CHILDRSI' S IiELLTII HOI,{E AITXILIARY
!{ayor Crosby referred to a requeat received fron the Children's tlealth
gone Auxiliary for permisaion to use the old city Hall for its "Ilaunted
Eouse" project in october and to plans in the formation to demolish the
building to create a parking lot for the convenience of holiday shoppers.
lilrs. Robert Remensperger, President of the Auxiliary, in the audience,
spoke on the success of the previous projects fron uhich funds are
derived to give assistance to retarded adults and children and to
participate in csnmunity activities; that based upon prior experience,
approxirnately 25,000 people sould visit downtown Burlingame betrreen
october 24, through Saturday, October 31, with the building vacated by
llovember 2 .
tl[r. William iI. Eauser, General ttlanager, Burlingame Chaniber of Conmerce,
spoke on his conference sith the apon6or6 of the Eaunted llouse project
and that some doubt has been expressed by the merdrants that weather
conditions ray forestall the demolition of the building in November,
thus delaying the conEtruction of the parking lot; business sales
during the holiday season average between $2O0,O0O.O0 to 930O,O00.00in Noveriber and between $4OO,00O.00 to $500,000.0O in Decenber, and
that although there is no objection to the use of the building for the
purpose intended, there is a conflict of dates.
Ur. Eauser stated that the merctrant s are appreciative of the businese
last year's project activated r however, there ie a question in his mind
hrith respect to the use of a public building that has been condenned.
It{rs. Ruth steiner, a member of t}re euxiliary, speaking on the condemna-
tion of the building, stated that this point should not preclude its
usager that there is sufficient insurance to cover all contingencies
and requested that Council take a favorable action.
Council man titartin, conmenting upon the relatively few parking spaces
proposed in the area, to include also an acceas-rvay, obeerved that it
has been reported that an attendance of approximately 25,000 people
visiting the project, will also circulate in the business area.
!tr. P. R. (Bud) Taylor, a member of the Burlingame Charuber of Comme rce
Parking Corurittee, stated that several years have elapsed since pro-
ceedings were initiated to formulate a parking district; the bonds
will soon be sold, plans are laid to demolish the building in August,
and parking spaces will be made available in Decemberi that in his
opinion, it would be poor planning to delay an action.
I{r. Taylor's corurent that the use of the old City Hall as a "Haunted
I{ouse " was inappropriate, was concurred sith by Councilman Atn8trup,
howeve r worthwhile the project.
A poll of council thereafter indicated Councilrnan Atnstrup, Councilman
ilohnson, Councilman Uangini and llayor crosbtr in agreement with proceeding
with plans to improve the Bubject lot.
ltrs. Remensperger, soliciting the assiatance of Council in locating
another site in Burlingame for the Haunted House project, lras referred
to Realtor PauI constantino, in the audience, who volunteered to as8ist
the Auxiliary by approaching the orrners of the vacant l,lontgomery Ward
store as a possible project aite.
Iilayor crosby spoke on the untiring efforts of the Parking Cor0mittee to
obtain additional lots for inclusion within the Parking District, the
arrangements under*ray to demolish the building and his personal opinion
that priority should favor the creatj,on of the parking lot.
