It was pointed out this obligation rested entirely with the State since this bridge was part of , State Highway System No. 226, and there had been numerous requests to both the State and the County to have the bridge lighted - but to no avail. It was felt there was need for lights on the bridge, especially in view of the prospect of more traffic to and from the Metropolitan Oakland International Airport. Following further discussion of the circumstances, Councilman McCall moved the matter be referred to Mr. Abraham Kofman, member of the State Highway Commission, for consideration at the next regular meeting of said Commission. The motion was seconded by Councilman Rose and carried on the following roll call vote. Ayes: Five. Noes: None. Absent: None. 8. From East Shore Home Owners' Association, signed by Dr. Hubert Reiss, President, concerning the extension of Fernside Boulevard and requesting information about the City's actual plan for said project.

The letter was referred to the matter listed under "Unfinished Business". 10/ From Mr, Roger Langford, President-elect, Associated Students of Alameda County State College, with reference to the proposed name change of said College by the Board of Trustees of California State College System to "California State College at Hayward" - and requesting permission to address the Council on the subject. The President stated he had granted Mr. Langford permission to speak on this matter during "Oral Communications", 98 ORAL COMMUNICATIONS: ll. Mr. Charles Scott, 21347 Hathaway Avenue, Hayward, retiring President of the Associated Students of Alameda County State College, stated Mr. Langford was not present at this time. He explained there had been a movement to change the name of the College to "California State College at Hayward" - to which the students, faculty, alumni and the College Advisory Board were opposed. Mr. Scott stated the Cities of San Leandro, Livermore and Pleasanton had adopted resolutions in support of their opposition. He said it was felt the College served an area. far beyond the confines of the City of Hayward and for this reason it did not wish to lose its regional identity. Therefore, he was soliciting the support of the City of Alameda in opposing the proposed name change. President Godfrey noted that Mr. Langford, President-elect of the Associated Students of Alameda County State College, 2520-B Santa Clara Avenue, Alameda, had arrived at the meeting during this presentation and then introduced him. After some further discussion, Councilman McCall moved that a resolution be prepared in support of the opposition of the College to any change of its present name. The motion was seconded by Co4n- cilmun La Croix and on roll call carried by the following vote. Ayes: Five. Noes: None. Absent: None. The matter was then referred to uReoolutiona'v - and Mr. L4n&tord stated he would call at the Clerk's office the next afternoon to pick up the document. V 12. Mr. Thomas Holler, Program Director of the East Bay Chapter, National Safety Council, presented for distribution copies of a "Traffic Accident Summary for the City of Alameda, 1902'. He briefly reviewed the statistics contained therein under the several categories in comparison with the pre- vious year. Mr. Holler offered the services of his organization to interested groups and organiza- tions in promoting safe traffic measures. 13. Mr. G. N. Pope, 1828 Bay Street, commented on several matters, particularly the Workable Pro- gram, which was to be discussed later in the meeting. He also indicated his objection to any pro- posed salary increases for City employees. 14. Mr. Frank A. Gottstein, 731 Haight Avenue, voiced his opinion that more police officers were needed to cope with the "hoodlum" element which had been coming into the City. He also felt the City was trying to establish too many restrictions in the use of the beach. Mr. Gottstein stated that, instead of prohibiting parking on Shore Line Drive which was an inconvenience to many people, the City should install parking meters which would then minimize the parking along this area and, further, give the City.anme revenue therefrom. HEARINGS: 15. v The matter was called up concerning the proposed amendments to Article 4-C, Sec. 11-14C2 of the Alameda Municipal Code (Zoning Ordinance) relating to the requirement of Accessory Parking Spaces. The Clerk stated there was on file the Affidavit of Publication of the Notice of Hearing in this matter. Also, copies of the minutes of the Planning Board meeting at which this subject had been considered had been sent to the Councilmen for their information - and the Board had recommended approval of the proposed amendmenca. Upon request, Mr. Schoenfeld, Planning Director, related the circumstances involved in the existing ordinance provisions which made it difficult for small businesses to make alterations or change types of business which might require more off-street parking epacea. The amendment would afford relief to these cases and at the same time, give protection to other established businesses from being inundated by some large new business which in all propriety should furnish its own off-street parking. The Acting City Attorney, Mr. Way, was then called upon and he stated the sole legal issue was simply whether or not the general welfare of the community necessitated the amendments as proposed. He remarked that Mr. Schoenfeld had very ably outlined the effect of the ordinance for introduc- tion and he felt it needed no further elaboration. The President then called for the proponents of the question and there was no response. Upon inquiry as to any opponents who desired to speak against the issue, there was also no response. Therefore, the. President declared the Hearing closed. Councilman McCall moved the recommendation of the City Planning Board be approved and the proposed amendments be adopted. The motion was seconded by Councilman Freeman and carried on the following roll call vote. Ayes: Five. Noes: . None. Absent: None. The matter was then referred to "Intro- duction of Ordinances".

