CORRESPONDENCE FROM MT. VIEW SANITARY DISTRICT RE CONSOLIDATION OF TREATMENT
BY CONTRACT
President Gibbs stated that each Board Member had received a memorandum
dated January 29, 1968, relative to service to Mt. View Sanitary District by
contract.
Board Members did not look with favor on service to Mt. View Sanitary
District by contract after recently refusing service by contract to the City
of Martinez. Consensus of the Board was that annexation was preferable but
the door should not be closed at this time for further discussion of service
by contract.
Mr. Horstkotte stated that any contract for service would be more costly
to Mt. View and, therefore, lead to annexation.
Board Members pointed out that service by contract would prevent control
of annexations by the District and a loss of taxation.
Board Members felt that, prior to further discussion of service by contract,
Mt. View Sanitary District should express itself officially relative to annex-
ing to the District.
Mr. Horstkotte suggested that a letter be prepared for President Gibbs'
signature to Mt. View Sanitary District for Board approval at the February 15,
1968, meeting.
Copies to be sent Board Members prior to the meeting.
Continued to February 15, 1968.
