162 City Manager advised that the reason for setting April 13 for public hearing was to place it before Council as presently composed. April 20 would be the meeting at which the new Council would be seated and it was thought they would not be prepared to vote on a matter of this importance. If the applicant had no objection to April 27, as was indicated by Mr. Johnson, he would so recommend. He added that AB 133 pro- vided that agreement must be recorded by May 15 to be applicable to this year's taxes. Councilman Keckley moved to amend the Resolution to set public hearing for April 27, 1970, seconded by Councilman Petersen. Councilman Arnett questioned County partici- pation of in -lieu payments to School Districts, and felt it would be advisable to ask the County for discussion on the point. City Manager advised that material developed here had been mailed to other interested parties that day. Mr. Harry Jackson of San Francisco, Counsel for the applicant, advised of two pending bills in the Legislature, AB 1001, (Bagley), "Governor's Tax Package" providing on per acre basis for the several types of school districts; SB 626 (Stern) and companion Assembly Bill (Duffy) which provides flat reimbursement to cities and school district by reason of open space contracts. Motion to adopt amended resolution setting public hearing for April 27, was carried on roll call vote, Councilman Weymouth being noted absent, Councilman Petersen moved to adopt RESOLUTION NO, 6259 ACCEPTING APPORTIONMENT OF FEDERAL TOPICS PROGRAM FUNDS AND ADVISING ADMINISTERING AGENCY OF INTENDED ACTIONS, seconded by Councilman Keckley. Councilman Henderson indicated her support of intent to accumulate funds for more substantial projects, among which she listed grade separation to 5 Points, Junipero Serra Freeway and completion of Woodside Expressway, Sidney Herkner, 55 Turnsworth, questioned what the program covered and how much money involved and what would be done with it. City Manager reviewed the program, advising Redwood City's apportionment for 1970 amounted to $70,980 and it was anticipated that the 1970-71 amount would be ap- proximately the same. Basically, under the Federal Aid to Highways Program, in order to participate, it is necessary to indicate the City will join with the County in making County -wide studies of highway needs. The action before Council would accomplish this by indicating to the State authorities the intention. Under the rules, this must be done by June 30, 1970. Councilman Petersen added that the pro- gram had been adopted by the State. In order for cities and towns to participate in monies available, it is necessary to have one agency to administer and identify streets that will qualify. This can be overlapping agencies or regional. In this case, the County would be administering agency.
