The roll call vote was as follows: AYES: Councilmen Bubics, Cairo, Harding, McWilliams and Mayor Long NOES: None ABSENT: None Mr. Fales stated that the Local Agency Formation Commission decided not to act on the Kaiser Gravel Quarry Annexation until April 8, 1965. He said the reason for delaying action was because this proposed annexation involves a philosophy of the agency. The LAFC questioned why the City of Pleasanton was not annexing the entire Stanley Blvd. area and the remaining Kaiser quarry area with the Kaiser Gravel Quarry annexation. The Commissioners present, consisting of Mssers Byers, Oakes and Vivrette, stated that the City boundaries should be extended as far as practicably feasible in terms of services that can be provided by the City. The City was instructed to contact the Kaiser Company regarding the annexation of their entire property. Mr. Fales explained that the property owners on Stanley Blvd. that are not desirous of annexatic at this time could cause the entire Kaiser annexation to be lost. The Stanley Blvd. area being an inhabited area, and the Kaiser Company a single property owner, whould result in an annexation election being defeated, if the previous position expressed by a majority of Stanley Blvd. residents was reflected at the polls. Mr. Fales stated that on March 11, 1965, the LAFC, by vote, indicated to the Alameda County Board of Supervisors that they would like to have all proposed County service areas referred to them in order that they can suggest that they not be formed ;f it is feasable for the areas in question to be annexed to the City. The proposed County service areas for fire protection in the Happy Valley, Stanley Blvd and Castle- wood areas would be affected by such a recommendation. Mr. Fales stated that the present annexation laws do not protect the people, but tend to put them in a position where they cannot receive City services. He claimed that the City of Pleasanton may be able to provide one of the best examples of what can happen to a City in the State of California under the present annexation laws. Ni Mr. Fales reported that the LAFC authorized the staff to communicate with Assemblyman Knox and state that the City of Pleasanton would be happy to testify and present the City as an example before the State Legislature to show the inadequacy of the State Annexation Laws. Mr. Fales stated that it was the opinion of the LAFC that the laws governing permits, zoning, planning and other City decisions for the areas contiguous to the City Limits should be made in Pleasanton and not in Oakland. Mr. Fales stated that the LAFC urged the City of Pleasanton to firm up its boundaries and annex as much territory as was feasible with regard to City services.
