Yard Requirements on Corner Lots

Proposed Ordinance Amending Ordinance ;;:330
for Establishment of Disposal Rates (First Reading)
Mr. Parness reported on the proposed garbage rates at the
garbage disposal site and recommended that a basic rate of 75~ per
cu. yd. be charged. Thus far, the dumping charge has been $1.00
per cu. yd. This amount is considered more than adequate to offset
operating expenses, however, enforcement of collection has been
very dificult. This is due in a large part to the informal base of
charge, the lack of. authority of the dump operator and the inability
to devote attention to customer vehicles. To a great extent, these
matters can be corrected through the adoption of the proposed ordi-
nanc~ and slight revision in personnel assignment. The Council felt
the minimum charge per cu. yd. should be $1.00.
Mr. Parness read the proposed ordinance amending Ordinance
#330 for establishing garbage rates.
On motion of C00ncilman Nordahl, seconded by Councilman
Owren, and by the following called vote the proposed ordinance
amending Ordinance #330 for establishing garbage rates was,ordered
filed: Ayes--Councilmen McClaskey, Nordahl, Owren, Patterson and
Mayor Burch; Noes--none; Absent--none.
Discussion on Agreement 'v'Ji th Brovm & Caldwell for
Design of Sanitary Sewer Facilities (Eastern Trunk Line sower)
Mr. David Caldwell was present at the meeting to clarify
whether or not the industrial trunk sewer to be constructed east of
the City is included in the design agreement. Mr. Caldwell explained
that in the agreement for engineering services it is stated that the
facilities to be constructed will be essentially the same as recom-
mended in Plan A-I of thetr report dated February 1, 1957. Under
this plan are included the industrial trunk sewers, the outfall
sewer and the treatment plant. This eastern industrial trunk line
was not included in the bond issue but it was Mr. Caldwell's inter-
pretation that the project 'VIas still planned but the money would
come from some other source. At present they are proceeding with
the' design of all trunk lines called for in the agreement, including
the industrial trunk. If the Council definitely wishes to omit this
80

~/
line, they would be willing to modify the agreement.
The Council was in agreement that the matter be referred to Mr.
Parness, he and Mr. Caldwell can work together and prepare an
amendment to the contract.
Reque s t fr'om Chamber of Commerce for Balance
of Appropriation
A communication was received from the Livermore Chamber of
Commerce requesting paYment of $2,500 for the last half of the
fiscal year 1957-58. Mr. Jack B. Collins and Mr. Ray Centoni
of the Chamber were both present.
Mr. Parness stated that he had discussed this matter at some
length with the City Attorney and had also contacted the League.
There is a state law regarding the granting of public funds. The
manner of paYment to the Chamber can be a Use Trust Account by
which claims are submitted to the Council showing what the money
will be used for, or a contract can be entered into which outlines
the services to be provided.
Mr. Parness suggested that a contract be negotiated, up to
July, on the amount agreed upon and provided for in the budget.
The Council was in agreement with this and the contract was ~dered
prepared.

Report on Sewage & Industrial Haste Disposal Committee
Communication from the Committee on sewage and industrial
waste disposal in Southern Alameda County and Mr. Parness reported
on the recent meeting he attended. This concerns a request of some
months ago in which the County requested funds for a survey of

for their own needs and felt they could not gain anything by par-
ticipating. After a general discussioR on the scope of the survey,
it was suggested that consideration be given to the proposal of a
basic study. The following objectives would be included:
1. Collection, compilation and analysis of all existing
plans, reports and data which are avialab1e in the
different areas.
2. Definition of the problems relating to selvage and
industrial waste disposal.

NO.1, Revised.
The Mayor requested the City Clerk to read 'any protests made
by property owners in said area so proposed to be annexed.

It was reported by the City Clerk that the total assessed

wished to speak in protest to the proposed annex.
Mr. Calvin Palmer stated that he wished to speak in protest,
and stated that he could see no reason for annexation, it would not
enhance 'the value of his land and annexation would not be econom- .
ical. Mr. Palmer also felt that his privacy rights would be invaded, ~
and that he did not condone many things being done .in the City of
Livermore, and did not approve of the sewerage system, and also did
not wish to pay taxes for a plant which is not adequate. The land
is agricultural, and if annexed and zoned R-l this will deprive
property owners of the right to use the land for agricultural
purposes, which has been done on the property owned by Mr. Palmer.
Mr. Palmer also stated that he is out of the City limits and
has had many opportunities to sell his property because of this
very fact, and wishes to remain out ot- the City limits.
Mr. Peter Reuss stated that he could see no advantage to
being annexed to the City, and had bought hIs present property with
the idea of being outside of the City, in order to have a larger

u
lot andnaise ch~ckens.
Mr. Edmund C. Sajor, of Lincoln Lumbe~ Co. stated that he
had carried the first petition for annexation, and was fairly
familiar with the area; it is now zoned residential rather than'
. .
agricultural as Mr. Palmer stated. Some of the residents wished
to be annexed others did not.
Mr. John Panitz stated that he was one of the persons
interested in annexation, is desirous of building a home of his
own, as well as resi~ces for otherg.
We must plan for expansion,
work together in order to g~ow, there are many services which the
City must provide.
Mr. Palmer then stated that he wished his property td re-
main in agricultural usage, as long as he owned the property. Mr.
Palmer also felt that he had not been notified of the hearing as
he should have been. It was explained to Mr. Palmer that all of
the proper legal steps had been taken so far as notification on the
hearing time and place was concerned.

After some discussion by the Council, a motion was made
by Councilman Patterson, seconded by Councilman McClaskey, that
the City Administrator be directed to appear before the County
Planning Commission on Wednesday, January 22, 1958, County Office
Building, Hayward, to present the protest of the City to the
r
I I
granting by the County of a use permit to the Consumers Rock &
Gravel Company to operate and maintain a quarry at-the intersection
of the projection Nortb of the East line of Isabel Avenue and the
North line of the Western Pacific Railroad Company right-of-way for
the following reasons:
1. That the proposed use is adjacent to the planned
residential estate development as appears on the proposed General
Plan of the City, which use is incompatable because of dust, deep
excavation, bright lights, vibrations, noise and industrial
vehicular traffic inherent of such operation.
2. That sufficient area has been allocated by the County
Planning Commission to meet the demands for gravel operation for
at least the next 50 years.
3. Such use would further deplete the level agricultural
land and provision for an agricultural buffer in this area is most
desirable.
The motion passed by the unanimous vote of the Council.
Recommendation on Application of Lincoln Lumber Co.
Rezoning - Shopping Center
Mr. Parness also reported on the request to the Planning
-
!
Commission from the County Planning Commission for their opinion
on the application of Lincoln Lumber Co. for rezoning a 6 acre
parcel, adjacent to ~e City, for a shopping center. This has
been given consideration by the Planning Commission and they have
no objections with certain provisions. The application will be
heard on January 22nd.
Councilman Owren felt that since Mr. Lincoln has asked for
annexation he should wait until the property is annexed before apply-
ing for rezoning; he is not showing very good faith in the City.

City Administrator Report Re: Recommended Ordinance
Pertaining to Provision for Building Condemnation,
Suitability of Construction Materials & the Form-
ation of a Board of Appeals
Mr. Parness explained that the proposed ordinance pertaining
to provision for Building Condemnations, suitability of construction
materials and the formation of a Board of Appeals is extracted
from the existing Uniform Building Code now in force. So as to
place more weight on its importance and in an effort to clearly
define the responsibility of our Chief Building Official, he be-
lieves that the provisions for the condemnation of unsafe structures
100
FH) taJ 1958
should be extracted from the code text and be specifically referred
to by an amendatory ordinance. A written report on Mr. Parness's
recommendations on this proposed ordinance had been given to' each
member of the Council. A copy is on file in the office of the City
Clerk.
The Council then discussed the various prOVisions in the
proposed ordinance; the question was asked if it was the intent,
if this ordinance is adopted, to have everybody comply and Mr.
Parness stated that they would start with the most outstanding
violations.
Ratify Oral Approval for Construction of
Three Model Homes in Proposed Tract 1916 (Lincoln)
Mr. Parness reported that Lincoln Lumber Co. had begun
construction of three model homes in Tract 1916 which has received
only tentative approval of the Council and work was stopped by the
Building Department. Verbal approval was granted by the Cou~cil for
permission to issue building permits subject to formal approval by
the Council. Sufficient improvement bond has been submitted for
these three lots.
On motion of Councilman Patterson, seconded by Councilman
McClaskey, confirmation was given on the verbal approval for
building permits on these three lots.
Mayor Burch was seated at this time.
Ratify Approval of Formal Council Authorization
to John A. Mancini for Preparation of Topographic
Engineering Survey of Property for Sewage Treatment
Plant Site
Mr. Parness presented maps prepared by John A. Mancini show-
ing the topographic Engineering survey of property for the Sewage
Treatment Plant site (Hagemann site). Mr. Parness stated that
indications are that the Council granted approval and authorization
for the work although no formal approval is stated in any City
records. The Council was in agreement that Mr. Mancini was
authorized to do this survey and on motion of Councilman Nordahl,
seconded by Councilman Patterson, and by the following called vote,
the Council ratified approval of authorization given by the Council

Resolution ~-58
RESOLUTION AWARDING CON ACT FOR FURNISHING
AND DELIVERING OF GASOLINE
WHEREAS, sealed bids or proposals were received by the City
Oouncil for the furnishing of gasoline and all such bids or
proposals were publicly opened, examined and declared; and
WHEREAS, the bid or proposal of Richfield Oil Corporation,
at the quotation stated in the bid, was and is the lowest
responsible bidder or proposal,
NOW" THEREFORE" IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED, that the Mayor and
City Clerk are authorized to execute a contract on behalf of the
City with said successful bidder in accordance with the terms,
specifications, and general provisions of said bid or proposal.
FURTHER RESOLVED, that all other bids or proposals are
hereby rejected and the City Clerk is directed to return all
accompanying certified checks, cash, and bond of said unsuccessful

