VARSI, 2455 El Camino Real, Suite 2, San Mateo, requested permission to 245 connect a temporary line to Stambaugh Street main sewer, had discussed this with City Engineer Jain and was willing to deposit x;400 cash escrow as guarantee until a sewer district was established and to install temporary line at his own expense. After discussion it was moved by Councilman Holmquist, seconded by Councilman Spillers that City Attorney Curried prepare an agreement, motion carried. A petition had been circulated for improvements but signatures were not obtained and it had been dropped.

COUNCILMAN MORGANS REPORT ON FRANKLIN STREET placed on the agenda. SWIP11MING POOLE COb1MITTEE REPORT BY COUNCILMAN SPILLERS. The committee visited the pools at Salinas and Livermore. The Livermore pool was 42 x 821 6" which cost was $60,000 and the other pool at Salinas 50 x 100 cost 0175,000. He asked City Attorney Currie if a portion of funds could be used for the swimming pool from the Community Park fund and City Attorney Currie thought they could if expended in that area. Council- man Spillers noted that 442,000 was available and that $18,000 additional transferred to the swimming pool would be sufficient to cover the project. Councilman Holmquist moved that City Manager Rolison contact the architect at Livermore for plans and specifications to be prepared by the City Engineer along lines suggested by the committee and preliminary figures submitted, seconded by Councilman Granger, and carried. ROBERT L. MASTERS, 948 - 5th Avenue, appeared in regard to heavy trucks and the speed of same on 5th Avenue, between Bayshore and Bay Road. On discussion it was found the City had no control over streets. A committee had been suggested at one time to establish truck routes but nothing had been done. The speed limit'could'be enforced and Councilman Spillers suggested 15 mile limit to slow trucks down. The problem was referred to the Traffic Fact Finding Committee to report back at the first meeting in August. MR. NORMAN MENEFEE APPEARED IN BEHALF OF MR. PETER SORENSEN and declared he was adversely affected by publicity relative to the testing of sewage lines. Letters were read from Mr. Sorensen stating his case and a letter from Frost & Brian as to the require- ments of specifications and that the job was not acceptable in their opinion. Men were at the meeting to testify and explain the work done for the City but inasmuch as representatives of Frost & Brian were not there it was proposed to meet at an adjourned meeting July 25th with the engineers in charge of the project.
