McCarthy, giving notification that said observance will be held in Richmond on Septem- ber 9, 1960, and requesting City of Alameda to appropriate $100. toward defraying expenses. There being no objections, this matter was referred to Alameda Chamber of Commerce. 3. From Mr. T. A. Harms, 1335 Grove Street, owner of lot at the southeast corner of Park Street and San Jose Avenue, leased to Jack's Market - requesting said property be rezoned from "R -5" (General Apartment) District to a Commercial District, as formerly classified. After some discussion, it was agreed this request should properly be made to the City Planning Board and the communication, therefore, was referred to the Board for its consideration. It was so ordered. 4. From Mrs. V. Smith, 2116 Encinal Avenue, concerning salary raises. .5Y From Mr. A. H. Ainslow, 2840 Johnson Avenue, concerning salary increases. These two letters were referred to the budget file. 6. From Mr. Leo J. Gunston, 1077 Park Avenue, reviewing the procedure concerning the rezoning of an area in which his property is located at 422 Taylor Avenue and request- ing the Council to immediately set the date for a public hearing. Mr. Annibale pointed out this matter has already been referred back to the Planning Board and suggested this letter be referred thereto and a report will subsequently come to the Council. There being no objections, it was so ordered. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS: 7. Mr. G. N. Pope, 1820 Bay Street, expressed his opinions on several matters - the acquisition by the City of 7.34 acres of the "Maritime" property, the sale of Washing- ton Park Fill to the State, the Alameda County Budget with its five per cent salary increases and the exorbitant "welfare" costs and the proposed salary raises for City employees. 8. Mr. Lewis Groper, 1503 Webster Street, referred to the item on the agenda, listed under "Reports of Officers, Boards, Etcetera ", with regard to the recommendation from the Planning Board to rezone certain property bounded by Eighth Street and Patton Way and Pacific and Buena Vista Avenues for a commercial development. He spoke in opposi- tion to "spot zoning" this property as it is surrounded by a residential area. He felt such business should be kept in the established business districts. 9:/ Mr. Frank Gottstein, 731 Haight Avenue, said he disagreed with Mr. Groper because the expanded commercial development would relieve the parking congestion at the corner of Lincoln Avenue and Webster Street. 10: Mr. Harold Hochstadt, ?36 Buena Vista Avenue, stated he owns property adjacent to that proposed to be rezoned and he and his neighbors are in favor of this recommended reclassification. He pointed out this section of Buena Vista Avenue is already zoned in a Commercial District up to his property line. Mr. Hochstadt felt this business development would be to the benefit of Alameda. 11. Mrs. D. A. Sargent asked permission to speak at the time thematter of the "vaccina- tion of dogs" came up under "Ordinances for Passage ". President McCall assured her she would be given that opportunity. HEARINGS: 12. The matter was called up concerning the Approval and Confirmation of Statement of Expenses in connection with the demolition of the condemned dwelling at 422 Taylor Avenue. This was authorized by Resolution No. 604.2, adopted by the Council at its meeting of February 16, 1960. The Clerk stated there was on file the Affidavit of Posting and Mailing the Statement of Expenses to those involved and the Notice of Hearing to Confirm Expenses. Also, the necessary documents of the file relative to the Hearing held for the condemnation of the dilapidated building known as 422 Taylor Avenue. In connection with the Hearing, attention was called to a letter from Mr. Leo J. Gunston, dated June 20, 1960, setting forth his objections to the abatement costs. Copies of this letter had been sent to the Councilmen for their information. Mr. James R. Brummer, Chief Building Inspector of the City of Alameda - the only witness for the City - was sworn in by the Clerk and testified concerning the State- ment of Expense. He voluntarily recommended the amount of said "Statement" be reduced $60., from a total of $624..42 to $564.42. This covers the value and demoli- tion of a dilapidated garage and the removal of weeds from the premises at the estimated costs of X50. and $10., respectively. During the course of the Hearing, Mr. Annibale ruled that, insofar as the issues raised in Mr. Gunston's letter, dated June 20, 1960, there are only two items which are subject for discussion under the present Hearing, both of which have already been brought out by Mr. Brummer - i. e., the cost of cutting weeds and the cost of removing the garage. Mr. Leo J. Gunston, owner of the property in question, was sworn in by the Clerk and claimed that since the garage building was illegally torn down by the City, he should be reimbursed for its replacement value. Also, that the cost of removing the weeds would amount to more than the $10. credited to him. There being no further testimony, Councilman Petersen moved the Hearing be closed. The motion was seconded by Councilman Collischonn and on roll call carried by the following vote. Ayes: Five. Noes: None. Absent: None. Upon the suggestion of the City Attorney, and there being no objections, the order of business was revised and the matter was referred to "Resolutions ", to be acted upon at this time. RESOLUTIONS: 13. The following resolution was introduced by Councilman Petersen, who moved its adoption: "Resolution No. 6089 Resolution of the Council of the City of Alameda ,Confirming Statement of Expenses re Abatement of Structure at 422 Taylor Avenue." The motion to adopt said resolution was seconded by Councilman Collischonn and car- ried on the following roll call vote. Ayes: Five. Noes: None. Absent: None. Referring back to "Hearings ", the meeting continued under this heading. HEARINGS: 14� The matter was called up concerning the requested rezoning of properties known as 1715 and 1717 Jay Street from "C -3" (General Commercial) District to "R -2" (Two - Family Residence) District. The properties are owned by Clentell and Leola Pitts, and Manuel E. and Rose M. Reis, respectively. The Clerk stated there was on file the Affidavit of Publication of the Notice of Hear- ing before the Council and also, pertinent material from the Planning Board relative to this case. The Board had recommended approval of the petition. In response to the President's call for the proponents in this matter, Mr. Manuel Reis, 1717 Jay Street, appeared and explained that, under a "commercial" zoning, he could not procure a loan to build a residence on his property, which he desired to,do. He also pointed out no "business" use of said property had been contemplated within the past two years. President McCall inquired if there were any opponents to the requested rezoning. There being no response, the Hearing was declared closed. Mr. Annibale stated there was an ordinance prepared for introduction on the agenda. There being no objections, the order of business was again revised and the matter was referred to "Introduction of Ordinances ". INTRODUCTION OF ORDINANCES: 15.

