Planning Commi~on Recommendations
A letter was received from the Planning Commission making
the following recommendations:
The Commission considered the application of Arthur J.
Northern to rezone the SW 50 feet of Lots 10, 11, and 12, Bl 38
N.A. from Zone ~-l to Zone R-2 to accommodate the use of said
D
property for church purposes. No one appeared on behalf of the
applicant and one protestant to said rezoning appeared before the
Commission. The Commission considered the application and the
abailability of off-street parking at the site, and the type,of
structure proposed to be erected and the position of the lot in
reference to the block in which it is located and determined that
the application should be denied.
The Commission also reviewed the tentative map of Tract 1711
of Mr. Jack Stifle and approved said map subject to the condition
that the north and south streets in said tract be re-designed to
enter the east and west streets in said tract at right anges and
,
that otherwise said street and lot layout and map be approved
D......~
".
subject to all conditions to be imposed by the City Council.
Deny Rezoning Application (Northern)
Mr. Folsom, appeared before the Council on behalf of the
Livermore Co. of Jehova's Witnesses who wish to use the property
requested rezoned for church purposes. There are now approximately
35 in the congregation, including children, so there is ample
space for off-street parking. Mr. Folsom also stated that most
of their meetings are in the afternoon. .In r.emodeling, the
building will come up to all requred regulations of the City.
After some discussion on the matter it was decided that
this location is not the most desirable in many respects and the
recommendation of the Planning _Commission shotitl be upheld.
On motion of Councilman Callaghan, seconded by Councilman
Nordahl, and by the following called vote, the recommendation of
the Planning Commission as per the application of Arthur J.
Northern was upheld: Ayes-~Councilmen Callaghan, Nordahl,

Mr. B. A. Stifle presented a map of his proposed Tract 1711,

treatment and preliminary cost estimates for the proposed sewage
treatment plant. A copy of which is on file in the Clerk's office.
The preliminary estimate of costs for this project would be
$996,600. A discussion was held as to how this should be financed
and on the feasability of financing the project with revenue bonds
instead of general obligation bonds.
It was decided that the first thing that should be done is to
contact the Atomic Energy Commission regarding their help with the
project. The City Attorney was to contact Mr. Overmier regarding the
;, matter.
Also the City Attorney was to ask a represen~ative from a bond
house to discuss with the Council various types of bonds.
Waiver of Precision Technology
A letter was received from Precision Technology, who requested
permission to install an alarm system in the police office, enclosing
a waiver as per our Resiution #5442. The City Attorney recommended
that the Council not accept the waiver as it leaves the City liable

he had prepared. He was instructed to submit this release to
Precision Technology for their consideration.

Discussion on Types of Bonds
Finapcing New Sewage Disposal Plant
Mr. Alan Bartlett from the Bank of America was present at
the meeting to discuss the various ways of financing the proposed
new sewage disposal plant. Mr. Bartlett explained that the general
obligation bonds would be preferable to revenue bonds as they would
be at a lower interest rate. If city sells revenue bonds, they
cannot be bid on by banks, therefore they would be more difficult
to sell. Also with no city water department it would be difficult
to collect monies for revenue bond financing.
It was agreed that general obligation bonds would be the
-- most desirable.
The possibility of getting federal participation from the
Atomic Energy Commission on the load now being created by the U. C.
Radiation Laboratory and on what they will continue to create was
discussed.
Also discussed was the cost of maintenance of the new plant
per year. Four men will be needed to operate the plant, three
shifts with one relief. Mr. Mancini stated the approximate cost for
maintenance and operation of the plant will be between $25,000 and
$30,000 a year.
The Mayor then declared a 10 minute recess.
Discussion on City Administrator
r-
After checking over all the applications for City Administrator,
the Council picked three of the applicants to be invited for an
interview. The Council will meet next Monday evening, January 30th,
as a committee to interview said applicants.

"
A position of City Engineer will be discussed again after
the City Administrator has been hired.
Liability Waiver on Alarm Syste~
City Attorney Callaghan stated that Precision Technology is
not satisfied with the release he had sent them regarding the alarm
system in the Police office. They request the same protection as
an ordinary citizen. The City Attorney explained that an ordinary
citizen does not have an alarm system in the Police office.
The City does not have waivers for the alarms now installed
so the Council could see no reason why this alarm could not be installed
without a waiver.
City Attonney Callaghan recommended to the Council that
this request for permission to install an alarm system in the
Police office not be granted without a waiver releasing the City
8,:..,
~
from all liability.
On the Council's direction the City Attorney will rescind
Resolution No. 5442 which provides for a waiver and prepare a new
resolution for the next meeting.

Tract 1698 - R. N. Jensen
Roy N. Jensen presented a map of Tract 1698 which he proposes
D
to submit in two tracts. Discussion was held on the various tract
improvement, and the storm water drainage problem. Mr. Jensen
proposes to drain storm waters in a westerly direction to the
existing gravel pit. Also suggested was the setting up of a
benefit district to accumulate sufficient funds for the construction
of the storm drainage pipeline which would discharge storm waters
from the whole area into Mocho Creek.
The map was referred to John Mancini for report, and there-
after to the Planning Commission.
Also discussed was the annexation of Vineyard Annex #4.
It was suggested that this annexation be re-submitted, eliminating
the three property owners who object, and taking in the Neilsen
o
Lane frontages.
Acting Mayor Callaghan then declared a 10 minute recess.

a financial standpoint it would not be advisable to re-develop
our present site. It was agreed that a qualified engineer be
employed.

The Council again discussed the possibility of widening this

on the financing of this project, it was decided to defer a final
decision, and to order a title search of the property in question
owned by Jos. Duarte (the NW corner of the intersection) to de-
termine if this sidewalk area encroaches on private property.

Palmer was read. (Time 12:08 A.M. March 6~h~ 1956)

Report on Sales Tax Meetings
At this time, for the benefit of the incoming Councilmen
and also for those Councilmen now seated, Councilmen Burch and
Nordahl reported on the various meetings held recently with the
Mayor's and Supervisors of Alameda County relating to the Uniform
Sales Tax on a County wide basis, said tax to be collected by the
State and returned to the various Cities and Counties.
The Mayor's Conference feels that this is a City tax, however,
county residents do contribute in that they shop within the City and
pay City sales tax. The County is asking for a 25% refund of the 1%
collected within cities; the cities feel that 5% might be a feasible
amount to refund. In any case, the decision must be unanimous.
Agreement must be reached before April 25th in order to be
effective for the July 1st quarter. This matter will be discussed
further at later meetings.
Canvass of Votes
This being the time and place as set for the canvass of
results of the General Municipal Election held April 10th, 1956,

Uniform Sales Ta:;:
Vice-Mayor Nordahl reported on the recent meeting of the
I'
!
Mayor's Conference regarding uniform sales tax. Ten of the twelve
cities are willing to go along with the County, giving them 5% of
all city sales tax. San Leandro and Livermore are the only two
cities still not contributing to this plan.
After a lengthy discussion on the arguments for and against
going along with such a program, the following resolution was read
"
466 MA~14 J956d,
and introduced by Councilman Patterson, seconded by Councilman
McClaskey, and by the following called vote was passed: Ayes--
Councilmen McClaskey, Patterson and Vice-Mayor Nordahlj Noes--
none; Absent--Mayor Burch.
Resolution
WHEREAS, there ex s s cer a n new legislation enabling
Counties to join with cities in the adoption of a local uniform
sales and use tax whereby the Board of Equalization of the state
of California may act as the collecting agency for said taxesj
and
WHEREAS, under said system the County of Alameda and
all cities within the Cpunty of Alameda must adopt a uniform
sales and use tax ordinance in order to contract with the Board
of Equalization for the collection of said taxes; and
WHEREAS, it appears evident that said system will have
a beneficial effect on local retailers and result in more efficient
administration and collection of tax revenues.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that it is the opinion of
this Council that an experimental period of one year should elapse
under uniform sales and use tax collection by the state Board of
Equalization before this Council give any further consideration
to the participation by the County in the proceeds of the revenue
derived from a municipal uniform sales and use tax.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Board of Supervisors be
respectfully urged to immediately pass and adopt a Sales and Use
Tax Ordinance for the County of Alameda in order to make uniform
sales and use taxes a reality in the County of Alameda.

Industrial Development
Mr. Haug read a letter from the Western Pacific Railroad
.1
Company requesting an expression of policy as to whether or not
the city is in a position to accept industrial sewage.
Mr. M. W. Spruiell, representing the Citizens Committee,
presented a report of a sub-committee on the feasabilityof ex-
tending sewer lines into the industrial area and approving annexation
of said area while temporarily holding up subdivision activity.
The committee thoroughly studied the matter and reported the
following facts and recommended the following action:
Facts
1. There were no serious objections expressed by local
subdividers to permitting annexation of lands providing such land
was exclusively for industrial purposes.
2. The land in question, approximately 1,600 to 1,800 acres,
is 14gical for industrial development and should be protected against
residential or any other types of development contrary to industri~
expansion.
3. The construction of the necessary sanitation facilities
should be shared with the industrial owners, and they should be
required to make substantial contributions toward the develop-
ment of the necessary sanitary system.
4. Annexation of this area to the City is essential to
the development of a sound financial municipal and school program.
5. Failure at this time to successfully extend sewers and
complete annexation proceedings will result in industry developing
its own facilities, either individually or collectively, and the
future industrial area of the City of Livermore will be lost.
~

r
n
MAY 1 4 1956 46 7
Recommended Action
1. The Sub-Committee recommends that the necessary action
be taken to initiate annexation proceedings to protect the
industrial character of this over-all area.
2. The sub-committee recognizes further that the affluent
which will be contributed by the industrial developments will
further aggravate the sanitation treatment plant. However, this
approval can be justified as a stop-gap measure to assure the
community that this industrial program will be a municipal
program, not a county program.
3. It is the sub-committee's recommendation that the cost
for such construction be reviewed with the industrial developers,
and these developers should be required to contribute substantially
consistent with the best interests of the City.
4. The sub-committee appreciates the urgency of this
measure and has held several meetings to be in a position to make
the foregOing recommendations. These recommendations are
Engineer John A. Mancini has made a preliminary study of
the area. Don Bissell of Mr. Mancini's office made a report on
their preliminary findings and will make a final report at a later
date.

man McClaSkey, seconded by Councilman Patterson, and by the following
called vote was passed: Ayes--Councilmen McClaskey, Patterson and

be contributed by such industrial plants under the existing
system by an increased program of hauling sludge to the disposal
area merely as a temporary stop-gap measurej and
WHEREAS it is mutually advantageous both to the City and
the prospective industrial organizations to develop within the
City of Livermore, which will create a sound financial program,
encourage good land use and planning, and establish an orderly
approach to the extension of public utilitiesj and
WHEREAS it is in the best interest of the citizens of
Livermore to alter an existing policy to allow the annexation of
lands exclusively for the purpose of industrial developments,

their side of the street.
Cit7 Administrator Haug explained that in order to use state
gD.S tax money on major city streets certaL1 requirements must be met.
A street must be either a 2 lane street or a 4 lane street. Fourth
Street is too wide for a 2 lane street and too narrow for a 4 lane
street therefore parking must be restricted on one side of the
street to allovJ the proper viidth. The matter had been thoroughly
rev:tevved and it had been recommended to proceed v'dth the project.
Fourth Street is the only direct line from the Vallecitos Road to
East Avenue, and is now badly in need of repair. Mr. Mancini
stated that he believed Fourth street will be a main artery connect-
ing development to the east vlith development to the west. It would
be too costly to even consider tearing up curb, sidewalk and gutter
to gain the additional four feet needed for the necessary VIidth.
A discussion was held by the Council. It was suggested that
the street be resurfaced the aame as No. & So. L Streets had been
but it was e::plained that Fourth Street has never had a grade or
sub-grade and must have @ajor construction. If gas taz money is
not used on Fourth Street, the same problem will arise on any other
major city street as all streets are the same VIidth.
A motion was made by Councilman Nordahl, seconded by Council-
man OVJren to hold the matter over for discussion at the study session
on August 13th. The motion received the following called vote:
Aye s --Councilmen Nordahl and OHren; ~:oe s --Counc ilmen McClaskey,
Patterson and Mayor Burch; Absent--none.
A motion VIas then made by Councilman Patterson, seconded by
Councilman McClaskey, to go ahead with the construction program.
The motion passed by the follmling called vote: Ayes --Councilmen
McClaskey, Patterson and Mayor Burchj Noes--Councilmen Nordahl and

Ci ty Administra tor Dean Haug 'ltJas asked to do everything
possible to secure a waiver from this restricted parking.

Council Policy Regarding New D:velopment
A discussion was held on the Council's policy regarding new
development within the City and any requests for annexation.
Councilman Nordahl stated that he was not in favor of changing
the Council's policy until they are assured of some relief on the
sevJer problem. He is not in favor of subdividing any more area
within the City limits.
Councilman Owren stated he was in agreement with Councilman
Nordahl but the Council ,has already overruled their policy in allow-
ing the 40 unit cpartment house, therefore in fairness the Council
should allow anyone within the city to go ahead.
Councilman Patterson believed the city should allow subdivisions
vTi thin the city. This will provide more competition among home
builders. He does not believe it ~lJill create a health problem.
Councilman McClaskey believed the city should allow building
until the Health Department sf1;Ys there is a hazard to health.
After further discussion Councilman Nordahl made a motion to
adopt a policy to allow no more annexation and no more subdivisions.
The motion died for lack of a second.

SECTION 2. Titles Used. That the meaning of the position
titles used herein shall be defined by specifications contained in
the Position Classification Plan, of which an official copy shall
be maintained in the office of the City Administrator.
SECTION 3. Salary Adjustments upon Ado!tion. Upon the
adoption of this plan all employees now receiv ng less than the
first step of the appropriate range shall be adjusted to that first
step and that all employees now receiving a salary within the range
shall be adjusted to the step of the range next above the salary
t~ey are currently receiving. Any employee currently receiving a
salary which is in excess of the new maximum shall continue to
receive that salary as long as there is no change in duty assignments
and until the range assigned for his class of employment shall
include his current salary. Any replacement for the employee shall
be hired at the normal rate.
v Employees' adiversary date for future salary adjustment
shall be computed from the effective adoption date of this pay
plan.
If the application of these principles result in manifest
injustice to individual employees, the City Administrator shall be
authorized to take appropriate corrective action.
SECTION 4. Administration of the Pay Plan.
(aJ That the fIVe steps o~ch pay range shall
be interpreted and applied as follows:
1. The first step is the minimum rate and
~should normally be the ~iring rate for the class. In cases where
it is difficult to locate qualified personnel, or if a person of
unusual qualifications is engaged, the City Administator may authorize
hiring at the second or third step.
2. The second step is an incentive adjustment
to encourage an employee to improve his work and to recognize that
he is a more valuable employee with n on the jobn experience.
Employees should be advanced to the second step only after completion
of six months service in the class. The adjustment should be made
upon the recommendation of the department head and the approval
of the City Administrator.
3. The third step represents the middle value
of the salary range and is the rate at which a fully qualified,
experienced and ordinarily conscientious employee may expect to
be paid after a reasonable period of satisfactory service.
Employees should be advanced to the third step only after completion
of one year of service at the second step and if recommended by the
department head and approved by the City Administrator.
4. The fourth step of phe range is to be
awarded only in the case of work which is well above the average
for the classification or for long and satisfactory service in the
classification. An employee should be advanced to the fourth step
after having served one year at the third step and upon convincjng
demonstration by his department head that his work is above average
and approved by the City Administrator or after having served two
years at the third step and if recommended by the department head
and approved by the City Administrator.
5.(~The fifth step of the range is intended
as a reward for outstanding service or for long and satisfactory
service in the classification. An employee should be eligible for
advancement to the fifth step only after one year at the fourth
step and upon convincing proof in writing by the department head
that the employee's work is outstanding and approved by the City
Administrator.
(b) That in any case where, by reason of
unusual circumstances, rigid adherence to the foregoing principles
relating to salary adjustments would cause a manifest injustice,
the City Council on the recommendation of the City Administrator
may make such order relating thereto as its descretion is proper.
(c) That notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of this section, an employee who is promoted or re-
classified from one class to another having a higher overlapping
42 AUG;;: 6 t9p6,.,
"l
....
t='..
~
::>
ec
salary range shall be adjusted to the minimum of new range or to
one step above his old salary, whichever is higher; but thereafter
shall be governed by this section.
(d) That salary rates provided by this
resolution are fixed on the basis of full-time service in full time
positions. If any position requires less than full-time service, tre
rate provided for such positions shall be proportionately reduced.
(e) That where one employee continuously
occupies two or more positions concurrently, the highest salary
range provided for one of the positions occupied shall be appro-
priate range for determining the total compensation for the employee.

not fully aware of the tremendous growth now being experienced by
the City of Livermore and of the plans of the City to cope with
said growth so that the same might be orderly directed; and
WHEREAS, in order to orderly direct the growth of our
rapidly expanding City, a Planning Consultant has been retained
to prepare for adoption by this Council a Master Plan, which shall
not only encompass the area within our corporate boundaries but
also all of the unincorporated areas adjacent to the projected
approximately 4 miles therefrom; and
WHEREAS, said Master Plan does contain provisions for a
Master Street and Highway Plan; and
WHEREAS, annexations have been made of unincorporated
areas into our City in which housing developments have already
been established, and furbher annexations will be made to our City
in which further housing developments will take place; and
WHEREAS, without immediate consultation and study being
conducted by the Division of Highways in the Livermore area, chaos
in planning will result for the City and also result in great
detriment to the State, who may be placed in a position of having
to acquire improved property for its rights of ways, which could
be prevented by coordinated efforts of the City and Division of
Highways by immediate action being taken now.

and determines that it cannot now, without further study, give its
full support and endorsement to the recommendations of the Engineers'
Sub-Committee of the Alameda County Highway Advisory Committee; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that it is the fixed opinion of this
Council that unless immediate action is undertaken by the Division
of Highways to establish the Route of State Route l08 through the
Livermore Valley, that irreparable and unnecessary loss will be
sustained by the State of California in the matter of rights of
way acquisition and that the street and highway portion of the
Master Plan of the City of Livermore will be forced to develop
without any knowledge of the desires of the Division of Highways
of this State in reference to the location of State Route No. 108
through the Livermore Valley, which would be most detrimental to
our Master Plan; and

Report on Sanitary Sewer Study (Broun & Caldwell)
Mr. Dave Caldwell and Mr. Jack Bell of Brown & Caldwell were
present at the meeting in order to give a preliminary report on
the findings of the sanitary sewer study and to make a recommendation
I, I
regarding the option the city holds on property for a proposed
sewer plant site. Mr. Caldwell explained that so far the work
that has been done is quite superficial. The present site is too
r'
close and even if it were enlarged it would not be economical because
of the growing population, it would be obsolete in a very short
time.
The property the city has an option on is an entirely feasible
site and they do recommend to the Council that they exercise the
66 SEt.) 1,195,tt)

,0::1
option which expires on September 13th.
Mr. Caldwell presented a map showing two possible sites,
one the present proposed site and the other to the south adjacent
to the Railroad. It would cost an equal amount to reach either of
these sites, providing the land value is the same, but it would
mean a great deal of difference in the future. If the entire
o
valley is to be served, a site next to the railroad would be more
economical in the long run.
Mr. Caldwell again stated that their work so far is very
superficial and stated that they would like to return in about
six weeks to present a progress report; by that time information
will be had from the Planner regarding probable future development
in the city and also the potential industrial area. Mr. Caldwell
recommended the City exercise the option on the 40 acre site but
that after further detailed studies his firm may still have the
opportunity of recommending another site if the studies so indicate.
A discussion was then held by the Council on whether or not
the City should exercise the option on the 40 acre site. The land
appraiser had appraised the land at $96,500. If the City exercised

Option To Purchase Ne~
Seuer Farm Site
The Council discussed with Mr. H. L. Hagemann, Jr.,
representing his parents in the matter, the Council's position
with respect to their situation regarding the sewer site option
and reporting that they desired a 60 day extension of said option
now held by the City.
Mr. Hagemann stated that such an extension did not make
much difference, it was a matter of convenience to the City. Also,
Mr. Hagemann requested the consideration of $1000.00, if possible,
when considering this extension.
The Council then discussed this request, together with the
length of the study now being made and the possibility of extending
the option for the length of this study. AlsodWcussed was the
zoning which would apply to the area in question, how the balance
of the land might be affected, and the feasibility of purchasing
options for land in the area suggested by Brown & Caldwell's report.
It was suggested that a 30 day extension of the option be
granted, in order to work out the details of a longer option.
This was ag~eeable to Mr. Hagemann, and Mr. Callaghan will
secure the signatures necessary.

by making a preliminary conference required for subdividers before
presenting tentative maps was again discussed.
Mr. John Hennessey, representing the Livermore Chapter,
Associated Home Builders, stated that this would be the only
community that has this requirement. Those contemplating sub-
dividing mayor may not own the property and at this required
conference they would have to disclose information that mayor
may not become known publicly and there is a possibility the sub-
divider may find he is no longer in control of the land. Mr.
Hennessey questioned whether or not this proposed ordinance was
good legislation.
The Council felt this ordinance was for the benefit of the
subdividers so they would not be delayed in presenting their
tentative map to the Planning Commission. After further discussion,
on motion of Councilman Patterson, seconded by Councilman Nordahl,
and the unanimous vote of the Council, proceedings on this proposed
ordinance were suspended.

The proposed ordinance amending Ordinance #191 by adding

they now read. The parking area regulation as proposed for each

new business will impose economic hardship on many individuals;
it discriminates against small businesses. Item J under Special
Uses relating ~o gasoline service stations not being located closer
than 400 feet to another station should be deleted from ordinance.
Ii
The parking requirements should be a matter of deliberation by the
Planning Commission and then recommendation to the Council. The
Council should not be concerned only with individual merchants but
1 all people throughout the City. The Council should give thought
to considering ways and means for municipal parking.
Councilman Patterson agreed with Councilman McClaskey regar~
ing Item J relating to service stations. He believed the parking
area regulations are reasonable providing consideration is given
when not economically feasible. In cases of hardship parking area
regulations should be waived.
Councilman Nordahl suggested that this parking area does not
have to be contiguops to the business, it could be two or three
parking sp~ces. in a parking area.
Councilman Owren stated that this is merely an interim
ordinance. The purpose was to give a review in the interim until
the Master Plan is adopted.
City Administrator Haug stated that the merchants have gone
a long way in compiling reports, checking on~ailable property, etc.
to solve the parking problem. They may possibly form a parking
district.
Mr. Kinst and Mr. Kuenning, members of the Planning Commission,
spoke on behalf of the proposed ordinance, which has been prepared
on the basis of six cities, reflecting existing zoning requirements.
Most people have not given serious thought to automobiles; there
has been an increase of automobiles in Livermore and there is no
reason why it should decrease. Something should be done to provide
adequate parking in the downtown area.
Mr. John Hennessey, representing the Associated Home Builders,
(
stated that he opposes the proposed ordinance. He does not find
anything in the ordinance that states that parking may be detached
from the building. This parking area restriction will be a dis~
108
N'bv 5 1956
advantage to merchants proposing to put up a building in the downtown
area. The parking requirement as proposed will encourage develop-
ment in outlying areas where property is cheaper. Mr. Hennessey
urged the Council to give this ordinance very serious consideration
before adopting it.
Several merchants spoke in opposition to the ordinance. The
merchants have been working toward the forming of a parking district
for about eight weeks. They have set up four proposed parking sites
and submitted these to Mr. Walker, Planning Consultant. They would
like to see a meeting with the parking district committee to discuss
this ordinance.
After further discussion, on motion of Councilman Nordahl,
seconded by Councilman Patterson, and the unanimous vote of the
Council, the matter was referred to a joint study session of the
Council and the Planning Commission on Monday evening, November 12th.
The Mayor then declared a 10 minute recess.
The meeting was called back to order at 10:50 P. M.

Bonne agreed two hydrants would be sufficient for this number of
homes. Mr. Clarke, the Building Inspector, told him he would have
to install four hydrants. Mr. Pestana had increased his development
but has never come back to Mr. Bo~e to.check on the sufficiency of
fire hydrants. If Mr. Pestana had misunderstood regarding fire
hydrants he should realize that Mr. Bonne and Mr. Clarke's word
are not the final word.
Mr. Haug stated that now he is trying to clarify the differerees.
Shortly after di'scussion with Mr. Pestana . regarding a siphon type
sewer lift for his development, the Council authorized Mr. Haug to
get under way with a program to bring fire defenses up to higher
standards. On active subdivisions the subdivider will be compensated
for the additional cost of the new hydrants; any new subdivisions,
the subdivider would pay the full amount. Mr. Pestana's subdivision
Tract #l637 was under development and therefor was advised the City
was willing to assume the differential in cost of the new hydrant
as against.lessor cost of the old hydrant. Mr. Pestana did not want

to the subdivider would be approximately $l2 for pipe and $120 for
hydrant, or approximately $140 per hydrant. This matter was con-
curred in by Mr. Emmerich, California Water Service Co., who was
present at the meeting.
The five hydrants requested for this tract are minimum
standards. Mr. Pestana has completely ignored the newly adopted
standards and notices of the Fire Department.
The Council was in agreement that a letter should be sent to
Mr. Pestana informing him that the improvements in the tract will
not be accepted unless he goes along with the official standards
of the City as set forth by the Board of Fire Underwriters.

