Member Rustigian questioned Mr. Horstkotte relative to the established
salaries for several classifications, which Mr. Horstkotte explained.
Member Gibbs questioned whether the 5% recommended was a justifiable
figure.

at this time and suggested salary increases be considered in June, 1966.

5% recommended.

across the board and requested an Executive Session to discuss certain situa-
tions.

MARTINEZ SEWERING STUDY
President Mitchell asked Mr. Horstkotte, District Manager-Engineer, to
review the Martinez sewering study to date.
Mr. Horstkotte stated that annexing the City of Martinez to the District
and taking over their sewage disposal works would be of benefit to the
District. The $26,000,000.00 added assessed valuation would lower the tax
rate for bond service, and, after two years, would also reflect a reduction
in unit operation costs.
Annexation terms being considered provide that the District advance a
maximum of $1,000,000.00 on a watershed trunk basis. The watershed charge
would provide for the eventual recovery of the $1,000,000.00.
Mr. Horstkotte stated that the quality of sewage from Martinez was the
same as that of the District.
The staff felt the per mile cost of maintaining the City of Martinez
sewers should not be any greater than the District.
The Mt. View Sanitary District would also be in a position to annex and
connect if they should elect to do so.
Mr. Horstkotte stated he is to meet with a Martinez committee and would
like to submit some tangible evidence that the District is interested.
The Martinez connection would be an independent trunk system and would
not add capacity to existing lines.
The annexation of Martinez would not change the schedule for Treatment
Plant expansions.
Mr. Horstkotte stated that the City's ultimate service area was
approximately 12,500 acres. 37% of the future City is adverse to Martinez
plant and tributary to Sanitary District's.
Mr. Horstkotte pointed out that the Amador Valley, which was proposed
for service in the Brown and Caldwell Report of 1956, will not be served by
the District and was adverse in grade.

President Mitchell and Member Gibbs stated they would like to see
figures presented that would show the capital cash flow and tax rate with
and without Martinez.
After discussion, Mr. Horstkotte asked the Board Members if they were
interested in continuing to work out an agreement with the City of Martinez.
The Board Members stated that they were interested in continued dis-
cussion in an effort to work out an agreement.
