Mayor Ahern then requested the City Attorney to prepare a draft of such legislation
for Council's review.
Mr. Bill Botieff, 400Dianne Court, commented that local businessmen sometimes con-
tribute towards campaign expenses of candidates because of their interest in local
government; that if the procedure were to be followed as suggested~ would limit candi-
dates to seek public office who had large sums of money available and would keep other
possible candidates from seeking such office.
Councilman Mammini stated that the:.letter indicates only contributions from licensees
and franchisees were mentioned and not local businessmen.
Mr. David Friedenberg, 2395 Bourbon Court, at this time concurred with Councilman Mammini's
comments, stating that it was only maintained that franchisees and licesees would be
affected.
Councilman Bertucelli commented on the statements of Mr. Albright and read from a prepared
statement in this regard, stating that he always observed the laws to the utmost and with
the greatest degree of propriety. Councilman Bertucelli remarked that he felt it unfair
that only two candidates had been singled out when other persons should have been mentioned
as well.
Mr. Donald Gamma, 3790 Cork Place, commented that he felt it was not proper for candidates
to accept campaign contributions and then vote on an increase for a change of rates. He
remarked that such individuals should abstain from voting and urged adoption of the
legislation as had been proposed.
Mr. McNab commented that he was pleased to see that such things as this were brOught out
into the open.
Councilman Mammini suggested that the City Attorney prepare the draft as requested for
Council's further consideration.
Further discussion followed between Mr. Albright and Councilman Bertucelli after which
Mr. Marlo Gagliolo, 760 Grand Avenue, remarked that it was his feeling that it was
unfair to single out only Councilman Bertucelli and Mayor Ahern.
Mr. Robert Polzoni,717 Parkway, remarked that he was certain that in the event some of
the unsuccessful candidates had been elected, they would not have voted on any increase
if they had received contributions.
Mr. Tony Montoya,l125 Miller Avenue, remarked that he felt such legislation was good and
should be adopted to eliminate receipt of such contributions.
Mrs. Antoinette Fraschieri,478 Avalon Drive, at this time commended Assistant City Manager
Laurence Ross for his dedication to his duties as the Acting City Manager during the
period when this positron was vacant.
Mr. Edward Toby, 2570 Bantr¥ Lane, suggested that the past be forgotten and that the City
proceed forward with the enactment of the proposed legislation.
Mr. Donald Grimes, 123 Francisco Drive, suggested that s~nce only two men had been
mentioned, that the other candidates' campaign statements should be checked as well.
Mr. Harold Scheutte, 31Escanyo Drive, at this time suggested that the City undertake a
Clean-up Campaign as was done in the past, requesting that posters be made up in this
regard and a request made of the Scavenger Company to allow free dumping of refuse by
the residents in this period.
Mayor Ahern suggested that Mr. Scheutte arrange to attend a Study Session in this regard.
Councilman Mammini suggested that Mr. Scheutte contact those other persons who worked on
such a program in previous years.
Mr..Robert Flickinger, 351 Arroyo Drive, registered a complaint concerning the conditions
in the creek area where construction work on the highway was presently taking place,
commenting that large trucks were going on to the highway endangering traffic, that a
flagman was only present in the early morning hours but that none was available at
4:30 p.m. He requested that this practice be ceased.
Brief discussion followed at which time Police Chief Rosano stated that the area in
question was not within the City limits, but was outside the jurisdiction of the City
of South San Franci6co and that permission had been granted to the contractors by the Calif.
Highway Patrol.
Further discussion followed concerning whether or not the City could enforce traffic
violations which existed outside the jurisdiction of the City.
Mr. Robert Polzoni at this time requested information concerning the meeting which was
held with the Attorney General and attended by ~City staff concerning the dump site.
City Attorney Noonan stated that the meeting had taken plac~ t~at the City was to meet
again and that further information was to be furnished concerning the scope of work being
done and the schedule of completion of work.
Mr. Donald Grimes at this time commented on the material which was being hauled away
from the Sewage Treatment Plant through the industrial park area and which gave off an
unpleasant smell, requesting some remedial steps be taken.

RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED,
In answer to Councilman Steinkamp, Director of Public Works Goss commented on the
meeting which was to be held on the matter of Westborough Boulevard with regard to a
final inspection and any clean-up work which was to be made after which a report would
be made to the City Council.
Councilman Steinkamp then asked as to the progress of the drain pipe to be installed by
Piombo Construction Company on the Westborough Extension.
Director of Public Works Goss stated that he was informed that as soon as the area
was sufficiently dried out, the pipe was to be installed. He at this time read from
a letter which he had addressed to Mr. Cantwell of the County in this regard.
Mr. Donald Gamma remarked that both projects, because of their delays, were a source
of annoyance to everyone.
Councilman Steinkamp then asked as to when the power poles would be removed on the
El Camino Real.
Director of Public Works Goss remarked that Mr. Douglas Wigton, Manager of the Pacific
Gas and Electric Company's South San Francisco Branch, was in the audience and possibly
could report in this regard.
Mr. Douglas Wigton reported that the Pacific Gas and Electric Company would complete the
removal of their services this week and that there were also services of the Pacific
Telephone Company and Cable TV which might still require removal and that while Pacific
Gas and Electric Company would have concluded their work, would not mean that poles would
necessarily come down at once.
Mayor Ahern requested the Director of Public Works to pursue the matter and report to
Council.
There being nothing further, Mayor Ahern adjourned the meeting with a moment of silence
in memory of the passing of Mrs. Lenore Varni of the Library Board.
Time of adjournment: 9:30 p.m.
