<br />�r� Lusk ppeared and stated he noticed in the agreement reference to the extension of Vir- (, I
<br />OI{ Avenue beyond the limits of the subdivision into -Poplar Avenue. This was included in I� I
<br />ginia as the Planning Commission felt Virginia Avenue should be continued in order IrI'
<br />the agreement, . ,
<br />mere , to diVert some of the traffic from Hampton Avenue. Virginia Avenue was about 1 2 mile long �! ! . ',+
<br />several streets running into it but no outlet. One owner of a corner lot would sell for �I
<br />th0o€lt ; with plus bond improvements, but the partyon the other side of the street wanted 1800. He
<br />7 t this was too great a price to improve their lots with paving. s
<br />though g Mr. Jain also brought
<br />tokezP out the fact that the storm and sewage lines would drain down on Poplar Avenue into a small
<br />s,
<br />6" se1er and that if the people in this area were providing this outlet, the subdivider s7gould ? ;'
<br />be willing to extend Virginia Avenue. The sewage problem could be serious if we should have a
<br />downpour of rain such as happened last Saturday. Mr. Jain did not recommend a change in the a re ! I.
<br />at without the concurrence of the Planning Commission. It was suggested p g r . 4 ;
<br />ment ggested the subdivider �t Y;,�
<br />in the street, but not the curb and sidewalk in order to reduce some pfythe expense on his
<br />ake art- tir. Jain stated a precedent had been established on this, as Mur h Construction had # 1�,
<br />the Council and Planning Commission to extend Carson Street and Rooseveltil,C
<br />!' been required by g � 1I !fj �'!,� !
<br />write Avenue- Councilman Morgan moved that the Council follow the recommendation of the Planningi
<br />Commission with the elimination of sidewalks and driveway drops from the agreement, seconded

<br />ag paragraph providing that bond
<br />agreement should be made between subdivider and -City with respect to the water system prior i I !':"!`;!', i'
<br />to installation, and he called the attention of the Council and Mr. Lusk to this as this
<br />provision was included in- the agreement for Woodside Terrace #2 also, but nothing has been;!!:�
<br />done as to the refund agreement��for water installation by the .subdivider. Councilman Jones !'
<br />moved that the word subsequent be substituted for pr6or - to installation, but after fur-
<br />.ople Councilman Jones then -moved that original motion be amen-

<br />REST BY L. C SMITH, EXTENSION OF TIME ON WHIPPLE AVENUE IMPROVEMENTS. 25 working days were
<br />requested on Nov. 2nd and the Council referred this to the City Engineer at the Nov. 4th meet-
<br />Ing- Mr. Jain submitted a communication to the effect that his department did not object to
<br />the granting of the extension but wished to call to the Council's attention that wort on all
<br />the projects by L. C. Smith hould have been accelerated considerably whichvould have resulted
<br />I- considerable more work beingdone than had actuallyocurred, and for that reason, it was
<br />believed that the City Council should determine the plicy on extension of the contracts ez-
<br />eept where actual weather conditions had prevented compliance with the required time limits.
<br />Nr- Jain had received a multitude of calls from people who could not get into their garages -
<br />The Job was about half completed. City Engineer could only suggest to the Contractor that
<br />they proceed with the work. One contractor was paving streets first on pne project and this
<br />enabled residents toet to their homes. Whipple Ave. project could have been done a asily
<br />in the 25 days. Extension would have to be granted for the recent bad weather. Councilman
<br />Granger moved that request be denied as the contract provided for extension of time when wea-
<br />ther had to be considered seconded b Councilman Jones. Councilman Morgan thought them ex-
<br />tension of time should begrantedas the Council was to blame for giving contracts to the same
<br />contractor who couldn't handle them. Cit Eng. Jain informed the Council that Smith had taken
<br />amore contracts In other cities, and that San Carlos, San Mateo and Palo Alto received bids
<br />Councilman
<br />from two contractors only, the same as Redwood City.
<br />On roll call, motion was lost,
<br />Granger and Jones voting yes, Councilman Royer and Spillers noted absent. Councilman Morgan
<br />nor that extension of 25 days be granted, seconded by Councilman Herkner. Councilman Herk-
<br />wished to know from Mr. Jain wheuher the job would require 109 15 or 25 days. Mr. Jain
<br />thought it was difficult to determine from now on what would be considered a working day and
<br />he refused to be responsible for the contractor laying pavement on mud, and he had used up -
<br />the contract. Councilman Herkner thought the Council should have some method of controlling
<br />Jobs. Notion carried, , Councilmen Granger and Jones voting no.
