MARTINEZ ANNEXATION AGREEMENT
President Gibbs stated the Board Members had received a copy of the
letter dated August 29, 1967, from Mr. John Sparacino, Chairman of the
Martinez Sewer Study Committee, along with a copy of the Minutes of that
Committee dated August 29, 1967.
The Minutes of the Sewer Study Committee recommended three modifica-
tions in the Agreement which were as follows:
1. That the 4 acres of land referred to in the Agreement (present
Treatment Plant site) be leased to Central Contra Costa Sanitary District
for $1.00 per year until such time as the Sanitary District determines the
actual amount of land necessary for the pumping station. At such time,
the actual amount of land needed for the pumping station will be deeded to
the Sanitary District and the balance would revert to the City.
2. The Agreement provide that City employees who presently are
operating the Sewage Treatment Plant or maintaining the sewer system
would have a choice of remaining with the City or transferring to the
Sanitary District.

3. That the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District set a maximum cost
that the City would pay for connecting the City system to the treatment
facilities of the Sanitary District.
President Gibbs asked Mr. Horstkotte, General Manager-Cheif Engineer,
to comment on the modifications.
1. Mr. Horstkotte stated that the District was only interested in
land necessary for the pump station and rather than change the Agreement,
the District could give to the City a letter agreeing to return to them that
portion not needed for the pump station.
2. He stated any City employees would have to meet District qualifica-
tions for the particular job if they were to transfer to the District.
3. Mr. Horstkotte stated that the estimate of $l,800,OOO was based on
normal District procedures for local improvement districts and other con-
struction work and could see no reason to establish a top figure for the City.
After considerable discussion with City of Martinez representatives--
Mr. Travers, Mayor, Mr. Sparacino, Mr. Hoey, City Attorney, Mr. Satre,
Acting City Manager and Mr. De La Fontaine--the Board Members voted on the
proposed modifications as follows:
