(Ordinance I'Io. BBl, "Regu- lating the Sale Of lIilk In The City Of Burlingame') Mrs. l{ussman filed a petition signed by L76 persons asking that tire rnilk be made available to shoppers in Burlingame. i,Irs. Mussman told of her exposure to the benef its of certif ied raw milk several years ago when it was prescribed by a physician for irer son, who was seriously i11 at the time. She stated that the milk is sold in the cities of l"lillbrae and San Mateo but that it is an inconvenience to travel to another city for a single item of fooc. l,Irs. llussman introcluced Mr. PauI Virgin, Director of Public 264 Relations, Altadena Milk Company, City of Industry, County of Los Angeles, the only certified dairy in the State of California, and one of three such dairies in the United States. Mr. Virgin first explained that there is a distinct difference between certifi-e<i raw milk and raw nilk--the first standards for certified milk were introduced in lBBB for the medical profession and, during the little better than 60 years that the milk has been sold in California, there has never been one proven case of a human contacting a disease because certj-fied raw milk was con- sumed. Mr. Virgin emphasized that certified raw milk dairies are closely regulated and subject to constant surveillance by the State Department of Agriculture and the State Department of Pub- lic lleaLth. Iie spoke at length of precautions that must be taken in care and treatment of the dairy cows, methods of milking, standards of cleanliness and sanitation observed within the builclings and of the requirement for regular physical examinations for employees, to insure full compliance with the rules and regu- Iations for producing certifieo raw milk. Iie advised that Alta- dena Milk Company bottles carry the seal of the American Milk Association. He mentioned that the counties of San Francisco and Los Angeles prohibit the sale of raw milk but not certified raw miIk. The City Attorney, responding to the Chair, reported that the city's ordinance prohibiting the sale of such milk was adopted to be effective in this city as part of a uniform program initiated by the San Mateo County Ilealth Department on the recom- mendation of Dr. II.D. Chope, County tlealth Officer and Eugene llowell, Public llealth Enqineer. The City Attorney advised there is in the city's files an extensive file on this subject, inclucling a communication from Dr. Chope expressing his opposition, and that of aII members of the health depart- ment, to lowering the county's standards by permitting the sale of raw milk, certified or guaranteed. It was the recommendation of the City Attorney' if Council intends to consider repealing the city's ordinance, that the County Health Department be invited to express its views. Councllman Crosby's suggestion that the subject be pursued fur- ther at a studyreeting was accepted. Because of the lengthy agenda for the June 14 study meeting, it was clecided to hold the matter until Ju1y. Mr. Virgin indicated no objection. The City Manager was requestecl to invite a representative of the County IIeaIth Department. RECONVENE Following a recess at 8:55 p.m., the Chair reconvened the meeting at 9 :10 p.m. iJIDS 1. WASiIII.IGTON PARK TEI'INIS COURTS Bids for resurfacing tennis courts at Washington Park on Wednesday, May 24, L972, dt 2:00 p.m., in compliance published notice, were declared as follows: BIDDER TOTAL BID opened with Malott & Peterson-Grundy I{enrich and Associates A&B Asphalt Sealing Co. $5, rB6.0o 6,300.00 7 ,825.00 Engineer's trstimat.e $7,000.00 265 In a communication dated I'{ay 24, 1972, the Director of Public Works recofitmended that the project be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder, Malott & Peterson-Grundy. Ile reported that monies for the project have been budgeted in the Park Department Capital Improvement account.

