Mr. Baran. told the Council that it is customary all over the United States for heliport facilities to.be provided by the cities served. He advised that an agreement would be entered into with the. City for operation of the heliport and that the company would pay the City 25 cents per passenger. The ` City Manager stated that, assuming the Palo Alto heliport would have a traffic load comparable to Berkeley, the $12,000 ix would.cost to provide the facilities needed should be recaptured within five years. Mr Bagan stated that arrangements have been made with. major airlines whereby they,absorb about three -fifths of the. ticket price,' so that the cost per passenger from Palo Alto to the San Francisco International Airport would be around $5.00. During the discussion several council members expressed their'.views that it would be desirable to have helicopter service to the Palo. Alto Community.

A suggestion was made by Byxbee that the staff review the fence line between the parking lot of the golf course and the airport parking lot, and investigate the possibility of combining the two lots. Utilities Consultant Services Reference was made by the City Manager to previous action of the Council authorizing him to prepare specifications for consulting services in coranection with utility needs and come back later to the Council with a detailed program for the selection of consultants. He advised that supplemental studies have been made by the Water -Gas -Sewer Department and that studies by the Electric Department have been updated. The City Manager read the draft .of a letter which he proposes to send to candidates for the position of consultant, outlining the general scope of the assignments to be made to the selected consultant, and inviting them to submit information and probable cost of the services if they are interested in being considered for retention as engineering consultants for the purpose of preparing reports on the City's gas and electric facilities.
