Laeomarsino had compl~ed with requested . conditions for annexation. Mr. Lagomarsino refused to sign unless he could be given assurance of the completion of all street improve- - ments on his corner of Olivina and Rincon. As bonding is impossible on property not owned by the ~erson requesting the hond, it was suggested that the money for the improvements be put in escrow. If this procedure is not satisfactory to Mr. Lagomarsino, the Beckers requested permission to connect 45 homes to the City sewer; application is filed with the City Clerk. Proposed Annexation (Kaufiman) Mr. M. C. Kauffman presented to the Council a 25 ac~e subdivision map of approximately 111j homes; the property is hounded by Rincon Ave., Liver~ore Plvd. and the North City line. He wished the Council to consider annexing this property to the City. There are many problems that should first be considered; a porticn of the - property is in the direct line of the airport flight pattern a~d a sewer pump would have to be installed to accomodate the sut:division. Mr. Kauffman was informed that this matter would take considerable thought before a decision could he reached. Mr. Kauffman was requested to submit a contour map of the area to be annexed. Acquisition of Airport City Attorney H. M. Callaghan read the sRmple contract re- ceived from the Civil Aeronautics Administration. The City would have to maintain the airport as it now stands and hefore any part of the property is leased, the approval of the C.A.A. mURt be obtained. In case of emercency it is subject to reCaT'ltllre "by the [overnment. In order to assist in makin[ R decision in the acquisition of this air~ort, ~flayor Gardella, Counci 1m an Carter and Ci ty A tt,orney r-- Callaghan visited the Chico airport which had been acquired in a similar marmer. The mRnager of the Chico airport advised the City to try to have the recapture clause eliminated from the contract. It is difficult to interest anyone in investing in this property when it can be recaptured hy the government at any time. 72 FE8. 21953 It was decided the first thing to be done is to renegotiate with the C.A.A. to release parts of the property from the recapture clause. The City Attorney was to check with the Hayward airport to obtain information on how their airport is operated and what type contract they have. Clara Anderson of 1800 Broadway, San Francisco Rnd Dagmar D Scheib of 325 Rowena Blvd., San Francisco a~peared before the Council protesting the recent application of the Rodeo Association to lease a portion of the property ~r a new Rodeo stadium. Miss Anderson and Mrs. Scheib were informed that their protest at this time was out of order as the airport did not yet belong to the City but that they might file a written protest with the City Clerk which would then be on file when and if the City acquires the air- port.

Resolution #4130 RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LIVERMORE URGING STATE ADOPTION OF SENATE BILL 1344 WITH CERTAIN AMENDMENTS, RESOLVED by the Council of the City of Livermore that this Council go on record as supporting and urging the immed~ate adoption or Senate Bill 1344 approppiately amended to allow a retailer a credit of 1% against sales tax of all sales made within a city having an ordinance which levies a saleK tax measured by gross receipts from sales of tangible personal property of not more nor less than l%, and appropriately amended to allow a retailer a credit against use tax of 1% of the sales price in all cities having an ordinance which levies a tax on storage, use, or other cons~ption in said municipality of tangible personal property purchased from any retailer of not more mor l'ess than 1% of the sales price. IT IS FURTHER RESOLVED that the following arguments are presented in support of this resolution: 1. The Bill, sponsored by the California Retailers Assoc'n., is not a tax increase measure in either purpose or effect but is designed to achieve much needed uniformity of tax and tax procedure throughout the state. All cities in the state have the legally unregulated power to levy sales and use taxes and substantially all cities have already done so, an ever increasing number of them in the full amount of 1% referred to in the Bill. 2. Senate Bill 1344 is specifically so worded that with the sole amendment proposed by this resolution it cannot be, and city support thereof cannot be, construed as endorsement of forfeiture of local autonomy, a subvention, subjecting city sales and use tax to approriation by the state, nor permitting amy basis of accounting between cities and counties other than that the tax be fully returned to each in accordance with actual source of " collection. As so amended, the Bill merely constitutes a device for: econony, by unification eliminating duplication of collection and" administration; equity, by elimination of unfair advantages now enjoyed by a few retailers solely as a result of local sales and use tax free geographic location of place of business; and convenience, by elimination of the current multiplicity of required reports and returns. 3. The Bill as so amended represents the limits of any such proposal for uniformity of sales and use tax throughout the state which could receive substantial city support; however, it would return sufficient moneys to the counties throughout the state to provide much needed r~lief to present high ad valorem tax levies against property within the state. 4. The tax can be collected and returns audited by the State Board of Equalization in the manner and at the time of collection and audit of state sales and use tax without additional cost' to the state. ." l?" f~' . . , .., : ~~ s.~. ...." ...

