I I hereby approve the foregoing Resolution this. 18th day of March, 1946. W. W. HILTON Mayor of the City of Redwood City In regard to•Poplar Avenue Subdivision, Acting City Engineer Randlett advised that the subdivider, Mr. Hogg, had made arrangements with the Planning Commission which were approved by the Council .to file a map, install sewers and street work and be given building permits as he desired to build on this street. There was a misunderstanding about filing the final map, however, the Ooun- oil had approved the issuance of building permits. There is some ligiga- tion in regard to this'subdivision and the building has stopped. The street work has not been done but there is $2500 posted for this work. Councilman Britschgi was of the opinion that inasmuch as the -money was deposited for the street work the subdivider should be forced to put in the street. Ooun- oilman Granger believed it would be in order to refer the matter to the . i City Attorney to consult with Attorney O'Keefe, who is the attorney fQ the people instituting the suit against the subdivider. It was City Manager Blom's opinion that $2500 might not cover.the cost of the street work. Councilman Britschgi moved, seconded by Councilman Fletcher, that the City j- Manager be instructed to review the matter to see what can be done to start laying the'street and sewers in this district and the pity Attorney be in- structed to contact the attorney for the people in the district who are instituting the suit against the subdivider. Motion passed unanimously. City Clerk Dodge asked if the Council wished to send description of proposed j Charter amendmentsvwith the sample ballots for the coming election. It was the general consensus that this should be done. It was also decided that material sbmitted against the amendments should also be mailed with the sample ballots. Councilman Armstrong moved, seconded by Councilman Granger, that.a pamphlet describing the Charter amendments to be submit- ted to the`voters at the April election be sent out with sample ballots j and also any pamphlet against such amendments. Motion passed unanimously. i Councilman Granger offered resolution of preliminary intention covering improve- ments at Jefferson, Quartz, Vera and Taft Streets, -seconded by Councilman Britschgi. On roll mall, resolution was unanimously adopted. City Attorney McCarthy adked if the Council wished individual notices sent to property owners in regard to the above improvements.
