REQUESTED TAXI FARE ADJUSTMENT POSTPONED It was reported that Mr. Pacini had revised his request for an adjustment of the taxi fares as of this afternoon, and the City Manager requested that discussion of the matter be postponed for one week. REPORT RE. DIVISION OF FORESTRY LEASE OF AIRPORT PROPERTY The City Manager reported that a discussion had been held with Division of Forestry officials during which it was agreed that the amended lease for Airport property should be revised back to comply with the original agreement approved by the Council, and will be executed by the Division in that form. DISCUSSION RE. ANTON STADIUM LIGHTING PROBLEMS The City Manager reported on the condition of the light poles in Anton Stadium. It was pointed out that these are 90 foot untreated wood poles which were installed in 1952. Deteriora- tion began at the ground level several years ago and in 1961 all poles were stubbed due to rot at the ground level. At the same time the poles were treated with pesticides for the elimination of termites. During work involved in replacement of burned out lamps approximately 3 weeks ago a very substantial amount of deterioration was noted up to the 50 foot level and, due to the apparent condition of the poles and the wind at that particular time, it was determined that it was unsafe to climb higher to complete the job. It was pointed out that one additional examination is planned during a time when there is no wind, but that the general conditions indiciated very little liklihood of completing the lamp replacement project. An estimate of replacement costs was reviewed which varied from $15,7OO to $21,200, wi th the more desirable replacement program to consist of the installation of steel poles, pad mount transfo.r- mers, the use of existing light fixtures and the construction of service platforms for maintenance work. It was explained to the Council that it appeared reasonable to determine the plans of the School District regarding construction of their own lighted facility and to request their opinion regarding participa- tion in the cost of the replacement program. After discussion the City Manager was instructed to contact the Unified School District Board to pose the two questions request their answer at the earliest possible time. and P.G. AND E. CO.