(1715 and 1717 Jay Street) The meeting was once more referred back to "Hearings". HEARINGS: v7 16. The matter was presented with regard to the requested rezoning of properties known as 400, 404, 408 and 412 Beach Road from "R-1-H-30" (Single-Family Residence District, Height Limit 30 Feet) to "R-2-H-30" (Two-Family Residence District, Height Limit 30 Feet). The properties are owned by Robert H. and Lucille E. Hough, Mr. and Mrs. Leo P. Hoffman and Leo A. and Angela M. Hoffman.

The Board had recommended denial of the petition. President McCall asked if there were any proponents or opponents who desired to speak at this time.

Mrs. Rudolph Steinmetz and Mr. Welles Whitmore, Jr., Social Service Board, for terms expiring June 30, 1963. All of the foregoing nominations were referred to "Resolutions". 23. From City Manager, reporting all work satisfactorily completed on the project of Grading and Improvements to Krusi Park - recommending it be accepted and the Notice of Completion be ordered filed. Councilman Freemannnved the recommendation be adopted; that the work on this specified project be accepted and the Notice of Completion be filed. The motion was seconded by Councilman Collischonn and on roll call carried by the following vote. Ayes: Five. Noes: None. Absent: None. 4 24. From City Planning Board, signed by the Secretary, recommending the Fire Depart- ment be requested to study the existing fire zone boundaries in relation to "C-2" (Central Business) District land use zones. Considerable discussion was had on this matter relative to its impact on the property owners and its possible effect on the fire rating of the City. ,Mr. Weller and Mr. Brummer gave explanations of certain conditions. Councilman Schacht moved the matter be tabled. The motion was seconded by Councilman Petersen. Speaking on the question, there was further discussion and clarification by Mr. Weller. The motion then carried on the following roll call vote. Ayes: Five. Noes: None. Absent: None. Councilman Collischonn then moved the Council ask the City Manager to request the Fire Department to make a study in conformance with the suggestions contained in the Board's letter of June 13, and in accordance with Mr. Weller's remarks as follows: "Implied in the recommendation, is the possibility of extending the Fire Zone I boundaries to include any Class 1 buildings or 2-4-hour fire resistant buildings which may already exist in the Fire Zone I. That, of course, would not constitute any major change - the buildings are already in conformity and it is possible somewhere around the peri- meter of the existing Fire Zone I, there may be buildings that actually meet the requirements of this zone but which are in Fire Zone II. If that is the case, I would see no objection to extending the boundaries to include those buildings. That, however I think would be a comparatively minor adjustment in the boundary lines. I would see nothing wrong, however, in suggesting to the Fire Department that this be checked." The motion was seconded by Councilman Schacht. 222.. Speaking on the question and in response to Councilman Collischonn's request, which was acceptable to his second, additional remarks of Mr. Welter were also included in the motion as follows: "I'm assuming that the field inspection would reveal those buildings that might be included and, of course, it would be up to the Council to determine whether or not the boundaries ought to be amended. I frankly don't know what the law is on the matter but I would think that before those boundaries were modified, the affected property owners ought to be notified so they would be in a position to say whether or not they feel the change ought to be made." The question was then put and the motion, as amended, carried on the following roll call vote. Ayes: Councilmen Collischonn, Freeman, Schacht and President McCall, (4). Noes: Councilman Petersen, (1). Absent: None. 25. From City Planning Board, signed by the Secretary, recommending the reclassifica- tion of property known as 1125 Park Street and 2306 -23061 San Jose Avenue, from "R -5" (General Apartment) District to "C -1" (Neighborhood Business) District.

