� 4� :� �rogram. It was the consensus of o�inion that everything possible should be done to eliminate anything that would stand in the way of further annexations . Motion carried. Councilman Royer discussed the situation in the Emerald Lake area in which the County Health Department had served notices to abate sanitary nuisances. These people would not want to go into an assessment district if they are forced to spend considerable money for ,,.� new septic tanks . In his opinion it would be in order for the City to contact the Health � Department in an effort to coordinate the program and a11ow sewer connections , especially for areas within 500 or 600 feet of sewer lines. These people might be interested in petitioning annexation rather than heavy expenses noted above. �.�� APPLICATION FOR U�ED CAR PERr��'IT, W. H. SMITH at 145C El Camino Real . Use Permit approved by the Planning Commission. Mr . Walter H. Smith of 626 Bucke�-e Street appeared before the +�_. Council regarding his request for a used car dealers permit. City Clerk Dod�e has pub- lished notices as required by Ordinance No. 593 and the date of public hearing has been set for March 8th. Mr . Smith explained that he was unable to proceed under the circum- stances but was informed that there appeared to be no objections to the permit unless his past record wo�ld prove to stand in the way. COMMUNICATION Or THE PENINSULA PAINTING CONZ'RACTORS ASSOCIATION was read by the Clerk solicit- ing the business of painting electroliers for paint contractors instead of continuing the present practice of painting by City employees . City Manager Rolison received four quotations from local contractors running from �'].90 to approximately ;p12 .00 each which quotation covered wire brushing� �rime coats and one or two coats of paint. City Engineer Jain was of the opinion that our own maintainance crews could take better care of elec- �' troliers because of the fact that condition of electroliers was of different degrees , �� some in fair condition� some in good condition� and it would be difficutl to establish a price because more work was necessary on some than on others . After considerable discussion, City Manager Rolison recommended continuation of our present practice as in his opinion it was in the interest of tax payers so to do. Based on the recent quotation at the lower price offer the cost to paint 1000 electroliers would approximate ��,000, which appropriation was not included in the budget. He also stated that the men doing this work were full time employees and should the jobs be contracted these men could not be laid off, therefore, they would have to be used in another type of work. Councilman Jones moved that the City Manager' s recommendation be accepted, seconded by Councilman Royer who stated that the Council could do nothing but accept the City Manager ' s recom- mendation eben though they would favor letting out the work to contractors if such would ,,,�,. prove feasible. Councilman Royer stated further that if the contractors can convince �� the City Manager that they could do the work economically and at a savings to the tax payers he felt sure that arrangements could be made. In reply to comments to painting contractors present� it was agreed that the City Manager would advertise for bids when- ,.._� ever possible. Motion carried. Councilman Royer then moved that the City Council go on record as facoring the letting out of contracts whenever feasible to do so� seconded by �� Councilman Herkner and carried.
