Under the question, Councilman Britschgi asked if it'would be possible to make any changes in the salaries if the ordinance was adopted at this time. He stated he would like to consider the salary of the City Manager further inasmuch as he was not in favor of only a $15 raise.

City Manager Blom suggested that the ordinance be adopted at this meeting and if any change were made it could be done by an amend- ment.

CITY ATTORNEY CURRIE PRESENTED A RESOLUTION WHICH HAD BEEN PREPARED BY Kirkbridge & Wilson in regard to the inclusion of Redwood Village in .the North Fair Oaks sewerage district. The terms of the agreement would provide that Redwood Village be under the jurisdiction of the County rather than the city but which means this district would share the expense of the sewage treatment plant. If this area were to be under the jurisdiction of the city, this district would not have to participate in the cost of the plant due to the fact that it was annexed to the city after the i bond issue was passed. The City Attorney advised that he had checked the resolu- tion and all papers and they were in order. Councilman Werder offered resolution and, moved its adoption providing that Redwood Village remain in the jurisdiction 1 of the County of San Mateo insofar as the sewage district is concerned. The motion j was seconded by Councilman Holmquist and on roll call resolution was unanimously adopted.
