REPORTS OF THE CITY ATTORNEY Report on Petition to Referend Railroad Consolidation Project - Resolution No. 79-47 ' Councilmemb~r'~0oa abstained fr0~ participation on this ite~ d~e 'to a' poten~'ia'l Conflict of Interest. The City Attorney advised that the Registrar of Voters Office had, this date, certified there was a qualified number of registered voters signing the Referendum Petition. The City Attorney stated that the Elections Code requires the Council to repeal the action referended in its entirety or to call a special election to be held not earlier than 74 nor later than 89 days from today, unless the Council determines that the action referended was not a proper subject for such action. Mr. Levine stated it was his opinion that Resolution No. 79-47 was not a proper subject for referendum on two grounds. First, it was an administrative rather than legislative act, and second, the subject of grade separations was a matter of state- wide concern within the purview of the Public Utilities Commission and California Highway Commission. Such matters are not subject to referendum. It was moved by Councilmember Butler, and seconded by Councilmember Kephart, that Resolution Mo. 79-80, declaring that Resolution No. 79-47 was not a proper subject of referendum and therefore no special election should be called, be adopted. The roll call vote was as follows: AYES: Councilmen Butler, Kephart, and Mayor Brandes NOES: Councilman Mercer ABSENT: None ABSTAINED:Councilman Wood 5. 5/8/79
