4152 Councilman Granger moved to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 5271 ABANDONING PORTION OF TACOMA WAY IN ACCORDANCE WITH PART 3 OF DIVISION 9, STREETS AND HIGHWAYS CODE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, seconded by Councilman Rosselli and carried on roll call vote. Mayor Herkner asked for Council's decision on request of Dr. Chope for membership change on the Board of Review. Councilman Rosselli moved to accept recommenda- tion of the City Manager, that City not amend the Code to change membership on the Board of Review, seconded by Councilman Petersen. Councilman Bury again urged reconsideration of this request as felt designated qualified personnel might be able to perform in capacity of Department Heads in event emergency action called for from this Board. Councilman Henderson questioned restrictions which would be possible if amendment should be considered. City Attorney advised ordinance amendments for alternative would provide for Director of Public Health and Welfare, or member of his Staff specifically desig- nated, not just any Staff members. Councilman Henderson asked if Staff would still object to this phrasing for an amendment. City Manager stated infrequency of meetings required from this Board would merely emphasize his recommendation that a change not be made in membership of the Board. Motion carried on roll call vote, Councilman Bury voting no. (MINUTE ORDER #67-22) Woodside Expressway Widening Design Presentation by State, City and County City Manager announced Mr. Jess Black, of the State Division of Highways, Mr. — Don Wilson, County Engineer, and City Engineering Staff present to explain proposed design for widening of Woodside Road Expressway from Cypress Street to the Alameda as depicted on illustrated full length map and slides of sections of the roadway. Director of Public Works reviewed concern of the Council to hasten this needed project and of the City's intended participation in the amount of approximately $400,000 to improve the storm drains along this expressway, and County's proposed contribution of some $100,000 towards the project. He also advised Council of Mr. Black's statement concerning State's willingness to participate in under - grounding of utilities along this route. Director of Public Works stated plan depicted was recommended by State, County and City Staff and presented for first preliminary review of Council. Director of Public Works detailed the 3 proposed intersection signalization plan for Alameda -Woodside and the 3 pedestrian crosswalks, necessitating business enterprise on Southeast corner being eliminated because of widening at this point. Mr. Black further explained plans proposed for intersection by grading area for sidewalk on West side only up to school entrance but advised State could not par- ticipate in sidewalk planning further than this point. He also advised Town of Woodside had refused to allow for sidewalk area on the North side beyond this point. Councilman Rosselli questioned presentation of design plan being made at this meeting as felt debate should be continued until full plan presented. Councilman
