RE: REQUEST TO PURCHASE CITY PROPERTY - File 2-1-5 x 2-10
Robert A. Roumiguiere addressed the council on the sale of a portion of the Francisco Boulevard property.
Mr. Roumiguiere explaire d by diagram the proposed parcels to be sold. One to Mr. Viglienzone, an area
of 76,482 square feet for $229,446.00 and to Dexter Toyota Motor Sales with an area of 65,344 square
feet in the amount of $196,032.00, and that at the present time there is a possibility that the State
will widen the service road to Francisco Boulevard. In the meantime, until that is done, the people
purchasing the property would lease the area adjacent to Francisco Boulevard. Vigilienzone would pay
$2,261.00 per year, and Dexter would pay $4,627.00 per year. The City would have to move the Sanitary
Sewer Pumping Plant, and remove the Corporation Yard. Notice must be given to the present leaseholders
to vacate the premises. Mr. Clifford Lund addressed the Council regarding the matter in behalf of the
San Rafael Chamber of Commerce, and the downtown businessmen, and urged the council to accept the pro-
posal. The council discussed the matter and asked Mr. Roumiguiere various questions.
Motion was made by Counci•1•man Miskimen, seconded by Councilman Robbins, to accept the proposal as pre-
sented and authorized the City Attorney to draw up the necessary contracts and ordinances. The Mayor

RE: MARIN COUNTY COURT HOUSE - File 124
The City Council discussed the earmarking of the $425,478.00 they would receive from the sale of the
Francisco Boulevard property which of course included the Corporation Yard, and the moving of the Cor-
poration Yard. The council directed City Manager, Dan Andersen to proceed with the study on the re-
location of the yard and use a portion of the money for the purchase of the Court House property to be for
resale. The consensus of opinion was that a buyer would rather deal with only one entity instead of two,
T21
and since the City of San Rafael controlled the zoning of the property, it was conceivable that it would
be to the city's advantage to purchase the property and have full control over it.
Motion was made by Councilman Robbins, seconded by Councilman Miskimen, to offer the County $50,000.00
down for a total price of $500,000.00. The remainder of the total price to be paid at the time of the
sale, and also that if the price was more than $500,000.00 that the net over and abobe that price would
be split between the city and the county on a fifty-fifty basis.

presenting the owner stated that the City Planning Commission's objection was not to the size of the
sign but to the copy indicating price of gasoline. He felt that it was not unusual for the operator of
a service station to let the public know what the price of their product is. Mr. Robert Moore, represent-
ing the Marin Independent Service Station Association stated that they had met with the City Planning
Director several years ago, and agreed to remove all signs displaying prices. He referred to the need
for a strong sign ordinance in the City of San Rafal to eliminate ''sight pollution''. Pictures were

a flooding pump and the ability of the remaining area to store water will be increased by installing an
additional 30 inch pipe to the outer levee. Mr. Quin Ongaro suggested that the council require the post-
ing of a bond for performance of the work to city specifications. Mr. Frank G. Merz also requested that
