Mr. Bascom was informed that the Council has made provisions for having the proposal placed on the ballot in April. Application to Connect to City Sewer and Proposed Annexation Mr. William J. Hackett, 1442 - l38th Ave., San Leandro, appeared before the Council requesting permission to connect to the city sewer two dwellings to be built on Olivina Avenue just outside the city limits, Or if this is not possible, would the Council consider annexing a small parcel of land on the South side of Olivina extending to Lambaren Avenue and grant a temporary sewer connection until annexation was passed. Mr. Hackett was informed that the city has made it a policy not to extend the city sewer line. If he wished to present a proposal for annexation, he should first have a detailed map of the area to be annexed plus a topography map, a statement from individuals living in that area that they will assume all bonded indebtedness of the city and present it to the Planning Commission. Mr. Hackett also presented a map of a proposed subdivision to be considered for annexation, bounded on the south by Olivina and on the north by the city sewer farm lying west of the recent Becker annexation. Proposed Subdivision Mr. Carl Dame and Mr. E. W. McGah appeared before the Council regarding the formation of a "benefit district" whereby they will be partially re-imbursed by other developers using the sewer lift to be installed in connection with Tract 1321. A discussion was held and it was decided that the gentlemen should contact Mr. Carrati, who owns property adjacent to theirs and see what his plans are; also Mr. Mancini was to be contacted to determine the number of units that could be served by this sewer lift station. .. ,- . *;;.;~~, P"~ ...~ 1lr ..<.~~~~!l' , "'~'''''1',,'' ".. 1-""""" 1f"~r _"" 'I ':' ""It. i'~ ~',McI . ~~Itlt;...~"fti~"'!1>- ~,*, 0:,' '.

The sewer lift should take care of approximately 400 homes. It was decided that a fee of $80.00 be charged for each connection to the line or sump. The time limit for the developers to be re-imbursed was set as 10 years or 50% of the total expendi ture ~rfl-wa~~. U-I $21,580.00. The City Attorney was to prepare the necessary ~~ ~ ordinance for sewer extension, and the declaration of policy for the next meeting. Call For Gasoline Bids C. G.

The Meeting was called to order at 8:05 P. M. Roll Call: Present--Councilmen Callaghan, Carter, Thompson,~ Windhusen and Mayor Gardella; Absent--None. r L The minutes of the previous meeting were dispensed with. Members of the High School Board of Trustees were present. Mayor Gardella read resolution #905, passed March 31, 1930, granting the High School District permission for a period of 5 years to erect and maintain a fence along the westerly curb line of School Street. No further action has ever been taken and the fence has been extended on the curb line to the end of the school property. The Council does not want School Street less than an Bo foot street as it is a main outlet from Pestana Way and Madeira Way and 1i the City Hall were moved to Vila GUli, School Street would be a much ~ traveled street. Mr. E. Mulqueeney, Chairman of the School Board explained tre c problem that now arises. If the school dedicates the corner oi East ~h and School Streets and an Bo foot strip to the City ior School Street it means that the existing fence, two lighting poles for the football field and the roof over-hang on the agriculture building are in what would be the 12 foot sidewalk area on the westerly side of the street. The cost of moving the poles and fence would be great, .' 268 fEE. 11954 and the District wishes to find a solution to this problem. The School District feels that they would probably never need a side- walk on that side of the street. The following suggestions were made: 1. The City deed to the District a 12 foot strip along School st. which would place the curb just outside the fence line therefore having no sidewalk on that side of the street. 2. A lease be given the District for the 12 foot area for a period of 25 years with a 90 day cancellation clause. 3. The street be moved easterly cutting the sidewalk area on either side to 6 feet or 10 feet leaving as much traveled way as possible. 4. The City abandon the 12 foot strip with the stipulation that if the School wishes to have a side walk area along School Street they must use this abandoned area. 5. The City abandon the 12 foot strip with a clause stating that if there becomes a need for sidewalk area on the west side of School Street the city may request the Board to put in sidewalks in this abandoned strip. The Mayor then asked both boards to consider carefully all the suggestions that had been made and what other possible solution might be found and the problem will be discussed at another meeting.

