Commissioner Brown; for Marine Terminal activities, Commissioner 

Mortensen; and for Industrial Park, Commissioner Kilpatrick. In 

addition to the area responsibilities, the following committees 

were assigned by President Tripp: Capital Improvements and Budget,

Planning, Commissioner Kilpatrick; and Policy and Operations, 

President Tripp. President Tripp then stated that he was desirous

-2-

Board to review the master plan of the Port and up-date the 

document or do whatever may be necessary to implement it and also 

to review all existing Board policies and objectives of the Board. 

A license agreement for Dorfman Hat and Cap Company to 

permit interim occupancy of 4.1 acres of property in the Industrial 

Park facing on Edgewater Drive pending the completion of sale of 

the property for the purpose of surcharging the building site to 

reduce settlement, with the understanding that should Dorfman Hat 

and Cap Company fail to exercise its option for the purchase of 

the property any fill placed on the area would become the pro- 

perty of the Port. In this connection, Resolution No. 18190 was 

passed authorizing execution of certain license and concession 

agreements which included the Dorfman Hat and Cap Company agree- 

ment. 

The continued item of a proposed lease with Oakland 

Yacht Club was called for consideration by th g, Board, which 

matter was th g, subject of a letter to the Board from the Assistant 

Manager, Properties Department. President Tripp directed that 

the matter be put over to a future meeting of the Board and be 

made the subject of a work session of the Board prior to any 

final determination. 

The request of California Aviation Service that it be 

permitted to sub-lease a portion of its office area consisting of 

670 square feet in Hangar 2 at the Airport to Skymark, was approved 

as recommended on concensus of the Board. 

Saturn Airways' request for a building permit covering 

the installation of a toilet room in Building L-812 at the Airport 

at an estimated cost of $1,500, was approved on passage of 

Resolution No, 18180, 

An Airport entrance sign was the subject of a letter 

to the Board from the Airport Manager, advising the Board that 

-3-

a design had been prepared at the Port's request by Marshall 

Roath, who did the graphic design of all of the new airport 

terminal signs. The rendering of a proposed sign was displayed 

to the Board, which sign would be located in a landscaped area 

near the Federal Aviation building at the entrance to the Airport 

at Hegenberger Road, Doolittle Drive, 98th Avenue and Airport 

Drive intersection. It was explained that the sign would be 

30' high standing on a steel column structure and that the sign 

itself would be 14° wide at the top of the column. The sign 

would be constructed of pigmented plexiglass with internal lighting. 

The designer's estimate is $5,500 for the cost of construction. 

The matter was discussed at length. It was suggested by the 

Board that in addition to the lettering announcing Metropolitan 

Oakland International Airport to those entering the Airport, words 

similar to "Thank you for flying Oakland" would be displayed on 

the reverse side of the sign for those leaving the Airport. It 

was recommended that the Board authorize the preparation of final 

plans and specifications in preparation to calling for public 

bidding on the project, which recommendation was approved on 

motion of Commissioner Vukasin, seconded and passed unanimously, 

including the additional wording on the reverse side of the sign. 

Appointment of Assistant Airport Manager was the subject 

of a letter to the Board from the Airport Manager, concurred in 

by the Executive Director. The letter recommended the appointment 

of Christopher C. Knapp, presently employed at the Airport as a 

Port Traffic Representative. Commissioner Vukasin requested that 

this matter be put over for consideration by the Board at a later 

date, not because he had any objections to the appointment of 

Mr. Knapp, but because he felt that this matter should be dis- 

cussed as a part of the overall promotional program for the 

Airport. The matter was continued as requested.

The designation of representatives and alternates under 

the Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement for Airport capacity study,

accounts, allow fuel prices to be established administratively, 

increase the service charge for oil deliveries to $.25 per 

gallon, and eliminate the ordinance provision allowing fixed 

base operators to dispense fuel to their aircraft. In

of aviation fuel at the Metropolitan Oakland International Airport.

of all resolutions be set forth in the minutes. In this connect- 

ion, Resolution No. 18212 was passed, amending Article IX, Sub-

Also attending the meeting were the Executive , Director 

and Chief Engineer; Port Attorney; Assistant to the Executive 

Director for Administration; Public Relations Director; and the 

Secretary of the Board. 

The amended containership preferential assignment 

agreement with the four Japanese lines in a portion of the 7th 

Street Marine Terminal was called for discussion. The Executive 

Director asked that the Port Attorney explain to the members of 

the Board the latest changes requested by the Japanese steamer 

lines. The Port Attorney explained that the principal change had 

to do with the privilege of cancellation after the first three 

years of the agreement by Kawasaki, Kisen, Kaisha, Ltd., and/or 

Japan Line, Ltd., whereas Mitsui-OSK Lines, Ltd., and Yamashita- 

Shinnihon Steamship Company, Ltd., had not requested a right to 

cancel. The Board was then informed as to the provisions of the 

agreement having to do with minimum and maximum annual payments 

to the Port by the four lines through an agent yet to be determined. 

The Executive Director recommended the Board approve the agreement 

in this form, which would be the document to be signed in Tokyo on 

January 23, 1968 between the Port and the four Japanese shipping 

lines. He then went on to explain to the Board that the lines 

had requested some additional changes in the crane agreement from 

that which was approved by the Board on January 15, 1968 so that 

this agreement will not be ready for signing at the same time as 

the preferential assignment agreement in Tokyo. Following a 

discussion, amended Port Ordinance No. 1487 being, "AN ORDINANCE 

AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF A ODNTAINERSHIP PREFERENTIAL ASSIGNMENT 

AGREEMENT WITH FOUR JAPANESE STEAMSHIP LINES" was passed to print.

The Domestic Coterminal Points-Europe All-Cargo Service 

Investigation, Civil Aeronautics Board Docket No. 18531, was the 

subject of a letter to the Board from the Port Attorney in which 

he explained the purpose of the investigation and that a formal 

hearing will be held in Washington, D.C. commencing February 13, 

1968 and recommending that the Airport Manager and the Port Attorney 

attend and participate in these hearings. In this connection, 

Resolution No, 18218 was passed authorizing travel for the Port 

Attorney and the Airport Manager. 

Resolution No. 18218 also authorized the Port Attorney 

to proceed to Washington, D.C. on January 30 to attend matters 

pending before the Federal Maritime Commission. 

Rejection of the claim of Edward Housman against the 

City and Port of Oakland in the sum of $1,000 plus other damages 

in an as yet unascertained amount alleged to have been caused by 

an explosion aboard his vessel the "Golden Phoenix" while moored 

at the Oakland Marina Yacht Harbor on September 20, 1967, was 

recommended by the Port Attorney and Resolution No. 18219 was 

passed rejecting claim of Edward Housman. 

The restaurant proposal for the 7th Street Marine 

Terminal, was the subject of a letter to the Board from the Assistant 

-19-

to the Executive Director for Administration. The Board was in- 

formed that a proposal had been received from Mr. David C. 

Tallichet, Jr., President of Specialty Restaurants Corporation, 

and it was recommended to the Board that it authorize conclusion 

of negotiations with Specialty Restaurants Corporation for a 25- 

year lease with one 15- year option based on a minimum rental of 

$2,500 per month for the original term of the lease with the minimum 

subject to renegotiation if the option is exercised, with the 

lessee agreeing to pay 5 1/2% in monthly rental against gross 

sales with the minimum rental to be applied against the percentage 

rental for the entire term of the lease. A rendering of the 

proposed restaurant as prepared by architects Campbell & Wong in 

cooperation with Kaiser Engineers, the Port's design contractor for 

the Economic Development Administration portion of the 7th Street 

Marine Terminal was displayed to the Board. The design submitted 

was for a circular restaurant elevated approximately 70 feet with 

the seating area to be on a rotating mechanism to permit patrons 

to enjoy a 360 degree view of the facility with the understanding 

that Specialty Restaurants Corporation would assume the cost to 

provide and maintain the rotating mechanism. It was further 

explained that the Port's construction obligation would include 

rough plumbing and electrical connections, bare plaster walls, a 

tile kitchen floor, elevators and completed restrooms. The Port 

would also install and maintain the necessary parking and exterior 

landscaping whereas the operator would be responsible for furnish- 

ing, at his expense, all kitchen equipment, interior decor, 

including carpets, tables and chairs, air conditioning, light 

fixtures and bar facilities, and would be responsible for opera- 

tional maintenance with the Port assuming the structural mainte- 

nance responsibility, including responsibility to maintain and 

pay the operating cost of the elevators. In discussing the 

-20-

endering displayed to the Board, it was pointed out that the 

artist's rendering does not show any public access area where 

visitors might come to view the operation of the Marine Terminal 

without entering the actual restaurant facility and that the 

position and type of elevators t be used were not indicated. It 

was explained to the Board that public viewing areas are being 

planned but the actual location of which had not yet been deter- 

mined. The type of elevators is being studied. There was a 

difference of opinion among the members of the Board as to the 

aesthetics of the proposed design, and it was further explained to 

the Board that the time schedule established by Kaiser Engineers 

for the design of the EDA project calls for the approval of the 

Board by February 16, 1968 as to arrangement drawings for the 

facility. It was further pointed out to the Board that the. 

general design had been 'diScusSed thoroughly with Mr. David 

Tallichet and other members of his staff and had been approved in 

principle by Mr. Tallichet. Commissioner Mortensen stated that 

in his discussions with Mr. Tallichet on the subject, he was of 

the opinion that Mr. Tallichet was somewhat reluctant to approve 

this concept of the restaurant building. The Executive Director 

pointed out to the Board the urgency of arriving at a general 

plan for the facility in order to meet the requirements for the 

construction of the EDA section of the 7th Street Marine Teininal 

which EDA requires be put out to bid under a single contract. 

Following discussion, a motion was made by Commissioner Vukasin, 

seconded and passed unanimously, authorizing completion of 

negotiations with Specialty Restaurants Corporation on the basis 

outlined above with the understanding that prior to the execution 

of the lease Specialty' Restaurants must arrive at a satisfactory 

employment plan with Economic Development Administration with 

-21-

the further understanding that the motion to approve is for lease 

negotiations only with the basic design of the restaurant facility 

to be subject to further discussion by the Board.

Administration; Public Relations Director; Airport Manager; Assistant 

Chief Engineer; the Secretary of the Board; and for a portion of 

the meeting, the Assistant Manager, Properties Department. 

Visitors attending the meeting included Mr. Barry 

Netherwood representing Air Land Freight; Mr. Howard Waldorf 

representing Councilman Harvey Binns; Mr. Fred Maggiora, Oakland 

City Councilman; and Mrs. Harry H. Ross representing the League of 

Women Voters. 

The minutes of the regular meeting of January 15 and the 

adjourned regular meetings of January 17 and January 29, 1968, 

were approved as written and ordered filed, 

Commissioner Vukasin inquired as to the recent article 

which appeared in the Oakland Tribune announcing that the Bay 

Conservation and Development Commission had recommended develop- 

ment of property in Richmond, California for the land bridge 

concept, as opposed to Oakland harbor. Commissioner Vukasin 

commented on the success of the Port's efforts to date in bringing 

new shipping lines to Oakland and the interest shown in additional

facilities but was concerned over the Tribune article and its 

effect on such future negotiations, The Assistant to the Executive 

Director for Administration explained that the planning conclusions 

recommended by the BCDC staff originally did not take into con- 

sideration the unit train concept and those recommendations were 

revised with the conclusion that planning for marine terminals 

should be a continuing program to take care of any future con- 

tingencies. He further explained that the revision includes the 

Port of Richmond as a part of the overall report but that BCDC 

has not actually made any recommendations for Richmond as against 

Oakland. Councilman Fred Maggiora commented that officials at 

Richmond are also very concerned over the report as it will re- 

flect on the valuation of the property which they are attempting 

to acquire. The Assistant to the Executive Director for 

Administration stated that he had been promised a letter from 

the Bay Conservation and Development Commission explaining further 

its position in reply to his letter of February 2, 1968. A letter 

was received later in the afternoon, copies of which were handed 

to the Commissioners. The letter from the San Francisco Bay Con- 

servation and Development Commission was dated February 5, 1968 

which stated, in part, that "contrary to the newspaper reports, 

the Commission has not at this time proposed any specific site 

for development of a containership unit train terminal nor has 

the Commission indicated that it favors any particular site over 

any other for this purpose". Commissioner Vukasin suggested that 

a representative of the Bay Conservation and Development Commission 

be invited to attend a meeting with the Port so that a thorough 

understanding can be had as to clarification of the Commission's 

position.

The proposed lease with the Oakland Yacht Club was the 

subject of an oral report from Commissioner Mortensen, a member 

of the Board Committee for this subject, advising the Board that 

he had recently met with members of the Oakland Yacht Club and 

that it is anticipated that the Club will be sending to the Port, 

a letter making certain suggestions as to revisions in the proposed 

lease. 

Appraisal of Port property, specifically that located at 

the corner of 7th and Ferry Streets, presently occupied by the 

Oregon-Nevada-California Fast Freight Lines, was the subject of 

a letter to the Board from the Assistant Manager, Properties 

Department. It was recommended that the Port proceed with 

appraisal of this property without further delay in order to 

establish a proper value for negotiations with Interstate Motor 

Lines. It was recommended that the Properties Department be 

authorized to procure a qualified appraiser at a fee not to exceed 

$150 per day and in no event a total fee of more than $750 to 

establish a proper value of this property. The recommendation 

was approved on motion of Commissioner Vukasin, seconded and 

passed unanimously. 

A detailed oral report on the recent meeting of the 

Airport Operators Council International in New Orleans which was 

attended by the Airport Manager and Senior Engineer Paul Sorensen, 

was made to the Board by the Airport Manager. Among other 

things, it was pointed out that a re-examination should be 

made of insurance requirements for vehicles operating on airport 

ramps. Resolution No. 18236 was passed ratifying Paul Sorensen's 

attendance at the meeting, the attendance of the Airport Manager 

having previously been approved.

from the Airport Manager. The type of advertising program to be 

carried on was discussed, however it was pointed out that the 

program is not yet in its final form and the only request to the 

Board at this time being the increase in the budget to provide 

for such expenditures. The Board approved the increase in the 

Airport budget with the understanding that the Board will be kept

pointed out that the location of the sign and its placement 

does not lend itself well to carrying text on the back. It

The proposal for the development of exhibit material 

to be used in proceedings before the Civil Aeronautics Board, was 

the subject of a letter to the Board from the Executive Director. 

Proposals from Systems Analysis and Research Corporation, were 

outlined in the letter, for the development of technical information 

on the growth of aviation activity in this area and the ability 

of the major airports to effectively accommodate the growth 

anticipated, and secondly, the preparation of exhibit material 

in support of the Port's position in the service to Albuquerque 

Case. The cost of the aviation activity study is reported to 

be $13,250 if it were done in conjunction with the Albuquerque 

Case or if done separately, a fixed price of $14,750 and that 

material for the Albuquerque case, if done in conjunction with

and ordered filed.

Members of the Board inquired of the Port Attorney as 

to the amount of fidelity bond protection the Port of Oakland 

carries for its employees and was informed that the present policy 

is for a maximum coverage of $50,000 for each employee. The 

Assistant to the Executive Director for Administration informed 

the Board that this subject was presently under study as to a 

more realistic protection for the Port of Oakland and that a 

recommendation in this connection would be made shortly to the 

Board. The Board directed that the inquiry should include pro- 

tection to the Port for those City of Oakland employees who are 

engaged in handling Port funds. Awaiting the report, the Board 

directed that the present fidelity bond be increased to a maximum 

coverage of $500,000 for each employee. 

