and proper arrangements will be made for the presentation.

6. From Utah Construction Company, with reference to its .Letter of June 8, 1956,
requesting permission from the City Council to place on City-owned tideland prop-

If such action will be taken, Utah guarantees the total price for the fill, plus
the cost for constructing the dike, will not exceed the sum of thirty cents per
cubic yard for the fill. It was stressed that work on the dike must start without
delay in order to avert a serious financial loss.
The communication was noted and ordered filed.
i/
• Yrom Utah Construction Company, with reference to its letter of June 11, 1956,
setting rorth a general comparison between the price for the fill job at Metropoli-
tan Oakland International Airport and that for Washington Park. It was pointed out
it is difficult to compare the costs for the construction of the dikes themselves
as the work involved differs considerably.
The communication was noted and ordered filed.
8. From Kiwanis Club of Alameda, congratulating the Councilmen for their business-
like farsightedness in placing Measure "M", concerning the Washington Park Fill
Bond Issue, on the ballot at the June 5, 1956, election. The Council's firm stand
on this measure was a great service to the City.
President Kranelly thanked the Club for its letter of commendation, and ordered the
communication filed.
9. From Kiwanis Club of Alameda, thanking the Councilmen for their splendid support
of the Child Safety Council Program, which is one of the major objectives of the
Club.
President Kranelly expressed appreciation of the Council for this lot, and ordered
it filed.
10. From Dames & Moore, Soil Mechanics Engineers, submitting its proposal with
regard to site investigation of the proposed. Washington Park Development in the
amount of not to exceed ;4,500. The letter was accompanied by a Schedule of Charges.
Councilman Hove moved the City Manager be authorized to contact the firm of Dames
& Moore to proceed with soil tests in connection with the tideland fill at Washing-
ton Park. The motion was seconded by Councilman Moresi and on roll call carried
by the following vote. Ayes: (5). Noes: None. Absent: None.
11. From the Board of Trustees of Reclamation District No. 2087, signed by

$100,000. and ;96, 162.68, for Council approval,
This matter was referred to "Resolutions".
12. Prom Mr. Roland T. Heyn, 1085 Peach Street, pointing out the hazardous traffic
situation on Peach Street and outlining certain actions which could be taken to
rectify the condition.
President Kranelly referred the matter to the City Manager for reply to Mr. Heyn,
explaining that the condition will be looked into. Also, the City Manager will
refer the matter to the Police Department for its investigation and report - and
if proper action can be taken at once, to proceed accordingly.
Councilman Moresi pointed out there is the same situation in the west end, with fast
traffic from the Naval Air Station. She recommended Mr. Froerer have the Police
Department investigate the possibility of using traveling radar equipment to try to
control excessive speed in certain areas.
Councilman Hove suggested the Chief of Police contact the Police Chief of Hayward
as that Department has bought a used truck which cost about 800. and installed,
radar equipment thereon. It is working out very successfully and has paid for
itself from traffic fines.
It was ordered that a report on this matter be made to the City Manager.
131. From Dalton, Graupner & Barber, submitting an amendment to its proposal of
June 4, 1956, to read $3,000. for the fiscal year auditing services to the City.

