ing vote. Ayes: Five. Noes: None. Absent: None.
3. From Oakland Chamber of Commerce, signed by Mr. W. A. Sparling, General Manager, extending its
appreciation for the cooperation of City of Alameda in establishing the Scenic Tour project.
The communication was noted with thanks and ordered filed.
4. From Mr. Lee Mayfield, 1509 Benton Street, in complaint about the unhealthy conditions prevail-
ing in the building formerly operated as Walkerts Appliance Store, corner of Santa Clara Avenue and
Benton Street.
City Attorney Cunningham referred to the letter from Mr. Charles B. Ruegnitz, Chief, Bureau of Sani-
tation, Eastern District, Alameda County Health Department, dated September 29, 1967. Copies of
said letter had been sent to all members of the Council for their information. It was pointed out
that notice had been given to Mr. William Walker, owner of the premises, to discontinue the use of
this store building for dwelling purposes. Mr. Cunningham stated there was also a complaint on
file with the District Attorney for continuing use of the building for an appliance business after
his application for a renewal Use Permit had been denied. The matter was under active process.
In response to Councilman La Croix's question, the City Attorney said he believed this issue might
be settled within three to four weeks. Mr. Cunningham was to follow through on this situation.
. From Willow Street Home Owners, signed by Mrs. Mona Jacobs, 1019 Willow Street, protesting
• against "no parking on west side of Willow Street, between Encinal and San Jose Avenues" - as set
forth in Ordinance No. 1555, New Series. The letter was accompanied by a list of signatures of
seven property owners in this block. Also accompanied by a letter of protest from Mr. B. M. Custer,
operator of the Autumn Boarding Home (Rest Home), 2071 San Antonio Avenue.
Mr. Walter Jacobs, 1158 Park Avenue, represented his mother and spoke on her behalf. It was empha-
sized that this most recent ordinance effected complete no parking on Willow Street in this two-
block area. It was contended that said street was narrow and said restriction would increase the
speeding. Further, it was claimed this would reduce property values and make it difficult for service
men in making their calls. He thought it would be acceptable if the "no parking" were limited to
the period between 4:00 and 6:00 o'clock p.m.
The President stated it had been suggested this no parking be set for only the day time between 8:00
o'clock a.m. and 6: 00 o'clock p.m.
Mrs. B. M. Custer explained that she and her husband would have an investment of about eighty thousand
dollars upon completion of the remodeling of their Rest Home. They had bought this property because
it had considerable street parking available. However, under the current limitation, they would be
denied this privilege because on the San Antonio Avenue frontage only one car could be parked due to
the existence of a fire hydrant.
Councilman La Croix suggested a study be made to establish whether or not a stop sign should be
installed at Willow Street and San Antonio Avenue, should the no parking limitation be set between
8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. The matter was referred to the City Manager for consultation with the City
Engineer concerning the compromise of the two suggested no-parking periods - 4:00 to 6:00 otclock
p.m. or 8:00 otclock a.m. to 6:00 o'clock p.m.
It was noted there were only two properties in this area which had no off-street parking facilities
at all and thus were the only two properties actually affected by the no parking.
6. From Mrs. Lenore Allen, 1705 Cornell Drive, calling attention to the condition of the sidewalk
on the west side of Cornell Drive, between Fairview and Bayo Vista Avenues. She felt the situation
should be corrected.
City Engineer Hanna commented that he had talked with Mrs. Allen and this matter was to be followed
up when the HAllens" had returned from a vacation.
7:' From Reclamation District No. 2105, signed by the Secretary, requesting approval of Warrants Nos.
131 and 132 in the respective amounts of $441,601.43 and 50,000., for payment of certain dredging
work and to reimburse the revolving fund.
The matter was referred to uResolutionsu.
ORAL COMMUNICATIONS:
v7
8. Mr. Frank A. Gottstein, 731 Haight Avenue, referred to the fact that there were five parking
meters in the block in which he lived on Haight Avenue between Webster Street and Eighth Street. He
said it was not fair that residents had to pay to park in front of their own homes.while the City
Parking lot just across the street was "starving to death".
It was developed that this block was in the "C-211, Commercial District.
The President suggested it might be wise to investigate the possibility of having the parking meters
in question - both on street and in the parking lot - effective until 12:00 midnight. The City
Attorney was so ordered.
Mr. Gottstein then suggested that the Federal Government buy this City Parking Lot for the construc-
tion of its new Post Office and use the present main Post Office for its substation.
HEARINGS:
9: The following Matters were called up: (1) Concerning the Resolution of Intention to Amend Reso-
lution of Intention re Assessment District No. 67-1 - Street Improvements in the Vicinity of Otis
School; (2) Concerning the Public Convenience and Necessity re Assessment District No. 67-1; (3)
Concerning the Engineer's Report and Assessment re Assessment District No. 67-1. These Hearings had
been continued from the Council meeting held September 19, 1967, to this meeting.
The Clerk read the names of those who had submitted written protests against the proposed formation
of Assessment District No. 67-1, as follows: Mrs. Opal Handy, 998 High Street; Mrs. Mary Ratto
Fanucchi, 995 Post Street; Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Clegg, 1009 Peach Street; Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Brown,
3233 Calhoun Street; Mr. and Mrs. Charles W. Johnson, 1007 Peach Street; Mr. and Mrs. Ted Kaufman,

