336 where accidents are happening and where people are being injured . Very few accidents occurred on Farm Hill , and other areas of the City demand their attention . Director of Public Works advised that three criteria were used , being speed, accident record , and unexpected conditions . Their experience indicated that the only unexpected condition was the one pointed out by Mr . Herdman , concerning the elevated section . With initiation of signals , and advance warning sign , he felt this was a safe speed in this area . In the discussion which followed, Councilman Henderson noted that in offering the motion , it was her understanding in approving a 40 mph speed limit , that it would be enforced at 41 mph . City Manager indicated that with radar permitted , this would be the case . Councilman Leipzig noted that even if the residents wanted to retain the present speed limit , this was not possible to enforce , due to the fact there were not enough officers to give citations to every offender , and if there were , they would not be upheld in court . Motion carried on roll call vote , Councilmen Henderson , Leipzig , Weymouth, and Mayor Keckley voting yes ; and Councilmen Norris , Rhodes and Williams voting no . ( MINUTE ORDER #73-45 ) Mayor Keckley ordered a five-,minute recess at 10 : 45 p . m . Councilman Weymouth moved to adopt RESOLUTION NO . 6887 AMENDING SECTION 1 OF THE RULES AND REGULATIONS OF THE REDWOOD CITY WATER DEPARTMENT ( DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS ) AND RESCINDING RESOLUTION NO . 2284 , RELATING TO APPLICATIONS FOR WATER SERVICE , seconded by Councilman Norris . Staff report indicated that Resolution No . 2284 , adopted July 15 , 1957 , established a charge of $2 . 50 during work hours and $4 . 50 outside of work hours for turning on water service after discontinuance . It was felt that costs involved had risen to such an extent in the last fifteen years to warrant a realistic increase in said charge . Councilman Leipzig expressed concern that people whose service has been turned off may simply not have the money, and this further penalized them . Director of Public Works indicated that many cases involve people who just neglect to pay bills on time , and that they do receive as many as three notices before service is actually shut off , which involves a period of time of about a month . Motion carried on roll call vote . Councilman Norris moved to introduce Ordinance amending Section 38 . 10 of the Code of the City of Redwood City , relating to Water System Connection Fees , seconded by Councilman Rhodes and carried . 4/2/73 Reg .
