quested that the meeting be held at night.
Mayor Bertucelli suggested the evening of the lEth of February. He stated he was
anxious to accelerate the matter.
Mr. Finnerty expressed his concern regarding a recent newspaper article which mentioned
that Clay Avenue would be closed to through traffic. He stated that with only one
ingress and egress, the homeowners would be subject to delayed response for emergencies
for police, fire and ambulances. He suggested a 6-ft. cyclone fence from King Drive
to Hickey Boulevard through the center strip and inquired of Chief Fabbri if this
were not feasible.
Chief Fabbri commented that he had received no further information and would with-
hold any recommendation until all information was studied.

tho~e present that last Friday, Mr. 2rrica of ~he Department of Highways and repre-
sentatives called upon them to informal!y not]fy them that Sacramento would parti-
cipate in the overpass and agreed to contribute fifty percent. There was nothing
discussed concerning the closing of Clay Avenue. This wa~ an informal notification
with no comm]ttal~ on the part of the City or of the State.
Mr. Finnerty replied that he felt the Mayor had no knowledge of what the State had
in mind regarding the closing of Clay Avenue and was qulte concerned what it ~o,.~ld
mean to the ~5 homes in ¥{inston Manor.

DISCUSSION CONCERNING
GRANTING OF CATV FRANCHIS5
Mayor Bertute!!~ explained his meetin9 ~n Sacramento which was attended by Mr. Aiello,
Chief Fabbri, ~,~. Re~d, a representative from Assemblyman Ryan's office, Senator Do!w~9,
and Assemblyman Ryan. The only negotiations were concerning the financial conditions
with the State putting in half of the cost and the other half to be financed by the
City or donations. Mayor Bertuce!li further stated that when he received the report
from the State, he would call in the Winston Manor Association and discuss this.
He further reiterated that the City was under no committal to close off Clay Avenue.
Councilman Rozzi suggested that the meeting be delayed until Council received official
notification from Sacramento and then call the meeting with ~inston ~anor Association
to be fully informed before the meeting with the State.
Mayor Bertuce!li asked Mr. Finnerty if this were acceptable, to which Mr. Finnerty
replied that it was.
Mr. John Siacotos, 138 Clay Avenue, spoke in disagreement with Councilman Rozzi. He
commented that any delay in meeting with the C~mcil would not be beneficial. He
felt that Council should be aware of the ideas of the residents as they live with the
problem. He said they wanted good ingress and egress and safe crossin9 for their children
and there might be more than one solution to their problem and this would be brought to
light by an early meetin9 with their group.
Mayor Bertuce]li again stated that the Council ~ould not act until everything is
thoroughly studied.
Mr. S~acotos said he felt that they deserved more consideration and not be forced
to have only one entrance to their homes.
~,~ayor Bertuce!l~ again stated that they would h~ve the full cooperation of Council
and Councilman Rozz~ said that there were no objections to a prior meeting and would
be glad to have more knowledge of the situation.
Mr. Finnerty again proposed the 6-ft. fence thrgugh the center strip from King Dr!.ve
to Hickey Boulevard and Mayor Bertucelli replied that there was nothing d~scussed
regarding closing of Clay Avenue, only the recommendation to finance half of the con-
struction.
Chief Fabbri explained to Mr. Finnerty that the hazard !ie~ in the traffic lanes and
not in the center strip.
Mayor Bertucelli set tho meeting for February 15, 1067 at 7:.qO p.m. if Council received
the information and ~.f net, to wait until such time as the reports were received.
Councilman Ahem extended the invitation to the membern of the Association to come to
City Hal! at any t~me and meet with the City Manager and City l~ttorney.
Discussion followed concerning the fence, the loss of the little child who, Mr. Siacoto?
felt, should have been dtscharged from the bus within the tract.
Mr. Siacotos closed by asking that they be given a chance to use their homes, be g~ven
the protection they pay for as taxpayers, given a chance to live ~afer lives and be
given a chance to submit alternatives.
Mrs. Mary Ortner, 32 E~.canyo Drive, spoke in sympathy with the ;'~]nston Nanor Homeowners
Association. She stated that in the 7~1- years she had lived in her ho~e sbt know of
one fatality from the H!~c~ey Boulevard overpa~s and that wa~ one involvin~ a motor-scooter.
Chief Fabbri rer!~ed that this was true but there wore other injuries involving pedes-
trians who failed to use the overpass.
Mrs. Ortner continued by describin9 the bottle-neck at peak hours at Westborough
Boulevard and this would be aggravated by the traffic addition if Clay Avenue were closed.
Mayor Bertucelli replied to Mrs. Ortner's statement regarding the special study session
concerning the Westborough 5xtension ~xpressway by staten9 that the meeting had been
scheduled for Thursday, February 9th at 7:30 p.m., for the convenience of Mr. Ortner.
This was satisfactory to Mrs. Ortner.
Mr. James Really, 328 Garden~ide Avenue, requested some information of Council concerning
CATV.
City Attorney Noonan explained that terms and conditions have been finally drafted and
mailed and the applicants have until the ~Oth of February to respond to those terms and
conditions. After that response, the Council will make a determination as to what
applicant receives the grant.
To Mr. Reil!y's inquiry as to the delay of the grant, Git7 Attorney Noonan explained
in detail the complications ~nvo!ved in the granting of the franchise to i. nsure the
highest class of service and reasonable rates tc which the residents are entitled. He
further explained that this was a very valuable franchise and the reasons why he delayed
action was that he could tborough!y study al! scopes.
Mayor Bertucelli commended City Attorney Noonan for his care and consideration given
to working out the details. He commented that other cities had hurriedly granted
franchises and the firms did not perform. Mayor Bertucelli stated that whoever was
granted the South San Francisco franchise would definitely pcrform and would be bonded.