From City Planning Board, signed by the Secretary, recommending approval of Tentative Map for Tract No. 2500, a condominium-type subdivision of Tract No. 2334, subject to certain stipulations in the City Engineer's Report dated May 24, 1962. Councilman Freeman-raised two questions for clarification - (1) concerning the apparent lack of a carport for one of the apartments, since there were thirty-two units with only thirty-one carports shown on the Tentative Map and (2) with reference to the City Engineer's Report, Sec. 11-3113(e) "A driveway serving these various apartment units may be considered as a service road and the Plan- ning Board may wish to specify certain requirements in terms of clearance". Mr. Schoenfeld explained that the architectural drawing showed there would be thirty-two carports but one of them was inadvertently omitted from the Tentative Map. This error had been called to the attention of the party concerned and he had agreed to make the necessary correction. With regard to the driveway clearance, Mr. Schoenfeld commented this was due to a possible overhang of the upper story in some places and, because of a previous experience in this respect, it was felt there should be agreement on the maintenance of a minimum vertical clearance to allow fire equipment to get into this area to protect the property. Following some further discussion of this point, Councilman Freeman moved that the Council' approve the Tentative Map for Tract No. 2500 subject to certain stipulations contained in the City Engi- neer's Report, dated May 24, 1902, and with the further understanding that there would be thirty- two carports for this condominium and under Sec. 11-3113(e) of said Report, there would be a vertical clearance of nine feet. The motion was seconded by Councilman McCall and carried on the following ro ll ca ll vote. Ayes: Five. Noes: None. Absent: None. 25. From City8onagar, recommending contract be awarded to Signal Oil Company, lowest and best bidder, for furnishing Premium and Non-Premium Gasoline during fiscal year 1963-64. Councilman La Croix moved the recommendation be adopted; that contract be awarded to the designated company for furnishing said gasoline. The motion was seconded by Councilman Rose and on roll call carried by the following vote. Ayes: Five. Noes: 0one, Absent: None. 26. From City Muna&er, transmitting copy of survey made by the Civil Service Board concerning salaries of City employees and also, recommending certain' percentage increases for various Depart- ment Heads. 1 ���� �� �� 27� From City Manager, submitting the Recommended Budget for the City of Alameda for fiscal year l96]T04. The President stated it was felt that there would not be time to have a complete review and discus- sion of .the salary and budget items at this meeting and suggested the Council adjourn to an . adjourned regular meeting on Tuesday evening, June 11, 1963, at 8:30 o'clock, for this purpose. It was so agreed. Mr. Weller asked that if any Councilman had any particular question or matter he would like to have brought up in connection with the budget, to let him know as soon as possible in order that such information would be available. "/ . 28. From Mr. Donald A. Way, Assistant City Attorney, tendering his resignation from this position of the City of Alameda, effective July 15, 1963. The President stated the Council was reluctant to uccepc,thia resignation but was very happy for Mr. Way's very fine opportunity in his new position. Councilman McCall pointed out that if it were not for the restriction in the present City Charter, the City would be able to retain this fine young attorney. He said he felt the City of Salinas would be very happy with Mr. Way and he expected he would go a long way as he had every Ualificm- tioo to make an excellent City Attorney. Councilman McCall then moved the resignation of Way be accepted with regret. The motion was seconded by Councilman Rose and carried on the following roll call vote. Ayes: Five. Noes: None. Absent: None. It was suggested and agreed that a resolution in commendation and appreciation would be prepared for the next meeting of the City Council. 29. From City Planning Board, signed by the Secretary, in commendation of the Alameda Garden Club for its program of City beautification and indicating its support of sound proposals to elevate the aesthetic character of the community. The ,communication was referred to the City Manager for his consideration in conjunction with the i let�ar and suggestions submitted by the Garden Club as acted on earlier in the meeting. 30. From City Manager, reporting all work satisfactorily completed on the project of Installing Storm Water Culverts and Curb Realignment at Otis Drive and Park Avenue - recommending it be accepted and the Notice of Completion be ordered filed. Councilman La Croix moved the recommendation be approved; that the work of the specified project be accepted and the Notice of Completion be filed. The motion was seconded by Councilman Freeman and unanimously carried. INTRODUCTION OF ORDINANCES: 21. Councilman La Croix introduced the following ordinance, after which it was laid over under provision of law and the Charter: "Ordinance No. New Series An Ordinance Amending the Alameda Municipal Code by Amending Article 4C, Section 1I-14C2 Thereof, and by Adding a Subsection (d) Thereto, Relating to Accessory Parking Spaces Required in All Districts." UNFINISHED BUSINESS: 32. Laid over from the last two Council meetings was the matter of the request from the Redevelop- ment Agency for the Council to take necessary actions which would lead to an effective re-certifi- cation of the Workable Program for Community Improvement. Mr. Weller explained that this was not the adoption of the Workable Program - it was simply the approval of the Progress Report in connection with the Workable Program which was adopted some fifteen or sixteen months ago. He said he would like to point out, on behalf of the Redevelopment Agency, that this matter had not been raised by the Agency, itself. It had