As noted in the attached letter from Mr. Stoddard of Tinning & Delap, Attorneys at Law, dated April 23, 1973, we have 19 written protests on this LID. Eight of the protestants have temporary septic tank permits as noted by the letter "T" next to their names. In my Engineer's Report for the April 5, 1973, Board meeting I pre- sented a memo advising that there may be some opposition to the construc- tion of this LID. As mentioned in said report Mr. Laster recommends that we go ahead with the LID and send out the required official notices so that all the property owners may have the opportunity to be present at the public hearing and the tentative cost of the assessment can be established. Copies of the protest letters have been sent to Mr. J. Laster and also to Mr. Green of the County Health Department. As requested by Mr. Stoddard we will acknowledge receipt of the written protests.

A. Horstkotte, Jr., General Manager -Chief Engineer SUBJECT: Watershed Trunk Charge - Martinez Basin PROBLEM: It is necessary to establish a watershed trunk charge for the area tributary to Line M and the Martinez sewer system. This charge will be applied to all future connections within the watershed but outside of Local Improvement District No. 50 (and zero assessment parcels within Local Improvement District No. 50). BACKGROUND: The assessees of Local Improvement District No. 50 paid 33% of the total project cost, and 48% of the total local cost. Equating to these bases would result in charges of $340+ or $240+. With the exception of two watersheds in Orinda at $520 and two in Pacheco at $150, all watershed charges are now $200. RECOMMENDATION: Establish the Martinez watershed at $250 per living unit and $500 per acre for non-residential uses for a five year period. Respectfully submitted, Lo-clovt W. C.