Malcolm of the Alameda County Health Dept. spoke on the three measures which have been introduced into the California State Legislature. The three measures being - pasteurization of milk; rabies control and health service to unorganized areas. The City Attorney was .instructed to prepare a resolution endorsing said measures. Appropriate Additional Money for Trip The following resolution was read and introduced by Councilman Carter, seconded by Councilman Windhusen, and by the following called vote was passed: Ayes--Councilmen Carter, Thompson, Windhusen and Mayor Gardella; Noes--none; Absent-- -- Councilman Callaghan. Resolution #4131 WHEREAS this Council did on March 16, 1953 by its Resolution No. 4128 appropriate the sum of $300.00 to defray the costs of returning Albert DiSabatino from New Orleans to Livermore for criminal prosecution, and WHEREAS the cost of transportation of said Albert DiSabatino has cost $372.00, and therefore further money is required to de- fray the cost of returning the said Albert DiSabatino for criminal prosecution, NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the further sum of $200.00 be and the same is hereby appropriated from the General Fund of the City of Livermore to be paid to the Chief of Police of the City of Livermore for the purpose herein designated. Proposed Annexation ( Becker ) City Attorney R. M. Callaghan presented to the Council a resolution to be passed and adopted, to provide for annexation of lots 15 and 16 of the Mountain View Tract, together with a portion of Olivina Avenue and Rincon Avenue. The description of the area sought to be annexed by this resolution was not submitted bya registered Civil Engineer or Land Surveyor under his sig- nature and seal as being the true and correct description of the area sought to be annexed, but was furnished by Mr. Alvin Becker, and Mr. Callaghan therefore disclaimed any knowledge of its accuracy and would not accept the responsibility for its use in the resolution. The City Council informed Mr. Becker that he must, at his own expense, provide the Council with a bouhdary description of the entire area to be annexed, under signature and seal of a lU~ MAR231953 registered Civil Engineer; also maps for recording the said annex- ation and to be forwarded to the Secretary of State for approval. Reduce Fire Rates A letter was received from the Pacific Fire Rating Bureau stating the fire rates in Livermore have been reduced from Class 7 to Class 6. Fire Chief Al Bonne stated he believed, considering ~ the City's general record, their fire protection equipment and proposed equipment, the rate should at least be Class 5. Mr. Bonne was to check with other cities on their ratings. Council Reports Councilman Windhusen spoke on the need for additional help in the Building Inspection Department. There has been an increase in every department but the building department and due to the sudden growth of the city, there should be another man hired to help the inspector keep a close check on all building being done within the city. A discussion was also held on whenher or not it would be an advantage to the city to hire a City Engineer which might relieve some of the burden on the Building Inspector. No action was taken at this time but the ~ matter would be given serious consideration. Bothwell Memorial Ceremony Mayor Gardella stated the Bothwell Memorial ceremon~ has been tentatively set for Sunday, April 12th. All necessary arrange- ments are being made for a program.

Eugene Muirbrook lOl-C Vila Gulf, Livermore C. H. Smith - Operator of Service Station near airport O. E. Meyers Rt. 1, Box 547, Livermore The main points brought out by the proponents were: The airport would be capable of paying its own way, part of the property could be used for farming and the buildings could be rented. Land not needed for airport purposes could be deleted from the recapture clause. There is no evidence that land values are reduced; in some places values increase , others decrease. All revenue derived from the operation of the airport would have to be :! I I used for maintenance and improvement of the airport. Two points brought out strongly were these: The City in acquiring the airport now, could then control the property, the traffic could be regulated by the City, also the flight pattern. No control could be exercised if the port is in the hands of an- other political subdivision or the military. It would be to the advantage of both the City and valley to control the field; with the City growing in population there should be an airport in the vicinity also agriculture has many uses for planes today, including crop dusting, and having an air field here is to the advantage of the farming sections in the area. Also mentioned was the leasing of property not used for airport - I I I I purposes to industry. If the City takes the airport and then finds they do not wish to continue to operate it, they may relinquish all claim and return the property to the Civil Aeronautics Administration. Some of the points brought out by the flyers now using the field are as follows: '\ 154 JUN 221953 The City has one of the best airpo~ts for a town of its size, has ideal climate with very little fog. Many private flyers are being forced out of larger airports and are coming to Livermore. At the present time 30 planes are based here. and there is room for further development. Mr. Rex Kimberling stated that if the City is dubious about airport paying for itself, he would be willing to put up a cash bond, pay rent in advance and the insurance. Those opposed to the airport were as follows: Cyril Appel - Attorney for Mrs. Dagmar Brusco Scheib and Miss Clara Anderson 8 58 Sutter St., S. F. Martin Kauffman - Livermore Blvd., Livermore Saul Siegel 572 Rincon Ave., Livermore Mrs. Denise Thibault 425 Andrews St., Livermore The main points brought out by the opponents were':. { It was suggested that the airport was economically unsound as the City is not large enough to support and maintain an airport without it's becoming a tax burden. Land values would be reduced as a result of the airport and it would be a nuisance to residents ~ lj 1n the vicinity. There would also be the possibility of industrlal development in connection with the field which would be undesirable to people living in the residential area, and the airport would be a detriment to further residential growth. Those present in opposition to the airport felt that the issue should be put on the ballot so that the people would have an opportunity to vote either for or against the issue. Two letters were read, one from the Livermore Rodeo Ass)n. withdrawing, at the present time, their application for a portion of land for a new stadium site. And from the Livermore Elementary School District stating the School Board had applied for 30 acres of the property on Sept. 1, 1952, when they were informed the property had been declared surplus; so far they have had no definite information on their application. m .':':t;,;.1 ~ ~ ':'" ; " ',. ':. . ./:... ' .... "'''.'~'~ ;~,Hi>, it, .. .' ~~..~,<!,~'.vil"" JUN 221953 155 Mr. Elmo Buttle, Chief of Disposal Division, General Services Administration was present to answer any questions anyone might have. ~ben questioned in regard to the application of the Liver- more Elementary School District for 30 acres, Mr. Buttle stated I; l I that when the above mentioned application was made, the property was not in surplus, therefore the application was placed on file. At the time the airport property was declared surplus, the Civil Aeronautics Administration became the agency with the task of finding a political subdivision which would accept the property and maintain it as an airport. rr every possibility in this direction has been exhausted and t he property cannot be disposed of for airport purposes, the application for 30 acres by the Livermore Elementary School District would be granted. The balance of the acreage would then be sold at public auction. n Mr. Euttle urged the Council to make a decision as soon as possible as the offer had been under consideration since November, 1952, a longer period than usually allowed for the disposition of surplus property. Mayor Gardella thanked those attending the meeting for their views on the matter and assured those present that full consideration of all material presented would be given by the Council in arriving at a final decision.

