2410 Daladier Drive; Karlen Schepak, 2111 Chandeleur Drive; and Julian Foley,
2025 Suana Drive. Their objections centered around the cost of this under-
grounding, removal of high voltage poles on the westerly district boundary, the
percentage of residents who had filed letters of protest, and the reassessment
of property values resulting from the improvement.

of the area: Freida Sliskovich, 2041 Daladier Drive; Jacqueline Rocker, 2330

submitted letters of protest but withdrew their names. One of the five requested

after that date were not counted because names could only be withdrawn and not added
after that date. Legal protest received prior to and on July 6, 1982 at 7:30 P.M.
totalled 34.62%. There being no response to the Mayor's call for additional testi-

TM Cable into the trenching process with the proviso that there will be no cost
to the City or residents.
Councilman Dyda moved, seconded by Councilwoman Hein and carried to approve

it was the consensus that Director Laisure should find out more about the
Federal requirements for recordkeeping associated with this program and
place this matter on the next Consent Calendar.

ABALONE COVE - PETITION AND Acting City Manager Hightower reported
WAIVER (1801) that the Executive Director of Abalone
Cove Landslide District had requested
that the City sign a waiver which would eliminate the need for investigation pro-
ceedings pursuant to the Special Assessment Investigation, Limitation and
Majority Protest Act of 1931. This procedure is costly and.would benefit
nobody since there is a willing buyer of the bonds on behalf of the District.

to by the Council. Councilwoman Shaw moved, seconded by Councilman Dyda and
carried to authorize the City Manager to sign this waiver.

facilities later this month. Use of the van would be limited to fourteen
on a first -come, first -serve basis.

(307) entitled "Additions and Deletions

councilmembers wishing to remove items from the Consent Calendar and /or
add items under Council Committee Reports fill out this form and give to
the City Clerk at the beginning of the meeting. Deletions from the Consent
Calendar will be announced at the time of its adoption. Additions under
the Council Committee Reports will be announced at the time the Agenda
is approved. Councilman Dyda moved, seconded by Councilwoman Hein and
carried to approve this procedure.