Adopt Ordinance Amending Ordinance No. 330
Providing for the Collection of Fees for
Refuse Disposal in the City Disposal Facility
A discussion was again held on the proposed ordinance a-
me.nding Ordinance No. 330 providing for the collection of fees for
refuse disposal in the City disposal facility.
Mr. Henry Windhusen spoke on behalf of other interested
persons as well as for himself. He felt that the people should
have more information. From his interpretation of the news story
in the pape~" this new schedule of fees would apply to all persons
whether they subscribed to garbage service or not, and the purpose
of this is to eliminate the deficit that the City is incurring at
--
I
the plant. The question was asked what was the anticipated
revenue from the City and County residents combined; his a figure
been determined. Mr. Parness stated that based upon a study made
the current monthly amount of disposable rubbish deposited at the
site amounts to approximately 3,000 cu. yds; with the $1.00 fee
this should generate $3,000 per month. Mr. Winter stated that
95% of the people dumping are City of Livermore residents, the
rest from outlying areas. The amount of yardage hauled is a
:3
102 f E.~{~~ 1958 '
~
o
~
>
=
different thing, about 50% of the yardage is hauled out by City
residents and 50% by contractors and others.
Mr. Windhusen stated he still felt the citizens of Livermore
should not be asked to pay for dumping at the plant.
The whole
thing shou~d have more study. He commented there is a strong
possibility that burning would be pe~itted at the dump, also a
more efficient operation of the dump could result in a savings and
how this proposed fee will affect the local taxpayer should also be
studied.
i
Mr. B. F. Carter stated he agreed with the things Mr.
Windhusen has said. The citizens and taxpayers of the City bought
the property and the equipment for their use and he could' see no
reason why they should pay more for it. This is a service that
should be given to the citizens of the City.
It was explained that it something could be worked out so that'
people who are not in the City would pay, it would be fine. This
was given a lot of consideration but the conclusion was reached
that there was no practtcal way to do it. The Council finally
considered it as a public utility, the trash collection service
~
is designed to take care of normal needs, if a person has more to
dump than normal they should be charged.
The Council felt that this proposed ordinance is a fair one
and will accomplish what the Council intends to accomplish. Mr.
Parness was instructed to review with the Scavenger Company the
garbage collection contract, particularly the provision for t cu.
yd. rubbish to be collected along with the garbage pickup. It was
suggested that possibly there could be two pickups a week, one for
garbage and one for rubbish.
On motion of Councilman Nordahl, seconded by Councilman
McClaskey, and the unanimous vote of the Council, the reading of
the ordinance was waived.
A motion was then made by Councilman Nordahl, seconded by
Councilman Owren, to adopt the ordinance amending Ordinance #330 ~-
viding for the ~ollection of fees for refuse disposal in the City
~
of Livermore.

Proposed Ordinance Amending Business License Ord.#200
Provide for Exempt Licenses in Certain Specified
Circumstances - First Reading, File
The Council generally discussed the provision in the amend-
ment to the business license ordinance providing for exempt
licenses in certain specified circumstances. This is primarily
for local public service organizations or charitable groups. ~.
Parness explained the change in the section defining when a license
is required and the additi~ns permitting various exemptions.
Under 2.3 it was questioned whether it was practical to re-
quire all the,provisions. It wi~l be a lot of extra work on the
City offices as well as on the solicitors. In such cases as the
March of Dimes and the Single Fund Drive, it would be very difficult.
Mr. Parness stated that in such instances the Council can waive the
requirement of flngerprin~ing and,expl~ined. the ~ntent of this
provision is to safeguard the public.

Report of Airport Advisory Committee Re:
Progress Report and Plan Study
Mr. Rex Kimberling reported on the progress made by the Ailport
Advisory Committee and the proposed plan study. Mr. Kimberling
stated they had requested from four recognized airport engineering
consultant firms, suggested by the C.A.A., proposals for a pre-
liminary engineer~ng survey of the proposed airport location;
primary emphasis would be planned upon topographical and soil
conditions. Six organizations responded to their inquiry. Follow-
ing lengthy and detailed consideration of all of the proposals
submitted, the committee was impressed as to ,the views stated by
Leigh Fischer and Associates on the needs. This firm felt that a

detailed planning study was essential at this stage rather than an
engineering study. This study would also help in the application
to the C.A.A. This planning study will include everything that had
been requested, except soil tests. The proposed fee for this study
is $71600. A detailed report on the scope of this planning survey
had been presented to each Councilman; a copy of which is on file
in the office of the City Clerk. The Airport Advisory Committee
recommended that the City Council authorize the retention of Leigh
Fischer and Associates to conduct the aipport planning study in
accordance with the proposal submitted for review.
Mr. Friedman from Leigh Fischer and Associates was present
at the meeting to answer any questions the Council may have. He
commented that he is quite familiar with this area and he is
satisfied that there will be no expense on topography surveys and
with a little help from the City Engineer, the soil borIngs will
probably be absorbed in their fee.
It was questioned whether there was an immediate need for
this surveyor could it wait for another year. Mr. Friedman stated
his firm would like to have at least six months for the study and
then it will take some time to get approval from C.A.A. If the
City would like to sell the present airport property in about a
year they should get started now. He commented that air travel is
used in many businesses and an adequate airport could influence the
decision of certain types of industry in selecting a site location.
The Council then discussed the possible future development
of the proposed airport property. Any revenue from the airport
must be used at the airport for further development and maintenance,
although if there is any surplus money it can be used for recreation
facilities at the site.

The proposed contract was then read and discussed by the
Council. Mr. Friedman stated there will be no charge under Phase
F-8 and the provision was added that in the event any soil'tests
are required such will be obtained by LFA field personnel in cooper-
ation with City personnel. Also under Phase B, Paragraph 1 an

City Administrator Report - Application
of Consumers Rock & Gravel Co.
Mr. Parness reported on the hearing before the County
Planning Commission on the application of Consumers Rock & Gr~iel
Co. ~or a gravel pit on the north side of the Livermore-Pleasap~on
Road-opposite Isabel Avenue, which he and Mr. Callaghan attended.
He was the only objector out of a roomful of people.' The final"
result was that the Commission approved the applicat10n with 24
oonditions; this recommendation will now go to the Board of
Supervisors.
The Council agreed that this is of great concern to the ciW
and everything possible should be done to protest the granting=~f
this 'application by the Board of Supervisors.' It 'was suggeste~._'
that 'a resolution of protest be drafted, to be discussed'at the-
next'study session.
Matters Initiated by Councilmen
Mr. Patterson commented he had been contacted by Mr. Panltz
regarding the Nielsen Lane annexation. Mr. Panitz and Mr. Lincoln
are very much concerned and it was suggested that possibly Mr.
Parness could talk with the property owners in the area. The
Council felt that Mr. Parness should do everything possfble,to=.
encourage a favorable vote on this annexation election; the ~r~e~
owners should be told of the advantages of coming into the citi~
such ~s the savings on insurance, gag and electricity, fLre and-
police protection and the increased valuation of property.
On motion of CouncilmaIT Patterson, seconded by CouncilmaI1
Owrerr, and the unanimous vote of the Council, Mr. Parness was .~~ked
to do anything that he thinks is appropriate to encourage any
annexation to the city.
, Councilman McClaskey asked about the fly survey; Jv'Jr. Pa:r.!l~SS
replied that he is to meet with a representative of the County
Health Department to try to work out a solution to the problem.- '
Councilman Nordahl asked that the relocation of Route 10][
and also the relocation of the flag pole be put on the agenda for

Public Hearing - Application of Lincoln Lumber Co.
Rezoning Northwest cOr'nerof Hillcrest & East A.ve.
A public hearing was now held on the application of Lincoln
Lumber Co. for the rezoning of property located on the northwest
corner of Hillcrest and East Avenue, from Zone R-l to Zone R-2
to accommodate the erection of multiple dwellings.
There were no protests, either written or oral, to this
proposed rezoning.
I
A written report from the Planning Commission was presented,
a copy of which is on file in the office of the City Clerk.
Mr. Whittet presented a plot plan showing the proposed
layout for the apartments. This plan shows two entries from East
Avenue; one main entry and one for off-street parking. Mr. Parness
commented that every additional driveway on a proposed secondary
highway creates additional hazard, therefore he recommended that
at least one access be deleted. The Council discussed these pro-
posed accesses from the area and how they would affect traffic on
East Avenue. It was agreed that this problem of access will be
worked out when the application fDr a use permit, which will have
the exact site plan, comes before the Planning Commission.
On motion of Councilman McClaskey, seconded by Councilman
Nordahl, and the unanimous vote of the Council, the public heariIig:.~

