Mr. Kofman related the Board had been created over three years ago with a minimum of staff and lay members and had been dramatically expanded because of the commitment given by local elected officials to provide meaningful planning and improvement to the Criminal Justice system.

' From the Alameda Chamber of Commerce, On-Site Signing Committee, submitting a "Proposed Street Graphic Control Ordinance". The President recognized Mr. Brit Johnson, President of the Chamber of Commerce, and commended the Committee for their proposal, which was referred to the City Planning Board for study. Councilman Hurwitz requested that an ordinance on the matter be forthcoming to the Council in the near future for consideration. HEARINGS: 10. In the mutter of Consideration of an ordinance establishing a Real Property Conveyance Tax. On request, the Acting City Attorney explained consideration of this ordinance did not require a Public Hearing to be held, however this was being done at the iniative of the Council for a collection of evidence to assist them in reaching their decision. The City Manager reported the proposed tax had been discussed previously and had been referred to the Council by the Planning Board following their meeting of March 4, 1974; that in connection With the Capital Improvement Program report of September 6, 1974, it had been suggested as a source of additional revenue. He stated it appeared to be a tax within the authority of the City to levy, would be relatively easy to administer as collection would be made through the County Recorder's Office and their representatives had made a verbal agreement to receive the payments. Mr. Goss estimated the tax would produce approximately $200,000 net to the City per year and he considered it more equitable than a general property tax increase or sewer service charge. He cited, as an example, that a home selling for $30,000 would bear a tax increase from the current $33 to $132, and this would be collected only at the time cf sale. The President declared the hearing opened and asked that opponents and proponents of the proposed tax address the Council. Mr. James P. McClure, President of the Alameda Board of Realtors, requested the heariny be postponed for at least two weeks as he had understood, from previous discussion on the proposal, the matter would come up at this meeting only for a hearing date to be set. He expressed his opposition to the matter being heard at this time. Pr2Sident La Croix stated it had been his intent to set the date of hearing at this meeting, however this had not been the desire of the Council who had set the hearing for this time. He noted publicity had been given on the matter by the Alameda Times-Star. Councilman Corica said it had been on his motion the ordinance had been prepared for consideration and introduction and it had been his original intention to hold the hearing at this meeting. Councilman Hurwitz said he had thought the ordinance would be introduced at this meeting and a hearing date set, however he was now of the opinion the Council should proceed with the mutter. The City Manager reported, for the information of the Council, that all persons who had expressed an interest in the matter had been mailed a copy of the agenda for this meeting a week prior and should have been on notice that the hearing would be held. Mr. McClure stated in his opinion this would be an inequitable tax and alleged it would in reality be a property and not based On ability to pay. He expressed his willingness to support some alternative - method or bond issue to raise the needed revenue to finance the Capital Improvement Program. He questioned where the money would ccme from in the future to pay for the maintenance of improvements if not from the property tax. Mr. McClure presented petitions signed by 1,428 persons opposing enactment of a Transfer Tax, Dwelling Unit Tax, or Land Dedication Tax. Mr. John Mitcheom, 1319 High Street, stated his firm dealt with a number of property managements for elderly citizens. He said he, too, had understood the hearing date on this matter would be set at this meeting and had had inadequate time to prepare a presentation on the subject. He urged the Council to put the hearing over for at least thirty days so alternative methods of obtaining funds might be explored. Mr. Brit Johnson, 850 Portola Drive, representing the Chamber of Commerce, said they recognized the Capital Improvement Plan was a desirable goal, however felt the method by which moneys were to be raised for payment of the improvements needed further exploration. He reported the Chamber was of the opinion it would be more equitable to find ways of raising taxes from a larger portion Of the tax-paying citizens than by selecting just one particular group, namely the new home owner. Mr. John Burn1, Sr. , stated he wished to go on record in opposition to the proposed tax as he did not believe it was equitable nor would it be based on a person's ability to pay. He asked the Council to reconsider the propcsal and urged a pOstp00ment of the hearing for a period of two weeks, Mrs. Myrna Hunt, 2827 Fernside Boulevard, commented on the decrease in home sales at the present time, primarily due to high interest rates and th( difficulty in obtaining financing. She said it was her opinion the tax would not produce the revenue estimated by the City Manager. Mrs. Lola Bennett, 325 Laguna Vista, asked the Council to postpone the hearing on the matter or reduce the amount of the tax. Mr. Joseph P. Sullivan spoke in favor of adoption of the ordinance. The hearing was declared closed. President La Croix said he fully recognized the problems being experienced by the real estate industry at this time, however a number of vital capital improvements had been delayed for many years because of the lack of funding. He stated it was imperative the residents of the community be provided with needed services, such as parks and proper library facilities, among other things, and he felt this tax would be the most equitable way to finance them. He remarked that over the years he had found bond issues had not found favor with the electorate and he would not recommend this procedure. He said he would not like to see a postponement of the matter as it had been hnOwn for some months, both by the Chamber and those in the real estate business area, that such a tax proposal was under consideration. Councilman Hurwitz stated he would have no objection to the requested delay, however, as expressed by the President, felt the business community and the Chamber had been aware of the contemplated proposal for at least six months, as evidenced by communications received by the Council and articles appearing in the newspaper. He noted no alternative source of funding had been suggested or recommended. He said he felt it would be a more equitable form of taxation than an increase i� property taxes which would affect the elderly and those on fixed incomes year after year. Councilman Beckam said he concurred with Councilman Hurwitz' remarks concerning the proposed tax, however, in view of the requests received for a postponement of the heoriny, he felt the matter should be held over if that was the general opinion of the Council. Councilman Corica also concurred with Councilman Hurwitz' statement, however he remarked that surrounding cities were already implementing a similar tax and he could not see where much would be gained by a delay. He suggested the ordinance be taken out of order for introduction. There being no objection, the meeting proceeded to "Introduction of Ordinances".

He said he had noticed someone had constructed a fence approximately one-third mile long and about thirty feet from the edge of the embankment, and a security shack had been placed about twenty feet northerly of the old chainlink fence. He suggested a sign be erected informing the public of their right to use the area for recreational purposes and a gateway or opening be made in the fence at designated places for public access. The City Engineer and City Manager were requested to look into the matter. Councilman Hurwitz stated he had understood the proposed breakwater had been required by B.C.D.C. but was prohibited by the Corps of Engineers.

However, he said, they had later withdrawn their request. Mr. Goss remarked that there had been some question of the suitability of the design of the breakwater. He said it had been suggested, at a recent meeting held by himself and the City Engineer with representatives of the Townhouse Association and Pan-Pacific, that they should get together in an attempt to resolve the engineering question and the assuming of the maintenance of the breakwater extension.
