1 Engineering Department returned with computations of bids on paving of California 6 Square. The bid of Peter Sorensen was the low bid although there was an error in one extension which increased the total amount of the bid $37.50, or to $9392.45. It, was the recommendation of the City Manager that Mr. Sorensen's Bid be -accepted. Coun oilman Granger moved, seconded by Councilman McNulty, that the bid for improvements of California Square be awarded to Peter Sorensen in the amount of $9392.45 and that bidders' check and bonds be released to the unsuccessful bidders. Motion passed unanimously. In answer to an inquiry as to the completion date of the work, City Manager Blom advised that the contract calls for completion by July 3, 1947. City Manager Blom advised that there was a petition presented to annex 107 acres of indus- trial land below the National Motor Bearing Company. The Engineering Department had checked and discovered a few discrepancies in the description and the corrections had not as yet been presented in a new description. The city owns two acres in the area and it is proposed that the city put these -two acres up for sale allowing the subdivider to bid and include them in the area to be annexed. This property is the same as referred to in the Planning Commission recommendation earlier in the meeting and for which the tenantive map was not presented. City Attorney McCarthy advised that in regard to the two acres owned by the -city, the procedure as suggested by the City Manager would be legal and would eliminate prolonged legal procedure for Its annexation. It was -the general consensus that the two city owned acres should be included in the proceedings. Councilman Granger offered resolution of intention to annex property known as the Redwood City Industrial Tract and moved its_adoption, seconded by Councilman McNulty. On roll call, resolution was unanimously adopted.
