Councilman Weymouth moved to adopt RESOLUTION NO, 6185 APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING AGREE- MENT FOR RELINQUISHMENT OF ACCESS RIGHTS (PARCEL MAP NO, 69-5 - LESLIE PROPERTIES, INC.), seconded by Councilman Arnett. City Manager stated this procedure was the same as that followed in previous Redwood Shores map procedures and this covers an emergency access requested by the Fire Fighters. Motion carried on roll call vote, Mayor Bury being noted absent. Approval of Civil Denfense and Disaster• Organization Budget, Fiscal Year 1970-1971. Budget was approved by the Area Disaster Council at its meeting of November 20, 1969, and member jurisdictions had been asked to approve their individual contributions. Councilman Rosselli expressed disapproval of the proposed payment of $50.00 to committee members, believing the figure should be deleted, since expenses are already reimbursed to members. Vice Mayor Petersen noted that Mayor Bury had already indicated he would not present any claim for this purpose. Council discussed this aspect and appeared generally to feel it was not necessary and that contributions to this Civil Defense Council should be used entirely for the organization and no portion to be paid as fees for attendance. Responding to question concerning the increased budget, City Manager referred to his report, in which it was explained this was due to salary increases and maintenance of additional equipment and that the total budget was $145,372, and Redwood City's contribution would amount to $1,787.92, less a minor reduction if payment for meeting attendance was not approved. While concern over payment for attendance was expressed and considered a reason for deferring action for one week, others felt that each city could make its own determination as to whether to participate in that provision. It was noted that the fee was proposed in the hope that better attendance would be encouraged than has been the case. Councilman Rosselli moved to defer the matter for one week (to January 12, 1970) to allow time to study County budget, seconded by Councilman Keckley. However, Councilman Weymouth pointed out that this would require reproducing the required copies of a bulky report, and it was suggested that a copy be made available in the City Manager's office for review. Motion carried, Councilman Weymouth and Vice Mayor Petersen voting no. (MINUTE ORDER # 70-4)
