
like to place this in the form of a motion.
Councilman Bertucelli requested that there be added to the motion that at the next
Council Study Session, the South San Francisco Scavenger Company be requested to be in
attendance in order that a feasibility study could be made and a report obtained as
to what it was going to cost in order that this may be done in a proper manner. He
further suggested that the Scavenger Company submit the residential cost of a 30- gallon
can, a 40-gallon can and commertcal per yard, loose and compressed. He also requested
that they further submit the transportation cost per mile per day, the miles travelled
now and the future disposal cost at a dump site per day. He at this time read newspaper
clippings concerning the matter of garbage disposal. Councilman Bertucelli concurred
with Councilman Steinkamp's motion to have a feasibility study and to commence at the
next Study Session of Council with the South San Francisco Scavenger Company and deter-
mine what their cost figures are in relation to the population.
Councilman Borba commented on the matter as it was discussed at the ]~t meeting of the
North County Council of Cities.
City Manager McKenzte remarked that Council received this information in November and
in the Rust ~ngineering proposal, they indicated a feasibility study would cost from
$30,000 and Council should also bear in mind that the City does not have a short term
solution to the garbage problem. He stated that City may have to enter into an agreement
with the South San Francisco Scavenger Company or some other agency to take care of the
short term garbage disposal needs. He suggested that Council wait until after the Study
Session before proceeding'~m the feasibility study.
Mayor Ahern asked if City may wait until after the Study Session.
Discussion followed after which Councilman Steinkamp accepted Councilman Bertucelli's
comments as part of his motion.
Roll call vote was as follows: Ayes, Councilmen Patrick E. Ahern, Frank J. Bertucelli,
William A. Borba, F. Frank Mammtni, and Warren Steinkamp. Noes, none. Absent, none.
Councilman Steinkamp then remarked in conjunction with the feasibility study, that the
property considered near the Armour Company location required access, suggesting that the
Planning Con~nission show plan lines at that intersection to allow the City access to the
property.