audit procedures in connection with the collection of sales and use taxes, now that
it is definite the County of Alameda will be the collector of said taxes. The
original proposal was $3,600.
This letter was referred to "Reports of Committees" at which t ime a letter from the
City Manager on this subject is to be read.
ORAL COMMUNICATIONS:
14. Mr. Prank Gottstein addressed the Council with regard to the bids for the
wrecking and removal of the Vowinckle House at Woodstock Park and said he felt
the building should be renovated and put to use rather than destroyed. President
Kranelly pointed out the Council has made a very exhaustive study of the cost of
rehabilitating this building for use and it was found that it would be more
economical to tear it down and reconstruct proper facilities.
Mr. Gottstein also spoke about the lagoons in the proposed south shore development
and admonished the Council to be sure they would be "lagoons" and not just sloughs
or drainage ditches.
He also objected vociferously against smoking in the Council Chamber.
HEARINGS:
15. The matter was called up concerning the appeal filed by Mrs. Esther Tedrick,
619 Haight Avenue, from the ruling or the City Planning Board, denying a renewal
of her Use Permit to operate an insurance business in her home. President Kranelly
ascertained that Mrs. Tedrick was present.
The City Clerk read the letter of appeal from Mrs. Tedrick.
The City Attorney stated this appeal is taken under provisions of the Alameda Muni-
cipal Code, Section 11-178. He pointed out that copies of the minutes of the
Planning Board meeting of May 31, 1956, had been sent to the Councilmen and he
submitted as evidence a copy of the Minutes and a certified copy of the action
taken on this petition, which were identified as "Exhibit 1".
Mr. Annibale read excerpts from the minutes of the 'Planning Board meeting of
January 11, 1956, and that portion of the minutes of the Board meeting of May 31,
1956, pertaining to Mrs. Tedrick's Application. He also read the certified copy
of the action taken.
Mrs. Tedrick was then sworn in and gave the following testimony. She felt the
real reason for the Board's denial of her request is primarily because she is not
in a business district. She pointed out that one can have a rooming house, beauty
parlor, etcetera, but one cannot have an insurance office in a residence. All these
other types of operation certainly create many more problems than what she is doing.
When she started doing this work, it was on a very small scale. All business is
solicited outside of the office - most transactions are by telephone calls. Anyone
who comes in, comes after office hours - these people would stil1 come to the house
even if she did not have an office there. She said Mr. Thomason of the Planning
Board had voiced objection to her operating an insurance office in her home because
she was taking business away from those who have to pay high overhead costs for
their offices - but she stated that only about 1% of her business is Alameda business.
She wants to stay in her home because of its convenience to her as she puts in a lot
of night hours - whether or not she works downstairs in the basement where the office
is, or upstairs in her actual living quarters makes no difference. There is no sign
to indicate that a business office exists there. Any Alameda business she. has is
merely from personal friends. She displayed a Business Directory from which she had
taken the names of those listed as insurance offices and had driven by these several,
addresses and had rioted they were homes that looked exactly like hers - no one would
think there was an office there.
Councilman Hove inquired how many employees she had. Mrs. Tedrick replied she
employed two women who live close by and who work five hours each day.
Councilman Haag asked what type of insurance she handled and Mrs. Tedrick answered
she carries practically every kind,
Councilman Haag pointed out the Board had given no definite reason for denying the
request to maintain this office here.
Mr. Annibale then called upon Mr. Robert L. Williams, City Planning Director, to
be sworn by the Clerk - and in response to questions, he stated the dwelling in
question is situated in the "B" Two-to-Four Dwelling District. He stated a great
deal of the reason for the Board's action stemmed from its studies of the existing
conditions. The essential factor involved is that this insurance office is a
special privilege under a Use Permit - not specified as a "Home Occupation" under
the Zoning Ordinance. During the past two years, the Planning Board, in developing
zilb
..,
the Master Plan through surveys of land use, has determined thatthese home businesses
under Use Permits are more prevalent than desirable. The Board began to review these
rather closely and decided to take a firm position in establishing "cut-off dates - .--
possibly six months. He pointed out that Mrs. Tedrick's first renewal was granted on •
the basis of "hardship" in view of her husband's death at that time - then., a second
renewal was granted in January, 1956, for another six months, as a final action to
allow her to get established in a proper district. He felt an insurance office is ..•
not a legitimate home occupation. Under that interpretation, only the owner of the
•
I, house, plus one employee, would be permitted on the premises in connection with the
business. In discussing the proposed new Zoning Ordinance, the Board wants to hold
to a very firm policy concerning home occupations. He stressed the fact that the Use
Permit system, as applied to home occupations, has been abused. • ••
.„,
President Kranelly stated Mrs. Tedrick has indicated she is not selling any services
in her home. He inquired about an accountant who works in his home and expressed •
.„.
the opinion there is a great similarit y between tnese two occupations.
•
Councilman Hove pointed out that at 650 4aight Avenue there is a beauty parlor and
, at 711 Haight Avenue there is a dressmaking shop.
Councilman Haag asked how many boarders can be kept in Zone "B" and Mr. Williams
answered, "Up to five". Councilman Haag also inquired if the Board had all facts
in this matter and again, Mr. Williams replied that it did. Councilman Haag said
•
he knowsof many small businessmen who are doing similar work in their homes.
Councilman Hove stated he would like to have more information about, this situation -
and in view of the number of Use Permits issued throughout the City - he felt the
Council did not have enough information.
.„
President 1 ranolly said he thought the Board should clear up all such cases - it
was not fair to discriminate against one person. He suggested further study and
consideration be given this matter and, therefore, stated the nearing would be
held in abeyance until the net regular meeting, to be held July 6, 1956, while
the Council collects additional information and evidence it needs to arrive at a
sound decisioh. He pointed out it would assist the Council if it were given an
.•
answer as to why these other businesses in t he neighborhood are allowed to operate.
v
16. Continued from the last meeting was the matter of the Hearing of the declaration
of the dilapidated building known as 2316 Lincoln Avenue as a public nuisance. This
matter was again laid over, at the request of the attorney for the owner of the pre-
mises, and will come up for Hearing at the Council Meeting to be held July 17, 1956.

•
Sales and. Use Taxes by the State of California, with the resulting reduction in
verification of receipts, we have accordingly reduced the amount of our maximum fee
as compared with prior years". Hackleman's bid was $3,000., whereas the other two
were $3,500. .
Councilman Haag stated that, in the light of Mr. Hackleman's willingness to antici-
pate the County taking over the fl inction of collecting the sales and use taxes, and
•
thereby submitted the low bid, he believed Hackleman's firm is entitled to the
•
business. He thereupon moved the contract for auditing services for 1956-1957 be

passed on to the City if and when such became effective. The City Attorney had
ruled that a contract can be executed with an escalator clause included in this
instance.
Councilman Moresi asked, "If the escalator clause is included, would the City get
the benefit of any 'decrease' as well as having to accept an increase?"

Physical iducation, in which it is pointed up tnut to make a charge for the use of
a vehicle would, in my opinion, create more problems than the value received from
such revenue". The City Manager, therefore, recommended that no charge be made for
the use of small pedal vehicles used in the Tiny Tot Area at Krusi Park.
Councilman Haag moved the City Manager's recommendation be adopted and no charge be
made for the use of these vehicles. The motion was seconded by Councilman Hove and

UNFINISHED BUSINESS:
40. Councilman Moresi inquired about the present status of the Southern Pacific
rights-of-way situation. Mr. Proerer stated they are we)1 along the way to comple-
tion, but when the confusion occurred with regard to the rights-of-way - and the
exchange of properties for the new Tube became involved, either the work on Tilden
Way and Patton Way would go ahead or time would have to be taken to get the Tube
matter straightened out. He pointed out that last year the City did not use its
allocation of 07,500. for engineering services because engineers were not procur-
able, but this year the City can proceed and there will he q15,000. available as
the allocation is accumulative.
Councilman Moresi asked that the City Manager check on the Tube situation before the

fic and everything should be taken care of before the deadline, as all concerned are
working on it.
