Glouncilman Petersen moved to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 5618 ANNEXING LANDS TO GENERAL IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT NO. 1-64, OF THE CITY OF REDWOOD CITY, seconded by Council- man Rosselli and carried on roll call vote. Councilman Petersen moved to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 5619 APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF AGREEMENT WITH STATE OF CALIFORNIA RELATING TO RALSTON AVENUE INTERCHANGE IMPROVEMENTS, seconded by Councilman Bury. Staff report stated agreement being the standard "freeway agreement", provides for the construction of the connecting roadway between the Ralston Interchange and Ralston Parkway. City Manager amplified further the facts which had been included in his report to the Council; that freeway agreement only related to the land inside of Redwood City corporate limits with State agreeing to con- struct from their contingent fund the two diagonal ramps on the Easterly side of Bayshore to extend to the box culvert being built by Leslie Properties, Inc., under the participation agreement for some $160,000, and two connecting loops Westerly of Bayshore. He advised that because of being funded from Division of Highways contingency funds, it would not affect any other projects which had been assigned priorities or at present in the planning stages. He also advised of the exchange of properties agreed to by Leslie Properties, Inc, with the State without compensation, for needed rights-of-way for re- alignment necessary to meet the requirements of Marine World. In reply to questioning as to costs to City, City Manager advised 1100' of roadway construc- tion is to be funded other than by the State, and advised of the negotiations with other cities involved and the County for participation in costs, City's source of funds is to be from gas tax funds, estimate of costs being around $100,000. He stated County Engineer had indicated he would recommend that County parti- cipate in 50% of the costs, which would leave only half of costs to be divided by other participating cities of Belmont, San Carlos and Redwood City. Discussion held concerning possibility that it might be better if Marine World opening scheduled for July 4th be withheld until better access is completed because of the traffic problems which would be involved, and suggestion was made that this possibility be discussed with them.
