WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS: 6. From Mr. Richard P. Thunder, Realtor, expressing regret for the recent public attack made on the Council and stating he knew that thousands of citizens join hir in expressing their appreciation for the job the Council has done in handling the affairs of the community. 7. From Mr. George T. Hansen, businessman and developer, stating he thought the unwarranted criticism directed at the Council by misinformed individuals and dis- gruntled minorities is disgraceful and he said the Council is to be commended for its efforts in behalf of the City of Alameda and its citizens. 8. From Mr. W. F. Suman, Certified Public Accountant, deploring the slander and vilification to which the Council was recently subjected, stating his opinion that the Council is doing a magnificent job and thanking it for the honesty, courage and sincerity shown in handling the man important and controversial matters which have come before it. 9. From John Ohanneson, M. D., conveying his belief in the integrity and sincerity of every member of the City Council and expressing the opinion this thought is true of the majority of the population of the City. He thanked the Council for the, time and energy given and assured it of his moral support in its endeavors. 10. A certified copy of Resolution No. 5701, adopted by the Executive Committee of the Alameda Chamber of Commerce, expressing its confidence in the integrity, good faith and industry of the members of the City Council; urging all citizens who may appear before said Council to conduct themselves with dignity, decorum and prop- er respect toward a Legislative Body and deploring and denouncing any conduct which does not reflect the proper behaviour. At this time President Kranelly said, on behalf of his fellow members of the City Council, he would like to sincerely thank the several individuals for their un- solicited letters and the Chamber of Commerce for its resolution, commenting on the occurrence at the last Council meeting. He felt it appropriate to make a brief statement. Obviously, the situation is one the Council cannot afford to overlook or allow to go unnoticed. At the time this Council took office, it was stated to this "individual" in one of its first meetings, the Councilmen felt they were the elected representatives of the City of Alameda and, as such, were entitled to the respect of its citizens. He said the Council has listened and gone along with this party and all it asked in return is that it be treated respectfully by this individ- ual in addressing the Council - and the Council would, of course, extend the same treatment. As far as this person's remarks were concerned, they were unwarranted, untrue and slanderous - and aimed at the Council by a person who is unrefined, crude, disrespectful and small in stature and character - but the Council considers the source and does not take it too seriously by a person it considers a buffoon. President Kranelly stated it is highly regrettable that, at the meeting in question, the Council had the members of the Boy Scouts present and that they should be ex- posed to such a temperamental outburst. It was a sorry example to set before these boys. He felt the only other unhappy event during the evening was the fact that there was some applause following the remarks and he said he considers these few persons only put themselves in the same class as the "gentleman ". With regard to the future, President Kranelly said - and he mentioned he was speaking for the entire Council - the Council will never allow such an occurrence again. The Council has been very tolerant - but it does have ways and means to control such situations and they will be used in the future. The individual is not going to be picked out and made an example of - he will be treated the same as anyone else who desires to address the Council. If there is any demonstration, he will be asked to be seated and keep still. If there is any disrespect shown the Chair or Councilmen, he will be escorted from the Chamber by the uniformed Police Officer who will be present. President Kranelly concluded by again thanking those who had written the letters of commendation. Further approval and support of the Council was indicated by a hearty round of applause by the large audience in attendance. 102 1 11. From J. Henry Harris, submitting Application for Permit to Fill Property, located immediately west of 554 Central Avenue, with approximately 5,000 cubic yards of broken concrete by end dump from trucks. A bond in the amount of 85,000.00 accompanied the Application. Councilman Hove moved the Application be approved and the Permit to Fill Property be granted as requested. The motion was seconded by Councilman Moresi and unanimous- ly carried. Councilman Moresi asked that every effort be made to keep the area clean - she felt the dust created by the dumping would be a nuisance. 12? From Lathing and Plastering Institute, signed by Mr. Robert E. Scott, Field Representative, requesting to be notified if, and when, any resolution amending the Uniform Building Code relative to exterior plastering is to be submitted to the Council for discussion. Mr. Froerer stated this matter is being investigated very carefully as there are certain jurisdictions involved, but it should be ready for consideration at the next meeting. The Clerk was instructed to acknowledge the letter and inform the Institute the matter would probably be on the agenda for the next meeting of the Council to be held March 5. 131. From Bethel Missionary Baptist Church, signed by The Reverend Herbert Guice, Minister, extending an invitation to the Council to attend its Fourth Anniversary Service on Sunday, March 3, 1957, at 3:30 o'clock. President Kranelly thanked the Church for its invitation which was duly noted and then ordered filed. 14. From Mrs. Edna J. Boyer, 2422 Otis Drive, registering a complaint with regard to the inadequacy of pavement markings or posted signs indicating the lawful way to park in the Municipal Parking Lot between Central and Alameda Avenues, near Oak Street. She said she had received a citation for "wrong -way" parking, due to the lack of proper instructions. The City Manager stated the markings at the particular location referred to are temporary and they will be made permanent when the Mortuary building has been moved. The City Engineer stated demolition of said structure is planned to begin next Monday. Councilman Moresi felt citations should not be issued until proper markings are permanently established. It was developed that this citation had been cancelled. The City Manager was instructed to write Mrs. Boyer a letter of explanation. 15 From the Board of Trustees of Reclamation District No. 2087, submitting copy of its resolution approving Estimate No. 15 and requesting Council approval of DemandWarrant No. 41 in the sum of 65,914.92, payable to Utah Dredging Company.

