MAYOR HERKNER ADDRESSED THE COUNCIL AND AUDIENCE POINTING OUT THAT THIS MARKS THE FIRST ANNIVERSARY OF THE PRESENT COUNCIL, making recommendations regarding future plans of the City of Redwood City. The Mayor's recommendations were with reference, to appro- priate disbursement of balances in the various funds totaling $529,468.00 as listed: Water Department Cash $144,034.00 Water Department 1951 Bonds 144,075.00 Off- Street Parking Cash 110,000.00 Police Building 1955 Bonds 23,500.00 Off- Street Parking 1914 Bonds 21,500.00 Yacht Harbor 19114 Bonds 11,500.00 Capital Fund 74,859.00 $5 It is the Mayor's belief that the Council feels these funds should be used to make much needed capital improvements, some of which are as follows: WATER DEPARTMENT Improve and increase the capacity of the system, particularly the mains that have been recommended by the Board of Fire Underwriters. II RESERVOIR Our storage capacity is less than one days supply and consideration should be given to obtaining a site in one of the areas suggested by Mr. Adamson. POLICE DEPARTMENT A smaller building than originally anticipated might take care of the City's need for several years and could be financed partly out of current funds and the balance out of the residue of the 1944 Bond funds. YACHT HARBOR IMPROVEMENTS Considerable thought has been given this in the past, and it may be possible now to get a major start on the project.
