BY CANCELLING THE TIME AND PLACE OF THE HEARING OF PROTESTS IN
RELATION TO PROPOSED ACQUISITIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS, AND DIRECTING
NOTICE, LOCAL IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT NO. 50
Mr. Dalton, Acting General Manager-Chief Engineer, introduced Vice Mayor
John Sparacino of the City of Martinez, Mr. Calvin E. Monson, City Manager of
the City of Martinez, Mr. John E. Waltz, City Attorney for the City of Martinez,
and Mr. Samuel Satre, Director of Public Works for the City of Martinez.
Mr. Monson addressed the Board and explained the background and rationale
for the existing zoning in the City of Martinez. He noted that the City had
recognized that the existing zoning required some revision and that action had
been taken by the City to effect such revision, including employment of a con-
sultant firm. Mr. Monson stated that the City, in cooperation with the District,
was prepared to initiate an accelerated schedule to effect rezoning. The City
therefore requested the Board to cancel its public hearing scheduled for Octo-
ber 19, 1972, and defer definitive action on the matter for a period of ninety
days in order to permit rezoning action by the City.
Board Members, staff, Counsel for the District and representatives of the
City of Martinez discussed the matter at length. Of concern was whether it was
feasible for the City to complete action on zoning within the ninety day period
and the additional costs that would accrue to the District in the event 'the
hearing on October 19 was cancelled.
After recognition that, in the event action by the City is not completed at
the end of the ninety day period, the District may proceed with its assessment
proceedings based on existent zoning, and realizing that the District will incur
additional expense for the delay in assessment proceedings, such expense to be

California had signed this date the contract with the District for a Grant for
Clean Water for a $42,800,000 treatment plant modification. He provided Board
Members with a copy of the contract and explained certain provisions imposed upon
the District.
Board Members, staff, Dr. David Caldwell and his associate, Mr. David Eisenhauer
of Brown and Caldwell, District Engineering consultant firm, discussed these pro-
visions with emphasis on meeting air pollution control requirements. Dr. Caldwell
and Mr. Eisenhauer explained that the plant design did meet technical requirements
for emission of pollutants but that difficulty was being experienced in obtaining
formal approval and permit from Air Pollution Control Agencies.
After discussion, it was moved by Member Mitchell, seconded by Member Boneysteele,
that staff prepare an appropriate response for the President's signature requesting
