Mr. Sparacino, Vice Mayor of the City of Martinez and Vice President of the Martinez Sewer District #1, introduced the following people from Martinez: G. I. Travers, Mayor Paul Hughey, City Manager Mr. Sparacino read the recommendation in the report that they make an effort to work out a contractural arrangement with Central Contra Costa Sanitary District.

President Gibbs questioned Mr. Sparacino relative to source material used. Mr. Sparacino stated that, prior to the preparation of the report, the consultants had a meeting which Mr. Dalton of Central Contra Costa Sanitary District attended to discuss source material. Mr. Sparacino stated the time was short to try and work out an agreement to save Federal assistance. It was the consensus of the District Board that annexation would be the more equitable solution for the City and the District, and an agreement to provide sewer service by contract should be considered as an interim solution and be more costly to the City so as to encourage annexation.
