MATTERS OF COUNCIL INTEREST <br />1. Councilwoman LaBerge referred to the intersection on Seaport Boulevard /East <br />Bayshore Road which has only three stop signs instead of four and is causing <br />traffic problems. She said she realized it was under the jurisdiction of <br />CALTRANS and asked if the City could install some kind of a "caution" sign to <br />warn motorist of the situation. <br />Traffic Engineer Gee advised that his office will be doing a traffic count in <br />that location and will be sending an encroachment permit aapplication to the <br />State shortly. <br />2. Mayor Claire reported that after five weeks of negotiations with the San <br />Francisco 49er, the 49ers decided to accept the offer from the City of Santa <br />Clara for a 10 -acre site next to Great America. <br />Mayor Claire listed three issues that were difficult to overcome: <br />1. The $1.5 to $1.7 million cash the City needed to buy the Belmont School <br />site for a City park; <br />2. The City could only offer the 49ers an 8 -acre site and they wanted from <br />10 to 12; <br />3. Negotiations with the City would take at least three months and the <br />49ers will have access to the Santa Clara site immediately. <br />Councilman Bury commended Mayor Claire for the outstanding effort he made <br />towards keeping the 49ers in Redwood City. Vice Mayor Chandler agreed and <br />said that the Mayor kept the Council appraised at all times regarding the <br />negotiations. <br />---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - - - - -- <br />BOARD, COMMISSION AND COMMITTEE REPORTS <br />5.
