NOTATIONS OF
STUDY MEETING
�. July 14 , 1976
1 . Discussed the problem raised by Mr . Joseph Karp regarding the possible
increased insurance costs for properties because of the city ' s ordinance re-
quirements . After thorough discussion the matter was referred to the City
Attorney for further investigation and report on the options for relief .
2 . The suggestions from the county for providing a higher level of animal
control service under the contract with the Peninsula Humane Society were
reviewed . It was thought that more animal control officers are needed because
of dog problems and a $ 1 . 00 raise to provide better service is warranted to
support the increased program .
3 . The recommendation from the Planning Commission that a street extending
from Carolan Avenue to Rollins Road be constructed was studied . The idea of
establishing a special assessment district was raised ; the City Attorney and
the City Planner will investigate this approach and obtain more facts and infor-
mation thereon including some reaction of property owners to this method .
4 . The preliminary plans and design for the addition to Fire Station #3 were
reviewed and are acceptable .
5 .- The position of the city on the PUC list for railroad crossing eliminations
was considered . Broadway is tweYth on the list and could move up for funding
`- by 1977-78 . However, before proceeding with engineering on the project , an
EIR on the various impacts of designs will be undertaken .
6 . The enforcement of sign ordinance violations was reviewed . It was thought
that the city should pursue violators on a complaint basis ; to canvass for
violatorswas considered too impracticable a program with the resources now
available .
7 . The program for automotive and mechanical maintenance was reviewed .
It was the general opinion that it would be economical to operate this division
because of the increased costs of outside services and the large amount of equip-
ment in need of control and maintenance . However , it was thought that the program
should be spelled out to determine just what services will be provided and what
must be contracted out . The Director of Public Works will outline the program
after the regular compliment of help is obtained and the program is functioning
as oriiginally approved for service and economy . .
8 . The matter of an annexation policy was discussed . LAFCO has indicated they do
not desire to extend the existing applications for annexation beyond September . It
was thought that a fee should be charged for annexations . A minimum fee with percen-
tage increases in accordance with proper criteria will be considered at the August
Council meeting .

Council .
10 . The plans and specifications for the improvments at the Riblic Works Corpora-
tion Yard were discussed . Additional needs and improvement items were discussed
These additional items will be designed and specified for bidding on an alternative
basis . The safety improvements will be bid and the other items considered indi-
vidually as alternatives for final decision when competative bids are obtained .
11 . The proposed traffic code revisions were reviewed in detail . Suggested
changes were made for the City Attorney to incorporate into the traffic code
before it is considered for introduction and adoption as part of the Municipal
Code .
