without specific dates and times. She would like more cooperation to solve this pro- blem. She would like a commitment from the Council to give the police the incentive to make this a priority. Mayor Mercer suggested that a meeting be set up between concerned neighbors, the Police Chief, and the City Manager. He suggested an evening meeting where everyone could sit down and discuss what the problems are and figure out what can be done. He stated a joint effort may be necessary between the police department and the neighborhood. Mayor Mercer asked Mrs. Jennings to give some phone numbers to the City Manager so a meeting could be set up soon. Ms. Pat Ferreira, Murray School District Board of Trustees Representative, stated that she is requesting the City to work with them on the Donlon School problem. She stated Mayor Mercer suggested exactly what she thought should be done. Mr. M. C. Mosier, 240 Kottinger #16, stated he felt the 911 service and the police department response time has been excellent. Mr. Mosier was concerned about the citizens at 240 Kottinger Avenue with regard to the aluminum flag pole that was in- stalled. He resents it very much because he feels the $1,000.00 that was spent on the flag pole could have been used to fix up the insides of the apartments. Mr. Mosiep had a letter from Congressman Stark who contacted the Pleasanton Housing Authority office, and was told that the flag pole was purchased with the interest of the security deposits that the Kottinger residents have put up. He stated he didn't appreciate this and questioned the legality of the action. He stated there is a law that states that why there is no statute that required landlords to pay interest on security deposits, it would seem only fair, since the money belongs to the tenant until he does something wrong and forfeits the deposit. No recent court decision has dealt with this problem but in an older case, which is still on the books, the court held that a landlord may not use or invest the tenants security deposit. He stated that the inside of the apartments are well kept, but the outside area is a shambles. He said this condition exists because of a lack of maintenance, the grounds are terrible. He indicated they have not had a Housing Authority meeting at Kottinger in two months. He feels that the citizens should have been asked what their deposit should be used for, the entire matter was handled incorrectly. Mayor Mercer suggested that the City Attorney work with Mr. Mosier to help draft a letter asking why and is it legal to spend $1,000.00 of security deposit money without tenants permission.