; !
A report from the Planning Commission recommending the
granting of the application for variance from side and rear yard
requirements requested by R. N. Jensen Construction Co. on behalf
of C. Haussman, 1261 Drake Way. The Planning Commission recommended
this variance on the grounds that there exists no infringement on
the rights of property owners adjacent and also the shape of the
lots prohibits placing the carport on any other space.
Mr. Bissell presented a map showing the location of the lot

rear of the property.
After some discussion on this application, the Council felt
that the conditions outlined fully in Section 2-6-a & b of the
Interim Ordinance are not apparent in the application and on motion
of Councilman Patterson, seconded by Councilman McClaskey, and by
the following called vote, the application for variance was denied:
Ayes--Councilmen McClaskey, Nordahl, Patterson and Mayor Burch;
Noes--none; Absent--Councilman Owren.
Add Proposition Re: Fluoridation on Ballot
for G~neral Municipal Election, April 8th
The City Clerk reported on the possibility of including on
the April General Municipal election ballot the proposal regarding
fluoridation. As no measure had been anticipated on the ballot,
the ballots have already been ordered and printed. If this measure
is to be placed on the ballot, a new two-column ballot must be
-
I
printed; also an amended notice of nominees and measures must be
printed. This will be at a cost of approximately $260 to $275 in
addition to the cost of the ballots now printed. Also when measures
are placed on the ballot, arguments for and against said measure
may be filed, and copies of the arguments for and against the
measures must be enclosed with the sample ballots. This cost is

impossible to estimate. The deadline for receiving said'a~guments
will be March 12th, which will give one week f~om the time of
notice in the local newspaper.
There were several people present at the meeting in favor
of having this proposition on fluoridation placed on the ballot
of the April 8th election and felt there was enough time between
now and the election for the persons for and against the measures
to prepare and present their campaigns.
Mr. Parness commented that if the Council wishes to adopt
a resolution to include fluoridation on the ballot, the proposal
would merely be a poll of the public and would place no obligation
on the City Council to request the California Water Service Co.
to add fluorides to the city water supply.
The following resolution was read and introduced by Council-
man Patterson, seconded by Councilman Nordahl, and by the following
called vote was passed: ~yes--Councilmen McClaskey, Nordahl,

Consumers Rock & Cement Co. for a permit to conduct gravel pit
operations on the north side of the Livermore-Pleaaanton Road,
opposite Isabel Ave. Mr. Parness reported the hear.ing before the
Board of Supervisors will be on ThurSday, March 6th at 10:30 A.M.;
he and Mr. Nordahl will attend.
The Council again discussed the fact that this application
is in conflict with the County Master Plan and in addition to the
~.
rn
objection to the noise, dust, etc. created by this operation, the
most important factor is the permanent damage to the property which
should not be continued any further. It was suggested that the
County Board of Supervisors be requested to pass a resolution
stating that under no circumstances will they consider an appli-
cation of this type on the East side of Isabel Avenue. Also if
this application is not denied, it should be delayed in order to
invoke regulatory measures.
The following resolution was read and introduced by Council-
man McClaskey, aeconded by Councilman Nordahl, and by the following
called vote was passed: Ayes--Councilmen McClaskey, Nordahl,

ResOlution #l~
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF L ORE OBJECTING TO
THE ISSUANCE BY THE COUNTY OF ALAMEDA OF A USE PERMIT
FOR THE CONSUMERS'S ROCK AND GRAVEL, COMPANY
WHEREAS, the Consumer's Rock and Gravel Company has submitted
an application to the County of Alameda for the issuance of a use
permit for the purpose of installing and operating a rock and
gravel processing plant; and
WHEREAS, the location for the proposed site is at the north-
westerly intersection of the Livermore-Pleaaanton Road and the
northerly extension of Isabel Avenue and consists of approximately
eighty-four acres; and .
WHEREAS, said propose! site is included within the City of
Livermore's planning area of influence, said planning area extend-
ing to the westerly limits of Murray Township; and
WHEREAS, said planning area of influence is incorporated Wlthin
the City of Livermore's Master Plan, a document which has been under
preparation of the past eighteen months and is currently in the
process of formal adoption; and
WHEREAS, said Master Plan recommends that the area easterly
of the extension of Isabel Avenue be devoted to single family
residential usage, all in concurrence with the County of Alameda's
Master Plan for this vicinity; and
WHEREAS, the location of an industrial operation of the
nature proposed adjacent to low density residential land is contrary
to recognized planning practice; and
WHEREAS, recent annexations and residential developments
indicate a firm trend in a westerly direction from the City of
Livermore's present extremes and further evidence of this encroach-
ment is the completion of a new elementary school and the potential

location of a new high school between the west c1ty limits of the
City of Livermore and Isabel Avenue, and forecasts are that this
sector will be fully developed and incorporated within the near
future; and
WHEREAS, the processing of sand and gravel necessitates the
use of heavy mechanical equipment which results in noise, vibration,
dust~ bright lights, and the associated heaVy industrial type
vehicular traffic, causing disturbances by all of these factors
-which would be greatly magnified sin~e the prevailing wind conditions
in this sector are in an easterly direction; and
WHEP~AS, the close proximity of potential residential prop~
to the subject operation would pose serious safety factors, since
many small children will be.residing in this area, that the presence
of deep gravel excavation and truck traffic would result in an
insurmountable problem; and
WHEREAS, it is the plan and desire of the City of Livermore
that the property on the easterly side of Isabel Avenue will soon
be devoted to substantial residential usage, the location and
operation of a sand and gravel plant would have a definite
devaluation effect on such property and conceivably could completely
alter its planned development; and
WHEREAS, a sand and gravel plant causes deep and encroach-
ing ground excavations which result in a blight to the vicinity and
completely destroys the aesthetic and productive potential qualities
of the land in perpetuity, and
WHEREAS, Section 9-1032, Article IV, of Ordinance No. 181,
New-Series, of the County of Alameda imposes upon the County
Planning Commission and subsequent ratification by the Board of
Supervisors, clearly defined conditions applicable to the operation
of a sand and gravel plant which are in essence as follows:
1. That the operation will materially effect adversely the
Master Plan of the County.
2. That the operation will be dangerous and detrimental to
the public health, safety, welfare, and comfort of those residing
in the area.
3. That the operation may become objectionable by reason of
the emission of noise, smoke, vibration and odors; and
~~REAS, Ordinance No. 181, New Series, states further in
the section herein above noted that in the event that the County
Planning Commission decrees in the affirmative on any of the above
listed conditions and finds that it E not possible to regulate
any such provisions, it may recommend denial of the application; and
WHEREAS, it is respectfully submitted that the County Plan-
ning Commission, although recommending approval by a split vote,
could have with all fact and substantiation found that all of the
conditions as listed under Ordinance-No. 181, New Series, of the
County of Alameda applied in this instance inasmuch as it is the
sincere contention of the City of Livermore, that the application
in question does materially effect the Master Plan of the County,
that there will be danger to public health and safety, welfare and
comfort of those residing in the area and that it will become
objectionable by reason of noise, smoke, vibration and odors; and
WHEREBY, the City of Livermore contends further that it will
not be possible to regulate any of the above provisions.
NOW THEREFORE the Oity Council of the City of Livermore
hereby resolves as follows:
Section I: That in view of the proximity of the proposed
Consumer's Rock and Gravel Company plant site to the City of
Livermore and its very detrimental effects upon the planned growth
pattern of our City, that this application is viewed with strong
objection and the Board of Supervisors of the County is urged to
deny the application.
Section II: A copy of this resolution shall forthwith be
transmitted to each member of the Board of Supervisors of the
County of Alameda.

Accept Grant Deed from Harold E. Moore, et ux.
Strip on North side of Glenwood Dr. to Make
Uniform Right-of-Way Area in Tract 1808
It was explained that during construction of the street in
Tract 1808 the curb line on the north side of Glenwood ~ive was
established from 2 ft. to 6 in. to the north of its design location.

that should be a uniform width of 10 ft. In order to compensate
for this encroachment~ the owner has offered for dedication a st~ip
inward of the original right of way line so as to make this line
uniform throughout.

Denial of Request for Easement for
Drainage Ditch (Anderson Ppty, Liv. Blvd.)
Conununication to Mr. Parness, from Appel, Liebermann &
Leonard, attorneys, informing him that their clients, Mrs'. Howard
Scheib and Miss Clara Anderson are not willing to grant a drainage
easement across their property as requested. It was explained that
some time ago the County of Alameda consented to construct and
open a drainage channel along the easterly property line of the
Anderson parcel, north of Livermore Blvd. and south of Highway 50.
This had been orally presented to the property owners and reported
by the staff. Mr. Parness was to notify the County that the
property owners are not interested at this time.

Communication from Wm.H. Gale, Jr. relative to the purchase
of a 20 acre parcel of property from H. L. Hagemann for the
additional land needed for the new sewage treatment plant. The
Hagemanns offer this 20 acre parcel at a price of $3,000 per acre.
Mr. Parness reported that the appraised valuation on this parcel
is $2,250 per aore. Most all municipal governmental jurisdictions
have set a negotiating limit of 10% above the appraised value for
the acquisition of property. This would place the City's limit at
$2,475.per acre. Mr. Parness recommended that this counter proposal
be submitted to the owner as a final offer of settlement short of
condemnation proceedings.
.The Council was in agreement that Mr. Parness should submit
this counter proposal to the property owners.

$11,000,000 in the State budget this year for the Brushy Peak
Tunnel. The State Water Resources Board recognizes that the
shortage of water and salt water intrusion in Alameda County as '

TO ADOPT A POLICY RESTRICTING EXTENSION OF
ROCK, SAND AND GRAVEL PERMITS EAST OF
ISABEL AVENUE
WHEREAS, the City of Livermore after much research and
study has prepared a General Plan for the future development for
the City of Livermore, which General Plan included all of the area
west of the City of Livermore to the westerly boundary line of
Murray Township. That public hearings provided for by law are now
in process of being had by the City of Livermore in preparation f~

apart an area in excess of 2000 acres, lying westerly and southerly
"'~........."....

