ISSUE: A public hearing is scheduled to be conducted at the July 17, 1986 Board
Meeting to consider an application by Pleasant Hill Bay Shore Disposal Service for
increases in commercial refuse collection rates, and the establishment of all refuse
collection service rates, in its franchised area of operation.
BACKGROUND: A publ ic hearing was held on June 19, 1986 to consider Pleasant Hill
Bay Shore Disposal Service's application for increases in residential and commercial
can service rates in the original Zone 3, for which no increases had been appl ied
for in fifteen years. Following the publ ic hearing, and after considering publ ic
comment, the staff report, and the refuse coll ector's presentati on, the Board of
Directors identified the following issues regarding the rate application which
required further consideration at the July 17, 1986 Board Meeting:
Mobile Home Park Rate - Based on information presented at the public hearing by
a mobile home park manager that the more efficient collection environment and
lower service level in the mobile home parks justify a lower rate, the Board
requested staff to propose a differential rate schedule for mobile home parks.
Graduated Rate Increase - In view of the significant increase in residential and
commercial can rates under consideration, the Board requested that staff pursue
a method by which these rates may be graduated over a number of years, beginning
with a rate below the staff computed rate of $8.35 per month for residential
service.
Commercial Bin and Drop Box Rates - Although commercial bin and drop box rates
have been regularly increased by the refuse collector during the last fifteen
years, it was proposed on behalf of the refuse collector that the Board consider
increases in these rates in the event that other service rates were established
below the level necessary to produce a reasonable gross profit. As a
consequence of the resulting expansion of service rates under consideration for
possible adjustment to include bin and drop box rates, a publ ic hearing was
subsequently announced by public notices for the July 17, 1986 Board Meeting.
The resul ts of the staff efforts in addressi ng the issues descri bed above are
presented in the following attachments:

Attachment I - Composition of 1985 Revenues By Type of Service
This attachment presents the number of customers and revenues produced in 1985
within the original Zone 3 and the four subsequently annexed new areas by type
of service. As shown, there are three mobile home parks consisting of 705 units
and 537 residential accounts in the original Zone 3. All of the units in the
mobile home parks are charged the monthly residential rate of $2.65; however,
one of the mobile home park's 159 tenants are billed individually by the refuse
collector, and the other two mobile home parks each receive a single composite
bill for all units which is sent to the mobile home park management. Because of
an internal classification of customers based on the mode of billing, the refuse
collector had previously reported revenues from one of the mobile home parks as
residential, and revenues from the other two parks as commercial bin revenues.
The consequence of th i s i nconsi stency was the understati ng of the resi denti a 1
revenue base used in the June 19, 1986 staff report, with the result that the
then computed residential and commercial can rates of $8.35 and $9.55,
respectively, were higher than required.
The total 1985 revenues of $232,033 reported on Attachment I are reported on
Attachment II as the basis for determining the increase in the forecased revenue
required, based on a 95% operating ratio.
Attachment II - Rate Adjustment Analysis
Th i s attachment shows the ca 1 cul ati on of the $70,908 increase in forecasted
revenue required based on a 95% operating ratio, which is unchanged from the
June 19, 1986 staff report. The $70,908 increase in revenue is achieved using
four mobile home park rate assumptions, and the resultant effects on the
original zone 3 residential and commercial can revenue increases are presented.
The four mobile home park rate assumptions used would increase the $2.65 rate to
$5.50, $5.75, $6.00 or $6.25. At the $5.50 mobile home rate, the residential
rate would increase from $2.65 to $7.30, and the commercial can rate would
increase from $3.00 to $8.25. Commercial bin and drop box rates in original
Zone 3 would remain unchanged.
A lower rate for mobile home parks compared to the residential rate is supported
by physical conditions within the parks which result in collection efficiencies,
and a lower service level. The mobile homes are densely situated in the parks,
and streets are narrow with enforcement of no-parking restrictions. Two of the
mobile homes parks receive curb service, no trimmings service and no seasonal
cleanup service; one park receives backyard service, one bag of trimmings
service and one seasonal cleanup service. A uniform service level consisting of
a single 32-gallon container at the curb, no trimmings service, a one time
seasonal cleanup service and a single, composite billing system would be
acceptable to all three mobile home parks. Although no mobile home parks exist
in the areas served by the other two refuse collectors franchised by the