Letters in favor of said 'District' had been received from: Mr. and Mrs. M. Jenkins, 1010 Peach
Street; Ralph E. and Isabelle O. Murphy, 1020 Peach Street; Mrs. Ursula McLean, 1026 Peach Street;
Board of Education; Kenneth A. and Shirlee C. Miller, 1004 Peach Street.
Upon request, City Attorney Cunningham reviewed the proceedings required in every case where an Assess-
ment District was undertaken. Such a District was for the construction of public improvements in which
the benefits of said improvements were spread in proportion to the value received from the adjoining
property owners. He cited the fact that the three Hearings were held on Resolution No. 7191, amending
Resolution No. 7176, (No. 1); Resolution No. 7192 (No. 2); and Resolution No. 7193 (No. 3). He
explained the legal procedure covered by the Majority Protest Act of 1931 and also that said Hearing
No. 2 was required of Charter cities, such as Alameda, under the State Constitution.
The City Clerk stated the Affidavits of Posting and Mailing the Notices of Improvement and other docu-
ments pertaining to these proceedings were on file.
City Engineer Hanna spoke on the fundamental purpose of streets and their improvement. He pointed out
the basic State Law in this respect was the Street Improvement Act of 1911. Mr. Hanna explained that
the Municipal Improvement Act of 1913 was the one under which these proceedings were being carried out.
He emphasized that its principal objective was equity for all of the people affected. He stated the
City had been consistent in its policy that the initial improvements be constructed at the expense of
the benefitted properties and then, once installed, the City would maintain and replace them as
necessary.
By reference to a large map displayed for the information of all, Mr. Hanna then pointed out the streets
involved in the proposed Assessment District. He indicated the areas to be paid for by the City itself
and the Board of Education.
f $
The President called for the opponents to the question who had filed written protests and the following
presented their verbal arguments against the formation of said District: Mr. Sergio Fanucchi, 995

1009 Peach Street, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Brown, 3233 Calhoun Street, Mr. and Mrs. Charles W. Johnson,
1007 Peach Street, and Mr. and Mrs. Lee Gilbert, 1015 Peach Street; Mr. Bertil Johnson, 1026 Fountain

