REPORTS OF THE CITY MANAGER Report, Re: Main Street Decorations during Alameda County Fair Mr. Edgar presented the staff report regarding this matter, stating that the placing of flags on Main Street during the Fair was previously arranged by the Chamber of Commerce and paid for by the City. However, this cost item was re- moved from the subsidy payment for the 1972-73 Fiscal Year, and the Council should decide whether or not to continue the street decorations, and pay for this service separately. Councilman Pearson requested that the Chamber seek this expenditure from the Fair Board. Mayor Reid commented that the intent of the agreement reached in the phase out of our subsidy to the Chamber also encompassed an arrangement which would be made between the City and Chamber on an annual basis regarding various obligations in which the City would support. He stated that the City Council has to decide whether the City should be a partner to the traditional activities that are a part of our City. It was moved by Councilman Herlihy, and seconded by Mayor Reid, that Resolu- tion No. 73-67, approving the expenditure for decoration flags on Main Street during the Fair at a minimum cost of $450.00, with the condition that the Chamber of Commerce contact the Fair Board to include this item in their Budget for next year, be adopted.

Mr. Edgar reported on his trip to Washington, D.C., on April II and 12, 1973, regarding the new Federal and State requirements regarding the funding of public facilities related to urban growth. Mr. Edgar stated that it is the intention of these Federal and State officials to make all of the planning data related to environmental quality consistent by using similar population projections for projects related to air, water, sewer, land use, etc. However, Mr. Edgar stated that they indicated a willingness to attempt to work out the adjustments and hardships. He further stated the best posture that the City could take is to formulate a development program as has been started with the environmental ele- ment included into the plan and to submit it as a viable alternative for review and approval of the regulating agencies.