Su1livan, L72 EIm Avenue, Burlingame, owner of Tennis Scene, 140I Chapin Avenue, apparel and equipment shop for tennis devotees, addressed the Council, suggesting that consideration be given to complete reconstruction of the courts to bring them to current standards, in lieu of resurfacing and repainting. He stated that the courts are outdated, in poor conditj-on with improper drainage and that the proposed contract work will not cure the problems. He explained that the facilities cannot be usecl for tournament play, because they fail to meet the standarcls and, additionally, do not satisfy the better than average player, of which there are many in the city. IIe suggested that Council request the contractor to submit a bid for four new courts t.o prof essional standards. Councilman Amstrup stated that the subject of redoing the courts r,ras brought to Council's attention recently because they are at variance with professional standards. ile asked for clarification on ttre problems of surface grade and drainage. Council was informed by the City Engineer ancl !1r. Sullivan that the courts drain to the centeri current standards specify hiqh point in the center and slope to sides for drainage. Councilman Amstrup suggested that a study be made to determine the feasibility of constructing additional courts elsewhere. In response to a question raisecl by Councilman llartin, the City Manager reported it was the position of the Recreation Depart- ment that the courts were for recreational use, that they be maintained for that purpose and perhaps two new courts to pro- fessional standards could be built in another location. Councilman l4artin suggested that awarcl of contract be held for two weeks and that the Park and Recreation Commission be invited to submit its views as to the best use of the courts. Councilman Cusick asked if the contractor would be willing to give an estimate of the cost of total reconstruction. The Chair thereafter declared the matter continued to the regular meeting on June L9, L972, for a reconrmendation from Park ancl Recreation Commission and for staff to obtain estimated costs on reconstruction. 2.

Declaring the hearing open, the Chair invitecl comments from the floor in favor of the proposed district. Mr. Noel Frelicot, owner of Mr. NoeI De Paris Beauty Salon, 1416 Chapin Avenue, asked about the time element involved in completing the work. IIe explaj-ned there is construction work underway at the present time almost directly in front of his place of business; a large piece of equipment apparently will be stationary for the duration of the work; trucks and other equipment have blocked his driveway and caused inconvenience to patrons. Mr. Frelicot did not oppose the undergrounding but was hopeful that. the street would not be torn up for a long time. The Chief of Police ancl City Engineer were requested to investigate the project in progress. Mr. Daniel Sullivan, merchant at 1401 Chapin Avenue, stated that the street has been burdened with heavy on-street parking due to construction on Burlingame Avenue. tle asked that the two-hour parking limitation be enforced ancl that construction equipment used in the undergrounding project not be permitted to remain overnight. irir. Watt Clinch, District irlanager, Pacific Gas & Electric Company, reporteo that crew truclcs normally are removed at the end of the working day but some pieces of equipment are left at the site to avoid towing. He explainecl that in commercial areas every effort is made not to interfere with retail business and to keep the area clear at night and on weekends. Opponents were invited to comment. Mr. EmiI Torello, owner of properties on both corners of Chapin Avenue and Primrose Road, questioned the need for undergrounding, stating that it is his and his tenants' position that the present arrangement is satisfactory. The hearing was declared closed. In response to Councilrnan Crosby, the City Engineer reported that estimates of costs to the property owners, furnished by Mausser Electric Company, vary from a low of $295.00 to a high of apppoxi- mately $2,000.00, depending upon location and length of the run. In response to Councilman Cusick's inquiry concerning the extent to which Chapin Avenue will be blocked, Mr. Clinch reported there will be some trenching but he did not have the details. Responding to Councilman Amstrup, Mr. Clinch indicated the work would commence in September or October. Councilman Martin announced his intention of voting against the 2LiT district, not because of opposition to the project but oppositionto all of the funds being expended in commercial areas. Ilereiterated his position taken on prior occasions that a portionof the funds should be allocated to j.mprove residential districts. Councilman Amstrup recal1ed that the question of priorities hasbeen discussed on several occasions. He recommended that. a conunit-tee be selected to consider the matter and submit its findings tothe Council. Councilman Crosby pointed out that a proposed undergroundingdistrict in the residential section of peninsula Avenue failedbecause the people did not r^rant it. He agreed that prioritiesshould be established and residential areas included, if the resi-dents are receptive.

