• RJC.ek.2 /27/61 -10 RE S GLUT I ON NO. 3315 RESOLUTION INDICATING OPPOSITION AND APPROVAL OF CERTAIN DESIGNATED PROPOSED LEGISLATION BEFORE THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDWOOD CITY, AS FOLLOWS: 1. The Council of the City of Redwood City does hereby record its opposition to the following proposed legislation introduced at the 1961 General Session of the Legislature of the State of California: (a) A.B. 1354. This bill would detrimentally affect the public interest and welfare of the citizens of the City of Redwood City by limiting the present authority of the City of Redwood City to regulate the use of its residential streets by heavy trucking. (b) S.B. 203. The Council of the City of Redwood City is not in accord with the position that public agencies exercising the power of eminent domain should be required to pay moving expenses in addition to reasonable market value of the property acquired. Public funds should not, in the opinion of this Council, be expended for other than value received. (c) A.B. 441. This bill would prevent redevelopment of any blighted area unless and until the redevelopment plan was approved by a majority of the voters residing within the boundaries of the propsoed project area. In the opinion of this Council the bill ignores the over -all public interest of the remainder of the citizens and taxpayers of the City and also ignores the interest of non - resident property owners who would not be permitted to vote concerning the future of their property. It is felt that the present hearing requirements and other limitations contained in re- development legislation are adequate to protect the interest of all parties concerned. 2. The Council of the City of Redwood City does hereby record its support and urges adoption of A.B. 160, which would require publicly owned utilities to give notice of and provide hearings for any rate increases. 3. The Clerk of the City of Redwood City is hereby authorized and directed to forward certified copies of this resolution to Senator Richard J. Dolwig; Assemblyman Carl A. Britschgi; Assembly- man John Beaver, Chairman, Assembly Committee on Transportation and Commerce; and Richard Carpenter, Executive Director, League of California Cities.