It was determined that the detailed report on adver- 

tising program for renewed service at the Airport would be 

held over for discussion at a later time. 

The Board was informed that the anticipated cost to 

duplicate the decorative lighting of the trees in Jack London 

Square for Christmas, 1968 season, will be $15,000. 

The Airport Manager made an oral report to the Board 

on insurance requirements for automobiles operating on the ramp 

at the Airport, advising that present insurance requirements 

call for coverage of a minimum of $25,000 for each individual or 

$50,000 for each accident, with a property damage maximum of 

$10,000. He further informed the Board that the insurance 

requirements and traffic control of automobiles operating on the 

ramps of the Airport were under study and a recommendation will 

be made to the Board at an early date. 

The Board was informed that the auction sale of replaced 

and unusable equipment previously approved by the Board is 

-2-

scheduled to be held on March 2, 1968 at the City Corporation 

Yard on Hegenberger Road. In this connection, Resolution No. 

18256 was passed authorizing the removal from this sale of one 

1959 model Ford 1/2-ton panel truck, one 1954 and one 1955 Ford 

pickup and one 1959 Chevrolet pickup, which equipment is 

required for other Port activities. 

The new Airport tenancy of Standard Airways was 

reported to the Board by letter from the Airport Manager. The 

company, which is a supplemental jet equipped air carrier, plans 

to move an essential portion of its operating headquarters from 

Los Angeles and New York to the Oakland Airport, involving 

approximately 200 crew members and their families. It is planned 

that the company would occupy approximately 4,000 square feet of 

office space in Airport Building L-635 effective approximately 

March 1, 1968. Details of a one year rental agreement with 

Standard Airways is to be submitted to the Board for its approval 

at an early date.

owners, Ray E. and Cora M. Davis, was reported to the Board and 

Resolution No. 18247 was passed approving purchase price of

An offer to purchase site in Industrial Park by 

Hercules Equipment and Rubber Company, Inc., was the subject of 

a letter to the Board from the Manager, Properties Department. 

The offer covers Lot D-14, consisting of 1 acre on Capwell 

Drive at a purchase price of $50,000, submitted by Hare, Brewer 

and Kelley, Inc., of Palo Alto, on behalf of A. R. Paulsen, 

president of Hercules Equipment and Rubber Company, Inc., which 

-3-

offer was accompanied by a signed deposit receipt for the pur- 

chase of real property and a check in the amount of $5,000. The 

Board was informed that the company, whose headquarters is in 

San Francisco, plans to construct a branch facility of approxi- 

mately 15,000 square feet on the site which would initially 

house 8-10 employees. In this connection, an ordinance was passed 

to print authorizing the sale of city-owned real property located 

on the southwest side of Capwell Drive, approximately 1,150 feet 

northwest of Pendleton Way in the Port of Oakland Industrial Park 

to Albert R. Paulsen and Alice H. Paulsen, his wife, and direct- 

ing the execution and attestation of a deed to the purchase 


An offer to purchase site in the Industrial Park by 

Mr. Richard H. Hadley for the purpose of building an office 

structure for eventual lease to the General Motors Acceptance 

Corporation, was the subject of a letter to the Board from the 

Manager, Properties Department. The offer submitted through 

Mr. William A. Stricklin, real estate broker, is for the purchase 

of a 1.2 acre portion of Lot D-5 at a purchase price of $65,000 

per acre, together with a 55-year lease on the, remaining area of 

Lot D-5, consisting of 1.05 acres, at an annual rental rate of 

7% of the value of the land, $65,000, with a right to purchase 

this latter parcel within the first three years of the lease 

with the understanding that if the additional area is purchased 

within 12 months, the price will be $65,000 per acre. During 

the second year from the date of acceptance the purchase price 

would be 10% additional or $71,500 per acre and if exercised in 

the third year, the purchase price would be an additional 15% 

or $74,750 per acre, with the further understanding that any 

time during the final two years before the expiration of the 

option to purchase, the lease and option may be terminated by 

-4-

the Port or buyer upon giving to the other party 6 months prior 

written notice. A further requirement would be that whether 

or not the option to purchase were exercised, if the lease is 

still in effect, construction on the additional area must be 

commenced within three years from February 19, 1968. The Board 

was informed that the two separate structures to be built, the 

first of approximately 12,000 square feet for General Motors 

Acceptance Corporation and the second of not less than 10,000 

square feet on the leased area, would be tied together to form 

one unit on the present Lot D-5. It was recommended that the 

Board approve the above transaction and authorize the Properties 

Department to conclude the sale and lease negotiations as outlined, 

which recommendation was approved on motion of Commissioner Vukasin, 

seconded and passed unanimously. 

An offer to purchase three acres in the Economic Develop- 

ment Administration area of the Industrial Park, was the subject 

of a letter to the Board from the Manager, Properti es Depnttment. 

The offer, submitted on behalf of Mr. Donald Erlbaum, president 

of Builders Cabinets, Inc., by real estate broker Ted Greenfield, 

is for Lot B-20 consisting of 1.67 acres on Hassler Way and Lot 

B-22 consisting of 1.67 acres at Hassler Way and Edgewater Drive. 

The purchaser proposes to erect a 20,000-25,000 square foot 

structure on Lot B-22 within one year after date of acceptance 

by the Board and will use Lot B-20 for employee parking and future 

expansion. The offer to purchase is based on a purchase price 

of $50,000 per acre, with 25% down and the balance to be amortized 

by monthly payments over a period of 5 years with an interest 

rate of 7% per year on the unpaid balance, with the Port to agree 

to subordination during the payment period in order to secure per- 

manent construction financing. The offer was submitted with a 

$5,000 deposit contingent upon acceptance of the offer by the 

-5-

Board. The Board was informed that the purchaser employs a large 

number of minority employees and is familiar with the requirements 

of the Economic Development Administration and has discussed the 

situation with Mr. Charles Patterson of EDA. It was recommended 

that the Board accept the offer on the above terms and conditions, 

which recommendation was approved on motion of Commissioner 

Kilpatrick, seconded and passed unanimously. 

A report on the negotiations with Sheet Metal Heating 

and Air Conditioning Contractors of Alameda and Contra Costa 

Counties, the Plumbing, Heating, Cooling Contractors of Alameda 

County, Inc., and the Oakland-Alameda County Builders Exchange, 

was the subject of a letter to the Board from the Manager, Pro- 

perties Department. The negotiations involved 1.82 acres in the 

Industrial Park at a purchase price of $40,000 per acre and a 

6-month option to purchase an adjoining parcel of 1 acre, which 

purchase and option was approved by the Board at its meeting 

of July 5, 1967. The original offer was submitted together 

with 3 deposit checks totalling $5,000. It was recommended to 

the Board by the Manager, Properties Department, that in view 

of the fact the proposed option to purchase the 1 acre parcel 

was for the period of July 5, 1967 to January 5, 1968 and by action 

of the Board taken earlier in this meeting, this parcel has been 

sold to Hercules Equipment and Rubber Company, Inc., at the purchase 

price of $50,000 per acre, and that the three organizations involved 

have not come to an agreement on the purchase of the 1.82 acres, 

that the property be placed back on the market at the current 

market value of $50,000 per acre and that the deposits of $5,000, 

which were originally submitted on the old form of deposit 

receipt, be returned to the three separate organizations. Mr. John 

Banister, speaking on behalf of the Builders Exchange, requested 

that the Board grant an additional 45 days time for negotiation 

-6-

of the sale at the original quoted price of $40,000 per acre, 

due to the fact that Builders Exchange has recently received an 

offer to purchase its present building and hopes they Will be 

able to consummate the sale with the Port of Oakland within 

30-45 days. Mr. Gardner Morse, speaking on behalf of Sheet Metal 

Heating and Air Conditioning Contractors Association, also 

requested that the Board delay its decision on . the Properties 

Manager's recommendation. After some discussion, on motion of 

Commissioner Kilpatrick, seconded and passed unanimously, the 

recommendation of the Manager, Properties Department, to place 

the site back on the open market at the current market value of 

$50,000 per acre was accepted. 

An interim license agreement for Robert V. McKeen 

and Company and C. P. Bedford Sons to provide for the commence- 

ment of construction on property in the Port of Oakland Industrial 

Park located on the southwest side of Capwell Drive, approximately 

1500 feet northwesterly of Pendleton Way, was approved on passage 


The deletion of options for Martinolich Ship Repair 

Company and Pacific Dry Dock and Repair Company, was the subject 

of a letter to the Board from the Assistant Manager, Properties 

Department. It was explained to the Board that the long term 

leases for both of the companies contained unilateral options 

to extend the lease terms. For Pacific Dry Dock and Repair 

Company the option is for 15 years on the expiration of the 

original term ending July 31, 1989 and for Martinolich Ship Repair 

Company the option is for ten years on the expiration of the 

original term ending July 31, 1984. The Board was informed that 

Mr. J. H. Jenkins, an officer for both of these companies, has 

requested that the paragraphs in both leases granting these options 

be deleted effective February 29, 1968. Approval was recommended, 

-7-

which recommendation was approved on motion of Commissioner Brown, 


Deductive alternates for the Economic Development 

Administration portion of the Seventh Street Marine Terminal 

project, was the subject of a letter to the Board from the 

Assistant to the Executive Director for Administration. It was 

explained that the Economic Development Administration has 

approved a revised construction budget, including contingencies, 

of $8,851,130.00 and that Kaiser Engineering's estimates for the 

total cost of all work planned, including a 5% contingency allow- 

ance, totals $10,559,000.00 and that as a result, deductive 

alternates will have to be included in the construction contract 

to keep the total construction cost within the EDA approved 

budget, and further, that EDA approval is required to include 

items of work as deductive alternates. The letter included 11 

items of recommended deductive alternates totalling $1,934,000.00 

which were listed in the order of their priority. It was further 

explained that EDA approval of the deductive alternates is con- 

tingent upon the receipt of a resolution of the Board confirming 

that the Port will construct any items deducted at Port expense, 

when it becomes necessary to add these items of work so that the 

scope of the project is not substantially altered and that if 

the construction of the restaurant and public facilities is 

deleted from the contract for the terminal construction, the Port 

agrees to provide additional funds required from its own resources 

to award a subsequent contract for the construction of the 

restaurant and public facilities not later than September 1, 1969. 

In this connection, Resolution No. 18257 was passed concerning 

Economic Development Administration Project No. 07-1-00046 for the 

Seventh Street Marine Terminal approving the deductive alternates 

as recommended.

Continued occupancy by Norwalk Yacht Harbor beyond the 

expiration date of its present license and concession agreement 

on March 31, 1968 at $524.17 per month for land and water area 

at the foot of Ferro Street adjacent to the Oakland Dock and 

Warehouse property on a hold-over basis was recommended to the 

Board pending further development plans for the area. The 

recommendation was approved on motion of Commissioner Kilpatrick, 

seconded and passed unanumously. 

Occupancy by Hurricane International of approximately 

40,000 square feet of storage area in Terminal Building B at the 

Outer Harbor Terminal at a reduced rental rate of $.03 per square 

foot per month commencing March 1, 1968 was recommended to the 

Board by letter from the Assistant Manager, Properties Department. 

It was explained that this reduced rate is recommended based on 

a competitive situation in order to insure the continued import 

by Hurricane International of goods from the Far East consisting 

primarily of sporting goods and rattan furniture, which imports 

assist in influencing direct call by vessels at the Outer Harbor 

Terminal. It was recommended that a procedure be established 

whereby the rental rate would automatically revert to $.04 per 

square foot per month effective September 1, 1968 unless the 

Manager, Marine Terminals Department gives a positive recommen- 

dation that the rental continue at the lower rate based on the 

success of the firm in influencing direct ship , calls at the 

Outer Harbor Terminal. It was further recommended that the Port 

share in the cost of installing additional electrical power to 

the area, estimated to cost $1,400, of which the Port's share 

would not exceed $700. The recommendations were approved on 


and later confirmed by passage of Resolution No. 18262.

Amendment of the Preferential Assignment Agreement 

with Sea-Land Service covering that portion of the agreement 

relating to insurance to provide for fire and extended 

coverage insurance on all improvements and all-risk insurance 

including collapse and upset, on the Port-owned cranes was 

recommended to the Board by letter from the Manager, Marine 

Terminals, with the understanding that after approval by the 

Board the amended agreement would be submitted to the Federal 

Maritime Commission for its approval. In this connection, 

Resolution No. 18248 was passed authorizing execution of third 

supplemental agreement with Sea-Land Service, Inc.

the Executive Director and Senior Engineer Paul Sorensen on 

February 18, 1968 was approved on passage of Resolution No. 

18249, Commissioner Robert Mortensen being the only member of 

the Board who actually made the trip. 

A proposed revised traffic pattern for the Outer 

Harbor Terminal area which included a system of one-way streets, 

was explained to the Board by the Assistant Chief Engineer, which 

proposal included the extension of Ferry Street along the East 

side of Terminal Building B. It was explained that in order to 

implement the program, ordinances by both the Board and the City 

Council would eventually be required, and that proper signs would 

have to be purchased and installed. The plan was approved in 

principle on motion of Commissioner Vukasin, seconded and passed 

unanimously. 

A written report was made to the Board on the Edgewater 

Inn bankruptcy, supplemented by an oral report by Deputy Port 

Attorney John E. Nolan, advising the Board that a Trustee's sale 

was held at 11:00 a.m. on February 19, 1968 at which time the 

-10-

leasehold was sold to Security Savings and Loan Association, holders 

of the first deed of trust and that as a result, Security Savings 

and Loan Association becomes the operator of the Edgewater Inn 

with the full rights of the original lessee and that it has the 

right to assign the lease without approval of the Board of Port 

Commissioners. The Deputy Port Attorney also explained that that 

portion of the lease on which the Standard Oil station is located 

was not included in the sale but will be subject to separate action 

by the Trustee in Bankruptcy. 

Sale of a bulletin board formerly used in the lobby of 

the Port of Oakland building to the 66 Jack London Corporation 

for the sum of $175.00 was approved on passage of Resolution No.

the roof of the transit shed, Outer Harbor Terminal, was ratified 


Specifications for furnishing maintenance to the PORT 

OF OAKLAND/FLY OAKLAND sign on the roof of the transit shed at 

Outer Harbor Terminal for the period of April 1, 1968 through 

March 31, 1969 were submitted to the Board with the recommendation 

that authority be given to advertise for the receipt of bids. Con- 

siderable discussion ensued as to the design and readability of 

the present sign, particularly relating to the "FLY" portion of the 

sign which lights alternately with the "PORT OF" portion of the sign. 

The Board asked that a study be made to redesign the sign so that 

it would be more readily viewed from the Oakland-San Francisco Bay 

Bridge. Approval of the specifications for maintenance of the 

sign was withheld pending report back to the Board on the study. 

Emergency repairs to the roofs of certain Port of Oakland 

buildings resulting from damage by windstorms on December 13, 14,

$5,000 on passage of Resolution No. 18253. 

Personnel matters as listed on the Board calendar were 

approved on passage of Resolution No. 18254 as to appointments 

and Resolution No. 18255 as to leave of absence. 

The Board was informed by the Assistant Chief Engineer 

that it will be necessary for the Port to install temporary roads, 

water, electric power and rail at the 7th Street Marine Terminal 

in order to meet the occupancy requirements for the four Japanese 

shipping lines. 

