i78 Councilman Rosselli moved to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 5403 TERMINATING PERMISSION TO UTILIZE CERTAIN CITY -OWNED WATER LINES, seconded by Councilman Petersen. Staff reported City's agreement with Clyde Henry's Friendly Acres Water Company for the use of the Rose Avenue, Jones Court, and Michael Drive, water facilities, were subject to revocation by the City for reasons which had been outlined in the City Manager's report previously submitted to Council. City Manager read his recom- mendation which had been included in his report, stating that, based upon a review of records maintained by the Staff relative to the operation of the Friendly Acres Water Company, it was evident that the system, as it is presently operated, is not providing adequate water service to the residents and property owners within the _ subject service area, and Staff, therefore, recommended the termination of the District's permission to utilize the City -owned facilities in the improvement Districts referred to. In response to Council questioning, City Attorney reported all three City -owned lines referred to, were used by Mr. Henry under a revocable permit agreement, and contained provisions for termination, should conditions not be fulfilled. Roger Anderson. 1015 Haven Avenue, as user of Friendly Acres Water, protested inadequate water pressure and resultant fire hazards. He also questioned publicity which had been given from time to time that City intended to purchase this water system and if statements were correct. City Attorney advised acquisition procedures were being processed as authorized by Council and that inventory and appraisal procedures were also being conducted, but this Council action as recommended, only involved use of City -owned lines in three isolated blocks. Mr. Anderson was assured action proposed in this instance would not aggravate conditions he had reported at his residence. Councilman Granger recommended that Council consider the method of financing by which this water system could be acquired by the City. Motion carried on roll call vote, Councilman Keckley being noted absent. Councilman Petersen moved to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 5404 APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF AGREEMENT BETWEEN WOODSIDE FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT AND THE CITY OF REDWOOD CITY FOR FURNISHING FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT AND THE CITY OF REDWOOD CITY FOR FURNISHING FIRE PROTECTION SERVICE BY DISTRICT WITHIN A PORTION OF THE EXISTING CORPORATE LIMITS OF CITY AND FOR FURNISHING BY CITY OF RECIPROCAL SERVICE WITHIN A PORTION OF THE EXISTING TERRITORIAL LIMITS OF DISTRICT, seconded by Councilman Bury. Staff report stated agreement proposed is to furnish reciprocal fire protection in the area commonly known as "Edgewood Hills", bounded by Edgewood Road on the North, Alameda de las Pulgas on the East, Woodside Road on the South and Canada Road on the West, necessitated because of the City area projecting into Woodside Fire Pro- tection District and actually splitting their District. It was further stated this would offer protection so that both Districts would res- pond to a fire starting in either District and provide immediate action. There is no monetary exchange involved. Motion carried on roll call vote, Councilman Keckley being noted absent. JM 26 lei