Sewer Problem (Goebel) Mrs. Inez Goebel appeared before the Council asking whether or not the city sewer 1s to be extended to Macho Street to connect '\ 310 p,PD l' I.. ,,~ . 4 ~' t,,~ ~-J ~J. the homes that she and other property owners plan to build; about 60 homes can be built in the area. City Attorney Callaghan ex- plained that the city is not legally obligated to extend sewer facilities. Extending the sewer to Mocho Street would mean taking sewage across the Mocho Creek which would require a sewer lift. C.G. Clarke reported that from a survey made by Mr. J.A. Mancini the approximate cost of such a lift from Mocho street would be $20,000. The City does not have the money for such a sewer extension and the only way it could possibly be done is by a bond issue. Mrs. Goebel stated that they also had a survey made and there is o a considerable difrerence in cost. A meeting is to be arranged with Mr. Mancini, Mrs. Goebel and Mr. Hoffman to discuss the matter. Report of Ground Observer Corps Mr. James R. Gaskill, Assistant Director of the Ground Observer Corps, reported on activities of the Skywatch during the past nine months. Since the last report, enrollment has dropped. Mr. Gaskill stated they are now under the new cluster system which is a party line connecting the surrounding cities. This simplifies the method of reporting and also reduces the phone bill. Mr. G Gaskill presented graphs showing the personnel distribution by age and sex, the comparison of hours watched and the trends in watch' duty. He also reported that the interior of the watch tower needs a coat of paint and the floor should be re-done with an overlay of , hardwood flooring or asphalt tile. Mr. Gaskill said he would have a crew to do the work if the city would furnish the material. Mayor Gardella stated he would supply the paint; Councilman Windhusen stated he has odds and ends of tile that he would donate. Mr. Gaskill invited the Council to attend a meeting of the Ground Observer Corps, Monday evening, April 26th at the Recreation Building. Mayor Gardella thanked Mr. Gaskill for his report and the fine work that is being done by the Ground Observer Corps. He urged all the Councilmen to attend the meeting on the 26th.

Rodeo Association Request a Lease on a Portion of the Airport Property for Stadium Site Mayor Carter stated that the ~eeting being held was for the purpose of hearing the Rodeo Association's request for a lease on a portion of the airport for a stadium site. Mr. Carter then called upon the Association to present their request. Mr. Jos. A. Schenone, representing the Rodeo Association spoke as follows: Mr. Schenone reviewed the histo~of the D .",.4, , ,,~~, ......"'''-'-L ~ ,.:; ;:.:..... _.:L "L;2:",~..JIli "..."." '.....'; i"""'; i r "AUG 2 31954 387 association and stated that the directors have been seeking a new location for some time, realizing that the present grounds and stands need constant repair. A considerable amount has been offered for the present site which is a potential residential area. If funds were made available through the sale of this site a new stadium could be built with the proceeds of such sale. The association is aware of the recapture clause in the deed under which the City acquired the airport, and feels that a 50 year lease would be satisfactory. The area set forth in the request being the Northwest corner of the field. Briefly, the stadium proposed would be the pit type, with grandstands on the sides. The site is far enough from residential areas, and at such a distance would not be a nuisance. The are could also be turfed, which would make it suitable for other events. In the event that rodeos are no longer in existance, the City would have a stadium such as many others in the bay area. The area proposed to be rented for agricultural purposes could also be used for parking, and the City would gain this revenue. Also the rodeo brings revenue to the City and is a world wide advertising medium. In addition, the site would be landscaped, well maintained and an asset to the community. The City would be consulted and the Council's permission obtained before any use of the stadium would be granted. The association has gone into the matter of ingress and egress into the site, and this will not prove a problem. No noise or depreciation of property is anticipated. Many activities would be possible at such a stadium. Mr. Carlyle Carr spoke on behalf of the real estate agents in the area and urged the City to grant the request of the association and to develop this area as a park which is needed in this Northwest ~ section of the City. Mr. Carr also mentioned the possibility of a school on the site, and suggested that the City petition the CAA for abandonment of the airport. Mr. Harvey Owren, Livermore Blvd. and Mr. Cyril Appel representing Mrs. Dagmar Brusco Schieb and Miss Clara Anderson spoke in opposition to the granting of the request by the Rodeo Association as follows: The City had no moral or legal obligation to the Rodeo / 388AUG ~ 31954 AUG 3 U 1954 Association to grant the use of the site requested. This area is potentially a good site for a park development and ,the City should use foresight in planning the needs of a growing city. Also suggested was the leasing of the land for 5 years while a citizens committee be appointed to study the area and present a plan for recreational City and the surrounding area would also benefit. o activities. This area should be beautified as the entrance to the Why add to the hazard of airport operation. Car racing of any kind isnot an asset to any community, and should hot be permitted within IO miles of the City. This approach to the City should be made attractive to those coming to the area to settle and make their homes here. The City's biggest asset is to be made a desirable place to live. Mayor Carter then thanked those present for their interest in attending the meeting. The Council will consider all information in arriving at a decision in the near future.

