KERWIN RooNEY, PORT ATTORNEY <br />OAKLAND MUNICIPAL MARINE TERMINALS <br />OAKLAND MUNICIPAL AIRPORT <br />JACK LONDON SQUARE <br />GENERAL OFFICES: GROVE STREET PIER • OAKLAND 7, CALIFORNIA • TELEPHONE HIGATE 4-3188 <br />July 16, 1954 <br />Mr. Arthur Carden <br />City Attorney <br />City Hall <br />San Leandro, California <br />Dear Arthur: <br />The purpose of this letter is to explore procedure <br />that can be followed legally to transfer from the City of San <br />Leandro to the City of Oakland jurisdiction over the former <br />Adams' property which fronts on Doolittle Drive between Jones <br />Avenue and Davis Street. You will recall that we own the <br />property, but that it now lies within the boundaries of the <br />City of San Leandro. Mayor Knick, at the time of our discussion <br />of our mutual problems in our Board Room last March, expressed <br />his willingness to assist us in bringing that land within the <br />City of Oakland boundaries. He recognized that our ownership <br />of land within another city was not desirable. Subsequently, <br />during the discussion in your offices, that matter was again <br />raised and you again indicated your desire to cooperate. <br />I have noted in the Government Code, Section 35304, <br />it permits annexation of territory included within another <br />city, if the legislative body of that city (a) receives the <br />written consent of the freeholders within the territory, and <br />(b) consents to the detachment from it by resolution. The <br />word 'freeholders'' is defined as owner in fee (Ballentine <br />Law Dictionary). Consequently, and without having tried to <br />make any bigger legal problem out of it than that, I have con- <br />cluded that apparently the Port of Oakland as freeholder of the <br />former Adams' property can consent in writing to the annexation <br />of that property by the City of Oakland, and that the City <br />Council of the City of San Leandro can consent thereto by a <br />resolution. <br />It would seem appropriate to include this among the <br />various matters we are going to conclude with you. The <br />
