Councilman Britschgi stated that there was $10,000 left in the fund that was not spent. Out of the berthing expenses they will have.a monthly income of $2,000.

He also recommended that they work up plans and specifications on the ramp. He spoke further on the financing and what the committee anicipated. Councilman Britschgi moved that the City Engineer be asked to draw up the plans and specifications for the piling to be put in place and also draw plans and specifications for the ramp, seconded by Councilman Spillers. Councilman Weiss read the following prepared statement: Pertinent to this yacht harbor problem, I attended the San Mateo County Advisory Planning Council meeting the evening of November 9th. At that meeting the County Master Plan Project Staff made a presentation and report on the Samll Boat Harbor Ssetion 'of County vwide Master Plan. It was stated that the small boat harbor section must be readied, at least as a preliminary plan, and submitted to state authorities by not later than December if the county and the incorporated communities within the county, and which have small boat harbor projects under advisement, may receive consideration in the allocation of state funds for such developments. It is my understanding that the state will have in the very near future some $20,000,000 available for allocation, and that similar sums will be available each year for the next four or five years and may be more. Though we have been playing with and spending considerable funds on our Yacht Harbor development, so far as I know we have never until this week had the semblance of a formal plan submitted to us for approval. We have so far proceeded entirely on a piece meal, catch-asocatch can basis. It was a considerable surprise to me, when at the meeting of the County Advisory Planning Council it was indicated that Redwood City was one of the three or four communit- ies that had submitted formal plans for a small boat harbor -for inclusion in the county master plan. It was also somewhat embarrasing since formal approval either by the planning commission or Council is essential. It is my understanding that such a request for approval is being sent to each community involved. It was further indicated that time is f the essence in connection with..aaid County proposal, and since I know not how presently our city can finance the proposal for berths, etc* presented tonight, I am of the opinion that logic demands that we be cautions, yet we must take certain definite steps to safeguard the cities interests and the investments it has already made. Accordingly I suggest: 1. That the Chairman of the Yacht Harbor Committee be requested to reduce his report to writing and submit same to this countil for acceptance and appropriate action. 2. That the committee be instructed to submit to this council with the aforementioned report a copy of the report and plans and specifications that were furnished the county authorities by said committee, with any additional comments and recommendations they care to hake; that such report, etc* be made and submitted at the November 19th meeting of this council, if at all practicable. wild 3. That a action towards further development pment at city expense be held in abeyance until we can explore the various facts of the program and its related problems, financial and otherwise. L* That we move as expeditiously as possible with proper planning and thus avoid endangering our eligibility for inclusion in state allocations of funds for small boat harbors. This was followed by discussion with Councilman Britschgi attempting to answer Councilman Weiss's
