ing that it be accepted and the Notice of Completion be ordered filed.
Councilman Jones moved the City Manager's recommendation be adopted; that the work
on this project be accepted and the Notice of Completion be filed. The motion was

1. From George R. Doran, Chief of Police submitting his report with regard to the
Delinquency Prevention Ordinance proposed by the District Attorney's Office. He
stated the present City Ordinance is more applicable to this community and is
sufficient for the control of juveniles in Alameda. He also pointed out that the
proposed ordinance makes the parents or guardians responsible if any youth is
on the public streets or in a public place between the hours of 10:00 o'clock
P. M. and sunrise - and he believes the parents cannot be held responsible in all
cases. He emphasized that if this were enforced and parents were arrested for the
actions of their children, it would breakdown a lot of the good public relations
the Police Department has established with the parents in obtaininr their
cooperation in handling juvenile problems.
Upon request, City Attorney Clark stated he agreed with the Chief in his analysis
of the local ordinance in comparison with that proposed by the County of Alameda.
He said the City does have the full cooperation of the parents of juveniles. He
remarked that, while there has been quite a widespread adoption of the proposed
ordinance around the County, the City of Berkeley has not seen fit to adopt it,
believing its local ordinance satisfactorily covers any situation which might
arise. He felt the Chief has the proper perspective on this matter and the
present Code regulations are adequate.
Councilman Jones stated that, on the basis of the report of the Chief of Police
and the thou-hts expressed by the City Attorney, he would move the Council not
take action to modify the local ordinance and further, that the report of the
Chief of Police be referredto the District Attorney. The motion was seconded by
Councilman Moresi and on roll call carried by the following vote. Ayes:
Councilmen Anderson, Jones, McCall, Moresi and President Sweeney, (5). Noes:
None, Absent: None.
13. From the City Manager, recommending that McGuire and Hester, Contractors,
be granted a thirty-day extension of time - until November 3, 1954 - in which to
complete their work onthe construction of two sewage pumping plants at Eighth
Street and Portola Avenue and Eighth Street and Taylor Avenue.

Approving Division of San Francisco Bay Toll Crossings
Plan of Acquisition of Right of Way for the Southern
Crossing and Setting Aside and Reserving Certain
Designated Lands Under Jurisdiction of City of Alameda
for Future Acquisition by State of California for
State ,fighway Purposes."
The motion to adopt said resolution was seconded by Councilman Jones and on roll

Moresi and President Sweeney, (5). Noes: None. Absent: None. There upon the
President declared said resolution duly adopted and passed.

Moresi and President Sweeney, (5). Noes: None. Absent: None. Thereupon the
President declared said resolution duly adopted and passed.
18. The following resolution was introduced by Councilman Jones, w:io moved its
adoption:
"Resolution No. 4989
Establishing Official Grade of Peach Street, Between
Washington Street and Calhoun Street, and Fixing
Standard for Future Improvement Thereof."
Mr. Ted Kaufman, 1083 Peach Street inquired what consideration the property owners
on this street can expect if it is graded and the land filled in next to them. He
pointed out the rear areas of their properties were flooded last year.
Mr. Froerer explained that the grade has been established on Post Street and the
drainage accumulates in these rear areas. He said that, in order to prevent this
flooding, it will be necessary to run a small storm sewer down the rear lot of these
properties which will connect with one at Calhoun and Post Street. He pointed out
that the City, as such, is not involved in this situation.
The City Engineer stated his Department has conferred with Mr. Paul Wood,
developer of certain property in this area, and he is filling his land in such a
way that it will drain entirely to Peach Street.
Mr. Jack Bell, 1014 Post Street and Mr.. James Cranston, 1006 Post Street, spoke
of the flooding condition in this vicinity and explained how their properties had
been filled.
Councilman Moresi asked what responsibility the City has, when there is property
being filled by some owners, to see that there is no possibility of having the
drainage accumulate on another's property.
The City Attorney explained that this is covered by the provision in the Alameda
Municipal Code in which it is stipulated that no property can be filled without
a permit having been obtained in order that the City can control this situation.
Councilman Moresi said it would seem that the ordinance covering regulations on
the filling of land should be investigated.
Councilman McCall felt some definite remedial action should be taken and moved
this matter be referred to the City Manager for investigation and the Engineer-
ing Department should consult with these people in this area and assist them in
solving this drainage problem. There was no second.
Councilman Jones asked if the establishment of this grade would affect this
situation and Mr. Froerer answered that any action on the establishing of a grade
for Peach Street would not aggravate or affect the drainage situation there at all.
He said he felt there is no financial obligation on the part of the City and
reiterated that a storm drain should be run down the rear lot lines of this block.
He said he felt Councilman Moresi/s suggestion that the "Fill" ordinance be re-
viewed and revised would be in order.
Councilman Anderson asked if permits had been taken out for the filling of these
lands and the City Engineer answered, "No". Councilman Anderson said it seemed to
him that, if a property owner can fill his land without the necessity of getting
a permit from the City, and thereby lets drainage flood his neighbor's property -
and as long as the City is in error in this respect - and until such time as the
City rectifies this error and the situation is provided for, the responsibility
of correctii-gthe condition is the City's. He felt the Council should Five considera-
tion to the rights of the property owners and the matter should be referred to the
City Attorney for his review of the legal aspects of the situation and the City's
moral obligation as well - and he so moved. The motion was seconded by Councilman
Moresi and on roll call carried by the following vote. Ayes: Councilmen
Anderson, Jones, McCall, Moresi and President Sweeney, (5). Noes: None. Absent;
None.
At this time, the motion to adopt this resolution was seconded by Councilman
Moresi and on roll call carried by the following vote. Ayes: Councilmen
Anderson, Jones, McCall, Moresi and President Sweeney, (5). Noes: None. Absent:
None. Thereupon the President declared said resolution duly adopted and passed.