. ./'. I' ,
of the City of Livermore, within which to extend sand and gravel
or rock quarry uses, and that subsequent to the action of said
governmental bodies so setting apart such land for such uses, the
Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors of the County have
expanded such uses beyond said areas so set apart by them for
such use and in so doing has encroached upon the planning area of
the City of Livermore te-- the great detriment of the future use of
the lands included within the General Plan of the City; and
-- WHEREAS, it-is the considered opinion of the City Council
of the City of Livermore that any further expansion of sand and
gravel or rOGk quarry.uses into the Qeneral Plan area of the City
would destroy the aims and objects of the General Plan I now under
active consideration of the City; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Livermore is of the
opinion that the County of Alameda should adopt a firm policy under
which no consideration should be given by either the Planning Commis-
sion of the County of Alameda or the Board of Supervisors of the
County of Alam~da to issuance of any sand and gravel or rock quarry
use permits in any lands within the unincorporated area of the
County of Alameda which will extend into the area lying east of
Isabel Avenue as it now exists and its direct production northerly
to U.S. Highway 50.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the
City of Livermore does by this Resolution hereby request that the
Board of Supervisors of the County of Alameda shall adopt and
rigidly enforce a firm policy under which.it will not further in-
fringe upon the Planning area of the City of Livermore as set
forth in its General Plan by granting any use permits which. will
allow any person, firm or corporation to operate and maintain a
sand and gravel or rock quarry in any of the area of the General
Plan of the City of Livermore which lies east of Isabel Avenue as
it now exists and its direct production northerly to U.S. Highway 50.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a certified copy of this
Resolution be forthwith submitted to the Planning Commission of the
County of Alameda and the Board of Supervisors of the County of
Alameda.

Resolution #19-58
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY- OF LIVERMORE URGING
CONSIDERATION OF THE STATE DIVISION OF HIGHWAYS
TO RECOMMEND THE HE-ROOTING OF STATE HIGHWAY
ROUTE NO. 108.
WHEREAS, the present routing of State Highway No. 108 inter-
cepts the City of Livermore' from its junction with United States
Route No. 50, and intersects the City of Livermore ~long First
street; and
WHEREAS, said route is receiving increasing usage by transient
and inter-city vehicular traffic; and
WHEREAS, the constant and rising flow of heavy truck traffic
along this route causes great disturbance and hazards to pedestrians
and shoppers along its path; and .
WHEREAS, the noise generated by heavy truck traffic along
First street in the City ~ Livermore is the subject of increasing
criticism from the merchants abutting First Street, reflecting the
views of shoppers; and
WHEREAS, the availability of on-street curb parking in the
mercantile section in the City of Livermore is becoming critical; and

.. '11; ;MAd' r~t~1958 134 it
WHEREAS, the greatest need for said on-street curb parking
exists along State Route No. 108 which imposes serious limitations
on the availability of curb parking due to the necessity of retain-
ing parallel parking stalls since diagonal parking stalls would
infringe on the safe and expeditious flow of through traffic; and
\iHEREAS, the re-routing of heavy vehicular truck traffic
along a parallel thoroughfare in the City would permit the re-design
of curb parking stalls so as to allow diagonal parking and thereby
increase this urgent need by as much as twenty percent; and
WHEREAS, the City of Livermore has been engaged in a
concentrated study of community growth and orderly development
over the past two year period which involves precise planning of
the central business district and a master plan of streets and
highways to service the community; and
WHEREAS, said plan, which is in the process of formal
adoption, highly recommends the re-routing.of state Route No. 108
from its present alignment one block northward to follow the path
of Railroad Avenue as it presently exists together with its proposed
westerly extension; and
WHEREAS, it is the considered opinion of planning consultads,
and engineering technicians that in the event state Route No. 108
were relocated to Railroad Avenue at its entersection with East
First street, thence westerly so as its extension would eventually
intersect the northerly termination of Holmes Street, that such a
thoroughfare would result in a route designed of greater benefit
to inter-city traffic and locally generated traffic as well; and
WHEREAS, the development of Railroad Avenue to accommodate
State Highway Route designs will require an expenditure in excess
of any amounts presently accumulated by the City, therefore
dictating the need for State financial assistance on such a project
if it is to be approvedj and
WHEREAS, the re-routing of this bighway to the proposed
location is of such vital concern to the City of Livermore that said
City pledges some degree of financial participation in the recon-
struction and improvement of said thoroughfare within financial
limitations;
NOW THEREFORE the City Council hereby resolves as follows:
Section I: The State Division of Highways through its
appropriate officers is urged to,give immediate study and consider-
ation to the possibnity of re-locating State Route No. 108 from its
present alignment on First Street within the City of L+v~r~ore to
the proposed location along Railroad Avenue and its extension, and
subject to the conclusions of such a survey to recommend the
adoption of said re-routing by the California Highway Commission.
Section, II: That the State Division o~ Highways recommend
and authorize financial participation in this project to whatever
extent is necessary for its completion at the earliest possible
time.
SectionIII: That all of the statistical data, engineering
surveys, and planning studies be submitted to the state Division of
Highways, which have been compiled by the City of Livermore so as ~
assist them in their determination of this request.

Request Waiver of Sewer Connection Fee
Communication from Frank Viale regarding the sewer connection
fee and request for waiver of fees for said connection.
The Council then discussed what had taken place at the
time of the annexation of the area,in which Mr. Viale's property
is located. At that time, the Council stated that one of the
-
!
considerations upon annexation was that the people fronting on
East Avenue would have sewage facilities available to them when
needed. They would be allowed to use their septic tanks until
they were obsolete and at that time build a line out to the city
sewer. There was no discussion on hook-up fees as this fee did not
exist at the time of annexation.
The Council was in agreement that all developed property
r . -1:t..u.- "K SIJ- .
at the time ofAannexation should be exempt from the sewer connection
fee.
On motion of Councilman Nordahl, seconded by Councilman
Owren, and by the following called vote, Mr. Parness was to work
. .

request for permission to submit a progress report on the survey on
the proposed industria~ ar~a to be made by the New Industries
Committee of the Chamber.
Mr. Hollis Bascom stated the Chamber would like to keep the
City informed on how they are progressing and when they initiated
the survey, there were three properties interested in industrial de-
velopment and an engineering design of approximately 500 acres was
begun. This design will be available in about two weeks. Since
then another. company bas shown interest and would like to be
considered; this will be a parallel design to the one now nearing
completion. There will be a choice of two designs which will
give methods of cost, negotiation with the city for sewage,
annexation, everything will be spelled out at least in a suggested
form. The designs will contain information on sewage trunks to the

Discussion on Re-writing Ordinance to
Position of City Manager
The Council felt that personnel matters~ such as the above
appo~ntment, should be handled by the City Administrator and not
come'to the Council at all. It was explained that this is

.
be n~cessary under a City Manager type ordinance. The only concern
th~ 90uncil would then have would be regarding department heads.

Report of City Administrator Re:
Agreement with Bank of America for
Appointment as Paying Agent for the City
Mr. Parness explained that an important phase of our forthcoming
bond sale will be the attraction of eastern markets. A seemingly
insignificant part of ;:l:ls sale will be the readily available payment
of bond interest and princi,pal amounts at a convenient time and place.
Only the large institutions having out of state associations can do
this on our behalf; the fee is relative1y,minor and equals a rate of
5~ for the payment of a coupon. Mr. Parness therefore recommended
that an agreement be negotiated with the Bank of America designating
the bank as paying agent for the City's $1;300,000 authorized general
obligation bond issue. Stone and Youngberg, our financial consultants,
. . .
recommended this procedure.
The City Attorney read the proposed agreement and the matter
was discussed by the Council.
The following resolution was read and introduced by Councilman
I
Patterson, seconded by Councilman McClaskey, and by the following
called vote was passed: Ayes--Councilmen McClaskey, Nordahl, Owren,
Patterson and Mayor Burch; Noes--none; Absent--none.
Resolution ~21-58
WHEREAS, it has been determine by the City Council that it
is necessary that the City enter into a contract with a paying agent

Petition from Lincoln Lumber Co. for Annexation
Refer to County Boundary Commi&sion
The City Clerk reported on the petition from Lincoln Lumber
Compan~ for the annexation of 79 acres under the uninhabited territory
ac t . (Eas t Ave.. Annex #2) Ac cording to pre sen t findings there are

Request to Connect to
City Sewer Prior to Annexation
Mr. Parness stated that Mr. Lincoln has requested extension of
sewer facilities to his proposed shopping center, .located in the pro-
posed annexation, before the annexation is complete. Mr, Lincoln
has the commercial zone already approved by the County and he has
all his potential tenants ready to take occupancy. If he has to
wait until completion of the annexation, it will be August before he
can start construction. Mr. Lincoln would like authorization from
the Council for extension of sewer services subject to the annexation
being completed. Mr. Mauretta, representing Lincoln Lumber Co.,
stated that he is sure that 2/3 majority of the value o~ the terri~ory
will be available so there should be nothing to hold up the annexation;
the timing is the only proplem.
The Council felt that the application for a building permit
should comply with all city codes and should be presented to the
Planning Commission for approval. Mr. Mauretta stated that his
company certainly will submit all plans to the city for their approval
before the start of construction.

McClaskey, the Council will accept. sewage discharge from this pro-
posed commercial development subject to the following conditions:

Design Estimate $295,000. Design Estimate $870,000.

