Northgate subdivision clears hurdle in stormy Fremont council
Fremont council granted preliminary approval to Bosen's Northgate mixed use project on 100 acres near the Nimitz Freeway despite homeowner objections and a shouting match between realtor Glen Webb and Councilman Gene Rhodes over higher density. The plan hinges on design and landscaping to justify the density, with further planning commission review. Residents urge traffic relief and air pollution action against Pacific States Steel Co. A failed bid for formal recognition by Operating Engineers Local No. 3 was denied. informal recognition may apply through FACE.

No special tax in Castro Valley annexed area '70
Castro Valley Fire Protection District will not apply a special tax to the six square mile area annexed last May until the 1971-72 fiscal year due to timing and state filing deadlines.

District officials estimate 10 years to fund the project at the new rate. County counsel authorized to start proceedings for a special tax zone, with public hearing and state filing steps planned after adoption of a resolution. The board also approved widening El Charro Road and increasing filing statement printing costs for the June 2, 1970 primary.

Architect Chosen to Design San Leandro Court Wing
Alameda County Board of Supervisors selected San Leandro based architect Arthur L. Stephenson to design a new wing for the county municipal court building to house a second judge. Stephenson’s contract is under negotiation with no fee set. standard county architectural fee runs about seven percent of the building contract. The San Leandro remodeling is estimated at 75 000 to 100 000 dollars. Judge Gerald P. Cosnitt is the senior judge in the San Leandro court. Judge Robert Byers, appointed earlier this year, has been sitting part time in San Leandro using the city hall council chambers as a courtroom. Supervisors also reviewed the county’s insurance program, noting total expenditure of 327 361 dollars last year. The increase stems from higher general liability premiums caused by worsened loss experience from malpractice and false arrest claims. About one third of the rise will be covered by Medicare or reimbursed through federal welfare programs. The board will study a recommendation to adopt retirement law provisions allowing county employees to claim military service credit toward retirement if they pay a double share into the retirement system.
