( Councilman Leipzig entered the meeting at 8 : 10 am . m . ) In addition to the water bond proposal , also included were two reason - ably large proposals for assessment districts , one pending completion of the General Plan element for Emerald Hills , and the other in the Friendly Acres area . Also recommended was a bond issue in connection with water system rehabilitation program . Additional projects were delineated but not assigned specific allocations at this time , some being classed as matters requiring further study , and others pending completion of General Plan elements . During the next year , he indicated , there would be a total review of the Civic Center Project . He noted two Storm Drain Improvement projects totaling $ 875 , 000 for beyond the 5 -year period , which , if completion required earlier , may involve long - term financing to complete . Several Street Improvement Projects were proposed , most of which would be dependent upon completion of the Traffic Circulation element of the General Plan , so that decisions as to financing can be made based on the interrelationships of the various segments . There was brief discussion with respect to a proposal to lift Woodside Road above grade , between Bayshore Freeway and El Camino Real , in which City Manager indicated much was involved in terms of intersecting streets and necessity to insure that a "wall " is not built bisecting the community in that area . Councilman Henderson felt that it was important if this project is to be pursued that the City establish itself in the State ' s order of priorities as soon as possible . Under Revenues , City Manager reviewed the general assumptions with respect to the state of the economy , population and business community rowth rate , and anticipated additional sources of revenue . These wouldd include adjustments in water and sewer service connection fees , a proposal for Park Dedication Ordinance , and proposed Fire Protection Facilities Fee . The latter , which City Manager indicated was legal in Charter Cities but not General Law Cities , would provide a means to acquire equipment and to expand training facilities . In this regard , it was felt that construction of training facilities in cooperation with neighboring cities would be more efficient and less costly to maintain than the present independently operated facilities by each city . In discussion , Councilman Norris inquired with regard to revenue sources whether it was intended to look into an admission tax , and City Manager responded affirmatively , but indicated this would not specifically be in connection with capital improvement .
