Councilman Spillers moved adoption of RESOLUTION NO. 2737 DECLAPJ NG DECORATION DAY, MAY 30th, AN OFFICIAL HOLIDAY THROUGHOUT SAN MATEO COUNTY, seconded by Councilman Fields and carried on roll call, Mayor Royer being noted. absent. INTERIM REPORT, LEGISLATIVE COMMITTER. 1. Your Legislative Committee has reviewed the proposed County -wide Flood Control Act and has briefly dis- cussed the problem with Assemblyman Britschgi and a prepresentative of the City of San Mateo. As a result of our discussions, we feel that the act contains some features which should be clarified and if necessary, amended. These features include the methods and procedures governing the creation of taxing zones which include City territory. We also are concerned about the method provided in the bill for the compensation to be provided cities for existing flood control work which is to be incl- uded as an integral part of the whole area -gide or zone -wide District plan. There are also other items which we feel should at least be discussed with the proponents of the bill before we take f ormal action one way or the other. 2. We would also like to inform the Council that we have been advised that the City of San Mateo is having a special Council meeting this evening to go over many of the problems involved in the Act with Mr. Stallings and representatives of the Board of Supervisors and the Manufacturers Association. We think it would be advisable to obtain the results of this meeting before a definite recommendation is made with respect to either the amendments or the Councills position with respect to the entire bill. 3• We do have a problem of time in that while we were advised by Senator Dolwig that the hearing on this matter was set for June 3rd, we have since heard that the hearing will be held this caning Wednesday.. May 27th. 40 Under these conditions the Committee recommends that the Chairman be authorized by the Council to discuss the points in question with representatives of the City of San Mateo in an attempt to clar- ify the questions that the Committee has. It is anticipated that this can be accomplished tomorrow, and if any solutions are arrived at as a result of these discussions by the Chairman of your Com- mittee, we feel that the Chairman should be authorized to take whatever action he deems necessary to protect the best interests of the City at the hearing Wednesday. Councilman Spillers moved approval of the interim report of the Legislative Committee concerning the proposed County Flood Control Act and authorized the Chairman to discuss proposed clarifications and amendments of the bill and take whatever action he deems necessary with respect to the legislative hearing thereong (MINUTE CEDER #59-64), seconded by Gouncilman Rosselli and carried. Chairman Herkner also reported on Senate Bill #1125 (Holmdahl) on Public Utilities. The Committee recommends the Council to take action to back•the bill. Councilman Rosselli moved to back the bill because it will benefit the people of Redwood City and offered RESOLUTION N0. 2738 APPROVING AND URGING ADOPTION OF A.B. 1125 RELATIVE TO RATE MAKING FORMULAS BY PUBLIC UTITLITY COMMISSION, seconded by Coun.- oilman Spillers and carried on roll call, Mayor Royer being noted absent.
