Majority of Council indicated their desire to hold consideration of this appointment until full Council present. — Mayor Herkner announced Human Resources Commission advised that Councilman Rosselli's term had expired, and requested appointment of representative from Redwood City. Since Councilman Rosselli had expressed his willingness to serve another term, Mayor requested Council to consider his reappointment. Action deferred to regular meeting. Councilman Petersen questioned reopening discussion of the Woodside Expressway Overpass as scheduled on the Agenda, in view of fact full Council still not present and any action might result in same tie vote. Councilman Bury expressed his desire for Council to make a decision on this matter as felt an acceptable motion could be made and avoid further delay. Councilman Granger felt only motion necessary was to instruct Staff to proceed, but doubted Staff had sufficient information as to costs. Councilman Henderson favored leaving item on the Agenda and felt this was definitely indicated at last meeting. Councilman Keckley stated he would abide by Mayor's decision as to whether item should be left on the Agenda without a full Council present. After further discussion, Mayor Herkner announced in accordance with action taken last week, item should be left on the Agenda. Councilman Henderson questioned City Attorney as to whether it would be necessary to have a "dollars" amount included in motion by Council to authorize proceeding with this project. City Attorney advised amount of costs not necessary at this point as Council could authorize preparation of plans and specifications either by reso- lution or a motion. Councilman Henderson questioned reason for alternate bids on Maple -Redwood Trunk Sewer, SS -2, City Manager advised this covered costs for both brick manholes vs. precast, difference of some $3,000. Councilman Petersen stated this subject had been discussed with contractors as to reasons City required consideration of the more expensive brick manholes when precast less expensive and easier to install. Council advised City at one time required the brickmanholes but now left item as alternate with precast. Director of Public Works stated in his opinion precast manholes equal to brickmanholes and would recommend acceptance of precast in this instance.
