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. Design Plan). Mr. Young
pointed out that such a connection proposed by
assessment district proceedings several years
ago was not approved by the area residents. 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. Motion carried
unanimously..
Upon suggestion by the City Attorney, the Council
Mr. Richard Day, an attorney at law, spoke, on

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,

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.

At the hearing on the permanent injunction, _be

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.
Letter dated October 26, 1973, to Mr. Lesly H.
Meyer, Superintendent of Petaluma City Schools,
from City Manager Robert H. Meyer regarding

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.
The City Manager also referred to and commented on
Mr. Arthur Lafranchi, attorney representing
the plaintiffs in the subject litigation, rose
to emphasize the point that Mr. Day had argued
his right to intervene, had presented a brief,
and that the Court denied him the right upon
the grounds he had no legal standing to do so.