Total l329,000. To tal 1953,500.
Prelim. estimate $230,000. Prelim. estimate $949,600.
The total for both the trunk lines and treatment plant is
$1,282,500.
Mr. Bissell explained the basic difference between the engineerrs
estimate now and the preliminary estimate is the trunk lines, the
change in size and also longer lines. Including the land cost of
$113,000 to the total of the design estimate brings the total to
$1,395,500.
Mr. Bissell introduced Mr. Frank Kersnar of Brown and Caldwell.,
who lV"ould answer any questions the Council may have.
Councilman Shirley asked about locating the trunk lines
straight to Isabel Avenue from.the Wagoner property instead of as
now proposed and Mr. Bissell replied that it is not topographically
feasible to bring it in a straight line.
The question was asked if the proposed estimate included
rights-of-way and Mr. Bissell replied no, it does not.
The Council discussed the difference between the bond issue
and the engineerrs .estimate; the bond issue being about $100,000.
short of the estimate, and asked Mr. Kersnar what has beenhis
experience of estimates with bids. He replied that bidding is
much tighter this year; he feels the estimate is high and the contract
should go for less.
The Council then discussed various passitllities for cutting
down the cost at the treatment plant. The question was brought up as
to the need for two digesters and Mr. Kersnar stated the two digest~s
are very necessary; if one goes bad, there is always the second one
to fall back on, and it may take a month to get it back in working
condition.
A question as to the capacity of the plant was answered by
Mr. Kersnar stating that tts capacity is 2~ million gallons per day

Mr. Kersnar stated the plant is designed for very simple
and relatively inexpensive expansion. There are two primary tanks
initially; one of the units being used as a secondary tank can be
r-

used as a primary tank in enlarging. ~10 secondary tanks and one
trickling filter Hill be all that would be needed to double the
capacity of the plant.
. Mr. Kuennin~ of the Planning Commission, stated he believed
there are a fei-'J' things that are somevIhat deluxe in the prop03ed
plant. He suggested the Council ask Brown and Caldvlell to make a
list of items according to their priority of what can be taken out
up to an amount of $100,000. Mr. Kuenning also stated that Mr.
Caldwell had agreed it was feasible to have one digester and
provide a lagoon or hole in the ground for partly digested sludge.
Mr. Kersnar replied there is not much that can be cut out that
would amount to a great deal. Lagoons, as }tr. Kuenning suggested,
has been discussed but a decision had been made that it was not
proper to put in lagoons.
v~. Bissell was asked how he felt about two digester tanks
and he stated that two would be more effective; it will supply
immediate Deeds with expansion to the future; in the long run two
digester tanks will give better operation.
Mr. H. H. Davison of Stone & Youngberg, financial consultants
on the bond issue, was, present at the meeting and commented that
one thing to be considered in deciding whether or not to reduce the
ex~enditure now is what is going to be the ability to finance five
years from now as compared to the present time. A discussion was
then held on the time schedule of calling for construction bids and
selling of the bonds. Mr. Davison stated that whenever possible
they like to know what the cost will be because you may not have
to sell all the bonds. Mr. Bissell stated that the later '\tIe go
into summer the higher construction bids \ili11 be, and urged the
Council to call for bids as soon as possible.

Re: Weed Abatement Program
Mr. Parness stated that this program on weed abatement which
he is recommending, is under the auspices of the State Law; it is
a long drawn out process which starts now and continues through
August and he explained the procedure to be followed. It was
suggested all abatement of weeds be accomplished by the discing
process; the Fire Chief felt this was the best method. Discing

will be done somewhere between May 6 and June 10j approximately
315 private parcels are involved, the total abatement program will
cost between $10,000 and $12,000.
The Fire Chie~ was asked if there was any damage by fire last
year and he replied there was no damage last year but there is
always the danger of fire get.ting --away and there are a certain
amount of complaints from neighboring property owners. Also air
pollution requires a wind in excess of five miles an hour before
burning, which can be dangerous.
The Council was in agreement that this weed abatement pro gran
should be commenced, and in addition to the posting of property,
property owners should be notified by mail if possible.

Girl Scout Building at Junction Ave. Park
Construction of Rest Rooms
Re51uest Waiver of Sewer Connection Fees
Communication trom Del Valle Girl Scout Council, Inc. re-
garding the construction of reSt rooms at the Girl Scout house at
the Junction Avenue Park, and request for waiver of sewer connecticn
fees. Representatives of the Girl Scout Council have informed the
City Administrator that a prior Council had formally agreed to
participate in the cost of rest room facilities at the Girl Scout
building site in the Junction Avenue Park in an amount of one-half
of construction cost. In a search of our records no action was
~
noted in this regard. The Council's agreement may have been stated
at a former study session.
The Council members who had been on the Council at that time
recalled that it was the City's wish that the rest rooms be separate
so that they could serve the public and the Council had agreed to
pay 5~ of the cost. As to the maintenance cf the building, no one
was certain that a decision had been made.
On motion of Councilman Shirley, seconded by Councilman
~il
'I f.
,...
,- .
Medeiros, and the unanimous vote of,the CounCil, the City Admini-
strator was instructed to disburse the fUnds necessarY, one-half of
the cost of the rest room facilities, when the construction is
complete as certified by-the Building Inspector and also to waive
the sewer connection fee.
The maintenance proqlem was1eft open for the present; the
City Administrator will report to the City Council when more in-
formation is available.

forms and systems in operation at this time. Their proposal for
the a~it for the present fiscal year quotes a maximum fee of $1,000
for a detailed audit at the expiration of this fiscal year in
addition to a semi-annual survey. This fee appears reasonable and
justified. Mr. Parness recommended that the Council authorize
their retention for this project. In addition, he recommended that
they be retained for the 1958-59 fiscal year for a fee10f $850. to
perform the same service.
A co~y of Mr. Landis's proposal is on file in the office of
the City Clerk. The matter was then discussed by the Council. The
recommendation of Jack Hale, Director of Finance, that Mr. Landis
can give us a good audit.for less money because he has the records
and schedules ~o~ previOUS fiscal years, where a.s a new auditor
would have to repeat all this work and the fee would exceed that
of Mr. Landis, was discu~sed. The Council felt that they should
~ ,uJ-.
not hire Mr. Landisnbe~ause he was retained last year. Mr. Parness
-
I
stated sometimes1this is a good thing if the firm is of high
integrity; Mr. Landis's audit was conducted to our satisfaction
and he gave us a great deal of assistance. in sett~ng 'Up our present
system by suggesting additional procedures and changes.
Mayor Nordahl stated he felt the Council should follow the
same procedure as last year; draw up a set of specifications and
then ask for bids.
The Council diecussed the two alternatives submitted by Mr.
Landis and on motion of Councilman Shir.ley, seconded by Councilman
Patterson, and Oy the following called vote, George L. Landis was
to be instructed to proceed with the audit as recommended with a
maximum fee of $1,000 for a detailed audit at the expiration of
this fiscal year in addition to a semi-annual surve~ for this
fiscal year only; Ayes--Councilmen McClaskey, Medeiros, Patterson,

Master Plan Study of Freeways and Expressways
CommUnication from the Alameda County Surveyor regar~ the
County Master Plan Study of freeways and expressways in compliance
with Senate Concurrent Resolution ~o. 26.
The County has committed the cities in Alameda COUBty
through gas tax funds, unanimous approval to the contract was given
by tbe Mayor's Confer.ence who agreed that the cities would partici-
pate in 1/3 of the cost of the survey. Th& allocation of costs to
each c~ty has been determined on the basis of the Mayor's formula.

Medeiros, ,and the unanimous vote of the Council, the matter was
referred to a study session for discussion.
Request Re-imbursement of Cost of Plumbing Services
Conmunication from Marin Mihoevich requesting re-1mbursement
of cost of plumbing services was discussed. Due to a stopped-sewer
,
line, Mr_ Mihoevich called a 'local plumbing firm >>0 relieve the
flow and in the process it was found that the City1smain line was
clogged. Immediately upon notification, the City foraes relieved
the situation. MrJ. Parness explained that if our forces had been
called at the outset of the trouble, investigation by our crews
would have indicated a City trunk line to be at fault, however Mr.
Mihoevich called in a plumbing firm who found this condition to be
true, therefore he recommended that the statement .for plumbing
services in the amount of $37.50 be denied since this service was
encumbered by Mr. Mihoevich.
The.matter was then discussed by the Council. If it is
going to be the policy that people should call the city out to look
at their sewer before calling a plumber, there should be some
publicity on this so that people will know what they should do.
It was questioned, however, whether or Dot.this.woUld be more of an
expense to the City. . The GOUl\'cil agreed it ShOULd be the policy
not to call the city every time a sewer is plugged. If, at a later
time, it is found that this procedure does not work out, other
arrangements can be made.

Authorize City Administrator to Negotiate the
Retention of an Appraiser in Cooperation with
the High School
The City Administrator reported on a joint meeting with
representatives of the City Park Commission, Recreation District,
Vila Gulf Board and the High School District to discuss the eventual
disposal of the recreation park property. It was the consensus that
this land must be retained by a public jurisdiction for public usage
when it is offered for sale by the High School District. An inter-
related factor was the possibility of sale or transfer of ownership
of the balance of property operated by the Vila Gulf Housing
Authority. This parcel is in demand by the High School District so
as to qualify that plant for additional student enrollment. Although
it was not conceded by the Housing Authority that their facility could
be disposed of at this time, it was considered possible that they
may grant an option to the High School District to purchase the
balance of their property in 1~62, the final, legal date for operating
these units.
So as to arrive at a fair market value for the Vila Gulf
property and the Recreation Park property, all members present reco~
mended a joint retention of a qualified appraiser to place a value on
both parcels.
Mr. Parness recommended that he be authorized to negotiate
the retention of an appraiser in cooperation with the High School
District Superintendent with the City's share of the fee for said
appraisal to be 1/4 of the total cost.
On motion of Councilman Medeiros, seconded by Councilman
Shirley, and the unanimous vote of the Council, the recommendation
of the City Administrator was approved and the City will participate

