DODGE Clerk of the City of Redwood City I hereby certify that the foregoing resolution was duly and regularly passed by the city council of the City of Redwood City at a regular meeting thereof held June 19th, 1950 - RALPH S. vtillGb; Clerk of the City of Redwood City CITY ENGINEER REQUEST FOR POLICY ON RECONSTRUCTION OF ASPHALT AND DIRT GUTTERS. Many complaints had been received about policy of resurfacing streets without recon- struction of gutters. This had proven almost impossible and would be uneconomical. The only practical answer to the problem would be for the Council to order the formation of an area -wide assessment district to provide for the construction of v concrete gutters over all those streets where none now existed in the City Engineerls� Opinion. Various other cities were establishing such assessment districts. City r Manager and Engineer had an area in mind, but this was to be considered at an infor-j mal meeting at the suggestion of the Mayor and more facts and figures presented to the Council.

City Clerk was authorized to accept deed on motion of Councilman Spillers, seconded by Councilman 1 Jones and carried. i BID ON LAMP CONTRACT. Specifications were set up with the intention of buying longer life lamps.,and cutting down time for maintenance work as well as reducing cost of { lamps. Previously purchased lamps had 2000 hour rating, this year's specifications were set up for 4000 hour rating. The chart was attached showing comparison costs. Longer life lamps cost approximately 50% more than the conventional lamps, but only half as many lamps would have to be purchased, allowing a saving of 25% in cost of I lamps alone. The intention was not to eliminate anyone from the bid but a matter of saving in labor. This was the Fire Chief's recommendation concurred in by the City Manager. Lamps would come from New Jersey, and there was some objection that no one locally would be able to bid. As there was a month's supply on hand it was moved by Councilman Granger that action be deferred on recommendation at this time,' seconded by Councilman Spillers and carried. MR. SYDNEY D.
