803 of bonds for purposes granted to District pursuant to proceedings taken after formation, seconded by Councilman Bury. City Manager's report was read, as follows: "AMENDMENT SECTION 801, ORDINANCE 1128 Ordinance 1128 PROVIDES for the formation of a General Improvement District, and was the basis for both GID 1-64 (Redwood Shores) and GID 1-65 (Storm Drainage), 2065 (Water System Improvements), 3-65 (Sanitary Sewer System Improvements). The Ordinance details how a District may be formed and spells out the Council legis- lative actions precedent to such formation. One of the procedures is the adoption of legislation describing the geographical district, and spelling out the exact purposes for which it was formed. This basic Ordinance 1128 has been amended by the Council, from time to time, to clarify procedures. One of these amendments was to Section 615, and provided for the addition of purposes (or projects), by the Council, to those which were detailed in the Resolution forming a District. It then became obvious that if the Council adds purposes or projects to an already existing District, as permitted by Section 615, they should also have the means to finance those purposes or projects. The proposed amendment under consideration (Section 801) simply states that the Council may, by using the regular procedures provided in Ordinance 1128, finance those added projects by the issuance of bonds of the District. Both the addition of projects and the approval of financing them thru District bonds must, of course, follow all procedures through the Council." Councilman Henderson again raised the question of the election on the fire facilities and referred to the minutes of 5/4/64. City Manager explained that it would not be a City election, but concerned only the District, and would be an election within the District, by the property owners or, if there were any registered voters in the District, by those voters. Councilman Henderson stated she does not feel this sub- ject has been presented clearly to the public. Councilman Bury replied that after reading the minutes to which Councilman Henderson referred, he was satisfied that this action is consistent with his understanding as to the development of the Shores.

Councilman Keckley pointed out that the item in the minutes referred to was entirely devoted to a public hearing on formation of District 1-64, that the action taken after the close of the hearing concerned only District 1-64, without reference to an election of the City electorate. Motion carried on roll call vote, Councilman Henderson voting no.' Discussion of Smallcomb Enterprises letter concerning barrier on El Camino Real in front of Five Points Shopping Center. Mr. John Trewe, 1525 Hudson St., owner of Farmer's Market appeared to state that if barrier at Oak Avenue if removed he would be put out of business because he can only unload freight on E1 Camino and State required that there be no parking on E1 Camino if barrier opened. Councilman Bury asked what hours his freight is unloaded and Mr. Trewe stated during regular working hours.
