He further advised indications are that the State Lands Commission will require payment of a five cent per cubic yard royalty for all material removed from that portion of Belmont Slough under their jurisdiction, and it was on this point negotiations between City and Commission would center, and upon which the granting of a permit will hinge. Councilman Henderson requested further details of obligations and City Limit lines in the Belmont Slough, which were explained by the City Attorney. Mrs. Barrentine, of Redwood City Civic Association, questioned remarks made that this would be an Agenda item on the State Lands Commission meeting of November 17th.
