290 Councilman Rosselli moved to adopt ORDINANCE NO. 1269 APPROPRIATING THE SUM OF $10,000 FROM DEPRECIATION ACCOUNT OF MARINA REVENUE FUND AND APPROPRIATING THE SUM OF $6,924 FROM UNAPPROPRIATED BALANCE OF SALES TAX CAPITAL OUTLAY FUND FOR PURPOSE OF CONSTRUCTION OF HARBORMASTER QUARTERS; AND, AMENDING SECTION 2.37 OF CODE OF CITY OF REDWOOD CITY RELATING TO MARINA CONSTRUCTION FUND, seconded by Councilman Keckley and carried unanimously on roll call vote. Staff report and recommendation concerning Council meeting dates and times. Staff recommended that the first four Mondays of each month be regular meetings, elimina- ting the second Monday Study Meeting, the 7:30-8:00 p.m. information study and review period to be retained. The Staff further recommended that Council adjourn to a full study session whenever need arises. It was believed in this way public hearings and other legislative matters could be scheduled more evenly and study items included on any of the regular meetings. Councilman Rosselli moved to introduce Ordinance amending Section 2.20 of the Code of the City of Redwood City, relating to Council meetings, seconded by Councilman Granger. On question Councilman Henderson moved to amend the motion -F by eliminating paragraph (b) of Ordinance relating to weekly study session, seconded by Councilman Bury. Councilman Rosselli expressed his opposition to eliminating this study session and contended it was needed for Council's review of Agenda items before the regular meeting. Mr. Bill Rhodes, 1614 Hudson, expressed hope that when and if Council adjourned to a meeting for study purposes it would be held in evening in order public could attend. Councilman Keckley expressed his opposition to eliminating weekly study meetings, particularly important during balloting for Commission members, and strongly urged study session be retained. Councilman Bury stated in seconding motion he didn't deny importance of discussion on Agenda items for Council's benefit, but indicated he felt they should be conducted in Supervisors' Chambers where the public can be accommodated. Mayor Herkner indicated he had no objection to study session being held in Supervisors' Chambers where regular legislative meetings held, as con- ference room not large enough to indicate meeting was open to the public. Coun- cilman Granger felt a contact concerning this subject with League of California Cities would prove 900 of cities maintain a study session before a regular session and recommended study session be maintained, although he was opposed to monthly study meeting. Roll call on motion to eliminate 7:30-8:00 p.m, study meeting lost on roll call vote, Councilmen Bury, Henderson voting yes, Councilman Granger, Keckley, Petersen, Rosselli and Mayor Herkner voting no. Councilman Henderson moved that the motion be amended to provide that 7:30-8:00 p.m. Study session be held in Supervisors Chambers where regular meetings held. Mayor Herkner asked that Vice -Mayor Bury assume the chair in order he might parti- cipate in this motion. After Vice -Mayor Bury assumed the chair, Mayor Herkner seconded motion made by Councilman Henderson that 7:30-8:00 p.m. Study session be held in the Supervisorst Chambers. Councilman Granger opposed to this motion as felt too restrictive and unnecessary. Councilman Rosselli again expressed his