. the changes were not unanimous but most of the changes were in the
direction of lowering regulations from the original proposed ordinance.

Discussion on "Sunken Gardensl! Park Site
The Planning Commission recommended that the Council
purchase the "Sunken Gardens" area offered for park purposes by
Roy N. Jensen. The Council then discussed the matter. Mr. Jensen
. is offering the area to the Ci ty for '$8,500 and would like some
action on the matter before the first of the year. The Park Com-
mission had made no recommendation as to what type park the land
should be used for other than that the City should purchase it.
The question was asked as to what is the present status of this
area and what agreement, if any, have we entered into with Mr.
Jensen regarding drainage. Mr. Mancini stated that at the present
time there is no commitment to the developer negarding drainage
to this area. If this area was acquired by the City, it would
probably be necessary to fence it in. Mr. Jensen stated that he
carried adequate insurance coverage and felt there was no need to
fence the area.
Councilman Patterson felt the city should acquire this
property. The City may never again be able to acquire a piece of
property this large at such a price. What is done with the property
would depend on the need. It could be a long range program of
several years, or limited funds could be used for planting trees
now; the area does not have to be developed immediately.
Councilman Owren believed the Council should have some facts
from the Park Commission, tell the Council what they wish to do
with this site.
Councilman Nordahl stated he was in favor of accepting the
site if the Recreation District will accept it and develop the area.
When this park site was first proposed, the Recreation District and
School District were both in favor of it, although at that time the
Recreation District was not able to take it over; whether they are
now in a position to do so and develop the site should be determined.
Councilman Patterson believed if the Council has spent money
acquiring the land they should have some say in the planning of the
site.
Mayor Burch felt the site should not be acquired; that it was
economically unsound and ripe for liability suits; that other land A~.
now unoccupied could and likely would be available as reasonably orv~
more so. The property would need immediate fencing.

A motion was made by Councilman Patterson, seconded by Council-
man McClaskey, in view of the Park Commission's recommendation, the
Council go ahead and purchase this property. Councilman Patterson
then re-phrased his motion to read: The Council take steps to
I:
acquire this property and at the same time approach the Recreation
District to determine how far they are willing to go in assuming
operation and maintenance of the park.
After further discussion, Councilman Patterson withdrew his
motion with the consent of Councilman McClaskey who seconded the
motion.
A motion was then made by Councilman Patterson, seconded by
Councilman Nordahl, to acquire the property provided the Livermore
Area Park & Recreation District shall agree to develop, maintain
and operate said park area in accordance with plans agreeable to tre
City and said Recreation District. The motion passed by the

that might be needed in the abandonment of a portion of School street.
Business Initiated by Councilmen
, Councilman Nordahl reported on the meeting of tpe Alameda Co.
Highway Committee which he and Jack Collins of the Chamber of
Commer~e attended. Their purpose was to see what action is being
taken ,on the plan for the proposed highway by-passing the City.,
It was the opinion of several present that nothing is being
accomplished by the committee; sometbing should be done to tryxo
expedLte matters. Mr. Nordahl suggested th~t a local committee
be formed to make surveys and studies to determine the bes.t location
for this proposed highway, or possibly a general public hearing
should be called to get the views of the people.
Councilman Owren asked what progress has been made on the
intersection of First Street and So. Livermore Avenue. The Council
was in agreement' that the state should be requested to ~econsider
their ,program regarding this intersection.

the state to review their findings regarding the intersection of
First street and So. Livermore. Avenue.
Proposed Alternate Truck Route
Mayor Burch reported that he and Mr. Walker, Planning
Consultant, had met with the State to discuss the re-routing of
trucks down Railroad Avenue. A discussion was held by the Council
as to whether the next step should be to nave studies made to see
if this plan is feasible and practical, and obtain a rough estimate
of cost before going to the Public utilities Commission.
It was decided a letter should be sent to the Public utilities
Commission regarding requirements for an alternate truck route.

Report on Meeting with Recreation District
Re: Sunken Gardens
Councilman Patterson reported on a meeting with the
Recreation District.relative to the City's acquisition of the area
commonly known as the Sunken Garden. This will be a long range
program to be developed fully only after several years have passed;
if the property is not bought now, thecpportunity to purchase at
the present price may not occur again.
Mr. Patterson and Mr. Haug requested from the District
tentative approval as follows: that if the City purchases this
,-.
property, the district will agree to operate, supervise and
maintain the park in accordance with a mutually agreed program.
i ,
I .
The District will take this matter under advisement, and
give their decision early in December.
The only alternative would be that the City form its own
park district.
Accept Specifications for Car
A discussion as to the color requested in the specifications
for a four-door sedan for use by the Building Inspector was held.
Some of the Councilmen felt that this was not a good color, how-
ever after some discussion, it was decided to accept this color
scheme for the time being, and possibly the color could be changed
at a later time.
The following resolution was read and introduced by Council-
man Patterson, secpnded by Councilman Owren, and by the following
called vote was passed: Ayes--Councilmen McClaskey, Nordahl,
Owren, Patterson and Mayor Burch; Noes--none; Absent--none.
Resolution #5639

fications prepared by the City Administrator for the acquisition
of one four-door sedan automobile for approval and acceptance by
this Council.