adoption:

Establishing Official Grade of Madison Street,
Between Market Street and Leandro Street, and
Fixing Standards for Future Improvement Thereof."

call carried by the following vote. Ayes: Councilmen Anderson, Jones, McCall,
Moresi and President Sweeney, (5). Noes: None. Absent: None. Thereupon the

21. "Resolution No. 4992
Protesting the Location of the Proposed Expansion
of Metropolitan Oakland International Airport and
Requesting the Port of Oakland to Reconsider tbe
Planning and Location of That Project in the Light
of the Public Interest."
At this point, President Sweeney stated the City Officials had met yesterday with
the Port of Oakland representatives and many other interested parties to discuss
this subject. He introduced Mr. Charles Travers of the Utah Construction Company
and said he would like to ask him certain questions: (1) At yesterday's meeting
you outlined your Company's position regarding its plans to start work on Bay
Farm Island - you agreed to get your Yanagement's position on one specific
question - Can you assure this Council that Utah Construction Company will not
make any settlement with the Port of Oakland under threat of condemnation.
Mr. Travers stated his Company has given the City assurance of its desire and
willingness to 7o ahead with this project on Bay Farm Island. He said that, so
long as the City Council would take the attitude and position that it is in the
best public interest and the best interests of Alameda for this project to go
forward, then Utah will not make any settlement in connection with this condemna-
tion suit instigated by the Port of Oakland. He said he would add this - if his
Company obtains or nets an offer from the Port of Oakland then the Company will
promptly and forthwith come before the Council and submit and refer that offer to
it for discussion. If, at that time, you then tell us that you, as a City Council,
still consider it is in the broad public interest and that the City of Alameda for
Utah Construction Company to proceed with its development on Bay Farm Island, the
Company will continue to resist the Port. He said it is only fair that the Company
would appreciate it if, in consideration of its approach and attitude, the City
•Council would also take a very vigorous and forthright stand in support of the
Company's action so long as it is felt to be in the public interest.
President Sweeney said that yesterday Mr. Travers had referred to an Airport
Consultant preparing a report for Utah Construction Company and asked Mr. Travers
if he could tell the Council something more about this particular report. Fr.
Travers said that his Company has made a study of the Oakland Metropolitan
International Airport plans and also had obtained the services of an outside
consultant for technical advice. He stated the report of this consultant will b e
in the Company's hands probably by the end of this week - but to play it safe, he
would say by next week - and as soon as this report is received by his Company it
will be promptly delivered to the Council. He pointed on that it is his Comnany's
hope and belief that this report wili furnish a basis for chanring or modifying
the present Airport plans - which will permit the Airport to have its expansion
and also to permit the Company's proposed 150,000,000. development on Bay Farm
Island, which all would like to see take place.
President Sweeney asked Mr. Travers what facts he could give the Council to show
that his Company is ready right now to proceed with its development of Bay Farm
Island. Mr. Travers replied that this required a long answer to make it complete -
but it would seem to him that in any matter of this sort there are two considera-
tions, (1) What is the Company's investment to date and (2) what has the Company
done in the way of studies, technical accomplishments and analyses of approach to
assure the Council that the Company is sufficiently far advanced to support its
statement that it can go forward. So far as what the Company has in this project
is concerned, he said several hundred thousand dollars of its own money has already
been invested in t he Bay Farm Island development. He set forth in detail the
many technical studies made in preparation for the undertaking of such a project -
emphasizing the great expense involved in obtaining these reports - and, in
addition, the Company has made complete financial analyses of the cost estimates
which prove it is feasible to proceedwith the Bay Farm Island Development. He
also pointed out that all work has been in conformance with the City of Alameda
Master Plan for Bay Farm Island. He said he felt it is a fair statement that his
Company is fully prepared to go ahead with this development if it has the
opportunity to do so - the Company hopes to do a job here which will be a con-
tribution to the Bay area.
President Sweeney asked if the Company had any notice that this land was to be
condemned by the Port of Oakland. Mr. Travers answered, "No, it did not". He
said the Company had gone ahead with its planning studies until about June 14, at
which time he had been invited to attend a meeting of the Port of Oakland and he
had been informed at that time the Port would like to obtain this land - and