The Port Attorney informed the Board that a court 

approved agreement had been reached with George Page under which 

he agrees to vacate property at the Airport by April 1, 1968 or

Commissioner Mortensen made a brief oral report on the 

proposed lease with the Oakland Yacht Club advising the Board that 

he as well as representatives of the Port Properties Department 

had discussed the proposed lease with the Commodore of the Oakland 

Yacht Club and further negotiations will probably take a considerable

of a work session of the Board. 

Regarding the continued item of traffic control at the 

Outer Harbor Terminal, the Port Attorney informed the Board that the 

required ordinances and resolutions had been drawn and were presently 

under staff review prior to their transmittal to the City Hall for

A progress report on the construction of the Seventh

consideration by President Tripp. A motion to approve the resolution 

was made by Commissioner Vukasin, seconded by Commissioner Mortensen. 

Commissioner Brown stated that he wished to make a statement for the 

record prior to the vote on the resolution. His statement, in 

summary, was to the effect that the successful operation of the Port 

of Oakland should reflect some benefits to the community which 

could accrue by various methods, and that the dynamic growth of the 

Port and its continued capital investment program undertaken by 

members of the Board has attracted new business and expanded 

existing business and in this way the people have been compensated 

to a great degree. A further method being that if the Port has 

sufficient unobligated funds to be able to make a contribution to 

the City Council or the City Treasurer for the purpose of retiring 

general obligation bonds sold for Port development, that it should 

do so. However, he felt that the Commission should in no way impair 

its ability to continue to issue revenue bonds or to meet commitments 

-8-

it has made to the present holders of the Port revenue bonds and 

obligations to the Economic Development Administration from whom it 

has borrowed funds, and that it is his understanding that this 

resolution is a commitment for the fiscal year 1968-1969 only without 

making any further commitment for the future as it is impossible 

for him or other members of the Board to anticipate in advance the 

Port's financial position. Commissioner Kilpatrick then stated 

to the effect that he agreed with the statement of Commissioner 

Brown one hundred percent, but that the position of the Board must 

be looked at each year without making any commitment for the future 

as they will not and cannot commit any future Boards in this 

respect. President Tripp agreed stating that "We cannot commit any 

other future Commission to any resolutions such as this." Following 

the discussion, Resolution No. 18283 was passed, providing for the 

payment of principal of and interest on City of Oakland 1955 Airport 

Bonds during the 1968-1969 fiscal year.

The basis of lease negotiations with Anza-Pacific 

Corporation for Avis Rent-A-Car Service facility was presented to 

the Board by letter from the Airport Manager. The proposal covers 

an area of 1.6139 acres of open area West of the Ticketing Build- 

ing at the Airport on which would be constructed a service and 

storage facility with the tenant being responsible for all of the 

cost of improvement. The lease would be for a period of 10 years 

at a rental rate of $.006 per square foot per month or approxi- 

mately $422.00 with two 5-year options subject to rental review. 

It was pointed out that the area involved overlaps the area set 

aside for the Economic Development Administration Air Cargo 

Building project because of excessive land being reserved for the 

EDA project and that correction of this discrepancy will require 

clearing with EDA and redefining the land actually required for 

the project. In order that negotiations may proceed concurrently 

with Anza-Pacific Corporation and EDA the proposal was approved 

in principle on motion of Commissioner Vukasin, seconded and

reported to the Board.

Also presented to the Board was a copy of a letter from Mr. W.A. 

McCullough, Executive Vice President of the American News Company 

outlining the company's proposal to spend an additional $50,000 

in improvements and alterations to the existing facilities and 

requesting a further waiver of the minimum rental guarantee for 

the period through December 31, 1968. Mr. Richard Means, Division 

Manager for the American News Company,-appeared before the Board 

expressing his company's desire to negotiate a more equitable 

or realistic minimum rental under the lease and requested additional 

time in which to carry out these negotiations with the Port. On 

questioning from the Board, the Port Attorney advised that the 

terms of the lease with the American News Company as it relates 

to rental to be paid to the Port can be renegotiated if both parties 

agree. Following further discussion, Resolution No. 18301 was 

passed abating rental of the American News Company to May 15, 

1968. President Tripp appointed Commissioner Brown and himself 

as a committee of the Board to work with the staff and meet with 

Mr. McCullough of the American News Company to prepare recommenda- 

tions to the Board for determination of Port policy in this

the Airport to include all services that Pierce Porter Service 

previously offered and would pay to the Port a 10% commission 

on gross receipts from the business with a minimum monthly 

rental of $667.76 with the understanding that tips received by 

the porters would be excluded from the calculation of gross 

revenue. The arrangements as outlined above were approved on 

motion of Commissioner Brown, seconded and passed unanimously. 

A proposal from Mr. Donald E. Clair to berth the 

ferryboat "Chippewa" in the Airport channel on which would be 

established a Maritime Museum, together with a restaurant, bar 

and gift shop, was explained to the Board by letter from the 

Assistant to the Executive Director for Administration. A 

rendering of the proposed site on the Airport channel was dis- 

played and it was explained that the engineer's estimate for 

the cost of developing the site as requested amounts to from 

-7-

$150,000 to $200,000. It was explained that Mr. Clair proposed 

a 25 year lease with an option for the berthing site and the plaza 

area. He requested that a nominal rental be charged for the first 

24 months of the lease to be subject to a percentage lease agree- 

ment which percentage charges should be low, in Mr. Clair's 

opinion, to enable the Maritime Museum to recapture the cost of 

maintaining the craft and the museum. It was further explained 

that this project is not included in the Port's projected capital 

improvements program for 1968 and that without sacrificing other 

Port projects, capital funds money for this project would not be 

available. It was explained to the Board by the Executive Director 

and by the Assistant to the Executive Director for Administration 

that alternate locations, development requirements and methods 

of financing would be discussed with Mr. Clair and with the Oakland 

Park Department and that the Board would be kept advised of 

developments.

term of the lease to end December 31, 1970 with a mutual option 

to extend three additional years with a final termination date 

of December 31, 1973. Members of the Board inquired as to the 

effect of this proposed lease as it relates to the area required 

by Coast Iron and Metal Company for railroad access to its 

property, and it was explained that the present lease with Oakland 

Scavenger Company expires in April, 1971 which involves a portion 

of the area required for such trackage and that the proposed 

lease would have no adverse affect upon any arrangement worked

word "FLY" would light alternately with the words "PORT OF", at an 

estimated cost of $6,000 was recommended to the Board and on motion

and legality and to the Chief Engineer for recommendation. 

As to the continued item of the study on design of 

lighted sign on Port of Oakland building, the Assistant Chief 

Engineer informed the Board that the subject had been reviewed 

with the representatives of Ad-Art, Inc. It was recommended that 

no advertising sign be placed on the Port of Oakland building and 

in support of this recommendation representatives of Ad-Art, Inc., 

appeared at the meeting to present their views to the Board. 

Mr. Duke Schneider, Account Executive for Ad-Art, Inc., introduced 

their Art Director, Mr. Robert Miller, who informed the Board 

that a thorough study had been made of the idea of putting a sign 

on the Port of Oakland Building and it was the recommendation of 

Ad-Art, Inc. that any such sign on the Port of Oakland building 

would be a discredit to Jack London Square and he recommended 

against placing any form of advertising sign on the roof of the 

building and displayed various theme ideas for dressing up the 

-2-

Square and making it more attractive to tourists, in his opinion, 

and using illustrations which he had prepared, recommended the 

installation of some sort of central attraction such as a square 

rigger mast or a modernistic version of a sailing mast with concrete 

sails, which would encourage pedestrian traffic through the Square. 

The Board thanked Mr. Miller for the thought and effort placed in 

his presentation and the entire matter was referred to the Commis- 

sioner in charge of Jack London Square activities and to the 

Executive Director for further study. 

Traffic control in the Outer Harbor Terminal area was 

the subject of a brief oral report to the Board by the Port 

Attorney in which he informed the Board that drafts of ordinances 

and resolutions having to do with this traffic control had been 

prepared and approved by the Port staff and were now in the 

office of the City Attorney, Prosecuting Attorney and Police 

Department for further review. 

Sale of Industrial Park site to John K. Kealy Company,

to be sold at a price of $50,000 per acre or $204,000. The Board 

was advised that the deposit receipt had been signed by Mr. Kealy 

and his associates, including a deposit of $21,000 and that 

Mr. Kealy does not wish to take title to the property until 

December 31, 1968. The Board was further informed that Mr. Kealy 

plans on constructing a building of approximately 50,000 square 

feet soon after taking title to the property which building will 

eventually be expanded to a structure of 100,000 square feet. The 

purchase was approved on passage of an ordinance to print authorizing

cost of approximately $570,000, including on-site improvements 

which would be amortized through the term of a 20-year lease based 

on a minimum annual rental of $72,532 which represents 12.76% of 

the proposed Port investment. Percentage rental on the facility 

would be 5% of gross billing for all catering services performed

Director that the purchase of these two vehicles was anticipated 

in the budget for this fiscal year based on an anticipated cost of 

$50,000, which amount was increased to $65,000 under the revised 

budget. A discussion ensued as to the immediate emergency needs 

for the two vehicles, during which the Board was informed that the 

Ansul Company could furnish one vehicle already on hand and a 

second vehicle in approximately 60 days. A motion was then made 

by Commissioner Vukasin, seconded by Commissioner Mortensen, that 

a resolution authorizing emergency purchase of two vehicles be 

revised to permit the purchase of one vehicle on an emergency 

basis without competitive bidding and that the normal bidding pro- 

cedure based on specifications prepared by the Port be used for 

the purchase of the second vehicle. During discussion on the 

motion Commissioner Brown urged that the two vehicles be purchased 

on an emergency basis without competitive bidding. The motion was 

approved by the following vote: Ayes, Commissioners Kilpatrick, 

Mortensen, Vukasin, President Tripp - 4; Noes, Commissioner Brown - 

1, after which Resolution No. 18333 was passed by the same vote, 

finding that an extreme emergency exists which requires the pur- 

chase of crash and rescue equipment without competitive bidding, 

which resolution authorized the purchase of one vehicle.

The need to create five additional positions of Airport 

Serviceman was explained to the Board in a letter from the Assist- 

ant Airport Manager and an ordinance was passed to print amending 

Section 10.07 of Port Ordinance No. 867 creating five additional

and that an amended resolution had been prepared which is satis- 

factory to the Auditor Controller's requirements and recommended

2. The day berthing slips be eliminated from the first 

phase plan. 

3. Further study be given to the water level walkway 

to see if this portion of the plan is consistent 

with safety standards. 

It was also recommended that the intermediate phase plan 

be accepted and the final phase plan be accepted with a change to 

eliminate the proposed boat launching facility on the East side of 

Lake Merritt. 

Mr. Norman Lind, Planning Director for the City of Oakland 

appeared before the Board in support of the program and concurred 

in the suggestions for the changes to the first phase plan. 

Mr. George Dini, Staff Assistant to the Oakland City Manager also 

appeared before the Board in support of the program and congratulated 

the Board and Port staff on the project. Mr. Dini also informed 

the Board that he had been assured from Sacramento that soil testing 

funds would be immediately available so that the project could 

proceed without delay. The recommendations of the Assistant 

Executive Director were approved on motion of Commissioner Vukasin, 


A request to the Oakland City Council to amend the Port 

area as defined in the Oakland City Charter so that the entire parcel 

owned by the Oakland Dock and Warehouse Company property be included 

in the Port area description, was recommended to the Board by letter 

from the Assistant Executive Director. It was approved on passage 


-17-

A proposed lease and a proposed preferential assignment 

agreement with PLN Corporation and the filing of a fill permit 

application with the Bay Conservation and Development Commission, was 

the subject of a letter to the Board from the Assistant Executive 

Director. The lease would be for a 10-acre site located on the 

Oakland Dock and Warehouse Company property, which is being acquired 

by the Port, which lease would be for a period of 20 years with 

the property to be used for the processing and storage of scrap 

metal, with the lessee at its own cost to erect a processing plant 

for the fragmentizing of automobile bodies and to construct a 

barge berth, as well as other necessary improvements required in 

connection with the development of the fragmentizer operation. The 

lease would be conditioned upon approval of the permit by the Bay 

Conservation and Development Commission to fill approximately 2 

acres of property located outside the lease area but necessary for 

the development of the Preferential Assignment area for marine 

terminals purposes. The lessee would pay a fixed monthly rental 

of $5,141.66 with the monthly rental to escalate by 5% at the 

commencement of the sixth, eleventh and sixteenth year of the term, 

with no assessment of tariff charges for the use of the barge berth 

and water area within the leased area. The Preferential Assignment 

area would consist of approximately 6 acres of property. It was 

further understood that the Port at its expense would undertake 

the demolition of the old piers and the filling of approximately 

2 acres, the dredging of a ship's berth approximately 90 feet wide 

and 890 feet long; and the construction of a ship's mooring plat- 

form with dolphins. The Port would also provide longshoremen's 

shelter and restroom facilities, as well as rail trackage to and 

through the area, which cost, exclusive of demolition and dredging, 

are estimated to be $518,000. The Assignee to repay to the Port 

on the basis of annual payments of 0.128 times the actual cost 

-18-

incurred by the Port in providing these improvements, plus the sum 

of $8,500 to create a maintenance and dredging reserve, and would 

make annual payments into this reserve necessary to reimburse the 

Port for the actual cost of maintenance and dredging. All of the 

foregoing arrangements would be subject to the Port's acquisition 

of the Oakland Dock and Warehouse Company property and approval by 

the Federal Maritime Commission of the Lease and Preferential 

Assignment documents, or a determination by the Commission that 

approval of the Lease and Preferential Assignment agreement is not 

required. Authority was granted to conclude negotiations with the 

PLN Corporation as outlined above and to file an application with 

the Bay Conservation and Development Commission for the filling 

of the 2 acres involved on motion of Commissioner Vukasin, seconded

The Transpacific Route Investigation, Civil Aeronautics 

Board Docket No. 16242, was the subject of a letter to the Board from 

-20-

the Port Attorney. The letter summarized the recommended decision 

issued on April 16, 1968 by Examiner Robert L. Park of the Civil 

Aeronautics Board, explaining those sections of the recommendation 

which directly affect the Oakland Airport. It was recommended that 

the Port do not file exceptions to the recommendation and that the Port 

do file a brief supporting the Examiner's recommendations. The Port 

Attorney's recommendations were approved on motion of Commissioner

The allocation of federal funds for airport improvement 

under the Federal Airport Aid Program for the fiscal year 1968-1969, 

was reported to the Board by letter from the Assistant Chief Engineer. 

The Board was informed that on April 25, 1968, the Federal Aviation 

Administration advised that $489,908 of federal aid funds had been 

allocated for improvements at the Oakland Airport to be used for: 

(1) installation of new centerlined lighting, (2) construction of 

a portion of parallel taxiway to Runways 27R and 27L, (3) straight- 

ening and widening taxiway to Runways 27R and 27L, and (4) con- 

structing two exit taxiways from Runway 27R. The Board was informed 

that the total cost of these improvements is approximately $950,000. 

Commissioner Vukasin submitted information to the Board 

on certified public accounting firms which might be considered by 

the Board for auditing of the Port's financial affairs for the 

fiscal year 1967-1968, and recommended that no decision be made by 

the Board until its full membership is present at a meeting. 

-21-

On inquiry by Commissioner Brown, the Board was informed 

that plans for the construction of the Hilton Inn at the corner of 

Hegenberger and Doolittle Drive, are expected to be submitted to the 

Port within the next few days, and that a request has been received 

for the assignment of the Phillips Petroleum lease of the service 

station at that corner to Hilton Hotels Corporation. Commissioner 

Brown urged that a definite planning program be developed for the 

upgrading of the area along the northeasterly side of Doolittle Drive 

northwest of the Hilton Inn property. 