Public Hearing - Proposed Sale of Additional 1958 :
Sewer Bonds to Finance the Industrial Trunk Sewers
At this time an informal public hearing was held in order
that the public might express opinions as to the possible sale of
unused sewer bonds previously authorized for sale by the electorate.
Additional revenue will be needed to finance a portion of the
City's proposed industrial trunk line in addition to the cost of
installation of the excess capacity sizes for the extension to be
installed by industry. TOtal cost to the City of this project is
estimated to be approximately $130,000.
r.l
LJ
Mr. Parness presented figures on the actual revenue as of
June 30, 1958 and the estimated expenditures for the fiscal year
I
which would leave an estimated excess expenditure of $136,185.
Other possible revenues would be from the sale of the present
treatment plant site which possibly would generate $155,000 but
this cannot be sold until the new plant is operable. Another
major source of revenue might be from a Federal Grant under Public
Law #660 which has been applied for and there is now a strong
,
possibility that the City of Livermore will qualify; this grant
..
would amount to $250,000. Also throughout the year sewer connection
fees are collected but most of these are paid under protest; the
most to be acquired for use would be approximately $6,000.
Mr. Bissell, Director of Public WorkS, presented a map show-
ing the location of the proposed industrial sewer. This larger line
[.3

\ I
as proposed by the City will have a capacity of 2500 gallons per
acre per day for 760 acres included in the proposed agreement. The
additional cost over and above the cost proposed by the industrial
developers is approximately $30,000.
Various citizens were present at the meeting to express their
opinions. The discussion covered the necessity for the diversity of
industry, the benefit to the taxpayer from the development of an
industrial area, the reasons for a larger line than that proposed
by the developers, the policy of the City relating to similar need
1
for larger' lines in residential developments, the cost of City
services to the area, the waiver of annexation fees and questions
were asked on the development of the area north of Highway 50.
On motion of Councilman Patterson, seconded by Councilman
Medeiros, and the unanimous vote of the Council, the public hearing
was closed.
The Mayor then declared a 10 minute recess.
The meeting was called back to order at 10:00 P. M.
Councilman Medeiros stated he was fully convinced that the
City should go to a bigger line and on motion of Councilman Medeiros,
seconded by Councilman McClaskey, and by the following called vote,
the city would go for a bigger line and use other pledged monies to
finance: Ayes--Councilmen McClaskey, Medeiros, and Shirley; Noes--
Councilman Patterson, and Mayor Nordahl; Absent--none.

Report Re Costs Associated with Sanitary Sewer Survey

sanitary sewer survey as prepared by Brown and Caldwell under the
Agreement dated July 16,1956 and the claim of Dames & Moore for the

I I

maximum fee stated in the agreement was $10,500; the expenses
incurred by Brown and Caldwell were $12,253.50.

and borings with Brown and Caldwell. The City Manager was instructed
to so inform Brown and Caldwell.

Set Tax Rate for Fiscal Year 1958-59
At this time the Council discussed the proposed tax rate for
the 1958-59 fiscal year. The indicated rates as suggested in the
preliminary budget equal $1.95 per $100 assessed valuation. Since
the notiffcation of receipt of a Federal Grant to the city of
$250,000. for the construction of the sewage treatment plant, a
portion of this money can be used for the retirement of the 1958
Sewer Bond and therefore reduce the tax rate.
The Council discussed various means of using the money,
such as buying other cities bonds paying a better rate of interest
or buy .any future assessment district bonds that might accrue.
After further discussion, on motion of Councilman Patterson,
seconded by Councilman Shirley, the Council voted unanimot].sly to
reduce the tax rate 9~ this year.to make the total tax rate $1.86
and then evaluate the possibility of other uses of the money for
next year.
The following resolution was read and introduced by Counci1-
man Shirley, seconded by Councilman Medeiros, and by the following

Accept Grant of Easement - Gandolfo etal
It was explaiped that a signed easement has been obtained
from this property owner providing a route for our east interceptor
sewer trunk line to the new treatment plant site. Signatures were'
difficult, due to the number of family members involved, and also
a religious order. The easement requires the payment by the City
to the three family members an amount equal to $125 each. This
differs a bit from the original agreement which had been approved
by some owners of this parcel whereby the City authorized the
granting of two sewer connection fees. This amounts to a cash
value of $300 whereas the property owners are requesting a cash
payment equal to a total of $375. Unfortunately, it is necessary
that we obtain this easement immediately since-it must be submitted
to the federal government for completion of our Federal Grant
~
application.

Authorize Mayor to Sign Letter Re Contractual
Arrangements with Brown & Caldwell for Design
of Proposed Industrial Trunk Sewer Line
City Manager William Parness reported regarding contractual
arrangements with the firm of Brown and Caldwell for the design of
the proposed industrial trunk sewer line:
At the Council meeting of August 8, 1958 a motion was adopted
appointing the firm of Brown and Caldwell as engineering consultants
to prepare plans and specifications for the proposed industrial sewer
trunk line. In discussing contractual arrangements with this firm
and our City Attorney~ it was concluded that reference to our
present contract regarding the new treatment plant design would
-
suffice with a few minor exceptions. The primary exceptions are that
the City shall conduct all inspections for the proposed construction
and that the engineering design shall be completed on or before
December 1, 1958. A letter has been pr~pared to serve as an addendum
.
to the original contract setting forth these conditions"
This matter was then discussed by the Council. Councilman
Patterson asked - does the letter amendment to our sewer engineering
design contract fall within the scope of work of the basic contract
with Brown and Caldwell and does it fully protect the City's interests,
and the City Mariager replied yes, it does.
On motion of Councilman Shirley, seconded by Councilman
Patterson, and the unanimous vote of the Council, the Mayor was
authorized to sign the letter on behalf of the City.

County of Alameda Uniform House
Numbering System
The Council now discussed the proposed County of Alameda
Uniform House numbering system. At the City Council study session
of September 22, 1958 an oral report was rendered by a representative
of the planning firm Hahn Wise and Barber regarding the application
of the proposed uniform house numbering system to our City. This
matter was placed on the agenda for discussion and decision by the
Council.
I ;
A resolution adopted by the Chamber of Commerce had been
distributed to the Council, the Chamber recommending that the
Council not consider entering into a contract for including Livermore
Valley in a county.wide street numbering system.,
The Council felt that since there is a natural barrier
surrounding the Livermore Valley and no possibility of the joining
of the two valleys, there would be no confUsion of misf~t ~treet
numbers such as may exist with Hayward and San Leandro.
Councilman Patterson stated that he favors the last paragraph
of the Chamber's resolution - that the City Council request Alameda
County Board of Supervisors to formulate a uniform street numbering
system designed solely for Livermore Valley.
A motion was then made by Councilman Medeiros, and seconded
by Councilman Shirley, that the City not participate in the numbering
system of the County. The motion passed by the following vote:

Ayes--Councilmen McClaskey, Medeiros, Patterson, Shirley and Mayor

The Council then discuased,the possibility of asking the
Board of SuperVisors to re-study the system and possibly adapt it
to this valley. This possibly could come under the present contract.
A motion was made by Councilman Patterson that the Council
ask the County to consider a plan to develop a uniform street
numbering system for the entire Livermore Valley. The motion died
for lack of a second.
Tract 1942 - Sunset Development Co.
This tract comprises the first subdivision to be submitted by
the Sunset Development Co. incorporating part of the 500 acre Wagoner
ranch area. It consists of 145 lots. The subdivision agreement has
been drafted with certain variations.
Mr. Don Bissell, Director of Public Works, presented a
tentative map of the overall area and explained that the prob~.ms
faced with this area and what solutions had been arrived at.
t:I.'."..
II
The two variations to the agreement were that a lift station
will be installed by the subdivider with the understanding that
within six months after completion of the treatment plant the
subdivider must connect to the south trunk line. 'l\1e other vari-
ation being that a 15" line instead of an 8" line be installed
between Station No. .1+30.27 and Station No. '8+89.98 as shown on
Sheet 6 of the improvement plans for Tract 1942. The City will
contribute toward the difference in size of the line in an amount
I
of $1983.60.

Discussion on Sale of Sewer Plant
Mr. Parness stated that several real estate agents have been
interested in purchasing some of the sewer plant property and he
wondered if the Council wished to consider drafting a proposition
to sell the property at this time. The Council felt there is no
real need to sell the property at this time and-the price will not
be less at a later date. The staff was instructed to prepare for
said sale, such as legal descriptions of the property, development,
the possible area to .be reserved, all details under way for the
future sale of the property.
Report Re Vila Gulf Play Yard
Mr. Parness read a letter from the Housing Authority regarding
the play yard at Vila Gulf. They cannot re-locate the area because
there is no available space, and are doing everything possible to
eliminate the problem.

After some discussion the Council instructed the City

consideration of the employment of a recreation supervisor guring

Councilman Shirley was excused during the above discussion.
Meet With Park Commission
Councilman Medeiros stated that a member of the, Park
- ,
Commission has told him that the Park Commission, was disappointed
in not being invited to the recent meeting of the Council and
Recreation District. The Park Commission seems to have nothing to
. ,
do and seldom has meetings.
The Council discussed the various duties of the Park Co~s-
sion. The responsibilities of the City for parks are very small
and the City has no recreation type parks, ,just park-ways and small
parks. It should be determil)ed if there is a need for this gr.oup.
Possibly there is not enough for this group to do as the City is
virtually out of the recreation business. Also there i. possibly
a laxity on the part of the City in not adopting certain recom-
mendations made .by the Park Commissi9n.
It was deeided to invite the Park Commission to attend the
next Council study session on October 13th.

