NOES: Councilmen: NONE ABSENT: Councilmen: NONE RALPH S. DODGE APPROVED: W. W. HILTON Mayor of the City of Redwood City City Clerk Councilman Armstrong stated that he had no wish to sell bonds which will not be used for a long time but he did feel that some of the projects which had been voted upon in the last election should be begun. Upon the advice of City Manager Blom that a maximum of $280,000 could be expended•on these projects for the balance of the year, he moved, seconded by Councilman Fletcher, that $200,000 of bonds be sold at this time with the hope and expectation that this sum can be used in this year. Motion passed unanimously. City Manager Blom reported that Beech Street Between El Camino Real and Stambaugh Street is in good condition as far as a temporary street is concerned. The street can be improved to a permanent status by construction of concrete curbs and gutters and a minimum.amount of base construction. Councilman Britechgi was of the opinion that this street and Lathrop Street should be put in a condition comparable to the other streets in the city, and moved, seconded by Councilman Armstrong, that the City Manager be instructed to bring in a report at the nest meeting as to what would be required to make this a permanent street. Motion passed unanimously,. Councilman Armstrong stated that he believed the ordinance allowing chickens in the first residential district should be rescinded but that in view of the present scarcity of eggs and.meat that perhaps the effective date of the ordinance should be put ahead and suggested April 30th for the effective date and Councilman Fletcher moved, seconded by Councilman Anderson, that the matter be placed on the agenda for the next meeting.
