I MINUTES August 22 , 1973 HOUSING CONCERNS COMMITTEE 7 : 00 A .M. COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES BUILDING REDWOOD CITY MEMBERS PRESENT : Mayor Keckley , Elise Johnson , Fred Soderer , Eugene Moriguchi . MEMBERS ABSENT : Vice Mayor Henderson , Councilman Norris , Rev . Bim- son , and Melvin Kerwin , STAFF PRESENT : Charles Gyselbrecht , Mike Riback , Ken Schroeter , Dick Rivas , and Jim Smith . Mike Riback reported on the legal status of the Palo Alto property owners and managers licensing ordinance . The Santa Clara County Superior Court has issued a preliminary injunction against Palo Alto , indicating in general that the State had pre -empted the area of hous- ing discrimination . Mr . Moriguchi suggested that for the September 12 meeting, the Commit- tee should discuss whether or not the City should file an amicus curiae brief in conjunction with the appeal of the Palo Alto case . Agenda Item #1 . Mr . Gyselbrecht briefly reviewed the resale inspec- tion program in other cities in the State , namely San Jose , Palo Alto , Hermosa Beach , and Hayward . All programs are relatively new . Therefore , there is not much experience to draw from. Furthermore , most are voluntary and thus , not too effective . The anticipated Redwood City program would be mandatory and would take at least a full time inspector and a clerical person . A rough estimate of fees would be $ 25 per inspection , to be paid either by the buyer or seller . In view of there being a lack of a quorum, the Chairman held Items #2 and #3 for discussion at the next meeting . There being no further business , it was moved by Mr . Moriguchi , duly seconded and carried , to adjourn at 8 : 20 a . m .
