Upon roll call the following Councilmen were present: Councilmen Harold F. Anderson,° s E. A. Fletcher, Wm. Hohn, Robert N. Jones, Paul A. McCarthy, Geo. W. McNulty, Mayor L. C. Christensen, and City Clerk B. E. Myers. The minutes of the meeting of April 19, after slight change, were approved on motion of Councilman McCarthy, seconded by Councilman Hohn. A discussion was had concerning the insurance carried by Mr. Vandervort covering the operation of his bus. The certificate of insurance submitted showed a covering for public liability of only $5,000/10,000 with Lloyd's. This was not considered satis- factory from two standpoints: (1) Lloyd's coverage, and (2) the amount. It was decided, on motion of Councilman Fletcher, seconded by Councilman McNulty, that the present insurance be accepted provided the amount be changed to $50100,000 and that the present coverage would continue only until satisfactory adjustment could be made with acceptable insurance carriers. C. G. Uhlenberg, special city auditor, submitted 3 copies of an accounting system report covering revised classification of accounts for the Port of Redwood City. As the content was more or less technical, the Council, on motion of Councilman McCarthy, seconded by Councilman Anderson, left the matter in the hands of City Manager Dimmitt, H. A. Beeger of the Port Commission, and the City Treasurer. 1 -9 1 The Clean Up Committee, by its chairman and secretary, in a letter dated May 2,requested the Council to institute condemnation proceedings against the following structures: Barn - 1300 block Middlefield Road Shack- 936 Fulton House & Shed- 331 Heller Building- 2061 Broadway It was decided, on motion of Councilman McCarthy, seconded by Councilman Anderson, to receive and file the letter, and the clerk was instructed to notify the owners to show cause why the particular buildings should not be removed.
