Councilman Bury questioned rezoning made at this location and improvement details. Mayor Herkner questioned specific reason for Standard Oil not setting up their budget to meet conditions as previously stated where improvements were badly needed and delay requested for approximately one year, to which he was opposed. Councilman Granger left the meeting for 10 minutes (9;35 p.m.) Mr. Jack Balsley, of Standard Oil Co., advised at time their Company had started negotiations to buy property adjacent to their station at Main and Veterans Blvd., a legal snag had developed on a lot split which took more time to resolve than had been anticipated, and as their budget was greatly restricted on property acquistion, an extension was being requested which would not result in a delay of a year, but only to June 30, 19683 with the hope that improvements could be completed even prior to this time, and also of their willingness to agree to any dedica- tion of easements necessary. Mayor Herkner asked whether funds were in their Company's budget when first approved by the Council. Mr. Balsley explained funds in their budget were not planned for one specific station, but a lump sum was granted for all and delay in getting zoning changes, Use Permit and architectural approval had resulted in funds being exhausted in their budget. City Manager recommended extension be granted as requested. Motion carried on roll call vote, Mayor Herkner voting no, Councilman Petersen being noted absent. Councilman Rosselli moved to adopt ORDINANCE NO. 1308 APPROPRIATING SUM OF $135923 FROM UNAPPROPRIATED BALANCE OF BUDGET RESERVES OF GENERAL FUND TO PROVIDE FOR PUR- CHASE OF MATERIALS, SUPPLIES AND SERVICES, STREET MAINTENANCE (provides for reim- bursement to Street Maintenance for sum transferred from this account by Resolu- tion to pay additional Retrospective Insurance Premium) seconded by Councilman Keckley and carried on roll call vote, Councilman Petersen being noted absent. Councilman Rosselli moved to introduce Ordinance amending Section 20.45 of Chapter 20 of the Code of the City of Redwood City relating to prima facie speed limits, seconded by Councilman Henderson. Staff reported this Ordinance extends the 35 MPH speed limit Southerly on Veterans Boulevard from Main Street to Chestnut Street, as this portion has a State posted speed limit of 45 MPH as a carryover from when it was a State Highway. Motion carried. Councilman Rosselli moved to introduce Ordinance appropriating sum of $9,000 from unappropriated balance of Sales Tax Capital Expenditure Fund to provide for remodeling and refurbishing of offices of City Manager, seconded by Councilman Granger. Report of City Manager previously submitted to Council on March 10th. Councilman Henderson felt City Manager's report should be read, also advising she had dis- cussed this matter with City Manager and Assistant Manager indicating no enough information had been furnished, as no breakdowns given, no assurance work would be accomplished for price quoted, and that she felt this to be no real solution to problems due for a critical determination. She stated she felt it more appro- priate that this request be studied at budget meetings, and particularly after EBS report submitted and discussions held on whole of City's civic center plans. Councilman Rosselli protested challenging City Manager's proposal for alterations in City's administrative offices in view of apparent adverse working conditions and felt this to be more of an administrative matter. He agreed all were waiting for 1� AM to •m