simply ratified the Progress Report. He commented that most of what had been done since the original adoption of the Workable Program had been to review the existing Codes and to adopt a later edition of one of these Codes. There had been some additional work on the Uniform Building Code, although this had not yet come before the Council for adoption. There had been considerable effort expended by the Planning Department in its report on the Neighborhood Analysis, based very largely on the 1960 Federal Census data. He said he thought, in general, the progress which had been made in conformity with the representations made in the original Workable Program were satisfactory, both to the City and to the. Federal Government. In response to Councilman Freeman's question concerning the Workable Program, Mr. Weller emphasized that this was completely different. The original action of the Council was to adopt "a Workable Program" and this document now under discussion was simply "A Review of Progress Under the Workable Program for Community Improvement" - so this was not a Workable Program, as such. With respect to the date, a Progress Report was expected to be made each year after adoption of the Workable Program and it was his understanding that said Program was re-certified as of the date of the acceptance of the Review of Progress by the Federal Qovernment. Mr. Weller stated that the actual date for re- certification was December 1, 1962, but since the Review of Progress had not been submitted or approved as yet, the assumption was that the re-certification date would actually be some time in June or, perhaps, in mid-July. Therefore, the subsequent Progress Report would not be due until twelve months following that date. Councilman Freeman asked many questions concerning the status of various projects and procedures required under the Workable Program, to which Mr. Weller responded in clarification. Mr. Weller also remarked that he considered both the Workable Program and the Review of Progress to be flexible in the sense that, as indicated earlier in the meeting by Mr. Way, the City was not committed to complete any part of the program as laid out by any particular time, but was simply expressing its intent of the matters under consideration. This was the reason for the annual review - to ascertain how close the City had come to what it had anticipated being able to do twelve months before - and obviously there would be changes. The matter was then referred to "Resolutions". 3 . Laid over from the last Council meeting was the matter of the proposed closing of the Alameda Clinic for outpatient services, as presented in a letter dated May 17, 1963, from The Honorable Leland A. Sweeney, Supervisor, Third District. In connection therewith, letters of protest against closing said facility had been received from the following ; Mro. V. Smith, 2110 Encinal Avenue, and Mr. and Mrs, Lee Grayson, 345-A Mosley Avenue. The President stated the Councilmen, individually, had received letters of protest against such pro- posed action. He said this Clinic was certainly a County responsibility and it was the County's obligation to make the necessary clarification and adequate studies of what was involved from the standpoint of the people served. The City Council did not have such information and he felt it might be suggested to the Alameda County Board of Supervisors that the Alameda Clinic remain open pending its more explicit study. Councilman La Croix stated it was understood that the funds for maintaining the Alameda Clinic were in the County Budget for fiscal year 1962-64. Therefore, he moved that a letter be directed to the County Board of Supervisors indicating that the City Council was desirous of having the Alameda Clinic remain in operation pending a more explicit survey by the County and that the Council of the City of Alameda would look forward to receiving a report on the matter upon completion of said review. The motion was seconded by Councilman Freeman and carried on the following roll call vote. Ayes: Five. Noes: None. Absent: None. Mr. Weller pointed out that many of the telephone calls and letters in protest against the proposed closing of the Clinic had been due to a general misunderstanding that the facility concerned was the "First Aid Station". He emphasized that this contemplated action did not in any way involve the Alameda First Aid Station. 34. A report from the Recreation Commission with regard to rules and regulations to be established for the proper use of the beach area was then presented in the form of a letter, dated June 4, 1963, and signed by Mr. Alvin Blanchard, Chairman, This was in accordance with the request of the Council at its last meeting, The President explained that the Recreation Commission had not been able to hold a special meeting until just the previous evening and, therefore, the Councilmen had received their copies of the communication only this afternoon. He suggested the matter be laid over to the adjourned regular meeting of the Council to be held June 11, in order that the Councilmen might have an opportunity to review the itemized recommendations submitted. There being no objections, it was so ordered. v^ 35, Councilman Freeman referred to the Tentative Plan of the State for its beach area. She said she thought one had been issued in December, 1962, and she would like to have a copy thereof. Councilman Freeman also felt it would be wise for the proper officials of the City, the State and Utah Construction & Mining Co. to determine upon the alignment of the entry to the South Shore at the west end,and the land use in connection therewith. 