UNFINISHED BUSINESS:
24v.- President McCall broached the subject of nResolution No. 6619, Declaring Opposition of City of
Alameda to Any Southern Bay Crossing Having Terminus or Accesses Thereto Within Said City'', which
had been adopted by the City Council May 19, 1964. He referred to a memorandum from City Attorney
Cunningham suggesting that should there be a desired change of position in this matter, the Council
should direct the City Attorney to prepare an appropriate resolution for submission at the next
Council meeting.
The President reiterated his thinking that it was inevitable there would be a Southern Crossing Bridge
and, therefore, he believed the Council should endeavor to insure that the City would get the best and
most adequate type of approaches, and on-and-off ramps at the best locations possible to procure. He
felt there should be further consideration given this matter and possibly a change of the Council's
position.
Councilman La Croix commented that it was admitted the proposed terminus of said Southern Crossing
would divide the City and increase traffic congestion. Therefore, he stated he would not change his
opposition to the probable terminus route.
The President then asked that the City Attorney prepare a resolution in support of the Alameda terminus
of the Southern Crossing Bridge.
25. President McCall also referred to the Grand Street Boat Ramp which had been obtained through fin-
ancing by the State Wildlife Conservation Board. He reported that he had been in Sacramento this date
and had appeared before the Executive of said Board and the Director of the Department of Fish and
Game to assure them that the City of Alameda was still interested and it was the City's intention
to pursue its attempts to procure such a facility and a Fishing Pier on the South Shore.
NEW BUSINESS:
26:' Councilman Bartley spoke on the subject of the proposed construction in Alameda of a new Post
Office by the Federal Government. The proposed site, as determined by the Federal Postal Officials,
fronted on Webb Avenue, running northerly to Lincoln Avenue, in the middle of the block between Park
Street and Everett Street. He remarked that when this issue first became public knowledge in
November, 1966, not one City Official had been contacted or notified of such intention. However,
subsequently, there had been a meeting of certain City Officials, representatives of the Alameda
Chamber of Commerce and the Post Office Department.
Councilman Bartley pointed out the Planning Director had been instructed in January of this year to
make a study of possible Post Office sites - which was done. Mr. Johnson's report had indicated the
undesirability of the proposed site and the several disadvantages which would be encountered.
Upon request, Mr. Johnson verbally cited the following serious criticisms of the contemplated location:
Its extremely poor vehicular traffic service; Its poor pedestrian access; Its non - effective frontage.
Mr. Johnson stated the building could not serve as a catalyst for other development and would offer
no incentive for the buildings on Park Street to be refurbished. Furthermore, it would take away sig-
nificantly from the service area which served these businesses.
Mr. Ralph M. Smith, General Manager of the Alameda Chamber of Commerce, who had diligently endeavored
to get some action from the Postal authorities, was called upon for a report on this matter. Mr.
Smith stated he had been directed by the Chamber Board of Directors to contact the Postal Regional
Office to try to arrange a meeting with all parties concerned. He explained that he had attempted
to do this but had been informed just this date that the decision to meet or not meet with the local
representatives was up to the Post Office Department and no longer under the jurisdiction of the San
Francisco Office.
President McCall said he believed the only step the City could take to accomplish some action would
be for the City Attorney to send a telegram to The Honorable George P. Miller, Congressman, Eighth
District, urging him to set up a meeting in which the City Officials could discuss the Post Office
situation in the City of Alameda. He felt the City could offer some alternate sites. The President
referred particularly to the existing parking lot at the rear of the present main Post Office and
the possibility of extending the area on through to Santa Clara Avenue. He expressed the hope that
a new Post Office building would stimulate other construction within the central business area.
Councilman La Croix said he believed the requested meeting should be held in Alameda in order to
better sell the City's position to the Postal authorities. He also wanted to have it made very clear
that the City in no way was opposed to a new Post Office but only to the presently proposed site.
27; Councilman La Croix read a portion of a statement about a Public Hearing concerning a Resolution
of Intention to Establish an Assessment District encompassing the Merritt Campus of Peralta Junior
College to be scheduled by the Oakland City Council some time in September or October. The purpose
of said District would be to construct an access road to the new Oakland Campus in the amount of
51,200,000. It was set forth that the taxpayers in the two - county, six -city "District" would be
taxed an estimated three cents per one hundred dollars of appraised valuation for five years to pay
for said thoroughfare. He inquired who had the right of protest in this matter.
It was stated the City of Oakland had requested that this street be four lanes instead of the two
lanes originally requested by the "District" and Councilman La Croix questioned whether or not the
City of Oakland could acquire a $1,200,000. four -lane road to be paid for by taxpayers outside the
City of Oakland.
Therefore, Councilman La Croix asked that the City Attorney investigate the legality of this situa-
tion as requested by the City of Oakland and submit his opinion on the subject.

None. Absent: None.
41. At this point, President McCall referred to a resolution which had been adopted by the City of
Livermore, indicating its opposition to an increase in Motor Vehicle Registration fees on behalf of
the Bay Area Rapid Transit District. He believed the State Legislature would be taking some action
to provide additional funds for "BART" - and it could be on the basis of an increase in the bridge
tolls or the registration fees. He asked for the Council's concurrence that he suggest to the members
of the Mayors' Conference that a study be made that the tolls on all San Francisco Bay Bridges be
increased ten cents per vehicle only for the period of time in which to raise the funds to pay off
the bonds for "BART".
Following considerable discussion it was determined that the City Council of Alameda would go on record
as being in opposition to an increase in motor vehicle registration fees to provide additional funds
for "BART". The City Attorney was instructed to immediately draft a resolution to this effect, copies
of which could be distributed at the Mayors' Conference to be held the next evening.
There being no objections, the meeting was referred back to "Resolutions".
RESOLUTIONS:
42. The following resolution was introduced by Councilman La Croix, who moved its adoption:
"Resolution No. 7229
Declaring Opposition to Increase in Motor Vehicle Registration Fees to
Provide Increased Monies for Bay Area Rapid Transit District."
The motion to adopt said resolution was seconded by Councilman Levy and carried on the following roll
call vote. Ayes: Five. Noes: None. Absent: None.
The President declared said resolution adopted.

announced that the next regular meeting of the Council scheduled for October 17, 1967, would not be