The minutes of the previous meeting were dispensed with. D Discussion on Agreement with Recreation District Mayor Gardella requested City Attorney R. M. Callaghan to state briefly the position of the City in the matter to be dis- cussed: Mr. Callaghan stated that the agreement which existed between the City and the Recreation District was entered into in 1950, at the time the present Recreation District was formed. At the time the Recreation Park was turned over to the District, there existed a Recreation BUilding, donated to the City, bleachers; turfed soft- ball diamond and fenced tennis courts with a fence also extending partially around the block. The agreement also provided for $100.00 per month payment to defray the cost of a caretaker.

The City now feels that the District should be self supporting, and taxpayers residing within the City should not be doubly taxed for the support of the District. Dr. Jacob Frankel than spoke on behalf of the Recreation - District stressing the following points: l I 1. Double taxation existed in 1950 as it does now in 1953. 2. If the City did not contribute, raise in tax rate might be necessary. 3. The City was justified in asking for a revaluation of the project, and felt that a longer lease might be more satisfactory. The turf might possibly have to be let go, however Dr. Frankel felt, personally, that it should be maintained, and in all probability would be. Dr. Frankel also felt that the lease should be longer, enabling the Recreation District to make capital investments, which are now impossible. The extreme Southeast corner could be developed for a multiple-use area, also other capital investment which could ! be planned for the future. After further discussion it was decided that a new lease be given the Recreation Dept. for a term of 75 years, beginning July 1, 1954. The present lease to continue in effect until June 30, 1954 and maintenance payments are to be made until the above mentioned date. I , The following is a resume of changes to be made in each paragraph of the lease: # 1 & 2 were left as presently in force. # 3 is to provide that any capital investment to be made by the City must have the consent of the Recreation District. # 4 thru 9 to be left as presently in force. #10 dealing with salary for caretaker to be omitted. #11 in regard to liability insurance, Mr. Callaghan was to check into the triple coverage now in force. #12 left as presently in force. #13 omitted. #14 was extended to read all structures hereafter placed thereon. #15 omitted. #16 to include with the consent of the District and delete essential #17 left as presently in force. #18 to stand with the exception of a 75 year term to begin July 1, 1954 with a six months cancellation clause. , 200 SEP 1 01953 S E P 2 1 1953 Recess On motion of Councilman Callaghan, seconded by Councilman Thompson, and the vote of the Council, the meeting then recessed APPROVED: 21, 1953 at 8:00 P.

Because of the great expense involved in the installation of the sewer lift station, the cost.. of the development would be too much of a burden unless the developers can be partially re-imbursed by other owners developing tracts in the surrounding area. It was suggested that the Council create a "benefit district" whereby a specific area is named and as it is developed, each subdivider must pay a portion of the cost of the sewer lift station. Also suggested was that a specified number of homes be determined and each one to use this lift be charged a specified amount. After some discussion it was decided that if and when a lift is installed af1benefit district" ,. . o can be formed.