8r. Weller explained that the City Engineer, the Planning Director and "Utah" were presently working on the question of the physical connection at the northwest corner of Unit II - or the northeast corner of the Washington Park extension. He said it was not yet known ezacdy where the route would tie into Portola Drive, but it would be somewhere between Burbank and Eighth Streets. He added that the matter had been under study and active discussion for the past several months. With regard to Councilman Freeman's request for a copy of the State Plans for the beach, Mr. Weller stated the only ones at present were the "Staff Plans" which had not been cleared or had the formal approval of the State Park Commission or even of the Beaches and Parks Staff. Be pointed out he had been in contact with the State on this question because he wanted to be absolutely certain that the City's desires were known before any plan was frozen. Following further clarification of the matter by the City Manager, Councilman Freeman felt some steps should be taken to expedite the receipt of some plans from those concerned. Mr. Weller reiter- ated that both the City and the Chamber of Commerce had been pressing the State Staff but he would again contact the proper parties and tell them the Council had urged that some plans be submitted. With reference again to the access route to the South Shore, Councilman Freeman inquired if the City had any alternate plans prepared for said approach since it would be involved with both the State and "Utah" in determining the best use of the lands in this particular area. Mr. Weller out- lined possible routes and land uses and commenced that the State would be directly concerned only under certain circumstances but, certainly, the State's interests would have to be considered. He stated all of these factors were.purc of the study now in progress. It was agreed the City Manager would again contact the State with regard to its current plans for the beach and he would ask the City Engineer and the Planning Department to have some plans ready by June 30, concerning the access route to the South Shore and then the matter could be further dis- cussed with the developer. 36. Councilman Freeman then referred to a newspaper article in which it was stated that Unit IV of the South Shore project was for sale. She said she felt it was in order now to request from Reclamation District No. 2087 the date of the completion of its retention device of this area as shown on its map. Mr. Weller stated he thought it would certainly be appropriate at such time as the subdivision map was filed, as a condition to the acceptance of it, that the question should be resolved as to whether or not the retention device was within the boundaries of the subdivision, itaelf. Also, the Council should consider the question of whether or not the form of retention presently in force was the one which the City wanted. A lengthy discussion was had on this subject - covering the legal and engineering technicalities involved in the Fill Agreement with Utah Construction & Mining Co., the perimeter road and the type of retention device which would he in the City's best interests - as developed by the City Manager, the City Attorney and the City Engineer. Considerable discussion also ensued on the question of responsibility in,thie matter - the Reclama- Discricc or Utah Construction & Mining Co. Mr. Way maintained that the Fill Agreement was between the City and "Utah". Councilman Freeman stated her objective was to expedite action in this matter and, therefore, she moved that a letter be written to Utah Construction & Mining Co. asking it for its commencement and completion dates on the perimeter road and the retention device to be constructed in the area commonly known as Unit IV. There was no second and the motion died for lack thereof. NEW BUSINESS: NJ' 37. Councilman McCall referred to the State Beach-Park in the West End and remarked that there was a State Ranger on duty there. He felt this area could be utilized for picnics and day camps and suggested the City Recreation Department ought to be able to have the use of this area under a work- ing agreement with the State Division of Beaches and Parks. Councilman McCall asked that the City Manager check on this proposal, through his relationship with the State officials, to ascertain if possibly this beach-park might be utilized by the City. Councilman La Croix commented that the Recreation Department had used these facilities for nature studies as part of its program. The President then asked the City Clerk to write to the Recreation Commission, requesting it to ascertain what facilities were available in the State Beach-Park for public use by the people of the community, and to report back to the Council on its findings. 28. The President stated that last week the Chamber of Commerce of the United States presented to the Alameda Chamber of Commerce a Fire Safety Award, certifying that the City of Alameda had won National Recognition for Distinguished Service in Fire Pravootion, This Award had been presented to him, and rather than turn it over to the Alameda Fire Department at that time, President Godfrey stated he thought it would be proper to speak of it before the Coun- cil in order that the Fire Department would receive public recognition. He referred to the many Honorable Mention Certificates and other Awards which the Alameda Fire Department had received during the past several years. He noted that the City had always had reason to be very proud of its Fire Department and he asked that the City Clerk transmit the Award to the Fire Chief with the Council's appreciation of his Department's service. 39. Councilman Freeman requested that the City Engineer give her ,a report on the best retention device possible to contain Unit IV, and to furnish the Council with copies thereof. Mr. Hanna indi- cated that he could do this. RESOLUTIONS: 40. The following resolution was introduced by Councilman McCall, who moved its adoption: "Resolution No. 6476 Resolution of the Council of the City of Alameda Approving a Progress Report Under the Workable Program for Community Improvement."

At this time, President Godfrey stated he would like to close this meeting with a moment of silence in tribute to Pope John XXIII, whose death had occurred Monday, June 3, 1963. He eulogized His Holiness as a great humanitarian who would be missed by Christians and Jews alike throughout the world. 51.
