Minutes of Weekly Study Meeting Redwood City Council May 2, 1966 7:30 P. M. Meeting called to order at 7:30 P. M. by Mayor Herkner. Councilman Rosselli asked that a review be made on the weed abatement program at next weeks Study Meeting and expressed his dissatisfaction with program in various areas. (Memo 5/3/66) Councilman Henderson asked that a review of the tree spraying program be included. City Manager stated a report would be made by the Park Dept. (Memo 5/3/66) Councilman Rosselli questioned Staff recommendation for denying street name change from Northumberland to Boicelli as felt long established family should be recognized. City Manager stated recommendation for denial of this request based on fact Northumberland Avenue westerly of Cypress Street is developed, and if the street name were to be changed it would mean changing the addresses of residents on the developed portion of Northumberland Avenue without having given them an opportunity to state their pre- ference. Discussion held on possibility of naming another street in the area for Boicelli family which would not change existing street numbers, Fox Court being one of streets men- tioned. It was pointed out the Boicelli name was originally used on a street which had never been dedicated although it had been shown on earlier maps. Mr. Boicelli appeared to stress fact that one portion of Northumberland is in the City Limits and other portion in County unincorporated area and felt change of street name as requested would clarify situation. Councilman Keckley asked for information on the civic activities of the Boicelli family in order to help him make a decision. (Memo 5/3/66) Council asked that this item be continued for one week in order Staff might make further study on the suggestions made. (Memo 5/3/66) Councilman Henderson questioned date of Committee meeting on State College site and was advised by Councilman Rosselli meeting would be set this week.
