<br /> I . I . . <br /> B. Robert Garber, 101 Acacia Lane, Redwood City, expressed his concerns over increasing <br /> water rates and sewer taxes, and asked Council to consider giving a break to retired <br /> people. <br /> - Mayor Hartnett briefly explained the Council decision several years ago to stop <br /> subsidizing sewer and water services from the General Fund and develop a program <br /> whereby the fees for service would cover the cost of service, and asked the Public Works <br /> Services Department to contact Mr. Garber. (204) <br /> MEMO 9/17/96 <br /> C. Ed Bailey, 3215 Page Street, advised that the service station at 895 Woodside Road was <br /> operating in violation of City permits, had caused soil contamination, blocked the adjacent <br /> street and the operators were extremely uncooperative. He described the negative effects <br /> this operation was having on the nursing home he operated next door. (204) <br /> City Manager Everett confirmed Mr. Bailey's charges and advised that the operators had <br /> been issued a citation this day and City staff was working on abatement proceedings with <br /> the City Attorney. <br /> City Attorney Schricker suggested there might be alternative approaches to this matter; <br /> however, the Council might have to authorize the City to take legal action. <br /> Council directed staff to move as quickly as possible in this matter. <br /> MEMO 9/17/96 <br /> '-- <br /> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------______nn_---------- <br /> 3.