District, a separate rate schedule lower than residential rates is used by these
coll ectors for apartment units usi ng garbage cans. The apartment can service
rate as a percent of the residential rate is 75.7% for Valley Disposal Service
customers, 70.1% for Orinda customers and 78.5% for Moraga customers. The $5.50
mobile home rate would be 75.3% of the $7.30 residential rate for Pleasant Hill
Bay Shore Disposal Service.
Attachment III - Schedule of Current and Requested Monthly Rates
This attachment shows the current rate schedule for original Zone 3 and the four
new areas, the new rates appl i ed for by the refuse coll ector, and the staff
computed rates. The staff computed rates shown for resi denti al service and
commercial can service are based on the mobile home alternative rate of $5.50.
All other rates shown are unchanged from those presented in the June 19, 1986
staff report.
Attachment IV - Graph of Percent Decrease in Residential and Mobile Home Rates
Caused By Percent Increase in Commercial Bin and Drop Box Rates Based on Mobile
Home Rate of $5.50
As commercial bin and drop box rates have been increased by the refuse collector
over the years, these rates are generally comparable to rates charged by other
refuse collectors. A precept followed in the June 19, 1986 staff report was the
generation of the $70,908 revenue required by increases in the residential and
commercial can service rates established in 1971. However, as increases in
commercial bin and drop box rates have been proposed for consideration by the
Board, this attachment presents the percent decrease in residential and mobile
home park rates for the $5.50 mobile home park rate al ternative which resul ts
for each percent increase in commercial bin and drop box rates ranging from 1%
through 10%.
Attachment V - Effect of Alternative % Increases in Commercial Bin and Drop Box
Rates on Residential and Commercial Can Rates Assuming a Mobile Home Rate of
$5 .50
This attachment shows information supporting the percent decrease in residential
and commercial can service rates resulting from commercial bin and drop box rate
increases of 1% through 10%, which is presented in the graph on Attachment IV.
On the basis of the results of the review of the issues determined at the June 19,
1986 Board Meeting which have been reported in this Position Paper and Attachments I
through V, the following staff observations are presented for consideration by the
Board:
o Because of the distinctively different service environment in mobile home
parks which makes for more efficient refuse collection, and a requested

uniform service level lower than that provided for residential service, a
separate and lower rate schedule should be established for mobile home
parks. If the lower uniform service level is to be established for mobile
home parks, the Board should direct staff to amend the franchise agreement
accordingly.
o The refuse collector had previously reported only one of the three mobile
home parks as being in the residential service category. As a result, the
residential and commercial can service revenue base on which the June 19,
1986 staff computed rates were based was understated, and produced a new
residential rate of $8.35 and a commercial can rate of $9.55. The
appropriate classification of all mobile home parks in a separate service
category shown on Attachment II produces a resi denti al rate of $7.30 and
commercial can rate of $8.25, based on a mobile home park rate of $5.50.
Three higher mobile home park rate alternatives shown on Attachment II
would produce correspondingly lower residential and commercial can rates.
o Interest in a graduated rate increase over a number of years for
residential and commercial can service rates, based on the June 19, 1986
staff computed rates, and consideration of a possible lower mobile home
park rate, was expressed. However, in light of the results of the present
review in which lower mobile home park rate alternatives can produce
residential and commercial can service rates markedly lower than the June
19, 1986 rates, it is suggested that the basis for a graduated rate
increase has been removed. By its nature, a graduated rate increase will
require a higher than normal rate increase in the subsequent years. If a
graduated rate increase is still considered to be appropriate, staff
requests Board direction regarding the operating ratio higher than 95%
which should be employed.
RECOMMENDATION: Conduct a public hearing on July 17, 1986 to receive public comment
on the application by Pleasant Hill Bay Shore Disposal Service for refuse collection
rate increases, and establish such rates and their implementation date, as are
considered appropriate.

Re: Pleasant Hill Bayshore Disposal Increase
Dear Board of Directors:
I recently received notice from the Pleasant Hill Bay
Shore Disposal Company that they are requesting an in-
crease of $10.00 per can per month from their present
rate of $3.00 per can per month.
According to their letter they have not increased rates
for more than 15 years. This may be true, but to make
such an increase, in my opinion, is just a bit exorbi-
tant. I base this on aD~ sanitary district that I
am aware of, namely, Richmond Sanitary, whose rate for
one can for three months is $21.00. This is for once a
week service and additional cans is not double or triple
that base. But if we take the above example on onte can
for three months it is less expensive than the increase
requested by the Pleasant Hill Bay Shore Disposal.
I acknowledge that a modest increase may be in order, but
Iwould ask the Board of Directors to consider the amount
of increase before granting their request.
Additionally may I also,at this point, suggest that if
an increase is to be granted that the service and/or
timing of pickup be increased or better organized in the
future service. We are in a building where the cans can-
not be lefted outside and we try and have them outside for
the drivers every week but their is no consistency in the
time of pickup. We know the pickup is early in the morning
and although we don't open til 9 a.m. we try to get here
earlier on pickup day so that the trash can be collected
but then there are days they don't come tell late. A
more consistant schedule would be helpful for our business.
Thank you for your attention to our concerns.