advised the Company that the Port would obtain it by condemnation.
Councilman Jones stated the Port Authorities had been put on notice some time ago
concerning its conflict with the City's Master Plan of Bay Farm Island.
Mr. Travers stated that, in the course of making studies to ascertain if this area
were eligible for F. H. A. insurance - and in order to make a presentation of the
matter to F. H. A., the Company made a complete survey and study of the Bay Farm
project - containing the relationship of the facilities of this area to the
Airport. In considering the properties of the Master Plan expansion and the long-
range plans of the Oakland Airport, he was given the then existing plans -
those plans were incorporated in the Company's submission to F. H. A. Those
plans were forwarded to the local Regional Office and, after field study, to the
Washington Office of F. H. A. After a considerable period of time the Company
was told that its property would be considered in an area that was eligible as
far as the F. H. A. was concerned, There was a small area eliminated due to
its proximity to the Airport.
Councilman Anderson asked, "If there were no obstacles in your way at the
present time, what length of time from now would elapse until Utah Construc-
tion Company was ready to make its definite commitment as to when it would start?"
Mr. Travers replied, "I would say approximately 120 days - within that time the
Utah Construction Company would give evidence to move forward with the Job."
Councilman Moresi stated that, in the interest of bringing out complete informa-
tion as to what this Airport means to the City of Alameda - and with the definite
understanding that the Council is not in opposition tothe Airport Expansion, but
in the interest of developing the tax base rate for the City, she would move the
adoption of this resolution. The motion to adopt said resolution was seconded
by Councilman Anderson.
Councilman Jones stated he was not in agreement with the reasons given for
making this protest. He said the Council does favor the expansion of the
Airport - and also, the development of Bay Farm Island hy the Utah Construction
Company. He remarked that what he is primarily interested in is to hear the
testimony of the experts. He felt the Council will be duty bound to fight the
Port Of Oakland to the last ditch in its effort to take land of Alameda by
Condemnation. He said however, this resolution is precisely the one that was
discussed at the meeting yesterday and does not give consideration to the fact
that several of the questions the Council had in mind have now been answered.
The question was called for an the motion carried by the following roll call vote.
Ayes: Councilmen Anderson, Jones, McCall, Moresi and President Sweeney, (5) •
Noes: None. Absent: None.
Councilman Jones explained that his purpose in voting "Aye" is to bring out the
full report at the Hearing - but he does not feel the resolution in its present
form is the way the proceedings should be instituted.
City Attorney Clark stated the adoption of this resolution by the Council is an
indication of its willingness to oppose the Port of Oakland. He pointed out the
interests of the City and those of Utah Construction Company bear very closely
upon each other in this matter. If this is the Council's purpose and intent, he
stated he should like, at this time, to be authorized to take such steps as
may be deemed necessary and proper.
Councilman Jones moved the City Attorney be authorized to proceed. The motion
was seconded by Councilman Moresi and on roll call carried by the following vote.
Ayes: Councilmen Anderson, Jones, McCall, Moresi and President Sweeney, (5).
Noes: None, Absent: None.
Councilman Anderson summarized the situation as follows: The Utah Construc-
tion Company proposes to spend 850,000,000. to develop homes on Bay Farm Island,
which he felt certainly would be an asset. On the statement of Mr. Travers of
Utah Construction Company, the Port of Oakland on June 11j, of this year, made
known its present plans for the expansion of the air strip which would necessitate
the taking of half of the Company's property. Prior to that time, the Port had
other plans. The Port's project amounts to 811,500,000. - and to have this
development, why should the City be called upon to sacrifice this huge amount
from the tax base. He felt the Council's action this evening will assure a hearing
where all phases of this matter may be presented and the City can find out by
arbitration if it might not be able to bring both of these projects into being.
He thought the Council had acted to protect the people of Alameda.
At this time Mr. Travers stated he wanted the record to show that there had been
a meeting somtime in May, at which City Manager Froerer, himself and other
officials had been present at the Port of Oakland for the purpose of the Port
acquainting all concerned that it would have a new plan for its expansion. The
June la meeting referred to was the meeting at which ne personally WEIS told
that the Port wanted to obtain the CompanY's land. He said he wanted to make it
clear that the Company is not fighting the expansion of the airport.
