444 Legislative Committee Report. Councilman Rosselli, Chairman, advised Committee's report had not been completed until this date and submitted to Council, and if Council wished to continue this matter for further study and review, he would accept their decision as there was no immediate action necessary on the legislative bills which had been reviewed by the Committee. Councilman Rosselli referred to the previous report submitted by the Committee and gave a brief review of the legislation which had been reviewed this date. Mayor Herkner asked that this matter be continued for one week (Marc} 18th) in order that Council might have further opportunity to review the report sub- mitted. Dumbarton Fire Protection District. City Manager advised that his communication dated February 21st addressed to Mr. John Connors, with copies submitted to Council, contained full information on the delinquent status of payment due the City for fire protection services under the existing contract with the Dumbarton Fire Protection District. He pointed out that the County Controller had delivered the check to Mr. Connors on 12/21/67, but that as of this date, in spite of repeated demands, the check had not been delivered to City. He also referred to report submitted to Council on March 8th detailing the legal action which he would recommend be taken at this time if this delinquent pay- ment had still not been received since all other efforts to obtain same had failed. After some discussion by Council and questioning of City Attorney on pro- cedures which might be possible for legal recourse, besides questioning possibility of adding a delinquent penalty for not receiving this payment when due, Councilman Rosselli moved to authorize Acting City Attorney to institute such legal action or proceedings as necessary and proper to force payment, seconded by Councilman Petersen and carried. (MINUTE ORDER #68-69) ACCOUNTS PAYABLE, Nos. 65431 to 65657 inclusive, totaling $298,490.45, were approved on motion of Councilman Rosselli, seconded by Councilman Bury. Councilman Henderson questioned fact that monthly progress reports had not been received from DMJM lately. City Manager, in reply, stated that he had ordered this written report held off since the monthly oral reports had been resumed as it seemed a duplication of expense and effort were involved, besides the fact that the written reports were often not current information when pre - rented. Councilman Henderson asked that at least a quarterly wVitten report be con- sidered. City Manager advised he would reconsider resuming reports and report. (Memo 3/12/68) 0 11V