Pleasant Hill Bay Shore Disposal
Our File No. 70896.112
Dear Mr. Morsen:
At its recent hearing concerning the request of
Pleasant Hill Bay Shore Disposal (PHBS) for an increase in
collection rates, the Board indicated that it might consider
approving an increase which is lower than that which we
requested and lower than the staff computed rate necessary to
produce a 95% operating ratio.
At that hearing and in subsequent conversations with
CCCSD staff, we have expressed our concern that such action
would substantially reduce our client's revenues and have
stated our belief that any reduction of the proposed
residential rates should be offset by an equivalent increase in
other rates so that the revenues which our client is expected
to receive are sufficient to reimburse it for its expenses plus
a reasonable return.
A potential method of offsetting a reduction in the
proposed residential rates is to increase commercial bin rates.
Our application proposed that such rates not be increased and,
therefore, the advertisement placed in the local press by CCCSD
did not give notice of any such increase.
Mr. Paul Morsen
July 3, 1986
page 2
We request that CCCSD schedule and notice a hearing to
be held at the Board Meeting of July 17,1986, to consider
increases in rates for commercial bin and debris box service
which would increase revenues from those services by a maximum
of 10%. Scheduling such a hearing would provide the Board with
maximum flexibility in setting rates which would address the
needs of the public and the collector.
Thank you for your cooperation. If you have
questions, please call.
very truly yours,

BACKGROUND: Coll ecti on System Operati ons Department crews respond to sewer
overflows from time to time. Occasionally the overflow occurs in a building.
When this happens, it is imperative that the cleanup activity proceed as quickly
as possi bl e to mi nimize the damage to private property as well as the
i nconveni ence to the resi dent. The purchase of a conti nuously operati ng high
vol ume water vacuum with pumped water disposal woul d significantly reduce the
cl eanup time over the current use of five gallon vacuum cl eaners that must be
dumped manually when full.

ISSUE: Board authorization is required for the General Manager-Chief Engineer to
execute an agreement with Mr. Louis Saulacich and Mr. William Ham, the homeowners
on whose properties the subject landslide occurred.
BACKGROUND: In the winter of 1982 a landslide displaced and damaged approximately
100 linear feet of 6-inch vitrified clay sewer pipe between the residences at 114
Hillcrest Drive and 139 Meadow View Road in Orincla (see Figures 1 and 2). As an
emergency acti on, the sewer 1 ine was repl aced with temporary above-ground PVC
sewer pipe which crosses the slide uphill from the District's sewer easement. To
prevent the slide from enlarging, plastic sheeting was placed over the slide area
and has been maintained for the past three rainy seasons.
A predesign study was undertaken to determine the cause of the slide and establish
the available alternatives for restoring permanent sewer service to the properties
affected by the sl ide. It was concl uded that the sl ide was caused by soils which
lost strength due to saturation by surface and subsurface water. The predesign
study identified two alternatives for restoring permanent sewer service. The
alternatives involve either repairing the slide and reconstructing the sewer or
rel ocati ng the sewer away from the sl ide. The sl ide repai r was estimated to be
approximatel y $15,000 more costl y than the sewer rel ocati on. Di stri ct staff
entered into negotiations with the owners of the land where the sl ide occurred
after having been informed of their desire to have the slide repaired. An
agreement was negotiated which provides for each homeowner to contribute a fixed
amount of $7,500 toward the proj ect. The agreement is reasonabl e from the
District's point of view.
Design work will be performed by a project team consisting of District staff and
personnel from Woodward-Clyde Consultants (WCC). The work by WCC will be
performed under a purchase order agreement. Di stri ct staff will be responsi bl e
for proj ect management, the desi gn of sewer repl acement work, and pl ans and
specification preparation. WCC will be responsible for the slide repair design.
A breakdown of the estimated costs associated with the authorization is presented
in Attachment 1 to this position paper. The total authorization being requested
is $5,000. Funds for construction of the landslide repair will be requested at
the time of award of the construction contract. The total project cost is
estimated to be $120,000.