Commissioner Vukasin asked for a clarification as to the 

status of the advertising sign proposed to have been placed on the 

roof of the Port of Oakland building, and the entrance sign for 

Jack London Square, which was the subject of a presentation by 

Ad-Art, Inc. at the Board meeting of April 15; and it was agreed 

that the Board by concensus determined that no advertising sign 

would be placed on the Port of Oakland building, but that the 

balance of the Ad-Art, Inc. presentation to the Board had been 

referred to the Port staff and the Commissioner in charge of Jack 

London Square for further consideration. This led to a general 

discussion on present and future parking requirements for Jack 

London Square, and the Port's general plan for parking in Jack 

London Square which had . previously been approved by the Board, was 

again reviewed. Consideration was given to the redevelopment of 

the entire block between Broadway and Washington, and First and 

Second Streets for the development of additional commercial facili- 

ties and the construction of a multi-story parking facility. It 

was agreed that letters would be written to the property owners on 

the west side of Broadway between First and Second Streets to 

inquire as to their interest toward a cooperative venture for the 

development of such a project. It was also agreed that the entire 

-22-

problem would be further discussed with the members of the Jack 

London Square Association.

-2-

Port Electrician, was introduced to the Board and presented with a

$50.00 for a simplified storage and landing fee invoice 

form. 

An application received from the Southern Pacific Pipe 

Lines Inc. for a fill permit for the construction of a petroleum 

pipeline toward South San Francisco from the southwest side of the 

airport dike, was reported to the Board by letter from the Manager, 

Properties Department. In accordance with Port Ordinance No. 1332, 

the Board set the time and place for a public hearing on this 

application to be held at 2:00 p.m., May 20, 1968 in the office 

of the Board. 

An amendment to the lease with Stockman Development Co., 

which is now assigned to Security Savings and Loan Association for 

the Edgewater Inn property in the Industrial Park at Oakport and 

Hegenberger Road, to provide for the construction and operation of 

a 950-seat theatre and parking area on approximately 3.5 acres 

located within the so-called Edgewater Inn option area, was explained 

to the Board in a letter from the Assistant Executive Director. 

The theatre facility would be constructed and operated by Syufy 

Enterprises, Inc. under a sublease arrangement from the Lessee and 

would be known as Century 21. A presentation was made to the Board 

on the proposal by Mr. James Stockman and Mr. Vincent Raney, who 

explained the area to be occupied, the construction arrangements, 

-3-

and the cooperative use of the theatre area by the Edgewater Inn 

when not actually in service as a theatre. Financial arrangements 

as far as the Port is concerned would be the establishment of a 

separate minimum rental for the additional area at $14,000 per 

year which would be applied against a percentage rental of 2% of 

the gross receipts from the theatre operations, including ticket 

sales and confection sales and when the facility is used by the 

Edgewater Inn, the percentage rental formula specified in the 

Edgewater Inn lease would apply except that the Port shall receive 

25% of the gross receipts for rental income from the use of the 

theatre facility, and the minimum for the basic lease for the 

Edgewater Inn would be increased by $5,600 per year for the additional 

parking which would be provided for the Edgewater Inn. Security 

Savings and Loan Association, as the lessee, have also requested 

that the Edgewater Inn lease be amended to incorporate this area 

for a term of 15 years with an option for an additional 15 years, 

and a second option for 13 years, with the right to sublease to 

Syufy Enterprises, Inc. Request of Security Savings and Loan Associ- 

ation for a 5-year option to purchase the entire leased premises 

including the existing leased property and the balance of the 

option property at a price of $80,000 per acre, was reported to the 

Board but it was recommended that the Port not approve this request. 

The Board was also informed that Syufy Enterprises, Inc. has 

requested the right to erect a free-standing sign similar to the 

Edgewater sign, and it was recommended that the Board not approve 

this request but that the Port consent to permitting an additional 

element on the Edgewater Inn sign for use by the theatre in 

announcing its features. It was recommended that the Board approve 

in principle the suggested lease amendment, the proposed sublease 

between the Edgewater Inn and Syufy Enterprises, Inc., and the 

conceptual plan for the theatre, and that if approved in principle, 

-4-

a license agreement be granted to permit an early start for con- 

struction. The Board took the entire matter under advisement and 

informed the principles that it would make a determination on the 

subject at its adjourned regular meeting to be held on Monday, 

May 13, 1968. 

Traffic control and insurance requirements for non-Port 

of Oakland vehicles operating on the airport ramps, was recommended 

to the Board by letter from the Airport Manager, which included the 

following recommendations: 

1. Fence remaining portions of the North airport ramp 

which are presently open to Earhart Road and T-Hangar 

Road. A minimum of security fencing would be required 

to supplement that now installed. 

Install four "card-key" gates at select locations. 

Card key gates to be controlled by separately coded 

"card-keys" with a master keying feature to be available 

to specially authorized persons. Approximately 

$13,000 would be required to accomplish this phase 

of the program. 

2. Establish a requirement for much higher limits for 

insurance or financial capability than is now provided. 

Los Angeles and New York now require 

$1,000,000 property damage insurance for vehicles 

operating on their ramps, and both are considering 

increasing this limit because of the vast amount of 

exposure involved in operating in proximity to 

modern jet aircraft. Since our ramp would be difficult 

to restrict to areas of high exposure and low 

exposure, and following a precedent established by 

LAX and PNYA, a single limit of $1,000,000 PL & PD 

as a minimum is proposed. Certain operations involving 

higher exposures may be required to carry a 

higher limit. 

3. Revise rules and procedures for issuing ramp driving 

permits. Grant permits on an annual basis with authority 

only to enter one specific gate, and limit 

operations to a particular area or areas. In later 

phases, initiate a ramp operator training program 

to be coupled with issuance of permits. 

The recommendations of the Airport Manager were approved on motion 

of Commissioner Kilpatrick, seconded and passed unanimously. 

Two ordinances were passed to print concerning traffic 

control in the Outer Harbor Terminal area, establishing one-way 

street restrictions on streets in the Port of Oakland Outer Harbor 

-5-

Terminal area and establishing penalties for violations thereof; 

and establishing parking restrictions on streets in the Port of 

Oakland Outer Harbor Terminal area and providing penalties for 

violations thereof. The Board was informed that action will be 

requested of the Oakland City Council to incorporate these ordinances 

into the Oakland, Traffic Code, and following final adoption by 

this Board, a resolution will be presented defining the specific 

streets and areas referred to in the ordinances. 

A report was made by Vice President Mortensen on the 

progress of the construction of the Seventh Street Marine Terminal. 

Attendance at the semi-annual meeting of the Board of 

Directors of the American Association of Port Authorities, recently 

held in Washington, D. C., was made to the Board by the Port Attorney. 

Among other things, he reported that a revised dues structure for the 

Association is being proposed which would result in an increase for 

the Port of Oakland dues from approximately $800 to $2,000 per year. 

Service to Omaha and Des Moines Case, Civil Aeronautics 

Board Docket No. 18401, was the subject of a written report to the 

Board by the Port Attorney. The Board was informed that at a pre- 

hearing conference held on May 1, 1968, the Examiner ruled that 

the air carrier applicants must provide in their evidentiary material 

precisely what airports would be served in the Bay Area and indicate 

the type of equipment to be used and the specific language which 

they propose the Board shall use in any new certificates for public 

convenience and necessity issued as a result of the proceeding. 

It was explained that with this material in the hands of the Port 

prior to the public hearing in the matter, the Port will be in a 

much better position to make an effective presentation directed 

to the airport issue. 

An oral report was made to the Board jointly by the 

Airport Manager and the Supervisory Airport Traffic Representative 

-6--

on their recent promotional trip to New York City, primarily in 

connection with the direct service to New York provided by Trans 

World Airlines and also included calls on American Airlines. 

A new license and concession agreement with . the American 

Locker Company, Inc. for its installation and operation of coin 

operated baggage lockers at the Airport, was the subject of a letter 

to the Board from the Airport Manager. It was recommended that a 

five-year agreement be entered into with the company under which the 

Port would receive 60% of the gross monthly receipts on the first 

$7.50 per locker, and 80% of receipts in excess of that amount. 

The recommendation was approved on motion of Commissioner Mortensen, 


The following changes in airport tenancies were approved 

as recommended on motion of Commissioner Kilpatrick, seconded and 

passed unanimously: 

REP-AIR, INC. granted permission to sublet with no 

change in rental rate, 1,984 square feet of land 

area on which is located the tenant's building, 

L-416, to AVIASCO beginning May 1, 1968, approved on 


SATURN AIRWAYS, INC. to occupy an additional 8,000 

square feet of space in Airport Building L-812 at $.055 

per square foot, or $440.00 monthly, effective upon 

completion of improvements being made by Saturn 

authorized under building permit granted by the 

Board as listed later in these minutes.

planning services in connection with the condemnation of noise ease- 

ments over Bay Farm Island at a cost not to exceed $12,000, plus 

costs on an hourly basis for the time required in connection with 

court assignments, was recommended to the Board by the Executive 

Director and was approved on motion of Commissioner Mortensen, 


A report on the unsuccessful negotiations for the purchase 

of Industrial Park site by Mr. S. Dwight Skaggs, originally reported 

to the Board at its meeting of December 5, 1966, was the subject 

of a letter to the Board from the Manager, Properties Department. 

It was recommended that because of the negotiations having been 

lagging for nearly a year and a half that the deposit originally 

received by the Port in the amount of $4,000 be returned to 

Mr. Skaggs and that he be advised that his offer is no longer 

acceptable. Recommendation was approved on motion of Commissioner 

Kilpatrick, seconded and passed unanimously.

Temporary berthing of the ferryboat "Chippewa" owned by 

Mr. Donald Clair at the Clay Street Pier upon its arrival from 

Seattle for outfitting as a maritime museum, was recommended to the 

Board by letter from the Assistant Manager, Properties Department. 

Docking charge in accordance with the Port tariff would be $.50

building, 200' X 375' in size, on its property on Edgewater Drive 

near Roland Way in the Port of Oakland Industrial Park, at an esti- 

mated construction cost of $333,000, was placed before the Board 

for its consideration. Due to the fact that the Executive Director 

and Chief Engineer had not had the opportunity to review the plans 

and no artist rendering was presented to the Board, the matter was 

put over to the next regular meeting of the Board on May 20, 1968. 

The continued item of the Century 21 theatre proposal on 

the Edgewater Inn option area, as presented to the Board at its 

regular meeting of May 6, 1968, was called for discussion. It was 

pointed out by the proponents of the project that time is of the 

essence in this matter in order that advance bookings may be made 

on films for a specific date and that construction must be coor- 

dinated with the booking dates. The Assistant Executive Director 

suggested that if the Board approves the project in principle on 

this date and assuming the actual building plans for the structure 

are presented in sufficient time for engineering review, the 

Board could take the following actions at its regular meeting of 

May 20, 1968: approve an interim license agreement for additional 

area; grant a building permit; and possibly give first reading to 

an ordinance authorizing amendment of the lease with Security 

Savings and Loan Association on the basis outlined to the Board 

by letter dated May 6, 1968, which ordinance would be subject to 

the 60-day referendum period following adoption before it would 

take effect. President Tripp stated on behalf of the Board that 

it must be understood by all concerned that any commission due in 

-21-

connection with this arrangement, would be the responsibility of 

the lessee. Mr. Stockman stated that he understood this to be 

the fact. The motion was then made by Commissioner Mortensen, 

seconded and passed unanimously, approving the recommendation of 

the Assistant Executive Director contained in Letter No. 27 to 

the Board dated May 6, 1968, to approve in principle the suggested 

lease amendment involving a proposed sublease between the Edgewater 

Inn and Syufy Enterprises, Inc., and the conceptual plans for 

the theatre. 

The continued item of a building permit for Great Atlantic 

Lobster Company to permit the erection of a walk-in refrigerator to 

be located adjacent to the fence in front of the Clay Street Pier 

at an estimated cost of $500, was called for discussion, and 

approval was recommended by the Executive Director. In this con- 

nection, Resolution No. 18416 was passed authorizing execution of 

first supplemental agreement with Great Atlantic Lobster Company, 

adding additional area to their license agreement, and Resolution 

No. 18417 was passed granting the building permit requested. 

A contract was awarded to Federal Sign & Signal Corporation 

for furnishing and erecting an entrance sign for the Oakland 

International Airport in accordance with bids received at the 

Board meeting of May 6, 1968, as recommended by the Executive 

Director and Chief Engineer, upon passage of Resolution No. 18403.

No. 18404.

Resolution No. 18406 was passed amending travel Resolu- 

tion No. 18318, and Resolution No. 18407 was passed amending travel 

Resolution No, 18149, ratifying stop over in Honolulu en route to 

Japan. 

Resolution No. 18408 was passed authorizing payment of 

certain expenses of applicant, Hr. Charles Duke for the position 

of Director of Aviation. 

Lease arrangements with Ringsby Pacific Ltd., was the 

subject of a letter to the Board from the Assistant Executive 

Director. It was explained that the lease with Ringsby Pacific 

Ltd. contemplated that the Port would finance the construction of 

the freight terminal improvements by the issuance of Certificates 

of Indebtedness in the principle amount of not more than $900,000, 

and that Ringsby Pacific Ltd, would be required to purchase the 

certificates, if so requested by the Port; and further, that if 

it were determined by the Port, that the sale of certificates was 

not feasible, the Port would not be required to enter into a 

construction contract for the leasehold improvements and in that 

event, Ringsby Pacific Ltd. would be required to construct the 

improvements at a cost of not less than $700,000, and would pay 

to the Port the land rental only of $2,298.01 per month. The 

Board was advised that Mr. D. W. Ringsby, President of the Ringsby 

System, has requested that the Port determine that the issuance 

of certificates is not feasible, so that his firm may contract 

for the construction of the freight station and related improve- 

ments. In this connection, Resolution No. 18414 was passed finding 

and determining that the sale of Certificates of Indebtedness on 

the terms specified in the lease with Ringsby Pacific Ltd. is 

not feasible.

The Executive Director explained to the Board that 

further discussions had been held with World Airways, Inc. 

regarding the proposed hangar at the Airport, and that World 

Airways has determined that they must proceed with the hangar 

construction even though the expense exceeds their original 

anticipated budget. He further explained that discussions had 

been held as to the method of financing and it has been deter- 

mined that the procedure of issuing junior lien bonds is not 

practical but that the issuance of revenue bonds with the rental 

to be based on guaranteeing a coverage to the Port of at least 

1-1/2 to 1 might be acceptable to World Airways. In the meantime, 

the Executive Director recommended that the Board authorize the 

filing of an application with the Economic Development Adminis- 

tration, U.S. Department of Commerce, for additional assistance 

-16-

grant under Public Law No. 89-136 in order to determine whether 

or not this method of financing might be available. The 

recommendation of the Executive Director was approved on passage 


The Executive Director then explained to the Board 

that work under the design contract for the hangar has been tem- 

porarily stopped until a definite determination is made that 

the hangar project will proceed. He recommended that the Board 

authorize the Executive Director to notify the design contractor 

to proceed with the work as soon as a definite commitment is 

received in writing from World Airways that it is ready to 

proceed and consummate the project. The Executive Director's 

recommendation was approved on motion of Commissioner Vukasin, 


The Executive Director reported to the Board that the 

T-1--re— losis and Health Association of California has requested 

both orally and by'letter that it be allowed to purchase the 

property in the Industrial Park which it presently leases con- 

sisting of .87 acres on Pendleton Way. He further explained 

that the revenue from this lease is committed by the Port to the 

servicing of revenue bonds and that he would recommend that the 

request be denied in the best interests of the City of Oakland 

and the Port of Oakland. The recommendation of the Executive 

Director was approved on motion of Commissioner Vukasin, seconded 

and passed unanimously.

possible, for continuing public promenade along the waterfront. 