cations for the tlme required by law. Said bids to be received by
this Council up to 5:00 o'clock P. M. on December 17, 1956, on the
bidders proposal form now on file with the City Clerk.
Business Initiated by Councilmen
Councilman Patterson reported on many complaints on the
condition of the streets in what was the Four Companies tract off
No. P Street and Rincon Avenue. During the discussion it was
brought out that there are two methods by which the repairs might
be financed, namely a special assessment district or by using the
city's general fund. Councilman Patterson felt that holding up the
work would not help the position of the City in trying to realize
monies from the bonds of the subdivider which the City has not
released. It was suggested that as the City has accepted the
tracts, these streets should be repaired by the City and the Council
then decided to have the City crew repair the streets, and to re-
quest Mr. John Mancini to give a preliminary report on the matter
and develop a schedule for said repair.
Councilman Patterson also requested that the $150.00 sewer
connection fee be placed on a study session agenda for study re-
garding a possible revision of said fee.
Adjourn

Owren, and the vote of the Council, the meeting adjourned at

A letter was read from Livermore Acres, Inc. regarding
street work in Tract 1637. When plans and specifications were
presented covering this tract, the question was raised who was
to install the outfall sewer, the City or the subdivider. The City
r---

I . Council recommended that the subdivider install the outfall sewer
I I
and Mr. Clarke, Superintendent of streets advised Mr. Pestana that
the City of Livermore would do the necessary street work. The
outfall sewer has been installed and they would appreciate it very
much if the City would take care of the street work as early as
possible.
Mr. Haug stated that the records have been checked and there
is no indication that the City had agreed to do this street work.

itself to this work. He had reviewed the plans and specifications
and this work is a part of said plans and specifications for Tract

Washington Avenue intersects U.S. Highway 50 directly oposite
Vasco Road which extends from Highway 50 North into Contra Costa
County. It was then agreed by the Commission that all of Washington

Adopt Interim Ordinance
A discussion was again held on the proposed Interim Ordinance.
Mr. Raskob spoke regarding the Wall Street Journal which listed
cities that have had the same problems as Livermore and solved the
parking problem by stricter enforcement of parking regulations. He
sugg~sted that these cities be contacted regarding how they solved
their parking problem. If a majority of these cities say it was by
stricter enforcement of parking restrictions, then the City of
Livermore should proceed in the same manner.
Mr. Raskob stated Mr. Cooper and Mr. Hamm of the state Theatre
wou~d be glad to go along with a parking district and release the
area near the theatre for a parking district that can be used for
the benefit of the merchants in the day time and theatre in the
evening.

Councilman Patterson stated he was in favor of this ordinance
because he feels the Planning Commission and City Council will
administer the ordinance realistically and not hinder the growth
of the City. If it cannot be administered in a sensible manner,
he would like to see it rescinded.
Councilman Owren would like everyone to get busy working on
the ordinance that will replace this one. It behooves all those
interested to work on items of interest to them so that they may
be presented to the Planning Commission for discussion and possibly
included in the new zoning ordinance.
Mayor Burch felt that it might be well to get reports from
other cities, but this ordinance should not be held up.
Councilman McClaskey still felt that parts of this ordinance
fl,..,:
U
were very restrictive and unfair to small businesses.
Mr. Bruce Johnston stated that it has been brought to his
attention that the city is trying to bring business and industry

into the town. There is one ordinance that has hampered the gvowth.
Hooking into the City sewer cost one man $7,000 which he felt was a
great injustice; several local business men felt the same.
Mr. Johnston suggested the City contact the Metropolitan
~ Oakland group for their opinion; they may come up with an ordinance
that would not scare industry away.
Councilman Owren stated that if manufacturers want to locate
here all they have to do is comply. Poeple of the community have
something at stake. This plan is for the whole community not just
certain individuals.
Councilman Nordahl felt there aremany weaknesses in this
proposed ordinance but there is more good than harm and it is a
step in the right direction.
On motion of Councilman Owren, seconded by Councilman Nordahl,
and the uanimous vote of the Council, the reading of the ordinance
was waived.