ADOPT A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING PARTICIPATION IN THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA LOCAL AGENCY INVESTMENT FUND
SU~.MIJTED BY
walter N. Funasaki, Finance Officer
INITIATING DEPT./DIV.
Administrative/Finance & Accounting
ISSUE: An authorizing resolution of the Board of Directors is required for
participation by the District in the Local Agency Investment Fund <LAIF>.
6.ACKGROUND: The LAIF was created by law and is administered by the State Treasurer
and an advisory board. The law permits local governments to deposit funds, which
are not immediately required, with the State Treasurer for the purpose of
investment. Before any deposits will be accepted, the local government will be
required to file a resolution with the State Treasurer which authorizes
participation in the LAIF and designates individuals who are authorized to order the
deposit or withdrawal of funds in the LAIF.
A descri pti on of the LAIF, which was submitted at the 1 ast Board Meeti ng, is
provided as Attachment I.
The maximum amount which may be invested in the LAIF by a single entity is
$5 mill ion. While the District has invested temporary funds in the LAIF for very
short-term periods, it has done so through the County's LAIF account and subject to
the $5 million County-wide maximum. The establishment of a District LAIF account
will provide a separate $5 million maximum for District investments.
The current yield for the LAIF is in the 8% range, while the District's investment
in short-term paper is presently yielding approximately 7%. The current
differential in yields could produce an increase in annual investment income of
$50,000 on a $5 million investment base.
The District's investment policy would require minor modification as shown on
Attachment II to provide for participation in the LAIF. Proposed modifications are
underscored. Named Contra Costa County Treasurer's Office offici al s woul d be
authorized to execute the District's instructions for investments in the LAIF, just
as they presently are for the District's investments generally.
A copy of the resolution authorizing participation in the LAIF is shown as
Attachment I II.
RECOMMENDATIPN: Adopt a resolution authorizing participation by the District in the
Local Agency Investment Fund operated by the State Treasurer, and approve
modifications to the District's investment policy reflecting such participation.

Nature and Objective of Fund
The Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) is a speci al fund in the
California State Treasury created by law. Local governments may
invest funds, which are not immediately required, in the LAIF. The
maximum amount which may be invested by a single entity in the LAIF
is $5 million.
The objective of the LAIF is to realize the maximum return
consistent with safe and prudent treasury management.
Fund Administration
The State Treasurer will invest the LAIF funds with State funds
through a Pooled Money Investment Account. The State Treasurer is
responsi bl e for the control and safekeepi ng of all investments of
the LAIF.
A five member Local Investment Advisory Board assists the State
Treasurer in formulating the policies which govern the operation of
the LAIF.
Fund Operation
The following summarizes the operation of the LAIF:
1. A resolution by the local government's governing body
authorizing participation will be required.
2. Deposits or withdrawals must be in multiples of $1,000 and the
minimum transaction amount is $5,000.
3. Deposits are made at a local bank and w ire transferred to the
State Treasurer's depository bank.
4. Withdrawals will be transferred to the local government's local
bank the same day.
5. The State Treasurer will provide a monthly statement to
verify receipt of deposits.
6. After the end of each calendar quarter, interest income derived
from investments will be distributed by the State Controller to
the participating entities directly proportionate to the
respective amounts and duration of funds invested in the LAIF.
The State Controller's payment for these earnings will be
mailed directly to the local government. Prior to the
di stri buti on an amount equal to the reasonabl e cost of maki ng
the investments, not to exceed one-quarter of 1 percent of the
earnings of the Fund, shall be deducted.
Advantages of the LAIF:
Higher Interest Rates: The pool ing of surpl us cash bal ances of the
State with the LAIF creates a multi-billion dollar pool which
enables investing in diversified instruments at high
denom i nat ion.
Liquidity: Deposits in the LAIF can be converted to cash in twenty-
four hours or less. No interest is lost if a withdrawal is
made sooner than originally contemplated. There is no minimum
investment period.
Lower Cost: Large denomination purchases avoid charges generally
assessed on small lot purchases.
Investment Expertise: The State Treasurer's Office is in constant
contact with investment markets and handl es investment
transactions in the hundreds of millions of dollars.

