CORRESPONDENCE DATED MAY 2, 1975, FROM MR. V. ALBERTZ, CEDAR LANE,
WALNUT CREEK
Board Members and staff reviewed and discussed correspondence dated
May 2, 1975, received from Mr. V. Albertz, Cedar Lane, Walnut Creek,
related to economic feasibility of providing sewer service to his property.
Mr. Albertz indicated the cost to provide sewer service for his property
would approximate 12% of the cost of his lot, construction of his house
and installation of a side sewer, or approximately $5,632.00. As an
alternative, he suggested District installation of a necessary mainline
extension to service his property and that he would be willing to pay
to the District the established rebate charge of $2,500.00 in addition
to appropriate annexation and fixture charges, and would install the side
sewer, approximate total cost to be $3,730.00.
Discussion followed between staff and Board Members concerning responsibilities
of staff and the County Health Department as related to the economic feasibility
of the installation of sewer service and the issuance of septic tank permits.
After discussion wherein Board Members expressed concern at staff
recommendation to install the sewer mainline extension outside of the
District to accommodate Mr. Albertz' property at District expense and to
recover the costs through rebate provisions of the District Code, it was
moved by Member Mitchell, seconded by Member Gibbs, that authorization be
given for the District to construct mainline extension to service Mr. Albertz'
property and adjacent properties at District expense subject to rebate
provisions under the District Code. Prior to the vote, President Boneysteele
disclosed that he had been contacted by a business associate who is a friend
of Mr. Albertz with respect to the issue before the Board. Under such
circumstances he preferred to abstain from voting. Upon the vote being
tied, however, President Boneysteele felt that he should cast his vote in
favor of the motion, since the merits of the issue required such vote.
Carried by the following vote:
AYES:
NOES:
ABSENT:

After further discussion by Board Members, it was the consensus of

relate to determinative action of the County Health Department be submitted
for Board review and approval.
