A viewfoil was shown by,Dir.ector.of Public Works David Young of the subject area outlining the future extension of Webster Street from Bodega Avenue to Laurel Street through Mr. Gaultney's lots on Amber Way (as designated on the Environmental.

He considered the link a low priority project; 1 In considering whether or not to. purchase right - of -way for a project anticipated to be-built within the n_ext.ten or fifteen years, a motion was made by Councilman Harberson, seconded by Councilman Perry; Jr., that there is no..intent at the present time or the foreseeable future to extend Webster Street.

His main con- cern and complaint was,to the effect that the City Council, in instructing the City Attorney not to actively defend the City, wa,s disregard- ing the rights of the signers - of the petition and that, in Court, there was no true adversary proceeding. He stated that at the time of the filing of the referendum petition, the City could have refused,to take any action and there- by have permitted his clients to have a truly adversary proceeding. He noted that he was not permitted by the Court to intervene in the action but was permitted to file a brief as a friend of the Court and.the.C:ourt granted a preliminary injunction. At the hearing on the permanent injunction, _be did not appear and admitted that it was not re- quired he be noticed, and that even if noticed, directed that a resolution be prepared for the November 19, 1973, Council meeting formalizing the motion. Sunnyslope- Street Letter dated October 15, 1973, from Mrs; Donna Improvement Committee Lindberg requesting that.a representative of Re Referendum Court the Sunnyslope - "I" Street Improvement Committee. Action appear at the next regular Council meeting to discuss the recent referendum court action and stating that it was felt - necessary to discuss the issue in view of the many questions that,. have arisen concerning the action,.read and` filed. Mr. Richard Day, an attorney at law, spoke, on behalf of his clients, Sunnyslope "I" Street Improvement Committee, and to elaborate on the questions raised by Mrs. Lindberg's letter. 1 He referred to the referendum petition and the litigation that.arose - therefrom. His main con- cern and complaint was,to the effect that the City Council, in instructing the City Attorney not to actively defend the City, wa,s disregard- ing the rights of the signers - of the petition and that, in Court, there was no true adversary proceeding. He stated that at the time of the filing of the referendum petition, the City could have refused,to take any action and there- by have permitted his clients to have a truly adversary proceeding. He noted that he was not permitted by the Court to intervene in the action but was permitted to file a brief as a friend of the Court and.the.C:ourt granted a preliminary injunction. At the hearing on the permanent injunction, _be did not appear and admitted that it was not re- quired he be noticed, and that even if noticed, November 5, 1973 Sunnyslope - "I" Street he could do nothing as his clients were not Improvement Committee parties to the action. It was indicated his Re Referendum Court clients intended to test the Superior Court's Action decision in the Appellate Court and Councilman (continued) Brunner responded to the effect that in that event, the Council should make no comments. The City Attorney commented that he advised the Council, at the time the referendum petition came before it, that there were three choices: 1. Repeal Ordinance #1083 N.C.S. (subject of referendum petition). 2. Call a special election. 3. Take no action, thus forcing the pro- ponents to seek a Writ of Mandate. And also at that time, he recommended against choice #3 indicating that such a choice was futile as the Court would routinely grant a writ directing action of the Council without examination of the legalities possibly involved.

Meyer regarding Council action at the special meeting (September 28, 1973) on the East Washington Street -Maria Drive intersection; that the "Bicycle Safety- - and the Safest Route to School" Study, when com- pleted, will be of great assistance in the area of school crossing safety; and, pointing out that the crossing guard at Kenilworth should be eliminated since the completion of the pedestrian overcrossing of the freeway, submitted and filed.