ISSUE: Bates Avenue is bei ng improved and widened as part of County Assessment
District No. 1984-2. A portion of the subject parcel must be deeded to the county
before the road w ideni ng constructi on can commence.
BACKGROUND: The county has offered to pay this District $5,863.00 for fee title
to the subj ect 825 sq uare foot parcel (11 'x75') and for a temporary constructi on
easement of 1,500 square feet (20'x75,) adjoining the fee parcel (see attached
map). District staff has reviewed their offer and has determined that it is
adequate and just compensation. District staff has determined that the subject
parcel is not needed for District purposes and the sale does not in any way hinder
or reduce the util ity of the property.
The county's offer to purchase the subject parcel is contingent upon the sale of
improvement bonds for the assessment di stri ct. All necessary fee and ri ght of way
parcel s must be un der contract pri or to the sal e of the improvement bonds. The
county has requested that this District execute a Grant Deed, a temporary
Constructi on Permit, and a Ri ght of Way Contract. If the improvement bonds are
not sol d, the Right of Way Contract requi res the county to return the Grant Deed
to the Di stri ct.
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt resolution declaring 825 square feet of the Bates Avenue
Pumping Station surplus and authorize its sale to Contra Costa County and
authorize the Deputy General Manager to execute the Grant Deed, a temporary
Construction Permit and a Right of Way Contract with Contra Costa County.

SUBDIVISION &223 - TERRY MACKEN
I first got involved in this easement acquisition when I received the
attached letter dated May 14, 1985, from Mr. W.G. Benko. Per his request,
a meeting with the property team, himself and Mr. Terry Macken was set up
for June 13, 1985.
Attendees at the 6-13-85 meeting were Bill Benko, Terry Macken, Bill Gregory,
Jack Campbell, and myself. A brief summary of the meeting is as follows:
o Mr. Macken explained that he is building a subdivision adjacent to
Parkmead School near Walnut Creek, and that he purchased an easement
for the sewer line from the School District through their property.
However, the remaining 140~ feet is held by the State for delinquent
taxes. See attached map which shows the problem strip in "red".
o Mr. Macken requested that the District should purchase the strip from
the State and then sell him the property and grant him an easement. He
would pay all costs of the transaction.
o We questioned him on why he didn't go directly to the State himself and
start the purchase process. He stated that it would take too long.
Then he said that he was also afraid that the local home owners, who do
not want the subdivision built, would bid against him at any public
auction driving the strip price way up.
o We discussed the fact that the public does indeed have the right of
due process and if we purchased the property, then granted him an
easement, wouldn't this cause the local land owners their right of
due process. Mr. Macken stated that his subdivision was important and
he needed this strip to proceed.
"
.-
o We told Mr. Macken that the property team could not recommend this
purchase; however, we did feel he had a legitimate concern and that
he should talk to the School District first, asking them to purchase
the strip since it is used as access to their property as they
currently have an easement on it. Then, if this failed, write the
property team a letter stating all of the facts. We assured him that
the staff would review and calendar it at an appropriate Board meeting,
where he could speak to the request.

Dear Mr. Macken:
SUBDIVISION 6223 - OFFSITE SEWER EASEMENTS
On April 29, 1986 the District's Property Committee discussed the status
of the offsite public sewer easement for Subdivision 6223. After a
thorough di scussi on, the consensus of the committee remai ns the same as
was stated during the committee's meeting with you and Mr. Bill Benko on
June 13, 1985 (copy of meeting summary attached).
It is the responsi bl1 ity of the developer to acqui re all easements and
rights of way necessary to benefit his property. We recognize that the
ownership of the land the sewer must cross presents a problem regarding
the acquiring of easement rights. Nevertheless, we cannot recommend that
our District Board of Directors consider your request for assistance
until after we receive evidence that you have been unable to acquire the
easement through other methods. Those methods seem to fall into two
opti ons: 1) purchasi ng the property or the requi red sewer easement
directly or; 2) the school district purchasing the property and granting
the sewer easement to this District. This latter solution appears
logical since the subject parcel of land is part of the school's access
and if purchased would become part of their larger parcel, thus affording
them more control of thei r si tee If you have contacted the school
district and if they have refused to purchase the property to aid you,
please provide written documentation of your attempts.
Upon recei pt of a request for Board consi derati on and any informati on
regarding your efforts to acquire easement rights, this matter will be
schedu1 ed for a future Board of Di rectors' meeti n9 so that you w ill be
able to present your request to the Board in person.

