48 ordinance providing for double parking in certain cases. City Attorney Mo= Carthy advised he would bring in such an amendment at the next meeting. Councilman Armstrong moved, seconded by Councilman Granger, introduction of ordinance providing for installation of parking meters with changes as di- rected. Motion passed unanimously. City Manager Blom reported that he had attended a meeting in Redwood Village to j 1 discuss with residents a plan they were making to have some type of fire pro- tection.' They were proceeding with the idea of annexing to the Menlo Park Fire District. However, it was not believed worthwhile for the Menlo Park Fire District to take them in due to the distance, etc., and it was felt more il desirable to annex to Redwood City. Mr. Blom advised them that he believed the Council would look with favor upon a petition for annexation to the city. The improvement sr are not 1n accordance with our specifications but were put in according to county specifications. They differ from our specifications in that they nave the rolled type combined curb, gutter and sidewalks and all light poles are installed in the street.