At the hour of 2:35 p.m. President Tripp recessed the meeting in 

order that all concerned could view the site of the proposed 

restaurant. The meeting was reconvened at 2:50 p.m. At the 

request of Commissioner Brown, the Port Attorney read from the 

Mardeco lease the permitted uses of the property involved, which 

did not include the operation of a public restaurant. The Port 

Attorney stated that in his opinion, the Board, with the mutual 

consent of Mardeco, could amend the lease to permit the operation 

of a bar and coffee shop. It was understood by all concerned that 

the proposed operation would be for a coffee shop operation as 

-3-

opposed to a dining room operation and would include a very 

limited menu. Following further discussion, a motion was made by 

Commissioner Kilpatrick that the Board approve the general type 

of operation proposed, including the bar and coffee shop, which 

motion was seconded and passed unanimously. A motion was then 

made by Commissioner Mortensen that the Board approve the site as 

presented in the architect's drawings and the plot plans, which 

motion was seconded and passed by the following vote: Ayes, 

Commissioners Mortensen, Brown, Kilpatrick, Vukasin - 4; Noes, 

President Tripp - 1. 

Mr. Lloyd Bothwell appeared before the Board in connec- 

tion with the action filed against Lloyd E. Bothwell and Mercedes O. 

Bothwell for unlawful detainer under the lease for the Showboat 

Restaurant berth at Jack London Square. The Port Attorney explained 

to the Board the action which had been takenagainst the Bothwells 

and the reason for the default under the lease provisions, which 

primarily concerned failure to provide proper insurance as required 

by the lease and he further informed the Board that he had refused 

to accept payment of any rental due the Port as such acceptance 

would offset the filing of the action by the Port. A discussion 

then ensued as to the type of insurance required by the lease and 

whether or not it would be proper to have additional insurance 

for debris removal which is not presently required in the 

lease. Mr. Bothwell stated that he was sure that he could satisfy 

the lease insurance requirements by Thursday of this week. A 

motion was then made by Commissioner Brown that the Port Attorney 

be instructed that if all the terms and conditions of the existing 

lease are complied with by Friday, June 7, 1968, including the 

insurance requirements and the payment of rental, that the Port 

Attorney is directed to dismiss the action of the Board against 

the Bothwells. The motion was seconded and passed unanimously, 

-4-

after which it was determined that the matter of insurance for 

debris removal would be considered at a later date. 

Mr. Henri Lewin, Vice President of Hilton Corporation, 

appeared before the Board together with representatives of the 

architects to present to the Board plans for the Hilton Hotel 

to be constructed at the corner of Hegenber and Doolittle in the 

Port of Oakland Industrial Park. Detailed architectural render- 

ings of the entire plot plan and the buildings to be constructed, 

which consisted of a restaurant building, including dining area, 

bar and ballroom, three separated 3-story hotel room buildings, 

and a small structure for snack bar in the pool area, were 

explained to members of the Board. Following the presentation a 

motion was made by Commissioner Vukasin, seconded and passed 

unanimously, that the Board approve the concept of the Hilton 

Hotel project as presented and Mr. Lewin was congratulated on his 

presentation. 

Assignment of the Phillips Petroleum Company lease to 

Hilton Hotels Corporation, was the subject of a letter to the Board 

from the Port Attorney, and in this connection Resolution No. 18469

Oakland covering an area of 28 acres, more or less, of real 

property located adjacent to and southwesterly of Edgewater

and would pay $18,500 as its share of the vehicular bridge across 

Elmhurst Channel. Other provisions of the lease were also 

explained. In this connection, an ordinance was passed to print 

being a joint ordinance of the City Council and the Board of Port 

Commissioners authorizing the execution of a lease of real pro- 

perty from the Port of Oakland to the City of Oakland for a 

City Service Center.

American Association of Port Authorities, was the subject of a 

letter to the Board from the Executive Director which would place 

the Port of Oakland in Class B of the revised schedule of member- 

ship dues at an annual cost to the Port of $2,000. The Executive 

Director's recommendation that he be authorized to reply to the 

letter ballot received from the American Association of Port

Employees Fidelity Bond Coverage, was the subject of a 

letter to the Board from the Assistant Executive Director. It 

was proposed that a new fidelity bond be issued covering both 

City of Oakland and Port employees with a coverage of $500,000 

and that the three year premium cost of $14,200 be divided 50-50 

by the Port and the City which would result in an additional 

annual cost to the Port of $966.66, in order that the employees 

at the City Hall handling Port funds would have this additional 

coverage. Approval to conclude arrangements with the City to

enter into an increased fidelity bond covering both City and

Representatives of the Jack London Square Association 

appeared before the Board, which delegation included representa- 

tion from the Bow and Bell, the Sea Wolf and the Elegant Farmer 

restaurants, together with representatives from Wyckoff and 

Associates, in connection with various problems at Jack London 

Square. Commissioner Vukasin stated that he had met with the 

representatives of the Association several times, once with 

President Tripp. The principal areas of discussion were an 

advertising program, parking and valet parking, and police pro- 

tection. A proposed advertising program was explained to the 

Board by a representative of Wyckoff and Associates which would 

include advertising in the Dining Guide, the magazine of Air 

California, Metro-Oakland, spot ads on station KNEW in Oakland 

and KCRA in Sacramento, and some sporting events, seven lines in 

a freeway map distributed by oil companies, the general theme of 

the advertising program being centered around the personality of 

Jack London. It was estimated that this program would cost 

approximately $35,000 and it was proposed that the Association 

and the Port split the cost on a 50-50 basis. It was also pro- 

posed that as part of the overall promotional program a repre- 

sentative of Wyckoff would be stationed on the Square but would 

-12-

equire office space and a telephone, which it was hoped the Port 

could provide. The problems of parking space and the operation 

of the valet parking was also discussed. It was suggested by 

Commissioner Brown that the valets use a small three-wheeled 

motor bike in order to speed up their transfer time between park- 

ing area and the restaurants. In this connection the Executive 

Director explained the proposed parking structure between First 

and Second Streets and Broadway and Washington which is being 

discussed with private property owners on Broadway. The problem 

of police protection on the Square was discussed and the Assist- 

ant Chief Engineer suggested that extending the operating time of 

the parking meters on the curbs to 10:00 p.m. would bring 

additional police coverage into the area. It was agreed that 

Wyckoff and Associates would furnish to the Port an outline of the 

proposed advertising program, the cost of which would be considered 

in the Port budget for the next fiscal year. All matters dis- 

cussed were taken under consideration, both by the Board and Port 

staff as well as the Jack London Square Association. 

At the hour of 5:00 p.m. the Board recessed to an 

executive session to consider a personnel matter. At 5:10 p.m. 

the Board reconvened in open session and Resolution No. 18477 was 

passed appointing Alfred J. Dix to the position of Assistant 

Chief Engineer effective June 16 1968, following the retirement 

of Jack B. Baines from this position on June 15, 1968 and in this 

connection Resolution No. 18451 was passed commending Jack B. 

Baines on his retirement for outstanding service to the Port of 

Oakland.

tion film for the Marine Terminal Department to be used in Japan

Dr. John L. Gompertz and Attorney Ben Aiken, Jr. appeared 

before the Board on behalf of the Tuberculosis and Health Associa- 

tion of California requesting that the Board reconsider its decision 

made on May 27, 1968 denying the request of the Tuberculosis and 

Health Association of California to purchase the property in the 

Industrial Park which is presently under lease to the Association. 

Following a discussion on the matter, the Board determined that 

no further action would be taken on the request. 

An offer to purchase Industrial Park site by A. Ferer, 

Afco Electronics, Inc., was the subject of a letter to the Board 

from the Manager, Properties Department. The offer presented by 

Alvin Bacharach, realtor, on behalf of Mr. Ferer, was for the 

purchase of Lot C-20 consisting of one acre on Roland Way at a 

purchase price of $50,000 on which a deposit of $5,000 had been 

made. It was explained that the firm plans to construct a ware- 

house and office building of approximately 20,000 square feet 

within one year, for the importing, assembling, installation and 

distribution of electronic equipment. On recommendation of the 

Manager, Properties Department, an ordinance was passed to print 

-2-

on the northwest side of Roland Way approximately 570 feet north- 

east of Edgewater Drive in the Port of Oakland Industrial Park to 

A. Ferer and directing the execution and attestation of a deed to 

the purchaser thereof. 

The operating budget for the Port of Oakland for the 

fiscal year 1968-69 which was presented to the Board for its study 

and consideration on June 10, 1968, was corrected to include the 

services of a Public Relations Assistant for the full year, and 

was approved on motion of Commissioner Kilpatrick, seconded and 


A proposed capital improvements program for the Port of 

Oakland for the fiscal year 1968-69 was presented to the Board by 

the Executive Director and the Board determined that it would be 

given further consideration in a work session of the Board prior 

to its final adoption. 

General aviation policy was the subject of a letter to 

the Board from the Airport Manager, which had been prepared at the 

request of the Board. It was the concensus of the Board that the 

matter should be given thorough study at a work session of the 

Board and asked that the report be supplemented with additional 

information as to the kinds of facilities which would be required 

as well as the cost of a program to implement the Board policy if 

adopted. 

Public Utilities Commission applications of Air Califor- 

nia and Pacific Southwest Airlines, was the subject of a letter to 

the Board from the Port Attorney advising that on June 11, 1968 

the Commission issued an opinion and order in these proceedings 

which grants both Air California and Pacific Southwest Airlines 

authority to operate between San Jose Municipal Airport and Oakland 

International Airport on the one hand, and Hollywood-Burbank 

-3-

Airport on the other hand, and further grants Air California au- 

thority to operate between San Jose Municipal Airport and Oakland 

International Airport on the one hand, and Ontario International 

Airport on the other hand. 

The applications of San Francisco and Oakland Helicopter 

Airlines to the Civil Aeronautics Board, were the subject of a 

letter to the Board from the Port Attorney. It was explained that 

the applications primarily concerned the deletion from the certif- 

icate of public convenience and necessity of the words "utilizing 

rotary-wing aircraft" and the addition of "the holder shall be 

limited to community center service and inter-airport service in 

the San Francisco Bay Area" and requesting that an area exemption 

be issued which would permit SFOH to engage in air transportation 

of persons, property and mail to any points located within a 50 

mile radius of the Oakland Airport. 

The Port Attorney made an oral report to the Board 

regarding new service by United Airlines and Western Airlines 

between the San Jose Municipal Airport and Los Angeles area, and 

by United Airlines to eastern markets from San Jose Airport. 

The Port Attorney also made an oral report to the 

Board on the oral argument before the Civil Aeronautics Board in 

the Transpacific Route Investigation Docket No. 16242 in 

Washington, D.C. from June 10 through June 13, in which he partici- 

pated. He explained to the Board that the Civil Aeronautics Board 

is under direction from the White House to make a determination for 

recommendation to the President of the United States in this 

matter so that the President can sign a final order prior to his 

termination of office in January, 1969.

to print authorizing the execution of the lease with Trans Inter- 

national Airlines. 

An oral report by the Port Attorney was made to the Board 

on the prehearing conference before the Federal Maritime Commission 

in the matter of Agreement No. T-2138 between the Port and four 

Japanese Lines under Docket No. 68-27. In this connection, the 

Board was informed that a motion was made to consolidate the Port 

of Oakland hearing on the matter with that of a similar agreement 

in Los Angeles, which the Port Attorney successfully opposed, and 

that the hearing on the Oakland agreement will commence in Los 

Angeles on July 9, 1968 and will be followed immediately by the 

hearing on the Los Angeles agreement. The Port Attorney recommended 

that the Board authorize the Port's intervention in the Los Angeles 

proceedings in order that the Port might be apprised of all infor- 

mation concerning those proceedings. The Port Attorney's recommen- 

dation was approved.

form and legality by the Port Attorney and upon recommendation of 

the Executive Director and Chief Engineer, Resolution No. 18545

Mr. Clayton Boisvert, Senior Engineer, was introduced 

to the Board and was presented with a pin by the Executive Director 

denoting 20 years service to the Port. 

Mr. Harry Rosenberg, Assistant to the City Manager, 

City of Oakland, appeared before the Board in connection with the 

Model City program. He explained that the West Oakland planning 

committee, which is made up of two representatives each of a large 

number of West Oakland groups and organizations, has been desig- 

nated as the organization to administer the Model City program 

if assistance money is granted by the Federal Government. It was 

explained to the Board that the Model City program is primarily 

a residential project for West Oakland, the boundaries of which 

have not been determined. Mr. Rosenberg explained to the Board 

that the West Oakland planning committee wants veto power over 

any projects federally funded in the Port Area and is looking 

- 3-

primarily toward development in the Seventh Street Southern Pacific 

Mole area. The matter was thoroughly discussed with no conclusions 

reached by the Board. 

Mr. William Sparling, General Manager of the Oakland 

Chamber of Commerce, appeared before the Board requesting that 

Mr. Austin Sheehan of Todd Shipyards, Alameda, be invited to the 

next meeting of the Board to discuss the proposed project of 

locating a large floating dry dock on the Alameda side of the 

Oakland Estuary at Todd's Alameda yard. Mr. Sparling explained 

that the location of the dry dock in that area would result in 

new employment for Alameda County and urged that the Board give 

its full consideration to the project. The Executive Director 

informed the Board that the dry dock would partially block the 

shipping channel and that no direct benefit would accrue to 

the Port of Oakland and that possibly the channel would have to 

be widened on the Oakland side in order to allow adequate move- 

ment of vessels. I t was determined that Mr. Sheehan would be 

invited to the next regular meeting of the Board to discuss the 

matter. 

The continued item of the request of Mardeco, Inc. to 

permit Certain-Teed Products Company to sublease its offices at 

77 Jack London Square to the Jack London Square Employment Agency 

was called for discussion and Mr. Bruce Clerk appeared before the 

Board on behalf of Mardeco. The Board indicated its concern that 

neither Certain-Teed Products Company nor Jack London Square 

Employment Agency were marine oriented activities, in that the 

lease with Mardeco required that tenants in the building at 77 

Jack London Square were to be engaged in marine oriented activities. 

Mr. Clerk admitted that as long as the offer to lease had been 

received from Jack London Square Employment Agency, that no 

effort had been made to obtain a marine oriented tenant. The 

-4-

equest of Mardeco, Inc. for right to permit Certain-Teed Products 

Company to sublet was not approved. 

An offer to purchase Industrial Park property by Dudley 

Deane Company, was the subject of a letter to the Board from the 

Manager, Properties Department. The purchase would consist of 

Lot D-5 containing 2.33 acres on Edgewater Drive at a price of 

$65,000 per acre, with Ritchie f Ritchie realtors being the pro- 

curing broker. On recommendation of the Manager, Properties 

Department, an ordinance was passed to print authorizing the sale 

of certain city-owned real property located on the southwest side 

of Edgewater Drive, approximately 800 feet northwest of Pendleton 

Way, in the Port of Oakland Industrial Park to Dudley Deane 

Company and directing the execution and attestation of the deed 

to the purchaser thereof. The ordinance was passed to print by 

a vote of 4 ayes, Commissioner Mortensen being absent. 