(~ of exit road from Parkmead School)
July 17, 1986 meeting - CCCSD Board
of Directors
Dear Mrs. McMillan:
Thank you for your time on the telephone, last week.
Per your suggestion, and that of Paul Morsen, thi~ is a formal request that I
be allowed to appear before your Board of Directors at their next meeting, July 17,
1986, for the purpose of requesting they arrange for the Tax Collector's office, in
Martinez to set up a sale to them of the above parcel, which was abandoned, for good
cause, over 30 years ago, and then either grant a sewer easement under it, to hook
up between the existing sewer under Newell Avenue, and the current easement across
the Parkmead School grounds, that ends at this parcel; or, sell the parcel to me and
then grant the easement.
Either way, I am prepared to reimburse your District for its' costs in the matter.
Paul Morsen was nice enough to send me a copy of a letter he received from Ken
Laverty, about a meeting Bill Benko (Bryan & Murphy Associates) and I had with your
property team.
Because of the difference in recollections, I have included mine, from the same
meeting, to set the record straight.
To help clarify what we are talking about, I've enclosed six copies of a map,
showing the parcel in question.
Also enclosed is a copy of the letter I received from the School District,
saying they don't feel it would be appropriate for them to be involved in this. (See
reference in my notes of the 6-13-85 meeting with your property committee.)
Thanks again, Joyce, for your assistance. If any problems come up, please don't
hesitate to phone me.

RECOLLECTIONS OF 6-13-85 MEETING WITH CCCSD PROPERTY COMMITTEE
On June 13, 1985, Bill Benko (Bryan & Murphy Associates, Walnut Creek), and
myself, met with your property team to discuss a sewer easement across this abandoned
parcel.
At the meeting, we tried to make several points:
A - I own land adjacent to the Parkmead School.
B - The School District has sold me a sewer easement across their land, from
mine to the above parcel.
C - The School District already has easements over AND under it for anything
they need, thus rendering the land essentially worthless.
D - This parcel isn't even the whole road. It's only the Eastern one-half of
the road.
E - The property was effectively abandoned by the former owner.
F - No taxes paid on it for over 30 years.
G - The property was sold to the State for non-payment of property taxes.
H - In 1984. the State transferred all such property back to its' former owners.
(Whether they wanted it or not; and, whether they could be found or not;
and, whether they were living or dead~)
I - I have spent a lot of time, in Martinez, trying to find the former owner.
No such luck.
J - The quickest. most hassle free, and most cost effective way to handle this
would be to have the Tax Collector's office in Martinez arrange a sale to
CCCSD, they do the easement and sell the property to me (After all, it was
abandoned, for valid reasons, over 30 years ago.)
K - I would reimburse your district for their costs.
Some of the property committee felt that nothing should be done by them, on
thi.s Inatter. because they didn't want to get into "planning matters".
As ~e tiied to point out, though~- if they refuse to do anything - that is a
plai1il.ifi~ decisiol1. the ultimate one. It stops me from ever living on my land.
The point we tried to make is that the District is in the sewer business, and
without the necessary easement over one-half of an abandoned exit road, the land is
rendered worthless.

On the other hand. by granting our request. the planning process can then
start; as. any work done on my land must still be approved by the county planning
department.
The property committee's final comment was that I should contact the School
District. to see if they would be willing to purchase the parcel and sell it to me.
As I pointed out. the School District already has easements over and under the
abandoned parcel. and thus no motivation to do anything along this line.
I left the meeting feeling very frustrated.

RE: EASEMENT ON IDLEWOOD DR., PARKMEAD INTERMEDIATE
Dear Mr. Macken:
This letter is to advise you that at its Regular Meeting last
Monday night, the Governing Board discussed your letter of May 30
concerning Idlewood Drive.
Please be advised that it was the Board's consensus that the
Walnut Creek School District is not interested in purchasing one-
half of that road adjoining Lot 20 on Newell Avenue.
Naturally, the District will maintain all of its interest in
the surface and overhead easement rights, as expressed in our
title deed to the Parkmead Intermediate School site.
Very truly yours,
~C ..A~<4~~

Attention: Ken Laverty
Real Property Committee
'.
Gentlemen:
On behalf of our client, Terry Macken, this is to
request a meeting with the real property committee
to discuss a right-of-way acquisition matter which
we believe to be of mutual interest to the District
and our Client.
Enclosed is a plat and description of the parcel in
question. Until recently, the property was in
the name of the State of California. The law was
changed last year and the property is now in the
name of the original owner. There is a deliquent
tax burden on the property which our client will
pay in order to secure title to the property in the
name of the District. Of course, our client will
pay all costs associated with transfer of title.
Please set a time for us to come in to discuss the
matter. Your early consideration will be sincerely
appreciated.