Open Bids - City's Needs of Four
Door Sedans and Station Wagons
On motion of Councilman Patterson, seconded by Councilman
Medeiros, and the unanimous vote of the Council, the acceptance of
bids was closed.
On bid was received from Bud Gestri Ford Sales for the City's
-
needs for Four Door Sedans and Station Wagons for a period of two
years.
Mr. Rascob of Howdy Chevrolet-Buick objected to the bids
and stated it was difficult to present a proposal. He referred to the
maintenance, trade in and purchase agreement, there being no pro-
vislion for freight charges, etc. and also because of the General
Motors strike, he could not state a delivery date on the cars.
Mr. Rascob stated he had requested that the Council postpone bids
to November.
,-
Mr. Parness stated that a group meeting of all auto dealers
had been held in July and the proposal was explained at that time.
The dealers told him it was impossible to submit a bid at that time
and various dates were discussed. October 20th was unanimously
agreed upon by those present as the date when bids could be received;
and the bid to be awarded the first meeting in November.
On motion of Counci1manMedeiros, seconded by Councilman
McClaskey, and the unanimous vote of the Council, the bid was re-
ferred to the City Manager for review and report.

Report on Airport Survey
Mr. Leigh Fisher of Leigh Fisher & Associates presented the
Livermore Airport planning survey to the Council and explained the
procedure following in preparing this survey. The- site selected is
immediately west of the new sewage treatment plant and in the
immediate proximity of the freeway (Highllay 50). This location
would be a compatible land use; with the gravel pits, highway and
prison farm near by, there will be no residential encroachment as
is happening at the present airport.
" On motion of Councilman Patterson, seconded by Councilman

Medeiros, and the unanimous vote of the Council, the report was
referred to the airport advisory committee for study and recom-
mendation.

Report of Planning Commission - Zoning Application
Lincoln Lumber Co. & Jensen Development Corporation
A communication dated October 16, 1958 was received from
the Planning Commission regarding the application for zoning of
various parcels to several zones submitted by Lincoln Lumber Co.
and Jensen Development Corporation, the area in question being
located on the northeast corner of Hillcrest and East Avenues.
This matter was originally submitted to the City by the applicant
when a re-zoning application was being requested of the County of
Alameda and the City at that time indicated approval. The application
now contains a re-zonlng request for parcels under four categories,
R-l, R-2, C-l and C-2. The only discrepancy noted by the Planning
Commission is that the total acreage involved in the commercial
parcelS equals 6.9 acres. This is greater than permitted by our
proposed ordinance for a neighborhood shopping center and the
I
.
Commission recommends a reduction in size to a 6 acre maximum. Mr.
r- Mauretta of Lincoln Lumber Co. stated that this was agreeable to
his company.
On motion of Councilman Shirley, seconded by Councilman
McClaskey, and the unanimous vote of the Council, the recommendation
of the Planning Commission was accepted and a public hearing set for
November 17, 1958.
Report of Planning Commission - Use Permit Application
Shopping Center - Stanloyd Corp.
A communication dated October 15, 1958 was received from the
Planning Commission regarding Stanloyd Corp. application for a use
permit to construct a shopping center on the Northwest corner of
W. First and So. Q Streets. Although this application appears to be
designed as a neighborhood shopping facility, the Planning Commission
considers that its location and content make it an extension of our
Central Business District. The major factor involved in this
decision concerns the required off-street parking ratio of one-to-
one rather than the three-to-one for a neighborhood facility. The
center is bisected by Q Street, extending northerly from W. First
Street, terminating at the Southern Pacific right-or-way. With the
284
OCT 2 0 1958
advent of a large market to be,~nstalled on the property between
P and Q Streets abutting West First street, the Commission believes
that the separation of these two uses, that is the Stanloyd Center
and Purity Food Market, by a dedicated public street would' be
contradictory to proper land d(tsigri,' and have therefore"reco11Uitended
the vacation of Q street with a substitute public thoroughfare to
be located at the westerly extreme of the Stanloyd property and to
be fully improved to City standards. 'Ibis would permit the shopping
center and the Purity Food Market to become more of a single
contained unit. 'Ibis design would also accommodate the ingress
.
and egress flow of vehicular traffic visiting the site.
The Planning Commission, in conformity with the request of
.
the City Council, has granted a use permit subject to the street
location as noted above~ the recommendation on the public works
.
matters as submitted by the Planning Co~ttee (a copy of which is
on file with the City Clerk) and the Council's review and approval.
Mr. Bissell was asked about his feeling on the abandonment
of Q street and he replied that he could not recommend that Q
Street be abandoned without some basic plan of the overall develop-
ment of the area in question.
Mr. Lawrence P. Corbett, representing Stanloyd Corp.
presented a copy of the lease between his firm and Southern Pacific
.
Co. for parking area for the City Attorney's review and also
stated that there seems very little possibility of getting together
with Purity Stores for development of the area.
After furtherdisQuBsion, on motion of Councilman Patterson,
seconded by Councilman Medeiros, and the unanimous vote of the
Council, approval of the use permit was granted with ,the condition~
imposed with the exception of the re-location of Q street and
subject to the review by the City Attorney of the lease with
Southern Pacific Co. for a parking, area.

Mr. Parness recommended that the additional 10 ft. of
widening as suggested by the Planning Commission be rejected and
that the lots fronting on East Avenue be designed to the same se~
back as those installed to the west.
The Council approved the recommendation of the City Manager
and directed that a letter be sent to the County Planning Commission
informing them of this recommendation and also notifying the
~ommission that all subsequent subdivisions submitted to the east
of the subject tract be required to install frontage road design
for lots abutting East Avenue.
Request ~Q Connect to City Sewer
Jensen Development Corporation
A communication dated October 15, 1958 was read from Haley,
Schenone, Tucker and~irchfield~ representing Jensen Development
Corp. and requesting 'that the City provide sewage facilities for
nine lots fronting on East Avenue in Tract 1984 which will be used
-
for model homes.
-
I
Mr. John K. Smith and Mr. Roy N. Jensen were present at the
meeting to discuss the matter with the Council.
It was explained that_there is an ordinance providing for
connection to the city sanitary sewer, however~ it has been a
Council policy not to accept any further connections. The Council
discussed the pOSSibility of entering into a contract with a sewer
service fee which would be at a level that would induce annexation
and it was also suggested to Mr. Jensen that this area remain dormant
for a period of approximately 6 months when another annexation
could be initiated.
After further discussion, the Mayor suggested that the staff
investigate what properties are connected to the City sewer and the
possibility of their annexing to the City and also What could be
done regarding connection fees. A report-Will be made at the meet-
ing of November 3rd.

Report of City Manager
Off-Street Parking for Stanloyd Shopping Center
At the City Council meeting of October 29, 1958 a conditional
use permit was granted to Stanloyd Corp. subject to the review by
the City Attorney of the lease granted by Southern Pacific Co. to
the Stanloyd Corp. This lease would permit off-street parking for
the proposed shopping center on property owned by the railroad.
The City Attorney has reviewed the lease and has concluded that it
is not acceptable by virtue of some of its provisions, which do not
guarantee permanancy.
On motion of Councilman Medeiros, seconded by Councilman
Patterson, and the unanimous vote of the Council, the matter was
referred to the City Manager1s office for a joint investigation by
the Stanloyd interests and our City Attorney for an acceptable
lease arrangement.

City Manager Report Re Bids on
City Automobile Needs
The City Manager reported on the bids received October 20,
1958 on the City of Livermore automobile needs. A metic~lous
analysis had been conducted by his office on the bids submitted by
the local Ford agency for the purChase/maintenance agreement for
City vehicles for a two year term. A cost comparison was prepared
and presented which indicated the difference in expense to the
City for the purChase/maintenance and operation of five public
safety vehicles by means of City ownership, as the present system
operates, as opposed to the expense involved under the proposed
agreement. In a comparison of costs over "a two year term, there
would be a net saving to the City of approximately $1,000. through
proceeding under the proposed purChase/maintenance agreement. Even
though a reduction in cost is possible, it is not substantial
enough to justify Mr. Parness' recommendation that such a contract
be executed.
29'2
NOV 3, ,1958
In discussion this matter with the City Attorney, it is
entirely legal for the City Council to reject the bid as submitted
and negotiate a contract under similar provisions as lQng as' the
negotiated contract does not exceed the costs quoted in the bid
submitted. This matter has been discussed with the Ford agency
who are in concurrence with negotiating such a contract and have
informally stated their willingness to assess a lesser maintenance
figure than the one submitted. If such a contract can be pre-
pared, it of course would require the review, approval and
execution of the City Council.
After some discussion, on motion of Councilman Shirley,
seconded by Councilman Medeiros, and the unanimous vote of the
CounCil, the bid submitted for the purchase/maintenance agreement
on City vehicles was rejected and the City Manager was instructed
to negotiate a purchase/maintenance agreement with the Bud Gestri
I
Ford Co. for four police vehicles and one fire vehicle for a two
year term and submit same to the City Council for review and
approval.
Mr. Parness was also instructed to explore the possibility
of turning in the Fire Chief's car every two years instead of
every year.
City Manager Report Re Sanitary Sewer Connection
for Tract 1984 - Jensen Development Co.
The Council again discussed the request or Jensen Development
Corp. for sanitary sewer connections for Tract 1984. Ordinance #281
permits the connection of sanitary sewer facilities to properties
outside the City for an amount of $25.00 per year for Bingle family
dwelling units. There are now 10 contracts with private property
owners involving 15 homes.
Although the extension of sanitary sewage facilities by the
City to unincorporated property is considered an inadvisable policy
by the stafr, its grant should be considered under certain extra-
ordinary circumstances. The tract in question would qualify under
I
such conditions. Mr. Parness recommended that the City Attorney
be instructed to prepare an ordinance repealing Ordinance #281

and containing provisions whereby in accordance with certain
extraordinary circumstances, in the sole discretion of the City
Council, a contract may be granted for the connection of unincorpo-
rated property to the City sanitary sewage facility. The contract
would r~quire an annual payment to the City for this service in an
amount equal to the assessed valuation of the property, adjusted in
accordance with the City's valuation formula, times the total City
tax rate in effect for that year. In addition, a flat sewer service
fee would be paid by the private property owner in an amount of $25.
per year. These rates would be adjusted annually.
On motion of Councilman Patterson, seconded by Councilman
Medeiros, and the unanimous vote of the Council, the City Manager
and City Attorney were ~o prepare an amendment to the ordinance to
include the proposed sewer use charges as outlined in the City
Manager's recommendation.

