Wendy Redford, San Carlos, urged Council to recon- <br /> sider action taken at the Budget Study Session of <br /> May 31, 1975 to discontinue operation of the police <br /> boat and eliminate maintenance costs from the pro- <br /> posed budget. Mrs . Redford suggested lives may be <br /> saved because of use of the boat. <br /> 2. Pete Uccelli, Pete ' s Harbor, spoke in favor of con- <br /> tinuing City operation of the police boat, noting <br /> that contrary to statement made by a citizen at <br /> the May 31, 1975 Budget Study Session, the boat is <br /> not in competition with either Pete ' s Harbor or <br /> Al ' s Marine Store, and is an asset to boaters. Mr. <br /> Uccelli suggested presence of the boat is a deter- <br /> rent to potentially careless boat operators. Mr. <br /> Uccelli offered to provide free haulouts for boat <br /> maintenance and to pull and reinstall engines in <br /> conjunction with a state offer to pay for renova- <br /> j tion of the engines. <br /> 3. Al Caesar, Al ' s Marine Store, stated that he does <br /> not run a rescue service as stated by a citizen as <br /> reported in the Tribune, although he has assisted <br /> the Coast Guard at their request. Mr. Caesar urged <br /> Council to continue operation of the police boat, <br /> observing that many boaters would assist with the <br /> police boat on a volunteer basis . <br /> 4. Herbert I. Magee, Commodore, Peninsula Yacht Club, <br /> stated his concern for safety if the police boat is <br /> withdrawn from service, observing that it is a de- <br /> terrent to irresponsible boat owners. Mr. Magee <br /> suggested grants may be available to assist the <br /> City in cutting costs of operation. <br /> 5. Kerins O 'Conner, stated he is a taxpayer in Redwood <br /> City because of a business of which he is part-owner. <br /> -6- <br /> Reg.Mtg. <br /> 6/9/75 <br />
