<br />COMMITTEE REPORT ON COUNTY -CITY PROBLEMS. The Clerk read the following report.-
<br />On
<br />eport.On December 30, 1959, at 11 a* mo at the Hall of Justice, Councilmen John Rosselli, Sidney
<br />Herkner and myself, and City staff, City Manager James Neal, City Engineer Glenn Jain, Traffic
<br />Engineer Arthur Eskelin, met with the Chairman of the Board of Supervisors William Werder,
<br />County Manager Bob Stallings and County Engineer Don Wilson#
<br />The first subject on the agenda was Middlefield Road widening. The County proposed an
<br />assessment district from Charter Street to the Dumbarton spur tvact, with the City partici-
<br />pating in the improvement of the north-easterly side of Middlefield from Charter to Douglas.
<br />The problem here was that the City is concerned in desiring the drainage to be diffused
<br />among the different intersections entering Middlefield Road. Also, we wanted to have a
<br />similarity of contributions in this assessment district. Both County and City officials
<br />agreed on a general standard of drainage and assessments, with the engineers to figure out
<br />the solution of some of the small technical problems.
<br />Second on the agenda was the request of the City that the County participate financially
<br />in the construction of the Five Points interchange. City traffic studies indicate that
<br />possibly as high as 60% of the traffic coming East on Woodside Road, comes from the County.
<br />This percentage, however, is very difficult to pin down, and it was thought by City officials
<br />that a fair and just amount of contribution by the County would be 25% of the City's share
<br />of the total construction costs. The State then would put in $4,000,000, the City of Red-
<br />wood $750,000, and the County $250,000. County officials agreed to take this up at a meet-
<br />ing of the Board of S upervisors to be held at 4 o'clock Tuesday, January 12� at the Hall
<br />of Justice. The problem here is not so much agreement by the County Officials that this a
<br />fair and just percentage of the cost, but a matter of just haw the County would finance
<br />their share if the Board of Supervisors agree to participate.
<br />Third, the City requested that Whipple and Hopkins both be included by the County in their
<br />contract with Wilsey and Ham, in that firm's overpass studies for the Rapid Transit District.
<br />At the present time the County has authorized a study of only the Hopkins -E1 Camino Real
<br />overpass. It was the City's thinking that perhaps Whipple should be included in this study.
<br />County officials state that they would be happy to have Wilsey and Ham study either Whipple
<br />or Hopkins, but it is up to the City to make the preliminary study to determine which one we
<br />want the County to take care of.
<br />In my opinion all parties gather together around the table were interested in solving these
<br />problems, and it was a very amicable meeting.
<br />I would like to compliment both County and City officials on the cooperation displayed at
<br />this meeting.
<br />Respectfully submitted,
<br />Robert V. Spillers
<br />Councilman
<br />Committee Chairman
<br />MM
<br />The City Manager was asked to get a cost estimate and have it ready for the Thursday meeting.

<br />Whipple Avenue between E1 Camino Real and A rch Street, seconded by Councilman Herkner and carried.
