Discussed wi'_ Mr . Stanley G . Gould , A . I . A . , the )_,sibility of his designing a golf course club house and mc-d_ntenance: bu . :;ding . Mr . Gould suggested that Council ' s first step would be to decide which architect we would desir •a to work with ; with that assistance, a program cou , d be worked up . The City Attorney and City Engineer are still trying to put together a contract for retention of Robert M . Graves . W'-en this is availab'.^ , a special. meeting on all ramifications of the golf course , driving range and club house will have to be held . 2 . The Highland Avenue one-way street change was reviewed . After di: .ussion , i ': was fcl.t that one-way south for automobile raffic along with a one-way north lane for buses only would ba a compromise of this need Legislation to that effect will be prepared . 3 . A possible clean up program for the city was discussed . The Director of Public Works will invest4. -age a district clean yip on an experimental basis to determine what costs might run before any overall program is considered . 4 The request for uniform bus fare schedule was considered . It was suggested that the Transit Di ,trict be notified that .he Council reocmmends senior citizens be carried free here and in all cities . Mr . Robert Jones , a member of the Transit Board will also be notified of this recc.nmendation and requested to seek the board ' s endorsement thereof . 5 . The request of Mr Tom Simpson for permission to hold bicycle races in the downtown area on a Sunday morning during Burlingame Days was rejected . It was suggested Mr . Simpson might explore another location which will not cause so much conflict with the Burlingame Day ' s projects and thereby cause a parking problem . 6 . The possibility of adding a lot to the off- street parking space on Park Road near the Peninsula Bank was reviewed . It was felt that an overall approach to the parking problem should be undertaken rather than this piecemeal acquisition . The Mayor will seek to set up the mechanism for this prupose . 7 . The Metcalf and Eddy Sanitary Sewer report 'was studied . The Director of Public Works reported that several of the specific recommendations have already been accomplished . It was pointed out - this report indicated that it is economi- cally more feasible to correct illegal infiltrations than to increase treatment capacity . The report will .be studied further and the City Engineer will report back on implementation programs in accordance with the report ' s recommendations . Study Meeting -2- March 10 , 1976 B . Fire Chief Moorby presented the possibility of instigating smoke detector mandatory requirements for all residences. It was explained that such a pro- cram may take various courses . Several ordinances were presented from other cities . It was pointed out that they :contain provisions which appear undesirable such as not recognizing fire and burglar combined warning systems and not defining what repairs call for adding smoke detectors . The Fire Chief reported that the data presented was merely to have Council be aware of the matter and that a pro- gram be considered for adoption . 9 . It was reported that the American Legion should be notified to obtain approval of any subletting it undertakes at the building and premises on Burlingan•2 Avenue . Such provision is contained in the present lease agreement , and it is not being followed . 10 . A brochure for information to persons attending Council meetings was pre- sented .

A five dollar 1913 gold piece from the cornerstone of the old city hall was discussed as appearing to have substantial monetary value as a coin . It was thought that suggestions from the citizenry be sought on what to de with the coin ; and if sold to a purchaser , tlat the monies be designated for some appropriate use commensurate with the origination of the source of the memento . 15 . The meeting was adjourned at 11 : 00 p . m .