An offer from American Baptist Homes, Inc. to purchase 

property in the Industrial Park was the subject of a letter to 

the Board from the Manager, Properties Department, in which he 

recommended that the Board not approve the sale. The offer 

is for Lot D-2 consisting of 1.6 acres at the corner of Capwell 

Drive and Roland Way, at $55,000 per acre. It was explained to 

the Board that the American Baptist Homes, Inc., is a non-profit 

corporation and, consequently, is tax exempt. It was further 

explained to the Board that negotiations with the group toward 

leasing of the property, rather than outright sale, had been 

unsuccessful, Mr. Marvin Phillips, Controller, and Mr. Harold 

Bottemiller, Executive Director, representing American Baptist 

Homes, appeared before the Board and explained the corporation's 

activities and its planned use of the property. Following 

discussion on the matter, a motion was made by Commissioner 

Kilpatrick that the sale of the property to American Baptist 

-5-

Homes, Inc. be approved. The motion was seconded and passed 

unanimous ly 

Amendment to the Trans International Airlines lease 

and the establishment of fixed rental, was the subject of a 

letter to the Board from the Assistant Executive Director, It 

was recommended that the lease with Trans International Airlines 

be amended to provide that the "total project cost" for the 

facility shall include the actual cost of any architectural 

engineering services contracted and paid for by the lessee and 

approved by the Port in connection with the design and preparation 

of specifications for the facility, which project costs would 

include 2% administrative overhead for architectural services. 

It was explained that this amendment would permit the Port to 

reimburse TIA in the sum of $21,153.79 for architectural fees 

already paid for by TIA, but intended to be a part of the total 

project cost. In this connection Resolution No. 18522 was passed 

authorizing execution of first Supplemental Agreement with Trans 

International Airlines and directing recordation therefor. Reso- 

lution No. 18542 was also passed fixing rental for office 

building occupied by Trans International Airlines at $2,580.24 

per month based on a total cost of improvements of $349,418.63, 

with this rental rate effective from the commencement of the term 

of the lease which was July 1, 1967. 

Resolution No. 18536 was passed authorizing the Executive 

Director, the Airport Manager, and the members of the Board to pro- 

ceed to Chicago, Illinois on July 16-17 on airport matters. 

Resolution No. 18535 was passed amending Resolution No. 

18388 to ratify certain travel by the Manager, Properties Depart- 

ment to Atlanta, Georgia for calls made on a recent trip calling on 

prospects for the Industrial Park.

letter from the Airport Manager, having to do with restricted 

parking, public and employee parking. The Board determined that 

this matter would be discussed at a work session of the Board. 

The Board was informed that National Car Rental System, 

Inc., has purchased the franchise operation for the Bay Area from 

Barrett National Car Rental Systems, Inc., and, in this connection, 

Resolution No. 18537 was passed consenting to assignment of 

license and concession agreement of Barrett National Car Rental 

Systems to National Car Rental System, Inc. 

The Airport Manager reported by letter to the Board that 

the Metropolitan Oakland International Airport is the recipient of 

$90,836 from the California Aeronautics Division. The allocation 

is for a parking apron for light aircraft at the east end of the 

north airport, in the amount of $14,168, and the continuation of 

the federally-funded taxiway to be constructed parallel to Runway 

9r-?7R with a high speed turnoff from the runway to this taxiway 

for the balance of the funds. It was explained that matching 

funds from the local proponent are required as a condition to 

claiming these funds. This was reported to the Board for its 

information; no action was taken. 

The request of Evans Radio Dock at the corner of 

Embarcadero and Livingston Street to sublet a garage building 

known as Building J-303 to Sea-Tronics, Inc.,, was approved on 

recommendation of the Manager, Properties Department and Resolution 

No 18538 was passed granting permission to Evans Radio Dock to 

sublet premises. In this connection Resolution No. 18539 was 

also passed granting Sea-Tronics, Inc., permission to perform 

certain work consisting of partitioning the area for offices and 

display at an estimated cost of $500.

The Board was informed that Alvin H. Bacharach has 

exercised the option to lease real property covering the Alice 

Street marina apartment site and has requested that the lease be 

in the joint names of Alvin H. Bacharach, Bruce Goldman, Sidney 

Borsuk, Clyde R. Gibb, Robert C. Rehfeld and Leo B. Helzel, and 

that the document has been redrawn and executed by said lessees. 

In this connection, an ordinance was passed to print authorizing 

the execution of a lease with Alvin H. Bacharach and others.

Outer Harbor traffic control ordinances as requested by the 

Board. 

The request of Sea-Land Service, Inc., for additional 

area at the Outer Harbor Terminal consisting of 40,000 square 

feet in Terminal Building "H" was reported to the Board. The Port 

Attorney recommended against the original proposal that the area 

be leased on a month to month basis at $.06 per square foot or 

$2400 per month, in that such occupancy by lease required the 

approval of the Federal Maritime Commission. No action was taken 

on this matter. 

The following building permits were approved as indicated:

The containership crane lease agreement with four Japanese 

steamship lines, was the subject of a letter from the Port Attorney. 

This agreement provides for the leasin g by the lines of one con- 

tainership crane currently being constructed and installed by the 

Port in the Seventh Street Terminal Area. The term would commence 

not later than January 1, 1969, subject to the approval of the 

agreement by the Federal Maritime Commission or a ruling by the 

Commission that such approval is not required, and would terminate 

December 31, 1973. The rental would be $78,537 annually, based 

upon a total estimated cost for the crane of $746,551. The rental 

is subject to adjustment based upon the total actual cost of the 

crane when finally ascertained. In this connection, Resolution No. 

18548 was passed authorizing execution of containership crane lease

Application for a launching facilities grant, was the 


Director. It was explained to the Board that the plan of both the 

-17-

City of Oakland and the Port of Oakland to develop the Lake 

Merritt Channel Park is being financed by a State Grant in the 

amount of $370,650. At a recent meeting with representatives of 

the State Harbors and Watercraft Commission, it was indicated that 

the State would be willing to receive an application for grant 

funds for the construction of small craft launching facilities as 

part of the initial phase of the Park development. If the applica- 

tion for grant funds to construct the boat launching facility within 

this Park were approved, it would provide additional financing to 

complement the grant funds previously obtained from the State 

allowing for a more significant first phase Park development. The 

City has prepared an application requesting grant funds from the 

State of California under the Harbors and Navigation Code in the 

amount of $194,000 to construct small craft launching facilities 

as part of the Lake Merritt Channel-Estuary Park, including four 

launching ramps, one hoist, restroom facilities, approximately 

80,000 square feet of parking areas, walkways and floats and 

necessary dredging and pile removal. In this connection, Resolu- 

tion No. 18549 was passed concurring in the application of the 

City of Oakland for grant under the Harbors and Navigation Code of 

the State of California. 

Resolution No. 18547 was passed ratifying filing of a 

petition for leave to intervene in the proceedings before the 

Civil Aeronautics Board. The Deputy Port Attorney explained that 

the proceedings referred to in this resolution was the service to 

Salt Lake City investigation. He further explained that this is 

the case in which Oakland is named one of the West Coast co-ter- 

minal points and is also a case in which the Civil Aeronautics 

Board has placed in issue the designation of a particular 

airport or airports in the Bay Area to be served as a result of 

the orders which will come out of the proceedings. He further 

-18-

explained that the Port Attorney had filed a petition for inter- 

vention on July 3 in this case in order that the Port can become 

a party and participate in any further proceedings. 

Commissioner Brown made an oral report on a meeting 

that he attended with Commissioners Kilpatrick and Tripp, the 

Executive Director, Assistant Airport Manager and Director of 

Air Traffic Development in Los Angeles with Western Airlines.

No bids were received prior to the hour of 1:45 p.m., 

for the FURNISHING AND DELIVERING OF ONE (1) 12 PASSENGER STATION 

WAGON TO THE PORT OF OAKLAND. President Tripp asked the Purchasing 

Agent to contact the firms that took out specifications and make 

a report back to the Board as to why those taking out the speci- 

fications did not bid. 

A report on the fill permit application from Pacific Gas 

and Electric Co., was the subject of a letter to the. Board by the 

Executive Director, requesting authorization to install four 

submarine electric cables from a point under the Clay Street Pier 

southerly in the Inner Harbor to the southerly boundary line of 

the City of Oakland, thence to the shoreline of the City of 

Alameda. The Board was advised that the proposed submarine cables 

will not interfere with Port operation or expansion. It was 

recommended that the fill application be approved with the 

conditions that (1) the cables will be installed in accordance 

with the plans approved by the Port, and (2) all required permits 

(such as permit from the Bay Area Conservation and Development 

Commission, and permits from the Corps of Engineers) be obtained 

prior to the commencement of construction. There being no testimony 

to oppose the application, Resolution No. 18550 was passed 

granting the permit to the Pacific Gas and Electric Co. 

Mr. Sheen of Todd Shipyards appeared before the Board 

to present Todd's views to the Board on the drydock they are pro- 

posing to moor in the Estuary. He explained that the drydock 

would be 900 feet long and 100 feet wide, and would be able 

to accommodate huge new ships. The Board expressed concern over 

the fact that the Estuary channel will be narrowed by 100 feet 

by this drydock and asked if Todd would be willing to dredge 

the Oakland side of the Estuary so that none of the channel 

would be lost. To this Mr. Shean replied, "I'll say yes". The 

-2-

Board also expressed concern as to what effect this would have 

on Schnitzer Brothers of Oakland to expand their scrap steel 

processing operation for automobile shredding and the bulk loading 

of scrap iron on the ships in the Estuary opposite the Todd dry- 

dock site. Mayor McCall also appeared before the Board to urge 

the Port to support the Todd plan. After much discussion, a 

motion was made by Commissioner Vukasin, seconded and passed 

unanimously, that the Port staff and the principals of Schnitzer 

Brothers have a meeting and discuss this matter and straighten 

out any problems, and then meet with Mr. Shean and try to work out 

a solution and report back to the Board at the adjourned meeting 

of July 22. 

An agreement with Southern Pacific Pipe Lines, Inc., was 

the subject of a letter from the Manager, Properties Department.

execution of agreement for right of entry with Southern Pacific 

Pipe Lines, Inc., and an Ordinance was passed to print authorizing 

the execution of agreements with Southern Pacific Pipe Lines, Inc. 

The Board was advised by letter from the Manager, 

Properties Department, that Mr. Jack Reid, Hayward real estate 

broker, had submitted an offer on behalf of his client, Delta 

Electronics Company, for the purchase of Lot C18 for $50,000, 

consisting of one acre on Roland Way in the Industrial Park. 

Mr. Donald C. Lewis, President of Delta Electronics, plans to 

construct a 15,000 square-foot building within 18 months, which 

will be architecturally designed and in keeping with the development 

standards of the Industrial Park. The firm has submitted a $5,000 

deposit and, if acceptable to the Board, will pay $25,000 now, 

including the deposit, and the remaining $25,000 within the next 

12 months, and prior to the commencement of construction. Title to 

the property will pass after the referendum period and the close 

-3-

of escrow, with a deed of trust and promissory note calling for 

one payment. Delta Electronics will pay 8% interest per annum on 

the unpaid balance. In this connection, an ordinance was passed 

to print authorizing the sale of certained city-owned real property 

located on the northwest side of Roland Way approximately 320 feet 

northeast of Edgewater Drive in the Port of Oakland Industrial Park 

to Donald C. Lewis, Gordon R. Harris, Edwin B. LaGrange, Jr., and 

Merville A. Yetter and directing the execution and attestation of 

a deed to the purchaser thereof. 

Stolte, Inc., subordination to lessees, was the subject 

of a letter to the Board by the Manager, Properties Department, 

stating that Stolte's take-out lenders have requested a full 

subordination of the Port's deeds of trust to the Bank of America 

lease rather than the modified subordination previously approved 

by the Board. In this connection, Resolution No. 18567 was 

passed consenting to lease between Stolte, Inc. and Bank of 

America National Trust and Savings. Association. 

The following airport tenancies were approved as recom- 

mended on motion of Commissioner Brown, seconded and passed 

unanimously: 

Air Weld, Inc. requested a twenty year lease 

on a parcel of Airport land upon which to construct 

a building to house its activity, and 

the Board at its meeting of March 18, 1968 

approved continuing negotiations for such a 

lease. 

This document is now in its final draft form and 

the tenant is ready to submit drawings to secure 

the necessary building permits. To accommodate 

this application an interim agreement has been 

prepared to be effective until execution of the 

lease. In this connection, Resolution No. 18581 

was passed. 

National Airmotive Engine Service, Inc. requests 

a one year agreement beginning August 1, 1968 

for the following space:

jointly and severally, covering an area of 0.839 acre, more or 

less, located on the northeast side of Earhart Road approximately 

1,150 feet northwesterly of its intersection with Airport Drive 

and Hegenberger Road and an ordinance authorizing the execution 

of such lease without competitive bidding were transmitted to 

the Board by the Port Attorney, as authorized by the Board on

Assistant Airport Manager. Authority g as also requested to 

furnish both Foley and Campi and Pacific Airmotive Corporation, 

the proposed tenant of this area, a statement from the Executive 

Director which would obligate the Port, in the event that Foley 

and Campi should default this lease, to make the property avail_ 

able to Pacific Airmotive Corporation for tenancy on the same 

terms and conditions for the balance of the lease period. The 

Board concurred in the recommendation and an ordinance was passed 

to print authorizing the execution of a lease with Charles Foley 

and Eugene Campi. 

A proposed long term airport lease with Multitech 

Engineering Corporation, was the subject of a letter to the Board 

from the Assistant Airport Manager, stating that the firm has 

requested a twenty or twenty-five year lease on a parcel of land 

across Earhart Road from Airport Building L-230 for the construction 

of a five or six thousand square foot building. Approval was 

recommended for permission to proceed with negotiation of such 

a lease for this or an alternate site with actual location dependent 

-5-

in part on existing and active underground utility lines. Rental 

would be set so as to give the Port a 7% return of the fair market 

value of the property. A motion was made by Commissioner Brown, 

seconded and passed unanimously, that a twenty year lease be 

negotiated with two five-year options with rental review. President 

Tripp requested that the Airport Manager obtain proposals from 

appraisers on this piece of property and report back to the Board 

at its adjourned meeting of July 22. 

An amendment to the contract with Systems Analysis and 

Research Corporation, was the subject of a letter to the Board 

from the Assistant Executive Director, recommending that the 

contract be amended to permit a payment to SARC of $5,000 for 

the work received to date, the balance to be paid upon completion 

of all the requirements outlined in the contract. On motion of 

Commissioner Kilpatrick, seconded and passed unanimously, the Board 

approved an amendment to the contract with Systems Analysis and 

Research Corporation. 

Acquisition contract with Oakland Dock & Warehouse Com- 

pany, was the subject of a letter to the Board from the Assistant 

Executive Director. It was explained that the agreement provides 

the Port will purchase for $3 million the Oakland Dock & Warehouse 

Company holdings, including approximately 52.6 acres of real pro- 

perty, improvements, personal property and equipment, subject to 

the following conditions: (1) Oakland Dock & Warehouse Company 

would be responsible for removal, at its expense and to the 

satisfaction of the Port, of any rights of the United States 

Government to activate its dormant estate, reserved in its June 1, 

1949 transfer of the property to Oakland Dock E Warehouse Company; 

(2) The seller would be required to either cancel the tenancy 

and occupancy of the Purdy Company prior to the conveyance of the 

-6-

property, or, in the alternative, the Port would receive from the 

Purdy Company a written representation, in a form satisfactory 

to the Port, stipulating that the occupancy of Oakland Dock & 

Warehouse Company property is on a month-to-month tenancy, 

terminable on 30 days prior written notice from the Port; (3) The 

Port would acquire the property subject to a current list of all 

leases and occupancy agreements in effect upon the property, with 

the exception, however, that prior to the conveyance the Oakland 

Dock & Warehouse Company would be responsible for terminating the 

lease and occupancy of the Norwalk Yacht Harbor. This occupancy 

must be terminated to provide for the potential marine terminal 

expansion; (4) The agreement is conditioned upon the maintenance 

by the seller of all personal property and equipment in a condition 

at least equal to its condition on the date of this agreement. 

