Three informal bids have been received as follows:
H. W. Compasso, walnut Creek $43.00 per month
Alex. Moody Emeryville 65.00 per month
Jiro J. Berta walnut Creek 85.00 per month
It is recommended that the Manager be authorized to engage the
services of H. W. Compasso at the rate proposed by dim of $43.00
per month for daily janitorial service at the office building.
8. Consider Ordinance adopting Sewer Code. Representatives of the
Masters' Plumbers Association have advised of their desire to appear
before the Board toward the end that the Board should stipulate
that the side sewers (house connections) be installed by licensed
plumbers. The ordinance as drafted does not stipulate who will
perform this work but merely covers the method and inspection
dl of the` work to insure that the work will be installed properly. The
ordinance would permit any sewer contractor or house owner or
plumber to install the side sewers.
The ordinance as drafted generally conforms to the sewer codes
adapted by other Sanitary Districts, with some minor modifications
to avoid conflict with the County BuLiding Ordinance and the County
ordinance covering excavation in the paved surfaces in public roads.
Our ordinance hes been revie 'ed by the District Attorney who advises
that he feels it to be sound and workable and not in conflict with
the County ordinances.
The County Building ordinance applies to plumbing work when performed
within the areas covered by the building code. These areas now
comprise approximately 25% of the area of the Sanitary District.
In general, the owners may have their work performed at less cost
by sewer contractors installing the lateral sewers where thee are
houses now on the building sites. Where new houses are constructed
lat a later date it is usual thrt the house connection sewer be
installed by a plumber doing the balance of the house Plumbing.
We can see no reason why our ordinance should be changed to suit
\,,the suggestions of the Masters Plumbers Association.
9. Consider ordinance for subdivision sewers. This ordinance is
designed to permit subdividers to install their collecting sewers
and connect to manholes on the trunk or main sewers. Our Ordinance
No. 1 covers this matter only when.a temporary disposal plant was
involved.. The proposed ordinance will clarify this matter and
permit the Sanitary District to have control and inspection of the
work to be done by the subdividers.
10. Appoint right of way agent for L.I.D. No. 5. This work is in the
general Lafayette area, and it is recommended that Mr. Rothgery
be appointed.
11. Hear 11r. McMorrow regarding the Sanitary District assuming control
of garbage collection and disposal.

$1472.42 for fresh water pumping eouipment and a minor change in
millwork at the laboratory building door. This has been authorized

make it a matter of record.