There were no dissenting opinions; the City Manager r^ra s requested to so inform interested persons and thank them for their L,illing- ness to cooperate with the city. RECONVEI'IE Following a recess at 10:40 p.m., the Chair reconvened the meeting at 10:55 p.m. COIO4UNICATIOi{S (cont.) 4. SAFEWAY STORES OFFER TO CONTRIBUTE TO COSTS OF PARKING STUDY Acknowledgment was made of a communication dated ltlay 3l , 1972, from Safeway Stores, Inc., referring to a proposed buj.lding expansion project at El Camino Real and Howard Avenue and to problems in connection with on-site parking fesulting from credits that were taken against parking district assessments) . The comunication referred to the parking district survey authorized by the council and offered to contribute $15,000.00for the costs thereof; in return, the city to permit the building project to go to bid and construction to commence immediately thereafter. In a comnunication dated June l, )-972, the City Manager noted that "The Safeway situation poses a problem which should be sol-ved. It woul,d seem fair to al1ow any property owner to rebuild on his property provided he maintains the same number of legal spaces he originally had. In the alternate if he cannot, then he should be required to provide equivalent spaces elsewhere or cash . " The City ltanager's communication pointed out that modifications in the existing regulations will require analysis by Iegal counsel and parking counsel and it would not appear improper that Safeway should reirnburse the city for such services--it is their request(to after existing parking layout) that is causing the analysis to be made . Councilman Martin corNnented on the matter of precedent, stating that, if Safeway's offer is accepted, other owners in the parking distric!, with the same or similar probl-em will expect equal consideration. The Chair recognized llr. P.J. Davidson, Realty Department, Safeway Stores, Incorporated. Mr. Davidson stated that iL is the company's positj-on that the study will prove they are within their rights j-n what they propose to do. IIe explained that the project will cost in excess of $600,000.00, is the most expensive remocieling ever undertaken by the company and wilL enhance one of the city's key corners. He stated that safeway is of the opini.on that the project has caused the Council- to seek profes- sional- assistance in an attempt to resolve the parking situation and, for that reason, offers to pay the costs. 270 Mr. Davidson referred to present code requirements whereby retait stores are required to provide one 9x20 parking space for each 400 square feet of gross floor area. Applying the formula to the present building of J-7,425 square feet, Mr. Davidson noted that 44 parking stalls would be required in lieu of the 145 that Safeway has provided for the past 10years. He reported that the proposed enlargement will increase building area by approximateLy 5,912 square feet and rearrange- ment of parking vrill result in a total of 146 9x20 spaces, one more than presently exist and 88 more than required by code. Mr. Davidson stated that Saferray is willing to contribute the $15,000.00 immediately; if the parking consultants find that Safeway must conform to existing rules, it will be necessary to resolve the issue of future monetary contribution to the district; for the present, hopefully, the city will accept the offer and permit construction to proceed. The City Attorney pointed out there is a problem of precedent-- the precedent exists; both Walgreen's and the savings and loan buildings were made to conform to code; other buildings have been denied, other people have tendered a sum of money and have been refused, all on an administrative leve1 because the Council followed the ordinance. It was the City Attorneyts recommendation that the Council decline the offer on the grounds that it recognizes that Safe$ray has a problem, as do other owners; the problem is one that persists throughout the parking district and will be considered by the consu.Itants in their report. 5.

RAILROAD GATE CONTROLS Under date of June L, L972, the City Manager submitted a letterfrom Southern Pacific Company concerning gate operation at oak Grove crade Crossing. In its communication Southern Pacific Company advised that Lhe probJ-em of excessive gate operation can be elininated by installation of a Grade Crossing Predictor and removal- of the calibrated speed control circuit. It was Southern Pacific Companyrs positJ.on that installation of the new device will be for the benefit of the motoring public ofthe City of Burlingame and, for that reason, the city would be expected to contribute one-ha1f of the total cost, or approxi-mately S4,000.00. For the benefit of the Council, the city Manager described the situation that exists at both Oak Grove and Howard Avenue crossings where operation of the gates creates a serious hazard, endangering motorists waiting to cross the tracks. I'layor Mangini, the city Planner and Mr. Robert Anderson, 113 Crescent Avenue, stated they had witnessed the crossing gates operate as described by the City Manager.