This maintenance obligation includes protection from fire and 

security from theft; (5) Oakland Dock & Warehouse Company shall 

supply a title insurance policy which shall show the title of the 

property to be merchantable and free from taxes, assessments, liens 

and encumbrances excepted as those which are specifically accept- 

able to the Port. The Port shall pay for the title policy. Upon 

Oakland Dock & Warehouse Company completing the conditions outlined 

above, the Port shall deposit the sum of $3 million in an escrow 

account and the Oakland Dock & Warehouse Company shall provide 

an executed grant deed to deliver the property to the Port. 

Oakland Dock & Warehouse Company has until December 31, 1968, to 

meet the conditions of the contract unless the time is extended 

in writing by both the buyer and seller. An ordinance was passed 

to print authorizing execution of agreement with Oakland Dock & 

Warehouse Company providing for the acquisition of certain real 

property located in the Port of Oakland Inner Harbor Area, making 

an appropriation therefor and finding certain facts in connection 

therewith.

Dedication of streets in the Industrial Park, was the 


Director. He stated that when the Port first proposed to request 

that the City Council accept as dedicated public streets the roads 

constructed by the Port in the Industrial Park, it was suggested 

by the Board that steps be taken to insure that the present prohi- 

bition of on-street parking be continued following the acceptance 

of the streets by the City. At the meeting of June 24, 1968, 

the Board passed a resolution offering to dedicate certain streets 

in the Industrial Park on the condition that the Board retain its 

present power to prohibit on-street parking. The Board was 

advised that the City Manager has stated he is prepared to 

recommend that the City accept the streets but feels that the 

retention of parking control by the Board of Port Commissioners 

would be in conflict and confuse the enforcement procedure. The 

City Manager and representatives of his staff agree that no 

on-street parking or loading should be permitted in the Industrial 

Park, and he would present a resolution to the Council prohibiting 

parking and loading on all streets in the Industrial Park con- 

currently with a resolution accepting the streets. The Assistant 

Executive Director recommended that the Port rescind its previous 

resolution and adopt a new resolution requesting the Council to 

accept the streets conditional upon the Council adopting a 

resolution prohibiting on-street parking and loading on these 

streets when opened as public roads. The City has also requested 

that the Port pay for the electricity and maintenance cost for the 

decorative lighting fixtures on a portion of Edgewater Drive 

over and above the cost which the City incurs for a standard 

street lighting installation. The Board was advised that the Port 

is attempting to arrive at a program to reduce the level of lighting 

after midnight to eliminate additional energy costs. In this 

connection, Resolution No. 18551 was passed. 

-8-

Resolution No. 18553 was passed authorizing the payment 

of real estate commission in the amount of $3,000 to Alvin H. 

Bacharach, as a procuring broker in the sale of one acre of 

property in the Industrial Park to Afco Electronics, Inc. 

The Board approved the sale of 2.33 acres in the Indus- 

trial Park to the Dudley Deane Company. Resolution No. 18581 was 

passed authorizing the granting of interim license agreement to 

the Dudley Deane Company. 

At the meeting of July 1, 1968, the Board approved the 

sale of 1.6 acres in the Industrial Park at a price of $55,000 per 

acre to the American Baptist Homes of the West, Inc. In this 

connection, an ordinance was passed to print authorizing the sale 

of certain city-owned real property located on the east corner of 

Roland Way and Capwell Drive in the Port of Oakland Industrial 

Park to American Baptist Homes of the West, Inc., and directing 

the execution and attestation of a deed to the purchaser thereof. 

Additional Industrial Park land for Harry R. Gibson 

Trusts, was the subject of a letter to the Board from the Manager, 

Properties Department. An ordinance was passed to print 

authorizing the sale of certain city-owned real property located 

on the northeast side of Capwell Drive approximately 1,150 feet 

northwest of Pendleton Way in the Port of Oakland Industrial Park 

to Blanche C. Gibson and Harry R. Gibson, Jr., Trustees, and

to Reis Construction Co. 

F.A.A.P. 1968-69 Program, "Category II" In-runway 

Lighting for Runway 11-29, M.O.I.A., was the subject of a letter 

to the Board from the Assistant Chief Engineer stating due to 

the current heavy work load and light staffing, it is apparent 

that supplemental professional help is needed in order to meet 

the deadline for preparing plans and specifications. It is 

requested that the Board authorize execution of an agreement with 

Keller & Gannon Consulting Electrical Engineers for professional 

services as outlined, in connection with this project. The cost 

of these supplemental services is not expected to exceed $12,000. 

On motion of Commissioner Vukasin, seconded and passed unanimously, 

the Board authorized execution of an agreement with Keller & 

Gannon for professional services as outlined.

The First Stage North Side Wharf, Seventh Street Marine 

Terminal, was the subject of a letter to the Board by the Assistant 

Chief Engineer, explaining that Glanville Construction Co. has com- 

pleted construction of the First St age North Side Wharf (Matson 

Wharf) except for the installation of a railroad track connecting 

the wharf to the spur. He stated this track cannot be installed 

until BARTD has completed the construction of the Transbay Tube 

in the Seventh Street area.and that Glanville has completed his 

entire work except for this track. He recommended issuing a 

change order deleting the track from his contract in order that 

the contractor may be paid the 10% retention of $180,274.94. The 

change order would provide that the track will be installed by 

Glanville at a later date. The estimated cost remaining for the 

track work is $6,103.00. Glanville Construction Co. will provide 

a performance bond in the amount of $20,000.00 and a labor and 

materials bond. In this connection, Resolution No. 18576 was 

passed accepting the work performed by Glanville Construction Co. 

Emergency authorization for obstruction light tower at 

Seventh Street Marine Terminal, was the subject of a letter to the 

Board from the Assistant Chief Engineer. He explained that Berths 

"G" and "H" at the Seventh Street Marine Terminal are directly 

below the approach zone of the Alameda Naval Air Station Runway 

13-31 and that ships berthed in these locations may possibly have 

masts or radar antenna which do not have proper marking lights for 

mooring in such an area. He recommended construction of a telescop- 

ing mast carrying obstruction lights and markings to be installed 

adjacent to the wharf but he explained that time does not permit 

preparation of bidding documents and normal bidding procedures if 

the mast is to be in place when the first ships arrive, possibly 

in September. He recommended that the Board deem that an emergency 

-12-

exists and authorize procurement and installation of the tower 

in the open market without competitive bidding. The cost is 

expected to be approximately $10,000. In this connection, 

Resolution No. 18575 was passed. 

Mr. Jack Woods presented to the Board his request for 

leave to present a late filed claim against the Port for property 

damage to his boat in the sum of $692.19, which alledgedly occurred 

on December 13 or 14, 1967 while berthed at the Oakland Yacht Club. 

This request was denied on recommendation of the Port Attorney 

by the passage of Resolution No. 18577. 

Personnel matters listed on the Board calendar concerning 

appointments and leaves of absence, were approved on passage of 

Resolution No. 18560 concerning appointments and Resolution No. 

18561 concerning leaves of absence. 

A conditional appropriation to the Bay Area Study of 

Aviation Requirements, was the subject of a letter to the Board 

by the Assistant Executive Director, stating that the U.S. Depart- 

ment of Housing and Urban Development has indicated an interest 

in financing the proposed aviation study. The Board was advised 

that HUD would require that the study be coordinated and funded 

through the Association of Bay Area Governments, and HUD and 

ABAG have indicated that the comprehensive study should be divided 

into two parts. It is proposed that Part I would be directed by 

the BARSAR Joint Powers Group subject to the availability of HUD 

financing. Part II could be directed by BASAR but the Joint 

Powers Group is not in a position at this time to guarantee the 

matching fund requirement for this portion of the study. It has 

been estimated by the Acting Project Director retained by BASAR 

that the total cost for the Part I Study would be $315,000. BASAR 

proposes to request a HUD grant in the amount of $210,000, and 

each member agency of BASAR would be responsible for providing up

to $35,000 for a total of $105,000 from the Joint Powers Group. 

BASAR expects to finalize the application for submission to ABAG 

on July 18. Prior to the submission of the application to ABAG, 

each member agency of BASAR is expected to indicate the availability 

of its share of the matching fund. In this connection, Resolution 

No. 18585 was passed. 

An oral report was made to the Board by the Port Attorney 

on the public hearings before the Federal Maritime Commission 

relating to containership terminal agreement with the four Japanese 

lines. 

An oral report was made by the Port Attorney on the 

action of the Civil Aeronautics Board concerning the San Jose-Los 

Angeles air service. 

A motion was made by Commissioner Brown, seconded and 

passed unanimously that a wire be sent to the California legislative 

delegations in Washington, in support of the passage of a bill 

that had been introduced by the supplemental airline carriers for 

international package authority. 

The item of reassignment of Board members to various 

committees was again brought up for discussion. President Tripp 

made the following appointments: Commissioner Mortensen, Airport; 

Commissioner Vukasin, Marine Terminals; Commissioner Kilpatrick, 

Jack London Square; and Commissioner Brown, Industrial Park. 

After considerable discussion, Commissioner Brown rose to a 

point of order and made a motion, the essence of which was that 

the Board disapproves the modification of committee assignments 

made by the President of the Board last January at the commence- 

ment of his term of office, that the authority to make such 

committee assignments shall be restricted to the time when the 

President takes office annually, and disapproving the action 

of the President in making today's committee assignments. 

-14-

Commissioner Kilpatrick seconded the motion. Commissioner Vukasin 

moved that this item be tabled and the motion was seconded by 

Commissioner Mortensen. The motion to table, not being debatable, 

was immediately put to a vote by President Tripp and the motion 

to table was carried by the following vote: Ayes, Commissioners 

Vukasin and Mortensen and President Tripp - 3; Noes, Commissioners 

Brown and Kilpatrick - 2.

Waldorf, representing Oakland City Councilman Harvey Binns; 

Mr. Harold G. Trimble, Jr., Vice President, and Mr. Irving Korb, 

Executive Vice President, of Duncan, Korb & Trimble, Inc. 

Resolution No. 18587 was passed ratifying travel for 

R. W. Crandall to St. Paul, Minnesota, July 18 and 19, 1968 to 

represent the Port of Oakland at the National Piggyback Association 

Conference on ports and containers. 

On July 15, 1968 bids were scheduled to be received for 

FURNISHING AND DELIVERING ONE (1) 12-PASSENGER STATION WAGON TO THE 

PORT OF OAKLAND. No bids were received and Resolution No. 18586 

was passed authorizing the purchase of one (1) 12-passenger station 

wagon in the open market. 

On motion of Commissioner Kilpatrick, seconded and passed 

unanimously, the Board approved the recommendation of the Airport 

Manager that Mr. Charles G. Gwynn, M.A.I., be retained to do a 

land appraisal on the proposed Multitech Engineering Corporation 

site. 

The Assistant Executive Director presented to the Board 

the request of Todd Shipyard to moor a drydock in the Estuary. It 

was his recommendation that the Port support Todd's application 

to the Corps of Engineers, with the condition that the Corps 

require Todd, at its expense, to move the channel 98 feet closer 

to the Oakland shoreline by dredging to the depth of the existing 

channel a strip of property under the jurisdiction of the Board 

of Port Commissioners, approximately 3,000 feet in length and 100 

feet wide. He further recommended that the Board agree in principle 

to grant Todd the right to dredge this property and authorize 

-21-

staff to negotiate with representatives of Todd Shipyard to arrive 

at a right of entry arrangement satisfactory to both parties. On 

motion of Commissioner Vukasin the recommendation was passed with 

President Tripp voting no. 

In connection with the employees' fidelity bond coverage, 

the Port Attorney reported that further discussions and study 

indicate that a substantial saving may be realized if the City 

Manager personally is excluded from the increased coverage upon 

the basis that he does not handle any City or Port funds. The 

premiums quoted for the desired coverage have increased with the 

result that the total coverage so contemplated would cost $15,774 

for a three-year period. It was his recommendation that the Board 

give consideration to excluding the City Manager from the cover- 

age. This would reduce the cost by $2,700, resulting in a premium 

of $13,074. It was pointed out that the City Manager would con- 

tinue to be covered by a $50,000 public official bond, which 

includes faithful performance. On motion of Commissioner Vukasin, 

seconded and duly passed, the Board concurred in the recommendation 

of the Port Attorney. 

Resolution No. 18588 was passed increasing the compen- 

sation of Cecil A. Beasley, Jr., as special counsel. 

On recommendation of the Executive Director, the Board 

approved entering into an agreement with Wilsey & Ham to perform 

a feasibility study on some 15 items that the Seventh Street 

Marina Committee would like to have included in the Seventh Street 

plans. This would be based on the same financial arrangement 

as presently exists. The Executive Director stated that the 

contract will be brought back to the Board for approval before 

it becomes an obligation. On motion of Commissioner Kilpatrick 

the recommendation was passed, with Commissioner Vukasin voting 

no.

The proposed Capital Improvement Program was presented 

to the Board by the Executive Director. The Executive Director 

stated this program was for planning and budgeting purposes and 

that all projects will be presented to the Board before the final 

commitment of funds. On motion of Commissioner Vukasin, seconded 

and passed unanimously, the Board approved the proposed Capital 

Improvement Program. 

As requested by the Board, the Assistant Executive 

Director reported on the continued item concerning parking 

spaces for San Francisco-Oakland Television, Inc. (KTVU). It was 

his recommendation that no more than 28 spaces be assigned for use 

by the employees and patrons of KTVU, and that an investigation 

be made to determine the feasibility of controlling the parking 

spaces in this area to maximize their availability for patrons 

and visitors in Jack London Square. On motion of Commissioner 

Vukasin, seconded and passed unanimously, the Board approved the 

recommendation of the Assistant Executive Director. 

The Public Relations Director made an oral report on 

the Port's advertising programs. The Board asked the Public 

Relations Director to have someone from Pacific Advertising Staff 

come to the next meeting of the Board or as soon as possible to 

make a report on the advertising for the flights to New York. 

Commissioner Vukasin requested that the Supervisory Airport 

Traffic Representative also be present when the report is made.

ment, presented to the Board for its consideration an addition to 

-24-

the Port of Oakland tariff to provide tariff rates and conditions 

for assessing rental charges for the new crane at Berths G and H, 

Seventh Street Terminal. He explained that tariff provisions are 

necessary for assessing charges on the use of the crane while 

waiting for approval of the crane agreement with the four Japanese 

Lines by the Federal Maritime Commission. An ordinance was then 

passed to print adding Item No. 2397 to and amending Item No. 2396 

of Port Ordinance No. 964 relating to miscellaneous charges. 