From the City Manager, recommending contract be awarded to Scott Co., low bidder, for the project of Installing Sanitary Sewers for Alameda Municipal Golf Courses, at the price of 318,788.72. Councilman McCall moved the City Manager's recommendation be adopted; that contract be awarded to the designated firm for the specified project at the price quoted and the bid checks or bonds be returned to the unsuccessful bidders. The motion was seconded by Councilman Haag and on roll call carried by the following vote. Ayes: Five. Noes: None. Absent: None. 21. From the Mayor, nominating Mr. Chester R. Bartalini for appointment to the office of member of the Recreation Commission - to serve the unexpired term of William Raimondi, resigned, which will expire August 31, 1958. The matter was referred to "Resolutions ". 22. From the City Auditor, relative to the purchase and necessary financing of a second accounting machine. It was explained that 35,186.05 had been encumbered at one time for the machine, but now a different model has to be purchased, which costs $5,665.00, plus tax. It was stated, however, $600.00 had been budgeted for new filing cabinets, which purchase could be postponed from this fiscal year, and that sum could be used toward the difference in price of the two models. There would still remain a $200.00 deficit and it was requested this amount be transferr- ed from the Contingent Fund Account No. 199 to the Capital Outlay Account of the Auditor, No. 109.401, in view of the dire need of the second machine. Councilman Haag moved the request of the Auditor be approved - and he further stated he felt the Council should find some way to provide sufficient money for the Auditor to be able to purchase both the filing cabinets and the new accounting machine, instead of having to sacrifice the cabinets. The motion was seconded by Councilman Hove and unanimously carried. The matter was then referred to "Resolutions ". 23. From the City Attorney, with regard to the apparent discrepancy in the bound- ary line between the City's property at the eastern edge of Washington Park tide- lands and the abutting property owner, Utah Construction Company. The respective deeds overlapped approximately 25 feet along the entire boundary line, running from the existing sea wall to the tideland lot line. As a result of investigations by those concerned, it has been determined without a doubt that the title of Utah Construction Company is superior to that of the City. Accordingly, demand was immediately made upon the Oakland Title Insurance Company under its policy of title insurance issued to the City in 1925 that it (1) effect a conveyance of said strip of land to the City or (2) pay to the City its damages as a result of this loss of land up to the limits of the policy, viz: $2,000.00. It was requested by Mr. Annibale that the City Manager and the City Attorney be authorized to execute certain releases for and on behalf of the City so that the payment of the $2,000.00 may be made, which is the ultimate the City can demand of the Title Company. Mr. Annibale explained this matter simply goes back to the "base title" - the deed of Utah Construction Company was recorded first. The 25 -foot strip amounts to about 1.356 acres of land. Councilman Hove moved the City Attorney and the City Manager be authorized to execute certain releases on behalf of the City so the payment of the 42, 000.00 may be made by the Oakland Title Insurance Company. The motion was seconded by Council- man Moresi and on roll call carried by the following vote. Ayes: Five. Noes: None. Absent: None. 24. From the City M- nager, requesting authorization to dispose of 31,530 gallons of fuel oil, stored in tanks at Encinal Housing Project, which is no longer needed and constitutes a fire hazard. Councilman Moresi moved the City Manager be authorized to sell the fuel oil as requested. The motion was seconded by Councilman McCall and unanimously carried. 25 From the City Manager, submitting to the Council for consideration the suggest- ion that certain temporary housing projects - Makassar Straits and possibly Western - be remodeled to house married college students. It was pointed up that this would be an added incentive for having the State College established here at the Maritime School site. There are a total of 508 living units in these two projects. To secure the investment, if such remodeling were accomplished, it would be necessary to have the State Housing Act amended as this law requires that all temporary war housing must be demolished by 1961. The matter was referred to the Committee of the Whole for study. 26. From the City Manager, recommending contracts be awarded to the following low bidders in connection with the project of Constructing Woodstock Park and Play- ground: Huettig & Schromm, Inc., for Item 1, Site Work and Utilities, $31,328.00; Cyclone Fence Department of the United States Steel Corporation for Item 2, Fences and Backstop, $3,950.00; Watkin & Sibbald for Item 4, Landscaping, 05,355.00. It was further recommended that all other bids be rejected. Councilman McCall moved the City Manager's recommendations be adopted; that the designated companies be awarded contracts for the specific items as listed, the other bids be rejected and the bid bonds or checks be returned to the unsuccessful bidders. The motion was seconded by Councilman Haag and on roll call carried by the following vote. Ayes: Five. Noes: None. Absent: None. INTRODUCTION OF ORDINANCES: 27. Councilman Hove introduced the following ordinance, after which it was laid over under provision of law and the Charter: "Ordinance No. New Series Amending the Alameda Municipal Code by Amending Section 5 -171.2 Thereof, Relating to the Use of Sidewalks for the Sale of Merchandise." UNFINISHED BUSINESS: 28. Councilman Moresi stated the Council had discussed the possibility of moving the Murphy Mortuary building and the matter was to have been investigated as to estimates of the cost of remodeling it for City use - and she said she is now surprised to hear they are preparing to raze it. Upon request, Mr. Froerer stated that, in interrogating Dr. Roderick, Superintend- ent of Schools, concerning the relocation of the School Administration Building, he was informed it cost $2,000.00 to move the structure and 015,000.00 to remodel it. He pointed out the contract for the removal of this building from the parking lot site had been awarded before this discussion came up - and according to the City Engineer, demolition is to start next Monday. In response to President Kranelly's question as to the situation, Mr. Annibale stated the City would be liable for breach of contract if it did not proceed with the project as originally awarded. NEW BUSINESS: 29. Councilman Haag called attention to the savings being made on City insurance, through the calling for bids during the past three years. One type of coverage was recently renewed at a cost of 0268.32 - and the same policy had cost $477.99 three years ago - or a saving of 44 per cent. RESOLUTIONS: 30.