Close Portion of School Street
A discussion was held by the Council on the recommendation
of the Planning Consultant to close School street and review of
the payment of cash in lieu of road construction.
The cost of the extension of Rose Street to Leahy Way was
discussed, also the possible need for widening of Leahy at such
time as this becomes necessary. When the amount of $19,000 was
first mentioned, a street to connect to East Avenue was contemplated;
o
however the recommendation of the Planning Consultant was against
this extension to East Avenue.
Mr. Mancini was requested to give a firm commitment on
street costs for the improvement of the extension of Rose street
to Leahy Way and also of the cost of widening Leahy Way. This
estimate will be discussed at the study session of December lOth.
Semi-Annual Budget Adjustments
Discussion on semi-annual budget adjustments for all operating
departments was postponed to later in the meeting.
Application for Unappropriated'Water
At this time, Mr. Haug stated that this matter was placed
on the agenda so that the Council might learn exactly what the
application of the Alameda County Water District and the Pleasanton
Township Water District meant and whether or not it might jeopardize
plans made for the proposed Valley water zone and jeopardize
residential development in the City.
D
Mr. Jameison introduced the members of the Alameda Co. Water
District Board and Mr. Hyman, attorney for both boards, who spoke
for the Districts.
Mr. Hyman explained the Alameda County Water District has
filed its application,. simultaneously with the Pleasanton Township
Water District, with the state Water Rights Board for a permit to
appropriate unappropriated water, subject to vested rights, from
Arroyo del Valle tributary to Arr9Yo de la Laguna thence Alameda
Creek.
D
These applications were made because both Districts
desperately need water. Procedure for application is set up by
!lliM>..
DEe:l .195R 141
the state Water Rights Board and any surplus or wasted water
could be put to use by the Districts; their hope is that the
r
reservoir will be built on the Del Valle property which would
yield many acre feet of surplus water. When appropriating water,
no vested rights are set aside and anyone may protest who feels
he has vested rights.
Mr. Busch stated that all agencies, both cities and Parks
Air Force Base are using more water. Both Districts feel a strong
desire to get water to their constituants and taxpayers.
Both Mr. Busch and Mr. Hyman urged the Council to support
the proposed Valley Water Zone and felt their application would
in no way effect this zone as there are still other sources of
water for Livermore such as the Feather River and others.
Plans and Specifications - Junction Avenue Park
City Administrator Haug reported on the preparation of
plans and specifications for the Junction Avenue Park. Mr. Dean
...--
is now working on the plan. The total time and cost for preparing
these plans and specifications will be approximately 26 hours at
$6.00 per hour.
Application by Churches for Directional Signs
City Administrator Haug reported that he had checked with
the League and it seems to be a common thing in most cities to
allow directional signs to be erected by churches in sidewalk areas
and parking strips. It was the opinion of the Council that these
applications be processed through the Planning Commission thereby
giving assurance of small, neat signs and some control as to the
amount and location of said signs. The matter was referred to the
Planning Commission and the Clerk was to so inform Rev. Clawson.

Reply from R_creation District Re: IISunken G2,rdens"
Q
A communication from C. S. Shelly, Superintendent of the
Livermore Park, Recreation and Parkway District advising the Council
that the District is willing to assume the responsibility for the
future development, maintenance and operation of the "Sunken Gardensll
as a public park facility.
A discussion was then held by the Council regarding who would
be responsible for the area until work is started on the park and
since only four members of the Recreation Board were present to
vote on it, what assurance does the City have that the entire board
will accept a lease when presented.
Councilman Owren stated the Recreation Board should present
something the Council can study; a concrete proposal of what they
wish to do with the area. The Council had agreed to purchase the
area provided the Recreation District would agree to develop,
B
maintain and operate the park area in accordance with plans agree-
able to the City and the Recreation District. They have not presented
any plans and their letter does not state that plans will be presented
to the City for approval.

It was susgested that a lease be drawn up and presented
to the Recreation Dist:......ict for their approval before anything
further is done.
Councilman Patterson stated that he and several members of
~
I:
the Park Commission attended the Recreation District meeting and
the matter was thorouGhly discussed. \fuat VJould be done and hOVI
soon v!ould depend on the availability of funds; this is strictly
a long term development. The matter of insurance on the area Vias
discussed; whether or not it l'IQuld be necessary to fence the area.
the District plans to plant trees, put in a barbecue area and play
field" any other type of recreation facilities vJOuld depend upon
the School. If the school facilities can be used, there VJould be
no need for duplication.
r.1r. Patterson could see no reason why the Council should not
proceed with the acquisition of this land immediately. The
Recreation Board acted in good faith, the Council should also. The
Park Commission should then work with the Recreation Board on plans
for development ',lith the funds available. Also, immediate action
should be taken because of the deadline Mr. Jensen had put on his
offer.
fvlr. Roy Jensen was asked if he vlOuld consider extending his
offer. Mr. Jensen stated that he was agreeable to e:xtending the
time.
After further discussion, it was decided a lease should be
draiYD up, possibly containing a provision that the type of recreation
facility be approved by the City. Also a long term lease would be
desirable with a re-negotiation clause.
Tne City Attorney was instructed to draw up a lease to be
presented to the Recreation District.

Transfer Funds from Unalloc~ted Balance to the
Dept. of Public Improvements (Por.Se\ier Line-Vine Theatre)
Mr. Robert Raskob informed the Council that he had been
approached by the Dept. of Motor Vehicles to submit a proposal on
erecting a building for them. He had proposed a building on the
back of his lot near the Railroad on So. N Street. The City had
flatly refused to pay any part of the cost for bringing a sewer
line back to his proposed building. This situation is the same
as the Vine Theatre and he can't see why the City is paylingJa
portion of this sewer line when the sewer could have gone out
First st;reet.
Mr. Raskob had to withdraw his application to the Dept.
of Motor Vehicles because it would be too costly to bear the total
cost
of building up the street or sidewalk area to install a sewer
out to First street~~ ~'~~~~n:1-- . Ck1
<:If the theatre is paid 50% of the cost of the sew~r line~
line
he should also be paid the same; his prooem is the same.
Mr. Mancini had reviewed this situation with Mr. Fullerton.
Since the sewer on First Street is very shallow, he suggested, to
avoid a costly undertaking, a sewer line be built along the
Railroad to P Street.
The Council is trying to do the equ~table thing; there
must be a set policy regarding the installation of these sewers.
Mayor Burch asked Mr. Raskob to present a written report.
of his problem to the Council.