In connection with the claim of Shell Oil Company, 

World Airways and Trans International Airlines, which had been 

presented to the Board at an earlier meeting, the Port Attorney 

explained in a letter that the attorney for the claimants has made 

arrangements to take the deposition of Deward Hext, who was for- 

merly Airport Manager at Oakland, and is now Director of Aviation 

at Portland, Oregon. It was the recommendation of the Port 

Attorney that Deputy Port Attorney John E. Nolan represent the 

Port at the deposition. Resolution No. 18590 was passed authori- 

zing travel to Portland by the Deputy Port Attorney.

and would not necessarily be located as shown on the rendering.

Mr. Elmo Mazzera, Chairman of the 7th Street Container 

Terminal Dedication Committee, made an oral report to the Board 

■ 

on the success of the dedication ceremonies at which there were 

over 1,000 people to lunch at the terminal on Thursday, 

September 12, and many people visiting the terminals on Saturday

and Sunday, including the fishing derby for children from 6 to 14

tion of A. H. Bacharach on behalf of the principals of Marina

tion, Resolution No. 18690 was passed granting permit to Alvin H.

Two offers for Lot 19, Block C in the Port of Oakland 

Industrial Park--one from Alan R. McKay and Associates on a lease 

basis and the second from Mr. Alvin H. Bacharach on a purchase 

basis, were explained in detail to the Board by the Manager, Pro- 

perties Department, along with the background of the negotiations 

carried on with the principals by members of the Properties Depart- 

ment. This report was supplemented by letters from Alan R. McKay 

and Associates dated September 9, 1968 and from Alvin H. 

Bacharach dated September 16, 1968. Commissioner Kilpatrick 

stated that he was speaking as an individual member of the Board 

and basing his recommendation on his experience with the Oakland 

Real Estate Board procedure, recommended that based on all of the 

facts presented to the Board that award be made to Alan R. McKay 

and Associates for a lease of the property on the basis that 

their offer was the first written offer presented to the Port. Com- 

missioner Kilpatrick stated that he also wanted it clearly under- 

stood that the fact that the McKay offer was for a lease and no 

broker was involved had no bearing on the matter and his recom- 

mendation. A motion was made by Commissioner Brown that the 

Board grant a lease to Alan R. McKay and Associates and that staff 

be directed to conclude negotiations accordingly. The motion was 

seconded and passed by the following vote: Ayes: Commissioners 

Kilpatrick, Brown and President Tripp; Noes: Commissioners 

Mortensen and Vukasin. A motion was then made by Commissioner 

Vukasin, seconded and passed unanimously, directing the Executive 

Director to make every effort to find a location for Goldman's 

in the Industrial Park and make a report back to the Board at 

the earliest possible date,. 

Lease with Airweld, Inc, approved by the Board at its 

regular meeting of August 19, 1968 on passage of an ordinance to 

print, was recommended held in abeyance by the Airport Manager 

-3-

with the second reading of the ordinance being deferred as the 

bank through which financing is being arranged has raised certain 

questions which have not yet been clarified. 

Lease with the Ogden Corporation for certain airport 

facilities, approved by the Board at its regular meeting of 

September 3, 1968 on passage of an ordinance to print, was the 

subject of a report to the Board by the Airport Manager in which 

he informed the Board that Chef's Orchid has now requested that 

the lease be in the name of Chef's Orchid rather than the Ogden 

Corporation and that it is the intent of Chef's Orchid that it 

will request an assignment to the Ogden Corporation after the 

lease transaction is completed. In this connection an ordinance 

was passed to print. Being Amended Port Ordinance No. 1540, 

"An Ordinance Authorizing The Execution of A Lease With Chef's 

Orchid Oakland, Inc." 

Retention of Woodward-Clyde 4 Associates as soils 

engineering consultant for construction of facilities for Chef's 

Orchid at the airport at a cost not to exceed $3,500, was

Supplement to lease with Kaiser Industries for Bay "B", 

Hangar 7, at the airport to include the improvements made to the 

facility at Kaiser Industries expense, amounting to $12,412.65, 

was recommended to the Board. It was explained that these 

improvements cover 526 square feet in the hangar for which no 

-4-

ent is being charged since the improvements will accrue to the 

Port at the termination of Kaiser Industries occupancy. In this 

connection, an ordinance was passed to print authorizing 

execution of first supplemental agreement with Kaiser Industries 

Corporation. 

Changes in Port Ordinance No. 1149 relating to charges 

for use of facilities and the provisions of aviation fuel at 

Metropolitan Oakland International Airport, amending Sections 1, 

2, 3, 7, 8, and 9 and repealing Section 3.1 as recommended to the 

Board by three memos from the Airport Manager, were approved on 

passage of an ordinance to print. 

The proposal for the use of the Santa Fe Railway 

Property on the north side of the Estuary, between Alice and Fallon 

Streets, was explained to the Board by memo from the Assistant 

Executive Director. It was explained that the Santa Fe Railway 

Company has commissioned the firms of Mason-McDuffie Company and 

Duncan, Korb f Trimble, Inc., to market this property, and the 

firms have recommended that the 30-acre parcel be subdivided for 

use by a number of retail automobile dealerships that would be 

relocated from the downtown Oakland area. The Board was advised 

that the Port's staff is studying the proposal further and a report 

and recommendation will be made to the Board at a future meeting.

The inclusion of the cost of complimentary meals and 

drinks as part of the gross business on which the Port receives 

a percentage payment from restaurants doing business under lease 

from the Port of Oakland, was brought up for discussion by 

Commissioner Vukasin. Following discussion, the Board directed 

that this item be continued for further discussion to consider 

the possibility of amending the leases to suspend for a one-year 

trial period payment to the Port on a percentage basis for the 

cost of complimentary meals and drinks. 

In reviewing accounts receivable, the Board indicated 

its concern over the following items: Maintenance work performed 

for Port tenants, which later becomes a collection problem due to 

the fact that it was not clearly understood prior to performance 

of the work whether the work was being done for the Port's 

account or for the tenant's account in accordance with lease 

provisions. A recommendation for a remedy to this problem was 

requested. A back billing of cost of energy for air conditioning 

and utilities made to the 66 Jack London Square Corporation, which 

has resulted in a dispute over the amount of energy used and the 

length of time taken to calculate such charges and rental due 

from Berkeley Instruments lease area in the Port of Oakland 

Industrial Park, which is presently involved in bankruptcy pro- 

ceedings were also questioned. It was suggested that the Trustee 

in Bankruptcy be put on notice of default of lease due to 

failure to pay rent on a current basis.

Sublease by Harry Simmons, operator of the Ark and Steak 

Dock Restaurants in the 9th Avenue Terminal Area, to J. Franklin 

Salamand, doing business as Albatross Sailing Center, was recom- 

mended to the Board by memo from the Assistant Manager, Properties

primarily of water area for which Albatross Sailing Center would 

pay to Mr. Simmons $175 per month, which amount would be included

rental payment to the Port. In addition, the Port would receive

A written report was transmitted to the Board by the 

Port Attorney on Containership Preferential Assignment Agreement 

with four Japanese steamship lines under Federal Maritime Com- 

mission Docket No. 68-27 and Containership terminal and crane 

agreements between the Port of Los Angeles and four Japanese 

steamship lines under Federal Maritime Commission Docket No. 

68-26. The Board was advised that on September 17, 1968, the 

Hearing Examiner issued his initial decision in which he found 

that the Oakland agreement is compensatory and recommended approval 

by the Commission, subject, however, to the deletion of the routing 

clause and the retroactive operation provision, and at the same 

time the Hearing Examiner issued his initial decision with res- 

pect to the Los Angeles agreements relating to the containership 

terminal and the crane. He found the agreement to be noncompen- 

satory because the minimum annual compensation was computed only 

upon the cost of special facilities and not upon the cost of the 

entire facilities made available to the Japanese. The Hearing 

Examiner recommended approval, however, subject to deletion of 

the routing clause and the retroactive provision and amendment 

of the agreement so as to provide for minimum compensation which 

the Commission shall determine to be not less than the cost to 

the Port for providing the facilities. The Examiner also 

recommended approval of the crane agreement subject to the 

modification of the terminal agreement. The Port Attorney 

-15-

ecommended that the Port not file exceptions to the initial 

decision in either of the two dockets. The recommendation of 

the Port Attorney was approved on motion of Commissioner 


Travel authorization for the Port Attorney, the

Representative, Wendell E. Angevine, to proceed to Washington,

At the hour of 2:25 p.m. the Board recessed to executive 

session to confer with the Port Attorney on a matter of litigation,

members and staff who were present as well as the balance of the 

Port employees, expressing his sincere appreciation to all for 

their cooperation received during his seven years as a member of 

the Board of Port Commissioners. Each member of the Board present

Mr. Harold G. Trimble, Jr., acting as spokesman for a 

group representing the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway, 

presented a proposal to the Board for a Jack London Square 

Automobile Park to be located on 30 acres of Santa Fe property 

East of Alice Street on the Oakland Estuary. Using maps, 

photographs, and a rendering of the proposed automobile park and 

referring to a booklet of information previously furnished to 

members of the Board, Mr. Trimble explained the project of re- 

locating new car automobile dealers from downtown Oakland to this 

new proposed location. Mr. Robert Walker, Vice President of 

Santa Fe, reviewed the history of the Santa Fe property from its 

acquisition in 1912 stating that both in 1960 and again in 1965 

-2-

proposed housing projects on the property had been studied and 

rejected as they did not indicate sufficient return to the railroad 

from its investment. Others of the Santa Fe group also spoke in 

support of the project, including J. Marcus Hardin, Legal Counsel 

for Santa Fe, who asked that the Board approve the proposed project 

on the basis that possibly at some future date the land might be 

more acceptable for residential investment. Mr. Franklin Ehrhardt 

speaking on behalf of the City of Oakland Planning Commission, 

spoke in opposition to the project as did Mr. Michael Kaplan, 

representing the Redevelopment Agency, both stating that after 

full investigation and study the property is included in the City's 

general plan as residential property. A full and complete report 

and analysis of the proposed project was presented to the Board by 

the Assistant Executive Director recommending that the joint 

venturers proposal be denied. After a lengthy discussion, a motion 

was made by Commissioner Vukasin approving the staff recommendation 

that the proposal be denied, which motion was seconded and passed 

unanimously.

Port Attorney; Assistant Chief Engineer; Director of Aviation; 

Airport Manager; Public Relations Director; and the Secretary of 

the Board. 



Training landing fee rates was the subject of a memo 

to the Board from the Airport Manager in which he recommended a 

sliding scale of rates to be charged for practice landings at 

the Oakland Airport which are to be incorporated into a Port 

ordinance. Recommendation was approved on motion of Commissioner 


Bank/Insurance counter at the Airport was the subject 

of a memo to the Board from the Airport Manager in which he recom- 

mended that the Board enter into a 3 year lease with option to renew 

for one year period with Alameda First National Bank for rental of 

space in the Terminal Building at the Airport at a monthly rate 

-14-

of $0.667 per square foot per month for a bank counter to be 

constructed by the Alameda First National Bank at a cost of $4,319 

with the bank to be reimbursed for the cost of the counter on the 

basis of prepaid rent at a rate of approximately $133 per month 

with a portion of the counter to be rented to Mercury International 

Insurance, which would pay rental directly to the Port at $83 per 

month. It was further understood that the present insurance 

counter when vacated, would be occupied by United Airlines as an 

expansion area of its present location in the Ticketing Building. 

Recommendation was approved on motion of Commissioner Mortensen, 


Change in location of the present Airport entrance sign 

was recommended to the Board by memo from the Director of Aviation 

from its present location at the Airport entrance to the land- 

scaped area west of Airport Drive at an estimated cost of $1,865. 

Recommendation was approved on motion of Commissioner Mortensen, 


Request for aid for the 1970 Fiscal Year Federal-Aid 

Airport Program which was submitted to the Federal Aviation 

Agency in sufficient time to meet the November 22, 1968 deadline 

as explained in a memo to the Board from the Assistant Chief 

Engineer, which application included projects which would have a 

total estimated cost of $506,500 with the Port's share of the 

cost estimated at $253,000, was ratified on motion of Commissioner 


Permission requested by Don Durant, the principal 

stockholder of Sailboats, Inc., to relocate the U.S. Coast Guard 

lighthouse from its present location at the mouth of the Estuary 

adjacent to the old Western Pacific Mole to his leasehold on the 

Embarcadero in Oakland, was transmitted to the Board by memo from 

the Assistant Manager, Properties Department. It was explained 

-15--

that it is Mr. Durant's intent to sublease the building for use 

by the yacht club, which was displaced by the termination of the 

Norwalk Yacht Harbor tenancy. The Board approved the project in 

principle, subject to Mr. Durant's obtaining all of the necessary 

permits and approvals for the actual movement of the lighthouse 

and its relocation on the Embarcadero property and formal 

approval by the Board at a later date as to the terms of the 

proposed sublease, on motion of Commissioner Mortensen, seconded 


The request of Ringsby Systems for a sign permit for 

the relocation of an existing sign from its building in San Francisco 

which measures 16' high by 28' wide to be installed on the new 

facility being constructed approximately 400' south of 7th 

Street in the vicinity of Maritime Street, was transmitted to the 

Board by memo from the Assistant Chief Engineer and its approval 

was recommended. In this connection Resolution No. 18835 was 

passed granting Nelson Neon permission to perform certain work, 

specifically stating that approval of this particular sign does 

not set a precedent for the installation of the future signs on 

the Ringsby Systems building or other buildings in the vicinity. 

The following building permits were approved as 

recommended by memo from the Assistant Chief Engineer: 

W.A. Rose for installation of partitions 

in the building occupied by Rentco Division 

of Fruehauf Corporation at 201 Hegenberger 

Road in Port building K-108 at an estimated 

cost of $5,000 was approved on passage of 


Safeway Stores Incorporated Data Processing 

at 7800 Edgewater Drive, Building K-511 in 

the Industrial Park for installation of 

partitions at an estimated cost of $6,000 

was approved on passage of Resolution No. 

18837. 

The request of the Bow and Bell restaurant in Jack 

London Square for permission to move the location of its free 

-16-

standing sign 9' easterly of the position previously approved by 

the Board was presented to the Board by memo from the Assistant 

Manager, Properties Department. The Board took no action on 

the request. 

The City of Oakland vs Gallagher F Burk, Inc. et al., 

was the subject of a letter to the Board from the Deputy Port 

Attorney on behalf of the Port Attorney in which it was reported 

that thte Port Attorney's office, together with legal counsel 

retained by the Zurich Insurance Company, has been successful in 

securing a Court judgment in favor of the Port against defendant 

Gallagher & Burk, Inc., for the entire sum of $42,000 together 

with interest at the rate of 7% per annum from September 25, 1968 

until paid and for legal expenses and cost in the sum of $6,354.73 

which total amount of $60,291.92 will accrue to the Zurich 

Insurance Company, as all of the sums were incurred by the Port's 

insurance carrier. However, recovery of the sum will affect the 

Port's liability insurance loss ratio. 

Acceptance of the dike at the 7th Street Marine Terminal 

was the subject of a memo to the Board from the Assistant 

Executive Director in which it was recommended that relying on 

the advice of the Port's consultant, Dames E Moore, that the dike 

which has now been in place for more than a year and a half, is 

stable and that there is an adequate factor of safety, the dike 

as constructed by the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit 

District be accepted as of November 4, 1968, excepting the section 

of approximately 1,150 feet still to be constructed in the vicinity 

of the trans-bay tube. Following a discussion as to the effect of 

the Port's acceptance of the dike upon the construction program 

for the area of the 7th Street Marine Terminal being developed 

under the Economic Development Administration Program, Resolution 

No. 18841 was passed authorizing execution of stipulation and 

-17-

agreement with the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District.