Report Re East Ave.-So. Livermore Ave.
Intersection
The City Manager reported on the arterial stop located at
the southeast corner of East Avenue and So. Livermore Avenue re-
quiring traffic proceeding northerly on Livermore Ave. to stop at
the intersection with East Avenue.
. Mr. Don Bissell, Director of Public WorkS, presented a traffic
analysis sketch and explained that he and the Police Department have
investigated this matter thoroughly. Their joint conclusion is
that the present location of an arterial stop causes hazards to
traffic at this intersection which are serious.
On motion of Councilman Medeiros, seconded by Councilman
Patterson, and the unanimous vote of the Council, the City Attorney
was instructed to prepare an amendment, to the traffic ordinance
permitting the re-installation of the arterial stop sign at the
northeast corner of East Avenue and So. Livermore Avenue.

(Interim Zoning Ordinance)
City Attorney R. M. Callaghan's legal opinion regarding this
ordinance is as follows:
"On October 20, 1958, the City Council duly passed and
adopted Interim Zoning Ordinance No. 390, the effect of which was
to adopt the proposedlZoning Ordinance and all of its provisions as
'a prohibitory measure, and in so doing the adoption of this
Ordinance included the Zoning Map therein contained and in effect
prohibited all zoning changes for Which applications are now before
the Council which are in conflict with the proposed Zoning Map.
In order to make it possible to complete hearing and cause
enactment of the zoning changes now contained in the applications
pending for hearing before the Council and Planning Commission, it
was necessary that an Ordinance ~ending Ordinance No. 390 be passed
and adopted to eliminate all r~ference to the adoption of the pro-
I I
posed Zoning Ordinance and its map as an interim measure, and by
said amendment to add a provision which grants. to the Planning
CommiSSion the right to alternatively and in addition to all the
conditions for use now existing in the Interim Zoning Ordinances to
in its sound discretion allow such and any other uses which will
not conflict with the General Plan and proposed Zoning Ordinance.1I
On motion of Councilman Medeiros, seconded by Councilman
Patterson, and by the following called vote, the ordinance amending

Zoning - Nojet Shopping Center

Councilman McClaskey asked if legally the Planning Com-
mission can extend the time limit on an ordinance. At the last

granted a use permit to Nojet Company to construct a shopping center
and gasoline service station on property zoned C-l and C-2 by

Ordinance No. 367 subject to certain conditions and setting a time
limit,of six month~ for completion of 5~ of the floor area
foundation and twelve months for completion o~ 50% of the floor
area from November l~ 1958.
Section 4 of Ordinance 367 provides that any land zoned
B
C-l shall be so zoned for a period of not to exceed one year, at
which time said zoning shall become permanent only if determined
by the Planning Commission that a minimum of 25,000 square feet
of the proposed structures have been developed within said time.
If said condition is not met all land unoccupied by permanent
buildings or parking required therefore, may be rezoned to a zone
as specified by the Planning Commission.
The year had expired on the Nojet rezoning on November 1,
1958. It now must be determined what steps should be taken.
Mr. Tuck of the Nojet Company stated that based upon the
action of the Planning Commission in granting them the use permit,
they have Signed three contracts, which puts them in a very
difficult position if permits are not issued. Mr. Tuck stated he
~
believes the ordinance can be interpreted in many ways.
The Council discussed the possibility of amending the
ordinance to delete the provision relating to time limit and the
Council doing this by an urgency measure without referral to the
Planning Commission. It was decided to continue the matter to
Wednesday evening, and have the City Attorney check the ordinance
thoroughly and present his legal opinion at that time.

Discussion re Repeal of Sec. 4 of Ordinance #367
City Attorney R. M. Callaghan read his legal opinion relating
to the provisions of Section 4, Ordinance NQ. 367 as follows:
"At your request as given to me in your meeting of November
3, 1958, I have reviewed the provisions of Section 4 of Ordinance No.
367 in reference to the time limitation imposed therein on property
zoned C-l.
This section is all inclusive, and relates to and effects
all property in the City subject to a C-l zone classif~cation,
including real property partipularly described in said Ordinance
No. 367, and the permanency of such zoning is made dependent upon
a finding by the Planning Commission that a minimum of 25000 square
feet of the proposed structure~ have been developed within said
time, which provision is incapable of application to all property
in Livermore bearing a C-1 zone classification, and therefore
an impracticable provision that should be repealed.
This section is further defective in that it is subject to
the interpretation that it is attempted by this section to delegate
to the Planning Commission the power to rezone real property, which
was never the legislative intent thereof by use of the phrase therein,
"may be rezoned to a zone as specified by the Planning Commission".
Further review of this section and the actions of the
Planning Commission thereunder reveal that the Planning Commission
has not, as of this date, made any finding as to the nature or
extent of the development on the property described in the _ '
Ordinance, so it is therefore my opinion that the zone" classification
affixed thereto by Ordinance No. 367 is still effective as of this
date and that the passage and adoption of an Ordinance repealing
this section will not effect or change such zone classification,
but will only eliminate therefrom the time limitation now imposed
thereon.
You are advised that it will not be necessary to follow the
procedures required by law for the rezoning of property, namely,
proper notice and public pearing,1 for the reason that the repeal
of this section does not constitute any change of zone classification,
therefore, it is my opinion that the City Council should pass and
adopt an Ordinance which will repeal all of the provisions of
Section 4 of Ordinance. No. 367."
If an emergency ordinance is passed, repealing Section 4 of Ordinance
#367, the applicant affected by this section, namely Nojet Co., Inc.
will be in the position of having a conditional use permit to erect
a shopping center, with certain restrictions as to time thereon,
and the zoning on the property outlined in the application for a
302 NOV [. 1958:
use permit will have the proper zoning.
The matter was discussed by the Council, Mr. Tuck of Nojet
Co., Inc. was present and outlined the problems faced in obtaining
tenants for a shopping center, and. Mr'. Tuck also answered questions
relating to the progress of the shopping center negotiations and
on p~ans for development~

Report of City Attorney
Stanloyd Corporation Lease
City Attorney R. M. Callaghan read his recommendation to the
Planning Commission regarding the Stanloyd Corporation lease with
the Southern Pacific Co. for a parking facility, a copy of which
is on file in the City Clerk's office.
A conference was held on November 11th with the proposed
lessors, and as a result the proposed lease was modified~ although
it does not absolutely insure the permanency of the parking facilities,
it does constitute a reasonable lease and the best that can be
expected on leased property on which it is proposed to establish
a parking facility. Therefore, Mr. Callaghan recommended that the
lease, as now drafted, be accepted by the Planning Commission as
one which will fulfill as near as possible the conditions therefore
as set forth in the use permit issued to the Stanloyd Corporation.
The Council than discussed what would happen if at some
later time this parking is not available, and it was decided to
place a further condition on the use permit - that in the event the
lease is cancelled, other parking must be made available within
400' as provided in the ordinance or enter a parking district.

Request for Junk Yard East of the City
Mrs. Nowling was present at the meeting regarding the pro-
.
posed alternate location for her~nk yard on East 1st Street,
adjacent on the east
/to the Union Oil Co. The proposed zoning ordinance provides this
open type use would have to be 200 ft. from any R district. Since
all the property north of East First Street in that area is pro-
posed residential, it would block any further industrial development
on the south side of the street. Mrs. Nowling asked the Council,
when studying the proposed zoning, to consider making a buffer
~
zone on the north side of East First Street so that some use on
the south side may be established in industrial or light industrial
use.
Mrs. Nowling was informed that the Council has been working
on the zoning ordinance every week and it will be some months before
it is completed. Since this alternate location being considered Qr
- .
Mrs. Nowling is outside the City limits, she would have to make
application to the County Planning Commission, who have been
requested to conduct studies in conjunction with the City and
industrial interests to determine where this open land type operation
should be located, and until the Council receives word from the
County Planning Commission there is nothing they can do.

provide drainage facilities from that point on.
A letter was also read from City Attorney Callaghan regarding
this matter. Permission would have to be obtained from the C.A.A.
before the Council could act upon this request.
If action must be taken immediately on this matter, the
Council would approve the tentative map subject to the recommendation
as outlined by the Director of Public Works which would place this
ponding area just north of the proposed tract.
Mr. Stifle requested the matter be postponed to the 5th of
January so the Council may investigate the matter and consider his
request further at that time. The Council was agreeable to this.

Discussion on Sewer Negotiation with A.E.C.
Councilman Patterson asked about the progress on the
negotiation of our present contraQt with the A.E.C.
I
City Attorney Callaghan stated that the Attorney General
insists on a legal precedent for this renegotiation but there does
not seem to be any legal precedent or law that would support a
modification of the contract. The next step should be to draw up
an argument on the basis of unreasonableness to present to the
A.E.C. for their review. The City Attorney will have this argument
I
ready for the review of the Council at the meeting of January 5th.
Proposed Annexation of Sewer Plant Property
The City Attorney reported that the City can annex 100 acres

accomplished by a resolution to the County Board of Supervisors
requesting annexation.
