Dr. Kelly gave a background of the use of the

for uses other than athletic, and explained the
decision whether or not it would remain open
after school hours and on weekends. He read
the response-cards which had been sent by the
District to residents and explained the return
of 100 cards which favored closing the grounds.
He next introduced Mr. Joseph Smith, Business
Manager and Associate Superintendent, to speak.
Mr. Smith explained the situation up to date
and stated that the gate is unlocked at 7:00 a.m.:
and relocated around 5:00 p.m. and kept closed
on weekends. He remarked that a total of two
complaints had been registered.
Police Captain McKeon explained that the resolu-
tion of the School District which gave the Police

stated that he was not aware of any complaints
regarding the gate.

and the Colma Creek problem, Mr. Robert Yee,

students travel to E1Camino High School and
Alta Loma School.

Colma Creek, to include the placement of a chain-
link fence on the bridge for safety precaution.

City Attorney John Noonan explained the right
of City participation in the funding, based on

Mr. Birkelo commented that the Board/Council
might wish to develop some consensus and go
back to their individual boards for final action;
and, in the meantime, Messrs. Yee and Haney
would develop more precise plans.
Mr. Austin stated that he felt it would be
appropriate to draft a consensus contingent
upon final dollar amounts. He further stated
that he would recommend for the respective boards
a consideration that a 50% share be the appro-
priate participation.

South San Francisco School Board of Trustees