Discussion with High School Board The City Clerk read from the minutes of January 25th regarding the discussion with the High School Board about the fence line on the ,~.~"~ .,'\IIll';"'.~'_~ "'..'.'~ r"l r l I II , ! (\ ,) f.~ L.Jl..l ;J 889 o 1954 westerly side of School Street. The fence is now on the curb line to the end of the School property. Two lighting poles for the foot- ball field and the roof overhang on the agricultural building are in what would be the 12 foot side walk area on the westerly side of School Street. Members of the High School Board were present at the meeting to discuss the matter further. Mr. E. Mulqueeney, Chairman of the School Baord, presented a map showing the portion of School Street and East 4th Street that the School now has ready to dedicate to the City plus rounding off the triangular point where the two streets meet. Before they dedicate this property to the City the School Board wishes to make some agree- ment with the Council so that the fence on the westerly side of School Street may remain in its present position until such time as s,idewalk and curb are needed. There were varied opinions as to the solution to the problem. Councilman Burch made a motion that the School Board be given a year to move the fence back to the proper line. The motion died for lack of a second. It was suggested that a 10 year lease be given with a one year cancellation clause subject to re-negotiation or review at the end of IO years. The Mayor then declared a 10 minute recess so that both boards could discuss the matter among themselves. Application to Connect to City Sewer Mrs. Peter J. Claverie appeared before the Council regarding her recent application to connect her dwelling on Almond st. to the City sewer. This would be an extension to the present line. After some discussion it was decided that since it has been the policy of the Council not to extend the sewer line, no exceptions could be made. In the event the area is annexed to the city in the near future, those people having septic tanks may use them until such time as they are unsafe for use. After hearing the discussion of the Council, Mrs. Claverie withdrew her application. 390 AUli 3 U 1954 Discussion with High School Board Mr. Mulqueeney stated that after his board had discussed tre matter the only solution they could see was to have the dedication to the City call for 68 feet on School Street (not including the ~ foot side-walk area on the west side) to the arc of the curve; and they would be willing to accept a 10 year lease with a 1 year cancellation clause subject to review at the end of 10 years.on tre existing 12 foot on School Street South from the dedication. Q A motion was made by Councilman Dear, and seconded by Council- man Callaghan to authorize the City Attorney to draw up a lease as above stated. A motion to amend said motion by omitting review at the end of 10 years and including that the fence must be moved at the end of the 10 year period was made by Councilman Burch and seconded by Councilman Callaghan. With the consent of Councilman Dear who made the original motion, the amended motion was passed, by the following called vote: Ayes--Councilmen Burch, Callaghan, Dear and Mayor Carter; Noes--Councilman Palmer; Absent~-none. Mayor Carter informed the members of the School Board that r:1 U the lease should be ready to present to them at their meeting of Sept. 13th. Request Fire Fighting Equipment in Case of Emergency Mayor Carter read a letter from the University of California Radiation Laboratory requesting the Council's approval for the Livermore Fire Department to furnish fire fighting equipment and assistance to them in case of a major castastrophe where outside help would be needed. The City Clerk was instructed to write to the Radiation Laboratory assuring them the city will furnish all equipment i~can spare in case of emergency. Request of Rodeo Association A discussion was held on the Rodeo Association's application ~',',: ''',' ,,~"' to lease a portion of the airport property for a new rodeo stadium, whether or not city land should be used for private enterprise and if so should the city receive a portion of the receipts for any activities that are held at the stadium.

The stadium will be so constructed that other recreational events may be held throughout the year. A committee from the Rodeo Association and City Council should be formed to regulate the use of the area. City Attorney Callaghan read a letter from the District Airport Engineer of the CAA regarding the request of the Rodeo Association to lease a portion of the airport property. A complete master plan for the airport should be submitted to their office for review. This master plan should show existing facilities and the proposed develop- ment of the airport, including runways, taxiways, aprons and building areas. The area desired by the Rodeo Association should be indicated on the master plan, also the exact location and height of the stadium should be shown. This information is necessary so that the CAA may be assured that the proposed use by the Rodeo Association will not interfere with the operation and development of the airport. The CAA recommended as short a lease as possible with an annual rental comparable to similar commercial property in the immediate vicinity. Any revenue derived therefrom must be used for the development, operation and maintenance of the airport. Mr. Black of the Rodeo Association stated he would draw up a master plan with the necessary information. Mayor Carter informed the Rodeo Association their proposition would be taken under advisement.
