SEWER USE CHARGE
,.. ~-....,

I
Member Stanley suggested setting aside end Member Salfingere
subsequently suggested tabling the proposed Sewer Use Charge Ordinance.
President Roemer expressed his opposition to tabling the proposed
Ordinance in the absence of Member Spiegl, and made the following
comments:' he is opposed to a sewer use charge since it is unfair to
the Clayton area which has a population of approximately 10,000, and
he feels those people, if annexed, should have a voice in the method
of raising the necessary money. He further indicated that Member
Spiegl's proposal was to insure funds for the correction of the
problem northwest of Charles Hill Road, and expressed his opinion
that $100,000.00 could be spent at present and $125,000.00 plus
would be available next year as evidence of good faith.
Mr. Horstkotte, District Manager, stated that, with the funds
available, work could start in Orinda.
When questioned by Member MacPhail as to whether starting at
the Treatment Plant and working upstream would be the logical pro-
cedure, Mr. Horstkotte answered in the affirmative.
President Roemer questioned Mr. McMorrow of the County Health
Department, and Mr. McMorrow stated that his Department wanted the
Orinda work accomplished first.
It was moved by Member Stanley, seconded by Member Salfingere,
that the proposed Sewer Use Charge Ordinance be tabled. Failed to

the absence of Member Spiegl. .
Mr. Dowell requested an official letter, understandable to a
layman, relative to the services to be provided to the Clay ton-
Ygnacio Valley area if annexed to the District. This matter was
referred to Mr. Horstkotte, District Manager.
