4. Pleasanton has indicated consistently the need for a Valley -wide approach to planning and execution of solutions to the sewage treatment and dis- posal problem, and has suggested formation of a Valley -wide jurisdiction to assume these responsibilities. Such a jurisdiction is preferable to working agreements since political representation is needed from all parts of the Valley in order to avoid having sewage treatment and disposal used for other unrelated purposes. 5. Pleasanton has expressed the need for adequate planning regarding treatment and disposal, particularly as follows: a. The future role of the Livermore, V C S D and Pleasanton facilities. b. The role of a future treatment facility in Sunol. c. The answer to the basic question of sewage reclamation vs. ocean outfall. Among the methods available in order to procure answers to these vital questions are those available through the Federal grant -in -aid program. 6. The views have been expressed before the Valley Sewer Study Committee since 1960; the Local Agency Formation Commission in 1964 and 1965; the Bay Area Water Quality Control Board in 1965, among others. 7. Conclusion - Since Zone 7 has, by recent State legislation, acquired the ability to enter the area of sewage treatment and disposal, and since Zone 7 is a Valley -wide jurisdiction providing for representation from all areas, Zone 7 should be encouraged to enter this field, as follows: a. Initially, and most important, the Zone should assume responsibility for planning in the entire area of the Valley, in terms of an integrated sewage treatment and disposal system. b. Since the Zone is already responsible for water importation and production, it is equipped and is a logical agency to conduct research and studies regarding water reclamation. c. In addition, a general plan for an integrated system should be prepared, including not only the possibility of water reclamation but also the need for an ocean outfall, a definition of the future role of the Valley's existing and possible future treatment facilities, the staging of the physical facilities which may be needed, and the methods of financing the integrated system. 8. Subsequently, upon completion of a general plan and its review by the agencies involved, a decision must be made regarding which agency or agencies provides the most effective and economical method by which an integrated system may be constructed and operated. Mayor Long stated that the suggested policy statement was most adequate in express- ing the City of Pleasanton's position in this matter. Mayor Long appointed Council- man McWilliams to make this presentation at the before mentioned meeting on January 13th. Proposed Additional Work; Assessment District No. 64 -3 (Arroyo Del Valle Interceptor eTer) Mr. Fales indicated that the Public Works Department has recommended that: 1. A spare compressor and motor for the sewer lift station be purchased at a cost of $630.00, and 2. That 672 square feet of asphalt driveway and 240 square feet of con- crete slab be installed adjacent to the lift station, at a cost of $514.00. 11r. Fales advised the City Council that sufficient funds are available in the assessment district to accomplish this work and the bond counsel has both approved this expenditure and prepared the necessary resolution for adoption. It was moved by Councilman McWilliams and seconded by Councilman Harding that Resolution No. 66 -4, authorizing the change in work by the City of Pleasanton to include the purchase of a spare compressor and motor and paving for the Sanitary Sewer Lift Station for a total cost of $1,144.00 to be paid from the Arroyo del Valle Assessment District No. 64 -3 Funds, be adopted. 2.