Councilman Schacht referred to the matter of the 7.34 acres of the "Maritime" property on which the deadline for the City to submit a bid will be June 29, 1960. He stated he was appalled at the cost estimate of approximately 8160,000. for renova- tion and about $60,000. for operational expenses annually. During the course of the discussion on the subject, it was developed that the "State" does not have the funds to purchase the acreage in question at this time, in addition to and in connection with the Washington Park Fill Area. After an expression of opin- ion from each of the Councilmen, it was the consensus of the Council that no further consideration be given to submitting a bid on the area involved. 40.

Councilman Collischonn remarked that the Council is very proud of the report given the Alameda Fire Department by the National Board of Fire Underwriters and he believed a letter of commendation should be sent to the Fire Chief and his men in recognition of the fine job they have accomplished for the City.

Absent: None. 54`! "Ordinance No. New Series An Ordinance Amending the Alameda Municipal Code by Amending Sections 9 -149, 9 -1410 and 9 -1411 Thereof, Relating to the Vaccination of Dogs." At this time, Mrs. D. A. Sargent, President- Founder of "Pets and Pals ", Vice President of "Pet Welfare" and Legislative Chairman of Board of Humane Society of the United States, California Branch, submitted a lengthy plea to the Council not to adopt said ordinance on the grounds that the State law already takes care of the problem in rabies endemic areas. During the course of much discussion on this issue, it was developed that the City of Alameda currently has an ordinance in effect (No. 1172, New Series) which requires the vaccination of any dog if he is not confined within private premises. The pro- posed ordinance amends the present regulations to include all dogs, regardless, in order to bring the City ordinance into conformity with the State law on this matter. Mr. Werner King, Sanitarian of the County of Alameda, briefly reviewed the history of rabies cases and the need for proper and uniform regulations for vaccination of dogs. In view of the controversial nature of the question, it was suggested the ordinance be laid over to the next regular meeting and the City Manager be asked to brief the Council during the interim so it could be in a better position to make a determination at that time. There being no objections, it was so ordered. 55. "Ordinance No. 1335, New Series An Ordinance Amending Chapter 5 of Title XII of the Alameda Municipal Code by Amending Article 2 in Its Entirety and Section 12 -573 of Article 7; by Repealing Articles 3, 5 and 8 in Their Entirety and Section 12 -572 of Article 7, All Relating to Restaurants, Food Products and Beverages; By Repealing Chapter 6 of Title XII in Its Entirety; and Adopting by Reference Ordinance 285, N. S. of the County of Alameda, All Relating to Milk Production, Distribution and Sale." Councilman Collischonn moved the ordinance be adopted as submitted.

The list was accompanied by certification from the City Manager that the Claims shown were correct. Councilman Schacht moved the bills as itemized in the List of Claims filed with the City Clerk on June 21, 1960, and presented to the Council at this meeting, be allowed and paid. The motion was seconded by Councilman Freeman and carried on the following roll call vote. Ayes: Five. Noes: None. Absent: None. ADJOURNMENT: 60.
